Are You in It?

Mr.. Chas. b. Spahr OF Columbia Univer-
sity has recently examined the records OF
the surrogates of thirty five counties in
the state OF New York, covering the last
three months of 1893 and including the
counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the state. The results are re.
markable as showing how few people
leave any estates at all and the low aver
age values OF the estates left.
Out of 10000 persons over twenty five
years of age dying during the quarter, only
SS5.left estates equal to or exceeding 5000

6.64g - valued at 5000
Think OF it Less than 8 per cent were
worth IS, 900 and less than % per cent were
worth Il ,292 when they died. The con-
clusion is that whether 8, IFS out OF every

ponds upon whether they have life insur-
alice for that amount or not.

Price, too, for she succeeded in marrying
Louis c. Hamersley, who soon succeeded
to the 81, o00, 900 estate of his father, An
drew G. Hamcrsley. There was o string
attached to the fortune, however, for the
will left the estate to the son for life and
further directed that tho son ct his death
should will the property according to di-
rections left with the family lawyers.
Louis C. Harnersley died soon after his ia
ther, leaving the immense fortune to his
widow during her life. AT her death the
estate was to go TO several New York chart
ties, providing j.. Hooker Hamersley, a
cousin, possessed no male heir. If he did
possess a son, the son was to receive the
fortune. j. Hooker Hamersley was then
a bachelor, but he soon married, and his
second child, a boy, is now called 1.-THE

After five years of mourning Mrs. Ham
ersley married the Duke of Marlborough
at the city hall, New York. The now
duchess paid her husbands debts and pre-
vented historic Blerheim castle from pass

the duke died suddenly, and his son forced
the duchess to leave Blenheiln, although
her money had made it possible for him to
possess it. Tho duchess is now called tEe
