Verses Written in Paris by a Group of Intellectuals
A Cleveland collector, Joseph Leon Gobeille, prints ninety nine copies of a volume titled Verses Written in Paris by Various Members of a Group of Intellectuals. The Foreword by Mrs. Edmund Nash Morgan frames two Bohemian coteries, the intellectuals and the Militaire, with portraits of members and martyrs, and notes their Paris cafe gatherings at Cafe Procope with Marat and Danton. The anthology mixes somber reflections and lively verse, highlighting Charles Sibleigh and Chariton Andrews among others while recalling Beatrice Sylvie’s cited sacrifice and Omar Khayyam’s philosophy through Sibleigh’s translation influence.

Suffered Heavy Losses by a Decade of Fire Insurance
John M. Spann of Indianapolis Fire Insurance analyzes ten years of fire loss data, noting heavy early year losses gave way to modest gains as rates stiffened. The decade shows premiums of about $1.009 billion against losses of $624 million and a profit of $8.28 million, with underwriting profit near 1.1 percent. Public interest argues for stronger, not weaker, rates.
