Proverbs.

Unto you, 0 men I call; and
my voice is to the sons of men,
viii, 4.
Riches and honor are with me
yea, durable riches and righteous
ousness.-yiii, Is.
The hearing ear and the seeing
eye, the Lord hath made even
both of them.-xx, II.
The rich man is wise in his own
conceit; but the poor that hath
understanding searcheth him out.
I-28, II.
He that coverth his sins shall
not prosper: but whose confesseth
and forsaketh them shall have
mercy.-29, Is.
He that troubleth his own house
shall inherit the wind: and the
fool shall be servant to the wise
! of hearth, 20.
He taught me also, and said
unto me, Let thine heart retain
my words: keep my command
ments, and ive.-iv, 4.
| Walk in the way of good men,
and keep the paths of the right
eous. For the upright shall dwell
in the lane, and the perfect shall
remain in it. But the wicked shall
be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out
Of til, 1922.
If thou wilt receive my words
and hide my commandments with
thee; SO that thou incline thine
ear unto wisdom, and apply thine
heart to understanding: yea, if
thou criest after knowledge, and
liftest up thy voice for understand
ing; if thou seekest her as silver,
Observation-Disclosures treasures,
then shalt thou understand the
fear of the Lord, and find knowl-
edge of God. For the Lord giveth
wisdom: out of his mouth cometh
knowledge and understanding
| ii, 1-6.
Most men will proclaim every
one his own goodness: buta faith
full man who can find.-xx, 6.

FIRE INSURANCE LOSSES IN 1904
Greater Than in 1908, but Assets and
Surplus Increased

Last year was an unusually severe one
upon the fire insurance companies, due prin-
cipaiy to the heavy losses incurred on ac-
count of the conf1agrations in Baltimore,
Toronto and Rochester. The losses paid as
compared with those of the preceding year
were some $35, COO, 00a greater
The fact that all the companies" says
Superintendent Hendricks of the state in
surance department IN his annual report to
the New York state legislature, with the
exception of few small Maryland compa-
MES, were in condition to and did promptly
and fully pay for these losses clearly DEM
onstrates the wisdom of the prudent and
conservative policy followed in recent years
of accommodating sufficient and ample sur
plus funds.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
extraordinary losses would naturally result
in a'depreciation OF the assets and SURPRISES
of the various companies affected, the state
ments of those reporting to the department
show fairly good increase in both assets
and surplus in consequence of the very
securities"
At the close of the year 1904 the fire, fire
and marine and marine insurance companies
doing business in New York were possessed
OF $403,0I1,557 of admitted assets, not includ-
ing assets held abroad nor premium notes
OF mutual companies. an increase of $16.-

OBJECT TO GARFIELD.
Kansas Legislators Want "a Competent
Person" to Investigate Trusts.

The Kansas legislature passed strong res
olutions at Topeka yesterday requesting
President Roosevelt to appoint competent
person to investigate the beef trust Sena-
tor Smith of Edwards on the floor of the
Senate, referred to Commissioner Garfield
as 1.-The son of his father, who is utterly in
competent to make an intelligent report on
the beef trust
The resolution reciteS that the appoint
ment of Garfield is little less than a fake,
and that every American citizen knows it
to be fake. Garfield is soon to begin an
investigation of the Standard Oil Company
in Kansas The legislature wants that in
vestigation thorough and not perfunctory.
Mortimer F. Elliott, general solicitor for
the Standard Oil Company and attorney
Kansas, the subsidiary company of the
Standard Oil which is involved in the fed
eral inquiry about to be instituted by Com
missioner Garfield, has sent to the comm. s.
sion a statement regarding the conditions
of production and sale of oil in the Kansas
Indian territory fields.
The Prairie Oil and Gas Company asks
of Commissioner Garfield the most full and
prompt investigation possible feeling en-
tirely sure, Mr.. Elliott says that when it's
relations to the oil producers of Kansas
are fully laid bare sit will be seen that the
latter have been treated with the utmost
fairness" The statement adds that the re-
cent action of the company with reference
to it's operations in Kansas has been with
good reason.

John NJ. Shippers, the self-confessed s,ayer
of Albert Constable, now serving a term of
eight years in the Maryland penitentiary
for horse stealing, was indicted for the
murder at Elkton, Nd, yesterday 1t will
be necessary for the state to procure the
release of Shippers from the penitentiary
on habeaS corpus proceedings before he
can be arraigned. Whether Shippers Will
stand trial in the court in Elkton is not
known, there being rumor that his counsel
will ask for change of venue. Mr. Con-
stable was murdered on Gray's Hill, near
Elkton, on the night of August IS last.
John Holland and William Hops, both
colored, were indicted, tried and acquitted
of the crime at the December term of
court. Shippers, who was in jail at the
same time with the negroes, and was SEN
fenced at the same term of court for horse
stealing, was suspected after his removal
to the penitentiary, and finally confessed
that he committed the deed Shippers at
the time of the crime was employed by a
Philadelphia firm of photographers, and
after committing the murder came to Elk
ton on two occasions and stole horses.

THE CHANDLER SUICIDE.
Husband of Victim to Take Body to
Baltimore.

A dispatch from Omaha last night says:
Lieut.. Louis Chandler arrived In Omaha
this evening from Fort Mobrara, Neb., to
take charge of the body of his wife, who
shot herself at the Paxton Hotel in this
city on Friday night. The lieutenant, VINO
has been deeply affected by the circum-
stances surrounding his wife's tragic death,
explained that the reason that he did not
come to Omaha Immediately was that tho
shock completely unnerved him, and he
had been too i'll to travel. His friends
carried him off as soon as the train re ached
the station.
Lieut.. Chandler is a fine-looking man. in
telligent, cultured and refined, and is held
in high esteem by all who have made his
acquaintance. He will take the body of his
wife to Baltimore, the home of her rela-
tives, for burial, and he will also take his
wifes little son Reese to Baltimore, to be
left in the care of the childs grandmother.
Capt. kirkman, who is charged with be-
ing the cause of the estrangement between
Mrs. Chandler and her husband, according
to advices received from Port Niagara this
evening, has rendered his resignation from
the army, and is urging immediate accept
ance. He is said to be on the verge of
mental collapse, and is kept under guard
to prevent him from killing himself.
~ An army order issued here today an
nounced that the court-martial Of Capt
order and military discipline has been post
poned to May 10, in order that dispositions
may be obtained from the Philippines and
elsewhere relating to the case.
Capt. George w. Kirkman was a guest
at the Grand Hotel in this city last Sep
TENDER. He was often seen in the dining
room with handsome woman, fashionably
dressed, answering the description of MS
Bessie Chandler. They always left the no.
tel together. and although Kirkman was ON
an extended spree, the woman seemed de-
voted and careful of her escort.
Manager Langton of the Grand said last
night that he did not know Mrs. Chand.ec.
He said she did not register with Capt.
kirkman at the hotel last September.
Capt. Kirkman still owes us money"
said Manager Langton, land he did not
settle any woman's bill"
The address given by Capt. Kirkman at
the time of his arrest as his residence in
Brooklyn, No. 80 Flatbush avenue, Is a
business block. He is not known there.
Representatives of Lieut. Chandler hug
band of the suicide, are investigating the
story of the presence of Capt Kirkman
and Mrs. Chandler in a Broadway hotel last
September. The court-martial has been
temporarily adjourned for this investiga-
ton.
Early last September Capt. Kirkman and
a woman whom he introduced as Mrs
k1rkman called at Pack Brothers photo
graphic studio No. 935 Broadway, and
posed for several dozen photographs
Capt kirkman paid the bill. The woman,
known to the photographers as Mrs KIRK
man, bore a striking resemblance to The
wife of Lieut. Chandler.
