LOSSES BY FIRE LAST YEAR.

LOSSES B1 S1ttE LAST FAX.
 The National Board of Underwrit- CTS states that the fire losses in the United States in 1907 amounted to s199, 9,3s3,3OO, and that the total for the last five years has been S1,257,- 716,955, or an average of more than s251 ,OOO,OO Thus the losses for 1907 were s51,OOO,OOO less than the aver age, which is comparatively good re- cord. But our showing is bad com pared with that of European coun- tries. In five years the average loss per capital for Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Switzer- land has been 33 cents. Italy has the best showing, F cents. Germany tops the list with 49 cents. But for the same period the per capita loss from fire in the United States has been $3O2. The result in thirty for eign cities gave a per capita loss of SO.61, as against s3.lO, the five years average for 252 cities in the United States. The underwriters make a plea for more efficient water supply, better fire department equipment, and more strict building laws. There is room for improvement in these direc- tions, and we shall pay the penalty for continued neglect to adopt all possible protection against destruc- tion of property by fire

BIRMINGHAM STRIKERS
 LOMBARD A TRAIN
Three Men Were Killed and Two Nor
 tally Wounded.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 9.-Three men were killed and seven injured, two mOrtally, when the striking miners fired into a passenger train on the Bir- mingham Mineral railroad at-Blockton this morning. The dead are: Con ductor Collins, Deputy Sheriff Dent and Willard Howell, a non-union miner. Major Dodge and Superin- tendent Cox of the Tennessee Coal company were wounded.
 The train was bearing non-uniOn miners and deputies to the Blockton mines. The miners threw a log across the track and from the rocks above poured down a deadly fire. The en- gineer threw on full speed and hurled the log from the track, but practically every window in the train was broken and many shots took effect. There were eight arrests this afternoon. Af ter a conference of Governor Conner and Lieutenant-C Colonel Hubbard an other company of militia was hurried to the scene. All is quiet tonight.

THE AWFUL DISCOVERY
 0f A GERMAN-AMERICAN
His Arrest in Germany for Having Married His Own Daughter.

Berlin, Aug. 9.-For having married his own daughter, Thomas Wolland a GermanAmerican, has been ar rested in Bromberg in the Prussian province of Posen.
 The details of this affair as far as they are known by the authorities are very peculiar. Thirty years ago Thomas Wolland, having failed in business here, emigrated to the Un- ited States to make his fortune. He left behind his wife and a daughter one year old. Years passed, and nothing was ever heard from Vol land. His wife thought him dead, and when ten years after his depar- ture she wnated to marry she ap- piled to the courts htat after the us- ual formalities declared Thomas Vol land legally dead.
 Frau Wolland then married and a few years later her daughter of the first marriage emigrated to America. By perculiar coincidence the girl. who had taken her stepfather's name. met her father who had taken an- other name soon after his arrival in the United States. In spite of the difference in age the two fell in love and marrid and three children were born to them.
 Last year the couple with their children returned to their home in ,Posen where they made the awful discovery that they were father and daughter.
 Wolland himself reported the affair to the police and was immediately arrested. The police of Bromberg are now Investigating the affair and expect to be able to prove that Vol land, when he married his daughter was aware of their relations.

THE SPECIAL RATE TO LINCOLN.


 The request of Chairman Mack of the democratic committee for a spe- cial rate to Lincoln on the occasion of the notification ceremonies must have appeared to the officials of the Western Railway Passenger Associa- tion as somewhat "nervy." It was not unnaturally refused on the ground that the two cent fare laws of Ne braska and other states had already brought about a sufficient reduction of the rate.
 That a special rate had been made for the Taft notification proceedings at Cincinnati, notwithstanding Ohio had a two cent rate law, had noth- ing to do with the Lincoln case. The Ohio rate was never vigorously op- posed by the railroads while the Ne braska rate was on the ground of the more sparsely settled region to which it was applied. A two cent rate in a densely settled middle or eastern state and a two cent in Kan sas or Nebraska are quite different things from the railroad point of view.
 Some of the people of the western states where two cent fares have been imposed may have been bene- fitted thereby but through travellers have had to pay for it. This year, on account of the prevalence of the two cent rates, the excursion rate from the coast have been increased about S7 to Missouri river points as well as to Chicago.
 We have lately seen an instance of the effect in Phoenix of the legisla- tive tinkering by state with railroad fares. It had been the practice of the railroads here to issue, at the request of the board of supervisors or charitable associations, half fare tickets to persons in a semi-indigent condition. The other day such an application was made for a ticket to Cincinnati, to which point the regu- lar fare is S54. It was found that the railroad companies had adopted a new system of calculating the half fare" Half fare was allowed through all states where the two cent fare was not in force but in such states full fare was calculated, so that a charity" ticket to Cincinnati cost s46 instead of $27 as formerly.

here today, including 2OOO calves, market steady to Toe lower. All the markets are literally supplied today, which, together with the hot weather we are having, is against any urgent demand on the part of buyers. Grass cattle, of course, form big bulk of the receipts, best heavy grass steers selling at $500 to $560, medium weight and lighter steers $3.75 to $4.75, grass cows $2.60 to $3.50, most of the Panhandle cows last week at $3.00 to $3.20, bulls $40 to $3.50, veal calves $525 to $6.25. Trade in cOun- try grades cleaned up the supply last week, market about 10 cents under the previous week. Prices are hteady to 10 cents lower. with more stockers and feeders in the receipts than any day heretofore this season, stockers mainly at S325 to $4.25, feeders $4.OO to $46O, few on either side of these figures.
 Sheep and lamb receipts last week were 10000 head, market stronger each day during the week. The Lawson Utah wethers sold at s4.35 last Thursday, and Texas nut tons brought $40 on Friday. Run is 5000 her today. market steady to weak, with several lots of Utahs and Arizonians included, the Utah stuff today only medium quality. at $4.00 and $4.20, Arizona ewes $4.25. Ari- zona spring lambs, 66, at SS6.2O. A good share of the receipts for the last several weeks have been natives, but this run is about over. and range stuff, mostly from Utah and the northwest, vii form the bulk of the supply after this week. Top spring lambs brought $625, and stock and feeding sheep bring $3.25 to $4.00.

Says the Los Angeles Times: MT Longfellow's potetic and justly cele- brated statement to the-effect that They also serve who stand and wait does not apply to politics, where it is only the man that gets the office who serves" Only it was not MT Longfellow who made that statement but another, to be more acurate, who wrote: "They serve who only stand and wait"

Senor Magon, the agitator, who is in a Los Angeles jail awaiting extra dition proceedings, thinks this is not a good country from which to launch a revolution. The people here are too uninflammable. Mir. Magon was not invited to establish his revolution plant here. It should have been set up in Mexico where MT. Magon would have been nearer to his work.

FROM FACTORY TO MUSIC ROOM
NO MIDDLEMAN PROFITS ON
SMITH PIANOS.
Splendid Facilities for Washington
and Out-of-Town Trade Over
Large Territory.

When a piano is sold from the factory
direct to the home the man who buys 1t
expects to save the middleman's profit.
And that is the slogan of the +. G.
Smith Piano Company. at 1925 Pennsyl>
vania avenue. Washington
The concern has countless other rea-
sons why out-of-town and in-town piano
buyers should call. But the question Of
dollars is not to be overlooked.
In addition. one of the statesmen told a
Star man. buying pianos ION time is a
common thing, and the house is perfect
ly willing to get business Of that kind.
The concern has a big store. large
struments The rooms are not in the
least crowded. The main floor has a fine
show of pianos. Even the casual OBJ
server cannot help observing the fine
lines of the cabinets. even IL he does
not care to hear the tone.
The Washington store deals with out
of-town customers frequently. The man
ager wants to see them and pays espe-
cial attention to them. His store is fitted
for the business OF a tremendous out-of-
town territory. extending south to the
gulf and west to the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers.
The salesroom shows four lines of pi-
anos-the Bradbury, the Webster, the
Whittier and the Berkeley. In a large
book describing the Bradbury it Is stated
that the instrument is 1.-The admnistra-
ton piano." and there is shown a Brad
bury in the private reception room at the
White House.
In addition it shows photog raphs of in
struments ranging from $3.50 to 81 .325.
Other lines are sold by them as low as
$3.50
And. as last word, they will show
you there if you ask to see it medal
given them at the jamestown exposition.

Equipment for Life.

Prof Kern. superintendent Of county
schools in Rockford. Ill. has formulated
a new commandment-"Thou shalt enrich
and enlarge the life of the country child
and in pursuance Of this injunction,
the smallest country in Illinois-Putnam-
has inaugurated a new order of educa-
tional methods by establishing a CON
solidated" school. The farmers of Mag
nolia township-mostly descendants of
sturdy Quaker stock-have swept all the
small schools of their section into one
large one-a substantial building situated
on twenty acres of fine forest, furnished
with steam heat, gas and running water
and equipped with labora tories, libraries,
manual training rooms. playrooms. work
shop, cloakrooms and office. The course
of instruction includes the preparatory
grade and the high school course, with
special attention given to agricultural
science horticulture, animal husbandry,
domestic science and home economics, the
training being such as will tend TO con-
serve what is best and richest in a life
distinctly rural. The educational creed
thus inaugurated for farming districts Is
that the country child is entitled to every
whit as good an educational opportunity
as that now enjoyed by the most favored
city child now attending the American
public schools

Books of Reference.
I'm the New York Mail.

From the New York Nail.
Newspaper editors like to answer ques-
lions addressed to them by their readers
if they are not too hard-and they deem
themselves as arbiters rather than as ac-
cessories to a misdemeanor when they are
appealed to for information ito decide
bet" But they wonder sometimes why
certain questions are put to them for ar
bitrament, when the answers are to be
found in one of three very accessible
books-an almanac, a grammar or a small
dictionary.
These are books of reference that ought
to be in every home library, however
small. We guess that they are, but that
they are sometimes dusty with misuse or
out of easy reach on top shelf. 1t is we'll
to have an almanac. a dictionary or an
atlas handy when you are reading your
newspaper By consulting them frequent
w the reader will find bis daily paper re-
lates his early historical studies to pres
ent events and makes his touch with the
world closer and more significant. Get

Commissions Under Scrutiny.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce
One item OF federal expense that seems
to be attracting some attention in Wash
ington during the general revision of esti-
mates that is now in progress is that
which covers the cost of the various
commissions appointed during the past
few years. There are more than dozen
of these bodies in existence, and in one
way and another the total outlay involved
by them is usually raised to an exceedingly
high figure. Some of the commissions
are now firmly established as parts of
the governmental mechanism, others are
confessedly temporary, though showing
no signs of terminating their labors. and
still others will supposedly pass out OF
being as soon as the eXigency which
called them into operation has passed
What is apparent. however, is that the
habit of doing work through such organf-
cations. nearly unknown few years
ago, is growing, and as some of those
now in existence pass away others will be
likely to take their place. That is why
the cost Of this method Of administra-
ton is now under scrutiny.
