human. We can learn that he bet on horse
races and at cards, that be loved to dance,
that he delighted to bask In the smiles of
charming women, also that he bad a violent
temper. Others may prefer to hear the
story ot the cherry tree.
"All this may be true, but neither side
of him should be mads the groundwork of
the history of the true George Washington.
If we are to be hero worshipers we must
be careful not to be idolaters. In canon
ltlng our heroes for virtues they do not
possess we endeanger their name and
fame.
"George Washington was not a student,
a great reader nor a scholar, but he was
a soldier, a statesman and a patriot. His
pen was not facile nor of lyrio grace,
yet he could entwine the Stars and Stripes
with the miles ot France over Torktown.
"Excessive devotion to science, literature
and art sometimes tends to the develop
ment of acumen rather than breadth.
Washington waa natural and, therefore,
not outrageously virtuous. There have been
wiser men, and yet he shut out of his heart
grief, fear, malice, covetouauess and effem
inacy, and, therefore, he had virtue that
we caa not only admire, but can Imitate.
"We should be thankful for the true
George Washington, with mortal loves and
paaalons, not only worthy of Imitations,
but also Imltable. Through all the track
less years he wore the white flower of a
blameless life. His heart was never the
seat of factional disputes, of personal ambi

W. H. Gurley was the third speaker. His
subject was "the Destiny of the Flag.'
Oeoeral Manderson then announced that In
asmuch as the hour was early and General
Mac Arthur had been set to speak on a theme
of Intense Interest to all, he had requested
four gentlemen pressnt to discuss the same

Fire Insurance Profits
Figures taken from a table compiled by
the New York Spectator, the leading in
surance publication ot the country, ahow
that the year 1901 was one of general pros
perity for the fire Insurance companies.
The table Is made up from sworn state
ments filed with the New York Insurance
department, and, while Issued in advance of
any state report, must be accepted as ac
curate. In the compilation 110 American
and thirty-eight foreign fire Insurance com
panies are concerned, and the. totals given
are the totals of their business In the
t rated Slates. All the principal and
early all the minor companies aro con
cerned In the report, but none of mutuals.
During ths year 1901 the 110 American com
panies reporting paid dividends to stock
holders amounting to $6,308,762, on a capi
tal stock of $54,602,875, an Increase of
$21,936 in dividends on a capitalization de
creased by $2,550,000 from 1900. The divi
dend rate for these companies according to
theae figures is a little more than 11.57 per

The total assets of tho 14S companies on
January 1. 1902. la reported as $822,143,170.
Of this amount $75,125,607 la credited to the
thirty-eight foreign companies, leaving
$247,007,563 for the 110 American com

PROVOKES TEMPERANCE PARTY
King- Edward's Atato Visit to Lord
Barton Stirs Tp Prohibi
tum Criticises.
(Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Feb. 22. New York World Ca
blegram Special - Telegram.) King Ed
ward's state visit to Lord Burton, the head
of the great Bass firm, has provoked a
strong protest from the temperance party
on the ground that It gives royal sanction
to the drink traffic. The king really pro
posed the visit as a return compliment to
Baron Burton for placing his splendid
town mansion. Chesterfield bouse, at the
king's disposal free, to entertain royal
visitors during the coronation season.
Mr. and Mrs. George Keppel are Included
In the Burton party. Mr. Keppel returns
from America in a couple of weeks, when
Mrs. Keppel will go on a yachting trip to
the Riviera, where the king will follow
shortly afterward. He may live much of
the time aboard his own new yacht.
premium Income ot the American compa
nies for the year was $114,048,117 and in
1900 It was but $101,350,318, aa increase for
1901 of $12,697,799. During, the year. the
foreign companies collected in America
premiums amounting to $51,244,258, while
during 1900 their Income from premiums
waa but $45,092,202, their share of the in
creased collections during the year being
$6,162,066. The total Income of all the com
panies for 1901 was $177,629,135. Of this'
sum $123,806,406 waa collected by American
and $53,722,729 by foreign companies. This
shows that the American companies col
lected $9,768,088 from other sources than
premiums and the foreign companlea
$2,478,471.
Losses paid in 1901 by all tho companies
are reported at $96,996,932, and for 1900 at
$92,'472,967, ' an Increase for the year in
losses paid of $4,623,965. American compa
nies report losses paid in 1901 at $63,967,991,
and tor 1900 at $63,628,810, an Increase for
the year of but $429,181, while the foreign
companies show losses for 1901 of $33,038,
941 and for 1900 of $28,944,167. an Increase
of $4,094,784 In losses paid for the year.
Total disbursements for the year by the
American companies are given at $113,333,
868 and for the foreign companies at $oL
069.226, a grand total of $164,403,084. This
leaves a balance of total income to be car
ried over Into 1903 ot $13,126,061. American
companies carry $10,472,648 of this and for
eign companies $2,653,603.
Very little analytical examination of
these figures will serve to show that the
demand frr an increase In rates to meet
recent losses in the east ia based more on
a desire to continue earning large dlvi--aends
than the necessity of raUing monay
to meet losses.' The present ratio between
losses paid and premiums collected is greet
enough to meet the demand for Indemnity,

pronounced on prisoners found guilty of
complicity In the Bank of Liverpool frauds.
Thomas P. Goudle, the bookkeeper of the
bank, and Dick Burge. the pugilist, were
each sentenced to ten years' Imprisonment,
and F. T. Kelly, a bookmaker of Bradford,
and Stiles, another bookmaker, each re
ceived two years' sentences. Counsel had
previously announced that Lawrie Marks,
the Amer caa bookmaker who Is supposed
to have committed suicide; James Mances,
another American bookmaker, who is also
missing, and Burge bad 91,000 ot the
bauk's, ot which amount 74,000 had been
recovered, Burge having returned 30,000,
while 12,000 and 24,000 stood to the
credit of Marks and Mances respectively In

How the Companies Prospered

If this is not sufficient, take another
comparison:
Total premiums collected $165,292,375
Total
disbursements,- including
dividends
164,408,084
Excess of premiums over all dis
bursements $ 889,291
It may bo argued that the amount paid
for dividends Is not great when the total
assets of the companies aro taken Into
consideration. The dividends paid are sim
ply calculated on the capital stock, which
in case of the American companies in
volved In the present report is $64,602,875.
On this sum $6,808,762 was paid last year,
or a rate of Interest on stock holdings
amounting to a little more than 11.67 per
cent. Total assets of American companies
aro $247,007,563. Deduct from this the
amount ot capital stock of the companies,
and we have a showing of accumulated
earnings which amounted on January 1,
1903. to $182,604,688. These assets are sup
posed to be a gsuranty that the company
will pay Its losses. As a matter of fact,
they are merely an accumulation of excess
earnings, the premiums collected being
sufficient to pay all loeses, tbs expenses ot
management and ths dividend of nearly 13
per cent on the capital stock. ,
If the asseta of ths companies really
represented an lnveatment oa part of the
stockholders, the Income is still sufficient
to pay handsome returns. Here are the
figures on this point for the 148 companies
Involved for 1901:

PLANNING TO SAVE INTEREST
Legal Obstacles in Way of School Board's
Economical Scheme.
WILL TRY TO ARRANGE WITH BANKS
Employes Will Find It Difficult, How
ever, to Observe Recommendation
that Wnrrnots Be Cashed
at Particular Places. .
There was a meeting ot the finance com
mittee ot the Board ot Education Friday
night to consider the proposed reduction of
Interest on warrants. It was suggested by
one of the members that the amount of
money due on salaries be Issued in one
warrant, that warrant to be Issued to a
bank which would allow a rebate ot 2 per
cent on the 7 per cent Interest allowed by
law and tho employes to be paid their
salaries by checks upon that bank. This
proposition was submitted to the attorney
of the board for aa opinion and ha replied
that the plan could not be legally operated,
as the law requires a warrant for each ac
count allowed.
It was then suggested that the treasurer
pay the warrants from any funds on hand
and turn the paid warrants over to the
bank, which will advance money to re
plenish the funds from which the warrants
were originally paid, the warrants to be
redeemed and cancelled when the specific
funds for the purpose are available. The
attorney vetoed this plan, saying that ac
cording to law when the treasurer had
once paid a warrant It waa Ipse facto can
celled and could not be deposited as col
lateral. ,
Theae two plans having been declared
Impossible under the law the committee
decided to make an agreement with tho
banks to recommend that !! employes sell
their warrants to the banks which agree
to accept less than 7 per cent interest.
Plan not Kanelly Clear.
"There is one difficulty with this plan,"
said a member ot the board, "and that Is
that many of the employee discount tbelr
warrants before the salary Is earned. It
seems impossible for them to live from
month to month on the money they receive.
They get behind and seem to make no ef
fort to catch up. Ths result is that they
patronise tbe salary loan companies, sell
their warrants at a heavy discount early
in the month and when the warrants are
paid the money goea to the loan companies.
Tbe basks cannot do this kind of business,
and many of the employee will find It diffi
cult to respond to the recommendation of
the board In this respect.
"It would be a good thing for these em
ployes in tbs long run If tbe board should
adopt stringent messures in this respect.
Tbey now lose a largs part of their aalary
by discounts. I hsvs seriously thought ot
Introducing a resolution to ths effect that
no assignment of salary by employes would
be reoognlsed by tbe board and that con
tinued attempts to assign salaries would be
cause for dismissal. Such a resolution
might appear hard upon soms deserving
people at first, but It would simply mean
that the employes are to be protected from
themselves and from the Baylotka who
profit by their desire for money before it
la earned.

fend the title to the champtonHhlp against
anyliody in the world, but nobody can
force me to nVht until I am ready, Hnd I
think the public will let me know when- It
Is time to light again," said Young Corbett
tonight as he read the Associated I'ress
bulletin announcing the vlutory of Terry
McOovern at Loulxvllle.
' I am glad McUovern won. I think It
disposes of his claim that ha was not In
condition wlinn he fought me at Hartford
last Thanksgiving, l beat him in two
rounds and he claimed thttt he was not la
condition. Now it takes him fifteen rounds
to put Dave Sullivan out snd Sullivan was
never better than a fourth-rater. 1 beat
McOovern fair and was tho first man who
ever made him break ground and i can do
it again any time, but 1 urn not going tu
be forced to fight."
