New Jersey lives up TO Its reputa-

The latest case In point is that OF
Peter Mowry, an engineer on the Del.
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road One day when his train reached
Millburn he discovered that he did not
have water enough to carry him to
the next water tank. He hesitated
only moment, then jumped out OF
his cab and disappeared. Before he
climbed back to his seat the fire en-.
gines came tearing down the street
toward the station. In reply to the
foreman, who asked where the fire
was, Mowry explained his needs, and
said he had pulled the alarm because
he thought maybe the fire company
could run hose to hydrant and fill
his tank. He did not judge his fellow
Jerseymen wrongly, for the hose was
unwound and he soon had all the wa
/. ter he needed.

VICTIM OF HLAcKMAILERs.
Armenian Merchant Killed Because
He Wouldn't Pay.

New York Seeking motive Tor
the murder Monday Of H. 8. Tavshan-
jian, the Armenian rug merchant, the
district attorneys Office was led Tues
day to an investigation OF a report
that Tavshanjian was one of ten
wealthy Armenians who had been
marked for slaughter If they failed to
give up $4,000 each to blackmailing
band of their countrymen.
From sources, carefully protected by
the authorities. came information OF
startling character and said to be
accurate. This is to the effect that q
secret society of Armenians, originally
organized for what the members held
to be patriotic, though revolutionary
purposes, has degenerated into an In
strument for blackmail.
The killing of Tavshanjian and the
others, it was stated, was planned
more than year ago. They received
letters which they interpreted as
meaning that they must pay or take
the consequences. The threatened
men uiSCuSSeu tuc ludltcI dI q uCCl-
ing. Tayshanjian was present A
number of the merchants were In
favor of acceding to the demand.
Better give them money and live"
they said.
NO" said Tavshanjian. LAS mat
ter of principle we should not pay.
You can do as you will. They will
get nothing from me-"
This is the work of an Armenian
in this city who is the worst man in
the world" said prominent Armeni.
an. HE has been responsible for
many murders and lesser crimes, and,
too cowardly to commit them himself,
he gets men Of small intellect to do
the work for him by making them be.
lieve that they are working for their
country" Another well-todo Armenian
] said: "A priest who tried to fight the
band was murdered in Odessa. Father
Kasper Vartarian, killed In this city,
was another victim"

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
10 little, comparatively, from the Arm.
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
or than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
AS the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-.
feIred company.
The company's payments 10 policy
holders during the six months end
Ing June 80 were 21,660,761. It is
Interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under. policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,1s0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,4S0,1S5. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. It is money saved for
the aged, rs well as money provided
for the families Of those who die pre-
maturely. ... @

DIR. Marade, the French inventor of
voice telegraphy says that the reason
women can talk longer, and faster.
and harder than men is because their
5larynges are narrower. He asserts
that there Is. need: for tremendous
amount Of power in talking with a
broad larynx-that an orator talking
to a big crowd does as much work as
a porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen.
tlemen loose in the country who are
doing as much work as the average
railroad.
