INSURANCE CO.
Governor Noel Has Approved Charter
of Union Guarantee and Insurance
Co., a Negro Concern.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Ex-Governor
Noel has approved the charter of the
Union Guarantee and Insurance COM
pany, capitalized at $4,000. This is
probably the first insurance company
in the world to be organized by ne
groes of Mississippi.
The incorporators of the new COM
pany are among the leading negroes
of the state. There are 81 incorpora-
tors, among them John w. Harris,
Meridian; E. H. McKisseck, Holly
Springs; L. X. Atwood, Jackson; w.
e. Mollison, Vicksburg; and l.. T.
Montgomery, Mound Bayou.
The entire capital stock of the COM
pany, which will be organized in a
short time, will be subscribed by the
negroes of the state, and negro Off
GERS will conduct the business.
The company will not only write in
surance, but do a general guarantee
business among the race.
While Mississippi negroes have had
their own banks for several years
officered and capitalized by the race
this is new field for the negroes, but
they seem confident of making a sue
cess of the venture.
Mississippi has eleven negro banks
each of which seems to be in a pros
porous condition. Most of thes'
banks have been doing business sever
al years and have good surplus, il
addition to CARRYING a good line o

FOOTPRINTS OF GIL eRs.
They Present a Serious Pr lem For
Future Generations.

Future Generations.
The site of New York city was once
buried under hundreds. possibly thou-
sands. of feet of ice. Ample proof or
this is found in many places on Man
haitian Island. the most tangible being
the footprints" of glaciers. Examine
the surface of the rocks In Central or
Riverside park and you will find nu-
merous peculiar marks.
These peculiar marks. called by ge-
ologists 'striae." are the footprints
of glaciers. They were produced by
the grinding of pebbles upon the rock
surfaces under the glaciers as the lat
ter moved to the sea.
How long ago it was that glaciers
flowed over Manhattan Island is
matter of uncertainty. The period has
been variously estimated at from 5000
to $4,000 years. The present trend
of opinion is in favor of the smaller
estimate. But, knowing as we do
that the site of New York city was gla-
ciated at a time remote or compara-
lively recent. the portentous question
arises, Are the glaciers likely to de-
scend on it again? No human means
could arrest their irresistible advance.
Palatial homes. towering skyscrapers.
East river bridges. all the magnificent
monuments of human achievement,
would be ground into atoms and swept
into the ocean.
Striae, or footprints" of glaciers. are
found from the highest northern and
southern ATTITUDES to the equator. was
the entire surface of the earth at one
time covered with ice? Some geolo-
gists have taken that view. but the
evidence does not warrant it.
That the earth has changed its axis
from time to time and is still changing
1t is a fact well known to astronomers.
1t is conceivable, therefore, that in the
course of ages, before the earth's crust
assumed its present formation. the
poles may once have been on the pres
ent equatorial line and the equatorial
line where the poles now stand. BY
oscillation of the globe and consequent
interchanging of polar and equatorial
lines every part of the earth's surface
must have been successfully glaciated
Such a general lateral movement OF
the earth furnishes reasonable ex'
PLANTATION of the glacial footprints" ev
erywhere found.
The north is undoubtedly growing
warmer. Some 500 years ago Alaska
was still covered with glacial ice. Five
hundred years from now there vii
scarcely be glacier to be found there
except in the highest mountains. 1.-The
next generation will find few of then

Father has always been the goat.
1t was always father who held the

CURYA|LMENT IN
iron BUSINESS
Specifications as Well as New Orders
ror Finished Steel Are Smaller
And Demand is Light.

New York, Aug. 24.-Business in
IRON and steel products is steadily
contracting. Specifications as well
as new orders for finished steel are
smaller. The Steel corporation is
now producing pig iron at the rate of
20 per cent and finished steel at
the rate of 73 1-2 per cent of total
capacity. This means that the cor
poration Is turning out steel at the
rate of about 100000 tons annually
and pig iron about 100000 tons less.
Independent steel interests are oper-
ating about the same proportion Of
capacity, These figures indicate de-
crease of to per cent in the last
few weeks.
1t is probable the decrease in the
total production of pig iron by all in
terests this month will be much less
in July, probably slightly under the
rate of 25,400,00O tons annually, while
ccnsumptive requirements are esti
mated at the rate of 24,OO0,000 tons
annually. Stocks are still being car
ried on furnace banks aggregating l.,
100000 tons.
1t is thus probable that the read
justment in iron has not been com
! pleted
In finished steel products the wire
trade is the only one displaying any
real activity. The railroads are still
placEg only mandatory orders foI
equipment. Last week total contracts
for fabricated steel aggregated onl.
$4,000 tons.
The principal feature in pig iron i
the negotiations by the largest cos
iron pipe manufacturers for 1900
tons of southern iron. Steel maki1
iron in the central west has decline
25 cents per ton.

A HeaIthful Costume.

When the Fraser highlanders landed
in North America in 1857, 1t was pro-
posed to change the dress on account
of the cold winters and hot summers.
The officers successfully opposed this
and were ultimately justified by the
highlanders being the healthiest SOL
diers in the army. In the campaign In
Holland in 1894 some regiments lost as

in its ranks, had only twenty-five cas-

a family reunion was enjoyed.
An accident of the reunion which
