INSURANCE OF OLDEN TINE

At the October meeting of the In.
surance Society of New York Morris
P. Stevens, lecturer on insurance in
the University of New York, gave an
interesting review of the earliest
forms of insurance. Life insurance
lays claim to perhaps greater an.
tiquity than marine insurance.
IN a paper written By NJ. n. Adler
before the Institute of Actuaries in
1864 he mentions a Latin inscription
on a marble slab found at Lanuvium,
an ancient town in Latium, a short
distance from Rome, bearing date dur
ing the reign of Emperor Hadrian,
a. d. 1l7-l2S, which inscription shows
that a club had been formed osten-
sibly for the worship of Diana, in real

Marine insurance was a regular
business during the Roman empire,

carsoes for which a varied rate of in.

First sIaht Of Pixies Peak.

Writing from Goodnight, Texas, to
the Colorado Springs Gazette, Donald
Hewitt says:
Pike first saw the grand peak" or
great snow mountain" as he invari-
ably calls 1t, at o'clock on the after
noon of November 15, 1906. He was
then marching. along the Arkansas
river half dozen miles or less below
tho point at which the Purgatory or
Las Animas river flows into the Ar
kansas. This is not far from the cen
te;i of Bent county, Colorado. 1t is
exactly eighty miles in an air line from
Pueblo and 120 miles from the peak. A
study of Pixies journal with a good
map at hand will determine the po-
siticn at that time with considerable
accuracy. The stages of his journey
or the days preceding November 18th
can be easily followed The two dry
creeks, and very high points OF rocks"
passed early in the morning of the 18th
are to be found on the map. Nor is
there the slightest doubt that "the
fork discovered before evening on the
south side bearing S. 20 degrees W., is
the Purgatory or Las Animas river.
So far as l know no one has yet at
tempted to locate the hill to which
Pike refers when he says: when our
email party arrived on the hill. they
with one accord gave three cheers to
the Mexican mountains Here is a
problem to be worked out by some
good citizen of Las Animas.

HORSE IS AN OLD HAND.
Stole a Watch, Chain, and Medal, but
Restitution Was Forced.

Hamilton, Ont.-The following is
Gospel truth. Three fellows were
walking down Jackson street the 9TH
er day when horse, which was stand
ing at the sidewalk, did a most curl
Gus thing.
When the three were opposite. the
beast leaned over and snatched
watch chain out of the near mans
pocket and apparently ate it.
They made spring for the horses
bit and managed after a struggle to
regain the treasure.
The chain was in three pieces. but
the brute was soon made to give these
up.
1t was then discovered that medal.
which had been attached to the chain.
was missing
After a little more resistance they
succeeded in extracting the battered
medal.
The horse was genuinely amused, or
seemed to be, throughout this extraor-
dinary game.
The watch was quite useless and
the young men fear the animal must
be an "old hand"

SAYS CHARLIE ROSS LIVES.
Galveston Police Know Man Who
Knows All About II.

Galveston. Tex-The police depart
ment here has located a man believed
to be Joseph l.. Douglas, one of the
abductors of Charlie Ross in July,
1874. This man has been a resident
of this city for many years. He is
known as Joseph Likens. but he ad.
mits that it is not his real name
1t has never been proven that Doug
las was dead. although it was claimed
he was wounded at the time his COM
rade in the abduction. William Mosh.
er, was killed while robbing house
in Brooklyn.
Likens has said that he could tell
something about Charlie Ross in ten
words, but he fears to do so. He says
that Ross is still living.
Likens made his appearance here
about the time young man named
Vonhodge claimed to be the long lost
boy. The police are confident that he
was associated in the Ross kidnapping
and they believe he will some day con.
fess. 1t is known that he was in Phil
adelphia about the time of the abduc-
tion.
