HE was A GENTLEMAN.

A few days ago was passing
through pretty, shady street where
some boys were playing at base ball.
Among their number was a little
lame fellow, seemingly about IL
years old-a pale, sickly-looking
child, supported on two crutches,
and who evidently found much diff
6culty in walking, even with such as
sistance.
The lame boy wished to Join the
game, for he did not seem to see how
much intirmity would be in his own
way, and how much it would hinder
the progress of such an active
sport as base ball.
His companions, very goodna-
turedly, tried to persuade him to
stand at one side and let another
take his place; and was glad to
notice that none of them limited that
he would be in the way, but that
they all objected for fear he would
hurt himself.
"Why, Jimmy" said one at last,
"you can't run, you know"
ooh, hush !" said another-the tall
est in the party; never mind, I'll
run for him." and he took his place
by Jmmy's side, prepared to act.
III you were like him." he said, aside
to the other boys, you wouldn't
want to be told of it all the time. /"
AS | passed on l thought to my
self that there was true gentleman.

LIFE INSURANCE.

The recent attempts to delraud lie
insurance companies have aroused
an interest in this business which the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat seeks to
satisfy by publishing a list of the
names OF those who have an in
surance OF over $4,000 on their
lives. The list covers the whole
country, and it will surprise the
uninitiated by the magnitude of the
sums carried on the lives of many
men and a few women. The total
mounts up into the tenth numeral,
or the billions.
Taking the country through, there
are found to be $50 men and women
who have an insurance of 100000
or over on their lives. Pennsylvania
leads in this respect, having 1876 per-
sons with life insurance policy Of
100000 or over. Of these favored
individuals, 90 reside in Phila delphia,
So in Pittsburg, and the remaining
43 live elsewhere in the state. The
two men carrying the largest in
surances in the country also reside in
Philadelphia, the fortunate men be-
ing Iohn Wanamaker, with policies
aggregating 81 100000, and Hamil-
ton Disston, with policies amount.
ing to 100000. There are II men
in this city with an insurance of
100000 and less than 100000 on
their lives; II men with 100000,
and less than $25O.00O insurance,
and II men with $250,000 and less
than 100000 insurance. Two have
an insurance exceeding the last men
toned sum.
New York city has a larger num-
Der of persons whose lives are in
sured for 100000 or over than
Philadelphia, the total being ia,
but the total for New York state is
only 166, or thirty less than for
Pennsylvania. There is no man in
New York. however, who has an in
surance on his life approaching Mr..
Wanamakers. Chauncey M. Depew
and T. Havemeyer are the two
largest holders of lite insurance, each
having a million dollars. In this
respect milwaukee, equals New York
city, the former having two residents
who value their lives at $5O0,000.
Chicago has one resident who
estimates his life at that figure, and
Boston has one more, making six
men in the country each of whom
holds policies tor half a million
dollars. Massachusetts ranks third
among the states where life insurance
policies of 100000 or over are held,
there being 80 in that state. Ohio
ranks fourth with SO such policies;
Missouri fifth with 4S and Michigan
sixth with 46. Colorado equals
California in this respect, each state
having 25residents insured for $780,
900 or more. Senator John Sher-
man of Ohio, probably carries the
largest insurance Of any man in the
public service. his policies amounting
to $500, 900.

Oakland, Cal, July 16.-Superior Judge
O'Brien today decided in favor OF the
city IN the case of the City of Oakland
against the Water Front Co., otherwise
known as the Southern Pacific Railroad,
involving the title to eleven miles of
water front, valued at many millions of
dollars, and which has been practically
in dispute for forty years. The decision
does not pass directly on the title OF

bought In good faith from the Water
Front Co. The court holds that the city
cannot take possession of the wharves
built by the railway company without
paying for improvements.

A fire alarm was turned in last even
ing at s o'clock, says the Baker City
Democrat, but the department was un-
able to render any assistance whatever,
the confagration being beyond the reach
of the water mains. The fire fiend this
time visited Messrs. Kane & Wynn's
quartz mill, situated about three-quar-
ters of mile east Of the city. The
building and contents, a Tremaine plant,
were destroyed, the loss being about
1900. The origin OF the fire is unknown.
Mr.. p. Basche win probably be the loser,
he having secured Judgment against the
owners, and the property was to have
been sold by sheriffs sale yesterday after
noon, but for some reason the sale was
postponed. The owners OF the Emma
mine have been crushing ore in the mill
for some time past and yesterday marked
Their last cleanup. Mr.. Fuchs, who is
interested In the m.ne was seen by O.
reporter last evening and he stated that
1t was his opinion that spark from
the engine falling In pile OF shavings
near by was the destroyer.
