MANY ODD FORMS
OF RISKS TO BE HAD
Insurance May Now Be OBJ
tanned Against Almost Any
EventuaIity.

NEW YORK, Jan. 80. = One
Is now able to get insured
against almost any possible danger.
One of the most unusual risks ever is
sued by an insurance company is that
in behalf of Nine. Adelina Patti, where
by the noted singer Is insured against
pecuniary loss If she '1oses" her voice
during her present farewell tour Oh
the United States. Under the condl-
tions of the policy she Is to get $4,000 II
she cannot sing at any one OF TIE
concerts.
Another policy guarantees the diva
$4,000 on the whole tour in the event
of permanent and total loss of voice.
In addition, the singers manager has
third policy, insurance on the health OF
Nine. Patti during the various engage
ments of her American contract The
latter policy is for the personal re-
muneration of the manager should the
prima donna break down and prevent
her from filling her professional en-
gagements The voice" policies are
her own investment, and she personal
ly paid the premiums.
Great Secrecy Preserved.
All three risks were underwritten by
Lloyds, in England, and, unlike many
theatrical ventures, there has been con-
siderable endeavor on the part of those
interested to keep the policies a secret.
For this reason some of the details
are difficult to obtain. 1t is known,
however, that the corporation that as
sumed both voice liabilities subjected
the singer to most exhaustive exam
ination and that a celebrated German
specialist was called into the medical
conference. The throat of Nine. Pat
ii was reported to be in the best con-
dition, but the underwriters hesitated
for some weeks because of the doubts
of the doctors as to the rigors of an
American winter.
It was made mandatory on the part
Of the singer that in the event of her
being unable to sing she was to cable
her address Immediately, that the In
surance company might have the priv
ilege of communicating by wire, for
purposes of corroboration, with any
physicians 1t saw fit in any American
or Canadian city that she happened
TO be in at the time. She Is also to
furnish at her own expense affidavits
from three leading doctors on the con-
dition of her throat. This is the first
known instance in which singer has
insured herself against possible none
tary loss through her inability to sing
because Of voice failure.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 30.-With one
of her sailors, Juan de Ia Cruz Silva
Martinez, Spaniard, almost dead from
the bite of a voracious shark, the bark
Margharita arrived at Savannah sew
eral weeks ago, and Martinez was
placed in st. Joseph's hospital, where
his leg was amputated. He has brought
suit against the ship for $4,000 for the
leg the shark chewed off. In the lam
guage of the polite Spaniard who has
learned English, he tells his story as
follows:
Il had two legs. now have one and
a piece The remainder of the piece
was food for shark in the South seas.
For that which have lost / demand
$4,000 from the owner Of the ship on

comprehend, 1t is winter at the time
1t Is summer here, and the spray car
ried by the wind Is very cold. On the
yard, you know, are foot ropes. On
these one stands while one reefs the

while working with the hands.
II get out on the foot ropes, on the

me there and the wind howls. I brace
myself for the work, when, Madre de

rope has broken! know in an instant
what has happened, and grasp desper-
ately at the yard. But 1t bows itself
out of reach, and am precipitated into

warmth is grateful and am glad for
