Flro losses during 1001 were unu
unl and the blow to the lire insurance
companies was severe, as for some
yenrs past. In fact, lire insurance
hns been as unprofitable as life In
surance has been prosperous and
growing. In the Inst three years fire
Insurance losses have aggregated
over $-100,000,000, $152,000,000 of it In
the last year alone.
Many Women lluy IiiNitrnnce.
Women are more and more patron
izing life insurance, nnd many of the
companies maintain a woman's de
partment, presided over by a female
superintendent. The statistics indi
cate that business women and women
of great, wealth are the principal pa
trons. Of course, this does not have
reference to 'industrial" insurance,
In which the poorer fit mi lies are so
extensively interested.

now the record price of $80,000 has

Secretory Long Says Comments on
Prize Bounty Are Unjust.
Tim Himniin-Sclilty Awnril Wa Mado by
tlm Court of Claim ami Wan OuMldo
tlin Navy Detmrtinont'H
I'nwiir.
Washington, .Ion. 7. Secretory
hong has addressed to Senator Knuto
Nelson, of Minnesota, a long letter
defending the navy deportment
against, what is declared to be un
friendly criticism in connection with
the distribution of prize money and
bounty.
Touching the claim of Hear Admiral
Hnnipson for bounty at Santiago, the
secretary says that the distribution
was made under a decree of the court
of claim" which he eltes and from
which no appeal was taken. He fur
Ihclr points out that, under the prize
laws, the comniander-iu-chief of the
fleet, is entitled to his "one-twentieth
of bounty by virtue of his position
as eonimander-in-ehief, whether he is
personally present during the en
gagement or not." Says the secretary:
"As commaiider-iu-eliief Kenr Ad
miral Sampson would therefore under
the law have been entitled to his shore
of the bounty for the destruction of
the Spanish ships at Santiago if ho
had been on the north shore of Cuba
at the time. This was the law, for
which the navy department is no wise
responsible." On this point, the sec
retary soys that the department Itself
was the first to realize the inequal
ities of this law and to make the
recommendation which led to Its ap
peal, so that, "a rather amusing
feature of the attacks made upon
the navy deportment," as the secre
tary puts it, "is that the administra
tion is blamed more than two years
after It hod cured the evil."
WOULD REMOVE STUEFER.

llo Convened to Deal with tlm Statu
Tri'iifttiry Mutter
Lincoln, Neb., .Ion. 7. It. develops
that the delay of (low Savage In start
ing on his trip to New Orleans was
caused by the receipt, of a letter from
W. G. Sears, speaker of the house in
the last legislature, advising him to
remove State Treasurer Steufer. The
request of Speaker Sears is based on
the alleged irregularities of Treasurer
Stuefer in bond purchases which
formed the basis of sensational
charges and a demand in some quar
tern for his impeachment. Speaker
Scars' letter, it is asserted, nuggested
in the event the governor did not See
fit to remove Stuefer that he call a
special session of the legislature to
take action. Gov. Savage and the
state, officers generally stoutly defend
Stuefer. No action towards removal
will be taken until Gov. Savage's re
turn from the south.

A Scholar Hut No lloroemiiii.
Chief Game Warden Itcutinger was
telling a story a few days ago about
a man whose judgment was exceed
ingly bnd, despite the fuct that ho"
wns a scholar of many years' thor
ough training. This man and his wife
had determined on a visit to relatives
in a nearby city and expected to be
gone for three days. The man and
wife had bought a horse not long
since, but only knew in a general way
how it should be cared for. The
question that presented itself to them
was what to do with the horse. On
the morning thnt they depnrtcd tho
husbnnd put nine feeds, which includ
ed hay, oats and corn in the manger.
Then the scholar placed three buckets
of water in the stall. He figured that
the horse would regulate his eating,
but he didn't. He ate it all as fast as
he could. Any horseman can tell the
reader the result. Columbus Dis

Love of display induced a certain
mayor, who was also an admiral, to
write to the admiralty to ask wheth
er, on the occasion of some local func

him to wenr his municipal robes over
his uniform. "My lords," said his
royal highness the duke of Coburg,
who told me the story, entered into
the humor of the situation by reply
ing gravely that: "My lords, after
giving the most careful consideration
to the most important question sub
mitted to my lords by the right wor
