Are You in il?

Mr.. Chas. B. Spahr of Columbia university
has recently examined the records OF the sur
rogates OF thirty five counties in the State OF
New Y ork, covering the last three months OF
1893 and including the counties of New York
and Kings, the + chest in the State. The re-
suits are remarkable AS showing how few
people leave any estates at all and the low
average values OF the estates left.
Out OF 10 900 persons over twenty five years
OF age dying during the quarter, only
sS5 left estates equal To or exceeding 5000
q IS averaging l293
664p valued at 0OOo
Think of IL Less than per cent were
worth s5OOO and less than 25 per cent vera
worth 1922 when they died. The conclusion
is that whether 9ll5 out OF every 10000 leave
an estate OF $1,000 ar not depends upon
whether they have Lie insurance tor that
amount or not.
