THE PROOF :.

fthere are any persons who regard Tontlne
assurance as a failure, it is safe to say that
they base their opinion on the criticism OF
those who are identified with companies that
do not issue Tontine policies. The easiest
demonstration of this is to cite few Of the
dividends declared in 1891 on some Of the 20
year Tontine policies of the Equitable. For
example, the holder of Life policy No. e6,54s
has enjoyed SO, 900 Of assurance for 20 years,
for which he has paid S5,45O in annual pre-.
niums. He is now able to draw cash divi-
dend of S4,154.3O, and may continue his as
surance at reduced rate Of premium.
Or, he can surrender his policy and add to
cash value to this cash dividend, and thus
draw total Of S1,213.6O in money. This Is
equivalent to a return of all he has paid in
premiums, with simple interest added at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
Or, he can convert his policy and dividend
into paid assurance for S13,3 $3.50 equal to 246
per cent of the premiums paid),
The largest profits, however, are shown on
Endowment policies. Take the following
Illustrations:
1.-The holder OF policy No. G4 ,925 for $4,000
has paid S4,79s in premiums. The present
cash value of his policy and dividends is Ss,-
449.45, equal to a return OF all he paid, with
interest at the rate of over per cent. per
annum. in addition.
,. The holder OF policy No. 65,44a for S1o,-
600 has paid 5000 in premiums. The present
cash of policy and dividends is SIG 6,94S.5o,
equal to a return of all he has paid, with In
terest at the rate OF over per cent. per an
nun.
3. The holder of policy No. Ct, 6,49o for $4,000
has paid s3,1o6.sO in premiums. The present
cash value Of his policy and dividends is
s5,43s. 81, equal to return Of all he has paid
with interest at the rate OF over 7 per cent per
annuu.
The Tontine policy of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society Of the United States not
onlv protect your wife and children II you
should be taken from them, but also yield
hands ONE rctnrn to yourselfif you live and
keep your policy in force.
1t is easy for any life company to show
large returns on policies which mature as
Death Claims. but the Equitable shows large
returns also to the living policy-holder. Its
Twerty-year Tontine Policies maturing in
1881 (by the expiration OF the the Tontine
period) have cash surrender value equal to
a return of all premiums, with interest at
rates varying between two and seven per
cent. per annuna.

would suggest asphyxiation by
gas as painless and quick means of
executing criminals, writes Sam Da-
Wis of Carson, New. to the New York
World. In the last twenty years
over a dozen men have been killed
by gas in the Comstock mines. The
gas was produced by combustion OF
old timbers. In several cases it
came on the minets unawares, and
in every instance the victim died
without tremor. One miner was
opening a bulk head, and as he
smashed in one of the planks the
gas escaped through the opening.
He was laughing and talking at the
time, and the instance he inhaled
the gas the body sank to the ground,

electricity, or the neck breaking by
the hangman's rope,
