Sensible Insurance Advice.

During the severe hot weather at the
beginning of July, when the thermome-
ter was soaring in the neighborhood of
100 degrees, the clerks in the home Of
fees of the big life insurance companies
were kept busy recording ana paying
death claims, when were coming into
the offices at a great rate. This was
especially true of the companies which
conduct an industrial, or weekly paw.
ment business, many of the policy
holders being of the poorer or middle
class.
During the first nine days in July
The Prudential Insurance COMPANY Of
America alone paid nearly 800 death
claims, where the policy holders had
died from sunstroke, although the aver
age OF that company for any whole year
since 1881, was only 1902 cases.
On one single day. July 9th. The
Prudential also paid 200 more Industrial
claims than it ever paid before on any
one day, the total being GAG claims and
the amount of money paid out running
up to nearly 100000.
The majority of these deaths were due
to the intense heat, or from disorders
brought on, or severely aggravated by
the hot weather. In the larger cities
about one-half of the policies paid on
above mentioned date were cases of
heat victims. For example, in New
York city 80 claims were paid on heat
cases out OF total of II cases; in Brook
lyn there We're so heat victims nut of S5
death claims paid; while in Philadel.
phia A out of IA claims were paid on
people who had died from the heat
In seven large cities, out Of 800 claims
paid, 1853 were on heat victims. These
are insurance facts worthy for people to
remember and to the man or woman
who wonld procrastinate, the answer is
plain. II you're healthy now, insure
now.

I'm AND OUTS OF BUFFALO,"

The automobile has become the ty-
rant of the highway, as the bicycle was
for time. and the fast trotter was be-
fore the days of the wheel says the
Newark Call. In time this will be
regulated, as the public becomes accus-
toned to the invasion and as the invad-
er learns not to abuse his power.
Meanwhile the automobilist who
scorches and who is the cause of acct
dents must expect punishment, and
local authorities should be severe in
their regulations If the time comes
when the price is reduced and the mac
hinery is simple and durable and the
cost of running moderate, there will be
new delight in living, especially for
the suburbanite, who, in New Jersey, at
least, has roads perfectly adapted to
this means of locomotion.

cHILDs FoR GOVERNOR.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:


Since mention was made some time
ago of Samuel Shannon Childs of Ber-
nardsville as probable candidate for
governor, some unique developments
have occurred. Fret, it is a satisfac-
ton to notice that the democratic organ
of Bernardsville, the News, has come to
a sense of its duty to its neighbor, Mr..
Childs, and advocates him in glowing
colors. In fact it is so eulogistic in it's
description of Mr.. Childs as to cause
Republican to suggest the starting Iof
subscription to which he proposed to
subscribe to buy a barrel of angels
wings for Mr.. Childs. Now this is not
nice. 1t is turning a serious matter into
jest. Then again some people say he
has no show as he and his family are
users Of automobiles, by which an utter
disregard is shown for the comfort and
safety of the masses to the use of the
public highways, and also that he and
his family are the chief movers in the
scheme to build high school adjacent
to the Childs lands to enhance their
value, and which will necessitate anoth-
er bonding of the township, when in
fact the ChiIds family for years have
fought the payment of the cid bonded
Indebtedness. This school project
means increased taxes.
Now, putting all these points aside,
Mr.. Childs is the coming candidate. OF
course, as the BernardsvilIe News says,
he is honest, and therefore would spend
his money to help elect the democratic
ticket. One of the county papers says
he has twice run for office and been de-
feated. Well, he may succeed the third
time. He is strong candidate.

The new warship Maine will mount
the most powerful battery ever placed
on battleship in this country, if not
in the world. Four high-power twelve
inch guns will be mounted in pairs in
the two turrets, fore and aft, and six
teen of the new navy inch guns will
flank her broadsides. This gives a con-
centration of four twelves and eight
skies on any object that appears on her
beam; and, as if this were not sufficient,
she has tremendous battery of six,
three ana one Founders and machine
guns. 1t has required nearly two years
to build the hull, and another year will
elapse ere she is ready to take the sea.
She will cost 50, SS5, 900 and will carry
a crew of $40 men. AT cruising speed
of ten knots, she will have steaming
radius of about twelve thousand miles
on her normal coal supply.

Concerning "Skeeters. i"

After trip through South Jersey
Professor John B. Smith, State Ento-
mologist, made for the purpose of stndy.
ing mosquitoes and their breeding places
the professor says that ultimately some
plan may be devised whereby the pest
may be exterminated. He found that
the mosquitoes in South Jersey breed in
running water and not in stagnant pools.
He has also compared specimens of the
mosquito from the southern part oil the
State with others, and finds it larger in
size than those from central and north
Jersey; he is convinced that the pest
may be lessened by system of draining
or ditching in infested localities.

Weather and Crop Conditions.
CENTRAL OFFICE, STATE EXPERIMENT
STATION

New Brunswick, N. j., July 90, 1901.
The first half of the week was warm
and sultry, with showers almost daily,
greatly hindering harvesting operations
in all portions of the State The latter
half was more favorable, although still
warm ard sultry. Grain in shock in
the fields was either housed or stacked
and in places, in a somewhat damaged
condition from sprouting, but no very
serious injury is reported thus far
Where threshing has been done, the
yield is about ten bushels per acre less
than last year, while the yield of straw
is largely above the average.
Corn has grown very rapidly and is
tasseling in many fields. In some places
in the Southern Section the Boil worm
is doing some injury. Potatoes and all
truck crops are now in most promis-
ing condition, and pasture plentiful;
apples, plums and peaches are still drop
ing from the trees; the former will be
an unusually short crop grapes in At
lantic county are very promising. The
temperature was about 70 above the
daily normal, and the rainfall below the
weekly average.

The secret service bureau has received
several banknotes printed from the
original plates used by the State Bank
of New Brunswick, N. j., over fifty
years ago. The bank went out of
existence about that time, and it was
supposed that the steel plates from
which its notes were printed had been
destroyed. 1t is believed that these
plates have fallen into the hands of per-
sons who have printed from them large
quantities of notes, which have been put
into circulation from New York to San
Francisco. Inasmuch as the notes are
not counterfeits of any United States
note or obligation the makers and pass
ers cannot be prosecuted under the
United States laws, but it is said they
can be punished for fraud under the
state laws.
