THE BALTIMORE FIRE
An Insurance Company Loses Mil
lion But Gives Ten Thousand to
Aid in III, Baltimore Fire.

The matter of the financial condition of
the insurance companies which had risks
in the great fire in Baltimore was the sub
ject Of much talk yesterday.
Almost all the people in Raleigh who
carry fire insurance were looking at their
policies yesterday in order to discover the
condition of the company in which they
were carrying insurance. 1t Is gratifying
to learn at first hands that many com
panies here have stood the loss of the
fire without any great strain, and from
reports that all the others are in good
shape.
Here is how one company, which was
a heavy loser by the fire, showed that it
was safe and strong. This is the Liver
pool and London and Globe Insurance
Company, which yesterday sent to Messrs
II. T. Hay & Brother. its Raleigh agents,
the following telegram, signed by II. w.
Eaton, resident manager in New York:
Estimated Baltimore loss $1,000, 600,
which will be paid by draft on home
office SO as to maintain surplus United
States branch. We have subscribed $4,000
for relief of sufferers"
company that loses a million dollars
in day and then subscribes $4,000 for
relief of sufferers is pretty good one.
From Messrs. Hall and Henshaw, United
States managers, Messrs. T. T. Hay &
Brother, general agents, received the fol
lowing, showing the firm solid one.
Outside figures our companies lose in
Baltimore fire: Union Assurance Society
$3.50. 900; Law Union and Crown 500. goo.
ThIs will En M difference
to them, except to increse their business"
The Teutonia Insurance Company does
not lose a cent. A wire from New Or
leans to the Messrs. Hay says:
I'VE are not entered in the State OF
Maryland, nor represented there.
The Virginia State wired the Messrs.
Hay. General Agents: Losses not severe
in Baltimore fire and have a big surplus
left"
Mr.. Grimes Cowper said last night that
all the companies he represented each
have assets of over ten millions of dol
lars and are solid. These are North
British and Mercantile Scottish Union and
National, Fire Association of Philadelphia,

Another company that has wired its
agents here. the Raleigh Real Estate and
Trust Company, is the Royal Insurance
Company, of Philadelphia 1t says It's
stability would not be affected by, many
such losses and that it Is now adjusting
and paying those in the Baltimore fire.
1t has a cash capital of ten millions and
assets of sixty-tive millions.
The Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance
Company of Richmond, has informed Mr.
f. X. Ellington, its general agent here,
that it had no loss in the Baltimore fire
Mr.. W. W.. Smith. special agent OF
Western and British America Assurance
Companies, says that in the Baltimore
losses the former is interested only $500
900. and the latter only $4,000. He also
states that the Hartford Fire insurance
Company, following out its usual pro
gramme, is already adjusting and paying
Baltimore losses.

Red Hair.

Nowadays people with red hair are
somewhat envied. 1t was not always
%. In Egypt, for instance. the auburn
headed were regarded with aversion.
The ancient Egyptians were 50 violent
ly opposed to hair Of this tone that
once year they burned a maiden who
possessed bright locks in the hope Of
exterminating or lessening what they
considered a curse.
Sentiment aside. people of the auburn
head type have a vast advantage. They
are less liable to badness than those
who own brown or black hair. The
reason thereof Is that one red hair Is
as thick as three dark hairs. With
10000 red hairs the scalp Is well
matched. With the same number Of
dark hairs person is almost bald.
The average number OF tilaments that
the brunette belle has to comb and
brush is 100000.
