GROWTH OF LIFE INSURANCE.

The Amount Invested in this Way Has Greatly
Increased During these Prosperous Times.
Life insurance has become form of
Investment, and hence the amount of
business done by companies is as good
an index of prosperity as the savings
banks deposits, says the Chicago
Tribune. When a man is hard up he
surrenders his insurance policy.
When he is prosperous the first thing
he thinks of is whether he had not
better increase his insurance. The
annual report of the State Auditor of
Iowa shows how prosperous has effect
ed the insurance business in that State.
Last years report showed the number
OF policies in force to be 264, 543, and the
amount of insurance in force at S4O9-
4,O7O. This years report shows 317-
l12 policies and insurance carried
amounting to $4GS, 433, SAB. The
increase in policies for a year is so, ,61S
or nearly 20 per cent, and in insurance
carried $50, 129, ,473 or 124 per cent.

New Congressional AppOrIiOnment.

The main consideration in the
Congressional apportiOnment under
the new census will not be the conve-

but the brain of the Republican party.
That ratio between one Representative
to 1876, 900 of population and to 21O, 900
which shall promise to increase the
Republican strength most will be
selected. Already the statlsticians of
the party are figuring, and they have
found that on a basis of 100000 the
Republicans would probably gam
seven Representatives while on a
basis of 100000 there would be q
Republican gain of nine.

Cent Increase TO Miners.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IAN offer
Of 10 per cent in miners wages was
yesterday lnaugurated by the Phitadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany and this move 1t is stated will be
followed on Tuesday by similar notices
at every colliery in the anthracite re-
gion.
It is expected by the operators that
this increase in wages will be satisfac-
tory to the men and they believe many
Of the strikers will take advantage of
the offer and return to work. Mining
operations will in this event be given
an impetus and the operators expect
there will then be gradual resumption
until the collieries will again have
their full complement of employees.
The Philadelphia and Reading COM
pany operates 80 colleries and of these
q have been shut down owing to the
insufficient working force.
Whether the miners will accept the
offer of the company and return in suf-
icient numbers to operate the mines
oan not be foretold. Reports received
from several points In the Schuylkill
region where the Reading collieries are
located rather indicates that the mine
workers viii follow the instruction Of
their organization officials and remain
away from the mines
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers received no notice of the inten-
ton of the operators to offer the in
creases in wages and the intimation is
thus given that the miners organiza-
tlon will receive no recognition from
the ODprators

HAzLETON. Pa, Oct. at was ex-
.:ected in some quarters that yesterday
would bring a turning point in the
strike. but nothing came to the surface
that would lead to any indication of
the strike nearing an end. Since the
operators began to hold conferences
President Mitchell is receiving more in
formation than formerly and giving
out less. That he knows more about
the situation than he cares to tell is
hardly doubted by anyone
He has practically admitted that he
received advces from New York as TO
the doings of the operators. There is
still a lack of anything tangible on
which to base the report of an immedi-
ate settlement. President Mitchell COM
tLnues to deny that he knows anything

The strike situation in the Lehigh
Valley showed change in favor of the
men. Several hundred men quit work

WILKES BARRE. Pa, Sept. 29.-An
attempt was made to wreck a train
carrying score of non-uniOn men and
some washery coal at South Wilkes
Barre, on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey The men were from the STAN

were coming to this city on the train

which was being hauled to the No. s.

The train. as 1t neared South Wilkes

and sticks from behind a line Of coal
cars, where strikers were hidden. At
the same time the engine driver saw a
rail on the track ahead of him, but
managed to stop before he reached IL.
The strikers continued the fusilade
while the crew removed the rail, and
the washery men on the train protect

hiding in the cars or lodging between
them.

VOTING MACHINE LEGAL.
Test Cass In Chemung Ends In Victory
For the Mechanical Vote Recorder.

NORWICH, N. Y, Oct 2.-Supreme
Court Justice A. II. Sewell yesterday
denied the motion on the part of G. NJ.
Robinson, chairman of the Democratic
county committee of Chemung, for an
order requiring Mayor Frank II. Flood
of the city of Elmira to show cause why
ballot clerks should not be appointed
in that city for the coming election. II
was a test case brought for the pur-
pose OF testing the legality of the use
of certain voting machines at general
elections Roswell p. Moss of Elmira
argued the case for the relator. and
Herbert NJ. Lovel. city attorney of Ell
mira, George f. Yeomans of Rochester
and David Hays of Rochester appeared
for the defendants.
One of the Standard voting machines
such as are used in the city of Buffalo,
Rochester and Elmira was set up in the
courtroom. The relator contended that
the machine is illegal In that 1t does
not provide for votes to be cast separ-
ately for each of the presidential cleo
tors.
The defendants. on the other hand,
called attention to section 162 of the
election law, which says that voting
machines may be provided with one
ballot in each party column contain
ing only the words presidential cleo
tors" and that a vote for such ballot
shall operate as a vote for all the pres
idential electors Of that party.
The large expense to the cities that
had adopted voting machines in event
of the change back to the old ballot
system was brought to the attention of
the court. The relator declared uncon-
stitutional that part of section 162 of
the election law mentioned in that it
deprived voters of the privilege of split
ting on presidential electors.
The court in rendering it's decision
said that inasmuch as an appeal to the
court of appeals would probably be
taken in any event and because of the
short space of time intervening be-
tween now and election ne deemed that
an early decision would be preferred
at once, denying the motion.
