INSURANCE.

The New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

American life insurance was in its veriest infancy
when the New England Mutual Life, of Boston, was
organized on Dec, 1, 1913, under charter granted
April l. 1885. Nearly third of a century ago it be-
gan business, when the circumstances of American
life were far different than at present, when life
insurance had received comparatively little study and
was but slightly understood, and when there existed
little promise of the business ever attaining the
magnitude and Importance which almost single COM
panles have since attained. The charter of the COM
pany required guarantee capital of 100000 fifty
per cent OF which should be paid in in cash, and it
was not until Feb. 1, that the company, organized
the preceding LIST of December, had received this
amount, fixed its rates OF premium, determined CT
its forms of policy and completed such other pre-
liminaries as necessarily preceded the beginning of
business. When business did begin, it was with
Willard Phillips as president, Jonathan Amory as
secretary, and George Hayward, NJ. D., as medical
examiner. As there have been, since the organiza-
ton of the company but few official changes, it may
be well to present here in succnct form exhibit
of the succession Of officers and the term each has
served

Condensed as these exhibits are, they give quite
clear idea of the vast aggregate transactions of the
company during the third of century it has been in
operation. There are, however, many paints which
cannot be given in a synopsis like the above. Thus,
while the aggregate receipts from policy-holders is
shown there is not given the aggregate returned to
them. More concsely still, the results to policy
holders is as fOllows:-
Amount received from policy-holders by
Ine GTm % csses maid 60 III a,1
Amount OF dividends apportioned 6,194,290
Amount paid for surrenders, etc. 4,577,427
Excess of premium receipts. ........, 10,4S6, 031
Assets Dec. 81 ls'o....... l4,3o1eZ9
E2CeSS Oh AsbeIS. So,otl $40
That is, including what ofassets the company now
has hand, all of which belong to the poliey-hold
ers, the companys transactions have Melted the pol
icy-holders nearly $4,OO0,OO0 more than they have
paid into its treasury and there still outstanding
contracts for furnishing nearly $6l,OO0cO0 more Of
insurance.
We find the career of the New England Mutual
unmarked by that eagerness for business at any cost
which is the characteristic of many companies.
Indeed it is doubtful if there is another company in
the country equally conservative. With business
sufficiently large to give element of certainty to
all its transactions its officers have for several years
past devoted their efforts to the furtherance OF the
interest of the present membership rather than to
the procuring OF new business. Such business as
comes to them at legitimate cost they are willing to
accepts such as will not at legitimate cost they
still more willing to let go elsewhere. Such Is
the policy the management has selected after due
deberation and the exhibit set forth above is far
from one upon which serious objection thereto could
be founded. noy4d2tS&wIt

Silver Wanted.

After all that has been said about the
son why it. should be demonetized, it
has not ceased to be "precious" metal.
The price at which silver is now quoted
even in England, where it has long been
demonetized, is about two per cent.
above gold; that is to say, with gold as
the standard, silver is about two per
cent above par.
The United States mints are also call
at g small premium payable in gold
coin, as appears from the following or
der Issued by the Treasury Department
on the 18th of the present month:
"Until further notice silver bullion in
the form of fine or impaired bars, for
eign coin, amalgam plate, &C., will be
purchased at the mints of the United
States at Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Carson, and the assay office at New
York. The purchasing rate will be 1Ol
cents per standard ounce at Philadel-
phia, San Francisco and New York, and
one hundred and one-half cents at Car
son, payable in United States gold coin
on determination OF value by mint as
say, the seller paying the mint charges
for melting, refining and parting con-
formally to law and regulations"
We think it would not be difficult to
show that, within the quarter of CEN
tury last past, the fluctuations in the
value of gold have been greater than of
silver. With the discovery of the gold
deposites of California and Australia,
the value Of gold materially declined
In other words, the price of all commod
tiles purchasable with gold materially ad.
vanced, and became dearer as compared
with gold, which had become cheaper.
But silver did not materially change.
And then again, as movements for de-
monetizing silver came to be agitated,
yold rose rapidly in value, once more
luctuating to meet the forthcoming

THE DYNAMITE DOINGS Of yesterday in
knocking the locks off from He'll Gate
were complete success, at least so far
as spresent manifestations are concerned.
1t was not at all unnatural OF absurd
that feeling Of dread should have per-
Vaded the public mind as to the conse-
quences of setting off that 'InfernaP
blast. The power of the explosive ele-
ments there congregated was some
thing really fearful to contemplate.
Never before 'on the face of the globe
had the hand OF man collected at one
point such terrible array of dynamic
force for practical use as yesterdays
occasion exhibited. And it is a crown
ing achievement in Engineering Science
that all mischievou5 results were Sc per-
fectly calculated and guarded against,
and at the same time that all useful re-
suits were SO perfectly secured.
General Newton can now have rest
from the necessary anxieties that must
have attended task surrounded with
such grave responsibilities and most Sc.
rious dangers. 1t is an example to the
world of the complete mastery Of science,
applied by master mind, over the
most frightful powers that science
has yet discovered in the elements
of nature; and can not fail tc
bring renown to the accomplished
Engineer himself, as well as to confer
credit upon his country. OF course il
will require some little time to explore
the shattered reef and determine the
exact extent Of the demolition the
gigantic powers of Dynamite have ac-
complished in bursting its way from
its rock-ribbed dungeon.

Another New York CORES pondent has
been trying to analyze Jay Gould, with
the following result: "While the man
does not appear selfish, there is an ab-
sence Of all sympathy. When he speaks
his voice is very low, and not devoid OF
sweetness. His manners are OF the
quietest, and his general outgiving,
0mitting the affecLionate element, is al
most feminine. What is understoo as
the moral, seems omitted in him. He
impresses one as an intellectual force,
TOO intelligent TO hate, and TOO thought
Jul to love. He scarcely ever smiles,
and he never employs superhuous
word, or lifts his voice above a common
conversational key. He appears to be
Il man whom nothing could excite, and
one Of his brokers says you never can
tell from his expression when he reads
telegram whether he has made five
millions or lost ten."

IT becomes manifest from the tenor of
our foreign dispatches that the war be-
tween Turkey and Servia is to be prose.
cuted with renewed vigor on the part OF
the Servians. The conduct of the war,
SO far as command in the field is con-
Cerned, has apparently been taken
from Servian hands and is
now controlled by Russian Off
GERS and troops. One whole legior
has recently arrived at Belgrade from
Moscow, and the troops are taking the
field with fierce determination to drive
the Turks from the valley of the Dan
ube. Peace seems to be as far from
being secured as ever. We shall prob
ably soon hear of stirring events in that
part OF the world.
