Here's a Chance.
From the Mortified News.l

From the Northtield News -.
The fact is that in license states
generally the government stamps are
largely in excess of the local liquor
licenses issued although perhaps not
in quite as large proportions as in pro-
hibition states. Where license laws
are rigidly enforced, however, the
boot leg peddlers and low dives eX-
ceed those in Vermont. There is no
denying the fact. however, that 442
liquor stamps in Vermont is altogether
too many. If certain newspapers
would put as much energy into de-
manding the enforcement of the pres
ent laws as they do in denouncing
and making uncomfortable the officers
and others who are actively engaged
in securing the best results from the
law the number of licenses would be
notably reduced from the present fig
ureS.

William a. Clark, the copper king,
who has been elected to the United
States Senate from Montana, may not
be allowed to take his seat. The in
vestigation after his election in 1889
showed that thousands of dollars had
been expended to secure his election.
While he may have been elected by the
present legislature without resorting
to bribery it may be held very prop
erly that his action two years ago
makes him unfit to participate in the
proceedings of the Senate at the pres
ent time.

Where is the Democratic statesman
who declared that he would eat all the
tin plate that would be made in this
country, when the first attempt was
made to establish this industry
through a protective tariff in the Nc
Kinley bill? Listen TO this from the
Springfield Republican: The tin
plate trust has an inflated capitaliza.

second place, pays per cent on the
preferred stock and per cent oil the

chiefly. 1t reports a considerable sur
plus earned above dividends, in the
third place What, then, is to be said
of the tin-plate tariff? Can it be very
much of a necessity beyond protect
ing the trust in advancing prices to
home consumers Of tin plate TO the
eXtortionate degree indicated in the
above dividends and earnings.

All preliminary rumors indicate
another change in the relative forms
of the yachts to compete next sum-
mer for the Americas Cup. Our yacht
of 1893, the Vigilant, was broader than
her rival, Valkyrie IL. In 1895 our
Defender was narrower. almost four
feet narrower, than Valkyrie III. In
the Columbia-Shamrock year there was
little difference, the foreigner being
still the broader. but this year the
signs are that Shamrock H. will be
narrower by not a little than the boat
that will sail for America. 1t can be
said, therefore, that no Cup yacht has
won on her beam. So the race still
remains in a satisfactory condition of
uncertainty.-[Ne York Sun.

In this connection we think it prop
per to state that the bread at

that found at either Syracuse or
Newark. The superintendent sta
ted that upon investigation he had
found that the GOLD MEDAL

nished more pounds Of bread per
barrel than other flour used, and
that Notwithstanding the fact that
this GOLD MEDAL flour cost more

tanned from it's use; he believed
the price per pound was therefore

the commerce of the United States in

last year SS29,O52 .1l6, an increase of
less than l per cent. in the decade

WHAT is LLoYD's?
Greatest Insurance Agency in the
World-The Place Where You Can
Be Insured Against Twins.


Be Insured Against Twins.
Most of the members of Lloyd's
carry on business as brokers or under
writer's on their own responsibility.
AS a corporation, Lloyd's assumes no
financial liability for the failure of
any of it's members or subscribers.
But it admits to membership only
men of reputation and means, who
must deposit a pecuniary guarantee
in order to become an underwriting
and non-underwriting member, an an
nual subscriber, or an associate. An
underwriting member must deposit
with the committee of Lloyd's $4,000
or $4,000, on which he receives in
terest and which may be returned to
him three years after he ceases to be
an underwriting member. He pays
an entrance fee of $4,000 and an an
nual subscription of 20 guineas. An
annual subscriber pays no entrance
fee, but an annual subscription of Z
guineas; an associate member pays
; guineas
There were in 1911 only seventy
nine subscribers to Lloyds. There
are now nearly 1000. The subscrib-
ers in the olden time, as now, did not
confine themselves to marine insur-
ance. They were willing to take a
risk on almost anything There is
still preserved at Lloyd's a policy on
the life of Napoleon Bonaparte for
one month at a premium of three
per cent. Bank deposits are insured
in Lloyd's; also, race horses, and the
lives of threatened monarchs. An
odd case was the covering of a risk
on pr1aCc ha1 r,aplypH in tuonty nocoo
for a certain sultan.
LlOyd's insured the Prince of Wales
jubilee stamps, guaranteeing that the
issue would be successful. The voice
of prima donna has been insured. A
tradesman in a London street who
has an impression that a monument
may fall on his shop. has taken out a
policy at the nominal premium of two
shillings and six pence per cent. Gate
money for cricket and football
matches: animals of all sorts ashore
and afoat are subjects for insurance;
policies against twins is a favorite
form of insurance. A well-known un-
derwriter is said to be always ready
to lay a thousand to one against
twins. Lloyds issues insurance
against burglary. Elephants are in
sured regularly. The life of the great
Jumbo, who came to New York on
Monarch line steamship, was insured
in Lloyd's for the voyage to New
York. He was not insured when the
life was knocked out of him by loco
motive on an American railroad
whose tracks he was rossing. A
celebrated singer recently took out an
insurance in Lleyds 0n the life of
Queen Victoria. She paid a big pre-
MUM on account of the age of the
Queen. The reason the singer did
this was not because she cared any
thing more than most folks for the
Queen. but because her contract to
sing would have been abrogated by
the Queens death, shiek- wa y s71a4RRtal II ilsz,Ve

terday, in the case Of John E. Evans
VS.. the German Insurance company,
rendered a decision which is of inter-
est to all property owners.
Evans brought suit against the com.
pany to recover $1S7, which loss was
occasioned by fire. The insurance
company answered, claiming that the
policy issued on the Evans property
had been rendered void previous to the
fire by reason Of the insured keeping
can of gasoline in his dwelling house,
the terms of the policy being that no
gasoline should be kept in the insured
property except that contained in the
reservoir Of the gasoline stove. Judge
Hole held that the gasoline being in
the can in the insured property would
not render the insurance policy void
