NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANIES

NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.
II is novel thing in American expert
ence that corporation like the Connect
icut Mutual Life Insurance Company
should hazard so much as three quarters
of a million dollars, possibly full mil
lion, in the hands of single agent, but
it is nothing new that such fiduciary by
mismanagement or dishonesty should
squander the greater portion of his trust.
The defalcation of Mr. Joseph Moore at
indianapolis will have startling effect
upon policy-holders in all other COM
panies If so much of the surplus Of a
life company can be made way with
through one man, why may not the Re-
serve fund, held sacred to policy-holders.
be as easily encroached uponP The law,
common to most of the States where in
surance companies operate, is, in effect,
that their funds shall be invested
in unincumbered real estate worth
double the amount of money loaned
and in all life companies the
investments must realize as much as
four and a-half per cent. interest. Mr..
Moore seems to have been one individual
upon whose judgment the Connecticut
Mutual relied for the placing of its loans
in Indiana, and now, after fourteen
years of unwise or improper management
that company has to foot up a loss of
three quarters of q million or more. This
may in no manner affect the perfect solv-
ency of the company but il illustrates
that there is still an opening for the re-
vision of insurance laws and that the
safeguards around the reserye-which
is held to meet the death claims--are
not sufficient to render the assured en-
tirely safe. How the company has man
aged to show the regularity Of its Indiana
investments during the last fourteen
years is a matter for State Insurance De-
partments to consider.

WHEN MAX O'RELL says that "Ameri-
can journalism has swallowed litera-
ture" he does not mean that the average
editor has put an enemy in his stomach
10 steal away his brains, for the true
Journalist does not carry his brains in
his stomach. But when he adds that
"the reporter isnow engaged in swallow
ing journalism" he comes very near the
mark, since tariff editorial invariably
disappears before the august approach
of a prize. ght item.

Mr. Edward Stanhope, British Secretary Of
State for War, addressed meeting of his con.
stituents in the Horncastle division Of Lincoln
shire, Eng, Monday evening. In the course
OF his remarks Mr., Stanhope said thunder
cloud WAS hanging over Europe, and that,
sooner or later, probably sooner, IL would
burst, bringing the tlercest and most horrible
war ever known. IL was impossible he de-
clared, to view the preparations for war now
being made throughout Europe without feel
ing that war was approaching. He hoped,
however, that the wisdom OF England's states
men would prevent that nation from becoming
involved.
The Pail Mall Gasette, commenting on Mr.
Stanhope's speech, denounees the folly OF
such utteranees as those OF Mr.. Stanhope, and
says they are calculated TO do much mischief.

olic is quite unjustiiable, and expresses the

HIS REVENGE CAME.

Revenge is sometimes slow in coming" said man whose face bore the marks of premature are, "but it Is sweet when it does come" He carefully folded a newspaper which he had been reading, and put 1t into his pocket Then he stretched out his egs clasped his hands back of his head and laughed Several men sitting about the stove Cit was in tho office of a small hoteD looked inquiringly at tho speaker, and presently of them bolder than tho rest, asked
 "WhAt do you mean?"
 al mean exactly what say but will explain" He laughed again. "Some time ago I married woman whom society declared to be beautiful. I was infatuated with her, and sbowered my money pom her. My fortune was spent, and then my wife informed me that she no longer cared for me. She left me, and secured a divorce Shortly Afterward one of her relatives died and left her an immense sum of money. I was in need, actually without food, and wrote to her, reminded her of my liberality and begged her to lend me thoussnd dollars"
 He paused, laughed again and then continued:
 "She answered the latter, upbraided what she termed my shameless presumption and declared that she could not afford to waste money on . man who was nothing to her."
 He took the newspaper from his pocket, lay back in his chair and laughed softly
 "And what then7" some one asked.
 "Oh, nothing then, but revenge now. She Is to be punished for her soulless cruelty to me-"
 "Whst, has she been srrested?"
 "Oh, no how could they arrest herr"
 "But how is she to be punishedf"
