lieves. however, that the crowds wero
about equal to those four years ago.
The number of applications for quarters
were far below those of 1901. This may
be explained by the fact that the COM
mittee sent out circulars all over the
eountring announcing the places were
board could be secured. and many par
ties communicated direct.
Opinion prevails in some quarters that
the number of visitors from distance
vas less than four years ago. The num-
Der from Ohio and Indiana was much
smaller than during the last inaugura-
ton of Mckinley. but visitors from
short tance-neighboring towns and
citieS-were much more numerous and
it is thought made up the difference.

Mr. Weller was greatly pleased with
the inauguration on the whole.

The Manufacturers Record in
a recent bulletin called attention
in a rather striking way to the
manner in which the money paid
Tor fire insurance in the south is
carefully carted north and used
to build up that section of the
country. From tabulated re-
turns the Record shows that of
$35,OOO.OOO paid annually for
premiums the southern com.
panies get but 100000. On
this subject, the Record contin.
ues:
1t may be claimed that while
admitting most of this large sum
OF $32, 1858, 3O6 is primarily ship
ped away, the bulk of it eventu-
ally comes back to the south in
the way of losses, the companies
retaining only a reasonable per-
centage as their underwriting
profit for their risk and trouble.
This is true, and it is not true.
These premiums are cash in adj
vance to cover periods running
frequently as long as five years,
and the laws of practically every
state declare that only a pro rata
OF such premiums are earned for
the actual time elapsed, so COM
panies are compelled to charge
themselves with the unearned
premiums as a liability which
the law says really belongs to the
policyholder as a reinsurance re-
serve. Such reserves amount
practically to IS per cent. Of pre-
miums annually reported, SO out
OF the $685. 800 received by
them the nonresident companies
owe the southern people $24,428,-
78O, or. in round figures. $25, 600,
COO which large sum these COM
panies have the use of free of all
interest charges"
Louisiana according to this
table, pays 81, 4OO 600 in insur-
ance premiums, of which only
$6OO. 900 goes to her own citizens.
The yearly reports show that
Louisiana is q profitable state for
fire insurance companies. The
rates charged are extortionately
high. the legal restrictions are1

to st. Louis have been published. As
to whether there is any truth in this
story, it cannot be said, but local Of

which connects the local road with the

say that it will be the ultimate aim
of the road to enter both st. Louis and

will do it Independent of all other
