world
This action was taken at a meeting
of the board today and was the re-
suit of the insurance investigation
matter brought before the board by
President McCurdy. The committee

Another interesting development
in. insurance matters today was The
statement issued by President Nor
ton of the Equitable. showing that
the receipts of that company for nine
months Of this year exceeded the ex-
penditures by over sixteen million
dollars, an increase of over five hum
dred thousand dollars compared with

SHIP
SAILS ON HER
VOYAGE
The Kaiser Which Had Nine Cases
of Fever on Board
Departs.

The German ship Kaiser, which was
delayed in this port for over a month
on account of the prevalence aboard
the vessel Of yellow fever, has at las;
sailed on her voyage The vessel
got under way Tuesday and is now
far out at sea.
The Kaiser was singuIarly unfor
tunate on her visit to this port. She
had taken her cargo and cleared, and
would have sailed on her voyage ia
few days, when sickness was dis
covered among the men. This proved
to be yellow fever, and before It
could be checked nine Of the crew
were either dead or down with the
fever.
This necessitated the ship remain
ing here until the recovery of some
of tie men. Three Of them died, but
the others recovered and left with the
ship
Among them was. the cabin boy,
who was among The fist to die. This
was his first voyage, and when the
captain left his home Nport the boy
was placed in his charge by his par
ents. The latter were at the dock to
see him depart, little dreaming that
they were seeing him for the last
dime. One of the sad duties of the
master upon his return will be to in
form them Of their sons death.

The Air and the Sun.

An old writer says, ''When men
lived in houses Of reed they had con-
stitutions of oak; when they lived IN
houses of oak they had constitutions
of reeds This is a very fine, pic
turesque description of the injury
which may come to US from fine
houses too closely sealed to keep out
the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance of
sunshine, which is almost or quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses
unhealthful, and it only requires in
telligence and thoughtfulness to rem
der a house of oak as promotent of
health as a cabin. Fresh air will
come from a well ventilated oaken
house as well as through the open
cracks in house of reeds, and sun
light through a window in palace
as wei as In a hovel.-Health.

Wanted Some Himself.

wholesale grocery house was selling
a bill Of goods to one Of his Gus
toners, a grocer in little village.
'ENow," he said, ''to wind up with,
don't you want a few cans Of our
maple strip? You'll find it the
best you have ever kept in stock"

ty of maple sirup."
''When did you get it? I don't
remember selling you any when |
was here on my last trip"
'You didn't. | got this in the
country"
''Is it the real stuff ?"
"That's what it is. My brother
made it in his own camp. He's got
500 trees"
'1'd like to taste it.
A sample of the country maple
strip was brought out. He tasted
it and took the grocer to one side.

goods / sell of course, but | want a

CREDIT CUSTOMERS.
Where They Have an Advantage Over
Those Who Pay Cash.

II should think they'd show more
consideration to a good cash custom
err exclaimed the shopper, who had
Just had a wordy encounter over an
exchange slip with the foorwalker.
IF they would take the trouble to
look the matter up they'd find nv
name regularly on the delivery
books"
That's just the trouble-it's only
on the delivery books and not among
their charge customers"
'But | should think the firm
would want big cash trade:'
at does, but firm and employees
look at it differently. When a wo-
man says, Charge, please the clerk
sits up and takes notice. The wo-
man who has an account is the wo-
man who can most easily complain
of discourtesy and inattention on
the part of clerk. The value of
her trade is known to the firm. She
prefaces her complaint with the
words, AS you know, I've had an
account here ever since the store was
opened The cash customer repre-
sents a single sale. She cannot prove
how valuable her trade is to the
house, and the clerk knows it. I've
watched the rule work again and
again. 1t almost discourages one in
the self imposed task of paying
cash."
''But, on the other hand" object
ed the tired shopper, IF a woman
pays cash she buys more carefully,
more providently."
'"That is just the point" smiled
her wise companion. 'SItsis the wo-
man who buys improvidently, some
times foolishly, who commands the
respect and incidentally the atten-
ton of clerks. New York Press.

an evening party where a young
man was present who was about to
leave for an appointment in China,

exceedingly extravagant in his con-
