HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First That Piled For
Hire In Grent Britnin.

Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first ad-
vertisement of the first steamer that
piled for hire in Great PARLIAMENTARY,
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the ad-
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier Of
1912:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helcns-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power Of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state Of the tide and to leave GreenOck
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
in the morning to suit the tide. The
elegance, comfort, safety and speed
Of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the appreciation of the public,
and the proprietor Is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present 4 shillings for the best cabin
and 3 shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing Is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed about the vessel"

HARTFORD co. ADDS TO SURPLUS
Issues Stock at Less Than Half the Selling
Price Before San Francisco Fire.

tItCC IbCloIS fhCs
The market value OF shares Of stock in
nearly all the fire insurance companies
has deprecated greatly since the San Fran
cisco oonflagration.
The Hartford Fire Insurance Company
is one which has suffered. Before the fire
its stock was selling as high as 81, 200 a
share, and 1t was hare to pick much Of it
up even at that price. The announcement
was made yesterday that the company is
issuing now 1900 new 500 par value shares
at 500. This is to be taken up by the present
stockholders. 1t is understood that officers
of the company consulted with bankers
in this city and tried to get 600 for the new
stock.
The capital Of the company has been
a, $50 600. II will now become s 1000, 600,
and the premium Of $500 per share will
add So, 900, 900 to the net surplus OF the COM
paDy. The surplus now Is more than
So, O6o, 900. The Hartford's officers say that
sufficient information is at hand to warrant
the statement that the net claims against
the Hartford at San Francisco will not
exceed IS, $50, 900. II the more conserva-
tive estimates Of salvage claimed by, many
companies prove to be correct, the loss to
the Hartford will be reduced 70 5000, 900;
The Hartford company did one of the
largest fire insurance businesses of any
u in this country, and the action
of its directors will, it is expected, enable
it to retain its position in the front rank.

MAILS DEFEAT POLICE SIEGE
Postman Carries Food and Water to
 Woman in Fortified House.

Jacksonville, H., Feb. 24.-The United States malls were used to de- liver food and water to Miss Belle Bishcp, who since Sunday has been hesieged by the police in the fashion able rooming house of which she is proprietor Miss Bishop still stands guard, with the doors and windows nailed shut, and threatens to shoot down the first officer who enters.
 On the second day of the siege the drinking water in the house gave out, and Attorney William H. Hargrove at- tempted to deliver water to his client. The police interfered, and the at tcrney took out warrant charging assault and had a deputy sheriff serve it, thus precipitating a clash between city and county authorities. The as sault case went over until April and the attorney asked an injunction, hut failed to get it and finally resorted to the mails.
 Miss Bishop offers to surrender and appear in court if the police will promise not to enter the upper rooms of the house. It is rumored that the daughter of banker of a near by town is an occupant of the place.
