Mr.. Chas. B. Spahr OF Columbia Univer.
sity has recently examined the records OF
the surrogates OF thirty five counties in
the state Of New York, covering the last
three months of 1893 and including the
counties OF New York and Kings, the
richest in the state. The results are re-
markable as showing how few people
leave any estates at all and the low aver
age values OF the estates left.
Out OF 10000 persons over twenty five
years of age dying during the quarter, only
1856 left estates equal to or exceeding q, 0O0
2,466 (" averaging 1892
6,649 !" " valued at 0,0OO
Think OF it Less than per cent were
worth 50 600 and less than % per cent were
worth q 1892 when they died. The con-
clusion is that whether 9,115 out OF every
10000 leave an estate of $1,000 or not de-
ponds upon whether they have life insur-
alice for that amount or not.
