STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, n Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, E dowment and Tontine pc.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by In.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperiencc shows that the return
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experiencc shows that the NOR
tally is lower among Tontlne policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind Of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
sUrance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; tho
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoitioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the irst half
of the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0O0,0O0; over $l4, 0OO,-

"AS on hand and for sale various
Ill sized surf boats, constructed on
an improved principle of my own in

across the keel. The frames are closer
together, and the boats are therefore
lighter and less liable to bilge in, than
boats of any other build. Each side

ATTEX II0N FlRMERS-

After considerable discussion Of the
CREAMERY question; 1t Is deemed to
be the wish OF all to call meeting of
Farmers and have the question under
stood: and if 1t is tne wish of the enter
prlsing farmers, to form a Creamery
company, to do SO at an early date.
The Creameries all over the country
are reported to pay the stockholders
good per cent and the farmers max
ing money very easily.
The great uncertainty of the hogs
and corn should induce US to raise
more grass and cattle with less work
and greater profit in a Creamery.
We the undersigned would invite all
persons who teel an interst in the en-
terprise, to meet US at Wiliamstown,
Mo, on Saturday, June IS, at O'Clock
for the purpose of taking such action
as may be thought best.

W0meH'S Slippers.


A gentleman who had Travelled a
great deal and spent some years in
England was speaking Of English wo-
men, and expiated, as usual, on their
good health as compared with Amer
ican women, and the long walks they
took. and finished with the remark" But
the English women never wear their
thick shoes in the house; they always
change and put on slippers" This
idea seems to prevail to great extent
among Am eriCan women also, that it
is the proper thing to wear slippers in
the house. This may do for those who
live in houses kept at a summer heat
at all times, and never go out except
when attired for visiting. shopping, or
something of the kind. 1t is also re-
lief to the weary housekeeper who has
been on her feet all day, to sit down
in the evening with her slippers on
But the practice of wearing slippers
in the morning, when one is liable to
be called on the steps out doors al
any moment while the grass is wet with
dew, is productive of wet feet, which
inits turn is one of the most fruitful
causes of colds and all the evils that fol
low in their train. In the fall and win.
ter months, too, the floors are cold in
the morning and good thick-soled
shoe is much more comfortable than
a low-cut slipper, even though the lat.
ter may appear little more easily and
quickly put on than shoe may per.
haps be one reason for prefering them
but that should not be considered fol-
a moment.
We are not speaking of the wear Of
slippers during the hot and sultry
months OF summer, but the common
practice among women OF wearing
them exclusively around the house
Men are fond of donning the dressing

That strawberry Patch.
Altoona, a., ,edex ofJune Gth, Is


A number of items have been pub
lished in the press in regard to DR.. ].
K. Webster & Sons, famous straw
berry patch at this place. Some of
the statements were absurdly incorrect.
and others located the doctor anywhere
but in the right place. We give the
following figures, obtained by DR..
Webster himself and they may be re-
lied upon as correct. The gronnd cul-
tivated to strawberries Is just 9-16th of
an acre. There were picked this season
$500 quarts, or 100 bushels, which at
the same ratio would make the yield
of full acre 195 bushels. Berries were
picked early in January for family use,
and have been used daily ever since,
but the first shipments were made in
February, when they netted him about
IS cts a quart; during March the same,
in April the price dropped to 5octs.
per. quart, and during May to IS and
10 cts. Recently the local markets
have been supplied at Is cts. DR..
Webster estimates that an acre pro-
perry handled, and on suitable grouud
could be made to net the owner one
thousand dollars. With better facilities
for rapid shipment, in refrigerator cars,
and such other conveniences as time
Will doubtless develop IN this section,
an acre could be made to net the
owner 500 In addition to raising
straw berries. DR.. Webster & Son have
raised large amount of other pro-.
duce, and have growing on their place,
mlllet, rice, tomatoes, cabbage, peas,
beans etc. and have been building a
commodious residence, which is now
nearly completed. 1t is needless to
add there has been little loaing about
or fishing" during the past twelve
months. As an example of what can
be done in Florida by intelligent, and
well directed labor, the above is in
valuable. People visiting this section
of Florida are invited to stop and see
for themselves.
Parties desiring further information
in'regard to this section of Florida are
invited to correspond with Gill &

The wheat Crop.
Quincy Wing.

The growing wheat crop having
reached critical stage; and winter
wheat having approached a condition
sufficiently near maturity TO approxi-
mate the acreage and probable yield,
The farmers Review, Of Chicago, has
followed up its usual weekly summary
by complete survey of all TIE Western
and Southern wheat growing States,
reports having been received from
over 5000 correspondents, covering
every wheat producing county In ONO,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Kentuckey,
Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Dakota, together with very accurate
and recent summary from the Paclhc
coast region, made by the Associated
Press, which, it is believed, makes the
most complete report ever issued. The
Reviews reports have been carefully
prepared and the information Is bellev-
ed to be the most exhaustive and the
latest that has yet been obtained, and
foreshadows the State and Government
reports.
From a computation. and taking the
most cheerful view of the situation, the
winter wheat for the present year will
not exceed 100000, 900 bushels. and
the absolute percentages from the most
trustworthy sources indicate that
the yield will fallSomewhat under
rather than over the figures given. Ad-
ding coast yield, at the highest estl-
mate 10000 900, and the yield of the
country can not exceed 10000, ,ooo
against 474, 900, 900 last year. From
the reports it appears that in Illinois
S. per cent of the entire wheat crop ot
the State has beer plowed up, and
more would have been plowed had not
the ground been sown to clover
and grass. A verv large proportion oI
the wheat that is heading proves to be

ern Illinois this year. -Four entire
Counties in the Central and Southern
tier have been plowed up, and in eight
other Counties the crop is reported an
entire failure. The average condition
of all the Counties of the State does
not exceed 40 per cent of the yield o.
1884. based upon the fields not yet
plowed up.

The Missouri Wool growers Asso-
clation, will hold its Annual Meeting
and Election at Sedalla, on June II,
inst.
~ large attendance should be had
and men should come prepared to
work. In 1884 Missouri had $4,000

the depression in 1884, these grand
locks were reduced 10 per cent in

early as January of the current year.
So alarming waste certainly demands
attention and would seem that out oi

The Custer Statue Torn Down.
New York Sun.

New ork Sun.
The story OF the removal of the
Custer statue from West Point is very
curious. This, it is SAID, is the first time
4 public statue has been taken down
and concealed from sight in conse-
quence of objections based upon artis-
tic consideration.
No, long after the gallant general
perlshed in the Indian fight on the Lit
tie Big Hora subscription was start
ed to pay for statue of him to be
erected at West Point, About $1,000
was raised and placed in the care of
Mr.. A. s. Sullivan, MIR. Thurlow Weed
and Gen. Hancock as a committee to
choose an artist and to attend to the
erection of the statue. Mrs. Cust-r
was greatly pleased at the spontane-
Gus nature OF the undertaking. In
order that the statue might be true
likness of her husband, size prepared
to place his photographs, as well as his
uniform and arms, in the hands of
the artist, and to give him such iEfor-
nation as would aid him in his work.
In the mean tine J. w. MacDonold,
sculptor of this city, made model
of the statue, without consulting Mrs.
Custer or obtaining from her the ma
terials which she had prepared for the
execution of the work The fund that
had been raised was placed at his DIS
posal, and he completed the statue.
Mrs. Custer, it appears, knew moth
ing of all this until the monument was
ready to be unveiled. and she received
an invitation to-. be present at the GER
emony. Her qualification at the speedy
consumation OF the work was quickly
changed to disgust and indignation
when she saw a cut of the statue. 1t
represented her husband in a long
talled-coat and troopers boots, with
sword in one hand and revolver IN the
other, suggesting by his attitude and
general appearance dlmenovel hero
engaged in his favorite amusement OF
slaughtering redskins. TIE real
characteristics of the daShlng General,
it is said, had been entirely missed or
ignored.
Mrs. Custer endeavored to prevent
the erection of the statue, but in
vain. After it had been unveiled
some of Clusters brother officers wrote
to her protesting against the work as
an insult to her husbands memory.
This strengthened her resolution not
to let it stand and she appealed to
Secretary Lincoln. Believing that she
had accomplished her object she went
to Europe, but on her return found the
offensive statue still standing on the
West Point bluff. Not disheartened
by the assurance of some Of her
friends that it was much harder to get
rid of statue than to have one erect
ed, she renewed her application to the
Secretary of War. He told her the
statue would be taken down if she OBJ
tanned the consent of the chief subscri-
bers. This she did, and the statue
has been pulled from its pedestal,
boxed UP, and thrown among lot of
rubbish in storage building at west
