EMPLOYS OVER FIFTY MEN.

Eight medical examiners are kept busy all day examining applicants for ipsuran nee. Among those examined are children as young as years old, as well as men and women of maturer growth. This circum- stance arises from the peculiar feature of the Metropolitan which admits children of either sex over 2 years of age to be in. sured under the same protecting policy as their fathers and mothers. No longer than two weeks ago the Metropolitan paid S36 to the parents of a child twenty four hours after the child's death and eight days from the date of the writing of the in surance, when only 10 cents iu premiums had been paid. A few days before this this company, who had paid only 20 cents in premiums, died, the insurance upon whose life was paid in twenty four hours to her relatives. Day before yesterday a man died and the insurance upon his life was paid yesterday.
 THERE IS NO WONDER.
 Is it any wonder that an insurance com- pany that can offer life insurance at such n small premium should write eighty five 1olicies a day? Greater wonder would there be if at the end of the next three months twice this number of policies were not written daily. Just think Of plying 10 cents q week, for which collector calls and relieves you of all trouble in the mat ter, and having the satisfaction of knowing that if you are hurriedly summoned to the next world your family is provided for. h the long watches of the night there are few people, upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of supporting some one else besides themselves, who would not feel better when they review the nn- certainties of life if they carried an in- surance upon their lives. There exists no longer an excuse, under the plea of scarcity of funds, for failure to comply with this universally recognized practice of provid- ing for the loved ones. There are none 60 poor as not to be able to spare couple of dimes week for the reassuring pleasure that will be born of the knowledge that his or her life is insured.
 It is this feature, called industrial life insurance, of the Metropolitan Life Insur. ance company that makes it so popular with the masses, and swells the number of policies and gives the company an oppor. tunity to employ fifty men, under good salaries, who otherwise might go without work in these days when bread winning is a difficult occupation. In this work is offered rare opportunities to good, reliable men 10 make splendid salaries, and many are accepting of the good fortune thus thrown in their way.
 Besides the industrial feature mentioned 1

 key in Bond-Treas arg Balance.
 Washington. July 5.-The treasury situatS.n for July opens up with indica- tions of improvement in receipts. Cus- toms revenues still lag at a very low rate. but internal receipts are already n million ahead Of last yenr and esti- mates made from present indications place them for July and August at fully forty millions.
 To-day they reached s2.233.+s2 tha highest figure for any day since the in- come days of the war. This increase Is attributable 10 the increase in pay- ments of the tax on whiskey in bond, which Is being withdrawn In great quantities now that the tariff bill, car< rying the Increased tax Is approaching its enactment Into law.
 The stated treasury balances show the effect of this stimulus from internal revenue sources. being to-day sll9,07o,. 323. of which S6i, 7i2.735 is In gold. It N not expected that internal revenue rs. after the tariff bill goes into effect. From the stated balance of SlI9,0 900 must .e subtracted 5000. 900 to be paid for July interest. which will not ba taken out until the end of the current month. This leaves the balance to-day at less than SIP 100000.

 on the Clyde.
 Hunters Quay, Firth of Clyde, June July 5.-The gegatta of the Mudhook Yacht oluL to-day opened amid popular excitement, which was soon afterwards much increased by a collision between Valkyrie aRd Satanita, which resulted in the sinking Of the former yacht and the serious disabling of the latter. All on board were rescued. The race pro- ceeded, notwithstanding the, disaster, and Britannia, which had the best o' the start, was overhauled and passed by Vigiiant In the race for the Muir me- mortal cup. Or\ The seaond round, how eyer' Vigaant los. as1d was Anally beat en by Britannia py about half minute. The time when the boats rounded the final mark was: Britannia, 4:2S:1O; Vigilant, 4:28:45. !.&
 The Britannia was officially declared the winner by 35 seconds. Immediately after the finish the@Vigilant went off di- rect for her moornss. ..ogn
 Experts hold that the victory of the Britannia, if not glorious, was won cleverly; but they agnee that the Vigi- lant can beat the Britannia in pointing and reaching.
 The rules governing the contests for the Muir memorial cup require that the contesting yachts be steered by anna teurs. In obedience to this rule Lord Dunraven was at the tiller of the Val kyrie, A.

 A collision took place on tho Consoli- dated railroad shortly after s o'clock yesterday afternoon, which resulted In damaging m engine and two passenger coaches somewhat. The Boston express via the Air Line. commonly known as the Ghost train, Is due to leave New Haven at t;59. Yesterday the local train, No. 222, on the Hartford division, which Is due to leave New Haven at . o'clock, pulled ont ahead of the Boston train. It stopped In the cut, between Hamilton and Wallace streets, to wait for signals. For some reason the rear brakeman, who always acts as the fas- express. In consequence the express train came along Ut such rate Of speed thnt the engineer could not stop in time to avoid n collision. The engine, No. l20, rm into the rear of the accom- modntion and was derailcd. The pilot of the engine was broken ofi, und the frames and braces were bent. Some damage was also done between the en- zine and tender. The platforms of cars 522 md 53S of the accommodation were entirely demolished. No one on either train was hurt.

The Milwaukee roads trains are running about on time, al- though trouble was experienced at Sioux City and trains are expected to move rapidly tomorrow.
 The Pan Handle officials say they are receiving perishable freight, all freight houses are opened and men enough to operate the road. The Wabash Is mov- ing nothing, but passenger trains. At Litchfeld caboose was set on fire, then the oil house and freight houses were burned. The Monon is running passenger trains, but freight traffic is suspended. The Grand Trunk situa- ton Is improving and the Chicago and Great Western trains are running. On the Rock Island officials report trains stalled and trouble with the strikers.
