LONDON, Oct. l, 19S9.-Sir Edwin Ar
nold's praise of the superior COM
forts given to their patrons by Ameri-
can railways, has revived the rumor
that the London and Northwestern in
tends to put on some American carriages
for its numerous passengers of that ma
tionality. The announcement of such a
project has several times aroused so fran
tic an opposition that the company has
been deferred from it's adoption and the
fabric of the British Empire remains I'M
shaken. A prominent director Of the
company named says that besides popu-
lar prejudice, which is gradually dimin-
ishing since the introduction of sleeping
cars on the long routes. the Northwestern
has to encounter the obstruction of other
lines, which fear that the innovation will
be a success and they will be compelled to
follow the example of any pioneer line.

A MARVELLOUS RECORD.
The Mutual Reserve Fund Life As
ISOLATION.

From time to time the Record has noted
the progress of the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association, of which Mr.. E. b. Harper
has long been the able and honored head
We have duly given prominence to its plan
of operations, have given our reasons why
we thought it the best organization for life
insurance, have given to it our sympathy
and our words of encouragement when we
thought it uDjustly assailed and we have
spread the results Of its business before our
readers. All this is matter of history and
we once more refer to this Association SIM
ply to call attention to the almost unheard
of popularity of its methods. Now let us
premise by saying that the Reserve Emer-
gency Fund now exceeds two millions, two
hundred and five thousand dollars, that it
has paid death losses of more than seven
millions of dollars, that it has never con-
tested an honest claim, nor has it ever paid
less than face value. Again, the Emergency
Fund is securely invested in Bonds and
Mortgages and held by Trust Companies
and Governmental authorities for the benefit
OF beneficaries or members.
1t appears frok the published and sworn
statements of the Company that its business
since January /, 1889, far exceeds the record
of any previous year. During single week
ending July 9th, 1889. it received Of new
business $4,000, and since the beginning Of
the year the amount figures high in the mil
lions. Despite opposition and prejudice the
Association has steadily made progress. and
is today the most popular Life Insurance
Company in the country. Vensl newspapers
and prejudiced State Superintendent have
In vain assailed its methods and the integrity
OF Its management, but the Association is so
firmly established that these attacks have
entirely failed of their object We believe
THIS marvellous growth is the legitimate out
come OF cheap and popular methods of life
insurance and the honest management of its
internal affairs, and it is prophesying upon
Veivet TO assure our readers that this is no
temporary success, but is the Inauguration
oil prosperity and popularity that can and
will be indefinitely extended, growing larger
year by year, and daily gaining ground in
the confidence of the people who regard life
insurance both as an investment and a
security.-The New York Record and Trade
Reporter.

A Ric CAPTURE.
Portland Men AstonIsh a Massachu-
sets Town by Buying Its Cas- Conn

According to the Wakefield, Mass, Her
aid and Record Portland business man has
caused no little commotion'in that part of
the country by capturing the organization of
the staid old Citizens Gas Light Company
of Reading, South Reading and Stoneham.
At the recent annual meeting of the old
board of directors, represented by not more
than 100 shares of stock, were confronted
and out-generalled by an outside element
which had obtained control of something
like 1888 shares. The total number OF shares
in the corporation is 953. But the new COM
ers constituted majority of the necessary
quorum and proceeded to vote themselves
into office, Mr.. E. E. Proctor of Portland,
Me-, being elected treasurer. The conserva-
tive element taken unawares and finding
that they were outvoted, generally RETAINED
from casting their ballots. For some time
past the directors of the company have been
cognizant Of the fact that Mr. E. E. Proctor,
who, 1t Is said, is soon to remove to Wake
field, Mass, had secured the 1888 shares of
the company's stock left by the late Cyrus
Wakefield; in addition to these 1888 Mr.. Proc
tor has obtained, through himself and
friends, $50 other shares, thus controlling in
all 40S shares. Mr.. Proctor has been endeav-
oring to infuse new life and new blood into
the company; he advocated radical change
In Its methods, the adoption of less con-
sentative policy, and also advocated going
into the electric light business (Which, as the
statutes now stand. can be very easily done
by an Incorporated gas company. He told
some OF the directors, plainly, that he
thought the company was too conservative
and slow going, and that 1t was not making
money enough-that, for instance, it is not
charging the town enough for gas, etc. To
this il was replied that the town is paying
as much as the people will stand and that
the price Of gas is even now considered high,
both to private and public consumers as re-
CARDS the electric light project, the old board
OF directors felt that it was unwise to hasten
into the scheme. inasmuch as there was
doubt of its.paying.
The new board of directors is composed as
follows:
President-W. L. Biddle, Amesbury.
Clerk and Treasurer-E. e. Proctor, Portland,
Me-
Directors H. Soden, Boston; W. K. Bldde,
Amesbury; George +. West, Portland; s. X.
