The New York Life Iusurnuce Co.

the name of "The Nautilus Insur-
ance Company" with authority to
transact fire and marine business.
April Is, 1913, the charter was
amended authorizing the addition of
life insurance. Again, April 5,
1919, the charter of the Nautilus
was further amended limiting the
business to life insurance and
changing the name to that of The
New York Life ms. Co. / know of
no insurance organization whose
literature is more deceptive, whose

the New York Life Ins. Co. existed

report of the Company,) and in
1916 6 years before the New York

The Equitable Agent Gracefr
racefully "Swims Out" and The N,

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN As
the agent for the Equitable very
wisely declines to have the col
ored gentleman in his company's
woodpile, exposed TO the public, by
positively and fatty" refusing to
accept my published challenge and
have the question of superior merit
decided before a committee compe-
tent to pass judgment, he is, of
course, free To continue his peculiar
methods of illustrating superior cx-
cellence by daily publishing bewild-
ering columns of misleading COM
parsons; although it must he con.
coded that he makes sad COM
mentary on the intelligence of
his own townspeople when he in
fers that the average reader will
readily understand from his publish

"unequalled, peerless, Alone" etc.,
ETC., and still admits that he would
be unable 10 make that fact clear TO
picked committee selected from
the brainiest of his fellow citizens
meeting for that express purpose.
Anything more absurdly ridiculous
than that portion of the advertise
ment abiding to the "reckless finan-
cial management and ultimate ruin"
of the Largest Life Insurance Com
pany in the World, would be diff
cult indeed to find unless it we're the
circus circular advertisement of the
New York Life appearing in the
same issue of the BULLETIN. If,
however, the Mutual Life with over
80 million dollars more assets and
over 300 more members than
either of it's would-be rivals, shows
signs of speedy dissolution from the
Equitable comparisons its condi-
ton must be deplorable indeed when
judged by the magic lantern figures

doleful prophecies to make "Mother
Shipton" turn over in her grave
with envy.

"most clubs are always found under

pective companies, any policy ever
issued during the entire history of
said corporations that will equal
the results of policies / will SUBJ
mitfrom the books Of the Mutual
Life, will instantly pay ever
one thousand dollars. And If Mr..
Berger should decide as did Mr.,
Cartwright that this is not "open
manly argument" then l will agree
TO compare with him policies issued
by both Co.'S on the lives of Homo
lulu citizens and show a decided SUI
periority in favor of the Mutual Life
right here in Honolulu. If Mr..
Berger don't wish to post forfeit
at all, will now make the following
proposition: Mr.. Fred. G. Lowrey
of this city is one of the many pro-
minent business men of Honolulu
who appear to be well content with
their policies in the Mutual Life. 1
mention Mr.. Lowrey's policy, as it
is upon the plain ordinary life plan,
of which plan both Equitable and
New York Life have thousands of
policies in force. And l will in
stantly forfeit one thousand dollars
if either Equitable or New York
Life can show as large profit on
any similar contract ever issued by
said companies as the amount of pro-
fit apportioned by the Mutual Life to
MIR. Lowrey's policy. Mr.J. r. Buch-
tel of Akron, Ohio, WHO'S the founder
of the Buchtel College and Presi-
dent of the New York Life local
board, writes as follows:
81 hereby certify that have
policy on my life in the New York
Life Insurance Company, dated
January 1878 also one in the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of
New York, issued at same time
and on same PLAN and that the
percentage Of dividend to premium
for the year in the Mutual Life was
twice as large as that of the New
York Life, which included in addi-
ton to the regular dividend my
share of the profits in the so-called
Local Board
j. r. BUCHTEL.
Mr. Robt. S. Mckee, a prominent
wholesale merchant of Indianapolis,
Ind, and son-in-law of the Presi-
dent of the United States, certifies
over his signature that he insured
in the Mutual Life and the New
York Life for $10,000in each COM
pany at the same date, on the same
plan and for the same premium and
that while he has paid exactly the
same amount to each corporation,
the Mutual Life has given him q
dividend of S., 463.00 and the New
York Life only $2,753.62. Differ
ence in favor of the Mutual Life
$2,710.3S on $4,000, and the divi-
dend on Mr.. McKee's policy in the
Mutual Life for 1889 was $251
| against the New York Life dividend
of $4,000. Mr.. Mckee concludes

M. Schurig, the owner of the clock, was in town to-day making arrange ments for the exhibition. The clock was made at Villingen, Baden, Germany, the inventor, Christian Martin, having spent twenty years of his life in com pleting the ingenious work of art. The architecture of the clock is in Gothic style, 12 feet high, 10 feet wide, and it weighs 1,5O0 pounds. Two hundred and sixty-fve wheels are contained therein, operated by only one pendulum. It shows the seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, and registers the years and leap years. The face of the clock has twenty-six apartments, in which are contained 122 different moving figures, among which are the four generations of infancy, youth, manhood and old age, death, the guardian angel, the twelve apostles, a figure representing Christ, the sufferings of Christ, the mechanical growing cock, and many other ingenious and wonder full devices.
 All the workings and wonders of the clock, outside and interior, will be illus trated and explained at the different ex- hibitions.

The enterprise was the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Com pany, with the principal office In this county, Cal. The field of operations Is at the latter place.
 The capital stock of the company Is $s0, 000, 900, of which e9, ,000, ,060 has been paid in and sunk almost beyond re- demption. The president of the com pany is Hon. Ray V. Pierce, ex-Con- gressman, and proprietor of tho Worlds Dispensary, of this city. Dr. Pierce is the head of the enterprise, and owns sixty to seventy per cent. of the stock The Feather River, in Butte county, is rich in its deposits of gold, and the north fork of the river, called Big Bend, was considered particularly rich. Five years ago Dr. Pierce's attention was called to these deposits, and he organ ized the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Company, every shareholder in which confidently expected to become a mil Nonaire.
 The mine turned out to be a failure. The bed of the river was covered with immense powders, and 1t was losing task to secure the gold. One gang of men would strike rich find, but an other gang would work away at the powders and eat up the profits of the find.

RECKLESS PISTOL FIRING.

A Waterbury Boy Bound Over to the
 Superior Court.
 Last evenings New Haven Register says: Judge Thompson in the city court this morning bound young Patrick Kee- gan, recent arrival from Waterbury, over to the October term of the superior court on the charge of an aggravated breach of the peace. Bonds were placed at $500, and as Keegan could not secure that amount he was taken to jail. Ex- Judge Blydenburgh defended him.
 Last Saturday night Keegan, who claims to be but 19 years old, had a row with Frank Bowen, the barkeeper in John Dwyer's saloon, corner Oak street and Congress avenue, over some money which Bowen claimed Keegan owed him. Keegan became mad, and going out bought revolver at Leighton's s hardware store. Returning he fired two shots in the saloon just as Bowen was escaping by a side door.
