month. Since she became a member OF
the school board last August she has
done much for the school, but her lat
est effort is by far the most difficult
of all. ~. e..
A large addition to the school was re-
gently built, due considerably to her
zeal, and when it was completed she
furnished one of the rooms as a dining
room for the children. There are. six
large tables, that will accommodate
twelve each, and a library is near by,

to make the time pass pleasantly Sew
eral handsome pictures have been hung
on the walls, making the room a cozy
place. -
But there were several other rooms
shat needed pictures. Mrs. Mackay
thought it would be better to help the
children earn them than for her to give
them; so she has planned the entertain
ment and has arranged for several spe'
cial features, among them the first act
from liking Lear to be given by
some of the high school pupils. Re
hearsals will be superintendent by Mrs.
Mackay and some of them will be held
at Harbor Hill.
Mrs. Mackay will get costumes and
some scenery from New York and will
bear all the expense.

The insurance situation there has
been very peculiar. For years the Pa.
cifc coast has been the one section of
the country, and the only one, which
could be depended upon for a steady
profit, year in and year out. And San
Francisco has been the best proft-prro-
Queer of the coast. Its loss ratio for
a period Of years has been the lowest,
less than 25 per cent, of any large city
In the country, in spite Of the unusual
proportion of frame construction.
Wednesdays losses, however, will more
than wipe out all the profit for the last
fifty years, just as the companies, fig
uring interest, will never get even on
Chicago business for the losses in the
great fire there.
AS result Of this unusually favor
able. experience rates were low in San
Francisco and all the companies wrote
very iberally. On the other hand, the
proportion Of insurance to value. was
unusually small, partly because Of the
over-confidence resulting from the long
immunity from heavy losses, and also
because there is no reinsurance clause
in use there, as is the rule in other
large cities, requiring the owner to
carry certain proportion Of insurance
to value. IL = r.
An example of the custom on the
coast was furnished by the recent loss
on the fireproof Chronicle building last
summer, when the tower was set on
fire by a skyrocket. The value was
about 100000 and only $4,000. Of In
gurance was carried, just sufficient to
cover any small losses that might be
started in the rooms, depending upon
the freproof construction to prevent
any serious damage. This, however,
overlooked the confa grafton hazard, as
the experience on freproof buildings at
Baltimore was that their losses ran
from 10 to 70 per cent.

 He began by sayiyng that the growth of this republic was the wonder of the world. In a hundred years it has grown from an English colony into a vast world power, having a popula- ton of 80.000.000. There are persons now living who will look out upon a republic of 3O0,0OO,000. It is the richest nation under the sun. Our wealth IS growing at the rate of $S,OOO.OO0 a day. Our industrial age, moreover, IS in its infancy. Before us not behind territory vast enough and rich enough to support a thousand million men.
