THRIFT OF CALIFORNIANS

Suggestive Figares from the Report Of the
State Insurance. Commissioner
The report of the Insurance commits
sioner of California is just published. 1t
shows that the Bankers Alliance of Los
Angeles exceeded all the other life COM
panies doing business in the State. In
1895, the amount written was $5.7O6,T5O
against So ,O4S,750 in 1894. The amount
In force in California December 81. 1S94
was $5,57S,75O, which had increased by
December 81, 1895 TO $9,343,00O. show
ing an increase of SO, IS $50 during 800.
The New York Life wrote in 1894, S6.753.-
600, but it declined in 1895 to $3,696,670.
The lapses of this company in the entire
state for s95 were 6,177, 900 or 50 ,4s0,-
800 more than the new business written.
The Equitable life wrote $2,054,399 in
1895 and SO, SSS.723 in 1894. The lapses
in 1895 were S2.s92 ,O35, or 1897 .036
more than the amount of new policies
written in the same time.
These figures are very interesting, in.
dicating as they do the general prosperity
of the state, and that it is accompanied by
habits of thrift and kindly care for those
who might be in dependent condition but
for the provision which insurance secures.

Atlanta Ca, Oct. 24-Thousands of de-

Frederick Crisp, as his remains laid in
state under the dome of the capitol.
From IL o'clock in the morning until .
tonight the people of Atlanta and repre-

When the casket was placed In the cap
ital rotunda the dais was covered with
wealth OF beautiful flowers. The caskets
lid was thrown back and through the
glass could be seen the calm features of
the dead. Sickness had wasted Judge
Crisp's strength, and his face was little
thinner than when he was in health.
An expression of relief rested upon the
face, an expression that settled upon it
as soon as the fatal paroxysm of pain had
passed.
Just before the end came Mrs. Crisp
had passed out of the room for breath
of fresh air, leaving Mr.. Crisp with a
nurse. Mrs. Crisp remained away but

in bed, his pillows propped about him.
Just as she returned he looked toward
her, and placing his hand to his heart, eX-
claimed as his features contracted with
agony: "Oh. that pain"
These were the last words he spoke, for
as soon as they were uttered he fell over
among the pillows, and when his head
was lifted the soul had gone out into the
mysteries of the beyond. The panied ex-
preston faded away and the features
were calm and peaceful. Had it not been
for the pallor. one might have fancied
that Judge Crisp was only sleeping
A military guard was kept by the cas-

THE MILITARY ACADEMY
In a Flourishing Condition, According to
the Annual Report.

Es.
Washington, Oct. A-The Military
academy at West Point is in fiourshing
condition, according to the annual report
to the war department Of Colonel Ernst,
superintendent, who says 1t is passing
through an era of Improvement so far as
its. equipment and outward physical con-
ditions are concerned, due to the greater
liberality of congress in recent years.
The curffeulum, both theoretical and
practical, is the result of many years ex-
perience, and has proved Itself well adapt
ed to the objects of the institution. I'M
provement in that direction is less rapid
and. less radical than in the other, but
there also the academy is advancing, as
will appear from a perusal of the ap-
pendices already referred to as attached
to this report.
The professors and officers are accom-
plished, each In his sphere, and devoted
to their work, and deserve well of the
government.
The number of cadets this year, 357, in
Guiding one foreigner receiving instruc-
tion by special authority Of congress, is
the largest ever belonging to the academy
at one time.
The recommendation IS renewed that
senator's be allowed to appoint two ca
dets at large from each state, thereby in
creasing the number of cadets.
The health of the command during the
year was far from satisfactory. There
were epidemics of influenza, malarial fe-
vers measles and whooping cough. There
were several cases of appendicitis and
other desperate diseases. Only one ca
det died. An abundance of good healthy
food In sufficient variety was furnished
at an average cost of SO cents per man
per day. Clothing, books and other arti-
cles were secured at low rates, except the
case of drawing Instruments each cadet
had to purchase. These cost $23.05, or
more than half months pay.

morning at 3 o'clock, at the infirmary of
Drs. Davis & Davis.
Mr., Sibert came to this city several
days ago to have an operation performed
for aneurism of the thorax, but his condi-

visable to attempt it. All that medical
skill prompted was done for the sufferer,
but to no avail.
Deceased was resident of Gadsden,
where he was held in high esteem for his
many noble qualities, and was associated
with Hon. Amos e. Goodhue in law prac-
tice.
Mr.. Sibert was chosen as an elector on
the Bryan and Sewall ticket, he being an
ardent free silver democrat.
The parents of Mr.. Sibert were at his
bedside when the end came. His remains
were taken TO Gadsden yesterday for in
terment. Capt. w. L. Sibert of the
United States army, stationed at Little
Rock, a brother of deceased, has been eo-
prised of the sad occurrence, and is now
EN- route home to attend the funeral.
