Humor and Pathos of Accident ln-
 surance.

The president of one of the leading accident insurance companies gave lecture to the students of Yale univer- sity, a few days ago, and he brought out some very interesting and sugges- tive facts and figures. Abiding to the popular belief that most accidents oc- cur in travelling. he pointed out that the percentage is almost the same be- tween the casualties which happen to people indoors at their homes and those which happen to them while travelling with horses and vehicles, while accidents at home, inside and outside the house, are more than seven times as frequent as accidents on rail- roads. But here is the percentage of causes among the claims paid by the insurance company:

S. Here are the figures:

One would scarcely look for humor in a business that deals with human mutilaticns and sufferings, but the in- surance president to whom we have referred pointed out in his lecture that the records of an accident company contain, nevertheless, many curiosi- ties, such as the case of a young man who worked in a saw-mill and lost one of his fingers ''monkeying with the buzz saw" He soon recovered, re- ceived the indemnity payable under his policy, went back to work, and promptly reported the loss of another finger; the explanation being that it was taken off while showing friend how he lost the first one.

 Another was standing at the COW stable door, lifted my right foot to touch a COW, and when doing so think my left foot was placed on the tail of the cow. The COW started and I was thrown and fell. striking violently on my left side"
 And these speciments are quoted from various claims:

How Germany CIvilizes.

For several months at intervals. brief cable dispatches have chronicled the progress of hostilities between the Hereros and Germans in German South Africa. Almost uniformly, so far the German forces have been de- feated; although, to be sure, the fight ing has been nothing but skirmishing. The troops available against the na- tives are few in number. and it is stated at Berlin that the Germans can not take the offensive effectively be- fore the middle of April. Beyond a mild curiosity to know why 1t has been found necessary to have war with the Hereros. who, like all other native Africans, would rather have peace than war with the white man, there has been but a languid interest in this country in the affair, but this interest will be stimulated somewhat when the cause of the native uprising is known.
 A cablegram from Berlin to the New York Sun explains that this cause is found in the atrocious cruelty of the Germans toward the Hereros. It is affirmed that the brutality of German soldiers and officials which is gradu- ally coming to light equals the cruelty of which the Belgians have been guilty in the Congo Free State. Official reports published in Berlin a few days ago confirm the worst accusation made by the newspapers and missionaries in regard to the Germans ruthless cruelty and injustice to the natives. Lands and cattle have been seized for debts already paid. The fiogging. imprison- ment and shooting of natives on the and children have been subjected to every form of horror.
 A resident of Cape Colony who re- gently visited the scene of trouble states that Germans to the number of 120 have been killed by the natives, and he describes the German system of government as terrible. Women are forced to do hard work, such as push- ing trucks at the custom house, while soldiers look on and beat them with whips if they are thought to be shirk- ing. Some of these women. the colon- ist says, were carrying little children on their backs, who came in for a share of the punishment. Herero men were chained by the neck and feet and treated worse than convicts.
 Altogether. the story throws a brill iant fiashlight upon the German meth- cd of carrying civilization" and Chris tianity into the benighted regions of the earth, and it is evident that the Germans have learned no lesson from the failure of the Spanish style of colonization.
 The Hereros are cattle-raisers, and are partly civilized. That they have some civilization is evident from the fact that they are not melesting Eng hshmen or Boers who happen to be found in their country. They form a populous tribe, and as they are good fighters when aroused they will make things interesting for the invaders for awhile. But of course they can make no stand of consequence against Ger- man machine guns when the real fight ing begins.

Mark Twain long ago contended that the most dangerous place in all the world is ones bed at home, passing his contention on the fact that more peo- pie die in bed than anywhere else; and the foregoing table indicates that home, at least, is the most dangerous spot that one can frequent. More than one-third of all the accidents which befall us happen at home.
 Another very curious detail concerns the bicycle. When it first came into favor that instrument was the cause of a lot of trouble but the number of bicycle claims paid by this one com pany has been steadily declining. Since 1896 there has been a falling off amounting to 91 per cent. Whether this comes from a reduced use or from a better ability to manage the article is to be determined by the philoso- phers, Here are the figures:

EX-GOVERNOR BAKER
VISITING The CITY

Col. John T. Baker, the last Governor
of the Island of Hawaii under the mon
archy, is in town as a witness in one
of the Parker Ranch suits. He says
that ranching at W aimea, in which he
is now engaged, agrees with him
splendidly and he does look as if it
did. Yesterday he met a former col
league of the Legislature of 1890 and
another acquaintance of that time both
at once at the front of the Judiciary
building, which caused him to remark
on the few old friends he met since his
arrival last Saturday.
Just one yesterday, and you two
today" he said as his stalwart frame
shook with boyish mirth. Then he re-
peated a piece of railIery which he ut
tered in English at the close of a long
native harangue in the Legislature one
day. and his former colleague laughed
heartily as he said he remembered the
incident. The other old friend, though
not member of the Legislature, was
the only one present who understood
the sally when it was uttered, for it
was directed at himself and borrowed
from a story told at his expense by the
late Paul Neumann under Mr.. Bakers
roof in Hilo.
There are few Hawailans today who
look to be chiefs on the model of the
older time imposing in physique and
commanding in demeanOr, so stTikingly
as does Col Baker. His late brother
Robert Hoapri Baker. a Governor Of
Maui was the model for the Kameha-
meha statue.

referred to, and also cause to be erect
ed a suitable building or buildings on
said site for the use of the district of
Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii. the
Philippine Islands, and also oriental
and oceanic countries that may desire
an exhibit of their products and re-
sources at said exposition
The section goes on to provide an
appropriation of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars ($25O,oOo) for the
buildings mentioned, including prepar-
alton of grounds therefor and the
lighting thereof, also for the DISPOSE
ton of the structures at the close of
the exposition. At least one distinct
building is to be for forestry and irri-
cation exhibits, as a reference in the
foregoing quotation shows
On its own part, the United States
Government will have an exhibit part
ly selected from that now at ST. Louis
The Act provides for drawing from the
treasures of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton and various Federal departments
to enrich the national display at Port
land. Hawaii, as already shown, has
the privilege of resting right under
the wing of the American eagle so
that the isolation of the Territory
which the ST. Louis management at
times threatened during negotiations
for a site carried on by our authori-
ties, is rendered entirely impossible

PROVISION FOR HAWAII
At OREGON CENTENNIAL
Act of Congress Devotes the United States
Buildings In Part to Exhibit
From Hawaii.

Editor Advertiser: Hawaii is given
an unprecedented opportunity of max
ing an exhibit at a universal fair by
special provision in an Act of Congress
authorizing the Federal Government to
participate in the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition at Portland,
Oregon, next summer. Such provision
is that of accommodation for a Ha-
waiian exhibit
From the wording of the section re-
lating to buildings. it may not be too
much to expect that, with prompt ac-
ton on the part of our people, an ex-
clusively Hawaiian building to cost
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 might
be obtained out of the Federal appro-
priation. If not that, at all events the
Territory of Hawaii will not be meanly
treated in the matter of space when
the quarter of a million dollars for
United States buildings, in part speci-
fically devoted to a Hawaiian exhibit,
has been expended.
With accommodation for Hawaii pro-
vided without cost, doubtlessly at the
very center of the Fair, the expense
of making a telling exhibit would be
comparatively trifling. There is a fair
~ perfected plan extant from the de
feated purpose of a st. Louis exhibit,
with probably also some of the imper-
ishable articles collected yet available.
Indeed, the magnificent educational ex-
hibit prepared for the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition is not only intact but
mostly packed already for shipment.
Transportation, with steamers direct to
Northwestern ports, ought to be in
expensive.
Whatever may be said for and a.
gainst the value of exhibits at great
fairs, the affirmative in this particular
the circumstances. Discussions, more
or less desultory, arise at both ends
of the line every now and again upon
the question of promoting trade be-
tween Hawaii and ports on the North
west Pacific Coast. An exposition in
that quarter would afford an excellent
chance for Hawa i to illustrate to bust
ness men and consumers there just
what Hawaiian products might, with
adequate transportation facilities, be
placed in that market for exchange
with the lumber, grain and manufac-
tured articles of the great Northwest
country.
The title of the Act of Congress re-
ferred to, being Chapter 1858 of the
statutes of 1904, reads as follows:
AN Act to authorize the Govern
ment of the United States to particle
pate in celebrating the one handredth
anniversary of the exploration of the
oregon country by Captains Meriwethe.

WILL E. FISHER.
AUCTIONEER.
War Time Hero a Pauper.

1t was generally believed that when
Mrs. John c. Kealy was induced to
leave her former home in the latest
addition to the Naval academy grounds
that the last private citizen had de-
parted from that area and that the
United States government had full
swing to carry on its improvements.
This. however. is not the case. for a
little howell inside the academy walls is
still occupied by another Annapolis
notable, John Jackson, although ar
rangements have been completed by
which he will move to other quarters
within few days.
The man. John Jackson, who is still
q tenant by sufference on the grounds
of the academy, although now reduced
to the lowest depths of poverty, was
United States sailor during the civil
war, and performed a feat of splendid
daring and courage. which was recog-
nized by the government and medal
commemorative of il bestowed upon
him.
The feat took place during the block
ade of Charleston. :. c. by the Fed
eral fleet. Some United States vessels,
the largest or WnlCH Was tle Milan 'oiio
NAH, upon which Jackson was sailor,
had crossed the bar into the harbor
and could only retrace their course by
the same narrow channel by which they
had come. The Confederates in the
shore batteries discovered this. and as
the tide was at a flood they launched
three torpedos chained together, so as
to float down on the Federal ships and
destroy them The torpedoes We're the
kind which exploded on contact With
some object. Jackson volunteered 10
swim toward the torpedoes and I'M
screw the cap which was intended to
explode them. This feat ne accom-
plished. though with the greatest dan
ger of meeting death from a premature
explosion or from the shots of the Con-
federates. To accomplish ii he was
forced to dive and do a part of the
work under vater.-New York Times.
