I DAWSON MOTOR CAR COMPANY
born about the time Joe Brown, Jim
‘Griggs. and Frank Park were running
for different offices, and all of them
had opposition. Mr. Stewart told his
wife that he wanted to name the child
for the winners in the three races in
which the above participated. And as
a result of the victory of the above
named the boy bears the name of the
three together.
It was not long before a girl came
into the Stewart family, and the father
then resolved to name her for the
wives of the three winning candidates
above named. Therefore, the girl bears
the name Caro Brown Theodosia
Stewart Griggs Emma Park Stewart.
In this case it happened that Mrs,
Griggs already had the name Stewart.
~ Both of these children have received
‘numbers of gifts and bits of money
from their namesakes and they have
a neat little bank account therefrom.
Verily, Mr. Stewart is a great be
liever in names,*and this probably ac
counts for his interest in the appeal
of the Lynchburg man for a name to
his nineteenth child.
Weather Insurance Is
Robbing Rain of Financial
Terrors in United States
Baseball Games, Prize Fights, Bargain
Sales Protected Against Weather
Man’s Interference.
The British custom of taking out
weather insurance has acquired a
strong foothold in the United States.
Five major league baseball clubs this
season have thus safeguarded them
selves on all of their Saturday, Sunday
and holiday playing dates, while many
minor league magnates are similarly
protecting their treasuries.
More than $1,500,000 was underwrit
ten in rain insurance for the last Fourth
of July, it is estimated. Fair weather
was general, and less than $lOO,OOO was
paid policy holders. Labor Day is ex
pected to break the July 4 record.
A British company underwrote a
$750,000 rain insurance policy for Tex
Rickard against financial setbacks
which the elements might have caused
on July 2, the day of the Dempsey-
Carpentier bout. The premium of this
ggl)icy was reported to have been $75,-
0.
Colleges also have begun to insure
against rainy Saturdays during the
football season, and state and county
fairs are likewise taking up the prac
tice. In the winter underwriters insurce
ice skating rinks on the temperature
remaining below freezing.
Summer resort hotels insure them
selves against bad weather over week
ends, and department stores do the
same thing for days on which they will
have advertised sales expected to at
tract particularly large numbers of
purchasers.
The insurance companies charge
premiums ranging from 215 to 25 per
cent of the policy, and even higher in
rare instances.

Same Old Story But a Good One. |
Mrs. Mahala Burns, Savanna, Mo.,
relates an experience, the like of which
has happened in almost every neigh-‘

tcld and related by thousands of oth-i

Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy about nine years ago and it
cured me of flux (dysentery). I had
another attack of the same complaint
three or four years ago and a few doses
ot this remec{y cured me. I have rec-.
ommended it to dozens of people since
1 first used it and shall continue to do
so, for I know it“is a quick and é)osg

5,000 YEAR CANDLE
18-FOOT TAPER BEING MADE
FOR NAPLES CHURCH. FIG
URE OF CHRIST ON IT.
A candle that could burn every All
Souls Day for the next five thousand
years is being made by the firm of An
tonio Ajello Bros. of 357 East One
Hundred and Twenty-fourth street as
’a memorial for Enrico Caruso, says
the New York Herald. It is to be plac
ed in the Church of the Madonna of
Pompeii, Naples, Italy. Mr. Ajelio has
been commissioned to fashion the mon
ster wax candle, which will be five
feet in circumference at the base and
eighteen feet in height, by the or
phans of a home to which the singer
gave $lO,OOO each year for many years.
The identity of the institution is be
ing kept secret for the present, but Mr.
Ajello admitted that each child in it,
and there are between 400 and 500, is
giving five cents toward the cost of
shipping the candle to Italy. Mr. Ajel
lo, who was a close friend of Mr. Caru
so for many years, is defraying the ex
pense of manufacturin®. The candie
'will be 6f Greek design, coming to a
point at its top, and there will be more
than 1,000 ‘pounds of tallow in it.
According to Mr. Ajello it will be
one of the largest candles ever made.
The candle maker has had a derrick
erected in his shop to dip the candle
into the boiling tallow thrice a day
during the ten weeks or more that it
will take to make it. When it has bgen
fashioned it then will be painted. A
figure of Christ on the cross will be
painted at the bottom, where also will
be the name of each boy and girl who
contributed- five - cents, along with an
inscription dedicating it as a memorial
’to “our beloved benefactor,”
l The founder of the Bank of Eng
'land died in poverty.
