Child Life Insurance

There is very serious pother stewinv
over the question of children's life insur
ance. says the New York Criterion. To
insure chIldren's lives seems at the first
glance a proper enough thing to do, but II
is mooted question If it is not putting a
premium on murder. A good many grown
folks get killed first and last for their in
surance. but Miss Fay, regular contrib
utor to the Charities Review, maintains in
q recent article that killing children for
their insurance is a regular, safe and re-
munerative industry, and she brings a
great many facts to prove her case. The
late archbishop of York used to quote
personal friend of his and medical man
who systematically refused to take charge
OF any sick child whose life was insured:
ne considered that death was practically
assured.

Totals .$11 ,916SSS Sc, 921 1876
Our total exports of domestic merchan-
disc, 1t is shown. aggregated nearly s12,-
900 900, s., 900 900 more than in the preceding
year. and regarding trade for the present
year, it is said that the slight falling off
that may be shown from the 1897 total will
be due largely to the lower prices of
number of articles exported, and not to
any falling off in the quantities shipped
For instance, mineral oil exports gained
100000 gallons over last fiscal year, but
the total cash value falls considerably be-
low that of 1897. owing to the decrease in
price, In the table of exports above shown
1t will be seen that onr shipments of cotton
cloth nearly doubled in value in one year,
while those of petroleum increased more
than so per cent: those of iron and steel
manufactures were nearly four times what
they were In 1896, wheat flour shipments
nearly doubled, and exports of clocks and
watches show proportionate gain. IT is
when contrasted with preceding years
however, that the best examples of de-
velopment Of our trade in Asia can be had
and this is Illustrated in table of exports
to China, Japan and Asia for a period of
years ranging from 1880 down to 1897, pub
lished by the bureau of statistics, which
shows that our exports to China In 1897
were nearly four times what they were in
1880, those of Japan more than double, and
those to all Asia increased exactly 100 per
cent. Compared with earlier years, the
Increase is even more pronounced. The
outlook is that our total exports to all
Asia this year will amount to about $i5,-
600, 900, gain of 10 per cent over last year
more than double those of 1890, four times
what they were in 1880, and ten times what
they were in 1870. OF this total about cne-
third goes to China. another third to Japan
and the bulk of the remaining third to
India and the East Indies

The unprecedented coinage for the past
year is due to the unusually large amount
Of gold imported from Australia since Au-
gust, 1887 Most of this gold has been in
the form of English sovereigns. Valued
IN American money, these imports foot mp

The lifeless condition of the mining stock
business is, If possible, further deadened,
says the Mining and Scientific Press, by
the war bill which became effective on the
18th inst. by which the stockbroker Is re-
auired to pay two cents on the transfer OF
every lot of stock of the face value OF
500, and an additional two cents FOR reg
!stering It., which practically prohibits
transfers Of low priced stocks. ANY stock
board report illustrates this Take,
for instance, the San francisco
stock board, 1900 Alta, cents"
The "face" value of that block of stock
at 800 per share would be 100000 under
the new law the tax on that one transact
ton, if actual transfers take place, would
be $40. Where, as in the case of industri-
ais, the market and the face" values ap-
proximate, the new tax falls lightly, but
unless less rigid Interpretation is put upon
the new law it will "knock out" the bust
ness of board mining stocks so far as ac-
fNal ira nsferS are concerned

Number of Them Given Jobs Near St
 Louis on Railroad.

The news comes from St. Louis that about seventy-five of the negroes who left the Birmingham district for the Pana mines, and who were taken back to St. Louis after the riot, now have paying jobs in that city. They have been given work digging a railroad grade in East St. Louis, and it is said that they are getting s1.25 a day. This work will occupy about three months.
 Hundreds of the other negroes who went up from Birmingham are being kept in one of the cities near the striking district, and it is said that they are being fed at thSSx- pense of the state until some arrangements can be made for sending them back to Ala bama.
 There is a big pile of trunks and other baggage belonging to the last sqaud of miners who left Birmingham, the ones that preeipitated the riot. There was not enough room to take 1t on their special train, and it was left behind to be sent on later But as all of them are to be sent back to Birmingham, the baggage will be left where it is until they return.

 stroyed at Dallas, Tex.

Dallas, Tex. October 20.-A four-story brick building owned by J. c. Dargan, of Atlanta, and occupied by the Texas Drug company was burned here this afternoon.

The building seemed to burst into column of fire. The thirty or forty em- ployes escaped with difficulty. One, boy named Ernest Hermichel, was compelled to leap from second story window. His left arm is broken and he is internally injured.
 Tanks of oil in the cellar exploded soon after and burning brands were hurled all over the business section of the city. The loss is estimated at $150,000.

CHEAP RATES
To Porto Rico and Other Points in the i West Indies.

Announcement was made a few days ago in these column: that the West In- dian Excursion company, of Atlanta, Ga., would conduct an excursion about Novem- Der, 10 to Porto Rico and other points in the West Indies. The parties who have charge of this excursion are among the best and most careful business men of At lanta. The fact that they have chartered splendid sea-going vessel with the ca pacity to carry about $50 first-class pa- sengers, and have arranged every conven- fence and comfort for them, shows that they have been moving in the right direc- ton.
 It is said that the round trip, including all the expenses of whatever character, to Porto Rico will be very low. Many applf- cation have already been filed at the Att 1anta office, and, of course, the first $50 people will be the ones who will get the tickets, as only that number can be ac- commodated.
