New YORK. Jsnuary Is. 1885.


While few Of the great insarsucc
companies doing business on the tom
tine plan have held and still hold
strong position in public esteem, the
annual report just issued Of The Mutual
Reservc-Fund Life Association shows
that in this notable instance the assess
ment plan oflife-insurance has brought .
one company to the front rank among
the hfe-insurancc companies OF the
world. Mr.. L. B. Harper, its presi-
dent, presented in his report strong
array Of remarkable facts, which are
briefly summarized as follows:
The new business of the past year
was close on $40. .000. 900. The amount
for the four years Of the company's ex-
istence is sll3,000, 900, and during
that period $1,000 persons have been
admitted to membership.
Every claim against the company has
been promptly settled. During 1884
half a million of dollars were paid to
widows and orphans, and the six mortu-
ary calls made by the Association du-
ring the same period produced s622,-
600.
A single call brings in si30,00O
cash. Within the year a saving OF
sl,50O.0OO. or $4,000 per day, has
been effected, as compared with the
old system of insurance and that of the
Mutual Reserve-Fund Association. In
the course of his report President Har-
per called attention TO the fact that he
had accepted Office only on condition
that he be empowered to carry out
certain strong leading principles OF
life insurance formulated by him.
The company's position to-day settles
any question as to the soundness OF
those principles.
At the annual dinner Of the company
at Delmonico's two hundred guests
were present, including representative
men from nearly every State in the
Union. Congratulatory speeches were
made by Governor Rice, of Maine (;
Hon. Henry l.. Lamb, bank superintend-
ent; John j. Acker, Of Albany;
Colonel G.. +. Potter, Of New York,
and others. Among the Canadian re-
representatives. present were Hon. j. Is.
Robinson. Lieutenant-Governor OF
Canada; Hon. j. c. 5. Wortele, Finan-
cial Minister of Quebec, and Hon. X.
NJ. Wells, member of the Parliament Of
Toronto.
The members Of the Mutual Reserve
Fund Association have had TO pay for
their life-insurance but about one
third the usual rates charged by the
old stock companies. The company's
business grows enormously. During
the first fifteen days of the present
month it exceeded s3.500,000. an in
crease of s2,000,000 over the same
period in 1884.

GROWING ABOUT GAS.
Big Bin Against the state for Gas at the
Capitoi Refused 30 BE- Paid.


There has been general complaint
among all classes of consumers of gas
about the increase in gas-bills for the
last two months. Complainants would
go into the Office Of the inspector Of
gas at the City Hall and ask for expla-
nations. They would be courteously
received, and given the invariable an
swer that the increase in price was
caused by the increase Of pressure made
by the introduction of the new and
large gas-mains. Consumers were ad-
vised TO lower the pressure, and in
formed that this would cause reduc-
ton in the number of feet of gas con-
sumed.
Yesterday the bill of the city for gas
consumed in the Capitol and at the
Governors house for the quarter end
ing on the Goth of January was sent TO
Mr.. Andrew Wingfeld, Superin-
tendent Of Public Grounds and Build
ings and Register of the Land Office.
To his astonishment he found that the
bill largely overtOpped any that the
State had ever paid, even in 1880, when
the Legislature held sessions all night,
and when every gas-burner in the Capt.
tol was going at full blaze for weeks.
Mr.. Wingheld looked up the bill
for the quarter ending July Goth of
last year, and found that it amounted
TO 1921. The bill handed in for the
quarter ending Goth of January of this
year was for s603.20. Mr.. Wing
field sent the bill over to the Governor,
and it was returned by his Excellency
with instructions to place it in an en-
velope and put among other bills marked
unpaid and which will be presented
to the Legislature for action at its next
meeting.

4 GLAZING WRONG.
Mr.. Powderly spoke in favor Of pop
ular education. and saw in it the coun-
try's safeguard.
He protested against the acquisition
of large bodies of American lands by
British and German noblemen or mo-
nopolists and by railroad corporations.
This he called "a glaring wrong -; and
he did not doubt that if the working
men acted wisely that this unhappy
grasp would be broken"
Talking about the congressional reso-
lutions with reference to the London
explosions, Mr.. Powderly said that
he had no sympathy with dynamiters,
but that congressman had better show
their sympathy with people at home"
THE CoLoRED BROTHER.
Mr.. Powderly said that he recognized
the fact that there are two kinds Of
laboring-men in the South. He did not
expect the black men to be received
into the homes Of the white men, but
when their labor is exactly alike-when
their productions are such that no man
can tell the difference in the work
then they ought to have equal wages.
He asked the two races to stand side by
side, "to the end that wages shall not
drop"
There were a considerable number Of
eolored men gathered in one corner Of
The hall, and they, with the hundreds
of whites present, seemed equally well
satisfied with the manner in which NJ.

there had been some mistake about the

Sailors Strange Costumes.

"Talk about strange costumes" said
the mate of a steamship to New York
Trijuno reporter recently; "thc way some
of the crew of deep water vessel will
get themselves up occasionally is eau
ton. | remember once in my younger
DAYS. when | was before the mast on the
ship Colby, bound round the Horn, that
there was an old salt named Bill Rice,
who considered himself what would be
called 4 nautical duck in these days. lie
had been on a ship running from Liver
pool out to the African coast before join
ing the Colby, and an Englishman who
had gone out as passenger IN her mad
given him on leaving the ship an old
dress coat, striped waistcoat, stove
pipe hat, and a pair of loud checked
trousers. 'Bill' considered this outfit the
acme Of fashionable attire, and every
Sunday when he took his trick at the
wheel he would rig himself out in the
'duds, stovepipe hat included, and
stand up there as proud as a peacock and
as solemn as an owl. 1t was the most
comical sight | ever saw, the effect being
! heightened by the fact that the clothes
! did not fit, and the hat was size too
large.
"Once when I was on a Rio steamer
we shipped man whose entire outfit con
sisted Of a pair of rubber boots and a
pair of dilapidated trousers, bright red
flannel shirt, and white helmet hat.
He looked like disconnected rainbow
as he moved about the decks, and the
passengers were never tired of watching
the white helmet and the red shirt. Iou
have, of course, heard the story Of the
landsman who shipped before the mast
and, fearing rain, took an umbrella witt
him! Never heard it, Well | don
vouch for its accuracy, but the story goe
that when the mate called all hands t(
shorten sail ore rainy day, the landsmar
turned out wearing a rubber coat ant
carving his umbrella. The captain saw
it from the quarter deck, and, running
forward with a howl of rage, came
down with his whole weight on the UNI
breila, crushed it into a shapeess mass
and threw it overheard, after which h
chased the terrified landsman up the rig
ging with a Delaying pin.

Cost Him the Senatorsiip.

Hannibal Hamlin tells that when he
was speaker of the lower house OF the
Maine legislature, there was among the
members very danditied old fellow
whose chief weakness was in trying to
conceal the badness which was rapidly
stealing over his head. lie came into
the house each morning with his hair so
carefully combed that it looked as though
each particular hair had been pasted IN
its place. Even as it was, there were
scarcely enough to cover the bald spot.
One morning Speaker Hamlim, thinking
to have some fun, called this gentleman
to him and said: My dear Blank, l beg
your pardon, but one OF your ha.fs Is
crossed over the others" The member
grew angry at once and replied; "Ioq
insult me, sir! YOU insult me" and
walked stihy back to his seat. lie re-
fused to be reconciled, and he became
Hamlin's lifelong enemy. A few years
later, when Hamlin was candidate tor
the United States Senate, this man was
again in the legislature, and his vote de-
cided the contest in favor of llamlin''
opponent.

WISE WORDS.

No one can be taught faster than he
will learn.
The way to avoid great faults is to be-
ware of small ones.
They are as sick, that surleit with too
much, as they that starve with nothing.
Let friendship creep gently to height
if it rushcs to it, it may soon run itself
out of breath.
Hundreds Of people can talk for one
who can think, but thousands can think
for one who can see.
If thou wouldst attain to thy highest,
20 look upon flower; what thou does
willessly, that do thou willingly.
Value the friendship of him who stands
by you in the storm; swarms Of insects
will surround YOU in the sunshine.
When worthy men quarrel, only one
of them may be faulty at the first; but,
if strife continue long, commonly both
become guilty.
No man has ever lived right life who
! has not been chastened by IA woman's
! love, strengthened by her courage and
guided by her discretion.
What we lack in natural abilities may
usually be made up by industry; dwarf
may keep pace with Il giant if he vii
only move his legs fast enough.
All impotence of monotony, all weari
ness of best things, even, are but sign
of the eternity of our nature, the broker
human fashions of the divine everast
ingness.
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily
to throw a perfume on the violet, t
smooth the ice, or to add another hu
unto the rainbow; or with taper light t
seek the beauteous eye of heaven to gar
nish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess
