even the official denial which usually
 follows such announcements didn't cause any one to have any serious
 doubt about it. Now. however. there Is a story going round the city that the story was started by a number or shrewd insurance brokers at Lloyd's | lot Of money.
 l Whether the insurance bTokers are guilty or not. it is certain that they have not failed to take advantage of ! the situation created Iv it. They have underwritten insurances for many hundreds of thousands of dol i lars. at the handsome premium Of % per cent against the pOstponement of i the coronation on account of a birth | in the royal family. Such post ponement would mean heavy loss { thousands of London tradesmen who
 are now making arrangements for the goods required for the festivities and | they thus may be said to have a 1 legitimate insurable interest. It does
 not matter to the brokers on Lloyd's. however. whether there is any insur- able interest or not. They will write
 a risk on any imaginable combina- ton of circumstances if only the
 premium offered is high enough to tempt them.
 i They were hard hit when the late King Edward died. His illness was SO unexpected and the medical bull letins for the first day were so hope 1 ful that the brokers accepted risks at a premium as low as 10 per cent. ! One enterprising American storekeep- I CT in London had large stock of prayer books containing the prayer
 for King Edward. or course. these became unsalable as soon as King George ascended the throne. but the storekeeper had insured them at a t1O per cent premium on the first day of the kings illness and he made handsome profit by the transaction. He had also been shrewd enough to buy up all the floating stocks of black goods in the market and he insured them, too. against
 the event of the kings recovery He lost the premium on that transaction. but he made it up in profits on the
 sale of the goods
 heard the other day of a man who was expecteing an event of the kind which the king IS now Sald to be looking forward to. Some of his friends chaffingly suggested that it might be twins. He went off to Lloyd's on the spot and for a per cent premium obtained a policy for S3.O0O payable in case of double event Sure enough. the twins ar rived on time. and he got his 5000.
 An office mate who envied his luck
 was expecting a similar event and
 tried to secure a policy payable m the
 event of the baby having blue eyes
 The brokers were quite willing to
 write the policy. but they wanted
 premium of 5O per cent and the pros
 pective father declined the gamble
 When the baby was born with blue
 eyes he invited all his friends to kick
 him.

Beginning next Monday. February ,. Rev. sam Small of Atlanta.

STREET CAR CONDUCTOR
 RELIEVED OF HIS FARES
Highwayman Boards Car Near East lake Park and Gets Away With
 Less Than S6.

Another lone hlghwayman. operating win neither city nor county license. has held Ip a Phoenix street car He turned the trick near Eastlake park shortly after 10 o'clock last night and got between s. and S6 for his trouble. His identity is a total mystery and the police have only the most meager de scriptiOn tO work upon.
 Conductor W. l.. Bates was in charge s. thr car, which the robber selected as the most promising. IL k believed that the highwayman lay in Wait un- t!l car without a passenger came along. Had he wished to hold up a few passengers along with the conductor he could have done so almost any time last evening.
 Bates had taken his car around the loop just north of Eastiake park and was almost back to Washington street. lie was running slowly nofthward. Knowing that a curve was just ahead Of him.
 Suddenly the lights on the ear went out and the conductor at the controller knew that the trolley was off the wire. He hurriedly threw on the brake and brought the car to a stop.
 When the car was standing still and Bates turned around the muZZle of revolver was within a foot of his face and a gruff voice ordered him tO throw up his hands He did so and the rob- Der hurricdly went through his pockets. evidently searching for nbthing except money All that Bates had was :n one pocket Of his coat and was mostly in small change he had collected during Ihe day. Altogether there was some ,ling less than S6. With the chicken feed the hoid-up man took a brass check such as is issued to employees of the street railway company as a pass. After his collection he turned and hurried southward. His search Of the conductor had told him that Bates was unarmed so he knew he was not risking q shot in the back
 Bates ran his car to the barn. which is only a few blocks from the spot where the hold-up occurred. There he told Manager S H. Mitchell of the robbery and the police were notified. officers William Bradley. and John Ludlam made an investigation. but found nothing As the car 'sas held up more than twenty blocks from the city hall the highWayman had plenty of time to get away before they ar rived
 According to Bates the fellow wore white hat light suit and brown sweater. He could give no other de- scription. Though the man was not masked it was too dark for Bates to get a good view of his face

wrong. It really doesn't exist at all. or if it has any existence it is a corner of the rotunda of the Royal Exchange. where the insurance brok- CTS gather to do business. They used to meet in a coffee tavern kept by man named Lloyd and the name has stuck to them ever since. Ship brokers and owners used to meet in the same place and from this fact also springs the title of Lloyd's reg iSter of reporting ships The famous "captain's room at Lloyd's" is now in the basement of the Royal EN change.
 Of course. lot of the insurance business done at Lloyd's is perfectly legitimate. but lot of it is pure gambling. l don't suppose any of the brokers has the actuarial calcu- lations on the probabilities of twins being born at his finger tips SD that any premium he may quote is just a bet In the same way race track gamblers often get cold feet and i'm sure themselves at Lloyd's against loss It is difficult to see how the broker who takes a risk of this kind differs rom an tENludfA bNbklildhtI. \ couple of years ago a plunger who made up his mind (" try t0 break the bank at Monte Carlo insured him. self against being cleaned out. He came back in couple of months for his money.
 A common form of gambling at Lloyd's is indulged in by persons who think they have inside information as| to the chancellor of the eNchequer T intentions about new taxation when he introduces the yearly budget. They insure against rise or a fall in the tea tax. although they have no more than a drinkers interest in the price of tea. or they bet that the income tax will be higher or lower During the recent rubber boom a lot of per sons found it more exciting to insure at LIoyds against a rise in the price of rubber than to take a flyer in the rubber share market. I know men who before they go on journey take out a policy either against an acci- dent or against there being no acci- dent In fact. if you have the money you can find some one at Lloyd's to take either side of any gamble you propose.
