ONE MILLION AND A HALF.
The Amount of Life Insurance Gal

The Amount of Life Insurance Car
ried by Ex-Postmaster General
Wnnamalker.
The leading old-line insurance organi-
cations keep accurate lists of the In
surance carried by their heaviest policy
holders, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
not only In their own but in other CON-
panies. The list of heavily insured pol
Icy holders is headed by three Philadel-
phians. Ex-postmaster General Wanna
maker carries greater insurance than
any man In the United States. 1t ag-
gregates 81, sos, 900, and he pays in pre-
miums little over $4,000 per annum.
Some of the policies have been running
sixteen years, so he will soon realize
on his first investments. Hamilton
Disston, the manufacturer politician, is
second on the list with 100000. The
third is j. b. Stetson of Philadelphia
with $515,000
The high water mark for insurers In
New York city has never gone beyond
$5OO,OOO. DR.. Chauncey M. Depew and
Theodore Havermeyer are each insured
for that sum. Pierre Lorillard has
$4,000 and Deacon s. v. White $175,-
600. M. b. ingalls,, president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway, pays pre-
miums on $2S5,000; d. NJ Ferry, the
garden seeds man of Detroit, $500, 900:
Gen. Russell A. Alger, $148,OOO; H. H.
Warner, who cures kidneys and discov-
ers comets at Rochester N Y, $780,
600; G. l. Hood, the sarsaparilla man,
$250,0O0; Congressman M. ID. Harter of
Mansfield, Ohio, 100000; Senator Nc
Pherson of New Jersey, $155, 900; Sen
ator Wolcott of Colorado, $150,OO0; J.
M. Studebaker of South Bend, Ind,
$250,000, and Edward Rosewater, of
the Omaha Bee, $15O,OOO. The widow
of Senator Hearst of California is in
sured for 100000. Charles Foster car
ries $4,000 in life insurance, and about
one year ago applied for $4,000 more.
When examined there was a marked ir-
regularity in the action of the heart,
which caused an unfavOrable report.
The strain of his office had created
symptoms which could not be ignored.
The secretary promptly ightened his
official duties, cut down his cigars to
ten or twelve per day, and took trip
abroad, during which he consulted q
leading heart specialist in Paris.

An Enterprising industry.

A novel kind of insurance has been
started in New York. An ambulance
service, with quite large subscription
list, has been organized for broken
trucks and carriages, by which, if a
heavily-loaded dray or any other vehi-
Gle breaks down in the streets and
threatens to block the traffic, the in
jury can be repaired temporarily in n
few minutes, and any possible damage
to exposed goods from the weather is
thus avoided. The service has already
established four stations in different
parts of the city, and owners Of teams
who are insured in it have only to
notify one of the stations when an ac-
cident occurs, and the ambulance Is inn
mediatelY sent.

Some Funny PnraRhases.

Oliver Hereford, the talented illus
trater and son of Rev, Brooke Here
ford, ia noted for his dron variations
upon old-fashioned proverbs, and few
recent examples are worth repeating.
Who that has ever been photographed,
with all that it implies, could fail to APP
preciate this: You may lead a man
to the photographers, but you can't
make him smile." And what heartfelt
assent will be given by many a man
and perhaps some women to: "a
little widow Is a dangerous thing. :"
Somewhat in the same vein was his
characterization on the last day of the
week of an egg that failed to please
his taste as "a Saturday night egg, !"
explaining when asked: Because 1t
