The Prudentia1,s Exhibit.

Visitors to the Pan American Exposition
this summer should not fail to examine
the exhibit of The Prudential Insurance
Company of America, which occupies a
readily accessible part of the Liberal Arts
Section of the Manufactures Building.
The exhibit was prepared by the Statisti-
clan of the Company, Frederick L. Hoff-
man, and occupies about 1926 feet of wall
.space.
To the millions of Prudential policy
holders this exhibit will undoubtedly
prove one of considerable interest, but in
particular will it be valuable to all who
are interested in life insurance problems
and results. Students of statistics and
members of the medical profession will
find the exhaustive exhibit of medical sta
tistics of considerable scientific value.
The exhibit is indicative of the high de-
gree of care and skill with which the in
terests of policy holders in The Pruden-
tial are protected.
The Prudential Insurance Company OF
America has always devoted much labor
and money to the scientific study and de-
velopment of life insurance in this coun-
try, but never before have the results OF
the Company's investigations been placed
on public view on so large scale. There

pertain to the general Industrial expert
ence of the Company, which is sufficiently
large to warrant reasonably accurate con
illusions as to the relation of age, sex,
race, nativity and occupation, to human
longevity. The published data pertaining
to the rejection experience of the Com.
pany are unique in that they are probably
without a parallel in life insurance Stats
tics. The diagram showing the mortality
by occupations exhibits at a glance the
actual results of the experience of The
Prudential during the three years 1897
1899. OF the total deaths occurring dur.
ing that period among male policy hold
ers, 20 per cent. were of persons engaged
in manufacturing industries, 219 per cent
laborers and ill-defned occupations, IA
per cent. dealers and merchants, and so Oh
down to 1.2 per cent. for persons engaged
in government and defense.
An exhibit was made by The Prudential
at Paris last year and met with such favor
from the Jury of Awards that a gol6
medal was granted to The Prudential, the
only gold medal awarded to an American
life insurance compady.
Many facts are brought out in the Com
pany's exhibit of interest to policy
holders, as indicating strong tendency
towards constantly increasing degree Of
liberality in dealing with the policy
holders interests.
The vast extent of the Company s
office and field operations are brought out
by the fact that The Prudential has Is
officers, 1904 managers of departments
and clerks at the Home Office in Newark,
N. j., and an agency and field medical
staff of over IA, 900 men. 1t is also inter-
esting to note that. The Prudential has
over 1000, 900 policies in force, number
equivalent to about twelve times the po-
pulation of Buffalo. The amount of in
surance in force exceeds $500, 600, 900.

Mary Ann Reynolds, of New York /
city, will get $1,000 left by her husband,
in Jersey City, because she remembered
his toes were webbed like those of duck.
Reynolds died July 16, and had deposited
in various savings banks over $4,000.
None could describe the old man salts

She declared the dead man deserted her

Last February an eight-year-
daughter of William Fenimore, of Lower
Alloway, swallowed a pin. A physician
was consulted and the child was put on a
diet of bread and potatoes. In three days
she was relieved of the pin. Last week
the little girl swallowed another pin. A
treatment similar to that used before was
followed, and in four days the second pin
was removed, without any serious effect

Hank Drummer, woodman, living on
the north slope of the Watnong mountain,
near Beach Glen, had fierce struggle
with black eagle Saturday morning. He
was chopping wood in his yard when he
saw the eagle rise nearby and begin Giro
ling overhead. AS he had seen the bird
on several previous days, he had his rifle
with him, anticipating shot. Picking
up the gun he took careful aim and fired.
The eagle fiuttered to the ground nearby,
one of its wings having been broken.
Drummer walked towards the bird, expect
ing to find it dead or dying, but when
about dozen feet away the eagle flew at
him in rage He used his gun as a club
to beat off the bird, but could not with
stand the onslaught, and soon turned and.
ran, his hands and face bleeding and his
clothes torn to shreds. Arriving at the
wood pile he picked up the axe, and with
that again attacked the bird. After few
swings of the axe he severed the eagle
head. The bird was magnificent speci-
men, measuring eight feet from tip to tip,
and weighing twenty five pounds.

TUESDAY, AUGUST s, 1901.

ACCEPTING as true half of the stories
published about affairs at the state hospital
for the insane at Trenton, there seems to
be every reason to believe the investiga-
ton that has been started did not come
any too soon. 1t matters little whether it
is the result of somebody's disappointment
or spleen, if there have been misdoings
the result of the inquiry will justify the
cause. Dr. William F. Jones has asserted
that he served at the hospital for eleven
years, during which term he has seen a
condition of affairs that was not in keep
ing with the requirements of the institu-
tion. To this arraignment the State Ga
zette makes counter charge against DR..
Jones and asks why he kept quiet all these
years and now comes out with his accus-
ations after he had been discharged for
drunkenness, characterization and neglect
of duty. There seems to be chance for
thorough investigation here. The Gazette
says if DR.. Jones understood his duty
last year and the year before as he under
stands it now, he sadly neglected it. !"
This evidently means he was kept in a
responsible position, having under his care
class of people who deserved the best of
attention, for two years while it was
known he was not in condition for the
trust. Perhaps it would be well to look
into this phase of the case. Did DIR.
Jones hesitate to tell what he knew for
fear of dismissal, or did the superintendent
retain him for fear of having him make
the statements that are now given to the
public2 This investigation is In the right
path. Let the probe sink deep, regardless
of who may be exposed. If any institu-
ton should be free from scandal. the
hospital for the unfortunate creatures who
have lost their reason should be that one

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Sometbing New Under
The SUM-"


All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid gases,
inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and a specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected

Street Commissioner Townsend Cox and
Edward Quain were laying large sewer
age pipes for the city yesterday, when
the earth caved in and covered them up.
Workmen quickly dug them out and med

was not injured.
Lewis Smith, a colored boy, aged II
years, son of Charles Smith, of Burling-
ton, who disappeared from his home at
that place of July %, has been found at
Bordentown. He is in the custody of
Charles W. Brown, the oyerseer of the
poor. His father has been notified.
Albert Caldwell, who was arrested at
Bordentown and taken to Toms River
where he was locked up, charged with
breaking into freight cars and stealing
therefrom, is still in jail, being unable to
secure bail. Caldwell was employed on
the Pennsylvania railroad as freight
hand on train running to the shore.
Not single favorable expression has
been heard as to the proposed location of
the new railroad station. AS understood
it is to be way down at Blacks creek No
doubt it will be a lovely walk to reach it,
via Park street, but the Cocoanut Hill
route would require lengthy stairs or an
elevator. While the community is CRATE
full for anything in place of the present
double barreled, double-tunnelled, and
very crooked platforms and antediluvian
buildings, still the "Pennsy" owes it to
the future as well as to its own reputation
for accommodating the public to give us a
station little nearer town anyway. The
present sites, but not the buildings, are
far preferable to that now proposed.
The peculiar epidemic of temporary
loss of voice which is prevailing at Mill

that he believes it is caused by the excess

says during these hot nights, when people
are unable to sleep In their bedrooms,
they go to the cellar and other unusual
places and there take cold. When they
wake they are troubled with sort of

Golf In the old Days.

Centuries back golf was pastime of
the royal family, though then usually
played In Scotland. The Stuart family
was very fond of the game, and the
first English club was established at
Blackheath in 1908 by James l. His
eldest son, Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with club, where
upon he coolly remarked, Had done
so 1 had but paid my debts" Charles
1 was playing golf when he received
the news of the Irish rebellion. James,
duke of York, afterward James II, was
another ardent player. Golf Is fire.

Thrlce-a-Week Edition; The Most
Widely Read Newspaper
In America,

3 Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice-a-Week World stands alone in it's
class. Other papers have initiated its
form but not its success. This is be-
cause it tells all the.n news all the time
and tells it impartially, whether that
news be political or otherwise. 1t is, in
fact, almost daily at the price of a
weekly and you cannot afford to be
without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrlce.a.Week World with alb
solute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes first.
class serial stories and other features
suited to the home and Preside.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 100 per year
and this pays for 1856 papers. We offer
this unequal!ed newspaper and The Re-
PORTER together one year for $1.9O.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is $3.50.
