 Hartford, April 2O.-Only one of the Hartford fire insurance companies has thus far heard from it's agents in San Francisco. The Phoenix Fire repre- sentative wires that it is impossible to estimate the loss of the company.

 The total amount of insurance carried by local companies in San Francisco aggregates the enormous sum of $1s,- 6S20O0. If the losses should amount to forty per cent. of the liabilities 1t will mean that this city will give to the own CTS of insured property in the destroy cd city the sum of $7S52, 800, divided as follows: Hartford Fire, $2,310, 400; Aetna Fire $1, 49O, 400; Connecticut Fire, $1,091,- ,- National, $966, 400 Phoenix, $S96,O00; Scottish Union and National, d00,S00; | Orient, $457, 500.
 President George L, Chase of the Hartford Fire Insurance company states that from the latest advices re- ceived he is satisfied that the compa- ny's losses at San Francisco will be we'll within its surplus. Instructions have been given for the adjustment and prompt payment of all legitimate claims.

The company has outstanding insurance in San Fran cisco to the amount of $S,50O,GO0.
 The Liverpool, London X Globe h. surance company announced to-day that all San Francisco losses sustained by the company will be paid immedi~ ately upon their adjustment. The con- pany has no idea of the amount in volved.
 New York, April 20.-Fire insurance underwriters in this city tonight vari- ously estimated the insurance compa- nies' losses in San Francisco at between $15O, 900 and $2OO,OO0,00O. These esti- mates are mere guesses, based on the newspaper dispatches to the area burn ed. The property loss in the great Chi cago fire was between $165 0,000 and $170, ,OOO 900. Every effort will be made to speedily adjust the losses, and 1t was announced to-day by the representa- I lives of the various companies that prompt settlements will be made.

when men ought to be in their prime
so far as good looks go-these are
common physical characteristics of
men who pursue the great American
get-rich- quick scheme. American COM
mercial life seems not conducive to the
development Of manly beauty, neither
does the altogether ugly garb in which
civilized man clothes himself add to it.
1t is rather odd that Professor Lom-
broso, the Italian alienist, recently
made a study of American multimil-
lionaires, of whom he says there are as
many as in all the rest of the world
put together. Physically, Lombroso
finds the Yankee multimillionaire is
shorter in stature than his wife. His
forehead is square, his jaw strongly de-
veloped.. Whether the pursuit of wealth
in time caused him to look like this, or
whether he pursued wealth because he
looked like this in the first place, Lom-
broso does not say. But, at any rate,
the American millionaire is no beauty.
Lombroso sizes him up mentally as pos
sessing an intuitive sense of the utility
Of things. decision and determination.

now and then there are beautiful old
men. One of them was the great
Goethe, who lived to the age of eighty
three, and it was said of him that as
he lay in his coffin he looked like a
beautiful youth. Mark Twain, the most
beloved man in all the world, at the
age of seventy has face and head that

prepares for the o'clock drive in
costume different each day from what
she wore on the afternoon preceding,
and as she floats airily down the piazza
to her waiting victoria or trap she feels
by the admiring glances cast in her
direction that life is at last worth
while.
The woman with children is another
type. She is either openly neglectful OF
them in a Ianguid sort of way or else
she is intensely interested in cultivat-
ing their brains to the bursting point
or in building up their bodies by the
aids Of all the latest educated" foods
and educative fads..
Her conversation sounds like a cul-
ture magazine. She goes out walking
with little Frances. aged seven, and
tells you proudly on her return that
little Frances has discovered five new
kinds of birds, the names and descrip-
tions of which she compels the UNI
fortunate Frances to write down in
her bird book" |'' 20

YOUTHFUL BYRON

The professor further says-most I'M
kindest cut of all-that the American
millionaire is noted for his lack of Gull
ture and, what is more, he doesn't
want to be cultured.
If that is what our American men of
business are like, how can we expect
manly beauty to spring from such a
soil? Unfortunate for the physical flu
ture of the American race is the COM
mon belief that it does not matter
what man looks like or even whether
he is deformed just so he has money,
heaps of almighty dollars. No matter
how coarse and low bred his coun-
tenance, how bad his morals or how
vulgar his manners, he thinks, and
American women, too, often sustain
him in the belief, that he has the right
to marry the fairest, most refined wo-
man in the land--if he has plenty of
money. So long as this opinion pre-
walls just so long will the physically
beautiful and perfect American fail to
appear. Look at one of those ugly
punches of athletes particularly those

Illness and droll humor constitute an

our noted financiers some specimens
whose manly. beauty reflects glory upon
the sex. 1 looked for them in every
spot where masculine handsomeness
might blush unseen and-well!
Our American, commercial men are

them are manicured every day, and

to think the American race is improy-
ing in physical appearance!
1t is pity we sneer at good looks
among men. We don't half believe
what we say even while we sheer. We
know better. 1t does matter how
man looks. The ancient Greeks knew
that physical comeliness and perfec-
tion were quite as important in man
as in woman. We don't know every
thing in America, after all, and mas
culine beauty cult ought to be started.
I found one face ancient Greeks
would have delighted in, but he who
wore it is dead, and he was not an
American. He was German, Achi,a
Won Arnim, poet and novelist, who died
in 1881. He was the husband of that
Bettina, who is supposed to have writ
ten such a stack of love letters -
Goethe. Another ideally beautiful
masculine face is that of the youthful
Byron. If amp American gentleman TO-
day can compare with these in manly
beauty let him step forward and be
