FIRE INSURANCE.

In strong article, advocating
the creation of state commission
to tx fire insurance rating, just as
ths RailnOad Commission fixes
railroad tariffs, Assistant Secre.
tary of State Eugene McGivney
has opened up subject that Is Of
the greatest Importance to both
the fire insurance agents and those
who have property insured. lii
an article on this subject in the
New York Journal of Commerce
MIR. Givney says:
"Again, it will be found that in
one section of the country the
agents are receiving Is per cent
commission, and in another local..
ty the agents receive as high as
80 and 40 per cent Of the premium
for their commission, although the
hazard for burning may be ident.
ical in each case, and the localities
may be separated only by a river
marking the boundary line of ad-
joining States. These incongrui-
ties may be considered as funda-
mental errors and only mistakes of
Judgment, having nothing to do
with the Intentional and awful
abuses, euch as rebating and par
iall;y in making rates for favored

his head and seeing the approach

end Of the car as it came up to
him. In this he failed and fell,

Alexander refused to advance money
without security. The stranger Of
fered to leave the baby with Alexan-
der, saying he could raise the money
in a short time and would return for
the child.
Alexander is family man and was
not appalled, by the proposition, so the
baby was handed across the counter
and the strangest bargain ever heard
of in this city was struck. That was
three weeks ago.
Alexander still has the child and the
police are searching for the father.
