insurance Business in 1893.
‘ The fire losses in the United States
in 1893 were larger than for any year
since 1871, footing up the enormous to-
tal of $140,000,000.

In spite of the consequent drain on
the funds of the insurance companies,
however, few have abandoned the busi-
ness. But we are rapidly approaching
a condition where, unless better means
of extinguishing fire can be introduced
and maintained in many of our cities,

. rates will have to be increased. A busi-

ness cannot always be continued at a.

loss. The turning point must come
some time or the business must of ne-
cessity be relinquished.

It seems a worthy suggestion, there-
fore, to property holders generally,

that instead of making it necessary to

increase the rates for the benefit of the
companies, additional apparatus for the
protection of property from fire losses
be installed by our city governments
and paid for by a slight increase in tax.
ation.

It is wiser to pay a few mills more

' per thousand in city taxes and have less

to pay in insurance premiums.
There is another important reform

’ that all honest insurance companies

should enter upon, before increasing
their already burdensome rates of pre-
miums. That is to never insure one
penny more than they expect to pay in
event of a loss. It would prevent a
large percentage of fire losses, if in-
surance companies would unite in a de-
termination to allow no piece of prop-
erty to be insured over its actual value.

Jealousy of the American Flag.

There is great complaint among the
bankers and business men of New York
because the British government per-
sists 7in sending mail matter to this
country by the slowest ships out of
Queenstown, apparently for no other
reason, says the Washington Post, than
that they fly the English flag, whereby
important correspondence is often from
one to two days behind the mail that is
dispatched via Southampton direct.

Inasmuch as mails from the United
States to England are sent by the fast-
est ships without particular regard to
the flag they carry, we can" see no rea-
son Why the British government should
not do the same thing in this direction.
Not only should due regard be had for
the principle ‘of reciprocity in this mat—
ter, but it would be greatly to the ad-
vantage ot business interests on both
sides.

It is quite as essential‘ to the London
merchant to have the speediest possible
mail delivery in New York as it is for
the New York merchant to reach his
London correspondent by the most di-
rect and expeditious route, and it
makes no difference to either whether
the mails are forwarded by English or
American ships. It looks now as though
there was more or less jealousy of the
fast American liners at Southampton
at the bottom of the trouble, but upon
a proper presentation of the case the
English government can probably be
induced to so arrange its contracts as
to give the best service to the general
American and British public bioth from

Southampton' and Queen‘stofnfr 11,1559
is what the United States is doing aiid

it is fairly entitled to the same consid-
eration. It goes without saying that
the fastest steamers should be employed
to perform the service; ’

TheNaramake Club Hold an Inter-

Good Sport Promised-Members in

Naramakc fish and gameclub met at
the rooms of C. B. Coolidge on Main
street, last evening. Vicepresidcnt 0..
N. Wood called the meeting to order
and Secretary Samuel Lynes read the
minutes of the last meeting, which
were approved. The committee ap-
pointed to purchase quail reported that
they had secured seven dozen and only
two had died. They reported the birds
as being in good condition and appear-
ance. Four new members were admit-
ted to membership. A motion to re
consider the vote whereby the .by-laws
were amended so as to prohibit any
member from fishing or hunting for
profit was laid upon the table. and a
resolution adopted requiring all pro-
posed amendments to the bylaws to 119
over for one meeting before action.
The game committee who have the put—
ting out of the purchased quail were
authorized to select an assistant from
the club members. They were also re-
quested to report to theelub' at the
next meeting. the locality in which the
birds were liberated. As the club is
liable to receive notice at any time of
the shipment of trout, for which they
have applied, the vice-president was
authorized to procure the necessary
cans for their reception and have them
ready when the fish arrive._ A large
number of trout were last spring placed
in the different brooks hereabouts and
a list of those brooks which had been
stocked was read for the benefit of the
members, who will try their rodsion
April 1, when the law on trout fishing
is off. It was proposed to _make trap
shooting a part of the organization and
it is very likely that before long grounds
will be secured and the sport entered
into. There are a number of expert
wing shots among the members and
considerable interest was manifested 1n
the proposed project. Mr. P. G. San-
ford, of Saugatuck, presented the club
with a number of copies of the trap
shooting rules of the American Shoot-
ing Association, which w111 prove of
great benefit to
shooting is made part of the spmt.
The club has become a pronounced
success, and has a membership of about
150 from this city, South N orwalk, East
Norwalk,Westport,Wilton and Darien.
It is the purpose of the club to stock
the streams in the towns in which the
members reside. Thousands of trout
have already bicn placed, and thous-
ands more of he speckled beauties
will be put out this year. This .is the
first time that quail have been pur
chased for stocking the fields, but the
club expects to'purchasef-‘more each
year until the now almost extinct “Bob
White ” is again plentiful, so that the
lovers of the gun may once more enjoy
a day’s hunt without having to go into
an adjoining state to procure game.
The state laws on fish1ng_and hunt-
ing have been amended until they are
very strict, and each member-writ see
to it that all violators are reported, and
a committee of the club will make it

coated to the full extent of the law.

As the trout law is off on April first,
the members of the club hope to have
good fishing, as the large number of
trout already placed in the several
streams hereabouts will have grown to
a sufficient size to make good sport for
the angler. The next meeting of the
club will be held on Wednesday, April
4, and a number of new. members. will
be admitted. Anyone Wishing to 10m,
and take advantage of the-benefits of
the club, can do so by handing in their
names to the secretary, Samuel Lynes,
before the next meeting in April.

How He Handles Them.

The officials of Fairfield county have
a very good record in keeping all the
prisoners committed to their charge.
The most' desperate of criminals have
been confined in the countyqail and
have been taken to states prison with-
out a single one escaping. The other
night Jailer Scofield was asked about
the actions of desperate criminals.

He said that in many places escapes
are made, but in Bridgeport the men
are closely watched and given no op.
portunity to escape. Every movement
of a noted criminal is watched. He‘ is
placed in a position where he cannot
escape,‘and the officials have no trou-
ble. . Mr. Scofield said : “When I have
a hard case to take to court I generally
shackle him to a tramp. If he gets
away he must take the tramp With him.
Onecau’t run away without the other.
Desperate men are heavily ironed when
they are taken to states prison, and are
closely watched. Sometimes I have
ton on a chain. My revolver is always
in working order. If one runs ten
must. If I drop one the other nine
must drag him.”

“The only way that prisoners can es.
cape is to break or unlock the hand-
cuffs. We look out for that and we have
very little trouble. We have appli-
ances at the jail that make it impos-
sible for a prisoner to escape. We
could shackle a desperate prisoner’s
hands behind him. Then we could put
leg irons on him. If necessary we could
put a ball and chain on him. We are
never obliged to resort to those extreme
measures, however.

“We always have criminals that must
be watched. They use all sorts of
schemefs to fool us. Some times a man
will close his fist when I am putting on
the handcuffs. They do this to get
them on loose in hopes of slipping the
irons. I always put them so tight on
these fellows that they squeal. I make
them open their fist. .

Saloon—Keepers Make Damaging
Statements. ‘

Prosecuting Liquor Agent Honuec-
ker of South Norwalk has been con-
fronted by serious charges, and it is re-
ported that the Law and Order league
will make an effort to have him dis-
barred for unprofessional conduct, says
the Bridgeport Standard. The county
commissioners are also up in arms
against the liquor agent, and have
decided to request his resignation With-
out delay. _-

Attorney Honnecker was appomted
liquor agent by the county commission-
ers shortly after the Democrats se-
cured control of the board. Attorney
Toomey of Bridgeport, is supposed
to have charge of the entire county,
but Howard Taylor was placed in
charge of Danbury and Attorney Hon-
neckcr was instructed to take charge
of Norwalk and South Norwalk.

Recently Agent Honnecker thought
that Stamford saloon-keepers were en-
joying tau much of a good thing, and
he concluded there would be some
money for him in a raid upon the
liquor dealers of that town. Mr. Hon-
neckcr said nothing to the county com-
missioners of his purpose, but, taking
a few “spotters,” he visited Stamford
and soon had evidence against 12 or 15
saloon-keepers there.

But if reports subsequently made to
the county commissioners are true, Mr.
Honnecker was more considerate of
his own profits than he wasof having
the license laws observed. Of the
number detected warrants were issued
for the arrest of onl a half dozen.
These were prosecute in the regular
way. There was quite a stir in Stam-
ford at the time. but after the excite-
ment had passed the county commis-
sioners were informed that a number
of saloon-keepers against whom evi-
dence had been obtained had the com-
plaints suppressed by quietly paying
the prosecuting agent to let the matter
drop.

The commissioners sent for one of the
saloon keepers who was making this so-
rious charge against the liquor agent,
and asked him concerning it. The liq-
uor dealer insisted that it was true. He
said that he received a notice from the
liquor agent, requesting him to call at
his office. He a out there, and Mr.Hon-
necker told him he had evidence that
the saloon keeper had been selling after
hours and on Sunday, and that unless
the case was settled at once a warrant
would be issued for his arrest. The sa-
loon keeper said Mr. Honnecker told
him he would‘let the matter drop it the
saloon keeper paid him $63. Realizing
that the affair would cost him much
more than that amount if he were ar-
rested, the saloon keeper said he paid
the sum asked without any further ar-
gument, and that was the last he heard
of the Case. '. .

The county treasury had only receiv-
ed the fines imposed upon those who
had been arrested,and the commission-
ers therefore decided to make an inves-
tigatiOn. If Mr. Honnecker intended
to make money at'this rapid rate the
county commissioners wanted to know
it. They accordingly sent for the South
Norwalk liquor agent and told him of
the charges which had been made against

1m. '

Mr. Honnecker appeared to be very
indignant and offered to resign at once.
But the commissioners told him that
was not the proper course to take if he
were innocent. Serious charges had
been preferred against him, and the
commissioners had simply given" him a
chance to explainthe matter if he could,
before they proceeded with their inves-
tigation. Mr. Honnecker reiterated
that the charges were unfounded, but
that he would resign sooner than have
any trouble.

The commissioners made a thorough
investigation in Stamford,and after lis-
tening to the testimony submitted by
various saloon keepers of that town,de-
cided to ask Mr. Honnecker to hand
them his resignation.

This is all they intend to do in rela-
tion to the matter. There were eight
saloon keepers in Stamford who testi-
fied that they each had paid the liquor
agent $63 to suppress the complaihts he
said he had against them.

It is now reported that the officers of
the state council of the Law and Order
league in New Haven, have been in-
formed of the trouble in which Mr.Hon-
necker is involved, and that they will
bring the matter before the Fairfield
county bar, with a request that the liq-
uor agent be prevented hereafter from
practicing law in this county.

Attorney Honnecker is reported as
being sick at his home on Wall street
to-day with a doctor in attendance and
a statement from him has not been ob-
tained regarding these very serious
charges. It is hoped that they are un-
true and that Mr. Honnecker will be
able at the right time to clear himself,
but from the manner in which several
caseshere in town have been quietly
settled we fear that there is trouble
ahead for Mr. Honnecker.

able to take drives with her father
every day. On Tuesday last she was

another operation, which was done
Wednesday morning. The patient ral.

of her condition, but has strong hopes
of her ultlmate full recovery of health.

ON THEAVENUE.

One of the curious evolutions of the
day is the employment of the shell
cameos resembling those affected thirty
or forty years ago as chatelaines. ' The
cameo is frequently surrounded, in the
case of expensive specimens, with an
oval or circle of preciousstones.

The following Chinese legend ac-
counts for the invention of the fan in a
rather ingenious fashion: The beauti-
ful Kan Si, daughter of a powerful
mandarin, was assisting at the feast
of lanterns, when she became Over-
powered by the heat. She was com-

 

-it was illegal to expose her face, she
held her mask before it and gently
fluttered it to coolherself. The court:
ladies present noticed it and in an

' instant two other ladies were waving
their masks. .This was the birth of the

fan,which to-day takes the place of the
mask.

bright visions that you cannot spare
time for mother. Her eyes will glad-
den with happiness over any little at-
tention; her heart will o’erflow at 3 ca-
ress given, and your own great reward
will come in the memory of the fend

portunity for affectionate display on
your part has passed aWay forever;
There is nothingthat can sting so bit-
terly as the reCollection of what we
might have been to some clear one.
Do not let this gnawing bitterness have-

the dearest friend you will ever have is
with you, fill her life and your own
with present and future joy by petting
her until even her mother heart-feels
content.

The wise housewife is she‘who would

,rather dispense with a reception room

and, have a sewing room - than vice
versa. The sewing room does not need
to be large. It must not contain car-
pets or upholstered ' furniture.‘_ The
floor should be stained and varnished,
so that the daily brushing up fmay be
easily accomplished. There should be
books on the wall, from whichthc
piecebags should hang. Several shelves
are necessary, where boxes containing
buttons, trimmings, findings, patterns
and the like should be kept. A lap-
board, an armless rocking chair, a dress
form and a big closet for unfinished
work'are other necessaries. The ma-
chine should be placed in a strong
light, and their should be a long mir-
ror, in which the “hang” of a skirt
may be viewed with case. .

One must be very levell‘headed in-
deed not to betempted beyond their

of spring and summer loveliness that
are now on view in the shops. In com-
paris’onwith" the price one must pay.
for winter fabrics, the few cents a yard
for challies, organdies, cotton crepes
and ginghams seem almost nothing,
and there is where the danger comes
in, for the small sum paid out fbr the
goods is only a tithe of the expense
that you. drift into imperceptibly when
you start to buy laces and ribbons for
trimmings.

lier than in years past and that is giv-‘
mg them the very highest praise, for
every summer they appear to be as
pretty as possible; yet when the next
twelve months roll around thereis an
added beauty that causes one to marvel
at the wonderful skill of the maker. ’
