The Cost Of Getting LIE Insurance.

One of the greatest evils of management
in this country is the craze for bigness,
the insane rivalry among managers of the
largest companies to Guido all competi
tors in the increase of the amount of in
surance in force. To such an extent has
this craze been carried that millions upon
millions have been virtually thrown away.
Agents are stimulated by large commits
sions and other rewards to go out and
drum up business regardless of whether
1t is to prove profitable to the company
or to the insurants, or not. The rule has
been, Get the business at any cost" 1t
is n remarkable fact that for every thou
sand dollars of insurance in force last
year these twenty-five leading companies
spent nearly six dollars and fifty cents in
their efforts to get more insurance. The
average premium paid on all insurance
is approximately forty dollars per thou
sand.' Ten dollars of that is paid out for
expenses, and of the ten dollars more
than six is devoted to the effort to coax
in new policy-holders. II the commission
and agency expenses were cut down to a
reasonable figure, and then a vigorous
effort were made to reduce the admins
trative and clerical expense from its
present relatively high level there is no
reason why American management should
not make a much better showing as to the
ratio of expenses to total income when
compared to foreign companies They
might not be able to get down to the
British standard of about 8 per cent. but
they should be able to drop far below
their present figure of is per cent. Our
American managers. or most of Them are
not content to grow slowly, to follow a
conservative policy like that pursued by
the old Equitable of London, and other
conservative English companies. The
London Equitable never spends any money
for new business. Men who want policies
must apply for them, and their applica-
lions are passed upon with a view to the
desirability of the contract and to the
ability of the applicant to carry out his
part of it, OF course, the Equitable has
grown slowly, but it has grown solidly;
and it's income is not squandered in a
mad scramble for more polcy-holders.

The Senior Year in the High School.

The Senior Year In the High School.
Northampton Letter in the Springfield
Sunday Republican,
There is not little public opinion that
It would be well for the school committee
to stand by it's original purpose in rela-
ton to entertainments by school children.
Educational endeavor even in school hours
is in the opinion of many people, divided
and diversed well toward the point of in
effectualness, and they see in the pretty
constant succession of school dances, re-
ceptions, concerts and entertainments,
football, base ball and basket ball games,
a still further department from concen-
tration and efficiency in school work. In
respect to high school senior dramatics,
on behalf of which the school committee
is asked to abate its opposition to school
entertainments for money-raisng pur-
poses it would be desirable that some
thing more worthy of serious attention
in itself and of the inattention to school
work which is inevitable than Poor
Pillicady," If that was it's exact title,
which was offered last year. be under
taken. But the whole plan is not likely
to be regarded with very general favor,
inasmuch as it has the appearance of be-
ing simply one more form of aping the
colleges. And the chief ground on which
the committee is asked to make an eX-
ception in this case-that of giving the
senior class an opportunity to earn money
for it's graduation expenses-is not likely
to appeal very strongly to the parents.
They might have no special objection to
having the demands upon themselves for
this purpose lessened, but the need of the
money is further evidence of the increas-
ing cost both of graduation and the
numerous incidentals of the high school
course Instead of an attempt on the part
of the pupils to raise funds, they would
much rather see evidence of a spirit OF
economy and corresponding decrease in
the demand of funds. Not all parents OF
high school pupils are in circumstances
which enable them to furnish cheerfully
the cost of class pins, class suppers and
class dances, and even when the dances
are given by individual pupils they are
regarded as accessory to the school life
and there are the same demands for
gowns for the girls, or money where
with the boys may provide roses and pay
hack hire. There have been instances in
which parents who were well able to pay
the cost of these things have not con-
sidered 1t wise to do so.

MINING FOR A METEOR.

Remarkable Work Being Done Near Hol.
brook, Arlz.-Fragments Rich In silver,
Gold and Lead.
A remarkable mining project is being
carried out near Diaboo canyon, in
Arizona, by the Standard Iron company Of
New York. The object of the company is
to unearth and smelt a gigantic meteor
which lies buried there. This meteor
probably struck the earth many ages ago
The Indians who inhabit that region have
no legend of the wonderful event. The
location of the meteor is marked by hole
in the earth three-fourths Of a mile long
and six hundred feet deep. The surround
ing country for radius Of several miles
is covered by the fragments of this
heavenly visitor They have furnished
much interesting material for investiga-
tions for mineralogists. Some of the
fragments weighed many tons and
brought rich returns of silver, gold and
lead when shipped to the smelter. All of
the fragments that have been analysed
run high in lead, silver and gold. This
remarkable mineral property was acquired
more than year ago by the Standard
Iron company which began the work to
locate the meteor by means of a shaft
which it is sinking from the bottom of
the great hole. This shaft has reached
a depth of more than four hundred feet, or
more than one thousand feet from the
original earth's surface. The size of the
meteor has been carefully calculated by
| scientific experts, who take as a basis the
| size Of the hole which it made in the
| earth. 1t is estimated that the gold, sill
yer and lead which the meteor contains
will amount to $13, 900, 0OO 1t is believed
that the shaft will strike the meteor at
about ~ 900 feet
In former days many mining prospec-
tors gained a good livelihood by collecting
and shipping the fragments of the meteor
| to the smelter. These fragments had a
market value of 81 per pound in Holbrook.
| The Indians brought in large quantities
of the mineral in the days before a rail-
road had been built into this region and
| burros.

SEASONS MOST EXCITING GAME.

erattleboro Athletics Defeated Father
Matthews Team Of Turner's Falls Last
Evening,
Enthusiasm was keyed up to a high
pitch at the basket ball game last night
between the Bratteboro Athletics and the
Father Matthews of Turner's Falls. The
local men won 30 to 20 in the most ex-
citing game that has been played in Brat
tleboro this season. Four members of
what has been heretofore the local pro-
fes 3ional team were on the floor, Long
and Davey playing with the Athletics and
Henry and Charles Martens lining up with
the Father Matthews. The Farther
Matthews led off with three goals, but the
Athletics soon overlook them, and the
half ended II to II in favor of Brattleboro.
This lead was increased in the next
period. Trendal was disposed to be
scrappy, and several times a personal
encounter was STAYED off by a narrow
margin. In the second half the pot boiled
over and Trendall and Charles Martens
grappled. The other players and several
spectators mixed in, but fistcuffs were
prevented largely through the efforts of
Policeman VIII Warren. The incident
was a natural result of the high tension
at which the game was being played
Brattleboros team work was gilt edge
for which much credit is due Long and
Davey. Stafford put up his usual strong
game and Ellis played all around Cadron.
The Martens brothers were honor men
for the visitors. both in passing and
shooting. The summary:

FAIR ASSOCIATION
AT DURANGO ROBBED

The Durango Fair association was
robbed of 5000 late Sunday afternoon
at the fair grounds. This represented
the gate receipts for the day. The
ticket seller had given the money to
Glenn Russell, secretary OF the asso-
citation, and Russell stepped out Of the
ticket office for a few moments, lock-
ing the door after him. When he re-
turned the box had been broken open
and the money gone
The thieves secured entrance by re-
moving some boards on the south side
Of the ticket office, entering from an
old car barn. No one noticed any
suspicious characters leaving and the
authorities are at sea as to who the
robbers are.

the local papers Saturday, against

viewed by them and their cOngrega-

Sabbath. The fair association was
forced to hold the fair Sunday on ac-
count of losing one day because Of

The loss did not include the grand
stand receipts, as they had not been
given 10 the secretary at the time OF

SOMETHING NEW IN
MATTER OF RAILROADING

The railroad damage suit industry
in Texas, says a recent telegram, has
taken a new turn. Tired of being
made to pay out millions of dollars to
employees Oh claims, many of which
are believed to Re fictitious. some of
the railroads have adopted the policy
of suing their employees when acct
dents occur through negligence.
The International & Great North
ern Railroad COMPANY, a Gould prop
erty. has fled suit in the district our
of San Antonio against Frank Brice,
formerly one of its locomotive engin-
GERS, for $40 900 damages.
The petition charges that Brice was
resp nsible for the wreck which oc-
CURED at Kyle, Texas, last March, in
which much railroad property was
wrecked and several passengers in
jured. Brice obtained a judgment for
$4,000 damages against the railroad
company for injuries.

CHECKS ARE DRIVING
OUT USE OF PAY CARS

The boyle of railroad men, The pay
car. continues i'm use on only one or
two of the larger railroads of the
country and on just a few of the
smaller ones. With the introduction
OF the new system of accounts and
simpler methods of t~ransacting rou-
tine business, it is passing into the
~obscurity which other implements and
devices, expedient at former periods
have entered. The pay a has served
its usefulness and is now generally
abandoned.
Ii was never a satisfactory means
of distributing s~alries. It was merely
a ready utility. As soon as a better
method of sending out money 10 EN-
ployes on all parts Of a road was
found, the pay a began to immedi,
ately disappear.
The present pay system of issuing
checks is preferred by the employees
as well as by the officials. The checKs
are issued by the treasurer, and they
are mailed from his Office on the same
day for the employees at every Office
and station. The checks when re,

WOMAN STOPS RAILROAD
WORK ON CENTRAL STATION.

Because of a change in the plans by
the engineers of the New York Cen
trail railroad, the actual work of re-
building the Grand Central station
will not be started for at least two
years.
While it was stated authoritatively
today that the work of rebuilding the
entire terminal would be continued
with as great rapidly as possible, it
may be five or six years before the
plans are entirely carried out.
The persistent refusal of Mrs. Lehon
to give up her home in the middle of
the site, which will be used as a tenn
porary terminal, delays the work.
While her house remains the railroad
company cannot close 45th street, and
its approach to the Gand Central Pal
ace is thereby cut off. Mrs. Lehon
has successfully combatted all at
tempts to have a commission APP
pointed to condemn her home.

NEW EFFORT TO DEFEAT
SCALPERS OF TICKETS.

Officials of the Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Re, in the relentless war that
they are waging on the ticket scalpers,
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
using a new kind of envelope in which
to place tickets and which will pre-
vent their sale to scalpeIs.
The proposed envelope is of pc
culiar construction. It is so arranged
as TO be sealed from within, leaving
the outside surface perfectly square
and smooth. 1t is practically impos-
sible to open it without defacing it in
some way.
1t is the idea of the officials 10 have
the conductor taking mp the last going
coupon on a ticket, seal up the return
portion of the envelope, which must
not be opened except by the conductor
on the return trip. If opened by any
one except the conductor the ticket
will not be hOnOred.
