Insurance Companies Still More
Exacting.

Inc insurance companies, in addition
To raising their rates to an almost pro-
h1bit1Ye figure in late years, have fur
lher raised the ire of property wner
by sending out another edict that this
and that shall not be done without per-
mission from the Underwriters Asso-
citation. Owners of property are getting
restless under these eXacting conditions
and the steadily increasing rates, and
has caused some of our successful bust
ness men who are large property own
ers on Five Mile Beach to consider the
matter OF starting a local fire insurance
company and taking only risks on the
island or in Cape May county.
The following is a copy of a notice
sent to insurance agents bearing date
OF November 20, 1903, and signed e. r.
Clemence, secretary of the Underwri-
ters' Association, 316 Walnut street,
Philadelphia, and addressed to prop
erty owners:
so many fires have resulted from
the elaborate decoration of business
houses, at Openings and during the
holiday season, and in churches and
public buildings, from the use of cotton
batting, Christmas green's, wool, paper
flowers and draped cheese cloth; also
f1imsy draperies and highly ignitible
materials in large quantities, that it
has been deemed eXpedient to call your
attention at this time to the fact that
such practice is in direct violation of
one of the conditions of the Standard
policy (see lines II, IA, 15), and may
render your policy void.
ELECTRICAL DISPLAYS, ETC.
"Series lighting, revolving lights, or
objects operated by a motor when the
motor is placed in the window itself
cannot be permitted, and nothing will
be allowed in store windows except
work of the most permanent character.
Attention is called To the fact that the
certificate and permit for use of cleo
tricity is subject 10 the following condi-
tons, VIZ: No additions, alterations or
repairs shall he made in the system of
wires, lamps or any portion of the sys-
tenn of wires or appliances for conduct
ing, creating, or controlling the electric
current located in the building until

POMP and circumstance, all the
glory and pageantry of this world,
attend the biers of rulers and states
men. A whole nation may wear the
habiliments of woe and yet no tear
be shed for the fallen hero. How
different when the philantropist
dies! No studied program of gor-
geous display marks the pageant.
That profound grief that finds vent
in tears, the prayers and blessings
of the great and humble alike, the
actual woe of sorrow laden hearts
this is the tribute that is paid vol
untarially to such men as DR.. r. d.
Murray. 1t were worse than useless
to write words of praise for a man
like this. The grief of this entire
city is more eloquent tribute than
the pen Of a Shakespeare could pay
to his memory. In silent reverence,
therefore, we pay the tribute of a
tear to the great soul that is now in
that high world beyond the stars.

the average two Of the justices Of the Su-

to see why the House judiciary committee

Of the justices of the Court of Appeals Of

she wants to win. She has turned from
Organism, but not to anything definite as
a substitute. Her present concern is to find
a man who can secure votes enough out
side Of her borders to elect him with her
aid President of the United States. Show
her that man and she Is for him.
Her information is that Judge Parker Of
New York has strong claims upon atten-
ton. She does not know him. And no
wonder. He Is a stranger in the political
field everywhere Something Of a stranger
in that field even at home. The politicians
know him only as a man who carried New
York in an of year in a judicial race. Upon
that achievement is founded the assertion
that he possesses an extraordinary hold
upon the people of the state and could car
ry the state for President next year. The
south asks nothing more than this. IN
stantly she begins to nourish a Parker
boom. She will take him without an In
quiry as to his attitude on the leading ques-
lions of the day, or a promise as to his
probable course in case Of election.
The south's present humor may pass
Let us hope that it will. Her influence in
party affairs ought to be commensurate
with her power, and exerted toward the
writing of sound platform as well as to-
ward nominating a popular candidate
Success at the polls will mean tremendous
responsibility.
