Life insurance is different, however.
In policies of that nature it is ex-
plicitly stated that the payment of the
first premium must be made while the
insured was in good health. That is to
say if YOU went and were examined for
life insurance today and passed per-
feet examination. but, changing your
mind on the subject, neglected to pay
the first premium, allowing it to run for
a period of six months, became ill and
then sent the amount of the premium.
the company would not be holden to
pay the amount of the insurance, as
you were not in good health when you
paid the first premium.
A notable illustration of this was in
the case of man who took an eX-
animation, passed and the policy was
forwarded to him. In the time which
had elapsed he had about concluded not
to take the policy and allowed the mat
ter to wait. In the course of time he
decided to accept the policy. He drew
a check for the amount of the pre-
MUM and as in the act of signing the
check dropped dead.

GLAD ALtxiErf is OUT.
Russians Believe He Will Return.
Now Kur0pafkin Is In Power.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 29.--Viceroy
Alexieff's order of the day announcing
kuropakin's appoint ment is in the
same grandiose vein as Kuropatkin's
order Of October 5, and is regarded a.
having definitely established the auth
orship of that ill-starred document.
While Alexieff takes particular
pains, in turning over the supreme
command of the land forces to Kuro-
patkin, to inform the soldiers and the
world OF the marks of imperial conf
dence reposed in him, and to announc.
that he Will remain as viceroy, the or
der Is considered as virtually his fare
well address, and that it will soon be
followed by his return to st. Peters

sigh of relief.
The papers all welcome the an.
nouncement of Kuropatkin's appoint
ment to the chief command as a we'll
merited recompense for the manner in
which he discharged the difficult role
imposed upon him, and, reading no
tween the lines, as promise of better
results now that Alexieff is eliminated
and there is no longer a prospect Of
elevation of grand duke to the sn.

STRIPS FOR WAR.
Great Britain Is Rapidly Making Her
Ships Ready.

London, Oct. 29- Notwithstanding
the diplomatic check in consequence OF
Admiral Rojestvensky's report, it IL
evident that Great Britain ia preparing
for the possibility of war. Tremendous
activity is reported from all dockyard-,
where vesre under repair are being
made ready for eea under urgent orders
from the admiralty.
While no zine limit for the receipt
of Ru-sia's reply has been fixed, it il
generally understood today that the
route OF the Russian squadron past
Gibraltar will be barred by the chan
mel squadron, commanded by Vice Ad
mirai Lord Charles Beresford.
Perhaps the most significant devel.
opment is the cabinet meeting winch is
called for today. While the call was
issued prior to the receipt OF Rojestven-
sky's report, which changed the situa
ton considerably and apears to place
some of he burden of proof upon Greai
Britain, the meeting undoubtedly marks
the reaching OF a seri.us stage.
The ships of the British channel fleet
cleared their decks this afternoon. Ii
ls rumored that the whole fleet, with
the exception of the battleship Caesar.
Will steam westward tomorrow with
the alleged purpose of making a sham
attack against tie Rock OF Gibraltar.
