FOR THE might OWLS"
ChicaEO's Y. NJ. C. A. Preparing to
Make a New Departure.

CHICAGO. Dec. 14-In pace with the ac-
counted "wide-open town. the Chicago
Young Mems Christian Association is likely
to become an all-night resort. The saloon
and the gambling house are to be squarely
rivaled for the patronage of the might
owls" and the gymnasium, bathrooms,
reading rooms and parlors in the big build
ing in LaSalle street will be found as live
~ in the hours of the early morning as dur
ing the staid evening. 1t is at the request
of numerous night workers that this alto
gethe~ new step in association work is be-
ing favorably considered. Yesterday COM
mittee of newspaper employees, mostly
printers, presented their case to the asso-
citation officials They pointed out that there
are thousands of employees who are released
from work at or in the neighborhood of
o'clock a. m. From that hour until daylight,
they said, was their evening, their time
for recreation and exercise. The opening OF
the association building, especially the gym
naSium, they pointed out, would anord
them a chance to spend their time profit
ably.
The proposal at first rather startled the
association managers. but after a short
consideration they fell in with the plan.
General Secretary Messer OF the city asSo-
citation, and Department Secretary Oates,
of the central department, both gave as
suranceS that the plan could be put into
operation, provided q sufficient number of
members for the night opening could be
guaranteed to make the experiment worth
while No definite number was demanded,
but it vas agreed that about two hundred
would be reasonable estimate The COM
mittee is confident that as many as are re-
qured can be obtained easily. Committees
have been appointed in every newspaper
office, and later in the week a committee
of one from every morning paper will meet
the association men for final conference If
the plan is carried out the association
building will probably be open only from 2

Secrets of Life Insurance.
49, TNAAIrIxy

For many years after life insurance COM
panies were started no surrender values
whatever were given on policies that were
given up. but the entire value of such
policies forfeited for the benefit of those
who kept their contracts in force This was
a great hardship to holders of policies who
could not continue to pay the premiums and
who were thus obliged to abandon them.
Now all of the old-tinne insurance COM
panieS are obliged by law to give a certain
return to the insured if he abandons his
policy after the expiration of two three
years. Some companies have gone to the
other extreme, and have offered liberal re-
turns to those who surrender their policies.
Others issue what are called "tontine poll
cies. that promise the entire reserve and
accumulated profits to all who keep their
policies in force to the end of a certain
poriod-say ten, fifteen, or twenty years.
Insurance agents have way of figuring up
what they think one. ought to receive for
his policy on its surrender, but no agent will
ever make an absolute written agreement
as to the surrender value of a policy beyond
an amount guaranteed by the company.
This guarantee is always a moderate one
much less than what the agents calculate
it should be. Fortunately, the law steps in
to regulate some of these matters, and I'M
der it's compulsion even an insurance agent
is obliged to tell the truth or take the con-
sequences. If a person desires to invest his
money in a life-insurance policy which shall
guarantee the payment Of a certain amount
in case Of his death, and which in case of
years shall return to him all that he has
paid in for life insurance, with interest
added ia the same, he must expect to pay
higher price than he would if he simply paid
for policy that guarantees q certain death
payment. The cash surrender value there
fore, means a value which the policy has
not only at the death Of the person. but at
any tirne when he may choose to give up
him some return of the cash which he has
paid In for his annual premiums

Their March Into the Sturi-KheI Coun-

SIMLA, Dec 14.-According to official dis
patches from the northwestern frontier, the
march of General Westmacott's brigades
from the camp at Sher-Khel into the Sturi-
Khel country was in continuous action. The
enemy closed up on the rear guard and kept
firing at short range with great spirit. The
British losses were neavy, and included
Lieutenant Wekot of the Gurkhas, who
was killed, and Lieutenant Champiar, who
was wounded. Two other officers received
injuries and forty men were killed and
wounded.
The whole march down the Rara valley.
since the 9th inst. has been marked by in
cessant fighting, but the force has behaved
admirably. The route was difficult in the
extreme. through rain, mud and snow.
Along the river the course was impeded by
ravines and powders, and the icy cold
stream had TO be forded knee deep twenty
times. Twelve thousand transport animals,
with numerous sick and wounded, encum-
bered the progress. The casualties yester-
day were about fifty and to-day about ten.
The enemy has been severely punished in
. the recent encounter.
The disaster to General Kempster'S rear
guard, that was cut off by the tribesmen
on Saturday near Sher- Kihel, was due to
the animals becoming entangled in the rice
fields at dusk. To increase the difficulty the
drivers and carriers opened kegs of rum and
became helplessly drunk. Many of their
followers were benumbed by the icy stream
and their feet bruised by powders. Sew
eral men are still missing

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Prof. William r.

day from Skaguay, Alaska, report that Col
lector OF Customs Godson who is stationed

many prospectors at Lake Marsh and other

Want to Retaliate ON Canadians.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Per-
kins, of California, and Senator Wilson, of
Washington, have had consultation with
Secretary Gage. in which they recommended
that the SUPPORT of entry of Dyea be abol-
ished. They presented numerous papers
and petitions to this effect, which represent
ed that Dyea as SUPPORT now furnishes
advantages to persons from British Column
bia which are not given to United States
citizens going through the passes and to the
Klondike country. British subjects now
ship goods to Dyea in bond and it passes
on to the Northwest Territory unhampered
by customs of any kind. United States cit
liens, the petitions say, meet with annoy
ances as soon as they reach the lakes in
British Northwest Territory. Although it is
claimed that 100 pounds per man is exempt,
there is often a great deal of trouble ex-
perienced. Secretary Gage said he would
investigate the whole matter and would also
ask the commerce committee of the Senate
to make a thorough inquiry.

The Fan River Cut in Wages.

FALL RIVER. Mass. Dec H.-Notices of
the proposed reduction of wages have been
mailed to the various cotton mills and were
distributed and posted to-day The notices
announce that the reduction will begin Jan.

manufacturers committee concluded it's
labors and adjourned this afternoon

general reduction of wages in all
departments on the same basis. The price of
weaving a cut 24-inch Ga by GA print cloth

reduction in all other departments, without
reserve. will be the equivalent of II 1-9 per
cent Contrary to report the schedule now

no changes will be made except the leduc-
ton. The secretary said that in the matter
of odds, which are being so commonly man.
