AFTER WORLDS RECORDS.

The st. Paul Athletic club has gone into
the record-smashing business with ven
geance, and President Egan promises
worlds records for some of his athletes
in the course of the next two moaths
Several records have been made recently
which are considered exceptionally good,
and In the fence vault j. w. Nolan has
capped all previous club records in his
recent feat Of clearing seven feet one and
half inchess a score only two inches
less than the worlds record.
w. M. Webster one of the strong men
of the club, has Just posted q record Of
176 pounds, dumb bell lift, snatch from
floor to straight up. With the right arm
alone, same condition. he has posted a
record of 10 pounds, the best ever made
in the city. With the left arm he scores
los pounds. 1i
The recent records have caused quite a.
furry among local athletes, and an effort
will be made at once to secure for the
club the worlds record in fence vault,
The club has already won several state
| records in athletic events, President Egan
holding the record for standing hop, step
and jump at thirty feet fiat, and the run
ming hop, step and jump at forty-three
feet and half. The club also holds the
state standing broad jump at ten feet,
two inches, only three inches less than
the best English record, made in 1871 by
J. ]. Tickle, of Manchester. F. A. Ben
durant holds the state running high jump
record at five feet nine inches, one inch
less than ]. w. Doyles record In 1895. at
Sydney, Australia M D. Nicholson holds
a pole vault record Of ten feet two inches
and the club registers a running broad
jump of twenty feet two inches, both
state records.
With records so near those which are
accepted as worlds records, the club is
entitled to a little feeling of pride AS
soon as the weather permits out of doors
work an effort will be made to corral the
honor of holding unexcelled records in
several events. In speaking of the states
scores In athletic events last night Presi-
dent Egan said:
Our boys hold so many records already
that / have come to the conclusion that
we might as we'll hold a few more. I
have been trying to arouse a little en-
thusiasm over several scores recently
made, and am confident that Nolan will
soon best his best effort at fence vault
with another three inches, which will
give him undisputed right to worlds
record We are after several other rec
ords also, and I am pleased with the
prospects before nus. With a little more
healthy rivalry, Liam confident that the
club will score dhonors we'll worth the
whfle.'' j 9Gct

Keenan,, of the L. A. W., said today in
speaking of the leagues membership:
There is nothing surprising or I'M
usual in the drop In the L. A. W. mem
bership on April 1. The membership of
all the old league clubs expires on that
date, and as they have sixty days in
which to renew, few, if any, send in their
renewals prior to the date of expiration.
The April drop this year was $780, In
1898 it was 11,o70, and in 1897 it was IL, 1853.
The membership is now of more SUBJ
stantial character than at any time since
I have been connected with the organi-
cation, and the new members are of a
class that will stick. Legitimate reports
from all sections are very encouraging.

with the University of Minnesota for
Nov. 4. This contest comes one week
before the Chicago game, and the accept

invalidate a life insurance policy unless
it can be proved that the insurer con-
templated suicide at the time Of taking
out the policy is sound sense as we'll as
sound law. The lower courts have often
held that the suicide clause is void, be-
cause suicide is presumably an insane
act, and no man can by contract make
himself responsible for acts that he may
commit when insane. Moreover, nearly
all the policies in which suicide is made
a cause for refusal to pay were taken
out long years ago, for the reason that
of late years this provision has nos usu-
ally been included in life insurance con-
tracts. On these policies of long stand
ing the insurance companies have been
receiving premiums for many years
past. In perhaps a majority of cases
the premiums, with accumulated inter-
est, amount to as much as the face Of
the policy, and in all cases to a consid-
cradle part of the indemnity promised.
To refuse any return in such cases
| merely because under some mad i'm
pulse the policy holder has committed
suicide would be most unjust. Fortu-
nately, the point is now settled, and set
tied right.

The Pension Rolls.

The decrease in expenditures last
year by the pension department was a
little over SO, 900, 900. The total expense
for pensions was s13S, 253, 1922. There are
ever new claimants, soldiers or their
widows. And applicants for increase
constantly appear. The child is not
born who will live to see the pension
list discontinued. The government does
not forget what is due it's soldiers, nor
would the people have it forget. There
are perhaps $4,000, 900 people in the
United States. OF these, one in eighty
almost receives a pension, averaging
perhaps $13 per month. But the major
ity who receive this stipend need it, and
many would become public charges as
| paupers but for the pension, as most of
the old soldiers are unable to labor in
competition with the younger men.
Many are incapacitated by wounds or
ill-health, and many of the pensioners
are and minor children who
have no one to support them. The pen
sion money, in ninety-nine cases in 100,
is Immediately expended, and this goes
back to the public, who supply the
funds for paying pensions.
