Life Insurance as an Investment-A Big
Transaction.

Life Insurance as an Investment-A Big
Transaction.
The great life insurance companies
have for some years contended that
they were Offering the best avenues
for the investment of capital, and that
even successful business men engaged
in active business could not do better
with their money than TO buy policies
with them. 1t must be admitted that
the arguments they were using could
not be easily put aside, but until re-
Gently the average business man was
not entirely willing to yield to this
statement, perhaps, however, the lead
eTs in the business world had not quite
considered it, although from time to
time increasing their life policies.
A recent large investment made in
this city would seem to indicate that
the claim of these companies, especial
ly the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, had been fully conceded.
Mr.. George Baird, resident of this
city, and an agent of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of which Richard
A. McCurdy is President, very recently
wrote two policies on the same day for
one hundred thousand dollars EACH the
revenue stamps alone amounting to
$4,000 and the annual premiums to
over $4,000. The gentlemen to whom
these policies were issued are engaged
in some Of the greatest enterprises in
this country, and are men not likely to
make such enormous investments with
out careful investigation and the great
est confidence in the plan of the policy
as a paying business venture. A life
insurance transaction of such magni-
tude is most significant as indicating
the feeling OF the shrewdest men Of
affairs in placing their capital in what
they consider the best investment TO
be had. 1t is significant further in that
it gives the man in a smaller business
and the busy one with a. little money to
invest the benefit Of knowing what in
, vestment is generally considered best
and safest by those in a position to
know. The greatest benefit perhaps is
that this sort of investment is aecessi-
BILE to every person with or without
any business experience We are glad
Mr.. Baird secured these policies. He
has always been citizen of Wheeling
and interested in Wheeling affairs.

The B. P. O. Elks Oriental Street
Carnival closed last night 1t was a
great big show, a credit to the city and
to the order under whose auspices it
was given. 1t was seen by more than
10000 people during the week. The
weather, with the exception of show
er one evening, was as favorable as if
it had been manufactured to order for
the occasion. In a spectacular or
amusement sense it was success even
beyond anticipation. That it was not a
greater success from financial point
of view is due to the fact that the Elks
did not stint themselves on expenses in
the matter of providing diverting and
entertaining exposition for the people
of Wheeling and vicinity. Citizens
turned out en- masse, and surrounding
towns did their share, but there was a
big disappointment in the attendance
from distance. This is accounted for
by the fact that many cities in Penn
sylyania and Ohio have been giving
street fairs. billed like the Wheeling
fair and the people have attended the
local shows, believing them to be the
real thing" The executive committee
has not yet struck a balance between
receipts and expenses, but when this
is done there will be a small sum on
the right side of the ledger, but a
smaller sum than the elaborateness of
the show. the favorable weather and
the amount of work done would justify.
Yesterday was the last day of the
Oriental show. To the hundreds who
visited the grounds every day. this as
Sertion carries with it considerable re-
greet, for the show grounds was cen
ter of merriment during the week, be-
sides being entertaining and instruc-
tive in its diversified features. The at
tendance yesterday was not what was
expected. There were less than 5000
paid admissions. 1t should have been
at least twice as large.
Last night the exhibitors street was
well filed. but the crowd on the Mid
way was much larger The last shows
in the Oriental section were given at
eleven o'clock. Meanwhile the work of
removing the decorations and exhibits
from the booths had already COM
menced. IL continued far into the
night-end will be taken up again to-
day by noon of Monday there will be
scarcely a vestige of the busy dream
city of last week, save the rough boards
and salvage.
Before eleven O'Clock the attaches of the
Midway shows started tearing down the
tents, and the carts were backed into the
grounds and conveyed the matter over to
the wharf This work continued all night.
The Midway shows go up TO East Liver
pool this morning by steamer. The show
viii be given there all next week, and dur
ing the following fortnight will be given
in Allegheny, Pa, under the auspices of
the lodge of Elks in that city.
The famous Tyrolean singers from the
German village will remain over Sunday,
and will participate in the afternoon and
evening concerts at Wheeling Park.
