HITS GIRL; ENDS IN HOSPITAL

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-After he had
insulted several men and women In an
Eighth avenue car and struck Miss
Jennie McLane of 259 West Thirtieth
street in the face, passengers pounced
upon William Reilly, 80 years old, a
giant in stature, at One Hundred and
Twentieth street and beat him so fear
fully that he was finally taken from the
West One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street station to the j. Hood Wright
hospital.
So indignant had the passengers be-
come at the affrOnts Of Reilly, who ap-
peared sober and seemed only desrous
of uSurping the title, Original Car
Hog" that their tempers were sorely
tried when Miss McLane tried to enter
the aisle at the end of which Reilly sat.
He had his feet thrown over the back
of the seat in front of him. The con-
ductor was terrified. He demonstrated
with the man but was too small to en-
force his demands. Miss McLane po-
litely asked to be permitted to enter
the aisle Reilly'S answer was an oath.
She tried to push her way to a seat
when he struck her with the fiat OF his
hand.
Men had been watching the boorish
actions of Reilly ever since the car
left Forty-ninth street. One man put
down a box of tools. He was about S
feet 2 inches in height and weighed 1875
pounds. With a leap over the seat he
reached Reilly. He brought down an
iron fist on Reilly's nose and then
grabbed him by the collar and threw
him from his seat to the street. The
little man proceeded to administer a
beating to the giant, at which the pas
sengers howled with pleasure. The ac-
ton of the carpenter aroused the fight
ing spirit OF the other men,
Every time Reilly rose a new man
knocked him down. They took turns
In sending their fists into his face until
they had him In a terrible condition.
Meanwhile the bully howled for the

Enlightened Methods in Life Insurance

The metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany of New York has just distributed
some official information in the form of
a statement which would be quite un-
precedented in the history of life in
surance were 1t not for the fact that
this same institution has before treated
Its policy holders to similar surprises.
The company announces that it has
declared and Is payin & cash dividend
upon it's Industrial Policies maturing in
1905, amounting to more than two MIL
| lions of dollars The full significance
of this action is apparent when the
nature of the Metropolitan Lies in

when his Policy natures, but agrees to
pay a definite, specified sum i'm return

| In other words it sells insurance at
what the protection is worth-not. as

| Upon this basis the cost to the person
insured is of course determined by past
| experience. and as the factor OF COM
petition prevents the exaction of too
high a rate the premiums must always
be as low as safe administration of the
business will permit.
It may be assumed. then, that a pol
| Icy holder in the metropolitan Life has
bought a definite amount of insurance
at the lowest market rate, has agreed
to pay for 1t in definite sums at definite
intervals. and has no more expectation
of extra benefits than he would have In
buying fire insurance or house on
similar terms
1t happers. however. that this policy
holder is associated with company

phenom Snal growth and prosperity. and
as the actual cost of individual insur-

has thus distributed approximat tely ten
millions of dollars within the past few

| of the company's present condition that
the voluntary dividend OF two millions
now being paid is the largest yet de-
clared In any one year.
IT need not be assumed that the
Metropolitan Life desires TO pose as a

worker and a leader of the Ladies' Aid
society of her church, has been arrested

shown, one of the biggest moonshiners
in this section and worked her still In
cave over which her residence was
erected. The cave had an outlet half
mile away, where the liquor was dis
posed of.
Her home was built on the mountain
side overlooking the little village of
Buck and she was one of the most re-
spected persons of that vicinity. For
fifteen years she has been noted for
her church work and has contributed
literally to all religious causes.
Her arrest was the result Of her be-
trayal by one of the employees of the
still, who had become infatuated with
her.

of hooligans known as the Fine

his imprisonment, and there has been a
desperate feud betwe n his two lieu

Alain and Picot, the lieutenants, vie

gang hesitated to decide on their re-
spective merits
Eventually 1t was decided that the
exalted position should go to the victor
in a duel, which was fought after mid
night on the Boulevard de la Vllette.
There were to be no seconds, and the
only condition was that one of the COM
batants was to be left on the ground.
The result was known i'm the MORN
ing, when Alain was found lying un-
conscious on the boulevard with deep
wound In his chest. He is now In a
critical state at the hospital. and the
police are searching for his successful
rival.
