FRAUD IN LIFE INSURANCE,
Young Woman FeiEned Death and
Uncle Collected Money.

Young Woman Feigned Death and
Uncle Collected Money.
The most amusing insurance fraud
on record is one of the oldest. 1t dates
back to 1870 and thereabouts, when it
was worked by a young woman with
an extraordinary power Of Stimulating
death and an elderly man who passed
for her uncle. Thrice, in different parts
of England, she insured her life in her
uncle's favor, went into commissions
and, to all appearances, died.
The third time the game was played
with an ingenious variation. The uncle
went to life insurance company, ex-
planned that he was in financial straits
and wished to borrow money on his
niece's estate. To compensate for such
loan he would have to insure her
life for its value, but could not afford
to have the insurance become known,
as it would expose his financial condi-
ton and ruin his credit
The company therefore agreed to
write the insurance under bond Of
secrecy. AS usual. the young woman
went into commissions and died. Before
her funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see Her uncle was Frustrated.
He did not try to collect the insurance
for some months. and when he did the
company paid him in full with express
sions Of real sympathy. SO did nine
other companies which he had silenced
by the same ruse. and he Joined his
niece on the continent with very i'm
pressive fortune.-Leslie's Magazine.

WOMEN WORKERS IN ENGLAND.
Their Wages Increasing in Cotton,
Wool and similar Industries


Wool and Similar Industries.
Some striking facts regarding wonl-
en- as wage earners were given by G..
Ii. Wood, f. S. s.. at IL meeting held
at Bedford College the other night I'M
der the auspices of the Womens Indus
trial Council, says the London Daily
Express.
Remarkable changes have taken place
during the last half century, he said.
For example, in 1851 there was one
woman to every three men working Oh
the land. Now there are eighteen men
to every woman employed in agricul-
ture.
The chief wOmans industry ut the
present day, apart from domestic SER
vice, is the cotton trade. In 1851 the
number of men and women engaged in
that trade was equal, but in 1901 there
were ten women to seven men.
In the lace trade, once almost the
monopoly of women. men now seem to
be slowly displacing them. While in
the last fifty years the number of men
employed in that industry has grown
from 5000 to 1900 the number of
women had fallen from $1,000 to
$4,000.
Generally speaking. women seem to
be getting hold of the light, centralized
forms of employment.
During the last twenty years the
wages they earned have increased in
the cotton, wool. worsted and hosiery
Industries, but they have decreased in
other trades.
1t is very signifcent. concluded the
speaker, that whereas among men there
Is a marked tendency to leave badly
paid trades for those where better
wages can be obtained. no such move
ment can be observed among women.
The first trade which comes hands
seems to be the one which woman
adopts. She seems to make no attempt
to find the best outlet for her labor.
