FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Nit Warranted by Number sf KatssN Subjects at Present Residing In
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest For two or three. strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason fs that the number of Germans in Brazil Is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was IA, ,333, ,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 100000, of which number less than 5000, 900 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14.O00,OO0 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,7GO,OO0 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300, ,OOe were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,O0O, or a lit- tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra. zil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer' ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form a ma. jority of their population, ss some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900, 900, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha- rina the Germans are 100000 in total of 300,0O0, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are AT, 7,0OO in 2SO,OOO, and in Sac Paulo 3O,. 900 in 1,43O, 900.
 It is pointed out as omineus that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish ne wspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll. the same may be said of Germans in New York, and In Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit- ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in i'm creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every ship}oad of Germans landed In Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case toe

The Prudential and Its PoIicyhoIders.

The Annual Statements of The Pruden-
tial, which is published on another page,
shows that the Company has enjoyed
another year of exceptional prosperity
Over $3I2. 900. 900 OF new insurance was
issued and paid for during 1904. this
amount being the largest in the history
of the Company. and one billion dollars
of insurance is now in force upon its
books. The Company also paid to its
poiicyholdefs during 1904 over $I3. 900.
900, which makes the total payments to
policyholders up to date over 500, 900. 900.
ThePrudential has always had the rep
utation of being exceptionally liberal in
the treatment of its policyholders. Every
year the Company pays hundreds of
thousands of dollars in dividends and as
additions to policies. which were not
stipulated in the contracts themselves
When changes are made in the policy
contracts which make for increased lber-
atty to the insured, the Prudential has
always made these concessions retroac-
tive wherever practicable. so that holders
of old policies may secure these benefits.
Over $4,000. 900 has been voluntarily
distributed in this way to holders of old
policies.
A particularly interesting statement is
published this year 1t shows that the
Company has accumulated assets
amounting to over SIS. 200. 600, of which
$I3. 900. 600 is surplus over all liabilities.
The liabilities are SIS. 900. 600.
The character of the investments is
plainly shown to be of the highest possible
quality, and the margin of security on
loans, on bonds ard mortgages. and col.
laterals is plainly shown and should in
spire every policy holder of the Company
with confidence in its conservative man.

Ben nur.
again to be Staged tn Washinston

The Klaw & Erlinger Company have
in their time. made many notable pro-
auctions and thereby earned for them
selves an enyiable reputation. The most
ambitious effort of their career IS = Ben
Hur, which scored brilliant success in
Washington three seasons ago and which
is booked for another engagement at the
National Theatre the week of May 1,
with matinee on Wednesday and Sat
urday. The scenic equipment to be
used in the staging this season is that
which created furore in London three
years ago. when = Ben Hur" was intro
duced to the English public at the Drury
Lane Theatre. These effects were part
of the Worlds Fair run of "Ben Hur" at
the Olympic Theatre. St Louis this past
summer and the engagement just played
at the Big Auditorium Theatre. Chicago
No play produced Within the four walls
of theatre has scored success equalling
this impressive and fascinating romance.
Although dealing with the most delicate
subject in the history of the stage. its
freedom from anything that might CRATE
upon the nerves of the most religiously
sensitive. has earned the endorsement
of the very best people in every commun-
ity. To describe 'Ben Hur" reference
must be made to it as series OF magnifi-
cent pictures illustrating the times of the
Messiah on earth. Conspicuous are the
"Star of Bethlehem" the "City of Jeru-
SALEM" from the terrace garden of the
Palace OF Hur in Judea THE interior of
Roman gallery. the Grove of Daphne"
the Fountain of Castalia. the REALS
tic Roman chariot race in which eight
horses struggle for supremacy" the
"Vale of Hinnon" and the Mount of
Olives" All are remarkable exhibits of
the best scenic art. To these are added
some wonderful effects in electric light
ing. as in the Star of Bethlehem, I"
where rs, 900 electric lights of go candle
power are used to furnish its powerful
ray. The advance sale of seats for the
Washington engagement opens Thursday
morning, April 27th, at nine o'clock.
