Neal Vance There With the Goods

The friends of Neal Vance, who is pitching for Temple in the Texas league, will be gratified to learn that he IS meeting with success. He pitched the game at Fort Worth a few days ago, and concerning the game the Fort Worth Star among other things printed the following:
 Everything was Vance yesterday and DY.far too much Vance.

He had steam and curves galore and after the Panther $ had been batting at Simpsonc slow underhanded curves they were unable to touch him.
 In the first inning the Partners got two hits, which were good for two runs, and in the third they got an-

other. These were the only hits for the home team during the game for Vance went in and then It was all off. Only one hit was scored of of Vance and that was by Carlin in the ninth inning
 Among other things, Mondays game shows that Vance, the smiling; Vance the kid; Vance the gum chewer; is the speedlest pitcher in the league.
 The Fort Worth Telegram in speaking of the same game said;
 When in the third inning, with the score to ip favor of Fort Worth, Simpson was taken from, the box ny Temple and Vance put in his place, the mettle of the youngest pitcher in the Texas League was given thor ough chance to make good and dld so- Vance pulling his team out of the predicament bodily, striking out six men. and allowing only one poor little hit. The final score was five to thre, in favor of the Boil Weeyils.
 Vance handled the spit ball. Three of them were wild, as this char acter of pitching must always dey. elop, tor not pitcher on the diamond today can with accuracy foretell the course of such ball after it leaves his fingers.
 This was Neale's fourteenth game since the season opened, ten Of which he won.

Ii is also reported that the crop aids far to ripen gradually, and rtgt send the bulk of t1le en, tire crop into the shipments of a very few days or two or three weeks which IS the most 1mpor- tant. This industr@ now ranks second to cotton. aad for that reason | big yield means much To the people of the state al -arge and brings in d great reeenue at this time q year, whseh was en- tirely unknown few #ears ago.
 The matter of experimenting with the shipping of peaches from ArkazAsas to European ports y means of cold storage and uew inventions will be continued this year. There are very many who now believe that this stub- born question is on the point of practical solution. Once this question Is solved. those in a po- sition to know state that t will open d new field for Arkansas growers, and with her early va- rieties will make il possible for her to supply the European trade far ahead of all competitors and add hundreds of thousands of dollars to her present revenue of this source.
 It is reported that no less per sonage than Sir Thomas Lipton is interesting himself ID these ex- periments. and is using or will use Arkansas peaches for the purpose. His agents insist that by means of new methods the transatlantic transportation Of fruit will be accomplished this year, and not only King Edward and other members of the royal family be offered Elbertas on their palace tables, but some of the big fruit shops of both Lon don and Paris will offer Arkan- sas peaches for sale.

LIFE INSURANCE.


Ata Early atruEEtea ana UcwerEFn In
This Couafry.
The origin OF insurance in this coun-
Try dates from 1852 and had its Grst
beginning IN Philadelphia.
The fist company was the philadel-
phia contributionship For the Insur-
ance Of Houses From Losses by Fire,
and its insignia was four clasped hands.
which was its house badge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania aud New Jersey on old
time houses. The company survived
till 1547. In 1892 The arst life lnsur.
ance company was founded In the
same city. II was called the Universal
Tontine. The next year similar COM
panies were started In Boston and In
New York. Its avowed aim was "for
the purpose OF raising fund upon lives
TO be applied to charitable and other
uses" Its subscription books were
opened on March 90 and Eve general
agents were appointed
Some business was done during the
summer but in November OF that year
a general meeting Of the subscribers
was called, and the idea OF a general
Insurance company was suggested and
met with approval The proposition
was referred 20 committee. aud at an
adjourned meeting held at the state
house on Nov. u It was resolved that
"the Universal Tontlne association be
and is hereby changed from its original
object and converted into a society TO
be called the Insurance Company OF
North AmcricG." It's first policy was
issued to John Maxwsd Nesbitt its
president. for $5,333.33 1t wrote both
fire and life insurance, but paid aiten-
ton chiefly TO the former and gradual
ly dropped life Insurance altogether.
In January, 1904, it considered the
policy OF insuring persons against cap
ture by the Algerians and insured Cap
tain John Collet "on his person against
Algerians and other Barbary corsalrs
in a voyage from Philadelphia to Lon
don in the ship George Barclay, him
self master, valuing himself at $4,000"
Tho premium charged was . per cent.
Two similar policies were issued, but
the premium was increased to 5 per
cent. Two similar policies wero Is
sued, approved. one on the life of John
Holker, from June 9 to Sept 10. for
$4,000 at IL per cent premium. and
one ON the life OF Albert Briois de Beau
mez, for eighteen calendar months. In
the sum of $4,000. The demand for
insurance on life was light, and the
business, which was finally abandoned
by the first company. was not revived
until 1890. when Hartford men took It
mp and kept 1t running till II gained
tho great prosperity Of modern times.
