The Future Of Insurance.

In Germany there is a system Of
compulsory insurance for working peO
Die. Of which one-thiFd is paid BY the
employer. one-thiTd by the workman
aud one-third by the state. II one
hires a servant he is obliged to put
each month stamps in his or her book
10 the required amount, and this is In
speeted 20 SEQ that il is done. This
provides a pension against sickness
ana old age A similar system, or even
M re- extensive, has been adopted In
New Zealand II is a kind Of eOmpul-
sory insurance applied 70 certain
classes We are not yet ready 70 adopt
il FOR we let older countries, where
conditions are more stressful-and
New Zealand-try a great many ex-
periments for us. We do not even yet
have postal banks, or parcel post, or
municipal trolleys OF government rail
roads much less old age pensions. We
apply the system only 10 our army
and navy, not even 70 our civil serv-
lee. But it is likely to come one OF
these DAYS, and We may very likely see
a system OF pensions developed beyond
that for the working classes which win
renlaee insurance and make the pres
ent system unnecessary. 1t may per
hans connect itself with a system Of
income tax BY which 'he amount 10 be
received win depend on the amount OF
income tax paio, but with an upper
limit Of perhaps $500. Thus as i
proper in taxation, the wealthieF wiz
nav more and the poorer less than
their proportion, while il will be the
,oorer that receive the principal ad-
vantage. The system wiz be applied !

The quarterly report of the Birmingham
postoffice, on which Assistant Postmaster
J. T. Blakemore has been at work for sew
eral weeks, has been completed and viii
be forwarded to the department headquar-
tiers at Washington.
The figures OF the report show that the
past three months have been buster for
the department than any summer months
for several years. and almost equal to the
records for winter months. 1t has been
necessary during the last quarter to put
on five new clerks in the office, and
number of rural carriers. The department
here has asked for eight new carriers for
the city and North Birmingham and East
Lake included. Possibly five of the men
will carry routes within the city limits.
for these positions. and 1t Is very prob
able that the new men will be working
by September l.
The report of the postmaster shows that
$685. 929 IS was expended for the rural free
delivery service In the months OF April,
May and June. This includes the salaries
paid to the rural carriers and other ex-
penses incurred in that service.
For the local office force, expenses for
the office and the railway mail service
the report shows that s26, so was ex-
pended This makes the grand total of ex-
penses for this department for the last
three months sl1s,6s1 .s5

from the sale of stamps for January, FEB

income of the office is assigned to news

SON OF MINISTER DIES
IN AGONY FROM LOCKJAW

Robert Latimer. the 10-year-old son of
the Rev. and Mrs. r. M. Latimer, died
yesterday morning at o'clock at their
residence in East Lake from lockjaw. The
little boy suffered great tortures for the
twenty-four hours just previous to his
death and died in agony.
Lockjaw was the result of blood poison
ing which set In from bullet wound in
the boys leg. About week ago the lit
tie fellow was playing with toy pistol
and accidently shot himself in the right
leg just above the knee.
The wound was not considered serious
at the time of the accident and the little
fellow played around Just as usual. The
wound gave him no trouble until Thurs
day morning, when the first symptoms

NEGROES ARRESTED
AND BROUGHT HERE
TWO PRISONERS IN COUNTY JAIL
SUSPECTED OF BEING JACK
HUNTER. WHO is WANTED IN
GADSDEN.

Two negroes were brought to the coun-
ty Jail yesterday as suspects of being
Jack Hunter, the negro wanted for the
murder and assault on Mrs. S. ]. Smith,
at Gadsden. several days ago.
The first was brought in from Weems.
but as soon as he saw the county jail
officials he was released a'he only point
in which the man resembled Hunter was
in large scar on his jaw several inches
above the one on Hunter He was in the
county jail not long ago and is we'll known
to the warden and jailer. He easily prov
ed an alibi
The other man was brought in late
yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Jere Fountain of Bessemer In company
with the man who caught the negro,
Mr.. Russell of Kindred. 1t is not be-
lieved by the officers that he is the
man wanted, but nevertheless, no chances
are being taken. Sheriff Burgin immed-
lately telegraphed to Gadsden to send
a man here at once who could identify
the man If he is the one wanted.
The negro, who gave his name as Ca
leb Brown. was taken before Vance Gar
ner, the negro being held in the county
jail for being implicated in the crime,
but Garner said positively that he was
not the man, pointing out the difference
in personal appearance. The man is said
to be the same one that ran when called
to by a conductor on the Alabama Great
Southern at Green Pond several days
ago. 1t is thought by this that he is
possibly>wanted for some other crime.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Stradford
has received information that Jack Hunt
er. the negro wanted for numbering Mrs.
Smith In Gadsden, was born In Lafollette.
Campbell county, Tennessee, and had
only been In Gadsden for about ten days
prior to the crime.
