ONE DEATH IN 1000.
Mutual Life Report Shows That Num-
Der Killed by Autos.

Some interesting statistics are given
IN the medical report oe The Mutual
Life Insurance company, of this city,
for the year 1904, compiled for the sixty
second annual statement OF the COM
pany, says the New York World. The
report is more valuable han ordinary
vital statistics, for, necessarily, it deals
with a class of people comparatively
weIl-to-do, who were careful of them
selves. as was proved by having their
lives insured, and when they were in
sured they were in perfect health and
living in healthful localities.
Five thousand three hundred and
Eeventy-nine persons insured in The
Mutual Life died during 1904, an in
crease of 434 over the year previous
There are more than 100000 of the COM
pany'S policies in force The average
age at death was 51.96 years, the aver
age duration of insurance 1929 years,
the average amount of insurance paid
on each life S3,67048.
Among the causes of death heart dis
ease heads the list with SO deaths Con-
sumption, pneumonia Bright's disease
apoplexy, casualties, cancer and typhoid
fever follow in the order named.
OF the 312 fatal casualties-five LOST
their lives in automobile accidents. six
In the burning of the IrOquOis theater
Chicago, forty-two in railroad accid-
ents, twice as many as in 1903, thirteen
in shipWrecks or by drowaiQg at sea or
on the lakes. eighty-seven by being
hurt by vehicles or horses in the streets
sixteen by firearms and thirty-four by
homicide
The deaths from old age during 1904
were IL.

was 81, an increase of &c over the pre-
ceding year.
