Why Tax Was Increased.
Councilman +. I. Ford, who Is chair
man of the city council finance COM
mittee. was on the sand yesterday
morning and testified as to the rea-
sons why the taxes on the fire insur-
ance companies were increased He
gave two reasons. the first being tnat
the city "uteded the money, and the
second that the fire losses here had
been so small and the total OF tne
premiums so large by comparison tnat
the city officials thought the insur'
ance companies could better AFFORD
the increase than any other business
firms.
Mr. Ford testified that before me
tax was increased he had requested
Chairman Harris, Of the Virginia CON-
mittee of the association, to give New
port News new rating. but the com
mittee had refused to re-rate this
city. Mr.. Ford also told of the cen
versstion he had had with Mr.. Harris
In the Office Of Alderman c. d. West
after the tax was increased He and
MIR. West had asked Mir. Harris not
to increase the rates here. but re-
ceived no definite reply. Mr.. Harris

all directions. Soon the Belgian, Eng

found themselves baffled by the verita-
BILE gale which carried the burning en-
bers to all parts of the grounds. The
loss is estimated at $l0O.0O0,OOO.
An engine corps from Antwerp at
tempted to dynamite the bridge of the
French section in the hope of checking
the fire, but the flames leaped across
and engulfed the Italian. Russian. Aus
trian, Japanese, Chinese and Norwegian
buildings. Forty houses on the Avenu-
Solbosch. adjoining the exposition, were
destroyed.
At the time Of the outbreak not less
than 100000 persons were circulating
in the grounds and the Kermez. The
troops were ordered out and came at
double quick to aid the police in clear
ing the great grounds. This was ac-
complished in fair order except within
the limits Of the Kermez. where the
vast crowds became entangled in an
almost inextricable mass, fighting des-
perately to find an escape from the
flames which swept viciously throug-
hot the tinder-like structures.
Soon the enormous facade tumbled
in ruins. Considering the rapidity Of
the conflagration the small loss Of life
is marvellous. So far as Is known. only
two are dead. The injured as officially
announced. number thirty, but probably
many hundreds received minor injuries.
AS the flames reached the menagerie
it was decided to shoot the beasts. but
the heat drove back the soldiers and
the animals were left to their fate.
The fire was finally gotten under con-
troll. but the Belgian and English sec
tions are ruins while all the other Sec
| lions. including the American. were
partly destroyed.

BEST SCHOOL IN THE
STATE FOR BOYS

Among the schools which will open
next month, none are more worthy Of
consideration than the convent school
OF st. Joseph at Loretto. In Duval
county.
This school was established and is
peculiarly we'll adapted for the care
and education Of boys up to fifteen
years OF age. It Is a home where they
are cared for and q school where they
are taught. 1t Is situated in one Of the
most healthy and convenient locations
In Florida, on a high ridge among
beautiful pine woods, IL miles south OF
Jacksonville. 1t Is just near enough to
the city to be convenient and far
enough to remove the boys from it,
temptations.
The course Of study at Loretto is one
OF the best that the experience of
years could suggest. It contains the
essentials and the accomplishments for
those who desire them. but Is not bur-
dened with the superduities that lead
ing educators are beginning to realize
form too large a part of the public
school course. A student at Loretto
can acquire by the time he Is fifteen the
education 1t would take him three
years longer to obtain In the public
6CnOOL In0 teachers at AOEeIlO DO not
drive their pupils. They teach them
steadily and without useless effort.
They are highly trained and know just
how to bring out the best there is in
q boy.
4 The school Is we'll equipped for the
comfort Of the boys. The dormitories
are models Of neatness. The school is
supplied with sulphur water from a
| well 700 feet. deep. This well Is a
fountain OF health In itself. There is a
| swimming pool as big as lake, In
| which all the boys are taught to swim.
| With all these advantages, the ex-
| pense OF keeping a pupil at Loretto is
| not high. A boy can be kept there at
little more than the cost Of his own
| home.
| st. Joseph's is a Catholic school. but
1t IL q good one for Protestant boys to
go to. They are not given religious
instruction unless their parents so de-
sire. and their preferences In this re-
spect are not infringed uoon.
The Star is we'll acquainted with the
teachers and several pupils Of Loretto
/ and can recommend the institution. The
school opens September Is. Write al
once to the Sister Superior. st. Joseph's
Academy, Loretto, Fla. and she will
send you catalogue.

Ever see a person or a town too self
conscious? OF course you have. Well.
Fort Meade Is an example of the oppo-

has been so rapid.<yet so steady and
persistent, her people haven't yet
caught on to the fact that she Is now
one Of the most important inland towns

We are assured by one qualified to

London, August 15.-F1orence Night
ingale. the famous nurse Of the Grim
can War and the only woman who ever
received the Order Of Merit, died yes
terday afternoon at her London home
Although she had been An invalid for
long time. rarely leaving her room
where she passed the time in half re-
cumbent position and was under the
constant care Of a physician. her death
was somewhat unexpected.
Her funeral will be as quiet as posi-
bic in accordance with her wishes.
During recent years. owing to her fee
bleness and advanced age, Miss Night
ingale had received but few visitors.
On May IL last she celebrated her
ninetieth birthday and was the recipi-
ent Of congratulatory message from
King George.
Florence Nightingale was born on
May IL, 1920. She was the first woman
as a nurse, and in the Crimean War
gained the title Of "Angel Of Crimea."
She studied nursing under the Protest
ant Sisters Of Mercy at Kaiserworth.
Germany, and returned to England
when the Crimean War broke out. She
organized corps Of volunteer nurses
whom she led into the field and was
especially celebrated for her noble ser
vices at Scutari.
At the close Of the war she was en-
| abled by a testimonial fund amounting
to $250,OOO, to found an Institution for
the training Of nurses. the Nightingale
Home at St. Thomas Hospital She was
| also the means Of calling attention to
| the insanitary conditions Of camp hos
pitfalls. In 1908 she received the free
dom Of the city Of London.
King Edward bestowed upon her the
Order of Merit. the most exclusive dis
| tinction in the gift Of the British SOW
ereign. The membership of the Order
| is limited to twenty-four and 1t in
cludes such men as Lord Roberts, Lord
Wellesley. Field Marshal Kitchener.
James Bryce, Prince Yamagata and Ad-
miral Togo.
There is a strong feeling among the
| general public and particularly among
the military men. in favor Of public
memorial for Florence Nightingale.
There is little doubt. however, that her
Expressed wishes in this connection
| will be taken into consideration. Not
even the death Of a royal parsonage
could have called forth more universal
Expressions Of regret and tributes of
affection than appear In the English
papers.
