gives to his prize fowls. Each female lays
several hundred eggs. The feeding caterpillars

The Attempt That Always Fails.

a Chicago woman, well known to
the resorts undertook to swear an in
FAINT on Gov Herrick of Ohio, but the
governor stood pat and ordered her
prosecuted for attempted blackmail.
The detectives found even that the
baby is a borrowed one. There are no
doubt scores of cases where men of
high repute permit themselves to be
blackmailed in order 10 avoid publ
city, but the best thing in the long run
and the only sane thing TO do is to re-
fuse to yield TO the scrOundel who will
assail personal character whether IL
be for the purpose OF blackmail or the
qualification of spleen and viciousness.
The private lives of some public men
might not bear microscopic eXamina-
ton. but the history of many elections
shows that attacks made on the private
lives of prominent candidates gener-
ally act as boOmerangs.
People regard it as very disreputable
politics, and when the woman at Co
lumbus offered her story to the demo
cratic leaders in Ohio after being turn
ed own by Herrick. she was promptly
shown the door.

Life Insurance Rates.

"Assemblyman Merritt, a member of
the committee Investigating the New
York Life insurance companies, sug-
gests that there may he something the
matter with the actuary table of the
companies" says the New York Jour
nal of Commerce. There is no ques-
ton that the improvements i'll sanitary
and medical science and practice i'll
the last so years have heightened the
span of life aud increased its
chance" and though the tables of the
actuaries may have been correct
enough when they are made, they need
to be brought up to date" It is eyi,
dent the big companies now being In
vestigated have been getting too much
income from the premiums of policy
holders. This indicates that the pre-
mimums are figured too high for the
actual risk
This excess of income has doubtless
been a fruitful source of the abuses
To be inquired into. 1t may account
for eXtravagant increases i'll salaries.
in commissions and allowances to
agents and in other expenses. 1t &C
counts for accumulatiOns of surplus
funds that tempt dubious investments
and give opportunity for taking risks
with the assurance that reserves will
not be impaired. Under strict and
conscientious management, il the cal
culations from the tables resulted in
continuous excess OF income over legi
innate requirements, there would be a
reduction of premiums or credit OF
dividends from the surplus; NJ with

an accumulation in excess of a fair re

sure 10 be lax management, eXtrava
gance and the insidiOus growth OF
abuses
The basis of the present actuary ia
bles should certainly be inquired into
and if the chance of life" is calculated
upon out of date conditions they should
be corrected. Life insurance is without
doubt costing too much and yielding
too little TO the legitimate beneticiaries
while too much is made out of it by a
lot OF officers. agents and other inter
medaries.

SMOKED" ENGINEER
CAUSED ALARM OF FIRE

Quite Il little excitement was caused
about SIS o'clock this morning on New
York avenue. near Fifteenth street
northwest. by cries of fire. Shortly af-
terward the changing OF gongs as the
fire engines responded to an alarm turn
ed in from box li5 added 10 the tur-
MOL.
BY the time the engines arrived what
had been a thin wisp of smoke at
first was q dense black cloud. Seeing
the smoke and the engines a large
crowd collected.
When the firemen entered the building
which proved 20 be FuSSeiTs ice cream
factory, they found no signs of n fire.
but descending into the basement found
a perspiring engineer working like mad
trying to get his furnace fire to work
He was almost checked by the dense
smoke that issued from the furnace
doors and other crevices. and at first did
not notice the advent of the firemen.
The engineer was soon apprised of
their arrival by several expressions
which were sent his way, and which
in no way tended 10 fiatter his ability
as a fireman. The uDShot Of the affair
was that the engines went back to their
quarters, and the crowd of gaZers hur-
ried away for their Offices inventing
clever excuses for being late, on the
way.

Caddies as Relay Runners.

Conservative even in his extrava-
gances. except where a Chicago profess
scr may some day discover the purling
fountain of youth at a billion a purl,
Rockefeller has made relay runners OF
his former caddies. Each in turn takes
his place behind the mighty bicycle
rider and trots along with careful hand
on the mud guard, lest the noble brow
of the Oil King make an imprint along
the training route.
AS one caddy falls breathless from
pushing the machine and telling John
u. how bully he is doing another takes
up the task like marathon racers, and
thus they jolly the old man TO the golf
links.
Once arrived there. with missing reti-
nue. strewn along the road houses for re-
viving refreshment, nothing will do ex-
cept that Rockefeller must ride the links
on bicycle between position and location
of ball. The relay force tried to be good
to him for a time, but got tired of push
ing the old man up the hills and holding
him back going down, and apologfzing
far the rough sod, so the caddy-relay
runners and pushers got up a scheme
which has worked beautifully.
1t is simple. consisting of placing
golf balls at intervals throughout the
links along the smoothest jaunts over
the sod. SO when John d. shuts both
eyes and gives migty swing the cad
dy-runner boosts him on the heel and
trots away with him along the way of
least resistance TO the nearest hidden
golf ball
