USELESS FIRE WASTE.

The population of this country has
increased 70 per cent since 1880, while
in the same period the fire loss has in
creased 1874 per cent. This Is state
ment made in a pamphlet issued by an
eastern fire insurance company In
which a protest Is entered over the In
difference we show toward avoidable
and criminal waste by fire. The COM
pany brings out some good points In
presenting its argument, a part OF
which follows:
One of the most glaring wastes IN
the country is the loss of life and
property by fire. This waste costs in
America at the rate three dollars per
capita of the population yearly. In
Europe thirty-five cents per capita.
Fully ninety per cent of all fires are
preventable arising from improper
construction, carelessness or tndiner-
ence, that the latter In many other
countries would be treated as criminal
and punished accordingly, but In THIS,
generally goes without investigation,
il insured, the popular belief and de-
fusion being that it is loss to the
insurance companies and not that OF
the public, whose taxable property has
been reduced to the extent of such loss
the insurance company being simply
the collector of what may be properly
called the fire tax. Every fire (great
or small) is loss to the community,
irrespective of whether the property
destroyed was insured or not, fact
that every property owner should bear
in mind, and realize that fires wipe
so much value out of existence, and ii
insured, that the insurance company
might have brought him to this part

What a pity that gentlemen who
have reached middle age without eau

tect them from their own wandering
fancies and the cupidity Of wealth-de-
string women do not fortify them
selves against the dangers which
await them by a careful examination
of some Of the embarrassing cases that
have gone before! On that subject the
newspaper files are perfect mines OF
information and admonition.
"But they don't do it, unfortunately.
Their principal course of reading

them in it's grip. Then and not till
then do they realize how extremely
foolish it is for middle-aged man to

Total Z,IIo
This shows that over forty.two per
cent of the fire losses in this city last
year have arisen from carelessness
and preventable causes. The expert
ence of this company isSthat 49.40 per
cent of its losses are attributable to
carelessness, apart from losses that
arise from improper construction OF
buildings, clearly indicating property
owners do not realize they are the
parties who pay the losses
We have reliable information to the
effect that insurance companies have
paid $2,565,939,G74 for property that
has been destroyed by fire in the Uni
ted States from 1880 to 1910, inclus.
i've. We don't know how much more
was destroyed that we have no inform-
alton of, but do know it must have
been considerable The amount in
any event is appalling, and large
proportion of it has arisen from care
lessness or Indifference that would be
held as criminal in other countries.
In many portions of Europe, the
"Code Napoleon" or something similar,
is in force. Under Section 1882 OF
same every person is personally re-
sponsible and Liable for any acts OF
his by which any other person has or
may have sustained any loss. dam.
age or injury" Then again, Section
1883 says every person is responsible
for any loss or damage or injury caused
by his own act, carelessness or regli-
gence."
In France fire is serious matter
to the party in whose premises 1t has
originated. 1t may result in criminal
or civil prosecution, generally both.
AS consequence unusual care is ex-
ercised in construction, and If possible
even mere in guarding against fire
originating through carelessness or
negligence. This has resulted in re.
reducing the fire cost throughout
France to about thirty-three cents per
annum, per head, of the population.
Even in portions of South America, ar
rest of the owner or occupant immed-
lately follows fire, and there is no
release until the. party under arrest Is
clearly indicated. In this free coun-
try carelessness and willful negligence
is ignored, improper construction is
admissible, and incendiarism generally
goes unpublished, while a fire waste un-
paralleled in the history Of the world
keeps increasing as evidenced by the
population having only increased since
1880, seventy-three per cent. while the
fire loss for the same period has in.
creased 1874 per cent, a condition that
probably will continue to the public's
loss as long as they do not realize
they themselves foot the bill.

at is practically impossible to re-
form a tramp after he becomes an old
hand. In prisons all over the country
there Is section known as buns
wing because the inmates cannot be
forced to take part in the labor OF the
other prisoners.
IF the country is to be free from
the tramp evil, the older generation
must be given life sentences and thus
prevented from making proselytes to
tra1npdom. The younger men could
often be reformed if given chance
and made to work.
Public officers often stimulate
rather than discourage vagrancy.
Where police officers are paid for ar
rests ard convictions, and justices Tor
commitments, as is the case in a great
many rural districts, 1t is common
custom for tramps to make deal
whereby they receive half the money
by giving themselves up and pleading
guilty. For instance, tramp goes TO
a policeman and agrees to denver
twelve Migrants into his charge. The
whole band are in the scheme and
plead guilty. The policeman gets 81
for each conviction, $24 in all, halt OF
which goes back to the tramps. They
are given suspended sentences and go
on their way rejoicing. Sometimes
the Justice commits them and divides
the commitment fee They are passed
on to the poor warden, who takes
them in at the front door, Shoes them
out the back and charges the county
for thirty days board for each OF
them.
Cramps have been found dead with
their own commitment papers IN their
pockets, given tnem by Justice
whose only interest was in his lee.
They were then at liberty to have
themselves locked up II they so
shose.
IF it were not for ride-stealing as
sert men, who have spent years study
ing the vagrancy problem, the tramp
could he put out of business. Free
TRANSPORTATION is necessity of the
profession.
"The railroads of the country are
fighting trespassers tooth and nail.
but they are by no means successiul
through lack Of cooperation from the
communities through which they
operate.
"The general practice is for each
town to pass the tramps along 10
avoid the expense of keeping them.
When the railroad police make ar
rests. they may obtain conviction, but
sentences are suspended, providing
the tramp will get out Of town, and
he has to go back to the railroad. II
every community would give long
sentences, all the tramps would be
either in Jail, reformed, or out OF the
country. At present there may not be
ADEQUATE means for taking care OF the
whole army, but certainly a very great
number could be locked up"

of town. If he had been following me,
instead of Carucci-the very pos
sibility made me angry. And just then
Doctor Reid walked In at the door.
There was another man with him, a
very large man with broken nose
and what is known among the sport
ing fraternity as cauliflower ear.
They stood together, looking about
them for a moment; and l bowed my
head upon my folded arms. did not
want to talk to Doctor Reid in that
place-or in any place, for that mat
ter. When l looked up again, they
were seated at Carucci's table, and
the waiter was bringing up drinks for
all three. They seemed to be talking
with the greatest good fellowship.
Reid, I noticed, barely tasted his
drink, and watched his chance to pour
the rest with certain medical ac-
curacy into the cuspidor beneath the
table. smiled to see how pleased he
was with the way he way carrying
off perfectly evident part. Every
minute or so he would reach forth
his hand and give the Italian couple
Of staccato pats in the region of his
shoulder pulling back his hand
quickly, and beaming tic while
with a radiance of stacy friend
illness. The giant with him
took things more as matter Of
course. He wasted none of his drink,
but drained each glass as soon as it
was set before him, leaning between
whites with mighty elbows upon the
table, his great disfigured hands
grading his brutal face. He seemed
the last person in the world that a
man Of Reid's type would sit at table
with. Perhaps Reid had reason to be
afraid of Carucci and had employed
this fellow as sort of bodyguard.
Another human mockery was upon
the stage; tall, scrawny creature
with some remnant Of good looks and
a voice that retained a surprising
sweetness and charm. She sang unhap.

piano, where the sot on the stool
tangled his notes tirelessly. Carucci
was getting very drunk; he was COM
