First Church Organ.

April 10 is a memorable date for
ecclesiastical musicians, who
claim that on this day in 7S7 King
Pepin placed the first organ
which he had procured from the
Byzantine emperor - in the
Church of st. Cornelius. at Com
piegne It was a pneumatic or
gan, with leaden pipes, played by
an Italian priest, who had taken
lessons at ConstantinopIe. Bui
about that time "the king Of in
struments" was quite familiar TO
our Saxon ancestors. They bred
some clever organ-builders, not
ably the devil-daunting st. Dun
stan, who erected an organ "with
brass pipes" made BY himself at
Malmesbury Abbey, and present
ed other churches or converts
with similar iHstTszssnts.-West

most exquisiteiy carved. But
probably the most costly chair In
the world is one OF the many treas
ures Of the shah of Persia. tis Of
solid gold-thickly incrusted with
diamonds, rubies, pearls and sap

Minister are two arm-chairs which

one of which was his favOrite seat
when at Downing street.
A short time ago a romantic
story was told in the French pa
pers of two dilapidated arm
chairs which were sold among the
effects Of a Nine. Borg, widow,
who died at Dellys. an Algerian
seaport town. The widow was re
puted TO be rich, but thorough
search OF her rooms failed TO dis
close any Of her hoardings, and II
was assumed by her relatives that
she had died practically penniless.
Not long after the sale Of her
furniture. however. il was OBJ
served that the purchaser of the
chairs, a Spanish steyedOre named
Perez, ceased TO work. began TO
walk about in fine clothes, TO pur-
chase land and houses and gener-

aroused, Perez was arrested, and
now stands accused Of having ap-

in the dilapidated arm-chairs.

How Balloons Dispose Of the Aged.
I'm certain parts Of South Al
rica,r said Thomas AsbaldistOne
Of Johannesburg, there are
baboons which carry into prac-
tical operation the doctrines OF
DIR. 0sler. These simians have no
earthly use for the aged of their
own tribes and when one Of their
kind gets too old TO help himself
the rest Ostracize him completely,
neither tolerating his society nor
helping him TO sustain life. Never
was there an exhibition Of such
callous and cold bloOded indiffer-
ence as these 'babyans' show to
their helpless old. One of our
scientific men who had made a
study of this phase of their life
told me that in this treatment OF
the aged by the balloons the the

that there need be no further

UNITE TO COLLECT POLICIES.
Insured of Six Companies Form Loose

The policy holders of six insurance
companies met at 911 Laguna street
yesterday afternoon and decided to
stand together for the full payment of
their policies. less such slight damage
reductions on account of the earth
quake as shall be considered fair. They
did not incorporate, as did the insured
of the Traders Insurance Company of
Chicago, but they agreed to give their
policies to certain attorneys for eoilec-
tion at uniform rates. The policy hold-
ers of the Gernania, Franklin of PhiIa-
delphia, Transatlantic, Sun and Penn
sylyania insurance companies were
represented at the meeting.
Tomorrow afternoon the insured of
the fourteen companies that are pro-
tected by strict earthquake clauses in
the policies they have issued will meet
at Oil Laguna street for the purpose of
organization. Several prominent at
torneys have given it as their opinion
that the earthquake was such a re-
mote cause as not to invalidate the pol
icies. The holders viii recite at this
meeting the troubles they have had in
attempting to collect, and then decide
upon definite plan of action for the
future.

GEARY Street
LINE To START
Power House Machinery
Will Be Put in Oper-
alton To-Day.

The machinery of the Geary-street
power-house will be started tomorrow,
and within five days the line will be in
operation said A. d. Shepard, vice
president of the company. yesterday.
The road could have been run ear
lier, but twas only late yesterday aft
ernoon that the Board of Public Works
granted permission to use the big chin
ney in the power-house, corner of Geary
and Buchanan streets. This chimney
was originally 130 feet high, but the
earthquake gave it such jar that the
company was compelled to take down
about SO feet of it. The company then
asked for permit to put it into use,
but this was refused, because the city
officials did not deem it safe. The
company took down about 20 feet more,
with the result that it can now be used.
The chimney was built when coal was
used, for fuel, but now that oil is used
its present height is fully adequate.
So today the fires will be lighted in
the big furnace. and the machinery,
which has not turned since the morn
ing of the 18th, will be set running
superintendent Grimes says that the
slot in the middle of the roadbed is in
almost perfect condition, excepting in
places between Kearny and Van Ness
avenue. Here it was badly kinked in a
few places by the fire. This section of
the slot will be torn up and replaced
with new material. 1t will only take
about four days to do this part of the
work
The cable is in as good condition as it
was before the fire. 1t was not dam
aged in any way by the fire. The turn
table at the intersection of Geary,
Kearny and Market streets was not
damaged.

READY To MOVE
AGAINST TRADERS
Eleven Directors Adopt
Articles for Policy
Holders.
Have Power. to Collect
Money Any Way
They Are Able.

The board of directors of the new
corporation authorized by the policy
holders of the defunct Traders lnsur-
ance Company at their meeting last
Monday met yesterday morning, adopt
ed articles of Incorporation and re-
solved to send to Sacramento immedi-
lecting the policies of the insured and
bringing about settlement through
the receiver or the courts will be begun
at once.
Traders Policy Holders Company,
which is the name of the new organ
ization, may receive for collection,
purchase or otherwise acquire any and
the Traders Insurance Company of
Chicago, its officers, directors and
stockholders, arising under policies or
contracts of insurance heretofore made
by the Traders Company. 1t may take
any and all means, by legal action or
otherwise, and may do any acts or
things necessary or proper TO the en-
foreement and collection of such claims
The place of business of the new COR
.poration is San Francisco, its life is to
be fifty years, and it's directors are to
number eleven.
The capital stock of the Traders
Policy Holders Company is $4,000. 1t
is divided into 25,00u shares. each with
a par value of 81. Eleven shares, one
ors, have already been subscribed. The
directors are w. B. Cope, j. H. Bennett,
II. G. w Dinkelspiel, c. III. Garoutte,
Marshall Hale, w. F. Humphrey, Walter
II. Linforth, w. H. Metson, John s.
Partridge, w. P. PIummer and Joseph
S. Tobin.
The articles of Incorporation have not
been fully completed, for they must be
modelled to give the directors power
under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Marshall Hale, acting as chairman of
the meeting of the directors, appointed
Attorneys W. II. Metson and w. F.
Humphrey to straighten out the arti-
cies as required. They will then be
signed and the charter sent for imnle-
diately afterward. The board will
probably be ready to begin its work by
Monday of next week.
While the articles as adopted give
the corporation power to obtain poll
cies by almost any means, it is not the
intention to purchase policies nor to do
anything with them. The policies of
all policy-holders who wish to become
members of the corporation will be
gathered up and collected at the best
possible figure. The -agents of the
Traders have now no authority to pay
or make any kind of settlement and
collection Will be made through the Illi-
nois courts. meeting of the body of
Traders policy holders will be held
next week and the individuals who
wish to become members of the corpo-
ration may sign the articles.

BERGIN FILES ACTION.
Goes to Law to Compel Payment Of
Policy.

Thomas /. Bergin, attorney at law,
fled suit in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday against the CONNER
cial Union Assurance Company. Linn
tied, of London, to collect $1,000 insur-
ance oh a two-story building on Cal
ifornia street, near Front, belonging to
him. Mr.. Bergin alleges that the build
ing was worth $4,000, and that II was
destroyed by FIRE on April IS. 1t is fur
ther alleged that the insurance COM
pany fatty refused to pay him even ono
cent of insurance, the company insist
ing that the building was destroyed by
the earthquake and not by the fire. This
assertion Mr.. Bersin denies in his COM
plant, and AYERS that the building was
destroyed by the fire and not by the
earthquake
The trial of this case will be OF alb
sorbing interest to lawyers as well as
layrnen because the suit is without
precedent, and the proceedings and
Judgment of the court will form new
and interesting chapter In insurance
Jurisprudence. The only issue appear
ing in the complaint is as to whether
the earthquake inyalidated the policy.
