II would seem in view of the

exactly-the statue OF silver

majority of the group con-
tended that silver was not a
legal tender in sums exceed
ing $40 and it required t h e
production of a copy OF the
Revised Statutes OF the UNI

to the contrary. The act OF
1873, generally spoken OF as

the ACT was suspended five

BICYCLE GIRL BARRED.
Accident Insurance Companies Will
Not Insure Her.

From the Chicago News.
The bicycle girl cannot be insured. This
is the decree of the accident insurance COM
panies.
The reason for this is as odd from bust
ness standpoint as the fact itself. 1t is be-
cause of the frivolity of woni.n; that is,
she makes frivolous claims for damages.
The accident insurance policy usually
calls for payment of 5000 in case Of
death. and in case of disability the weekly
payments range from 81 TO $GJ week, ac-
cording to the extent of the injuries. the
annual payment to secure this insurance
ranges from 81 to $40 In different COM
panieS. Scarcely a day passes that fea,i-
nine bicycle riders do not visit the iEsur-
ance companies as applicants for the poll
cies. but now they are invariably told they
cannot be insured under the rules agreed
to by the underwriters.
In the early stage of bicycling wome n
were insured. and 1t was found tha. Claims
for trivial or imaginary injuries were made
by them so frequently and pcrsistently
that the underwriters would be bankrup;ed
| If one-half Of them were paid. So the COM
panies. at a joint meeting. made rule
that women bicyclists should be debarred
| from accident policies.
All women are not excluded. however.
Those who POSSESS separate estates :n1
| who are engaged in business which re-
| Quires their personal attention and in
wolves travel By rail or steamer are treat
J ed as desirable TlSkS. II tncy are injured
| while riding a bicycle for health or pleas
ure. they receive the benefits of insurance.
| Bicycle riding is not considered extra haz-
ardous except In the case of professional
riders. The ordinary rider for health and
| pleasure. even If he is a 'seorcher,' Is con-
| Sidered a desirable risk
| cycler may fall from his wheel and get
both eyes blackened and yet not recover
| compensation If insured in an acciden:
| company. 1t all depends OH the nature o:
| his business. If he is a lawyer. a doctor OF
| a bank clerk. he will recover damages. be
cause the injury makes him :ioa-present-
| able an1 he Is disabled from attending
| to his duties. But If he happens to be q
! mechanic or a truck driver and his vision
| is impaired. he receives no money. be-
| cause his personal appearance is not sup
posed to count. This Is one of the Guee,
phases Of accident insurance.
Superintendent Eaton said that nearly
one-third of the claims recently male fol-
damages under accident policies came
from bicycle riders. These who break ar
arm or leg or are otherwise iaeapaci:ateG
from attending to business receive S25 Il
