A Million on I. Iff.
The greatest achievement in the his
tory of life insurance has been mado by
Mr. John Wanamaker, who is now pay
ing premiums 0:1 1. 000. 000 to twenty
nine different companies, The last
IKliey issued on iis life was received by
h";tn tho other day. and so far as is known
there is no. other man in the world whose
life is insured for such an enormous
amount. There are a number of men in
this city who have been trying for years
to achievo the point just gained by Mr.
Wanamaker, but they have so far failed,
although John B. Stetson, the hat manu
facturer, has succeeded in getting poli
cies on his life amounting to $750,000.
He is desirous of putting the amount Up
to a round million.
The risks 011 Mr, Wanamaker xs life are
divided equally into life and fifteen year
endow ments, and he pays over 00,000
annually in premiums to the different
companies in which his risks are placed.
In the matter of paying premiums he is
outdone by Mr. Stetson, who pays .$S5,
0C0 in the same length of time, but the
difference is accounted for by the fact
that besides paying the premiums on the
risks on his own life, he also, pays those
on the lives of his business manager and
his son-in-law, both of whom he has in
sured for. $100,000 each, besides holding
policies for large amounts on other peo
ple's lives, Should Mr. Wanamakc-r al
low the annual dividends to go uncol
lected until the risks on his life expire he
will be entitled to about $1,400,000.
There are three companies which carry
premiums of $100,000 each on his life.
But Mr. Wanamaker is not the only man
in this city upon whose life big risks are
issued. George Chiids is insured for
$100,000, and so, ' is. Wharton Barker.
Hamilton Disston is insured for about
$150,000. J. G. Darlington is insured
for one-tenth of a million, and his part

office. The old custom is still kept up
in the town of Worcester, England,
where the mayor's wife, having had. a
child born unto her, was a few weeks,
ago presented by the corporation with
tha traditional silver cradle. It was ia the
torn ot a dish for fruit or flowers. On
each side were cut glass dishes, betweea

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed ty the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currenca more probable in 1SS8.
