Durcn under the head Of disturbing Statements
about the lEt,sa Llfe-1osura,,ce Company, or

We think tic Judge should not complain
about thu largo surplus which the lEtna has
ready for emergencies. A Chicago man, above
all others, las Ind un opportunity to feo that itl-
any tlnlc tu meet extraordinary dcn,a.uIs, wien
1t will be not only desirable but necessary to

surplus Ii thu !,ropertY Ut tho fnsnrcd, but tltu

eats of lll nro hest scrycd by nut dividing tic
"mnrtality gains."
We are quite sure tho Judge will aErco wish
