READY TO INSURE ROYALTY.
No Discrimination In Anne rican Cons
panies IL Made Against
Potentates.

In a cable dispatch printed here
recently II was stated that some in-
surance companies in Europe were
refusing to accept risks on the lives
of reigning potentates of the old
world, owing particularly to the men,
ace of anarchist violence, which had
been brought pointedly before the
view of insurance company officers
by the tragic death of King Humbert
of Italy. According to the cable adj
vices, one company which found itself
compelled to pay 100000, the value of
a policy on Humbert's life, recently
refused to accept risk on the life of
Alexander of Servia, who sought q
policy for 1O,00O,o0O francs. The cable
dispatch intimated that insurance
companies doing business abroad had
no more use for royal patrons who
might desire to insure their own lives,
says an eastern exchange.
Inquiry among officers of some of
the insurance companies of the Unit
ed States which do a large foreign
business developed the fact that there
is no discrimination against royal
applicants for insurance in the Amer
lean companies. Each application for
a policy of insurance in American
companies is received and acted upon
on it's own merits, without regard
for the accidental fact that the APP
plicant is royal parsonage.
"There is no discrimination against
kings" high officer of one of the
largest companies said. "We do not
boycott those seated upon throne"
He said that the danger from an-
archists might be considered in con-
nection with an application for insur-
ance, but that it would be considered
exactly in the light of certain quail
fications of various applicants in
classes familiar in this country; that
it would be considered among the
moral hazards, but that merely in
itself it would not operate to bring
about the rejection of the applicant.
The occupations of various applicants
for insurance carry with them vary
ing moral risks, which are taken into
consideration by the insurance COM
panies. The moral risks of certain
kingships would probably be reflect
ed in the premiums exacted in the
case of accepted kingly applicants,
but the accident of royal birth or
regal place would. not, American in
surance men say, deprive potentate
of the privileges of insurance which
he would enjoy if private citizen Of
any of several walks Of life.

THE CAPITAL CENTENNIAL.
First Meeting of the Committee on
Medals and BadEes.

The Committee on Medals and Badges
for the capital centennial celebration held
its first meeting yesterday afternoon. at
the Board OF Trade rooms. Although no
design for a medal was adopted, active
preliminary work was done. The sub-con-
mittee consists Of the following persons:
George E. Roberts, Director of the Mint;
A. Howard CLARK, Seymour w. Tulloeh, A.
H. Van Duesen, DR.. Franklin T. Howe,
Edward T. Bates, Simon Wolf, and Clar-
ence Corson. All the members are taking
an active interest in the work before the
committee.
A number of designs made by local
artists were submitted to the committee,
of which a number were excellent in their
conception. After considering the matter
az length ii was decided to act upon a
suggestion OF Mr.. Roberts and send for
C. E. Barber, chief engraver of the Phila-
delphia mint, to come to Washington and
meet the committee Monday afternoon.
The committee depends on Mr.. Barber to
advise it as to a design to be adopted. The
designs that have been submitted are for
the most part trifle too elaborate to be
prepared in the limited time before the
celebration. 1t is the intention of ths
committee to make up commemorative
medal the design of which shall be both
historical and artistic. The material used
Will be bronze.
The metal will probably be obtained from
old cannon captured in naval engagements
about the time when the seat of Govern
meat was established in the District of
Columbia. The committee will commune
cafe with the officers in charge of the navy
yards along the Atlantic to see IL such ma
terial can be procured there. Inasmuch
as he Government will strike the medals
at the mint free OF charge all the expense
IL committee Will have to incur will be
the cost of maSerial. The mint is able to
do far better work than any engraving
company in the country, and the result OF
the labcrs of the committee will probably
be a medal the superior from a historical
and artistic point of view Of any ever
struck to commemorate similar occasion.
The medals will be distributed to the Gov
errors of the various States Who attend
the ceremonies and to speakers who may
make addresses. The remainder will be
placed on sale to the public
