The strike situation at La Junta re.

LIFE INSURANCE STATISTICS.

An authority on life insurance mat
tors has been gathering some striking
statistics on the sdbject of insurance
policies and payments. In 9,333 cities
and towns in the United States durinr
the year 1902 the total distribution to
policy holders and their beneficiaries
exceeded $4,000 900. In the distribu.
ton OF this gum among the larger
cities New York holds first place, S22..
945,475 OF the total sum having been
distributed there In 1902. PHILADELPHIA
follows the metropolis with record
OF receipts aggregating $s.926, ,O9S.
Chicago holds third place with rec.
ord of s6.922,457. In each case these
figures show an advance over those OF
the preceding year, which fact has led
our authority into making some inter-
esting prophecies. At the rate of dis.
tribution recorded for the past year.
II Is estimated that the life insurance
companies OF New York (excluslve of
Brooklyn) are pledged to pay some
thing like 100000 900 to the cities Of
Manhattan within the next twenty
years; while Philadelphia will receive
$3.50 100000, Chicago $f4O, 900. 900,
Brooklyn s140.000,O0O and Boston
$3.50 100000 AS more than ten thou
sand million dollars in policies are car
ried in this country at the present
time. the rate OF increase suggests as
founding possibilities for the future
