THE number of new national banks
Incorporated during the past year is
smaller than FOR three proceeding years,
though nearly up to the average of the
years prior to 1899. The total number
Incorporated during the fiscal year 1892
was 1863, with capital aggregating SD.
2Sj 900. In 1890 the number was BOZ
and the of capital was $3.50
600 In point of number added during
the past year Texas leads with twenty
two banks, followed by Iowa. Indiana,
ohio aud Pennsylvania in the order
named. The largest amount Of capital
was prOyived by Illinoins. For several
years past the greatest inceesse in the
number Of active national banks has been
in the states west Of the Mississippi river
and in the South. PENNSYLVANIA still has
the greatest numbr of national banks in
operation, Massachusetts, the greatest
aggregate capital, and New York the
the largest deposits. The increase in
population and prosperity in the west has
caused the national banking system to be
more generally taken advantage of in
comparison with state banks and other
financial corporations organized under
state laws, and the growth of the system
Is largely confined 10 the newer states.

Plans and Specifications of the
Big Sewer Submitted.

A full board was present at the council
meeting Monday night. The session vas an
adjourned one for the purpose OF furthering
the proposed biRsewer.
Surveyor Kolbe was present with plans
and specifications which he read to the coun-
Gil. They were quite lengthy and covered
all the ground required forthe construction
Of first class sewer. As estimated by him
the cost will be in the neighborhood of
$1,000. 1t will follow the course of the old
sewer from Scott street to the canal. For
the present the ''man-hoen under the canal
will be ussG and south of the cana an open
sewer constructed to carry off surplus water,
in case Of floods. The sewer will be con-
structed Of brick and have an average depth
of feet.
A motion was presented in writing by
councilman Cahill, which passed the council,
notifying all property owners and others
interested that the plans and specifications
are on file for inspection. Notice will be
found in another column Steps for the
savers construction will be taken as rapidly
as the law will permit.
Councilman Wilson thought that the SIDE
walk leading from Perry st. to the depot
was in dangerous condition. SO did Mr..
Samse and other members of the council,
the former presenting resolution to have a
new walk constructed along that route. The
three readings were dispensed with and the
resolution carried by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Wilson also complained of the swami
py condition of Clinton st. between Perry
and Scott. Councilman Reiser hushed such
complaints by offering to circulate petition
to have Clinton street macadamized or paved
from Perry st. to Haly avenue.
Edw. Brown entered protest to the IN
sanitary condition of the north side of the
railroad cansed by no sewers. Mayor
Meekison wrote him petition for a sewer
a long Adrian Pike to which he will get sign
ers and submit at next meeting.
Mr.. Samse reported one boat load OF
crushed stone received and asked the coun-
ell to purchase another. Mr.. Grim also
urged that this be done as both stone roads

The stone was ordered at cost not to OK

What Kind of Paint Shall Use

Nearly every person is puzzled more or
less when they are going to paint their house
or barn to know just what kind of paint is
the best and at the same time the cheapest.
That is, what kind Of paint is the most du-
rabIe and will hold its colors the best
Nearly every dealer claims he has the best,
SO that it is pretty difficult for one in ex-
perienced to know Just what he had better
buv. Now good way to tell who sells the
best paint and who makes the best, is when
you are driving along the road and see q
house or barn painted-stop and find out
how long since it was painted, what kind OF
paint was used and who sells that particular
kind. Now this does not take much trouble
and it certainly is one of the best tests which
can be applied. Saur & Balsley have sold
oils, paints and varnishes for over Syears.
Their long experience, which should teach
any one, has taught them that there is only
one best and that is the John W. Masury R,
r. Paint. 1t has stood the most severe tests
which can be applied to any paint for many
years and it has always proved itself second
tonone other.

The Mutal Benefit Life Insurance
Company Of Newark, N, ].

Ii Mr.. Pelgram's policy had been
issued by the Mutual Benefit Life In.
surance Company ,hisinsurance would
not have been forfeited by his failure
to pay the premium, as, under that
Company's NoNFoRFEITURE SYSTEM,
his insurance would have been carried
in FULL FORCE for more than TWELVE
YEARS after his default.
The Importance of fair and Just
Nonforfeiture System will be especially
apparent when it is borne in mind
that many more policies are forfeited
or surrendered than are continued to
maturity. According to the returns
made by the 80 Life Insurance Com
panies reporting to the New York In
asurance Department, the amount Of
insurance terminated In 1887 by Death
or Maturity was $39, ,7S6, ,526; while the
amount ofinsurance surrendered for
more or less of an equivalent was
s$48, 1856, ,157; and the amount of insur-
.=ance absolutely forfeited by lapse, no
vaiaes having been allowed for same,
was $91, ,4O0,252. The total insurance
terminated by lapse and surrender In
the one year 1887 was therefore, $780,
'756 400 as against $3.50, ,7S6,526 which
actually came TO maturity.
The money lost by policyholders
who fail to keep up their premium
payments and have no protection such
as Is granted by the Mutual Benefit,
amounts to an enormous sum every
year, and no man can afford to incur
the risk of forfeiture when he can get
an absolutely nonforfeitable policy In
the Mutual Benefit.
The Mutual Benefit policy grants
the option of paid-np policy for a
definite amount, If the insured prefers
"a value In that form to an extension
of the full amount of the insurance.
The Mutual Benefit policy is also
especially desirable owing TO its free
dom from all restrictions upon travel,
residence or occupation after the
second year; and to its incontestabiiity
except for fraud, which, Of course,
must be wilful and intentional.
A party insuring at age 35 on the
annual life plan can have:
OVER 4 YEARS insurance for 2
YEARS premiums.
OVER 10 YEARS insurance for 8
YEARS premiums.
OVER 20 YEARS insurance for 1O
WEARS premiums.
80 LAPsED POLICIES insuring $780,.
900, were PAID IN FULL by the Com.
pany In 1891, under its NoN-FoR'
