Sunday shaving, to secure clean bar
Der shops and sanitary working meth
DDS and to make the apprentice serve
three years. The bill now pending
proposes to establish a Board of Elk
aminers, who shall be members of the
State Union. They shall get $500
year and serve four years. They
will issue diplomas on examination,
which proves that the applicant
knows how to shave and not scrape
and rub down swollen head in a
scientific way. The shaver who is a
real barber will get license that he
will hang over the first BARRIERS chair
and he will be entitled to the conf
dence of the public. The bill compre-
hends very clean shops towels,
brushes and the like. The Hoboken
BARRIERS have a bill which is intended
to enable BARRIERS to close on Sunday.
They want the right to keep open un-
til Sunday afternoon at one O'Clock.
When this bill comes up the Union
BARRIERS will amend it to close at one
O'Clock Sunday morning, and it looks
now as If the Union BARRIERS will win.

M'DERMOTT'S ORATORY.
About the sweetest bit of oratory
ever heard in the Senate was Senator
McDermott's eulogy on the late At
torney General John P. Stockton. 1t
was gem and very properly was
ordered spread in full on the minutes.
Ex-Assemblyman George Poole came
in for some honors this week. The
report of the State House Commission
to enlarge the State House and erect
the new Senate Chamber brought out
many favorable comments. Some of
the papers published excellent cuts
of the plans he drew and he came in
for many congratulations There are
some doubts whether the appropriation
act will go through this session. The
reasons are not to be given to the
public at present.
The Hobart Memorial Joint Session
promises to bring together distin-
guished company in the Assembly
Chamber next Wednesday. The
capacity of the chamber limits the
tickets and the demands made by
State officials who want to hear the
eulogy of Attorney General Griggs,
is heavy and the members will not be
able to be very generous with their
tickets The President may be present
though there is nothing positive about
it. Some member of the Cabinet will
represent him and many, if not all of
the New Jersey delegation in Congress
will be present.
The newspaper men of the session
of 1900," will have their annual ban
quet on March 6, with the Governor
and State officials as their guest, and
it promises to be one of the smartest
of all their successful functions.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

The past twenty-five years have
been in many respects a marvellous
period. The development of electri-
cal inventions, appliances of the rail-
road and street railway systems, auto
mobiles and a thousand other novel
and important inventions have mark
ed wonderful advance in the worlds
history.
business and financial world enor-
nous strides have been made, and
particularly has this been true Of life
insurance.
On another page of this issue is
found the Twenty-fourth Annual
Statement of The Prudential Insur-
auce Company OF America. whose
Home Office is in Newark, N. j. The
career of this company, which is all
embraced in the period above men,
toned, forms a striking illustration
of this development.
Commencing in 1876 as purely In
dustrial company, it was not until 1886
that it began operations in the Or
binary department. During this
term of less than fourteen years this
Ordinary department has grown SO
rapidly that, in the amount of bust
ness issued, and income and insur-
ance in force, it exceeds in size most
of the large life insurance companies
| doing Ordinary business exclusively.
During 1899 The Prudential wrote
new business, Ordinary and Indus.
trial. to the amount OF nearly $222.-
| 700, 900, being a larger amount of new
| business than was written by any
Company in the world during 1899
and a larger sum than has been
written by any life insurance com.
pany at the same period of its history
The total assets of The Prudential
are now nearly $34, 900, 900. No bet
ter guarantee than this can be offered
that its policy holders are well cared
for That they have been we'll cared
for in the past is evidenced by the
fact that The Prudential paid its
policy holders during 1899 over $6, 600
900, and that during the twenty-foul
years of its history the Company has
paid in Claims, Dividends, MatureC
Endown ents, ETC., more than $40,
900, 900.
Many other figures showing thu
magnitude of its operations are re
ported, but these are spoken of par
ticularly since they reflect so credit
ably upon the management of thii
great institution.

THE MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.

A hundred years hence other dis
ciples of Washington will celebrate
his birth with no less of sincere adj
miration than we now commemorate
it. When they shall meet as we now
met to do themselves and him that
honor, so surely as they shall see the
blue SUBMITS of his native mountains
rise in the horizon, so surely as they
shall behold the river on whose banks
he lived, and ON whose banks he rests,
still flowing on toward the sea, so
surely may they see as we now see,
the flag Of the Union floating on top
of the capitol; and then, as now, may
the sun in his course visit no land
more free, more happy, more lovely,
than this, our own country. Web

CO-INSURANCE.

Senator Reeds bill to regulate fire
insurance will cause many persons to
read their fire policies with new
interest The bill, which is worthy
measure, provides that insurance
companies using the co-insurance
clause in their policies shall make a
reduction i'll their premiums proper
Tomato to the amount of loss the COM
panies will pay in case of fire.
The co-insurance clause requires the
insured to insure at least so per cent.
of the value of his property and if he
does not, no matter what sum he is
insured for, he will get in case of
total loss only a proportion of the
amount OF his policy.
If the house is worth $40, 600 and he
insures for 49, 600, the company agrees
to pay one-half of it's risk, or So, 500,
because by the co-insurance clause,
the owner assumes half of the risk
and the company the other half Any
loss less than total is divided in the
same way. The company will pay but
one-half of its risk, although the
owner is paying on $4,000. If every
one who insured against fire fully
understood the effect of the co-insur-
ance clause, there would be less objec-
tion to it, but the great majority of
insurers do not understand the effect
of the clause, and for the benefit of
all the people it should be made clear
and the demand that the company
charge only for the risk it assumes is
only fair.
If the companies want to force every
one to insure at least 80 per cent. Of
the value they should refuse to insure
property for lower percentage of
total value. There is an element of
fraud in the present practice of COM
panies which use the co-insurance
clause. They charge for insurance
that they do not give. Jersey City
