A Liberal Insurance Company Pays the Best.
The Equitable Life Assurance Society of
Now York is the company that so promptly
paid its policy on tho life of the late Colonel
Walton Dwight, of Binghamton. A due re-
gard for the rights Of policy holders has always
its management, tho results of
which show that such disposition is profitable
as we'll as honorable The dividends on its
earlier Tontine policies arc now being paid
and are simply enormous The PREMIUM for
example, on policy No. 1876 (only in force
nine yearsl Is reduced IS per cent. this wear.

Good-byo to the Mutusrs New Plan.

At last the policy holders seem to have
secured some action in their favor from the
trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York The "rebate" plan of doing
business has received its quietus. A plan
which appears on its face to reduce premiums
10 per cent. is adopted Old policy holders
seem disposed to question the ability of the
company to carry this plan out successfully.
Experience with two plans of the Mutual,
which have both failed, leads them to look on
the new one with suspicion.

Removal of Keeper Recommended.
The commission appointed by the Treasury
Department, which recently made an investi.
CATION into the management of life.saving sta
ton No. G, Deal Beach, have submitted their
report to the General Superintendent Of the
I.ife-Saving Service, and the latter officer has
submitted it in turn to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Tho commission recommend the
removal of the present keeper, whom they
deem lac king in essential qualifications for the
position, aud recommend the appointment Of
John Socum whom their investigation leads
them to regard, all things considered, rs the
most suitable person in the vicinity for the
post of keeper. They say she stands without
a superior, and with but few equals as surf
man and has proved himself both brave and
efficient on many occasions" The Secretary
has directed the removal OF the present keeper
accordingly. and instructed Superintendent
Ravens to nominate a successor, informing him
Of the recommendation Of the commission.
BEsTOwAL OF MEDALS
Complaints are in circulation among the
Western papers that acts of heroism in saving
life upon the lakes are never recognized by
the medals of the Life-SaYng Service. The
facts are that of the twenty-five medals which
have been awarded In this country since the
passage of the act of 1874 authorizing them, ten
have been awarded to persons on the lakes
The report probably arises from the delay in
the contemplated bestowal of medals for GER
tain acts of heroislh in saving life upon the
lake coast last autumn, which Is owing to
the necessity Of accommodating the requisite
formal evidence in the several cases re quired
by law to be on file in the DGpar tment be-
fore the awards can be made.
