Pioneer At Hotels.

Mr. Henry B. Hyde, Of New York, president OF
the Equitable Life Insurance Society, arrived in
the city yesterday by the Seattle, Lake shore &
Eastern. He came in his private car with q
party consisting Of Mira Hyde and son, Mr. James
II. Hyde, Mr.. Frank H. Ballard, the company's
superintendent of agencies, and Mr.. ). 81.
Browniee, the agent at Victoria The whole
party went to the Rainier hotel, and started
again in the evening for Victoria. In . few
days they viii return TO Seattle, where Mr.. Hyde
has some interests.
His brilliant success in business has made his
name familiar in commercial circles throughout
the world, for he is everywhere regarded as one
OF the sblest hnanciers In America From his
personal appearance It is easy 10 see that he IL
man far out of the ordinary. He is tall and well
built; his finely made head, deeply set eyes,
strong brows, prominent nose, clear-out chin and
nrm mouth, hall covered with an iron gray
mustsche, all show force, energy and skill.
Mr.. Hyde il regarded ss the pioneer OF modern
life insurance methods. He practically devised
and made popular the so-called "tontins"
policies, which have brought life insurance to
be regarded by the average business man as al
most necessity. The progress OF the Equitable
company Ia q conspicuous proof of Mr.. Hyds's
abilities, for though the Equitable was only or
ganiEed thirty years ago, it has outstrippec
many older competitors and il now one OF the
greatest companies of the world, with branches
in every civilized country.
In speaking Of his trip Mr.. Hyde said yester-
day; al have come West over the Canadian Pa

hill quite rapidly, and the motorman supposing
that the wagon would pull out Of the way In

'sMerry Chr istmas' Engraved on Five
Dollar Gold Piece.

Dollar Gold Piece.
In remittance received from Portland by the
Washington National bank the teller found IS
gold piece that very probably has had an inter-
esting and varied career One side OF the money
had been polished and rubbed until the eagle
was almost invisible, but the words "Merry
Christmas" which had been engraved across
the face, though indistinct. were dlscernible
when closely examined. The edge OF the piece
near the head OF the eagle was also slightly
mutilated, showing that the money had at one
time been . bangle and that great pains must
have been taken 70 erase the marks OF the link.
The opposite side of the money was not mutt
lated, and when not examined closely could be
easily passed. The owner of the money must
either have been I'm sore need OF the necessities
OF life, or perhaps the bangle fell into the hands
of thieves. who adopted the easiest method OF
Kidding themselves OF the piece.
