ACTORS AS pLAYwRIGHTs.

There is a general impression that
actors, at least modern actors, do not
write good plays although William
Gillette is striking exception. 1t is
true that actor -playwrights are some
what prone to sacrifice everything else
to highly theatric effects and that their
plays are likely to be superficial. "Cou-
sin Louisa" by Frederick Paulding
makes no pretensions except to be
amusing, and that II certainly Is. Clev-
erly and good -naturedly II .satirizes the
common tendency to sacrifice almost
everything for money: it has real char
acters and succession of incidents of
the Eind that player-folk call bust
ness, that are original and joyously
humorous. Not in long time have /
more thoroughly enjoyed a scene than
that in which Cousin Louisa and her
first husband make love to each other.

political wrongdoings an example of the utter
hollowness OF the American political system and
the unsoundness OF our public institutions If we

the unsavory revelations in the Ceyon pearl fish

Bishop Potter explains that the Ceylon fish

TO STRENGTHEN FIRE INSURANCE.

AS a result of the inability of some of the fire
insurance companies, and the disnclnation OF
others, to pay their just losses in this city the
indications are that eventually fire insurance will
be put on a safer, basis than heretofore.
The whole world with the San Francisco situa-
ton before it. is investigating the institution
Of fire insurance This is true not only of individ-
uals and corporations, but of States and nations.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah have already
Instituted Investigations. Emperor William Of
Germany is known to have agents at work consid-
ering the problems involved And now comes the
report that Emperor Franz Josef of Austria Hun
gary is interesting himself in the situation 1t is
known that he has secured from the acting Aus
trian Consul of this city full account of the dis
aster, statement of the course pursued by the
Austrian insurance companies and digest of the
legal aspect Of the situation Austria is evidently
preparing to follow the course of Germany in as
certaining the real status of fire insurance
Since the fire evidences of the weaknesssof the
whole system of insurance are continually being
brought to tie fore. The action of the European
reinsurance companies, for example, in notifying
the ordinary insurance companies that no fire
losses due directly or indirectly" to earthquake
to be paid shows that the reinsurance practced
by ordinary insurance companies to protect them
selves in time OF great loss comes to nothing. BY
tie simple adoption of a resolution twenty rein
surance companies apparently 1atter themselves
that they have shifted all responsibility for the
losses due to the fire. Reinsurance one OF the most
important features of the insurance business thus
gives itself blow from which the probabilities
are that it will never recover. That action shows
ordinary insurance companies the weakness of this
branch OF the system. They will probably in fll-
ture carry their own risks, and, incidentally, exer-
else greater care in underwriting.
The weakness OF reinsurance is but one of the
many developed The fact that similar fire in
any one Of the large cities of the world would as
general thing have wiped out all of the surplus all
OF the fire and half of the capital stock of
all the companies affected further emphasizes the
weakness OF the system. The world is going to
have fire insurance; fire insurance has become
commercial necessity. But business world will
insist that the institution be placed on sane busi-
ness basis and not continue SO undependable that
single FIRE can bring into question the value of poll
cies held in every important city of the globe To
this end the best ability that be had, as indi-
Gated by reports from Germany from Austria and
from the several States of the Union, is at work

ANOTHER CHARM OFF CALIFORNIA.

READING-RooM sToRIEs.

large reference library in Philadelphia
was asked by a woman caller for a
book on geology. She sat and read all
day. The next day she called for a
work on botany. For four successive
days she read history. astronomy, es-
says and photography. On the last day
she returned the book and confided to
the man in charge that she did not
know what to read during the next
week.
What is the object of your reading -
he inquired.
Well. it's this way" said the woman.
II wasn't well educated, and l don't

hesitated and looked at him wistfully.
Seeing sympathy in his eyes. she pro-
ceeded: II have been afraid for some
time that l was losing my husbands s
love. l know my conversation isn't in

asked her listener.

brarian was confronted by a brisk

asked.
The attendant brought out several
volumes on the subject.
"Oh, dear, those are too large 1
haven't got time to read those big
books. Haven't you something shorter

The man showed her the article on
Buddhism in the encyclopedia.
