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.

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 tlons, of petty strife." Destlay of too Flag. W. H.

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 toplo in five-minute speeches. It was "Our Interests In the East.' Gilbert M. Hitch eock opened the Informal debate.

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.

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, aa will bo seen by these figures for the year 1901: Premiums collected $16u 2.T75 Louses paid 96.9K6.Kii2 Excess of premiums collected... $ 6b.295.443 Per cent of premiums collected returned to policy hulders 68.61 Per rent of premiums left to pay oI 44 tnsnagrmanW tUrldenvW , ,.v to the sale of these lace $2.50 Curtains $1.39 pair All the ruffled curtains, witU lace and insertion, all the ruffled swiss curtains and all the fish net curtains, that gener- -A ally sell at M -V $2.50 and $3 JJ pair, go at, pair will receive the first showing tomorrow. $39.00, $49.00 Women1 s Tailor Made Suits In a vast array ot the new spring styles in Box, Blouse and Norfolk effects made of cheviots, camel's hair cloth, seballnea, coverts, etc., all colors high flounce effects; moire, braid and taffeta trim med very unusual qual ities, on sale for $12.50 Tailored Dress Skirtsot the new etamines, wool sacking and bascot cloth made and trimmed In the most fas cinating styles new serpentine shape.

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 a bank. Kelly and Stiles had divided 76,. 000 between themselves and Kelly had now restituted 17,000 and Stiles 500. How the Companies Prospered During the Year 1901. eto 41 39 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: Total Income for the year $177.5135 Total disbursements for the year.. 164.4u3,04 Kxcess of income for the year..$ 13,126,061 Total assets of all companies 324,143,170 Total net Income, Including divi dends paid by American com- tmnles 19.434,13 Per cent of income on asaieta 6.0 Six per cent net ia usually considered a good return on money Invested.

L. BRANDEIS & SONS 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.
