Are You In Il?

Mr.. Chas, B. Spahr of Columbia University has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of thirtv-five counties in the State of New York,
covering the last three months of 1898 and includ-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The result are remarka-
Bile as showing how few peopla leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left
Out of TO- 900 persons over twenty-five years of
age dying during the quarter, only
SS5 left estates equal to or exceeding S5O9O
9ls6 averaging 1909
6649 valued at ODO
Think oft! Less than 9 per cent were worth
$4,000, end less than % per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
91l5 out of every 10000 leaves an estate of $1,000
or not depends upon whether they have life in
surance for that amount or not.

A Friends Tribute.

Miss Maude Dunn, whose sudden
death was announced in the GLOBE
few days ago. was we'll known in the
society circles of the city. She was ali
exemplary young lady - affectionate,
affabie, kind and accommodating. In
the prime of life she lies asleep. There
are wounds made by her death that
time will never heal. There are those
who were near and dear to her TO whom
life will never be as before. We are
beggarS for terms to tell her goodness.
The contrast between a few days and
now is too great.
How feeble are words to carry conso-
lation 10 the heart of that bereaved
mother. 1t is impossible to silence her
grief with words. The heart pleads for
utterance in tears. A tender, ciingiug
vine, interviewer in sweet memories
from the hour the angel first gave her
TO her home; gentle spirit of light that
filtered i'll and out like CLEAN of sun
shine. We bow In sorrow at the taking
of her only child, feeling that while the
ripened fruit may be gathered, 1t seems
cruel that the bud should be taken be-
fore it has even all opportunity 10
unfold It's blossoms and buds. LII the
ways of kind nature this is perhaps
best. and i'll the taking from her of this
precious one, she must accept the cross
and bear it. believing that the bud will
blossom and bear fruit in the angel
land, whittier the spirit of this pure
child has so early flown.
1t will he a sacred thought, in the
years to come, to parents and friends,
that she shed radiance IN the home as
long as she did. 1t will be a blessed
recollection that she grew up to love
and be loved by those who Will ever SO
tenderlY cherish her sweet and pure
memory. Language cannot convey the
sorrow of her friends. Speech is dumb
at the mouth OF the grave.

nished without any difficulty. Mr.. Har
rington is charged with refusing to
turn over to Emil Firth, of Chicago, the
sum Of S5.4O0 belonging to Elmer
Bishop. which he held. Harrington
claims that Firth owed him commissions
amounting 70 81, S31. due for his assist /.
ance in making real estate deals, which
Firth wouldn't pay. The trades impli-
Gated were these of the Victoria and
Brunswick hotel properties.
Cyrus Eugene Hicks, of Excelsior.

robbers, and specifically with taking
property from A. III. Fitz's cottage. had

The Floyd boys have finally retired to
the country residence furnished by the
state as a haven for criminals. and
known as the "penitentiary." They
were taken to Saltwater yesterday aft
ernoon. Attorney Byrnes found to his
sorrow yesterday morning that he was
unable to secure sureties to the amount
of 200. so there was nothing to do
but allow the law to take its course.
Judge Jamison gave Mr.. Byrnes until
yesterday morning at o'clock to lille the
bail bond. When the time came around
and the bond was not forthcoming, the
judge ordered the sheriff to take the
prisoners to Saltwater.
The boys did not give up all hope until
II O'Clock, when several friends came
into the Jail aid announced that the
worst had come, and they must prepare
themselves tor departure. Several Ia
dies called and presented the youths
with handsome bouquets Of roses, ana
when they arrived at the prison and
were ushered into the grim court yard
they brought the fragrance of the flow
ers~witll them. 1t was all they had to
remind them OF the bright world beyond
the high walls.
Mrs. Floyd and Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Field were at the depot to bid the boys
goodbye when they arrived in closed
carriage, which contained also Sheriff
Eye and Inspector Hoy. The boys were
calm under the circumstances, and but

A FAMILY SCRAP.
The Husband Hits His Wife With
q Ratchet.

c. L. Storey, a proof reader on the
Tribune, got into trouble last night
with his wife. They live on the third
floor over 209 Nicoilet avenue, and last
night during supper time the pair began
quarreling. Storey picked up Ratchet
that lay conveniently by and struck
his better half on the head with it, GU.
ting two large gashes in the scalp and
another one in the temple. Then he
bit her on the cheek, and took a small
piece out of her arm. She screamed
murder. and Storey fed. The police
were notified, and they in turn called
DIR. luke, who dressed the woman'S i'll
jurieS.
Mrs. Storey called loudly for her hus-
bands arrest, and so Inspectors Court
ney and hlorrisSey went after him.
They found him at his desk in the Trib-
une office, and brought him down to
where the injured woman was. 1t did
not take long to square matters. Mrs
Storey decided she did not want him to
go to Jail, so the couple kissed and
made up.
