LITE INSURANCE WRITER'S.

(
n story maker in the current number
OF Harper's Magazine has his hero,
young lawyer whose home is in Denver
attorney i'll three suits against the
"MethuSelah" Life Insurance Company.
The reference 10 the three lawsuits is
merely incidental, but is good example
in its way of the misinformation con
corning life insurance of even those
writer's who have plenty of opportunity
to ascertain what they are scribbling
about A man preparing an article for
monthly magazine has certainly time
enough to learn that not only has no
attorney in a city the size of Denver,
three lawsuits against any standard
American life company. but that there
are few of the companies with that
total number Of cases pending against
them anywhere. The writer in Ques-
ton, however, has only carelessly in
jected into the more deliberate domain
of magazine literature the erroneous
idea, common enough among the
hasty compilers of the daily press.
that life Insurance companies pass a
good deal OF their time in law courts
contcsting claims. The amount of jour
naliStic transformation concerning alike
the principles and practice of life in
surance is gorgeous in its scope and va
riety. Life insurance is almost inYar-
iably tangled up in the editorial mind
with fire OF marine insurance, which
it resembles IN no essential particular,
while 1t towers far above them in the
magnitude Of its financial exhibit, and
its Importance to the Individual, the
community and the nation. The readl-
ness of writer's for the press to tackle
subject, with no special preparation,
. which iii its technicalities is still mat
ter OF earnest study by actuaries ana
others who have devoted the best
thoughts of their lives to its develop
ment. results inevitably in any quantity
of light aud airy blundering There is,
of course, no reason why writer's for
daily papers, usually men of wide and
varied information. should not be able
to be as accurate concerning life insur-
ance as any other subject if they would
study 1t before giving opinions. as care
fully for Instance as they would diff
cult legal question. But they won't.
They simply take of their coats and 90
at lite insurance as confidently as they
would lay hold of a local street cleaning
theme. Any article thus prepared
rarely reaches the second paragraph
before the writer thereof has called a
premium dividend, an asset twenty
year endowment, nOn-fOrfeitable
policy lncOntestable, and to have mixed
reserves, liabilities, life expectations
and the surplus question in such beau
tiful shape that the editor-ln-chief stag
gers through the copy in mild despair,
and concluding that a thing so compli-
Gated must certainly be right, shoves it
into the paper Editorial kindergartens
are needed for many subjects. but for
none more than life insurance. 1t is
not a matter of inability to learn. for the
subject is understandable. interesting
and of grand import 1t is seemingly
merely dislike on the part of generally
able writer's to admit there is any limb,
on the tree Of knowledge from which
they are not capable of peeling the bark
at minutes notice.

town of Ida. MINI. Some one of them
read clipping from newspaper which
contained the statement that there are
thousands OF women in New York in
such position that they must either ac-
cept charity or shame. Inspired by mo-
tives of the most exalted gaIlantry, a
mass meeting of bachelors was at once
called In the little hamlet and six were
selected as a vicariOus sacrifice to the
god of love. Communication was opened
with the mayor of New York city, aud
he was requested to select six nice
young women and send them along.
The only coadition stipulated was that
the women should all be good looking:
which was, perhaps. wise and proper
precaution.
If the bachelors throughout the coun-

whose lives are robbed of half their ioy

do. and. although receiving a lot Of puH-

fair to MeAulIffe, however. to state that
he broke the first knuckle of his left

VISIT Ole THE GRIP.

Some peculiar feeling, perhaps. IN
duces the New York Tribune to inquire,
is the grip here again?" The response
IN person or by proxy is more pro-
nounced than were the responses OF
Democrats on occasions when the late
Speaker REED would enumerate them
in his quorum. The grip is in New
York and Chicago. and does lot quite
slight smaller cities. The hospitals in
the Lake city are thronged, and even
policemen are run in. As it has APP
peared later in the season than last
year. ami is better understood, it is
probable that it will make a shorter
stay and effect less disastrous work.
There is less tlippancy in treating it
and more respect had for its presence.
Still, it is not likely that there will be
much of an epidemic OF the grip in this
city. Almost any discomfort passes for
the disease, but. as it has obnoxious
relatives with 1t usually, it will be pru-
dent to look after any suspicious symp-
toms.

There is no serious expectation in
any quarter, probably, that the presi-
dent could expand into statesman so
far as to appoint any of the nine new
circuit judges without asking their

if they are otherwise worthy and well
qualified there will be no complaints
from the ineligible classes. lie can

The new appellate courts can organize
in July without the additional appoint
ments. Two out of the three possible
members of the courts already hold
positions. The president, however, has
secured from the attorney general an
opinion that the appointments may be
made and the judges enter upon their
duties before being confirmed. They
will have to wait for their salaries until

100000 Is ENOrGH

Coming down to solid facts the GLOBE
thinks that $4,000 is ali appropriation
large enough for the legislature to make
to cover the cost OF the states exhibit at
the worlds fair
This amount. with Whatthc railroads
and other corporate Interests which
own SO large part of Minnesota will
contribute, ought to secure very credit
able showing. Immigration is a thing
to be encouraged. and ii is very desir-
aLle THAI the waste places within our
borders should be made glad by an
influx of hardy yeomanry. The state at
large will gain by this, but it should not
be forgotten that the railroads will be
the greatest gamers. They own vast
tracts of unimprOved land, for which they
paid nothing, and every sale of which
means that much velvet in their Golfers.
The state ought TO make some outlay
that the world may know of our
resources: Bur it ought not to bear the
Whole burden. If it appropriates too
much, this Will be the result. If it
appropriates sum like $4,000 the
private interests which have 50 much at
stake will supplement it.
The legislature will be wise not 10
plunge. The revenue available for all
purposes will be something in the
neighborhood OF three quarters of a
million of dollars. A million dollars
could very properly be expended on the
support and improvement OF our state
institutions. They must not be per
mitted TO suffer for the sake of any fair
show At the same time we cannot af-
ford to have any deficit created. The
Fifty-iirst congress, which has just gone
home III popular disfavor. affords a
valuable lesson on the folly OF. legislative
Tecklessness.
We have a great many good things to
ask people TO look at, but there is moth
ing which would be so attractive to pos
sible settlers of the right sort as TO see
that Minnesota has a low tax rate, and
simplicity and honesty in its political
methods.

There may be some of the machinery

Der was lost. The fire started little
before 10 o'clock and burned for more
than Two hours. The mills were so far
from the engine houses that the
flames had secured complete pos
session before the department ar
rived. 1t was comparatively Il new
structure, not over two years old. 1t
was only a small mill with capacity of
possibly $4,000 feet of lumber day.
The loss. which was total, will be be
tween $1,000 and $1,000, probably we'll

mystery. There had been no fire there
since the mill shut down last spring,
nor are there any railroad trains passing
there from which sparks could have
been communicated.

ocean-bound. The Vermont at this
writing is full OF water, ana it is feared
that she will sink. The crash tore a
hole twelve feet square in her bow
The cOliding steamer rebounded and
again crashing into the Vermont tore
her side along the water-mark, ripping
her open. There was lively panic on
board The sailors were sent spinning
from their hammOcks and the officers
from their hunks. Nobody was injured
but much of the interior furniture was
damaged. The unknown steamer
sheered around aud made with all pos
sible speed for the lower bay. AS soon
as the marines get their seat
tered senses together the first
launch at baud was started out
in pursuit, with sailors armed for
duty. The steamer had start of
twenty minutes, and up to this writing
nothing has been heard either of her or
the launch. When the collision oc-
cured the steamer was hailed by the
sailors of the Vermont, but the crew of
the vessel refused to disclose her name.
