IMMENSE PROFITS
Made BY Insurance Companies
In Kentucky.

State Auditor Coulter has beer

briefs of the states attorneys il
the suit to compel the foreign life
insurance companies to pay a fran
chise tax.
According to the sworn state.
ments Of the insurance companies
on file at Frankfort they have col.
lscted in premiums in the last ten
years in Kentucky, over twenty
million dollars more than their
total net disbursements, including
commissions, death losses and all
in the state. They have paid no
tax for the privilege of doing bus
mess in the state.
During the ten years the II g
insurance companies were garner
ing this twenty million profits
from Kentucky, the Fidelity Safe
ty Vault and Trust company, of
Louisville, a domestic rival of the
insurance companies, in financial
deals and large loans, paid in taxes
to the state alone $4,000, and a
much larger sum to the city of
Louisville, while the Columbia
Trust company paid to the state
$4,000. In other words, the brief
will show that home companies
are compelled to pay a big city,
county and state tax to do bust

siness without paying a cent.

BOSTON HOLDS WIDOW RECORD

Their Lot a Hard One.

A Boston state official who has been
investigating the subject for Prof Fried
rich Printing, of Paris, has discovered
that Boston has more widows in pro-
portion to its population, than any 9TH
er city in America, even Chicago, Phil
adelphia, New York, and other large
centers. The young widow, he says, is
one of the most unfortunate of beings,
and not at all the gay butterfly which
popular fancy has pictured.
Prof. Printing has collected re-
mark able group of statistics which show
that poverty sorely Expresses the widow,
and that she is more subject to insanity,
consumption. conflict with the law, and
death than her married sister All these
woes fall more heavily on the young
widow. DR.. PriZings opinion is that
the state should make provision for the
support of the widowed and their chill
dren, directly, instead of indirectly
through hospitals and insane asylums.
There are 100000 widows in every
55,000,000 Of population, of whom 40O,.
600 have absolutely no income.

There was a large gathering of the
representative young business men of
Middlebury at the store of L. S. Knight
q Co., Tuesday evening to consider the
advisability of starting a social club
After an informal talk it was decided to
make temporary organization and
appoint committees to see if suitable
rooms could be had and ascertain the
cost of fitting them up and running the
club, and to solicit names for member
ship. l.. P. Thayer was elected chair
man and Leroy c.. Russell, secretary.
The following were named as the com
mittee on rooms and expenses, w. H.
Davis. Joseph Calhoun, and A. J. Black
mer; soliciting committee, L. S. Knight,
G. G.. Wells and Fred Beckwith. The
sentiment of those present, and many
that had been approached on the subject
was enthusiastically in favor of such an
organization. The next meeting will be
held at the office of w. H. Davis next
Tuesday evening at Z: 80 when the COM
mittees will report and some definite
action will be taken. There is no doubt
but that Middlebury and vicinity could
sustain first class club if started on the
right lines and conducted on business
principles. Such an organization could
be of great benefit to the town and
assist materially in its growth and de-
velopment.

trouble was that he was a rusher,
uncomfortable in scoring, and would trot
over himself in the first quarter. 1t
