STATEMENT.

The undersigned. a Committee o!
Directors of the Equitable Life Assur-
alec Society of The United States, APP
| pointed 10 formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by
the Society to the public, report:
| LIST. The Society issues ali the APP
proved forms of assurance, including
Ordinary Life, Endowment, and Ton
tine policies. 1t is immaterial to the
Directors which form of policy i TAX

I'd. The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide tor annual cash div
| idends and surrender value: are in
disputable after three years, and pay
able Immediately after proof of death.
Sd The premiums on "A Tontlne
| policy are the same as on the Ordina
| nv Life. but, while the latter is ouiy
PAYABLE in the even. of death, the hold
er of the Tontine policy has the right
| to draw the whole of the reserve and
the accumulated 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 an ordinary pol
lev, secure these GREATER advantages.
4th. Experience has shown that the
return paid in cash on maturing Ton
tine policies approximates TO, or cx-
cecds the amount of premiums paid by
policy holders, so that the average cost
of the assurance will be only about the
interest Oh the premiums.
9Th. The Tontine policies, like 9TH
ers, are paid in full in the event of
death AT any time during the term of
the policy, and are incontestable after
three years, ana payable Immediately
after due proof of death.
9th. Experience shows that the NOR
tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurance, which is n consider
able source of profit.
9TH. Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State. if so desired al the time the as
surance is effected.
Sth. The Tontinc system is fair and
Just; its accounts are accurately kept.
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and i'm

Emigrant trains from the East, says
the Winnemucca Silver State, usually
remain here about two hours in the
middle of the day. As there are a
great many going West on those
trains, they generally make it lively
about the depot while they remain.
Yesterday gray-haired individual
in semi clerical garb, and said to be
a member Of the Salvation Army,
took position in front of the Neva-
da saloon, and began to fire hot shot
into the crowd of sinners which soon
congregated around him. He told
them to repent or they would be dam
ned. He made a special target Of an
individual who was 'sthree sheets in
the wind" and stood right in front of
him, and as he had good lungs and no
impeachment in his speech, he pictured
the future condition of unrepentant
sinners in warm colors. About the
time he got well under way, however,
a fiddler, who was also an emigrant,
| took a position near the Depot House
and struck up the DOG in the Rye
Patch" in such lively style that a
bull whacker, who had been violating
the anti-treating law with two or
three companions, could not resist the
temptation to beat time on the planks
to the music. This proved more at
tractive than the Salvationist's appeal
to sinners, and the crowd began to
cross the street to the fiddler. At this
Juncture the hat was passed around,
and acted as repellant, and the Sal
vationist, seeing his audience follow
the ways of the world and risk theil
future welfare for present enjoyments
brought his exhortations to close
with a special appeal to John Boyd
(kettle Belly Tom, formerly of Tus.
carora), who listened to him atten.
lively from first to last.

Russian censors Of press dispatches

to suppress the fact that notw'1n-

At the banquet of the National Club

responded to by Beaugraud, Mayor
of Montreal. About $50 guests were
present, among whom were number
of members of the Provincial Parlla-
ment. The toast ''To the Queen"
was drunk in silence, while that "To
Canadian Independence" was receiv-
ed with wild enthusiasm. Six May
ors of the cities in the Province re-

denial to the assertion made by the
opposition and the English press, that
there were no men Of prominence in

In an article in the Popular Science for
May upon the cholera and it's probable appear
ance in this country, DR.. Max Won Petten-
kofer says
1--WE have not at our command a simple and
sovereign remedy by means Of which the in
dividual predisposition to cholera may be done
away with, and yet we can do something i'll
this direction. Everything which tends to
lower the general health and cause depression
but especially those conditions which induce
diarrhea, predisposes to cholera. To these
matters every one must look for himself, and
his own efforts may be aided by the advice of
doctors. The organs of public health may
also effect much Medical treatment should
be obtained for the earliest cases of cholera
and of diarrhea. Care must be taken by the
authorities and by the community to take
measures for the treatment of the sick. But the
difficult point in the prevention of cholera is
the predisposition in time and place It is no
use urging as the contagionists do,
that we can not change the nature
of the soil. One of the established facts con-
corning epidemics of cholera is the tendency
of the disease to rage in those quarters where
the greatest filth prevails. All towns which
have been provided with good drainage and
water-supply have lost their susceptibility to
cholera. England alIordS the Oest example Oh
this fact. In 1S49 there were recorded So, 237
deaths from cholera, in 1854 the numbers
were 2O,097, and in 1866 only ID, 378, while
from 1872 to 1874, when several epidemics
prevailed on the continent, cholera did not
reach England. 1 do not imagine that this
immunity was due to the want of predisposi-
ton to cholera as regards conditions of time.
The case of Fort William in Calcutta may be
again referred to, as there, believe, the i'm
munity from cholera now enjoyed was due
not merely to the introduction of a better sup
ply of water, but largely also, to the i'm
provement in the other matters of hygiene.

MAJOR STERNBERG, of the United States
army, detailed to investigate causes Of disease
at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, de-
clares that pneumonia is simply the failure
of the system to resist the ravages of micro
cocci, sort OF vegetable-fungus growth that
exists in healthy human saliva The micro
coccus, as the name indicates, is very minute
something that just now serves as hiding
place for every scientific man run to earth in
the vain endeayor to find new explanations
for old complaints. Let the Major discover
some kind of micrococcicide that will not in
5ure the human system, and he will win a
monument that will never perish.

grace, and could only have been enacted by a
company of beetle-browed bruisers and bum
mers, such as filled the Hobbies of the Legisla-
