Growing Tendency to Protect Es-
tates by This Character of In
vestment.
NEW YORK, October 1.-The tend
ency OF business men to protect their
estates by policies OF life insurance is
becoming as general as to protect their
buildings by policies of Are insurance.
Since MIR. George Y. Vanderbilt, OF
New York. and Mr. Frank II. Peavey,
of Minneapolis, each took policies for
81 600 600 tone million dollars), few
years since in the Mutual Life lnsur-
ance Company. of New York, there
has been an equally large sum writ
ten on one individual. These remain
the record figures for the world. But
policies OF $4,000 and 100000, and
even 5000, 600 are so frequent as to
cause little comment, and even when
Mr.. Sidney A. WitheTbee. of Detroit.
took 100000 in five per cent gold bond
insurance from the Mutual Life early
in this year. it passed almost as a
matter OF course 1t Is significant that
when a business mans estate Is settled
these days life insurance IS generally
found to be very important part OF
1t. often all there Is of it. Life insur-
ance in one Of the great companies
Yields a good rate of interest as an in
vestment apart from the protection II
affords.

The orinoco Expedition.

C. c. Fitzgerald. an American en-
gineer, at the time superintendent Of
the FL Callao gold mine, secured from
the government of Venezuela grant
of land covering an area almost as
large as the State of Indiana. This
passed into the hands Of company
composed principally Of Minnesotans.
and it was to explore the resources OF
this enormous area that the party OF
which Mr.. Thompson was member,
was sent to the Orinoco country. Put
a newspaper man, trained to habits OF
close observation, for nearly a year
into a region where climate, vegetation,
animals. people, language, customs and
ideals are all radically different from
anything he has ever known, and he
will see and hear thousand things OF
interest. Supplement this with an ex-
perience in public speaking which puts
him at perfect ease before an audience,
and 1t becomes certain that he can tell
others of what he has seen and heard.
Now, add to all the rest, hundred or
more pictures which reproduce the
beauties of the tropics in color as well
as form, and it will be evident that a

names known not only among their
immediate neighbors, but throughout
the country.
No other prepared remedy was ever
recommended publicly or privately by
the head of the medical department Of
a great university. No other remedy
ever had the hearty. bona fide endorse
ment of the wives and households of
the wealthiest as we'll as the poorer
citizens in every community.
A single bottle. to be had of any re-
putable druggist, will prove its I'M

day some member suffers from the

the final breakdown.

The above is a bluff. and is probably
intended to work injury to 4 prospec-
tive glass company that will be almost
local.
Casual reading Of the telegram
would lead Cne to believe that a great
glass war was about to be inaugu at

some very cheap glass would be in the
market about January /.
A casual reader might also suppose
that with glass figh, in prospect at
an early day, IL would not be a good
tine to become interested in a new
glass company, and especially not a
good time TO put mo-ty into glass
stock. and more particularly the stock
o. concern that is still to be brought
into existence.

gram, however, reveals features that
