INSURANCE.
L0Ht0n is cRARIIY MAD.

London is charity mad Always a
city prone to beg on every pretext the
war has been taken as an excuse to
work the public to an extent unprece-
dented. First came the Lord Mayors
or Mansion House fund for the benefit
of the orphans and widows of soldiers
killed In the TransvaaI. Ii was popu-
lar from the start, and now amounts
to fSO0,OOo, or nearly sl.5o0.ooO, says
the Chicago Tribune. All this money
came from clubs. societies. business
firms and private individuals as a re-
press by the Lord Mayor. The largest
single subscriptions were $4,000. given
by the Duke OF Portland. and an equal
amount by an Australian, who refused
to allow his name to be made public
William Waldorf Astor responded at
the start by giving $4,000
Then came rne Daily Telegraph's"
shilling fund for the same purpose.
This now amounts 20 1000, 900 shillngs.
or about s273.oo0. Next came the
Daily Mails" fund raised through
Kiplngs poem. '"The Absent Minded
Beggar." Kiplngs price FOR the work.
HoOOO was donated by TIE author TO
start the ball rolling. The right 10
print the poem in .TEngiand. America
and the continent was sold To news
papers for s25.a hundred or more paying
the fee. Then Mrs, Beerboilm Tree
volunteered 10 recite the poem every
night at the Palace, Theatre at $500 a
week, and donate her salary to the
fund This opened.up a nep channel.
and now Mrs. Brown Rot.er and twen-
ty other actresses and actors ~ lesser
note are following Mrs. Tr.e's example.
To still further increase the fund sir
Arthur sullivan set the words to niu-
sic. and the song Is being sung in half
a dozen music halls. Copies Of the song
and fac-similes OF the original OF the
poem are also being sold at a shilling a
copy. As result of all these different
schemes the Mail has raised nearly
$50, 900.
