HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1888-02-03, Page 64 A THE HURON EXPOSITOR', CORRESPONDENCE. Idelcirlop Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company. DEAR Ex.rosITian,-I attended the annual. meeting of this cotnpany on Friday last; which was composed of the office holders and about half a dozen erdinary members. After several of the members of the directorate had spoken in high terms of the ability andefficiency of their colleagues individually and collectively, (of course leaving the apeaker for the time being out of the question) the three retiring directors were re -appointed. The Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor's reports were adopted, and an auditor for the current • year appointed, after which the claim of A. Govenlock -"for horse killed by lightning on adjoining lot to one mentioned in policy," was discussed ; when, in the face of the clearest evidence that the by-laws of the company and their policies did not, as the directors claim, insure live stock outside of the buildings. They refused to contest the cause of action in a suit at law alone upon the grounds upon which the directore refused to pay, as cited by Mr. Beattie in a late issue of the EXPOsiTOR, viz "That had the horse been_killed. on the lot described in the policy they. would have paid, and the only reason for their refusing was that he was killed on the adjoining lot, also the property of the insured." Now, I have the advic of three of the ablest lawyers in th county, that by their by-laws an policies there is no insurance on liv stock outside of the buildings, and i would be the height of folly for any on under those circumstances to ente action against the company. If th directors would bind. themselves in a, legal way under the hand and seat o the company to set out their onl , objections as above, then the amount o claim could be collected. And it only the illegal manner in which th policies and by-laws of the company ar drawn up that prevents Mr. Govenloc from collecting the amount of this elairn I have Mr` Cameron's verbal opitaio and the opinion of Messrs. Garrow an Preadfoot reduced to writing, whic was given after a careful examinatio of the policy and by-laws of the com pany ; which is, that no animal is insure against being killed by lightning outsid of the building upon which, togethe with contents, insurance has been effect ed. Mr. Garrow's opinion, which wa subsequently endorsed by Mr. Proud foot, is as follows : "1 am perfectl clear that if live stock not in a buildin is intended to be insured it must b specifically mentioned. In other word live stock formiug "ordinary contents' of an insured building need not b mentioned specifially. The term ordinary cantents'would cover ever thing properly falling within th mee.ning of the words except th articles provided for in the earlie clauses of by-law No. 11. But if liv stock is intended to be insured whethet in or out of the building, that must b expressly mentioned in the policy. I the company has heretofore treated animals which come under the word " ordinary contents" and not otherwis specified in the policy as insured agains lightning when outside the buildings they have been doing wrong, in ni3 opinion. But that would not render th directors personally liable unless the3 did not act in good faith in ihking sue paymehts. They 81101.1.1d not, however in fairness, draw the line at you. I the policy is treated as to others a covering outside live stock they ough so to treat it in your case. It calm° possibly make a particle of difference it what field or on what lot the horse was There is no locality specified in th policy and it seetris very arbitrary foi• the company to .say we will pay if the Ire is on tot 1 but we won't if he is ot Idt 2. They have no legal authority to 80 treat the matter. If there was n express agreement as to the horse th language of the policy would not cove his loss and the fact that other simile los-es had been paid by the compan3 would not enable you to compel them tc pcg you. At the same time if the coin p.tiy has usually paid such losses the3 emetal pty it in this, and their ex.cus that the horse was on an adjoining lot i not a satisfactory one." Outside of a decision by the court, I think the above the beet of evidence that the by-laws and policies of the company do not legally bear out Nvhat the direeters say they do. But I must sae the -fault lies in a great mea.ture with the private members of the corn+ pany who take so little interest in the management as not to attend even the a111311/1,1 meeting. This lack of interest un their part no doubt induces careless ness on the part of the directors and i is no wonder that so little care has bee taken to make the by-laws and policie4 of the company legally express wha they were intended. "It is too late t loelt the stable after the horse i stohai.- It is, therefore, the duty o tilts members to take more interest i their meetings and see that an efficien management is chosen and that thei by laws and policies are gotten up in legal manner.-JouN R.(loves:Louis. 1 - • The -Greatest Operation on ±tecor To the Editor of Tin.: lIraux Exrosirolt. DEAR attention has bee oalled to a great deal of professional, rather unprofessional, advertising during these last few months, both the newspapers of this and neighborin villages, which is altogether reprehensi ble in the eyes of the medical professio and also misleading and grossly .cleeep tie to the public. Some time ago at articleappeared in your columns, Settin& forth that Dr. McKelvey, of this village, had performed the " greatest operatior on record," viz : Ovariotomy, also thal it had- only been performed once sue- ee-sfully in this county, both of whiel- assertio•ns are abeolutelyf fillee and mis leading. In the tirst pyace it would be interesting, since there has been so mucl ulowiug and pulling about this " greates operation an record for the public t know the real positien this operatics now holds in the field of curgery. It iS tate of the very simplest of the majoi operations, and one that is attended by' the least mortality, it fact, can hardly be called dangerous, as the following statisties will show. Lawson Tait per -1 formed about 4 years ago 100 eonsecuti VC cases with only three deaths. Thoma Keith, of Edinburgh, 79 without a death. K no wlesly Thornton, from February '82 to February '84, two years, performed this operation on 7:1 cases, taking them in succession and they all recovered,. without a single ex- ception. Cranville Bantoek, who visit- ed Canada last August, on his way to the International Medical Congress at Washington, had at thet time perform- ed 60 consecutive cases without a death. But it might be argued that these men are eniinent and stand' at the head of the profession. Well, let us note the result amongst men of comparative obscurity.Take Skene Keith, a young man with a practical experience of about 3 years, had only two deaths in the first fifty cases of his lifetiine. Or. Mere- dith had 50 cases with -4 deaths, one of which.did not result from the operation. Dr. Walker, of Peterhoro, had 10 caseaand One death. It has even been performed successfully by a woman in China in 1g84, Miss Elizabeth Reifsnya der, of sthe American \Yuman's Union Mission, was the operator. - All the cases that have been perfortned by local men in this county and vicinity have been successful, aud even the first man who attempted it, Ephraim 'McDowell, df Kentucky, was successful in bis very first case. I collie', go,pn multiplying to any length such etatisties, het -surely the above is sufficient to ist'ove- to the satisfaction of any reasonable person, that it is very'far from being the "great- est operation on record," I challeuge Th-. McKelvey, or the parsoa who insert- ed the article., lotahim, todisprove the - above statements. 'Again, it is stated that it has only been -performed once successfully,in this county. This is also • absolutely false. Dr. Stewart, late of Brucefield, halt, perform.ed it three or four times successfully ; Dr., Hurlburt, late oVBrucefield, now Of Mitchell, has also performed itsu,ccessfully, so also Dr. Gillies, of Teeswater ; and even again in this village last week a much mere.serious case was operated on suc- cessfully, which if it could be measured mathematically might be said to be twice as difficult as the " greatest opera- tion on record." My autharity for the last statement is based mathe evidence of a skilful surgeon, who we,s present at both operations. There are at least -a dozen men in this • county who are not only willing but quite capable of 'her - forming the same thing shotild the neces- sity arise in their practice, but we can- not produce tumors, and must wait for our patients to grow them. It is per- haps well we cannot, or some of us might be tempted to do eo in order to advertise the "greatest operation on record." I would not trouble you- with this letter were it , not that this same M. D. con- tinues to follow up the contemptible and unprofessional practice of having his name published in connection with every little frivolous accident or operation in the ordinary course of practice. This method of cheap advertieing is condemn- ed by the profession, is a breach of any or all existing code -of -medical ethics, and is only couirten,anced by inferior men, and charlatans. It is considered by the best men of all countries, to savor too much of quackery, and so much so that no man with ;manly instincts will allow his name to be continually attach- ed in the newspapers to these cases. It might be advanced in extenuation that these articles are inserted without his anowleclge, still any one permitting them to appear, almost week' after week, without protest is equally guilty, and no publisher would persist in doing so if requested otherwise. Trusting the gross exaggeration of the artielain question is sufficient justification for trespassing on your space, I arn, yours respectfully, s." Wm. GRAHAM. Brussels, Jan. 23rd; 1838. Two Fruit Merchants. The following paragraph appeared not long since in a daily paper : "Isaac Jeans, a.Philadelphia Quaker, who hae'made a fortune of lz;3,000,000 as a fruit importer, began his business career by selling oranges and apples at retail." It brought to mind a scene in a village aneong the. mountains. A pretty woman, with soft,, gray hair, sat on the piazsa of a summer hotel. It was about sunset of a very awarm, uncomfortable day; one of thosei5days that make every one thirsty, and juicy fruit particularly attractive. On the wooden carriage steps sat a boy about twelve years old. I said he sat there ; it would be far More truthful to say he lounged there. Beside him was an ordinary splint basket filled with ripe, luscious plums. He was waiting for •the •ladies to come out on the piazza; when he perhaps Would be able to sell. the plums. He had not had the businessenergy to try to sell to one customer ; he was waiting till all should eeme out, evidently reasoning that it Ivould save walking up to the hotel twice. Presently ' there came in sight a light carriage containing two young ladies and. two gentlemen. When they saw the fruit in the basket they stopped and spoke to the boy. An animated conversation was carried on for a shoat time, and at its close the boy shook his head. The parties left the carriage and came toward the hotel, where they. called on a friend. The lady who had watched the young fruit merchant and the occupants ,of the carriage had her curiosity aroused, and walked toward the carriage steps, The boy sat there with a look of disdontent on his face, and eyed the basket as if it were the cause of all his misery'. " What is the matter, Charlie ?" " Them people want soine plums -a lot -but I ain't got any paper." " Haven't any paper ! Why do you not get some ?" " I don't know where there is any," answered Charlie, with a wandering, eindess look about the well -kept lawn.- " Have you asked for a piece in the office ? Hurry ! Look -aeound and see if you cannot fiud a piece.' Charlie • got up lazily and started toward the hotel.. The h,Ily waited to gut rd the fruit. In a few minutes the lacy came out of the hotel carrying a large' ieee of .brown paper. The lady. asked him how much the carriage party wan ted to buy. - • " Half of 'em," answered. Charlie. " Four quarts,. They're twelve cents a quart, but he said he'd gie me fifty cents .if I'd get Some raper." Here Charlie spread the paper on the top step ,and proceeded to pour ot t the plums i.irto the paper. " Stop, Charlie ! 'do noij make such a horrid -looking parcel,- -and the lady began to put the plums hick into the • basket. Chadic stared at her as she deftly made a -large cornucopia and then carefully put the plunts- in it. A light broke over Charlieface. " 1 tell you,. that's tine." he said as the lady cloSed the top and laid•tlui: neat -looking parcel down. " Watch for your customer, and lay the plums carefUlly in th 3 wagon," said the lady, as she: walked to the piazza: - The visitors camek:put of the house and got into their carriage. Charlie held up his cornucopia of plums, received direc- tions where to put them, and was hand- ed a bright silver half -dollar. The carriage drove away, and Charlie was left sorting over the plums in the basket. He selected one, and, keeping it in his hand, ambled over the lawn to Where his recent friend was sitting. He held out his hand in which was a plum, and said : " You can have this for nothin'. It's rotten on one side, but the other is all right. The lady took the plum and -thanked the boy. He looked at her again and said : "Say, if I get some paper will you show me how to make them pointedbags?" Certainly," answered the lady ; and she did. It is certain that Charlie will never make a fortune of $3,000,000, as did the little apple merchant of Phila- delphia. Isaac Jeans would have gone to work at once to find the piece of paper; he would have been so bright and smiling, so anxious to please, that he would probably have disposed of his whole stock: When Isaac Jeans sat down it was to rest not to lounge. All his thought; his ener.gy, went into his business ; his eyes were opezi to every opportunity. It is not luck that makes a man successful, but. enterprise, derotion, good judgmeet and politeness. Charlie lacked all these, and he lack- ed what is an essential to true success - a recognition of generous help. Charlie will finish his days lounging in the village store. It's the Isaac Jeanses who make successes and help to make our country great. • A Sweet Singer. Jenny Lind was the daughter of a teacher of languages in Stockholm, and displayed an extraordinary musical talent at a very early age. She sang first in public when she was three years old. She began training her voice when she was but nine years old; but when 12 years old her voice failed, and she gave all her attention to instrumental music until she was sixteen, when it was discovered that her voice was more beautiful than it ever had been before. From this time she had the best teach- ers and worked very hard to fit herself for her profession. She did not aiepear in London until she was 27. years old, and she was 30 years old when she came to America. Mr. P. T. Barnum brought Jenny Lind to this country, and it is to him that we are indebted for some stories that reveal her lovely nature. Mr. Bar num told a newspaper reporter: "When Jenny was singing in ,Boston a poor working -girl thrust three dollars into the hands of the ticket -seller at the Bos- ton Temple for a back seat at Jenny's concert. On receiving the ticket she said: 'Thera goes my wages for one week, but I must hear that good angel sing.' Jenny's secretary, her cousin, Max Hjortzberg, beard the remark, and immediately went to the greenroom and laughingly told it to Jenny. I shall 'lever forget how she jumped to her feet and exclaimed: Oh, this must not be! Poor girl, she shall not lose her money it is wicked ! Max, take this money '- handing him a $20 gold piece-' search out that dear creature and put it in her hands, with my love. God bless her !' Cousin Max found the girl, gave her the money and message, and witnessed a lflood of tears from the working girl's eyes. If she is alive to -day she will re- member it." Mr. Barnum at one time became financially embarrassed, and Jenny Lind, then Madame Goldschmidt, sent her husband to Md Barnum, who tells of his visit : " When I was strug- gling against the Jerome clock debts, in 1858, I took my wife and children to London. One day, Jenny's husband, Otto Goldschmidacalled on me and said: Mra, Lind, hearing of your financial misfortune, desired me to cal on you and say if a few hundred pounds, or a thousand will serve to relieve your pres- ent wants, I am to hand it to you with her kindest regards. We are now living iu Dresden, and my wife says if you will take your family there she will gladly find you aice apartments at a low rent, and we shall both be glad to render you any service we can.' The- kind offer was decliaed with thanks, but it shows the charitable character of this almost angelic wonian." Jenny Lind married Mr. Goldschmidt, an accomplished pian- ist and conductor, and practically retir- ed from the stage, as she only sung for benevolent objects after her marriage, and she has not sung in public since ]866. Consumption. Cured.
