Infant LIE Insnrnnce.

There is before the Massachusetts, leg
islature a bill to prohibit life insurance
companies from insuring the lives of chill
dren under ten years Of age. The bill is
backed by petitions for its passage, based
on the ground that infant insurance is
detrimental to the public morals and well
fare.
Only few weeks ago the Morning News
commented on report from the office
of the state commissioner OF in
surance OF Indiana. in which it
was stated that in the city of
Indianapolis half a dozen or more chill
dren had been murdered by their parents
for the purpose of collecting insurance
on their lives. Evidence sufficient to bring
the unnatural parents to justice could not
be secured, but there was no doubt in the
minds of the inspectors of the insurance
department that the children had been
permitted to die for lack of food and
medicine in order that the parents might
pocket a few dollars. Such instances are
infrequent, or the insurance companies
would quickly stop the business without
being compelled by law to do so. They
are in that line of insurance for profit,
and there would be no business in con-
tinuing a system that raised up criminals
to rob the companies by murder. Never
theless the opponents of the system do
not hesitate to boldly charge it with the
propagation of child murder.
Infant insurance finds its chief patron
age among the poorer and more ignorant
classes. The strongest inducement held
out to such persons is that by insuring
the child's life. a fund can be provided
with which to defray the funeral ex-
penses in case of death. Honest people
would be UNNECESSARILY scandalized if an
agent were to suggest that a monetary
payment would compensate for the loss
of a child. At the same Time all people
who have charge of children are not low
ing and tender parents, and the probabill-
ties are that in instances where the parent
or guardian would shrink in horror from
any criminality, the fact of the existence
of policy on a sick child's life engenders
an indifference almost as dangerous to
the child as a criminal intent. If the
| companies would insure children against
| illness, and thus provide a way to pay for
medicine and doctors bills for them they
would do commendable and philan-
thropic class of business. However, in
suranee companies are not charity organi-
cations.

Several years ago my wife had a mar

st. Louis Republic. 1T not only had
large vocabulary of words, but 1t pos

voice Of different people about the house
Poly Initiated cats, dogs, street noises
ana almost everything else She stayed
IN our room a great deal and spent part
of her time admiring and talking to her
sell IN the morror. Well, one day a lady
called on my wife, and while they were
downstairs was upstairs with the parrot
All at once the parrot began an angry
TRADE in which must confess was a very
good imi tation of my voice After a while
he switched off to a female voice, but
kept uO the same kind of racket 1t was
very funny, and l suppose our enjoyment
OF 1t caused the bird to repeat the per-
Torrance at frequent intervals.
Some time afterward my wife came to
me with tears in her eyes and declared
that Polly must be killed forthwith She
had just heard all kinds of cruel rumors
about the terrible quarrels we were hav-
ing daily. 1t was warm weather and the
windows were kept raised. When Polly
got TO giving show the whole neighbor-
hood was scandalized under the impression
that my wife and were having all kinds

that neighbors got to inviting friends to

Old Ii Hung Changes last days
seem destined to be the most
eventful and exciting of his life.
AS soon as he left Tien Tsin for
Pelxin to get instructions with regard TO
the peace negotiations. number Of ex-
perts were put to work overhauling his
accounts. 1t will be remembered that he
had just got out of tilt with the en-
peror, in which he lost his yellow jacket
and several other things. The expert ac-
eountants, it seems, have found evidence
that Ii has been cheating the government
for years. His books show that he has re-
ceived pay for 100000 modern rifles that
cannot be found. The Chinese penalty for
that kind of thing is death. When Ii got
to Japan a mob tried to pay its respects to
him, and according to our dispatches of
yesterday a frenzied Jap actually sue
ceeded in sending a bullet into the old
man. He was told by the emperor when
he left for Japan, Now don't come back
unless you succeed" If he should sue
coed in making a favorable peace. there
would await him at Pekin the matter of
the 100000 rifles to be settled. The per-
son who is merely between the ID and
the deep blue sea- is on velvet as COM

Ice Water Scared Him.

A stalwart traveller entered a fashiona-
BILE uptown hotel the other evening and
registered from Kentucky. says a New
York letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
He gave some directions about his bag
gage and was asked by the polite clerk
if he would have some ice water sent up to
his room.
whats that?" he asked, in a tone a
man might assume on being suddenly in
formed that there was smallpox in the
house.
'Will you have ice water sent to your
room?" repeated the clerk.
"Why-here! Hold on a minute about
that baggage-what is this I've struck
Is everything else out?'
"Oh, no; you can get anything you want
here" replied the smiling clerk.
That's all right. then. Excuse une-but

Mr.. Watson recalls the fact that Mai
Black agreed to his suggestion that. the
extra election in the Tenth district should
be held within thirty days from March l.
But Mr.. Watson evidently did not re-
member at the time he made the propo-

ing whatever to do with fixing the time
for holding the election. Mr.. Watson
seems to have proceeded with the under
standing that the Office OF congressman
for the Tenth district belonged to him
self and Mai. Black in common, and that
they could decide between themselves
which should have it for his own. Gov
Atkinson is doing precisely right in hold
ing the election off until the people get

o little flower maiden,
Choose me a nose gay rare,
That ! may carry to my love
And weave into her hair.
Choose me the simple blossoms;
The heralds fair of spring
To nestle in her bosom
Where love lies slumbering.
The lily of the valley
The tender. budding rose,
Shall vie with dainty snowdrop-
The fairest flower that blows.
For none shall kiss my maiden
But flowers, pure and fair
NY hand shall bear them unto her,
And weave them in her hair.

So it is Mr.. Kohlsaat, of Chicago. ac-
cording to report, who is going to run
the new republican newspaper in New
Orleans. Mr.. Kohlsaat is a successful
journalist and a man of money He
was born in the same town that gave
L. S. Grant to fame and has always
been himself radiant from the reflected
light of that fame. Some years ago he
acquired the Chicago Inter Ocean, and
in a short while made that paper famous
for the intensity of its hatred of the
southern people and the intensity of its
love for the blacks. Love stories, with
black hero and white heroine, who got
married after their trials and lived hap
PLY ever thereafter. were of the class of
Sunday illustrated literature sometimes
to be found in Mr.. Kohlsaat's paper. 1t
appears that there are a good many peo-
pie in Illinois who like to read that Etnd
of thing, for the eminent journalist from
Galena was able to run up his subscrip-
ton list. and sell out his paper for
good profit. 1t may be seriously doubted.

Is There Discriminntione

1t is by no means certain, as claimed by
some of the lingo journals, that Great
Britain intended to discriminate against
this country when she insisted that the
third member of the commission to ar
bitrate the claim of certain of her citi-
zens for damages against Nicaragua
should not be a citizen of any American re-
public. 1t is asserted that Great Britain
at first demanded that the third member
Of the commission should not be a citi-
zen of the United States, but afterwards
modified it to its present form. At first
glance it would seem to be Great Britain's
purpose to discriminate against this coun-
try. A further consideration of the de-
mand, however. shows that It is suscepti-
bic of another Interpretation, namely, that
Great Britain recognizes an identity of
interests between this country and Mic
aragua. and that therefore the arbitration
commission would hardly be an unbiased
one If. of a commission Of three, Nicara-
qua should have one, Great Britain one
and the third, the one having the casting
vote, should be a citizen of the United
States. Such recognition is of more i'm
portance to us than the appointment of
one of our citizens ON the commission could
possibly be-
And it might be embarrassing to us If
one of our citizens should be a member of
the commission and Great Britain should
be compelled to adopt harsh measures to
compel payment Of the damages, if any
should be awarded. 1t is by no means
certain that Nicaragua is able to pay the
$4,000 which Great Britain has perempto-
rily demanded, for the expulsion of Vice
Consul Hatch from Bluehelds. Her treas
ury is chronically empty and her resources
are small. 1t may be that It is better for
us that no one of our citizens is to be
member of the commission.

AT Anderson, Ind, the cash value of
wife is IS in hand on delivery and $50 to be
paid in four equal monthly payments. At
least those are the terms upon which one
man at that place purchased the wife of
his neighbor, upon the authority of
newspaper correspondent The chances
are that the woman in the case got the
better of the bargain. Her husband was
not actually worth S25 or even 81, intrin-
sically. The chances are that she could
not have given him away. At the same

reprehensible than the matrimonial bar
