ton in the state II 1t is possible to do
30. Agents for the companies will be
prosecuted and, If evidence to warrant
an action can be obtained, suits will
be fled against the companies them

late there has been much complaint
regarding wildcat" insurance COM
panies. Without authority from the
state insurance department they oper-
ate in Kansas and people are induced
to take out policies by lower rates be-
ing offered than are made by any
reputable company. The policies arc
beautifully engraved affairs in nearly
every case, but they are worth just the
paper they are printed on, as it is
against the rule Of the men operating
wildcat" companies to ever pay losses.

MEXICAN CONGRESS OPENED.
President Diaz Calls Attention to De
probation of Silver.

4 dispatch from Mexico City yesterday
saws: President Diaz opened congress to-
night in the presence Of a brilliant audience,
Including many visiting Americans. Speak
ing of the decision against Mexico by The
Hague tribunal in the matter of the Plus
fund President Diaz said that although
the decision was adverse to Mexico it served
to demonstrate before the world that there
are peaceful means for settling interna-
tional questions.
The measures recently taken in the fed
eral district for regulating the retail liquor
traffic have given satisfactory results, since
cases of intOXicatloE and crimes nave d.
minished notably.
Much space Is given in the message to
educational matters, in which a steady i'm
provement has been noted.
The condition Of the federal treasury has
been satisfactory during the present fiscal
year. The country has been, in general.
prosperous, although there are few slight
clouds which cast shadow on the future.
The rapid and continuous depreciation In
the value of the white metal since 1901
threatens to cause eventually, even in the
opinion Of the most optimistic, disturbances
outweighing all advantages derived from
the rise in foreign exchange This and the
knowledge that other nations using silver
as a monetary base meditated changes in
their currency systems melted the executive
to seek the cooperation of the United
States, being already. assured of the aid of
China, for the purpose Of joint study of
this important matter and to bring about
a fixed relation between gold and silver
among the countries employing these differ
ent standards.
A large commission has been appointed
here to study the question purely from a
local standpoint in order TO define the policy
which would best suit Mexico as regards
the employment Of silver in it's currency
quite independently of what may happen in
the course of international negotiations

sank off Hawkins Point.
For Ave hours the captain and his wife
chung to the top Of the pilot house, while
sea after sea washed over them Frank
Hancock and his brother sighted the wreck
from shore. They put out in a small boat
which was swamped twice before they
reached the nearly drowned couple.
The bride, unconscious, was first taken
ashore. Her husband. when rescued, was
exhausted and injured from his exertion to
save his wife.

A Race of Mothers.

The notion that the Japanese woman
Is meek and slavish creature, little
better than a servant in her household
is altogether mistaken one. On the
contrary, she is addressed as "Okusa
ma" the honorable lady Of the house
and is treated with the greatest re
spect and consideration by her hus
band and her family. She is the
mentor, the autocrat and idol Of the
home. In domestic affairs she has
full control. Her duties are onerous
but never repugnant to her. They con
sist of managing the household, prac-
ticihg economy, making her home
pleasant both in appearance and by
her cheerfulness of disposition, and the
education and instruction of her chill
dren, for even after the children have
entered school they are still under her
tutelage A Japanese house is the
acme of purity. TO q western eye the
aspect of the interior of a Japanese
house may at first seem bare and
barren. In truth, the japanese abhor
decoration Of any kind, and consider
it not only inartistic, but extremely
vulgar.
