DECREASE IN DIVIDENDS.

DECREASE IN DIVIDENDS

New Ncsk. Oct. Co. Emory McClin-
took, actuary of the Mutual, occupied
several hours before the legislative in
vestigating committee yesterday in ex-
pounding from the witness stand the
intricacies Of the life insurance BUSH
ness.
Incidentally, in seeking to explain the
relation between expenses and dividend
decrease, he declared that a leading
cause of this decrease was the Increased
cost of living" in recent years, and the
higher salaries paid to employees. He
referred to the progressive iberality"
of the companies.
He told of his vain efforts to secure
q legal limitation of insurance risks,
and gave the committee TO understand
that he could offer other suggestions for
improving the business Of life insurance.
He defended the deferred dividend pol
ley, with the forfeiture clause eliminat-
ed. He answered the Fricll report crit
icism--which held that under this sys-
tenn the policy holder could not exact
accountability as to the amount of diyi-
dend when a policy matured-by de-
claring that all trouble could be obviat-
ed by having company announce regu-
/ larly the total amount Of premiums
received on such policies which had not
received the dividend. Such a plan,
moreover, he held, would show all uneasy
policy holders whether there was on
hand sufficient reserve to meet every
claim
Mr.. McClintock condemned the use Of
the word surplus as misleading mas
much as it suggested money ready for
immediate distribution, and invited un-
reasonable demands by policy holders;
whereas it was really reserve and not
liable for immediate distribution.
He also condemned the term deferred
dividend" inasmuch as it was appor-
| tionment, not dividend, that was de.
ferred. He contended that the dividend
was not liability. The total of Afu-
| tuai policies, up to the close of 1904,
on which no dividends had been paid,
was shown to be about 1922 100000,
and the calculated dividend distribution
[ for 1905 about 50 100000
Before the session opened it was re-
ported that the committee would prob
ably adjourn until after election, al
though short session might be held
this morning.

TILLMAN,s STAR RISES.
But His Dispensary Law Is Said to Be
Less Popular.


Washington, d. c., Oct. 20 Senator
b. r. Tillman wakes in popularity with
the South Carolinians, but the dispen-
sary law be advocates totters. This is
the word his colleague, Senator Lati-
mer Of good roads fame, brought to the
city yesterday. Latimer has been work
ing on good roads bill to be intro
duced again in Congress this winter
T'illman has been going up and down
the Palmetto state defending the dis
pensary law.
s8fr. Tillman is stronger than eveI
in popular regard" asserted Mr.. Lati
mer, lin spite of the growing indigna-
ton against the dispensary and all its
evils. In many places Of late the people
have voted to abolish the dispensarv
thus Riding themselves, they assert
of much political robbery. Mr. Tillmar
Is still enthusiastic in favor Of the dis
pensary as means of curbing the liquor
traffic, although lie acknowledges that
the law has not always been wisely adj
ministered. Ordinarily man goes down
politically when death blow is dealt
an institution on which he made his
reputation. Not so with Tillman. He
will outlive the dispensary law.

BOY DROPS Ii STORIES.
Plunges Down Elevator Shaft in the
Night.

Chicago, Oct. &c. Plunging down II
stories in yentilating shaft in the
First National Bank building Tuesday,
Bruno A. Bahr, a fifteen yearold mes
senger boy, met d tragic death. The fall
was from the fifteenth floor 81 the
building.
Through curiosity or mistake the boy
opened door leading from layatory
to the elevator shaft. He took step
in the darkness, and then, realizing his
peril, grasped frantically upward and
caught the key in the lock of the door.
To this he chung desperately and de-
ferred for brief instant the fatal
plunge.
Soon losing his hold lie whirled down
ward through the eleven black stories
of the shaft.
In the course Of his fall the boys
body struck water pipe at the thir-
tenth floor, breaking the connection
and allowing the water to flood the
shaft. This breakage started an inves-
tigation, and resulted in the discovery
of the body.

were sent out as warehouses on both

No one knew how the fire started
but a night Waterman told Of driving
two young men from the building only
about Is minutes before the blaze was
discovered. This led the police to the
belief that an incendiary was at work.
The first explosion occurred when the
spectators, breaking through the police

blown in all directions and every mem.
