FIRE ON Ia TOURA|NE
TO Be INVESTIGATED
Passengers Landed at Havre Ap-
parently None the Worse For
Experience
BY Associated Press

Havre, March "a rigid inquiry all
OF the fire at sea on board the French
line steamer La Touraine which dock
ed here at 4 o'clock. yesterday after
noon and landed safely all her passen-
gers. Admiral Charlier, of the minis
try of Marine, and Director Duorol of
the Compagnie Generate Trans-Atlan-
tique, boarded tho vessel upon her ar
rival and started the investigation.
The passengers apparently were
none the worse for their thrilling eX-
perience. The fire, which was con-
fined to one of the holds was extin-
guished at midnight Sunday and the
last stage of the voyage was COM
pleted without incident.
Life belts were distributed among
the passengers and the boats were pre-
pared for instant use as soon as the
flames were discovered but at no time
was there any real danger.
Captain Caussin told the story of the
fire after he had taken his vessel safe
ly to her dock
"The fire was discovered at a. M,
Saturday, March g." he said. 1T was
in the base of one of the ventilators
in the boilerroom. Heavy smoke found
in the boilerroom sought to eXtinguish
the blaze, which was not serious, in
itself, turned my attention to other
parts of the ship.
at this moment one of the night
watch reported the hearing of crack
ling flames forward. l ordered all the
crew to their stations and as the shir
was in mist | gave directions to stor
the vessel in order that might leave
tho bridge for the scene of the blaze
Through holes made in the partitions
we obtained view of the fire. Sunday
morning, the 7th, we had mastered
the blaze and the danger was past"
The ship shows no external sign oi
the fire.

President Garfield's assassination and

The world had waited q long time
to be relieved from the drudgery OF
type. For 432 years after Gutenberg
printed the first book with movable
types there was no improvement in
the mechanics OF composition. The
process Of typefounding was improved,
printing methods were improved. men
improved and became constantly more
skilful; but the work OF setting type
remained the ame From cases con-
tanning innumerable separate types
the printers hand extracted letter
by letter the type ne wanted and as
scmbled II letter by letter to compose
the sentences and paragraphs.
The speed that men achieved In
doing this insufferably tedious labor
was remarkable. The accuracy that
they maintained through hours OF
such monotonous and harassing toll
was phenomenal. The excellence OF
composition hat they accomplished
was great. hut all these PROJECTIONS
were reached by the unremitting fight
of the human will against soulless, un-
firing mechanical antagonism.

The United States Supreme Court
says life insurance is not commerce,
hence II cannot be regulated by Con-
gress, hence there never will be uni

Life insurance was 81 popular
as il is to-day, by which l mean the
public generally never before recog-
nized 81 fully its unique service and
value. This is shown by the fact that
many corporations have adopted some
sort of life insurance feature in the
conduct OF their business.
Sometimes II takes the form OF in
surfing the partners to protect the
business: sometimes the corporation
insures its most valuable men in order
TO keep them: sometimes an insur-
ance Is carried IN all the employees.
The fact is recognized that tho

tected and that in many cases this
