Editor News:-Permit me to
make a little further explanation
in your paper relative TO VIM.
Keefer's letter of September 9th.
FIRST, | wish to say that the state
ment made IN the previous issue
of the News by policy holder in
the Fulton County Mutual Fire
Insurance Company, in explana-
ton of VIM, Keefer's loss, is alb
solutely correct, excepting that
we have not yet passed the "three
hundred thousand. dollar mark,
but we are getting there, never.
theless. Il did not write that ar
ticle, therefore | am not account
able for the mistake.)
Now, as to Mr.. Keefer's letter,
he seems hurt over his loss, which
is natural, and we deeply sympa-
tEize with him, and especially my
self, who solicited his name on
our subscription to raise the
amount required by law to secure
a charter and to do insurance
business. Mr.. Keefer said in his
letter. 81 was persuaded to leave
the Friends Cove Company, and
to go into the Fulton County Mu-
tual Insurance Company" Mr..
Keefer called me by phone to his
home, Feb. 81, 1905, TO see his
family who were sick. arrived
about midnight, and renamed
until the morning of the 22nd,
when | asked HIM to help US raise
the amount necessary to secure
the charter. He said he would,
as his policy had expired IN the
Friends Cove, and he would not
renew again, and he signed for
$1,000. To confirm this state.
ment, and that l did not persuade
him to leave any company, | will
quote you verbatim, card from
James l.. Lake, agent for the
Friends Cove Company in this
county, viz;
Sept Is, 1905.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Keefer's insurance
run out Sept q, 1903. / was there be-
fore it was out aud have been there
since
Yours
JAMES L. LAKE.
According to this, his policy
had expired one and one-half
years before | was there. He
further SAID that | told him "his
protection would begin as soon as
the charter was granted" If
Mr.. Keefer understood me thus,
l am sorry, for | made no one
such promise. All charter
members were TO have, and have
had, free policies when they fill
ed or caused TO be filed an appli-
cation for their policy, and all
policies issued prior to June 1st,
took effect on that date. Mr..
Keefer did not, nor has not made
any application for his policy
We are like Mr.. Keefer, "We be-
lieve IN insurance" but we don't
believe in letting our insurance
expire one and one-half years be-
fore renewing. This should be a
warning to everyone to look after
his insurance and see that his
property IS protected.
The Fulton County Mutual Fire
Insurance Company opened It's
doors June 1st, aud has we'll up
into three hundred thousand dol.
lars of insurance in force-which
means a large number of policy
holders-and have not had one
cent of loss, which should BRING
praise from every polIcy holder,
as this has been a dangerous sea-
son for fires.
1t is the desire of this company
to do an honest and legitimate
business, and all we desire is for
the public to give us a trial.
Yours truly

trate Whitman. II smoke a good deal
when I'm at home, and the bloomin
parrot don't like it-or my wife says it
don't, anyway. Sometimes it hangs
from the top of the cage by it's feet and
screams and swears frightfully. Mary
lays 1t to my tobacco. Her brother can
smoke cigarettes till the cows come
home, though, and she won't say
word. Last week came in one night
and found Coffee-thats the brother
smoking in the parlor where the parrot
is, so 1 lit up. Pretty soon in came my
wife and raised a row.
Whew,' she says, the room is blue,
looking right at me.
when l asked her why she didn't
speak to Coffee, she said she would If
he smoked the same kind as 1 did. She
said his smoke didn't hurt the parrot
That made me mad, and I got personal
to Coffee. The whole family, wife, and
brother-in-law, and all, came at me,
and 1 had to defend myself. 1 licked
them all. but I'm sorry about striking
my wife"

fright and ran away, scattering canned
goods, candles, picks and shovels along
the road for half mile.
In some places in the mountains the

a Cavalryman Of the

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Miss Carolyn
Gordon of 1872 West Eighty-second
street is engaged to be married to Capt.
Saruta Mariya, a cavalry officer in the
Japanese army. Miss Gordon is young.
blonde and good to look upon. She
plays the part Of "Tessie Nicklebacker"
in the Mcintyre and Heath company,
now appearing at the New York
theater.
Miss Gordon did not yield imme-
diately to the Establishments Of the
dashing young cavalry officer. She
met him two years ago. before the out
break Of the war, while she was in
Paris studying vocal music, Mariya fell
in love at once and proved to be an
ardent wooer. With the dash and de-
termination which have characterized
his countrymen in the war with Rus
sia, he laid siege to the heart and
hand Of Miss Gordon, demanding an
immediate surrender. But although
more than half won, she did not cap
itulate at once. She demanded time
to consider.
So still unpledged, she returned to
this country, while Capt. Mariya went
back to Toxic and Joined his regiment
Miss Gordon admits now that the bril-
liant success of the Japanese army,
the fearlessness and dash Of the little
men against their big antagonists, COM
pletely won her. So when her lover
came safely through the struggle and
returned to Toxic she could no longer
Withstand his pleadings. The cable
carried the messages which sealed the
bargain and they will be married in
December.
Capt. Mariya is graduate of Oxford
university and his family is one of
great wealth and high standing. He
owns a large tea plantation.
Miss Gordon has been upon the stage
ment was with "a Runaway Girl"
during it's Daily theater engagement.
and she afterward replaced Miss Min
ME Ashley in San Toy" Since that
time she has appeared with the Roger
Brothers and Francis Wilson, and last
season played the leading female part
in "The Silver Slipper" company.
Miss Gordon will retire from the
stage after her marriage and make her
home in Japan.

stolen, and reported the matter to the
police. A description of the watch was
telegraphed far and wide In the city,
and copy given to every pawnbroker.
Meeting the, friend who had his watch
the day after its loss had been reported,
