commissioner of insurance desires II
understood, and he hereby informs the
officers of the companies and their
Utah agents, that these certificates OF
authority are issued TO the companies
and their agents. and accepted by
them, on the condition that by accept
ing these licenses they bind themselves
to observe strictly the insurance laws
OF Utah, as interpreted by the commits
sioner. This has special reference to
certain matters which are particularly
pointed out in the section Of the statute
referring to life insurance companies
and their representatives.
Especial attention is called to re-
batting, Misrepresentation, twisting"
and other fraudulent practices which
occasionally creep into life insurance
work. Not only must the companies
and their agents pledge themselves TO
observe the law in these matters. as it
is interpreted by the commissioner, but
notice is hereby served that the COM
missioner reserves the right to revoke
the license Of any agent upon receiving
indisputable evidence that he has COM
mitted any Of these offenses, and to
suspend the license Of any company
that refuses to take summary action
against agents proved guilty Of unlaw-
full practices.
Full warrant is found for such pro-
cedure in subdivision g. section q, Of
the insurance law. II any officer or
agent is in doubt as to the interpreta-
tion placed by the commissioners on any
of these offenses, he VIII be fully in
formed upon applying to the depart

there came q heavy thud. and after
ward silence.
No one paid much attention, but when
she failed to come to breakfast they
went to her room. The poor lady lay
dead on the floor, with one of the cords
Of the exerciser twisted round her neck.
1t was plain that the disaster was pure
ly the result of accident. The cord had
got round her neck, and in attempting
to free herself she had lost her footing,
with the result that she had been lit
orally hanged.
A road official in a town in wur-
temburg lost his baby in a strangely
tragic fashion. The child was left in
its cot by an open window. A hen
flew in, and, happening to settle on
the throat Of the sleeping child, caused
pressure sufficient to suffocate the
poor little thing.
Speaking of hens, the con OF Hert-
fordshire farmer was feeding his poul-
try when hen with chickens flew at
his face, inflicting two very small
wounds. But the creatures beak must
have been poisoned. for locktaw was
the result. and the man was dead In
less than a week.
Two cases have recently been report
ed of deaths caused by hairpins or
combs. The first was in Paris. A wom-
an getting out of a train. stumbled
hair-comb pierced her skull and caused
her death. The other similar fatality
happened at Gothenburg. At dance
last winter a young ladys dress was
caught in an officers spurs. She tripped
up and fell heavily on her head. Here.
too, what is described in the German
account as "a metal hairpfn" was drtv-
en- into her skull with fatal results.
The Teeth and tho Wind.
False teeth have not infrequentiy
killed their owners. A gentleman went

and was in the act of undressing when
he was found blue In the face, and
choking. and before anything could be
done for him was dead.
II was afterward discovered that he
had swallowed his plate. A very cold
wind was blowing at the time. and II
is supposed that II was his shivering
which caused the tragedy. The moral
seems TO be that either you should not
battle on cold days, or else that, IL you
must do so, you should leave your false
teeth at home.

Strange Ways of Dying

The other day a Pimlico woman was
killed by falling upon a jug, which
broke and cut her arm so badly that
she bled to death.
This curious accident recalls another
which occurred year or two ago in a
shop in Cambridge row. Mile End. Wolf
Levine, son of a mineral water man
ufacturer, was opening a bottle of lem
onade, when II burst. A sharp fragment
Of glass flew up and drove deep into
the young fellows throat. inflicting a
wound which proved fatal.
Some years ago g. tipsy man was
turned out OF Manchester public house
for making a disturbance. He tried to
force his way back, and in the struggle
the door was shut upon his fingers.
Ten minutes later he was found dead
in the street. Examination by a doc
tor showed that he had been suffo-
Gated by q piece of skin, which was
stuck in his windpipe. Evidently his
finger had been badly pinched in the
door, and, naturally enough, he had
put II in his mouth. A piece of broken
skin passed down his throat, caught
in the air passages and suffocated him.
Excessive Exercise.
A most extraordinary case occurred
at Yarmouth some little time ago. A
lady who taught music was accustomed
to take exercise every morning with
patent apparatus. One morning she
was heard exercising, as usual. then

BOOTY Of BUCCANEERS
Treasure Buried by Pirates During
Eighteenth Century Unearthed
at Colmenar, Portugal.

Especial Gable to Herald-Repubiicsn.)
Lisbon, March 26-An interesting discov-
cry OF buried treasure. concealed by buo-
cancers during the eighteenth century, is
reported from Colmsnar. A workman who
was digging on the site of a ruined cas-
tie, near the town. unearthed a number
OF old Spanish gold and silver coins. He
reported his discovery to his employer,
and a systematic search was made in tbs
castle ruins. After laying bare the foun-
dstions Of the castle, which date from the
time Of the Moorish occupation, the sx-
plorers uncovered q dungeon which had
been carefully sealed by the buccaneers
In this apartment the walls Of which
were Of extraordinary thickness, were
two rusted iron chests filled with
treasure.
The contents of the chests were care
fully examined by experts, who believe
that they form part of the booty obtained
from ships captured more than $50 years
ago. Old Spanish and Portuguese money
formed the bulk Of the treasure, but many
gold and silver ornaments. including
vases, jewelry and ecclesiastical plate
were also contained In the chests.
The discovery has caused great excite
ment throughout the district. The exca-
vations continue under government super
vision.
