Injury from Mosaultoea.

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
lions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused On the biting
or stinging pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners we're not ready
to quit without a fight, and an im-
provement society was formed which
consulted with my Office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk OF
the breeding area was drained, mos

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance e The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period Of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his presentsposition.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for mor than a
quarter of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each IN expert in his OWE de-
partment of work. VIM. e. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheavai in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $4,000, 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50, 100000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds ST. 900, OO0, 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

Interesting Items Gathered I'm the
Gopher State
New State Fair Buildings.

Hamline.-The State Fair grounds
will be about the busiest place in this
part of the state from now until the
fair opens on Sept. 2 with the work
laid out by the board of managers.
Awards were made to the extent of
$4,000, and other work was put in
line for immediate commencement.
Most important was the main dairy
building which is to be a handsome
pressed brick structure, of very sub
stantial construction and will stand
on the eastern edge of the grounds
near Smelling Avenue and beyond the
present farm machinery building. AS
1t is to be equipped with a mammoth
refrigerator and completely lighted,
the total cost will be several thou
sands more than the main contract.
Next comes the Poultry building
which will be of pressed brick and will
be very large in ground r q though
not as high in facade as some of the
structures. The main idea is to
secure space and light. 1t will stand
on the new forty purchased this
spring and north of the present
machinery building.
The construction of these new
buildings will force the farm machin-
cry division of the fair further north
and at the fair of 1907 it will extend
from its present beginnings near the
grand stand quite to the extreme
north end of the grounds.

after cattle into surrounding counties.
Into this reckless but verdant com
munity there came the smooth
tongued representative of a wild
west show, who hired several riders
at a high salary to do a h~air-raising
act, the chief feature being that they
should appear to be thrown from their
horses and dragged by the foot.
After they had practiced in a corral

himself and rising from the dirt, dis.
heveled and dazed, inquired:

Logger Drowned.

Sandstone.-Ben Elstad, a river

dentally fell off a log and although he
was an experienced swimmer, he was
drowned. He was only five feet from
the boom. His brother-in-law and
six other men wer near when he
ell, but they at first paid no atten-
kion to him, as it is a common occur
renee for the men to fall off the logs.
He rose to the surface and swan
enough to keep his nose above water,
but he did not get nearer to the log.
Mr.. Jay noticed this and started to
give him assistance with a pole, when
without any cutlery he went to the
bottom and did not rise again. The
body was recovered and shipped to
Grantsburg, Elstad's home. The man
was unmarried.

Tales of Heroism Relieve Recital of Appalling Disasters
Hairbreadth Escapes and Startling Adventures Form
Part of the Building Up of the Great City of the
Future" Immunes" Sought All Over Earth.

New York.-Not millions of dollars
alone, nor the skill of designers, nor
the cunning of craftsmen enter into
the making of a great city. Sky
scrapers, bridges, tunnels and sub
ways must be purchased at a heavy
cost of human life. Few realize how
many men die that a great public
work may be created. Engineers and
builders say that the sacrifice is in
evitable. Six tunnel systems are be-
ing constructed under the North and
East rivers. According to one esti.
mate, there is one man killed in them,
on an average, for every day Of the
year. A welLknown engineer has es-
timated that every floor of a modern
building of pretentious size has cost
a life, either in the forests where the
timber has been cut, in the coal and
iron mines, and stone quarries, the
steel mills, the caissons sunk deep in
the earth for the foundations, or in
the steel superstructures that rise
lacelike to the sky.
Hairbreadth Escapes.
Yet the spirit of adventure walks
hand in hand with death. While many
lives were lost that the Brooklyn and
Williamsburg bridges might be built,
there were escapes by the workmen
engaged on them that would seem
~grotesque and improbable if put into
q nnun1 n NOV lin f0n aunrr How
of the year during the construction
of a cassion or river tunnel, but the
men who escape tell stories that
would enhance the fame of Hugo, Poe,
or Eugene Sue. The sacrifice of life
in public works, too, is a story apart
from the record of seven lives ended
by violence in this city for every day
in the year. It takes no count of the
men, women and children killed by
accidents in the streets-one victim
for every sunset.
A hint of the sacrifice of life in pub
the board of in Manhattan.
Last year there were 2,160 deaths by
violence in the boroughs, and 6S4, or
nearly one-third, were caused by falls,
explosions, the collapse of earth in ex-
cavations, premature blasts, and fall
ing rocks and timbers. The river tun-
nels were pushed forward at the cost
of 6S lives, or 43 in the Pennsylvania
terminal works, 20 in the Belmont
tunnel, two in the subway borings I'M
der the East river, and three in the
Hudson company's terminal at Church
and Dey streets.

though as many as $50 men worked
at once under compressed air in the
caissons, not a single death from "the
bends" was reported. The hard
lessons of the Brooklyn bridge Gals
sons had been well learned. At first

shifts. The working periods were

Search World for nImmunes."

The necessity of obtaining sand
hogs" with these peculiar physical
qualifications, with tunnel building in
this city to an extent hitherto un-
precedented for tunnel workers, and
not a little difficulty in obtaining the
required number. The Pennsylvania
railroad, for instance, literally
searched the world for men of ex-
perience to build the tunnels. On
the crosstown shafts they have cores
of Austrians who get their experience
in the Simplon tunnel. The engineers
and foremen include men who have
tunneled in Egypt, South Africa and
England. AS many as 5000 men have
been employed at n time on the Nc
Adoo tunnel project. On account Of
the constant menace to life and limb.
their wages are proportionately large.
Chief Cause of Danger.
The large number of casualties on
the North river works is explained
by the peculiar difficulties of the
work. The East river tunnels were
driven largely through rock. In the
North river the tunnels must be
driven through masses of soft silt,
varying from oozing mud to treacher-
Gus quicksands. The compressed air
must be maintained at a higher pres
sure to keep out the water. The dam
ger is greatest from a blowout" or
a leak, with its sudden thrush of
water. Indeed, the old heading of the
tunnel which crosses the North river
at Morton street was abandoned at
n time because so many lives were
lost by "blowouts."
Last January eight "sand hogs"
fought for their lives in a caisson
nearly 100 feet under ground at the
Hudson companies terminal at Fulton
and Church streets. There was a
blowout and a sudden thrush of
water. The eight men scrambled for
the ladder reaching up to the door
of the airlock. The opening was only
large enough for one man to pass
through at a time, and the men fought
on the ladder to be the first to reach
it. Two of them fell back into the
water in a struggling heap. A third
got his head through the door and was
dragged back by two others. All three
fell on a fourth, and all had a duck.
ing. Finally the rescuers in the air
lock hoisted them from their trap
