Poor Peoples Exposition.

Consul Hurst of Piauen places in the
same category with the incredibly small
compensation received for making lace by
hand the exhibits at a house industry expo
sition recently opened in Berlin. OF it he
writes that everything one naturally con-
meets with great fair is strikingly abb
sent. The products of tenement and sweat
shop, small piecework evolved by the needy,
are laid bare to the public. Each exhibit Is
ticketed, setting forth the pay for piece,
time employed in making and the profit per
hour. If the object itself does not particu-
larly attract the attention of the visitor
the descriptive tag certainly appeals to him.
A few examples may be given: A boys
suit of clothes, three pieces, made for about
II cents; artistic wooden crucifixes, carved
at less than cents an hour; IA toy
menagerie animals for II cents; putting up
1000 needles for less than / cent for the lot;
mounting hooks and eyes on 800 cards with
"A pairs on each. altogether II $50 pieces for
% cents, and an extreme case Is that of
bit of lace from Plauen worked at the rate
of about one-quarter of a cent an hour
Progress and poverty are nowhere more alb
ruptly contrasted than In this pitiful dis
play. Expressions of anna zement and SYM
pathy, manifested by the highest classes of
society, are echoed throughout the German
press.

TROOPERSANDGUN Frs
DARING AND SKILLFUL EXHIBI-
TON AT FORT MYER.

Fort Myers troopers yesterday afternoon
put up the best drill of the season for the
benefit of the enlisted mems fund, which is
used each year in reitting the gymnasium
and for the necessary expenses of the base
ball team and for other athletic sports. 1t
was an excellent exhibition for very
worthy cause, but the officers, with mis-
placed modesty had failed to give It all
the publicity that the event deserved, and
this. combined with very bad day. had
kept down the attendance, so that although
there was a very fair return the results
were not all they should have been, and 1t
is possible that the special drill may be re-
peated little later in the season, with more
of the element of publicity and promo
ton behind it.
The exhibition was opened yesterday with
a saddle drill of twenty-five minutes by G
Troop, Capt. Corcoran: Troop HI Capt.
Phillips, and Capt. Whitmans Troop Z,
drilled by Lieut.. BAH, gave a music ride
and saber exercise to music without the
word of command. Troop Z wound up with
a charge in line, with saberS. and then what
is always a popular feature of the drills,
Cossack charge, standing on their saddles
and letting off their six shooters like lot
of cowpunchers shooting up town.
The monkey drill" the bareback ex-
ercse is termed, was by Troop T, COM
manded by Capt. Preston. The exhibition
yesterday was about as near the limit of
India rubber equestrianism as men could
well come. There was leaping of hurdles.
riding double vaulting horses and pyramid
work. But the climax of the performance
was when the troopers, piled up three high,
ten men on four horses; driven abreast. and
jumped the hurdles in this formation.
The battery driving was of the "whoop-
Ia order, and there was something doing
every minute of the twenty that the guns
were in the hall. The Sd Battery. Capt.
Millar. Lieut.. Keane in charge, and the 4th
Battery. Capt. Foote,. Lieut.. Mcdonald in
charge, were the two on exhibition. They
gave exhibitions of driving at full speed in
the narrow hall and turning in less than
the length of the team; of driving break
neck between painted stakes where there
was not four inches TO spare on either side;
or crossing and recrossing each others trail
at full speed, while the wheels of the guns
skidded and it looked as though there must
De a mixup and sudden death for half of
the men and horses engaged. But the whole
passed OH without accident, and the after
noon wound up with the men hot, but hap

Gentlemen.
AT this writing it may be as
sumed that the City Of San Fran

if this is the case, the Continental
may have loss of two and one
half millions of dollars ($2 $780,
600.
The loss-Paying ability of fire
Insurance company is measured by
its net assets; that is. the Capital
and net Surplus. The Reinsurance
Reserve and other liability items
be used for the payment Of the San
Francisco losses.
The Continental's net assets
are i excsss of ten million dollars
($Io, 900, ,ooo;) therefore, after
paying even two and one. half mil
lion dollars, our net assets will be
seven and one half million dollars
and our gross assets will be fifteen
million dollars.
Again the Continental operates
under the New York Safety Fund
Law, and the New York Superin
tendent of Insurance holds, for the
benefits Of policy-holders not in
volved in conhagration, Six Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.
Our San Francisco business i:
small compared with that of Other
companies, and if our losses are
two and one-half million dollars,
many less fortunate companies will
be bankrupted. We dislike to make
this statement, but it is due TO you
as our Agents, that we should.
