of deceased policy holders having being paid
the face value of their policies. The Tontin,
method increases the risk because it with
holds surrender value and increases thu
original rate of investment because i
reserves all dividends and profits until the
expiration of the Tontine limit.
The Semi Tontine method only differs
from the Tontine in that it affords the
surrender value, which reduces its profits
about ten per cent. If one takes an ordi
nary life or endowment policy he gets it OIL
the lowest present rate of investment be

annual dividends II he combines with il
the Tontine feature he raises the present
rate Of investment to secure an ultimate low
rate of investment, by waving surrender
value and all dividends until the expiration
of tho Tontine limit. With the Semi Ton.
tine feature he secures the same result by
waving annual dividends alone. Each form
of insurance has its advantages for certain
investors depending upon their means
and prospects,
For the poor the ordinary life plan is the
best, for the independent and rich the
ordinary and limited life and endowment,
plans with full Tontine features are prefea-
Die. For the moderate investor the ordinary
Life and Endowment Insurance with the
Semi Tontine privilege are most attractive.
The profits are enormously increased BY the
Tontine feature, and as the Semi-TOntine
gives a surrender value at q diminished
profit Of only ten per cent il is greatly
preferred By persons Of moderate means,
who fear the possibility Of forfeiture under

breast-gathered at an early hour to
witness the send-cf aud lend eclat
to the occasion. The trap perform
ance was executed with exact nicely,
and went off with the precision Of
clock work. Rose, the chiet figure
and center Of attraction, harrangued
the crowd for over two hours, detail
ing at length the part enacted by
him in the dastardly and cowardly
assassination Of poor, erring Demp-
sey Taylor. Time, space aud incli-

any possibility they can help it
A hardship on the tax payers, who
keep up not only the machinery OF

Some Frightened Boilers.

According to some authorities, the first
political panic Of this campaign has come.
and, strange to say, 1t has come upon the
Prohibitionists. They begin to fear they
may be successful.
A great many Democratic Republican bolt
ers had made arrangement with their former
convictions to shake hands In November over
the bosom OF Gov. ST. JOHN. But they have
come In such crowds, and the cause has re-
ceived such an impetus from the reported
adherence Of Mr.. CoNKLINo, that the ma
jority OF the new disciples, who were voting
on pure theory. are terrified In mind and
chilled In heart at the terrible prospect
of carrying the country for temperance
What vast crowd Of fresh voters on
"moral principles only" would say then.
"Well, this Is go!' We are told thatilnder
tho present political outlook all recruiting
for the ST. JOHN ranks has stopped. and that
the suddenly swollen temperance party will
promptly return to Its original dimensions
unless the new recruits become satisfied that
there Is no hope for ST. JOHN. Nothing would
give them greater pleasure than to vote for
him. but, as to electing him, Oh, No.
Tho next question Is, What will the orig
inal sure-enough Prohibitionists do2 viii
they try to allay the anxiety Of their fearful
allies. or will they Brighten them away for
good by too great . show Of confidence
Even the Prohibitionists have their troubles.
