MAKES OLD STAGERS LAUGH.

Editor Mooney, of the Meyers
Greek News, announces the ar
rival of his first born. Ten
years from now, when some of
the rolled plate of married life
has worn off, and his family at
fairs have multiplied some, he
will not be so confident, or ro-
mantle, either. Nothing like
married life to take the roman
tic streak out of a man. But, it
is not our purpose to discourage
Brother Mooney. Here is what
he says:
"The editor of the News de-
sires to softly make the an
pouncement that he has been
presented with new patron
who will be actively engaged for
10 or 20 years in strewing the
pathway of the editor with the
loveliest of roses. The new
partner is diminutive, but she
will grow. She was introduced
to us Monday night at Ills.
Mother, daughter and all other
relatives are recovering rapidly. "

A MaLODOROUS GANG.

The investigation of the three
great insurance companies of
New York City, the Equitable,
the New York Life and the Mu-
tual has revealed such condi-
ton of rottenness, peculation
and frenzied financiering with
trust funds as to astonish, not
only the people of this country,
but it is no exaggeration to say,
the civilized world. And no won
der, as the business of these great
com panies extends to almost
every civilized nation.
Investments in insurance are
usually prompted by solicitude
for the family. 1t is safe to say
that nine men out of every ten
who take out insurance do so for
the benefit of their wives and
children. 1t is the money that
belongs to women and children
all over this and other lands that
these insurance pirates have dis
tributed among their relatives,
contributed topolitical campaign
funds, and used to corrupt legis-
latures and enrich themselves
with salaries out of proportion
to their services and in side
speculations.
When they speculated with the
funds of the company and there
was q loss, it was charged to the
company, when there was gain
they put it in their own pockets.
Besides these insurance ras-
Gals a highway robher is a gent
leman. The highwayman who
robs a tram puts his life up as a
steak against the loot he hopes
DO get and never has been known
to levy tribute on women and
children. The coldblooded, con-
scienceless insurance CRATER de-
liberately takes funds that he
knows were entrusted to his
keeping for the benefit of future
widows and orphans and reok-
lessly sqnanders the most sacred
fsnd known to organized society,
