tity of n young woman found drowned In tho

n1eH PRICED LIFE INSURANCE
Rettso to $500 N1ernbers or the Unitea Ldrs
to PaI Up sIss. lsp.


-Four thousand and three hundred persons,
more than one.half of whom live in the city of
New York. will ind In their mails to-day or the
next few days unpleasant reminders Of a burst
insurance scheme, and these will DO in the form
of demands for money which must be met.
These persons were all members of the United
Life Insurance Association, which began bust
ness in 1885 and won't into the hands of q re-
coiyer in 1896. The association was based upon
the assessment plan. The persons who Joined
IL might DO of almost any age and might insure
for almost any amount. Tho amount that each
one was to pay Mt each assessment TO meet tho
losses was graded in accordance with the age
of each and the size Of his policy. Each person
was told that his assessment would be a certain
amount, such as $40 $15, or $50, but that the
bylaws provided that these sums might be made
greater IL the losses made this necessary.
As a matter Of fact, the impression was so
strongly made that the sums fixed at the time
each member Joined would DO the actua, sums
REQUIRED that the managers Of the concern
never dared TO call for more. This was what
brought the concern. TO immediate ruin. A re.
almost from the date of the first assessment
more money was needed to settle the losses than
was actually called ID for or. on snb Assessment = n mt .a IT was
were to remain solvent, that after each. assess
ment was paid the association should owe
nOInlTR IL III thob WI ohO u NhO
earlier assessments, there should. upon each
$40 assessment, have been 80 cents added and
upon larger ones sums in proportion. Taking
one assessment after another and these short
ages are found. until the aggregate amount
which should have been called for ON each SO
grade policy, and wasn't. amounts to more
than $11S.
These calculations have all been made by Der
nard Is. Mexican of 800 Broadway, who was
made receiver OF the corporation. The total
amount which he finds 1t is necessary TO get in
to close up the associations accou ats is SlsS,-
1873. The individual assessments which make
up this amount vary from u cents TO nearly
ST 900. These facts were put before Justice
Maddox. sitting in Special Term in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn on Jan. ID. and he authorized
tho assessments and gave the receiver power
also TO bring suit against any member who fails
10 pay up. Tho demand must be met within
thirty DAYS. When the money has all been paid
in 1t will be used to pay the death claims which
were due before Aug. 10, 1896, when tho appli-
cation was made for n receiver. Several mem.
bers have died since that time. but they. will
not only get nothing, but IL they left estates
these estates will be required TO pay the
amounts of the present assessments, on their
policies. The 1900 members get nothing now
TO show for the money paid or what Is to be
paid. but a quittance, as it is considered that
each ono got his moneys worth as he went
along in the assurance of having his policy paid
in case he had died before Aug. 10, 1896.

Policeman Cooper of the West Fifty.fourth
street court squad. who is assigned to the task
Of catching beggars, began work yesterday
morning before finishing his breakfast. When
he answered n ring at the front door OF his
house at 1897 Columbus avenue, he was con-
fronted by a beggar, who asked for 10 cents.
Come in. you poor. unfortunate man" the
policeman said. land have some breakfast,
anyhow. Then well talk about the 10 cents
afterwArd."
The visitor followed Cooper into the dining
room, saying that he had time to "ait, but he
declined to cat anything. Not even Mrs.
Cooper's hot homemade biscuits tempted him.
and nc waved aside a cup of coffee. There
was nothing to alarm the guest. because the
policeman's shield was covered by his napkin,
and the tramp told a tale of woe that made
Cooper's lO.year.old daughter feel like crying.
1T was the best joke ] ever had in the police
business" Cooper said in court. and l strung it
out az long as ! could by eating twice as much
as ! wanted while he sal there waiting for that
dime. When there wasn't 70 much as a slice
Of bread left on the table, / called the turn and
told the man that he was my prisoner. My
little girl said, oh, paDa!' and the beggar said.
oh, hell! But he took IL good naturally, and
laughed all the way down to court"
The prisoner, who described himself as John
Rourke, was committed to the workhouse.

pulled toward the lad, rescuing him just as he

said;. but in the gathering twilight nothing

of distress were heard by Mr.. Murdoch, who
rowed back with the shivering boy.
AS the fcrrvboat Transport was ploughing
through the floating ice on her way from Rhine
cliff TO Rondout. the pilot noticed n tiny light
Hudson. and wondered what it was. Again the
light was seen. and then a faint cry was heard.
The ferryboat's nose was turned in the direction
where the light had been seen. and soon a small
rowbOat, in which were Lyman Perrine and
Charles Schumacher Of Sleightsburg. was dis
covered. Boys and boat were taken on board
and brought to this city. The youths were
