"BuNKo MANS" LONG CAREER.
Death of Tom O'Erien Recalls Stories
of His Success.

lIews of the death of tom"
OBrien, the notorious confidence man
and originator of the gold brick, in a
French penal sci Element at Cayenne,
recalls the story of attempts made
five or six years ago by his Chicago
and New York friends to rescue him.
Annie Gray, O'Brien's New York
sweetheart, who had been devoted to
him all through his trial for murder
and Imprisonment, was author OF the
plot.
A syndicate, said to have been COM
posed of eight confidence men in the
two cities, raised the money and char
tered swift steam yacht, which lay
for days off the island of Cayenne
waiting for a chance to pick up the
convict.
O'Brien had been furnished money
to bride the guards, and every precau-
ton had been taken to insure his
escape, but the authorities learned OF
the plan and redoubled their vigilance.
When the steam yacht appeared off
the coast of the penal settlement it
was watched by warship. At last
the plan was abandoned.
When OBren was sentenced to
Cayenne for life for the murder of
kid Waddell. fellow confidence
man, in a Paris hotel, he closed a ca
reer of crime that for years had baf-
fled the efforts of the best detectives
on two continents.
He organized the confidence bust
ness thirty years ago and reduced 1t
to such a system that he became
known over the world as the king OF
bunko men," O'Brien not only
worked confidence games himself but
directed dozens of other crooks in
nearly all the large cities. He dressed
like a prosperous business man and
wore long whiskers. He was in close
touch with politicians in every city
where he operated.
But O'Brien's political pull finally
failed him. He sold gold brick to
an Albany real estate man for $4,000
and was arrested. He got a man to
20 on his bond for $4,000 and sailed

The Mountain FiIipinos.

Secretary Taft made public recently
a mail report received from Governor
Wright in regard to the condition or
affairs in Samar and other islands OF
the Philippine group. 1t is in part as
follows:
The great bulk of the civilized Fill
pinos live on or not remote from the
coast line, but there are scattered
communities living in the mountains,
who are little removed from savagery.
1t frequently happens that some enter
prising man among them will obtain a
considerable following and will perpe-
trate all sorts of outrages upon peace
full and inoffensive inhabitants. This
cannot be changed at once. 1t there
fore may be inferred that for several
years to come there will be eruptions
from this source and that they will
make raids upon the civilized Filipinos
living in the lowlands as heretofore.
The commission, so far as its finances
permit, is engaged in building roads
to open up these remote sections of
the interior and to make them Access
sible.''

LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS VAST
Assets of Companies In New York
State Equal to $2,226,423,2o2.

If the assets of all the life insurance
companies engaged in business in the
United States were distributed equally
to all the population of the world, each
man, woman and child Of every conti-
nent and every country, from Africa
to Labrador would receive 81 each,
says writer in the Era Magazine.
There would be 50 for every human
being on the globe.
The assets of the life insurance COM
panes of this country-that is, the ac-
tual property, real estate, bonds,
stocks, ETC., which they own-amount
in the aggregate to more than w.
900, 100000. The companies doing
business in New York state, and these
include also practically all of the COM
panies with headquarters in other
states-had at the close of 1903, as
sets, in exact figures, equal in value
to $2,22G, 423,202. Such is the magni-
tude of the institution of life insur-
ance. If all the adult men in Amerl-
ca, of every race and occupation,
should contribute simultaneously 500
each toward a fund, that enormous
sum would not equal the value OF the
property owned by the American life
insurance companies.
More than 100000 of the money
paid to the companies every year by
policy holders goes to defray the .eX-
pense of maintaining a spy system.
After all the preliminary precautions
have been taken the medical examin-
alton made, the references looked up
after the policy has been granted,
detectives are employed to watch pol
icy holders. Your money is paid to
employ men to follow you through
your daily walk, to track you into res
taurants, to interview your servants,
to use all the other low and contempti-
BILE means which these creeping sha-
bowers employ. The spy system OF

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It is unusual that single institution in
city of 5000 people will Overshadow In i'm
portance every other interest, but such Is
the case with the American School OF
Osteopathy and A L. Still Intirmary at
Kirk5ville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksvile is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kirksville has been made what it is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary 1t is the largest patronlzed I'M
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DR.. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory OF the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs ana
osteopathv is substituted for that. SO
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
At the Intirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lief by the science of Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
| benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as safe and
rational method of cure Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department Of the schoo!
and this is still in operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay Tor
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free OF charge.
