SYNDIcATES AS AIDS


New York, Sept. IA. Financial rep
resentatives Of two big insurance com
panies were examined yesterday BY ths
legislative committee in aldermanit
chambers, and they explained in greater
detail than in the previous four days
sessions the principal syndicate trans
actions Of the two big companies. AS.
sistant Treasurer Shipman Of the New
York Life and Frederick Cromwell, treas
urer of the Mutual Life, were the prin-
cipal witnesses yesterday. Mr.. 'Ship-
man said that when the New York Life
went into a Joint account arrangement
with one or more bankers to buy and
sell securities at profit for its policy
holders, the company put up all the
money, but shared with the bankers
one-half Of the profits, holding the
bankers, however, responsible for one
half Of the losses, should any losses
occur. That arrangement, he said, for
utilizing the company's funds, had
proved more economical than ali at
tempt on the part of the company to
buy and sell securities direct.
Treasurer Cromwell Of the Mutual
Life said that his company had cleared
100000 ON its $4,000, 600 participation
in the Cuban bond syndicate with Spey-
er 4 Bros. Mr. Cromwell said further
that the methods OF modern finance
made it imperative that every large in
surance company buy its securities on
the ground floor through the syndicate
method, instead Of doing as they did
IN former years by buying from brokers
after one Of two profits had been made
by outsiders. Comparisons between the
new and the old method, he said, would
show that the syndicate method was
far more profitable to the polievholders.
He added that members Of the finance
committee Of the Mutual Life frequent
" backed up their Judgment as insur-
ance committeeman by buying OH their
private account some Of the very same
class Of securities which they advised
their company to buy.

All Lavishly Jeweled.

All the Nan0eTbilts are 1aVishly jew
eled. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. senior,
who is beginning to take an interest in
society again, has the finest black pearls
in America. These large, perfectly
matched stones are worn on all occa-
sions. and often she adds an all-round
crown of diamonds. Her daughter-in-
5aw, Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
has as many changes of jewels as most
women have changes of clothes.
Mrs Vanderbilt has crown of dia-
monds copied after an old Flemish ducal
coronet. but this is seldom worn. Mrs
Vanderbilt also has two gigantic rubIes
set with one single diamond, and she
rejoices in wearing this comparatively
simple piece. Her sister-in-law. Mrs.

Some From Washington.

Many Of the jewels which grace the
Metropolitan each Monday and We'd
nesday night have become historic in
social circles not only In New York but
the country over. Women from Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Boston. Chicago,
Denver, and San Francisco. who are en-
tertained By New Workers during the
opera season. add their jeweled magnifi-
cence TO an already dazzling array,
Some of these jewels seldom see the
light save on opera nights and especial
Iy do their owners endeaVor TO gird
themselves in their cleaning glory when
the opera bill preeedes g large private
ball, or when special honor is to be
done some famous singer. Yet there IS
some sham even among these birds Of
paradise IN the famous parterre circle
Women sometimes become panic-stricken
and have counterfeit gems set TO dupli-
cate their famous pieces of real JeWelry,
but these women are few, as the danger
Of robbery in the opera house is really
remote Just before the opera season
opens the safety deposit vaults yield
up their treasures, some Of which have
been in families for half a century.

PASTORS QUALIFICATIONS.
How a Departing Clergyman Told Con-
gregation the Truth.

Representative Hay of Virginia de-
clines to father this story. but it is
told by one Of his constituents, who
says he first heard it from the Repre-
sentative.
In one of Mr.. Hays counties a country
minister had announced that he in
tended to sever his connection with the
church and would preach his farewell
sermon on a certain Sunday. The con-
greGation was large. and on tip-toe, be-
cause the minister had been unfortunate
enough to incur the hostility of a part
of his people. and his salary-a small
one at that-had not been Iiquidated.
This, however, was nothing Unusual,
and gave points to the following re
marks In his discourse;
1.-The minister that you waEt here
must have three qualifications First.
ne must be young and unmarried, that
he may be able to accept the salary
that you promise. L say you promise.
advisedIy. Secondly. he must have q
small appetite. TO be able to live on
what you pay Thirdly. he must be a
good man. so that he may live in
Heaven. come down and preach for you
on Sunday, and go back in time for tea
MY hearers, I have said my say. and
am off for new fields and pastures
green. and may the Lord have mercy
on your souls

Two magnificent collections Of gems

ffackay and Mrs. Bradley Martin went
to London. Mrs. Martin owned a set
of pearls supposed to have been worn
by Marie Antoinette. and Mrs. Martins
diamonds were insured for sos. 600. Mrs.
Mackay's favorite gems are sapphires,
and she has a necklace of sapphires and
diamonds and FIVE brooches which she
used to wear against q gown of white
brocade ten years ago. Last winter she
displayed a few OF these gems at the
opera when she was the guest of Mrs

in Other World

Champ Clark tells this good story about
an Freshman and a justice of the peace
down in Missouri:
AN adopted fellow-citizen from the
Green Isle was before Squire Sendemup
on a charge of assault and battery
and having been convicted of similar
offenses several times the squire gave
him the limit. $50
Pat paid the fine like a little man
anG asked for a 'recate'
We never give a receipt, said the
squire. The fine Is marked paid. and
that. sir. is sufficient
But / want recate,' continued
Pat
Why do you want a receipt, sir?'
demanded the squire rather angrily-
'Whin / go to the ither world yer
honor. an whin / come to the gate. St.
Peter will say, land Patrick, have yer
paid yer debts?' And [ Will say, Yer
reverence, | have" And he will ask
''Patr were you niver fined for bat
ing Jim McCray?' And 1 viii tell his
reverence, I was, and thin he will ask
for the recate. and thin. yer honor, I'll
have to go to the other place to find
you to git the recate.'
