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.” HOW THE WORLD 18 FED.

Figures don’t seem to express the thing so that anybody can realize bow enormous the business is. Now everybody knows that corn makes only a small port of wtiat anybody eats. I mean by that, nohody eats corn onough to make it a principal article of diet. Yet tlior ■ is one establishment in Maryland--a corn factory, they call it—where there are 100,41)0,000 cans of corn a week put up and sold. “Now consider that this is only one estab lishment out of hundreds in this country, and thousands in the world, where food is put up in cans. Then think that corn is only one small item of food, even among tho'eanned goods. And then reinernlier that canned goods are merely a fraction of the food supp y, and you will be ready to acknowledge iliat the food industries of tho country are too great to he readily grasped by the imagination.
