ROYAL ARCANUM.
New York VIII Refuse to Accept Police
men-Here and There.


The Royal Arcanum of New York will,
it is said, at the supreme council session
to be held in June next at St. Louis refuse
to accept policemen as members of the
order for this reason: The rumor is based
on the fact that the insurance companies
have of late been assiduously studying
statistics. In 1898 the death rate in the
Royal Arcanum was little over nine
tenths of l per cent of the whole order,
and for the police it was over y per cent.
Although the police are all supposed TO be
perfectly healthy men when they go on
the force, they are obliged to be out in all
sorts of weather, and as result pulmo-
nary diseases are no unusual thing. The
majority of the deaths is caused by some
lung disease
The total payments to date have been
500, 041, 716.4S.
The "a councils of the order in Boston
and vicinity are doing good work.
Nine years ago the membership of the
order was 81, 600. Now it is 100, 600.
Nearly 10, 600 members have died since
the institution of the order.
