Declined to Go with Royal.
When the Royal Fire Insurance COM
pany reinsured many of the policy
holders of the German, of Freeport,
Mr.. Rudy, along with other agents,
was offered place with the Royal.
He did not accept, however, as he was
the presidency of the In
Fire Insurance company
at that time.

titude of most of the directors and
officers of the company in regard to
the policy of the company immediate
ly after the San Francisco fire. The
losses of the Indianapolis Fire Insur
ance company in that disaster were
heavier than at first estimated, but

SCHOOL TEACHERS
WORE CARNATIONS
An Effort Was Made to Make
Observance of Mckinley
Day More General.
ACTION BY SCHOOL BOARD
FLOWERS DISTRIBUTED WITH
THE INSTRUCTION THAT THEY
BE WORN AND THEIR SIGNIFI-
cANcE MADE KNOWN.

1t is the de sire of the members of
the school board that Carnation day
January 29-the date on which the
late President Mckinley was born, be
generally observed by the pupils of
the public schools of Richmond. With
this end in view, the board early yes
terday morning distributed carnations
to all of the teachers with instructions
TO wear them, and explain to the
scholars the true significance of the
day. These instructions were carried
out to the letter. although in many in
stances they were unnecessary, as a
number of pupils appeared at school
wearing the little flower of which the
late president was so fond.
The carnation was very much in evi-
dence on the streets and i'll public
places, men in almost every walk of
life, observing the day. This pretty
custom was suggested by Lewis G.
Reynolds, of Dayton, and out of it
grew the '.Carnation League of Amer
ica.' Were Mr.. Mckinley alive, he
would have been 60 years OF age yes
terday.

ARE SHORT OF TRAINMEN
A Brakeman May Be Added to Each
Through Train Which Passes
Through City on Panhandle.

Under existing conditions, the
through trains, running between New
York and st. Louis and New York and
Chicago, over the Pennsylvania lines,
are short on trainmen, and last week,
according to the advices received i'm
Richmond yesterday, the trainmen' S
representatives men with G. L. Peck,
general manager of the system, in
PIttsburg, TO arrange schedule
whereby these through trains would
have larger crews. At present the
through trains are of such length that
the conductors and brakemen cannot
possibly get over the trains as they
should. In fact, the work is more
than the two men, with the assistance
of the porters on Pullmans. can do.
and it is thought advisable to add at
least one new man, brakeman for
each train. Although not adding ma
terially TO the operating expense of
the trains, it will be great protection
to travellers.

Prof. Willis Moore Talks on the
Weather Eureau in Enter
tanning Manner.
FORETELLING Or STORMS
FORECASTS ARE MADE WITH
GREAT ACCURACY, THUS PRE-
VENTING HEAVY LOSSES AND
SAVING MANY LIVES.

A man OF most pleasing personality
who for the most part talks TO his
auditors in an easy, conversational
way, occasionally indulging in flight
of oratory, Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief
Of the weather bureau, commanded
the closest attention from the large
audience that greeted him last even,
ing at the Gennett theater
Storms was the subject of Mr.
Moore's address, and there is probably
no man in the country better able to
handle that topic. In his opening re-
marks the lecturer called attention to
the work of the weather forecasters
throughout the country, saying that
when their reports were promulgated
and forwarded to Washington they
formed panoramic view of the at
mospheric conditions all over the con-
tinent Their forecasts of the route
of an impending storm were in almost
every instance absolutely correct. The
work that forecasters in this country
did in thirty minutes required many
hours in foreign lands, and in many in
stances these observations were not
compiled until after the storm had
passed. The federal government had
expended more money in this depart
ment than was spent for the same pur-
pose by all the foreign countries COM
bined. AS a result, it had system
with which none of them were COM
parable.
At one time, the sneaker said. that
he had caused reports to be submit
ted from 100 cities. giving estimates
of .ae amount of money that had been
sa ved in each of them as the result
of the forecast of a great storm. and
the total came TO the astounding sum
Of s3,400.0 900 The percentage Of the
loss of life on land and sea was much
smaller than IL had been rrior to the
establishment cf the wesfher bureau
It was always much easier for the
to tell of the anproach of a
storm than 1t was to predict rain or
snow, as storms We're the ontgrowrh
Of the INEQUALITIES of the atmospheric
pressure. He called attention to the
fact that the city of New Orleans had

LIGHTNING STRIKES MULES AND
 MASTER.
(Etom Wednesday E Dauy.r

Still dnzed from the effects of n stroke of lightning, which killed his team of mules and knocked him sense less, Juan Mendoza lies at his home in the Soutnern Heights, slowly recover. ing from m almost fatal experience he had late Thursday afternoon, says the Tucson Star.
 Mendoza had been to the Pima min. ing district and was driving home in the storm when the lightning hit his team of mules, both dropping dead in their tracks.
 After knocking Mendoza senseless, his body falling out of the wagon, the lightning tore ofr completely the left leg of his trousers, and burned up the shoe. Every piece of metal on his body was burned, the buttons turning to a cinder.
 Mendoza laid in the road some time, until q passerby picked him up and brought him part way into the city. The accident happened about three miles out, and just how long Mendoza lay senseless before hs was picked up he has not been able to figure. In addition to being badly dazed, Mendoza suffers from severe pains in his left leg and foot, from which the clothing and shoe were torn in freak. ish manner by the lightning. Metal in all parts of the wagon in which Mendoza was riding shows the effects of being hit by lightning. In some places it was burned up, in others twisted, and in some only blackened. Nendozss condition, while reported last night to be serious, was not con. sidered such that the shock and injur' ies he received will prove fatal.

GIANT PROFITS IN
 MINING INDUSTRY
Fiftv-Nine Millions Tn Dividends Paid During Past Seven Months--Copper Alone Contributed Thirty-Nine Mil- lions of the Total Amount.

Montana, Anaconda and other mines, whose dividends arc included in the total for operating properties given above, have declared t9,20l,276 this year, and is now earning s per cent per annum. Since incorporation, in April. 1899, with capitalization of S7j GOO. .OOO. increased in 1901 Co $l55,. 100000, of which si53.ss7,900 is now outstanding, Amalgamatcd has dc. clarcd total dividends of $52,6ls,504. This is the largest mine securities holding corporation in the world.
 Aside from the dividends declared by tho metal mines and works and tho SC. curi,ics holding corporations, we learn that substantial profits are being dis. tributed by metal selling companies, as result of tho continued high prices for silver, copper, lead and zinc. The largest metal selling agency in the United States is the United, incorpor. atcd in January, 1900, with n capital ization of s5,OO0,OO0, which is largely controlled by people affiliated with the Amalgamatcd Copper company. Fo' the seven months this year the United Metals Selling company has declared dividend of 7h per cent. of tl,375, 900, making n total Co date of $i,s75, 900 or 07hs per cent on the share cap ital.
 If it were possible 10 compile tho enormous profits that are periodically distributed by the many private ant close corporations which arc directly in tcrested in the mineral industry, th' fact would be emphasized that fabulou wealth Is being created by American mines and metallurgical works. To rs port annually an output of mineral and metals of the large total value oI nearly $2,O00,O0O,00O is record oI which the investors in the industry ma, we'll feel proud. Capitalists are no alone in sharing in the vast profit earned by the mining industry, fo labor also is being greatly benc6tts' by higher wages generally. Manufac turers of machinery and dealers in min and works supplies, nre earning n sub stantial livelihood by catering to tn mineral industry. Last, but not least are the railroads and other transporta tion corporations, which are fattenin their purse on the receipts from th enormous freight carried for the min eral industry. In short, this country prosperity should he credited largel. to the expansion in our mining an' metalluYgieal industries.
