Insurance Men Meet
New York, May 5.-The Tribune
today says: Representatives of both
foreign and American fire insurance
companies who were in the city yes
terday discussed action to be taken
to effect compromise in the adjustment
OF losses by the San Francisco fire.
The discussion was largely upon the
question as to the attitude the ad.
)usters of companies should be in.
structed to take in regard to the dis.
puted questions. The great companies
express a strong purpose to be not
only just, but generous in cases of
doubt, with the victims of the fire.
but they all evidently feel what was
expressed by the president Of a large
American company, who said:
THE adjusters for this company will
not be allowed to waive the conditions
OF the policies, nor the conditions and
restrictions of it's charter. We have
no more right to pay a loss occasion
ed by earthquake than we have to paw
loss of life. We are not an earth.
quake insurance company, nor a life
insurance company"
Because of exemption from loss by
earthquake damage, we'll informed in.
surance men estimated yesterday that
the companies would ultimately nay
only from 60 to rs per cent Of the
aggregate amount at risk.
An important omission was made
in the transmission Of a dispatch from
London last night giving the text of
the joint dispatch sent to Oakland.
CAL, yesterday as result of the
meeting of the representatives Of sew.
eral British insurance companies. The
message should have read:
Under any circumstances the Brit.
ish officers will only pay the losses
for which they are legally liable, since
to go beyond their contracts would
be illegal. They cannot recognize anv
liability for damage by earthquake
where no fire ensued nor for damage
by fire to partly fallen buildings or
fallen buildings. nor for damages to|
buildings pulled down or destroyed
by order of the San Francisco author
tiles"

REAL NEGRO VooDoo DANCE
Weird Ceremonial That Attracts Neo.
roes Of Florida and Georuia

"e'TO ceremonial That Attracts Ne0.
roes Of Florida and Georgia
In certain parts of the South voodoo
superstitions still exist and lead, es.
peclally at Christmas, to quaint rites
that have a marked suggestion of saw.
agery.
One OF these ceremonials may be
witnessed in the swamp and forest
LANDS of Florida and Georgia. It is an
parently patomimic representation
OF human resistance to death, or of
deaths attack upon a community. It
takes place in the cabin that contains
the largest room, as all the negroes
in the community are generally on
hand as witnesses.
The spectators seat themselves
around the side walls, leaving an open
space for the performers in the cen.
ter of the room.
All but one Of the performers remain
in the kitchen until ready for their en-.
trance. At the wall opposite the kit.
chen door a small table is placed
and there an elderly negress, the mis-.
tress OF ceremonies, seats herself.
Solemnly she begins beating time
ON the table with her small sticks,
while the other negroes in the room
sing doleful hymns. In the midst Of
this three loud raps sound on the kit.
chen door. The singing abruptly ceas
cs, and the audience manifests signs
OF terror. The raps sound again, fol.
lowed by the sound of scuhfle.
Then the presiding negress arises,
takes lighted pine knot from the fire,
and starts slow. whirling dance,
chanting some weird incarnation.
| The kitchen door is burst open and
three men with blankets around their
shoulders, enter. AS the dancing neg
ress moves toward them, waving her
torch and chanting her prayer or
hymn, they sink before her to the
floor.
The melancholy droning and the
dance go on, but are again Interrupt
ted by raps. This time a single man
enters, having black sack over his
head and Carrying long bone in his
hand.
This entrance causes genuine con.
nation. AL the negroes in the room
seem frenzied with fear and hurldle to-
gether along the walls. This is death
himself and should he touch any Of
those present with the bone that un.
fortunate person would die before the
next Christmas.
As general thing, however. the
man impersonating death is kind.
hearted, and manages to trip and fall
before he reaches any of the spectat.
ors. Instantly the presiding genius
springs to her table. begins a vigorous
tattoo of triumph. and the entire com.
pany break into a wild hallelujah
chorus.
The power of death thus broken, the
impersonator removes the black sack
from his head. and the assembling
plunges into kind of prayer and ex.
pcrience meeting, in which chants
ana voOdoo dances have their place,

San Francisco, May 5.-A fire which
threatened the destruction of the gen
eral hospital a. the Presidio, in which
were over 700 patients, broke out al
AIS o'clock this morning in the hos
pital laundry. A general alarm was
sounded, and besides the regular posi-
fire organization, hundreds of soldiers
turned out. The laundry building and
contents were totally destroyed, but
by tremendous efforts the fire was con
fined to that building and did not
reach the hospital buildings, only d
few yards away.
The medical department of the reg
ular army has been putting into prac
tice the experiences gained in the
camps established on the Atlantic
coast during the Spanish-American
war OF 1898. AS part of the general
system of army relief there has been
established on a level lawn south OF
the music stand in Golden Gate par,
a complete regimental field hospital
probably the first that has ever been
erected in this city.

TO GIVE InTELLECTUhL fREAT
Lewistown Has An Opportunity to Secure Great
est Speakers in the Country for a Ser

Not only Is their possibility, bu
a very strong probability, that Lewis
town will be included with six othel
Montana cities in lecture course now
being arranged for the next fall anG
winter months and should negotiat
ions succeed the eight men who will
appear before Fergus county audien
ces at Culver's opera house are among
the following:

Toilette, DR.. Gunsaulus, Rabbi Emil
G. Hirsch, Jacob Riis, Sam Walter
Foss, John Watson Clan MacLaren)
Prof. J. c. Monaghan, Father Vaughan
Alfred w. Martin, ten men who are
today included as among the leading
lecturers of the world.
One Of Six Cities.
Leading men and women of the cit.
les of Butte, Helena, Bozeman, Bill
lings, Great Falls and Dillon, under
the leadership of Pro. Condor, super
intendent of schools of Helena, are
now figuring on the proposition and
If six cities can each raise a guarantee
of from $1,000 to Notwithstanding to
local expenses the contracts with
eight of the above named men will
be signed.
The price of some of these men,
Mr.. Bryan and others, is $3.50 a night
and travelling expenses, and it is cal.
culated that for Lewistown to join the
other cities in the arrangement will
require a guarantee of not less than
$4,000, the local expenses in each case
being approximately SIS.
Chance to Subscribe.
The local people negotiating on the
subject are the Homeworkers of the
Presbyterian church and within day
or 80 committee of ladies and gentle.
men vii undertake the solicitation Of
this guarantee. the plan being to sell
400 tickets at S. each, the ticket to
entitle the holder to one seat at each
lecture, or on basis of eight lectures,
about Coo each, which is certainly a
bargain-counter price for hearing such
men as above named.
The sale of these IS tickets will be
limited to 400 and after that no tick
cts will be sold until few days be-
fore each lecture when regular tick.
ets-good for that night only-will be
placed on sale.
AS the price of a single ticket to
hear William Jennings Bryan will
probably be IS and certainly not less
than 81, and the price of a single tick
ct to the other lectures will be from
81 to 81, the advantage of joining in
the guarantee is considerable in price
and in addition, those on the guaran-
tee list will have preference in the
choice of seats.
If Mr.. Bryan, Senator LaF'ollette
or DR.. Gunsaulus come to Lewistown
