net result Of their past work in one
particular-their progress in the art of
oratory and eloquence. When first wo-

never learn or observe parliamentary

Time and clubs went on. Women did

women began practicing that, too, and

anything else than talk. Undoubtedly
the ladies have found their tongues In

A cynical rabbinical legend records
that when Eve was packing her trunks
to leave the garden Of Eden just the

the gate she ran to the great tree OF
Cable and under 1t gathered up twelve
basketfuls Of talk and brought them
away with her. She saved some of the

1t Is on record that one ladies' organ

number of years. In 1900 the president
gave an account of progress before the
society, and her address began:

and the school for girls "still remains

State Insurance Commissioners Urges
the People to Beware OF "WiId
Cat Companies.
MANY COMPANIES BLACKLlSTED.
Some of the Companies Have Done Business
In Kenosha and Men Here are Inter-
ested In Their Management.

A warning against "wiid cat'' or
unlicensed fire insurance companies
which are doing business in the state
has just been issued by Insurance
Commissioner Host in circular letter
in which he says:
To the Public:
l. desire to warn the citizens of
Wisconsin against great many FIRE
insurance companies that are trans
acting business in the state without
authority and in direct violation of
the law.
The department Of insurance re-
ceives inquiries nearly every day
about companies that are not licensed
to transact business IN Wisconsin.
Any company that is willing to defy
and evade the laws of this state cam
not be trusted to settle is claims.
Furthermore policy holder having =
claim against one of these wild cat
companies would be compelled to bring
suit against the company in the state
in which it is organized in order to
recover his claim, and the chances are
that he could collect nothing from the
company.
The laws of Wisconsin provide that
any person representing unauthori-
zed companies in this state is liable
TO the insured in case of loss and the
company refuses to pay it. In most
cases however, wild cat companies
cannot secure responsible people to
represent them, therefore, this law
does not protect the insured for as a
rule, persons representing wild cat
companies are irresponsible and a
Judgment against them is worthless.
During the past six mouths, have
heard of the following companies
transacting business in this State
without license:
American Trust and Insurance Co.,
Illinois.
American Underwriters of Illinois,
| Illinois.
Commonwealth Savings and Insur.
ance Co., of Virginia.
Great Northern Insurance Co., Of
Illinois.
Mercantile Fire Insurance Co., of
Illinois.
National Insurance and Investment
Co., of Delaware. fa
Northern Fire Insurance Co., of
Illinois.
The companies have no standing in
their own States, and are defrauding
this State of taxes and fees of which
this department has collected during
the past six months, $5C0, 900 from duly
authorized companies. 1t is an injus.
tice to authorized companies to permit
wild cat companies to transact bust.

eliminating wild cat insurance, ap.

Des Moines. April 25.-The hegira of
the dipsomaniacs from the state hos
pitfalls where these people are kept con-
tinues. While the members of the
state board of control We're visiting Mt.
Pleasant hospital this week, they were
given an object lesson in the way the
..dipsys" do business by twelve of them
quietly departing from the shelter Of
the state. 1t is no crime to run away,
there is no punishment, no provisions
for preventing their departure, they are
not prisoners undergoing punishment,
they are not placed behind bars but
are given the same freedom as insane
charges, and it would be a decidedly
expensive matter for the state to un-
dertake to supply n attendant for
each drunk sem TO the state hospitals.
And so they walk away when they get
tired of staying. THE net result of
the present situation stated Judge
Robinson, of the state board, on his re-
turn from the quarterly visit to the
institutions, lis that the state hospitals
are for those who are willing to stay
and take treatment and for them alone.
All others simply go away. AT Mt.
Pleasant they are now going away
faster than they are coming, so there
is q prospect of having the number
reduced, especially as soon as warm
weather ome After the men stay
there awhile they get better clothes and
feel like returning home. Most of them
are ragged and dirty when they come.
AS soon as they are partially straight
ened up they van to get back to their
old haunts. When they go they take
the good clothes the state furnishes and
some of them are not averse to taxi
ing clothes that belong to insane pa
tients. But there is no way of stopping
them. They annot be treated like
prisoners at the penitentiary and they
do not bear the same treatment as the
insane. Then there Is the continual
ill-feeling between the insane and the
dipsomaniacs at the institutions. 1t is
a hard problem for us in its present
condition"
