Are You In Il?

Mr.. Chas B. spahr of Columbia University, has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of thirtv-ive counties in the state of New York,
covering the last three months of 1898 and nClud-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul are remarka
Bile as showing how few peopl' leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left.
Out OF 10000 persons over twenty-five years of
age dying during the quarter, only
$50 left estates equal TO or exceeding 5000
1856 averaging 1899
664g valued al OOOO
Think gift! Less than 9 per cent worth
5000. end less than p per cent were worth $l292
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
9ll5 out of every 1900 leaves an estate of 5000
or not depends upon whether they have life in
suranCe for that amount or not.
