. Policies Issued as Good as
any United States Bonds.

The Brooklyn Life is the only Company in
the country which guarantees a definite sur
render-value to every policy on which two or
more annual premiums have been paid; this
amount, in dollars and cents, is Endorsed on
every policy issued. Should any policy-holder
become unable to pay his premiums, he can
thus know the cash worth of the policy at
any time after two annual premiums have
been paid.
This certainly is the greatest Inducement
and most tangible advantage ever accorded
to parties insuring their lives.
Dividends annually latter second Year, in
cash. .# #.r--. ID.
Dividends are divided on the Contribution Plan
the only equitable manner of dividing the earnings
of Lite Insurance Company. The Contribution
Plan was first conceived by Mr.. D. P. Fackler, now
Actuary of this Company, and has been adopted by
most of the est-managed Life Companies IN this
country.
The Brooklyn Life has paid and now paws
to its Policy holders larger Dividends than
ever before paid by Life Insurance Compa-
ny!
The BROOKLYN LIFE, unlike some of
the so-called Mutuals, pays no percentages or
largesses TO either Directors or officers; Meth
er can it afford to spend thousands upon
thousands of dollars, belonging properly to
the Policy-holders, IN misrepresenting and
advertising false statements concerning other
corporations, as is now being done by certain
so-caled Mutuals. The management of The
BROOKLYN LIFE is open, candid, econom-
ical, AMI prudent; no one man power, as in
the so-called Mutuals, but Closely scrutinized
by careful, experienced, and reputable bust
ness gentlemen, who have received but an
equitable interest on their capital invested.
By its care, skill, prudence, and economy the
BROOKLYN LIFE, as Mixed Company
has fully exemplified the words of the Hon.
William Barnes, Insurance Superintendent of
the State of New York, who sustains # in his
Report for 1858 in the following language, to
wit:
''Et does not always follow, as Is
sometimes supposed, that a purely
Mutual Company is the most prof
liable one to the insured; Mixed
Companies. or those substantially
Mutual, may, by superior skill and
other advantages, actually make
the largest dividends of surplus
profits to pOlicy-hOlders.'-Pag &c,
New York Insurance Report for 1858.
In the BROOKLYN life no
POlfcy-hOlder can ever be assessed
for any loss or deficiency---in Mu-
tuals the POlicy-holders alone are
responsible.
The success which the "BROOKLYN" has achiey-
ed, fully exemphded in its rapid and healthtul
growth, is convincing proof OF the confidence re-
posed by the public in its soundness, integrity, and
hberality.

A Criminal Judge.

The Memphis Aralanchs publishes sworn
statement from @. @. Blake, probate Judge
Mercer county, Ohio, relative to the charac-
ter of VIM. Hunter, the Radical Judge OF
the Criminal Court of Memphis. The fol-
lowing charge occurs in the statement;
He (Hunter) came to Mercer county, Ohio,
about the year ls47. He professed to be a
Democrat, and acted with that party lie
gained the confidence of the people of this
county TO such an extent that in 1851 they
elected him Treasurer of the county, and in
1883 he was re elected. Soon after bis re-
election he was suspected OF being de-
faulter, and at the June session of the county
Commissioners an investigation was had, and
he was found to be in arrears TO the amount
OF six thousand one hundred and eight dol
lars and seventy -eight cent? ($G,l0s 7s).-
This amount he left for his bal to pay. lie
has never even offered to refund his bail any
portion of the amount paid by them for hls
defacation. His bondsmen were not only
his political but personal friends.
