BETTER FIRE DEPARTMENT
RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGE
Interssting Interview With Mr.. A. a.
Montague, Who Explains the New
Rate, and the Manner IN Which It
Was Secured.

Inc business men or HattleSDurg
and property owners generally are in
a happy frame of mind on account of
the lowering of the rates OF insur-
ance in this city and the fact that
Hattiesburg has been given the same
rate as other second class cities.
One of the merchants on Front
street was greatly overjoyed about the
matter and was jubilant when telling
a Daily News reporter of the matter
yesterday afternoon. That the mat
ter might reach the public call was
made on Mr.. A. A. Montague and that
gentleman was asked to explain the
situation for the benefit of all con-
cerned.
In speaking of the rates that for
! merly obtained in this city, Mr.. Mon
tague said the insurance agents then
made whatever rates they choose
without any regard to the rate sheets
and regulations. but matters in the in
surance line have changed decidedly
When asked as to what had brought
about the change in the rates he said
that the fact that the city now had
a well equipped and much enlarged
and improved paid fire department,
and because of the better class Of
buildings and the general surround
/ ings and conditions now existing in
Hattiesburg, had been the reason Of
the change.
For eight years past Hattiesburg has
been without rate on new buildings
except as made by local agents, whose
Interest was to make the rates as
cheap as possible. This policy often
caused mistakes to be made against
the interests of the insured, but the
new rates made by the Mississippi In
surance and Advisory Rating Com
pany, of vicksburg, gives every build
ing rate on its own physical merits.
Under the old rates." said Mr..
Montague, dwellings, for instance,
were generally written on basis Of /
per cent but the new rating lowers
this to rs per cent. of per cent. The
same rule applies to brick buildings OF
"B" construction and the general re.
sult-un- all fire insurance in Hatties.
bnrg will show healthy reduction
Nth the exception OF individual cases
where agents have been writing the
business regardless of proper rules for
rating. In some such cases there is
an increase shown under the new rat
ing.
1T must be said emphatically, con
>tinued Mr.. Montague, warming to his
subject, that every building. under
the new rules is rated specifically as
tc its own particular physical condi
tions and surroundings. These rates
which are simply advisory rates com
! piled by the Mississippi Insurance and
Advisory Rating Company under the
special permission from the state leg
islature and are made under the i'm
proved conditions existing in Hat
tiesburg, which gives this city the
same rates that exist in all second
class cities"
Thus it will be seen that the people
of Hattiesburg have right under the
circumstances to be elated over tht
fact that the rates of insurance have
been lowered, for that viii mean mucl
money saved to the insured

PEOPLE AFFLICTED
 KNOW NOT CAUSE
An EnsIey Man Discovers the Cause of Ills Illness In a Remarkable Way By the Aid of Plant Juice. A SpIen. did Cure Announced.

If anyone had suggested to me that I had a tape worm," said Henry Parker of Ensley, T would have laughed at him, and despite the fact that I have been laboring under the impression that I have had chronic indigestion for years, I am thoroughly convinced now that such was not the case. I suffered from languidity and had pains after eating. I dieted my self and tried every remedy suggested. until finally I commenced on Plant Juice.
 Three days after taking the first dose I psssed a monster tapeworm, head, tail and all and since that time have had ab- solute relief and am now in splendid condition.
 This is perhaps one of the strongest testimonials ever given 10 the famous remedies of Colonel Dillingham; as the re- suit of the effect of the Plant Juice was entirely unexpected and unthought of. The Plant Juice remedies are evidently creating a tremendous impression on the people of the district and surrounding country as all of the drug stores who are handling the medicine speak in glowing terms of the medicine.
 The platform is operating opposite the Majestic theatre and great crowds are at tending every night. Lecturer Mills IS entertaining the crowds in an inimitaole manner and incidentally selling lots or the medicine.

MONORAIL TRAIN
 IS GREAT SUCCESS
Louis Brennan'S Invention is a
 Wonderful Thing
SEES TEST OF THE DEVICE
Car Is Balanced on a Wire Rope and Runs Up and Down and Around
 Sharp Curves, Defylne
 Laws of Gravitation.

London, August 2S-"Louis Brennan's monorail invention is a complete success" said Alexander H. Revell of Chicago after closely observing MT. Brennan's demon straton at the Savage club. "In the presence of 200 Savages and one Indian myself" MT. Revell continued, MT. Bren- nan proved that he has developed the power of balancing moving vehicle on a single rail to a remarkable degree. Marvellous Is the only word I can think of to express 1t. Although the inventors opportunity to show his creation was not by any means good, there was not a hitch in the performance, nor need one apologetic word be spoken about it.
 SkepticIsm Is Routed.
 "I must admit that I went to the show a very skeptcal man. But I have seen and I am compelled to believe. Imagine a man crossing tight wire rope, with no possibility of his falling off. Then imagine a car placed on the same rope, weighing several hundred pounds and run ming up and down around sharp curves. This is the only comparison that occurs to me as Illustrating what MT. Bren- mans invention accompiishes. How val uable it is going to be to the world of traffic-passenger and freight-I do not dare to predict. However, when one thinks that the government has made an important appropriation to test 1t, that the Royal Society of Engineers and Ar chitects has examined and highly com mended it and that the inventor has all ready a great record for remarkable prac- ticaI achievements, one Is ready to be- lieve that the monorail may take its place among those astonishing things so useful to men which provoked only skep- ticism and ridicule a few years ago..

peared on Broadway a year ago wearing that coat would have been followed for blocks by mob anxious to see what he was advertising The material is slightly darker than white flannel, and has a foot and n half plaid of three inch chromo brown stripes Then there is another overcoat, supposed to be Eng fish tweed. The cloth contains a touch of every color in the rainbow.
 If New York should adopt the styles set forth Broadway thls winter will look like a carnival of boomers for a comic opera costumer. There Is one consolation, however in the exhibit. Those who were worried last year over the dictum from the tailors convention that men really must wear corsets need not worry longer The sack coat of many colors will be cut full, and there will be absolutely no need for any artificial repression
 Order Your Caruso Pockets Now.
 There are other styles coming back. The man who has kept a paddock over coat in a mothball tomb for two years can get 1t out again this winter. The silt back coat will be quite the thing. Of course, there will be the straight back coat, but he who prefers this style must have 1t made with Caruso pockets. This is not a gratuitous slap at the great tenor. The long. perpendicular slit pock- cts which go 'all the way through arc now designated by tho trade" in this manner.
 Incidentally, if you want a long, full back coat with belt you must have the side seams creased like razons and the material of which It Is made must vie in splendor with the multi-colored coat of Joseph.
 Sack coats will be cut much shorter this winter and perish the thought 1t is hinted that before long the dear old coats of your college days, which ended just below your back, will be back again. And Raglan shoulders-that is, the shoulders that were not shoulders at all-are also to return. Pads must be thrown away, Tor coats this year will be cut Just as wide as the wearer and no wider.

New York, August 3-(specal) )-The latest wrinkle in glad ralment is to be blue evening clothes. The man who in the coming fall and winter expects to ap, proach anywhere near the real thing All have to array himself nightly in dark blue clawhammer.
 At the annual garment and style ex- hibit which opened today two-thirds of the evening suits on exhibition are made of blue worsted The material Is dark and in certain lights cannot be distin- guished from black.
 Other interesting things can be seen nt the exhibition besides the blue evening clothes. The forms on which hang the clothes that New York ought to wear and probably won't, look much like the wardrobe of vaudeville slapstlck artist or a Dutch comedian. The colors range anywhere from cream brown to Nile green.

The Post Card Craze.

From the New York World
 Up to eight years ago the American tourist abroad put time and energy into writing long letters descriptive of his travels. Today the illustrated post card enables him to give his friendds a more instructive idea or what he is seeing.
 The souvenir post card-of French origin but German development-has become a universal institution. It's manufacture is a great industry It represents the golden idea of success ful business enterprise-cheapnes and utility. 3
 It's sale contributes to the mainte- nance of palace, gallaries. museums and hospitals. It advertises cities, railroads, hotels, theatres, resorts in- dustries. It gives employment to thousands and yields its manufactur- CTS an immense revenue.
 It has supplied the postal service of the world with a new problem. Of ficials of our postoffice department say that they are staggered by the increase it has made in the volume of the mails. Although the United States was slower than other nations to adopt the illustrated post card it's use dur ing the last three months of summer travel has increased more than 60 per cent.
 At the New York postoffice the daily average of domestic post cards received for domestic distribution out side of New York is more than 3O,00O. The daily average of cards of foreign origin for similar distribution IS about 25.O00. These figures do not include the mail bundles made up Tor the great cities and centers Of distrl- button throughout the country. To include them would be to quadruple these figures The record ship-ma1i figures were made on August s, when The Adriatic arrived with 65,00O post cards in her mail bags.
 Local figures are even more amaz- Ing. New York's letter carriers daily 1istribute an average of 150,000 post rards. The hordes of New Workers who flock to Long Island resorts to spend Sundays send back 250,O00 cards which must be handled in the Monday deliveries. Last Monday 2O,0O0 Of fese cards passed through branch sta ton H, at Madison avenue and Forty third street. New York's Sunday visi- tors to the country spent $5000 in single days absence to let their friends know that they were not for gotten.
 The government is encouraging the use of picture post cards by reducing the restrictions that regulate them. Recently an order was issued permit ting messages to be written on the left half of the address side. The same rule is observed now throughout Eu- rope.
 There Is a business reason for the governments generosity. Although the post card of private manufacture Is putting the old-fashioned govern ment postal card out of business, Uncle Sam gets the same revenue fom the stamp and saves the cost of the card and the printing.
 In quality the best of the cards are improving rapidly. Many have the appearances of etchings and engrav- ings, and a collection of them is a beautiful souvenir of trip away from homo

white by the fog and the black by the smoked glass in the lamp. But such a combination of circumstances would be as rare as a load of dynamite being struck by lightning at the very mo ment that a passenger train was pass ing the car containing the explosive which has happened once in the history of railroading.
 The abolition of white also insures the engineer being better able to be sure of his signals. Often he is called on to pass through a bewildering array of white lights, and to distinguish h1s own from among the many Is difhcuit, while to mistake one of the host Tor the signal of safety is easy. With the white light eliminated, the worst that can happen to him is mistake that will be on the side of safety and cause him to stop.
 Orange as a Caution.
 Signal lamp manufacturers have made many attempts to secure a satisfactory yellow glass, but in vain. Accordingly, many of the roads prefer the orange for caution. as that color is likely to show n tinge of red, which will cause the en- gineer to err on the side of safety if 1t changes it's tinge. Not few of the roads, however. do not believe in the "per1nissive' system of block signaling, and tnere1Ore nave 1O pothSi "ith 1 siiii color. Notable among such Is the st. Paul. which has only two block signals stop and proceed" It does not be- lieve that the engineer should be given any discretion, but that his right to pro- ceed and his command to do otherwise should be absolute
 The Northwestern was one of the nfst roads in the middle west to adopt the new signal-light code, and the officials or that road would not go back to the old syS- tenn for anything, so superior do they believe the new to be-
 Problem to Be Solved.
 The problems the new board will have to solve will be the same that the Amer ican Railway association has been trying to decipher for many years. One Of them will be the making of lexicons for the semaphores by day and for the signal lamps and their positions by night. new system being tried on the Pennsylvania gives the sernaphore at least twelve ex- pressions. Many expert signal and oper- believe that the language Of the sema- nhore should be made as simple and brief as nossible, as is the case in England, where traffic density is much greater than here. They hold that the language 0, tbe semaphore should be confined to three uords-"stop," proceed" and caution. Anv additions to these multiplies the dan ger of mistake.
