AN INsURANCE REFORM.

There may be some question as to
whether any 100 or 1000 men who pass
medical examinations and take out life
insurance policies have much better
chance of living than an equal number
of the average men of similar years.
Some English life companies are re-
ported to be meditating the abandon
ment of medical examinations 1t is
not insisted that they lack in thorough
ness and reverse the practice of pen
sion examiners who are reputed to find
all applicants eligible, nor that there is
an early alarming mortality from vet
eran maladies. Outsiders are. how
ever. sometimes surprised at the alac-
rity with which chronic diseases do their
fatal work after insurance. The new
theory is that the value of the med
ical examination is soon lost. In five
years or less it is as worthless as very
Old incubation for smallpox. At re-
cent banquet of life insurance agents in
Chicago it was named as desirable re-
form to abolish the medical eXamina-
ton. 1t is probably part of this
scheme to provide some protection
"S"iiioC Iho Hoou Vi IMPAIRED vitality OF
chronic disease that would come in if
there were no restraining condition.
There will be much hesitancy among
those who pass examinations in accept
ing this theory, dissipating the conceit
that they have All advantage over the
average man who has not passed the
examining ordeal. 1t is something to
have the better chance for even five
years. But the subject is likely to have
growing prominence in insurance cir
cleS.

unions which have recently been organ

governing the Minneapolis institution.
She said the latter had proven a great
success, and has been of almost incalcu-
liable benefit TO the shop and working
girls in Minneapolis. A lady who at
tended the meeting remarked after adj
journment that there is coffee i'll the

NOT LIKE THE OLD.

The Atlanta Constitution reproduces
some recent suggestions of the GLOBE
in reference to the growth of cities, and
elaborates the point that the cities of
the old civilizations afford no criterion
of the possibilities of modern growth.
The railroads. with rapid transit and
cheap transportation as compared to the
old systems; steam, electricity and all
the new forces in civilization, are fac
tors in the growth of cities. The con-
ditione of city life heve been revolu-
tionized in the past fifty years. and it is
impossible to gauge the full poSsibili-
ties OF the new era. In the olden time
cities were dependent upon water
courses and the great seas and
oceans for communication, and inland
cities could have but limited develop
ment. Water transportation will prob
ably continue to hold place as an i'm
portant accessory to municipal growth.
but the other agencies ha' e absorbed
its chief value. Great cities are now
possible in the interior without any
water navigation. Atlanta expects to
be an illustration of this, with a popula-
ton OF 100000 or more at no remote
period. But for its railroads it could
be only village. Then the progress in
sanitary improvements has contributed
to the production of cities by reducing
the agencies that affect unfavorably
dense populations. 1t would be difficult
to indicate any limit to the growth of
the modern city.

Premier Mereier, Of Quebec,
+ Says Canada Will Want
Independence.

LONDON, June 17.-In the Evelyn
Hurlbert case to-day the attorney-gen-
eral, Sir Richard Webster, on behalf of
Mr.. Hurlbert, said that the most delib-
crate perjury had been proved against
Miss Evelyn in regard to the relations
which existed between herself and both
Mr.. Hurlbert and Jackson. Sir Rich
ard also said that, if the ''bogus" let
ters which had been produced had been
genuine, some of them were of so
CHASTITY and horrible nature that they
could hardly be associated with any
mans promise to marry. Rt. Hon. Ed
ward Ebenezer Kay. one of the
justices, here asked to see one of the IN
decent letters referred to in order to
compare its handwriting with that of
one which was acknowledged to have
been written by Mr.. Hurlbert. A let
ter from the indecent lot was then
handed up to the bench. and Sir Rich
ard Webster, continuing. said: 81
asked that poor old man"-Lord ESher,
master of the rolls, here interrupted
the attorney general, asking sharply:
'.What Old NIana''
why" replied Sir Richard, calmly.
'Mr. Hurlbert is between sixty-fve and
seventy years old When he was asked
ii he had ever written letter of such a
character to any woman he replied
Never and no one who knows Mr..
Hurlbert would believe that he could
write such filth"
AT this stage of the proceedings Sir
Richard Webster said that he proposed
to read the letters which "that woman
had sent to Mrs. Hnrlbert," but Miss
Evelyn Indignantly protested that
she had never written to Mrs.
Hurlbert IN her life. During the course
OF Sir Richard Webster's argument the
master of the rolls, Lord Esher, asked
whether there was any evidence that
the defense had tried to find the man Will
fred Murray, who was alleged to be the
real author of the indecent letters. Mr..
Candy. on behalf of Miss Evelyn, re-
piled that there was not the slightest
evidence that the defence had tried in
any way to locate Murray. The hear
ing was then adjourned until tomorrow.

UNITE THE TWINS.

The scheme to unite Minneapolis and
st. Paul may be clever one, says the
Chicago News, and, in fact, we have
thought for long time that those two
cities would do well to quit their quar-
reling and attend to their interests,
which have come to be Identical. But
if the proposed union is effected let it
be done under name more appropriate
than that which has been suggested by
a recent convention of maWkish and
misguided persons. Federal City is lust
about as meaningless a name as could
be hunted up or invented; why tack on
that wretched word city? And then,
why Federal?
st. Paul is an old and honored name.
AS the name by which one of the old
settlements in our Northwest has been
known, it abounds in suggestion, rem
iniscence and sentiment. Better yet
and prettier is Minneapolis; we should
hold TO our Indian names so long as we
can. As the capital of Minnesota and
the metropolis OF the Northwest no
fairer nor more appropriate name than
Minneapolis could be applied to the
united corporations. Either one of the
two names, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
should be retained, and we hope that no
consolidation will be effected until this
most Seemly provision is made.

The report of the banquet at the
Merchants hotel last night, given in
the local columns, indicates the par
Elephants and the occasion su fficiently.
These festive incidents usually are the
expression or good feeling TOWARD some
individual, or to signalize some event.or
passage IN the life of the time. Last
night there was a purpose to show ap-
probation or a popular landlord and
give vent to the exuberance of salts
faction that the local and favorable con-
ditions of life in this latitude so easily
excite. The business interests of the city,
which composed the festive gathering.
may well be in merry mood over the un-
surpassed outlook for season of pros
perity in the Northwest. The aurora
of bright day is visible. The banquet
mood comes easily. Then it is one of
the most natural things in the local
economy to enjoy banquet at the old
pioneer of st. Paul hostelries. 1t has
been the scene of such incidents in all
the history of the city. The atmosphere
of the house is redolent of good cheer.
Those who have never attended a ban
quet there have missed one of the most
satisfying and eDlivening of the achieve
mentS of culinary art. There was
abundant evidence of this last night.
Mr.. WELZ, the genial host, was justly
proud OF the appreciation shown for him
personally, and for his success as land
lord, by the business men of st. Paul.

TWO STATES.

The contests in Ohio and Iowa will
divide attention this year as the impOr-
tant indices of the general battle of
forces year later. Were it not for the
fact that the great tariff maker is at the
head in Ohio and holding up his manu-
facture for approval, Iowa would per-
hapS be the most significant in its re-
suit. The Democrats elected the gov
ernor in each of them two years ago,
but it was due to personal causes in
both cases. as the Republicans had from
5000 to 10000 majority for all their state
ticket in Ohio. 1t was the only i'm
portant state except California where
the Republicans held their own
while the reform gale was sweep
ing over the country. If the Dem
Dcrats can carry it this year it will be
due to the growing unpopularity of the
tariff act, and be change in that direc-
ton since last November of the most
revolutionary character. Be that as it
may, Iowa is the hopeful state. Before
the Republican party took the prohibi-
tion load on its shoulders the Demo-
cratic vote was hardly more than lib
eral scattering. 1t could not elect if
half the Republicans did not vote. For
nearly decade the state has been drift
ing away from the Republicans. Last
year the Republicans elected their state
candidates, but the Democrats scored a
clear and decided majority on the con-
gressional vote. The Republicans
claim that this was due to their
voters staying from the polls and
misapprehension as to the tar
iff, which is being removed. 1t is more
rational, however, to believe that the
tariff reform sentiment is still stronger
than it was IN 1890. The prohibition
question will cut some figure, but the
Republicans are trying to evade any
direct issue. 1t does not appear how
far that may be factor in the results.
The Prohibition party, however, begins
to show more vitality, and it may draw
somewhat from the Republicans. The
new Peoples party, too, has put up
ticket, and will make an active cam
paign. 1t is conceded that its votes will
nearly all come frnm the Republicans.
The demand for more currency is prey
alent in that state, and the new party
will have the pull on it. On the whole,
the Democrats ought to put Iowa in
their column this year so decisiyely
that it can be depended on in 1892.

A MIXED AFFAIR.
An American EmbezzIer Causes a
Great Deal OF Trouble.

Great Deal OF Trouble.
BERLIN, June 1S.-True w. Holt.
alias E. L. Shaw, the passenger OIL the
steamer Normannia, who was arrested
at Cuxhayen upon the arrival OF the
steamer at that port on Saturday
last, is still held in custody pending
the arrival of the proper requisition
papers. Holt was taken into custody
on the charge of larceny preferred
against him by the Welsbach lncan-
descent Gaslight company, of Phla-
delphia, Pa. Owing to a case of
mistaken identity Hoyt nearly escaped
at CuXhaven. as he had previously es-
touched at Southampton. The En-
glish police, in their communica-
tions to the German police Iasking
for Hoit's arrest, naturally sent them
good description of the man wanted.
This description, however, answered
pretty we'll to that of an officer
of the Fifth United States cavalry.
who was also passenger on board
the Normannia. The result was that,
as the German detectives fist caught
sight OF the cavalryman, they promptly
placed him under arrest. The officer
referred to protested most vigorously,
ton of papers which he carried, to
convince the detectives that he was not
the alleged embeZZler whose return to
Philadelphia had been requested
through the United States minister at
Berlin. Holt was eventually found
among the NOrmannia'S passengers, to
the great relief of the German detect
Ives and of the officer of the Fifth
United States cavalry and his friends.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The depart
ment of state has been informed that the
German government has declined to sur
render True W. Holt, the defaulting
employe of the Welsbach Incandescent
Gasiight company, of Philadelphia.
There is no extradition treaty with Ger
many covering Hoit's offense, and while
the German government was willing
to surrender him without a specific
treaty stipulation, it was only upon
condition that this government
would demand by the Ger
man government for the surrender of
escaped criminals whose crimes were
not covered by existing treaties. Of
course, this condition could not be
accepted. But, in the meantime.
this government has been in communi-
cation with the government of Great
Britain, and is hopeful of securing Holt
in the end. lie was within British
Jurisdiction-atS SOuthamptOn-where ex-
tradition prOceedingswere begun and the
German steamship officers Inference
prevented his arrest there. This fact
transfers part Of the responsibility for
Hoit's escape to the British government
and it is probable that they will cause
the German government to Ieturn the
man to England, where he can be Sc
cured

BUSINESS DEVICES.

The tendencies of the time are not
only toward labor-saving machinery,
but economies of time and muscle in
business lines. The more or less SOM
nolent scheme to which East Sixth
street was to be devoted was somewhat
in the direction of projects broached in
the larger cities. In New York it may
take the shape of an elevated freight
railway to stores in the chief business
districts. In Chicago syndicate is un-
derstood to have much of the requisite
S4,000,000 capital in hand for the cree
ton of the structures and means of
transit. 1t is to be clearing house for
goods, consisting of $50 similar struct-
ures six stories high, convenient to
water and rail. The cars will be carried
to the different stories up an inclined
plane. The facilities for handling
goods will give material advantage to
those using them.

A WIFE's PLEA.
Edward Pepin Does Not Show Up
Well as Husband.

Amy A. Pepin asks for a decree of
absolute divorce from Edward N.Pepin.
They were married at st. Paul IN 1856.
She is twenty-one and he twenty-three
years old. They have girl two months
and half old and boy four years old.
The husband is charged with cruel and
inhuman treatment and failure to pro-
vide for his family. 1t is stated that at
the time the child was born in January
last, no provision for the care and SuS-
tenance of the wife was made, or for
nurse or physician; that on April 10 he
beat his wife without provocatiOn and
threatened to kill her, and said he would
give her dose of poison to get rid of
her. The wife AYERS chat she believes
she and her nursing child are suffering
from dose of poison given her in
glass of water by the husband. She
says that she has good reason to fear
that he will take her life. that he has
often beaten her, and at one time threw
a glass of beer i'll her face when she re-
fused to drink with him. He is charged
with being idle and when he earned
money spent it in drink. About the 1St
OF May he took the little girl away from
its mother and still refuses to permit her
to see the child. He is charged with
being dissolute, and unfit to have the
custody of the children. The mother
asks for the custody of the children in
addition to an absolute divorce.
