II NOTICEABLE feature about the
preparations for the St Louis con-

u NOTICEABLE feature about the
preparations for the st. Louis con-
vention was the abnormal increase
IN the number of life and accident policy
writers who seemed to spring up in all parts
of this city like mushrooms in dark soil.
Every man in town who was out Of
job Immediately took off his coat and
waded into business, and as a result many
of them can live in comparative luxury
until true for another convention rolls
around.
The reason was very evident. Every
body in Washington that could get away
has gone to st. Louis. The newly-made
accident policy writers saw what har-
rest they could reap by fitting each man
out, for nominal consideration, with a
policy that would leave wife and children
with an ample fortune in case he went down
before the enemy, or in tie event the train
leaped from the track and broke his limb,
would fully compensate him for the injury.
The new writer's camped in the corridors
of the Capitol, and mingled in the crowds
in hotel Corridors in bewildering numbers.
Their eloquence carried tie day, and many
a man carried away policy who had Dever
had one before.
