HEAVILY INSURED WOMEN.
Scarcely a Score out of the Hundreds
of NiIIiOnaiPes.

From the New York Times.
Americas richest women are not believ-
ers in life Insurance. TO an amount proper
iionate to their means. Nothing under
S5O0oo is considered heavy insurance. and
according to the latest list of prominent
patrons of life insurance, scarcely a score
Of American women carry policies of this
amount or greater. Mrs. Hetty Green
lately of Brooklyn, now of Hokoben, is
probably the richest woman in the United
States, with her SCI, 100000 or more, as she
undoubtedly is the shrewdest and closest
of her class in the lisa of millionaires. As
she has a daughter and a son, il would
seem as If she would have a. heavy in
surance upon her life. If she carries any
at all it Is below the $4,000 mark
Indeed, II insurance authorities are to
be believed, there is not a woman in New
York who carries an insurance policy of
$4,000. And New York probably contains
more women rich in their own right than
any other city on the globe
Mrs. George Hearst of San Francisco
holds policy on her life of 100000 Only
two. other women in America can come
anywhere near touching this figure Mrs.
Hearst, the widow of Senator Hearst
who made millions in mines, banking and
real estate. Is backing William r. Hearst

Mrs. Margaret B. Croker, mother-ip-
law of the rich Elmira politician. Jacob

daughter, Mrs. Jennie Fassett. carries
100000 more. Mrs. Crocker Is the widow

army or navy officers, and to arrive at a
compromise would be like trying 40 reunite
the branches of the Christian Church. Any
attempt 10 establish uniformity OF caliber
in the army and navy weapons will only
result in a great loss of money TO the gov
erument and injury 10 the professional
standard Of the service whose arm viii
have to be changed. Suppose a congress
sional committee is appointed. 1t Will
know nothing about the advantages of the
Lee and the Krag-Jorgensen and viii have
TO arbitrarily select one or the other arm.
A board of army officers composed of some
OF the brightest ordnance experts in that
service, carefully tested a large number
OF weapons submitted TO it, and as re-
suit of that competitor adopted the Krag-
Jorgensen rife, the Lee weapon was IN
proved, and a board of naval experts,
Commander G. NJ. Converse, a most eff
ficient officer, among them, selected the Lee
straight pull. At the time of me adoption
of this rife we ordered 1000 and this or
der has been supplemented by 500 more
II Congress were TO direct the abandon
ment of the Lee. the government would
lose about 100000 in arms and ammuni-
ton
We print this statement rs we receive it,
but it is a specimen of very fallacious rea-
soning. There is no use to which naval
smallarms can be applied in these days Of
qaick-fring artillery. which requires any
difference of caliber in the arms of the
army and navy. There IS no possible argu-
ment, thar we can see, except that of pow
erty and necessity, in favor of having
three different calibers, one for the army,
another for the navy, and third for the
state troops. Excellent as il may have
been in its day, the Springfield arm is now
out of date.A simple comparison of its ira
jectory with that in more modern weap-
ons will prove this. II Is cruel to compel
raw troops to face an enemy armed with
superior weapons, covering a danger space
far in excess of that possible TO the
Springfield. To give these guns to the mil
tia may be a matter of necessity but it
is impossible to justly such action upon
theoretical grounds. In case of extremity
we should no doubt be able 70 supply our
selves with the best weapons from abroad,
as the union armies and the confederates
did during the war of the rebellion, in
spite of the prohibition upon the exporta-
ton Of contraband of war. Hence the ne
cessity of understanding in advance the
actual facts Of the situation instead of suf-
feripg ourselves TO be misled by false theo-
ries and old-time prejudices.

THE QUESTION OF CALIBERs.
How the Difference in Army and Ma
w Rifles Affects Ammunition.


From the Army and Navy Journal.
A high official of the ordnance DEPART
ment of the army, in discussing the propo-
sition to provide interchangeable ammuni
ton for the army and navy small arms,
said to a Journal representative; 'sThe
army is perfectly satisfied with its i'm
provement of the Krag-Jorgensen rife
and the navy is apparently well pleased
with the Lee-Metford The changing of
the cahber or the abandonment of either
arm in order to utilize interchangeable
ammunition would seem 10 be unwarrant-
ca unless some other good results than
that convenience merely are 10 be accom-
plished. There has never been a time
when the army and navy have been in a
position where II was necessary TO call
upon each other for ammunition and such
a time seems now very remote. A careful
investigation OF the adaptablity of either
arm 10 the service in which 1t is not now
used would have TO be made before an
Intelligent opinion on the matter could be
given.
1t has been frequently stated that the
navy before adopting the Lee etford
rifle examined and discarded the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle used BY the army This
is not true as the present army rife is
not the original rag-Jorgensen, but an
improvement OF the fifth gun made bv
these people. 1t has never been used by
any naval experts and no opinions Of its
naval uses can be now expressed. Neither
has the navy rifle been tested for its
adaptabilty 20 ordinary military service.
J 90 not think the interchangeable ammu-
nltlon Idea will be popular with either

AT the present moment when the pre-
parations for war and actual war with
Spain Is engrossing the attention Of con-
gress and the public. matters otherwise
OF the highest Importance are almost en-.
tirely Obscured or receive but scant con-
sideration.
Interest In one such question, under
the above title, Is revived by an excellent
article In the April number OF The For.
um, from the pen OF Milton II. Smith,
president OF the Louisville u Nashville
railroad company. II is worthy OF the
most careful perusal by close readers, for
IL diselOses what may be termed the per.
nieious tendency Of n phase OF national
railroad legislation.
The article 10 called out by the de-
mands OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for increased powers. which de-
mands are embodied In Senate Bill 1884,
introduced by Senator Cullom. This
measure proposes 10 clothe the commits
sion with extraordinary attributes-at.
tributes never intended In the original
law, and having M counterpart In the
legislation Of England, the most adyanc-
ed and liberal Of all the paternal govern
ments Of the world.
BY the provisions Of the bill "the com
mission Ia given the power 10 bring be-
fore II at all times. upon complaint OF
without complaint, any number Of inter,
state carriers; To Ok for them maximum
rates for the transportation OF freight
and passengers; 10 fix minimum rates,
when necessary to give effect to the com.
missions ideas as 10 the comparative ad-
yantages localities ought 10 enjoy; e
establish through routes, to ok through

thereof; 10 change elassi1catiOns O

lations under which traffic shall move

cllities the carrier shall afford. Ever!

commissioners may dictate"

The maid who binds her warriors sash.
And smiling all her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash,
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear.
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the field Of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword.
Mid little ones who weep and wonder.
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asundef;
Doomed nightly In her dreams to hear
The bolts OF war around him rattle.
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field OF battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While TO her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief.
Kissing the patriot brow she blessesi
With no one but her loving God,
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as er the sod
Received on Freedoms field Of honor.
