From Tit-Bits: The prince of Wales
is the heaviest risk of any patron of
the insurance business, and his death
would cost English, German, French
and American companies not less than
$4,000 900. No other person. said a
big insurance man, carries 20 per
cent of the insurance, but compare
lively little OF it is for the benefit of
his family. perhaps not more than
goo, 900. 1t is a curious fact" con-
tinued the insurance man, that
Gi00, 900 or $500. 900 of insurance,
perhaps more than that, has been
placed on the life of the prince Of
Wales as a speculation by persons
who do not know him and have never
had any relations with him whatever.
This would not be possible under the
insurance laws of the United States,
but it is allowed by some of the Eng
fish companies. In England any nan
may secure a policy on the life of a
neighbOr, provided that he can per-
suade the %neighbor to submit to d
medical examination, or find a COM
pany which has recently had him ex-
amined. Thus, when the prince of
Wales undergoes an examination for
insurance, lots of spectators apply to
the same company for insurance on
his life. or get certified copies of the
report of the medical examiner n
use them with other companies. 1t is
pure speculation. They pay a high
prCmiUm-a margin, so to speak; or,
to put it in another way, they book a
wager with the insurance companies
that the prince will die before the
total of their premiums exceeds the
amount of their policy. Therefore
many persons would be financially
| benefited if Albert Edward should drop
off suddenly one of these fine days"

LAND LEASING.

In an article discussing the leasing
problem, the Rawlins Republican says:
The general manner in which the
petitions protesting against the leasing
of public land by the state have been
signed here shows pretty conclusively
that the sheep men Of this county are
generally opposed to the proposition.
AS the representatives Of one of the
chief industries Of the state their views
are entitled to respectful consideration.
Whether or not there is much mis-
apprehension and misunderstanding
regarding the ultimate effects of the
leasing Of the range Ii a matter that
will no doubt be a subject for further
discussion. Why a man who has no
sheep on the range should oppose a
proposition which helps to reduce the
taxes on his home is beyond our ken.
The attempts of sheets like the Den
YER News, which has editorially advo-
Gated the leasing system in Colorado to
make political capital out Of the oppo-
sition to the proposition in this state,
will not prevent fair minded newspa-
pers from giving a full and fair hear
ing to both sides OF the proposition.
The state is now realizing $4,000
per annum from the rentals of state
lands, and if Congressman Mondelis
bill were to become a law the annual
rentals would considerably exceed
800, 900.
We do not believe that the sheep
men and cattlemen Of the state would
voluntarily assume this additional bur
den in the way Of taxation.
While the state is deriving this
revenue there are dangers and disad-
vantages to the live stock industry in
the leasing system which may out
weigh the benefits to be derived. These
are subjects which ought to receive
careful consideration before any action
is taken"

South African papers just received
relate that Osmond Tearle had a
curious experience while playing
Hamlet at Durham, Natal, the other
night. Suddenly, during Hamlet's
'nunnery scene" with Ophelia, the
electric lights in the theater went out,
and 1t and the whole town a in
darkness. Quick as thought Leonard
Rayne, who was playing Polonius,
seized a candle and, coming down
front. assured the audience hat they
had nothing to fear, and that he hoped
the light would be presently restored.
As a matter of fact, it was not until
the end Of the play that the light
which had sc suddenly gone out was
as suddenly switched on again. Can
dies consequently had to be resorted to
for footlights-which quite intensified
the funeral character" OF the grave
yard scene.-New York Journal.

FOR TWENTY CENTS A DAY.
Theatrical Man Gets Cheap Board at {
Rawlins Hotel.

Murray and Mack and their company
arrived yesterday and are at the Wind
SCR, says the Denver News. 1t was not
long after he reached the hotel that
Charles Murray, one of the comedians,
produced his latest story of life on the
road. 1t might be entitled How /
Boarded a Day in a Hotel in Wyoming
for Twenty Cents-in Three Chapters"
but it has not yet been graced with a
title.
According to the comedian, the COM
pany stopped at the Union Pacific hotel
in Rawlins. 1t was taken for granted
that the management of the various
railroad hotels do not have an over
abundance of love for theatrical folk.
At least those in charge of this p%artic-
ular hotel did not have much love for
this particular company, according to
the story.
1t was, of course, a one night stand
at the railroad hosiery and the COM
pany was prepared to meet with ac-
commodations somewhat inferior to
those of a city. All of these prclimi-
naries of the story were told to the
clerk of the Windsor before he receiv-
ed the benefit of the narrative itself.
When we got to the house, said tho
comedian, 81 asked the clerk to give
me a room as well lighted as possible,
because l wished to do some writing.
Well, he looked as If he belonged in a
livery stable instead of a hotel and sub
sequent events proved that he did.
You'll have to take what you can
get, answered his nObs, the clerk. /
didn't say anything, but took what |
could get, which the same was very
bum.
After l had found the aforesaid
room, l went down stairs and asked
his c~lerkship for some writing paper.
He said nothing but threw the paper
out with such violence that it flew all

to the room.

first down and went up to the desk and
asked the clerk how much | owed the

three silver dollars on the counter He
raked them in ~viciously and handed me
back just $3.50 in change. | didn't say
anything, but put the money in my
pocket and tool a chair in the office to
await developments.
The rest of the members came down
stairs one by one and settled up their
little accounts. After all of them had
paid and were loafing about the office,
| saw that same clerk figuring up mis-
accounts. He looked at the register. at
the account book, and then counted hi.

dozen times. Then he scratched his
head and thought. That is the way

We regret to note that there is a dis

predicting dire calamities fol us? Sup
pose their guesses should come true,
would not the injury of Laramie be an
injury to the entire state? We are in
The guessing business ourselves, and it
is our guess that Laramie has an ex-
ceedingly bright future before it. Not
only is the Union Pacific doing every
thing in its power for the benefit of this
city and all other cities along its line,
but our prospects in other ways are
exceedingly bright. Prospectors are
making new strikes almost every week
and the mines now being developed are
showing up exceedingly well. Cattle
and sheep are doing more for the resi-
dents Of this county and city every
day. And above all, We expect an in
crease in railroad business. The croak-
ers can do US some injury; some will
believe their woeful tales; but men Of

STATE r E COMMENT.
Wyoming at the Head

Wyoming at the Head
Governor Richards has found 1t
necessary to abandon the conference
Of governors, called by him to consid-
er arid land and irrigation questions
and to have met at Salt Lake, because
of the Indifference of the executives of
the states interested. The other noun
tain states have already Jagged years
behind Wyoming in these matters, and
could hardly be expected to catch up
with her at this time, yet it is to be
regretted that they will not make the
effort, and are contented, apparently,
with the position they occupy. Some
day they will lament their lack of am
bition and foresight. Meantime brave
young Wyoming will keep right on
leading the procession Of progress, and
winning all the laurels which her
sleepy sister states might share If they
would.-Saratoga Tyre.

GERMAN OPINION OF AMERICAN
LOCOMOTIVES. "A Chemnitz ne VS.
paper publishes the following:
The public was recently told, re-
garding the granting Of a contract
for twenty locomotives to an
American firm bV the Saxon Gov
ernment, that the American bid
was not the lowest, but that it came
near the lowest. Even this is not
confirmed, at least so we learn from
we'll informed parties. The Bald
win Locomotive Works, in order
to get profitable result as soon as
the decision should be known,
acted in the real American manner
by informing the Government,
after the publication OF bids, that
its price did not include the Ger
man duties. This would easily add
nearly 81. 900 to each locomotive.
This fact puts the price OF quite a
number OF German firms lower
than the American, and their
beautiful advertisement amounts
to nothing. We are convinced that
under these circumstances il would
never occur TO the directors OF our
State railroads to send the money
Of Saxon taxpayers to America, in
order to get goods acknowledged
to be inferior locomotives built
by the dozen. This
business trick is a good brother to
the one played by some American
tool making mills that have the
habit OF delivering az, 900 kilo-
gram machines instead OF those
OF 1000 Kilograms contracted Tor,
taking care to collect pay before
delivery. If one takes the trade
practices Of the trans Atlantic in
dustries into consideration, one
must certainly admit that the Ger
man industries, thank God, have
remained behind.
