MARRIAGE INSURANCE.
Premiums Pnltl on Matrimony-
Hovr it Works Effect * in
the Rurnl Districts of
Ponnsylvnnln.
Correspondence N. Y ( Sun.
Mnrriiigo insurnnoo is becoming ns
contagious in Pennsylvania niul ml-
joining slates ns death-bed insurance ;
there is likely to bo as much criti
cism of it. In some counties the
judges refuse to grant charters to the
marriage insurance companies , but
the parties who are refused apply in a
neighboring jurisdiction and nro suc
cessful. They readily procure n char
ter or license to go into the business
of guaranteeing single young men nml
women § 1000 , more or less , when they
marry.
Soliciting agents find it very plain
sailing in the country districts , and
do considerable business among young
women by assuring them that yoking
men seeking wives invariably select a
young woman who has had sullicient
business and judgment about her to
got hciself insured in time. 1'ho
consequence is that the young women
pay over their hard-earned dollars and
then revel in the hope that very soon
n young man will come along hunting
a wife ; that ho will select her ; that
she will got § 1000 soon after her wed
ding-day from the company , and that
little fortune will bo so very handy to
have in Iho house lo buy a parlor and
bedroom set , carpets , a hone , a few
cows , and many odds and ends to
start married life with.
These concerns , moro properly ,
should bo called guarantee companies.
They do business with unmarried pee
ple. No capital is required to start a
company moro than is necessary to
pay for a charter , furnish an oflico ,
pay for the printing of a lot of blanks ,
circulars and letter-heads , and start
out a lot of agents. A few hundred
dollars is suflicient. Agents scour
the country , scatter the splendidly-
worded circulars broadcast , and in a
few months 1,000 young people have
joined class A and paid § 4 each to be
come participating members. Some
companies do not charge as much.
Out of this § 4,000 paid in the agents
receive their very largo percentage for
commissions , say § 1,000 , and the
balance goes to the directors. Whenever -
over any one member of class A is
married , ho or she sends in the certi
ficate of marriage , duly witnessed by
the local agent , and the company at
once proceeds to collect § 1 from each
of the 1)9 ! ) other .members of that
class. They promptly respond , and
the directors , after deducting 20 per
cent , of the § 999 so collected , send
the balance to the member who is mar
ried. The company is expected
to do this if it is governed by honest
principles of business. Hcnco the
directors receive nearly § 200 from
every member who marries , as their
charge for collecting the assessments.
Sonio companies withlossbrasschargo
but ten per cent , for collecting assess
ments , and return about § 900 to the
beneficiary. The better kind of com
pany charges 5 per cent. The person
marrying drops out of this class and
as fast as marriages occur now mem
bers are substituted to keep the class
of 1,000 full. Some successful com
panies keep thrco full classes going.
Children 13 years of ago are received
Y as members and assessed so much.
The younger the person is the less the
rate , and the older the higher. The
officials pretend to have a system ,
based upon careful calculation , as to
marriage probabilities , just the same
as the old line life companies have as
to death probabilities.
Hence it will be seen that a yeung
woman engaged to bo married a year
from date may join a company , pay
her initiation fee , run the chances of
half a dozen assessments , and when
she is married she will receive , if she
is fairly dealt with , about $000. If her
intended is smart , ho , too , will join a
company , and he , too , will receive
§ 900 sixty or ninety days after sufli-
ciont proofs have been received of his
m rriage.
Thus far the oxporicnco of some
young men and young women are in
teresting. A Sclmylkill countyyoung
lady left her homo because she couhi
not bear to be ridiculed about her
misfortune witli her intended. She
thought she was to bo married lasi
month , but the young man ran " away
and left her. Now she has" neither
the § 900 that she would have reccivet
nor a husband. The details of her
bad luck leaked out , and she went tc
Philadelphia to escape the taunts anc
jibes of her ruder acquaintances.
Across in the next county , Lohigh ,
two young people wore married. Thoj
belonged to ditferont companies. Ii ]
less than thirty days they fought ami
separated , but the proofs of their mar
riage had been sent in to the homo
oflico and in duo course of time cacl
received the amount of money duo ;
and they are now separately onjoyinf ,
it. The young woman is oil'on a trip
to Europe , and the young man starlet
a harness-making shop , There are
many who now charge that the youn
woman just married to got her money
and never intended to live aa a wife t <
that man. Some say that she boastet
of the triek she was g oing to play tc
get money to ooo Paris.
A young woman of Lehigli count }
was compelled to withdraw from lie
class membership because , she said
she had 103 assessments in two month
and to pay 81 for e.ieh was a tax Jieiiv
ior than she could bear. "Why , i
seems to mo , " said she , "that all th
members of our class were gettinf
married at once. lily father refused
to help mo any further , BO I was compelled
polled to drop out of the class after
had paid § 83. "
An industrious young mechanic
working in the shops in this borough
joined a company sixteen months ago
TJico months ago he was married , amen
on yesterday bo received § 900 , wliicl
ho is using to improve his home. II
said ; "I am about § 730 ahead of th
investment , and I consider mysel
lucky. It'a all right for a young mai
to go in. If his girl 'goes back 01
him' ho can very easily get anotlici
and ho will do BO rather than couth ) ute
to pay the heavy drain of the assess ,
mcnts. Hut a modest young woman
can't 'go courting' and choose a hus
baud as a man can a wife : If she ha
a fall-out with her intended , or ho do
' sorts her , she has got to wait until an
other man offers. "
A gentleman who is largely inter
csted in the business made this state
'mont : "Tho business is perfectly lo
' gitimato. A thousand unmarried
people agree to pay § 1 to each mom
b'or of the class as soon as they ar
named. We simply do the organisi
ng and collect ing , and chnrgo a small
lercontage for it. No had results are
at nil likely to Inppon , as in the wild-
; at death-bed insurance , so-called.
3omo companies have it so arranged
hat if persons do not got married in a
certain number of years , they will bo
entitled to quite a nice sum in time ,
which the company Avill pay. There
my bp some companies that may havd
icon imposed upon , as wo hear of ,
untl which you say you also have
icard about , but nearly all the com-
winics arc very strict , and do not take
icoplo without any character or who
mvo no respect for the marriage vow.
The companies hereabouts are all
lonost and trustworthy. "
THE YELLOWSTONE.
scploratlons of That Wonderful
Conutrj A Hello of Iho
Castor right.
sloux City Journal.
Judge Akin comes back from the
Yellowstone country laden with infer-
nation about this now part of the now
lorthwest. A reporter who was fa-
orcd with an interview yesterday is
nablcd to give the following points :
Glondivo , the present terminus uf
ho Northern Pacific on the Yellow-
tone , is lively. There are already
ourteon graves in the cemetery , and
ho deceased , excepting two children ,
11 died with their boots on. Uosidcs
ho railroad buildings there are thirty
louses in the town at twenty-six of
vhich whisky straight is sold.
The route of the railroad above
londivo follows the valley on the
outh side of the river. The river is
ot crossed until Iluntly is reached ,
n Bomo places the bluffs run down
keep to the river , and in places the
ngineors wore seen Irom the steamer
ung over the blufisido by a rope
round their waists while they located
lino. This bluff soil is sliding and
reachcrous , and it will bo difficult to
laintain a road after it is built.
The valley is from five to fifteen
liles wide , and the soil proves excel-
ont for crops.
The Crow Indians are not friendly
0 the railroad that is being built over
heir reservation , and there is talk
ibput an Indian war by the disap
pointed settlers on the north side who
xpccted the read to bo built on their
ido of the stream.
The judge went up on the steamer
? erry to Port Ouster on the Big
lorn river , within fifteen miles of thu
Juater battle-field. The country there
s rugged and forbidding , and the cli
mate subject to sudden changes. Ono
lay attcr sweltering through a tom-
icraturo of 110 ° in the sun there was
a frost at night.
The monument to the men that died
n the fight with Ouster is being put
n place on the battle-field. A soldier
vlio had been there assisting in the
vork brought back a irhastly relic of
ho fight which ho gave to the judge ,
"t was a portion of the upper jaw ,
vith the tooth in place , of a man who
md fallen in that last hand to hand
trugglo when Ouster and his few ro-
naining men , surrounded and ovor-
lowered , died fighting. The monu-
nent rises where the "long-haired
ihief" was found by the troops ot
Vliles' command , piled in the same
icap with the horses and men that had
lied with him en that terrible July
day.
day.Mor'o
Mor'o pleasant mementoes of his
, rip to the Yellowstone are brought
jack by the judge in the way of min
eral specimens from that strange
country. There are moss agates as
"arge as a brick-bat , beautiful speci
mens of petrified wood ; an a ate with
a black center that glistens like a f rosl
of diamonds ; agate and crystals of
1 uarb- blended together. The gem ol
the collection is a part of a fish , potri-
licd. The sides are covered with
something like mica , that glows witl
all the colors of the rainbow.
Oregon's Oldest Pioneer-
Portland Orego&Un.
Andra Lashapello , without doub (
the oldest pioneer of Oregon , died ai
St. Vincent hospital , in this city , 01
the llth inst. At the time of his
death Laslmpcllo had resided sixty
four years in Oregon and forty years
on the the Fr6nch Prairie , lie was
born in Montreal , Canada , Aug. 14 ,
1781. Ho loft his homo in Montrea"
in March , 1817 , having hired to the
Hudson Bay Company for a term o
three years. Ho came to Oregon the
same year , arriving at the point whore
Astoria now stands. The place waf
then known as "Fort George. '
Lashapollo was first put into a black
smith shop a few days after his arriva
and worked for two years very steadiy
ly. In 1819 ho was ordered to go up
with a boat to act as guido with six
others , to bring up the express as far
as the boat encampment ( now callet
Big Bend ) and wait until the voyagers
could come from the other side of the
Kooky Mountains , and take then
down the Columbia to Fort George
That year , tm ( , hey came down the
Columbia , it waa the highest frcshe
ever known to whites or Indiana ii
Ou'gon. There were very few places
where they eould find a camping
ground. When they passed the
prairiewhoro ( Vancouver now stands
there waa ten feet of water all eve
the prairie. Ho reached Fort Georg >
safe and sound and remained there
until 1824. That year Dr. John Me
L'jughlin came as chief factor of the
Hudson Bay Company and gave
oidcr to remove all goods and mova
bio property to the place called Van
cuiiver. Lashipollo remained at tha
phico until the year 1833.
That spring ho crossed the Itockj
Mountains and wont as far as Hud
sou Bay , partly with the intontioi
of going homo to Canada ; but In
lured again , and came back to Van
couycr the same year , and rcmainci
until 1830. His thoughts were atil
of home , and ho again left with the
intention of reaching hi parcnta
roof , this time without fail. But hi
hopes were not realized. Ho wont up
the Columbia , for the second time
and went down to a Hudson Bay fort
and remained several days , wliei
wprd was sent by Dr. McLoughlin
the chief factor of the Hudson Bay
Company , to hire Lashapollo am
send him backLashapollo got bettor
wages and went back to Vancouver ,
and remained there until the year 1841.
In the spring of iliat year Lasha
polio wag loft 'at liberty to go where
no pleased. Bo lie came t'o the
Willamette Valley and was married.
Ho then settled down on a farm on
French Prairie , near St. Louis ,
Marion cotinty,0re. , anil remained on
tlio same place for forty years.

"Say , my dear , " said Mr. Spoopon-
Ivko , witii n Rocial sort of n qrin.
'how would you like to go fishing ?
"Wouldn't that bo perfectly lovo-
y ! " squealed Mrs. Spoopondyko. "I
icvor was fishing in my life , nnd I
ihvays wanted to try it. Where can
vo no ? "
"Well , there nro lota of places
around Brooklyn. Last summer I
saw boys catch a good many fish oft
'ho dock nt the foot of Stnto street ,
kVo might go there. "
"Just tlio place , " conceded Mrs.
Spoopcmlykc. "Perhaps wo can
: atch some sardines. I'll bet n spool
> f thread I got the first shad ! " nnd in
ler glee Mrs. Spoopendyko waltzed
icross the room and back again.
Mr. Spoopondyke smiled pleasantly
ipon his wife nnd started out into the
ard to got some worms , while Mrs.
Spoopondyko rigged hutsolf up for the
tending excursion.
"Got any fish-sacks ? " she nskcd , ns
Mr , Spoopondyko returned , rather
vurm from his exercise.
" 1'vo if that's
got some fishing-rods ,
vhat you moan , " replied Mr. Spoop-
3ndyko. "but I could only find four
nns.1'
'Can't wo break 'om in two ? " in
quired Mrs. Spoopondyko , anxious-
"Could if wo had n bura-saw , "
[ runted Mr Spoopondyko. "Como
ilong if you'ro coming1 ; and thor
oughly equipped for tlio expedition ,
ilr. nnd Mrs. Spoopcndyko sot out
"or the Stnto street pier.
"How long before they bite ? " nak
ed Mrs. Spoopcndyko , hoisting her
look out of the water , nnd o.xnmiu-
ng the point of n worm her husband
lad impaled thereon.
"They'll probably bite at that as
soon as they can borrow n stepladder -
dor , " retorted Mr. Spoopcndyko , eye-
ii" the dangling hook. "If you cal
culate to got any fish , you'd bettor
ot that thing down in the wator. "
"Oh ! " said Mrs. Spoopondyko ,
Iroppinc the hook. "Do you think
[ could catch n gold-fish ? " she
'nquircd , nfter n pause.
"Hi ! hold on ! " There , I lost him ! "
ejaculated Mr Spoopondyko , firing
lis hook toward the Bights.
"So did I ! " chimed Mrs. Spoopcn
dyke , ns she fell over backward and
shot her sinker in Mr. Spooppndyko's
car ; "I declare wo both lost him ? "
"What yo doing ? " demanded Mr.
poopondyke. " 'What did you lose ?
Whoa l'mpulling in fish , you just sit
still , will yo ? Think my head's n fish-
) end ? Drop it , I tell yo ! drop it in
rater. There ? Now sit still nnd fish.
Another time I'm pulling in n Spanish
uackerel , you lot them nlono. You
made mo lose that fish. "
"You ought to have caught him , "
said Mrs. Spoopondyko , soothingly ;
"you fished splendidly for him. "
"I understand the business , " re
joined Mr. Spoopondyko , somewhat
nolified. "Youseo ho didn't oven got
Lho bait , big as ho was. "
"I'm glad of that because wo'vo
only got thrco worms loft. How I'd
like to catch nn oysterl Do you know
I "
"Hist ! Sh-Ji-h-1 Qulot now ! I'vo
got him ! See mo play him ! Now.I'll
fetch him ! " nnd Mr. Spoopondyko
reeled in until ho landed an.gld boot.
"I didn't know thnt fish had burrs
on , like a chestnut , " said Mrs. Spoop
cndyko , quivering witli excitement.
"Crack him , and let's see what ho is. '
"Crack your grandmother ! " snortoc
Mr. Spoopendyko , shioing the boot up
the pier. "Ho wasn't good to eat , any <
way. I'll ' get something"
"What's the matter with my stick
Lot go , you nasty thing ! Hero is an
other ono ! Quick ! "
"Pull him in. can't yo ? You've go
a bito. Haul up ! " cried Mr. Spoopon
dyke , trying to untangle himself from
Ins line and help his wife. "Lift liin
out of the wntor ! "
"He Won't lot mo , " squeaked Mrs
Spoopendyke , holding both arms ou'
full length. "Take him off ! Scat ! Gi
'way you monster ! "
"Lift your pojo straight up in tin
air ! " shouted Mr. Spoopondyke
"Hoiat thododgastod thing right up ! '
"Mrs. Spoopondyko exerted horsol'
and disclosed an eel , dangling.
"It's rattlesnake " she
n ! yelled
"Don't go near him ! fire ! fire ! murder
police ! polico-o-o ? "
"Hold your yawp , will yor ? " "Go
him over the dock so I can catch ihiin
What yo holding him out there ) for
Waiting for him to dry _ ? Stick thn
polo straight up in the air , I tell ye ! '
Mrs. Spoopendyko threw tlio poll
over her shoulder , and flopped th
eel into Mr. Spoopendyko'H coun
tonanco.
"Dod-gast the measly col ! " lie
howled , ns ho spit it out. "Stpj
waving that alam-bastod lightninir-ro (
like a ila , will yo ? Hold it still , I
say ! Think you'ro n tree ? "
"Don't touch him ! Throw liin
overboard ! IIo'll sting you to dentil ?
gurgled Mrs. Spoopcndyko , and , for
getting that the polo still exercised ni
influence over the col , fiho gave it i
jerk , and it slipped through Mr
Spoopendyko's Jinyers. That gentle
man made u spring for it ; nnd swashed
into the water.
"Hfjii ! blab ! baa ! waggle , hie , ga ,
ganglo ! " sputtered Mr. Hpoopondyko ,
as uomo lighter-men fished him out.
' 'Did you catch cold , dear ? " inquired -
quirod Mrs. Spoopendyko , with solic
itude , as they made their way home.
"If I did I landed it , " growled Mr.
t
Spoopcndyko , blowing mud like the
exhaust of n tug.
'Anyway , I caught an col , didn't
I1 ? asked Mrs. Spoopondyko , carrying
put the woman's idea of comforting n
man with the only thing lie don't want
to hear about.
"Oh , you caught it ! " ripped out
Mr. Spoopondyko. "You'ro a fish-
woman , you nre. All you want now
is some glass sides and some bubbles
running through you to bo an aquari
um ! Another time wo both go fishing ,
you stay nt homo. You hear ? "
And with this novel mathematical
suggestion Mr , Spoopondyko hunted
himself to his domicile
and took u rum
sweat.
