THEIR RISK IS NOT GREAT.
HOW INSURANCE MEM REGARD
YELLOW FEVER.
Their Losses During: Epidemics in the
South Verv Small—Typhoid Fever
More to be Feared.
From the Few York Times,
The ravages of yellow fever have hit the
insurance companies who do business in the
south very lightly so far, nor do they ex
pect extraordinary losses from this cause.
From their standpoint, indeed, yellow fever
is not to bo feared as much as other dis
eases. There are only four New York com
panies who have cultivated that section for
business on a definite and extensive system.
They report very trifling losses so far. Dr.
Gillette, of the medical department of the
Mutual Company, ventures the opinion that
the comparative mortality from yellow fever
to date, taking population into account, has
probably been less in Jacksonville than
was the mortality among children from
the heat in this city during the past summer.
Moreover, people who ara able and disposed
to insure their lives are of the more thrifty
class. They are likely to have had some
money laid aside. Little short of necessity
has detained residents of Jacksonville in that
city since yellow fever became epidemic.
The theory is that few who carried life in
surance policies remain there. Those that
have stayed cannot now insure, for tho com
panies issue no policies there at present.
Briefly, the above is the basis of calculation
on the part of the companies. They have
found it a safo basis elsewhere and in former
(■ ulemics.
How far the element of human na'.uree':-
ters into the calculations of the companies
vas illustrated during nil epidemic on the
v est coast of Mexico several years ago. The
large companies had penetrated that coun
try a id had written policies there for im
moiise risks. One New York company alone
had >BOO,OOO in a city witlgpi the infected
district. The epidemic was quite as severe
as any on record. But not a dollar of in
surance had to bo paid. Those who had in
sured got away, as it wa3 expected that they
would. The people who died carried no in
surance. That experience furnished the
companies with an argument for
the establishment and continuance of
offices in the principal cities of
the southern states. Other reasons also
appeared for this stop. Tho restrictions im
posed by quarantine and generally im
proved sanitary conditions throughout the
sections in which fever had flourished, of
fered potent inducements for northern ven
tures. Accordingly the Mutual, the Equi
table, tho Manhattan and tho New York
Life company began to put out new linos for
southern business. They feel well satisfied
with the results, and will be ready when
ever the epidemic shall have passed to re
sume operations In Jacksonville or any other
place tuat may bo afflicted now or in the
near future.
“Insurance men who have looked into the
subject,” said Dr. Gillette, “believe that the
time has passed for extraordinary losses in
the south from yellow fever or any other
disease. Plagues no longer run over an
entire country. With the continued en
forcement of rigid quarantine the time will
soon come when there will be no more
yellow fever in the south, except sporadic
cases. Quarantine will narrow the area of
the disease and eventually drive it out. I
can remember when we had yeilow fever
every year in New York. That no longer
hapeus, for quarantine has kept us free
from it. In the south the people used to
organize for yellow fever, not to keep it out,
but to care for it. With the regularity of
the hot season cases were brought into the
country from Havanu, where it is endemic,
find as regularly the fever became more or
less rampant. The rich usuully ran away
from it, but there was no general exodus as
now. On the contrary, the common classes
had an idea that it was one of the necessary
evils of life, aid it lacked the terrors that it
now possesses for communities, although of
course it was dreaded. In those days stay
at-home clubs were organized to provide
care, attendance, and other aid. One of
the cemeteries at Mobile is known as the
Cemetery of the Stay-at-Home Club. Only
those who were members of the club are
buried there. I mention this cemetery be
cause it is well known. But everywhere
the stay-at-homes took care of each other
and of their dead, and were a recognized
element in almost every Southern com
munity within the usual area of the
scourge.
“All that now is changed. Many who
staid at home in the old days did so from
choice. Now there are few such cases.
Those who can get away do it. The class
who insure are usually able to get away.
They don’t join any stay-at-home club. The
companies are protected by these condi
tions. They count upon them when they
seek business in that section. We are con
vinced from opf experiences that there
ere diseases more to be dreaded
than yellow fever by insurance com
panies. The Mutual Company has lost
only two cases, so far as can lie learned.
Neither case has yet been reported through
our agency there, our information coming
from the newspaper lists. One of the poli
cies was an old one for $2,000. Tho other
was for $25,000, and was taken out only last
vt ar. It belonged to a large dealer in meats
nud provisions at Jacksonville. There has
been a great demand lately for the articles
which he sold, and I suppose the temptation
to stay was t o great for him.”
An experience <>f much the same tenor
was told by Mr. Burdge, who has charge of
the loss department of the New York Life
Insurance Company: “We have done busi
ness in the south for forty years,” he said,
“and we have very little fear of loss to our
company from yellow fever. That disease
is one of the least troublesome to us. We
never worry over a yellow fever epi
demic. Indeed, we cannot see that
there is any special risk in rea
sonably cautious insurance in that
section of the country. We will not
insure a man’s life down there unless
he is acclimated by a seven years’ residence
in the country, or unless he has had yellow
fever. Our policies in northern risks are so
worded that a holder of them who intends
to go south must get a permit from us. or
go<r'. at his own peril. Should a visitor
*'h!n the noi !h go s >uth and get yellow
fever, neglect to get a permit iu advance
would annul his policy In case he died.
During an epidemic we would not insure
any one in that country, nor would we
grant a permit to a northern man to go
down there under nnv circumstances.
“There are two excellent reasons why
people who insure with us aro not likely to
lmve yellow fever. One is that we take
only selected lives, and the other is that our
company does not my enough to agents to
nuke it nn object lor thotn to seek small
policies. The consequence is that most of
our policy holders, especially those who
have been secured through agencies,
are meu of moans who carry large
amounts upon their lives. It is
the history of opidemics that they
attack the poorer classes mainly. If there
'sere an epidemic in this city it wou and he
likely to spread faster and work greater
havoc in the poi t sections of the city than
in the sections inhabited by the more pros
perous. Ttiat is true of epidemics every
" hero, and, from what 1 have just said, it is
clear that we need have little fear of an
outbreak of yellow fever in the south.
“During the epidemic of yellow fever
which swept the south in 1818 our losses
were certainly within SSO,OtX), although we
had policies placet in Memphis, in New
Orleans and in other cities in the infected
district. Yesterday Dr. Palmer, who is one
of the most eminent young physicians of
the south, and who live* at Louisville, called
Vre. and during a conversation we hail he
►mho of the action of his city In ope ling
it* doors to refugees, and was quite posi
tive that no harm could possible result to
the health of Louisville from that act. Ho
laid lie was there during the epidemic of
8878, when the doors of the city were also
thrown open to refugees, ana when the
Indus brought dally multitudes of peop e
Jrwa all over the fever #
“It was altogether probable that many of
those visitors were already infected, but al
though thousands of them r maitted in the
city until the epidemic had passed, there
were only twenty-five cases of yellow fever
develops.
“In the insurance business we are com
pelled to study statistics of health from all
over the country. Ttie result of very close
attention in this respect has convinced us
that we have much more to fear from a
spring crop of pneumonia than from all the
yellow fever with which the south has ever
been afflicted. The reports from Jackson
ville show that out of 2,000 cases of yellow
fever there have been 200 deaths.
I do not believe that any
sane man would venture au opinion
that the proportion of deaths w ould
be so small m 2,000 cases of pneumonia.
Now, pneumonia is a disease which is very
liable to be inflicted upon the class of peo
ple who insure their lives, while quite the
coutrary is the case in regard to yellow
fever. Typhoid fever is also a disease
which insurance people fear much more
than they do vellow fever. Beginning in
July, 1887, and continuing into last winter,
there was a run of typhoid fever over a
belt 200 miles wide and extending south
and east from Duluth which was simply
appalling. It went through Minnessota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia
and then took spurts eastward into Dela
ware and south westward into Texas. In
July, 1887, seven policy holders of this com
pany died of typhoid lever, five of whom
lived in Illinois. In August of the same
year we lost six of our policy holders from
typhoid fever. Either of those months
brought us greater losses from ty
phoid fever chan we suffered from
yellow fever losses during the
epidemic of of 1878. If there had beeu five
cases of yellow fever in Illinois in July,
1887, the entire state would have run wild
How many cases of typhoid fever there
wore, I do not know, being interested only
In learning how many of our policy holders
died of that disease.' No one will remem
ber, howover, that the prevalence of
typhoid in Illinois in July, 1887,
nude any great impression u ion the coun
try. At any rate, it did not serve to
excite alarm beyond the communities Imme
diately affected. For insurance purposes it
impressed a lesson already learned—that
typhoid fever is very apt to attack those
who insure their lives, lu regard to pneu
monia, there is no need of giving figures. I
will only say that if I were to read to you
from our book of losses for the spring
months of any year it would startle you.
“During the present epidemic we have
had two losses from yellow fever. One was
on the policy of the liev. John R. Sharp,
formerly of Gainesville, who wont to Jack
sonville, and was there taken with fever
and died. He was insured for $2,500. The
other was of a mau iu Tampa. His
policy was net large enough to make
the total amouut of our losses more than
SIO,OOO. Neither of these persous was a
resident of Jacksonville, but both of thorn
belonged in the south, and were thoroughly
acclimated. We sustained a small loss In
July from the death of a telegraph opera
tor from pernicious remittent fever at
Coftondale, Fla. That was not a case
< f yellow fever, but it may go in the Flor
ida list.
“We look upon yellow fever as we do
upon any other epidemic. The cleanlier
class of the community is not the class that
usually suffers most from a scourge. There
arc just as heavy risks, we think, in writ
ing insurance in northern oommuui ies,
which are subject to visitations of small
pox, as there is in going into the south for
business for our companies. The figures
I have given you show that iu the
insurance business typhoid fever is much
more to be dreaded than yellow fever.
Pneumonia is also a much more dangerous
foe for the insurance companies. Viewed
simply from the standpoint of business, we
can better afford to go through a yellow
fever epidemic than to go through another
storm in this citv like tne blizzard of last
March. Tho blizzard cost the insurance
companies more money than all the epi
demics put together.”
Inquiries elsewhere failed to find any
other companies doing business in this city
who maintained agencies in the yellow fever
districts. The United States Life insurance
Company has an agency at Atlanta, but
was led to take business there only when
satisfied that the country in that section
was thoroughly healthy. It has purposely
avoided going further south for busine-s,
and its officers said yesterday that they would
not under any circurustauces write insur
ance for tho and strict which yellow fever vis
its. The JEtua Life Insurance Company does
business in Virginia and North Carolina,
but refuses to approach the southern coast
or to write insurance for any resident in
that section. Only the Mutual, the Equit
able, the Manhattan and the New York
Life will solicit insurance at Memphis,
although that city is now commonly re
garded as in a very high sanitary condition.
These companies, however, would probably
not withdraw their agencies even were
Memphis liable to such a visitation
as it had during 1878, because the insurance
losses in that city at that time were in
significant The experience of the
fuur companies during the present epidemic
aggregates to date a loss certainly within
$50,000, the Equitable having but two'
losses and the Manhattan none so far as re
ported. The Manhattan still maintains
Florida agencies at Tallahassee and at
Quincy. Officers of these companies do not
tuink that any one can fairly call such loss
as has been sustained extraordinary. They
will feel justified also In reopening their
offices in the fever district as soon as the
epidemic shall have passed.
ENRICHED BY A DOG.
A Fund of $ 1,500 Left for the Care of a
Canine Reverts to a Church.
Prom the Philadeljihia Record.
By the death of a dog at West Chester,
the St. Peter’s Protestant Episcopal church,
of Tredyffryn township, Chester county, is
$1,500 richer. The animal was a pot of
Mrs. Elizabeth Shee, an aged and some
what eccentric lady, who died two years
ago at Wo it Chester, where she had lived.
The la ly left behind her an estate of about
SIO,OOO, which, by her will, was disposed of
in a peculiar maimer. The strangest
clause was the one which provided for the
dog Ryno, as he was called. A fund of
$1,500 was set aside for investment, the in
terest to he spent in the maintenance of
the animal and for his proper burial after
death. Upon his demise the principal was
to revert to the church which the ludv had
attended In her life. Mrs. Slice died early
iu March, 1886, and Squire P ter Carey of
PhcenixviHe, who was named as her execu
tor, provided a home for tho four-footed
heir at the house of a rotative of the lady at
West Chester, where tho dog lived a pam
pered existence until a week ago, when he
died of a complication of diseases, tho
result of age and an overinduigence in the
sweets of life. Tne existence of a moneyed
aristocrat is too much for the average dog,
and Ryno is said to have been a cur very
much below the average, and succumbed to
high living.
According to tho letter of tho will Ryno
was buried not far from the grave of his
dead benefactor. He was wrapped in a
sheet and placed in a box according to tho
last wishes of Mrs. Shee.
Ttie canine had Isirely been placed under
the sod when the church people wrote to
Mr. Carey, the executor, stating that they
were ready to receive the money. He re
plied that the principal is so invested that
it is not likely thut it will be paid oyer be
fore next spring.
The secret of Mrs. Shoe's attachment to
the dog is a mystery, for the animal was a
mongrel of the lowest order. He was surly
and snappish, and devoid of any beauty or
attractions. He had been brought into Mrs.
Shee’s house in an earlystageof puppyhood,
and had always been with her. The dog
died in a spasm, and it is said to have suf
fered greatly for hours before death re
lieved Elm. It was whispered among the
nelgubors that his dogship hung on to life
too long to suit some people. The parties
concerned are all satisiied, however, and
i thsro will be_u£ investigation aito his death.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1888,
LION-TAMER BIDSL'3 YARNS.
Ho Seized a Tiger by the Skin of Its
Back and Carried It Off.
From the Few York Sun.
Tho ima ;ination of even a Barnum must
pale before the collection of marvelous
tales of circus adventure contained in a
book recently issued in France by the fam
ous lion-tamer Bidel, which purports to be
a memoi -of his life, and the accuracy of
which is vouched for, by the way, by excel
lent authority. This is his account of the feat
which first won him distinction, the occa
son being the escape of Atlier, a young
tiger noted for its ferocity.
“Through a half-open window someone
said to me, almost in a whisper, for fear the
tiger would hear him, ‘There he is.’ The
brave fellow’s finger pointed to a black
smith shop, the door wide open and tho in
terior, thanks to the blinding light of day,
seeming to be a gulf of darkness. I rushed
at it. Just at first I could see nothing.
Everything was darkness. This did not go
on for more than ten seconds. 1 got used to
the darkness, and 1 discovered the fugitive
croucaing in a corner, ready to leap upon
me, with foaming throat and flaming eyes.
One second more and he would havesprung,
annihilated, and torn me to pieces. I took
the initiative, and it was I that made the
spring. What howlings, what fury, and
what foaming! This hand-to-hand struggle
in semi-darkness, I breathless, and he furi
ous, did not last long. Otherwise I should
have beeu lost. With both my hands,
which are strong and large, I seized him
by the skin of-bis back; Iliffced him over
my back, and under this enormous weight,
without stumbling, without faltering, I
walked with a firm and even step to the
menagerie. You can imagine that I was
congratulated.”
After this no one will bo surprised to hear
that tiears were, for M. Bidel, a mere mat
ter of r- iutine. Casual m ntion is made of
the time when a black boar atu! a bison that
were in de-porateconflict, and the b ar had
already eaten off the bison’s “hump” when
M. Bidel flung himself upon the beasts, seiz
i iff one by the neck and driving the other
int i its cage. The occasion when an un
fortunate elephant was rescued from ti e
attack of a i uge white bear in the same
fashiou is also mentioned.
Lions were more to M. Bidel’s taste, and
the yarns be spins of his experiences with
them are startling. For instance, once
four lions in a cage had seized a man pass
ing, and being unable to pull him through
the liars of the c ige whole, were biting him
to pieces and getting him inside that way.
M. Bidel, with uo weapon but his fists,
sprang into the cage ana beat th e lions un
til they iet go their prey, after having goo
the man’s right arm and samples of other
portions of his body inside the bars. The
man recovered and is still living. Another
time M. Bidel, seeing evidences of bad tem
per on the part of Sultan, a black-maned
African lion in the prime of life, entered
tho cage for the purpose of correcting any
possible wayward tendencies on the part of
the beast. He was suffering from acute
rheumatism in his left leg, and at the criti
cal moment, fell and was pounced upon by
the lion. There was a cry of horror from
those about, and M. Bidel was the only
man who made no sound. “I felt the need
of being calm,” he naively remarks; “trie
least mistake, and all was over.” Ho in
stead of making a fuss and cryi g out, he
seized the Hon by its throat and twisted tho
skin with all his might. The lion’s attack
was checked, and the next insiaut assist
ants with red hot bars drove off the beast.
M. Bidel sprang to his feet, “rushed upon
the rebel, and drove him into his retreat.”
Another lion story, less sensational, but
with the same delicate flavor of veracity
that makes M. Bidel’s memoirs so delightful,
is of a lion and lioness who had many years
dwelt together in one cage, aud whoso “mu
tual endearments were incesiant, demon
strative and touching.” A bachelor lian
oame to live next to them, and one day the
door between the two cages being left, open,
the lioness slipped thtough to visit the
bachelor. “The betrayed husband was be
side himself witli passion; there was an
guish and hatred in his face, and it was
plain that his heart was broken.” When
the lioness was driven back to her own c ge
she was instantly killed by her husband.
Not all of M. Bidel’s adventures were with
that portion of the animal king lorn classed
as wild. Early in life after having
apprenticed himself to a travelling
dentist, having been driven out of
home by the cruelty of a lion
taming stepfather jealous of his budding
prowess, M. Bidel fell a victim to a pair
of soft eves, that softened still more wnen
he was about. He called upon her father,
and bis ardent suit drew from that worthy
the sole remark: “Are youa fool, my boyi’’
Such a little thing as that, However, could
not defeat so valiant a soul as that of M.
Bidel, and after getting a pot of money he
made another applichtion. This time there
was anew objection. His conduct with tho
ladies, he was told, had not beeu above re-
C roach, and one English lady iu particular
ad been conspicuous iu following M. Bidel
about, never missing a performance where
he was to enter the lion’s den. M. Bidel
protested that he know not the woman.
Fair creatures in all ranks of life, from gris
ettes to grandarnes. he admitted, persisted
in following him about, but was he respon
sible for that! He simply could not
them from running after him. Tne
father was obdurate, and at last
M. Bidol demanded that the mat
ter be put to the test; that the English
woman be compelled to state her intentions.
Two gentlemen were selected as umpires,
and at the next performance they ap
proached the English woman. M. Bidel
was about to be married, they remarked to
her.
“Well,” she replied, “what is that to ine?
Is ho going to retire from business?”
It was explained that her attentions to
the tarner bail been so remarkable as to
create unpleasant comment.
“Prav don’t concern yourselves,’ she said,
laughing contemptuously; “1 ana a widow
and like to amuse myself, and if I go about
after this meuagerie, it is because 1 want to
be there when this gentleman is eaten.”
