1NsrR1NG AGAINST INSANITY


 A novel departure has been taken by an English insurance company-that of issuing policies against Insanity See ing that one in every 2S0 persons In the United Kingdom is certified to be insane the company is of opinion that 1t will find large number of clients anxious to insure against such a melancholy contingency In their own case For a premium of 10s per annum the company will guarantee a payment at the rate of El00 year during the period of insanity up to five years, or for a premium of 20s. to pay al00 a year for an unlimited period
 There are few contingencies in an or dinary persons life that cannot be in, sured against Among the risks which can nowadays be insured against are: No issue in marriage,

Member Of Minneapolis Board
Of Education Freed.
HELD NOT GUILTY OF BRIBERY
Defense Contended Money Was
Taken as a Loan.

William X. Hicks, member and
secretary of the Minneapolis board
Of education, is not guilty of
accepting a bribe.s Hicks was exon
Grated by the jury which for about "a
week had been hearing evidence in
the Hennepin county district court.
AS the verdict was read by the
clerk the accused board member fair
ly trenlbled with excitement, then
suddenly leaned over and kissed his
wife. His next move was to hug his
attorney, James Peterson. and shake
hands with the jurymen all around.
Hicks was tried ON a charge of
accepting bribe from w ]. Burns, a
detective, known to him as W. J.
Bray, a salesman for closets. In order
to secure u closet order Bray, it was
alleged, gave the accused member $50.
The defense claimed that the $50
was understood at the time by both
parties to be a loan, as Hicks was
hard up and needed money to repair
his house, and chat a note was given
covering the amount
There are still three indictments
against Hicks, each charging the tax
Ing Of bribe, but as the evidence
would be much the same in these
cases as the one just tried it is pos
s1blc the indictments will be nolled

To Brand Counterfeit Money.

The secret service at Washington,
after several years Of patient negotia-
tions with the clearing house and
banking associations throughout the
United States, has managed to obtain
almost unanimous action regarding the
marking Of counterfeit money handed
to the receiving tellers. Practically
all the big banking institutions of the
United States have adopted rules re-
quiring the tellers hereafter to stamp
counterfeit on all specimens Of bad
money they receive. This will put ii
beyond the power Of the owners of
the counterfeit money to pass it on
unsuspecting persons after they have
failed to dispose of the coins or notes
at bank.

TRAINING FOR DIPLOMATS.
Former Ambassador Tower Advocates
Course In the Big Universities.

Former Ambassador Tower Advocates
Course In the Big Universities.
Charlemagne Tower, formerly am
bassador from the United States to
Germany, Is an advocate OF course
In special training for men who wish
to spend their lives in a diplomatic
career. In the Yale News, the official
student organ of the university, Mr..
Tower recently made the following
statement Of his observations and adj
Vice:
ut is imperative that the United
States should have men to transact
business in other countries who are
thoroughly capable Of coping with any
unusual situation. or technicality that
may arise and who are qualified to
meet their diplomatic adversaries ON a
perfectly equal footing. To attain this
standard all those who receive ap-
pointments to the service should be
obliged to absorb fundamental
knowledge Of the work which they are
to undertake.
ut is only too often the case that
the candidates who receive appoint
ments are utterly ignorant Of the ru-
diments not only Of diplomacy, but
also of systematic business methods.
A very simple and practical scheme
of remedying this matter would be to
establish course in diplomacy at the
larger universities which would lead
up to an examination for admission to
the service, just as is now required
Tor entering West Point and Annapo-
lis. This would not necessitate an in
dependent graduate school, but the
instruction could be easily woven into
the ordinary academic course, since
the means are within the power of
the larger institutions The course
would involve a study in French, Ger
man and Spanish, history and general
knowledge of international law. Too
much stress cannot be laid on a thor
ough knowledge Of French, in which
diplomatic transactions are chiefly car.
ried on.
The German system is far superior
to ours. Only on obtaining the degree
| Of Ph. D. can one be admitted to the
foreign: office. The course of study is
thorough and broad, so that when the
time comes for an appointment from
the emperor the appointee is perfectly
fitted for his duties. On the othel
hand, in the United States very otter
a man without the least qualification
receives immediate appointment b,

DRAWS FOOTBALL MORAL.

Presioent Fraises Harvard Fuliback
For Sacrifice In Vale Game. Il
a Ernest Yer Weibe's brilliant work as
fnllback on the Harvard football eleven
which defeated Yale the other day has
been recognized by President ROose-
welt, who has written a letter to Yer
tWiebe congratulating him. The letter
is as follows:
"a Ny Dear Mr., Yer sWeibe-Like every
other good Harvard 7 man, I have the
heartiest feeling of gratitude for the en-
tire team who won the great victory on
Saturday last. But I feel an especial self
gratitude toward you. It was through
you more than any one else that the ball
was put in a, position to enable Kennard
to do the work which he did so admira-
bly, and to kick the goal from the field.
For the good Of the team yo,A. gindivid-
ual good was sacrificed, and through this
sacrifice and through the admirable work
you had already done and through Ken
nard's fine kick victory was won How
ever, 1t was a first rate example Of the
interest of an individual being subordi-
mated to the good Of the team. There can
not be any better lesson for our national
life than to teach that the good of the in
dividual must be subordinated for the
good Of the people.
Now, I have the heartiest admiration
for Kennard's feat. He kicked the goal
and he did service that no one else
could have done, and too much praise
cannot be given him, but you are entitled
to every whit as much, and every man I
have met here feels just the way I do.
With heartiest good wishes and congratu-
lations believe me, sincerely yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
