WHAT THE
Review Says
In its issue of February, 1892.

1--WE had thought we were pretty well ac-
quainted with the WASHINGTON LIFE IN
SURANCE COMPANY of New York. On the
contrary, we are only just now getting on in
innate terms with one of its very best and
strongest features, namely the superior char
acter of its assets. According to our analysis,
over ninety-two per cent. of this cOmpany's as
sets are of the best and safest classes known to
the world of finance. Here is how we reach
that conclusion: The best assets life insur-
ance company can have are loans to policy
holders secured by reserves. The Washington
has S27S, "a i'll such loans. Cash in hand
is certainly safe. The Washington has 3247,-
7OS of cash money. A company that pays
losses as this one does by the first mail or eX-
press after satisfactory proofs are i'm, has need
for fair amount of ready money. Prudent
ly selected real estate, owned outright, is a
safe, and, generally, is u profitable asset. The
Washington has, at cost value, S5O1 ,S1S.25 of
such real estate. But the bulk of the above
ninety-two per cent. consists of first-lien loans
on real estate. The Washington has S9,541,-
1922 in such loans. The property securing
those loans is valued ut nineteen million dol
lars.
1--WE emphatically admire and commend the
Washington Life's financial tactics in pinning
itself right down to United States soil. There
is nothing safer and more profitable in the
long run than American earth. The policy
holder need not worry who knows that the
funds which back up his policy are loaned on
real estate worth double the amount. Though
banks may crash and great bonded corpora
lions may default, the real estate stays-it can
not run away nor be stolen. As to value,
when the population of this country perma-
nently ceases to increase, then it may be ex-
pected that average real estate values will
cease to advance, but not until then.
In taking the course which we have men,
toned regarding real estate loans, the WASH
ington Life is on the safest side of safety. 1t is
our privilege to remark incidentally that the
Washington is a thoroughly fair and straight
forward company. If any poliey-holder is
under any misapprehension concerning his
rights, it is either because he does not ask for
or because he cannot understand
plain and candid English.

INSURE IN A RELIABLE HOME COMPANY.

The Maryland Life Insurance Company, by
its prudent, conservative and judiciouS man
agement has won a foremost place in the csti-
nation of insurance experts. 1t has on de-
post with the Treasurer of Maryland $780,
600 to guarantee the payment of losses. Its
rates are low-the security it offers is I'M
doubted-it does not hamper or embarrass its
insured with needless restrictions.
This company has been IN operation for 25
years, and has never contested or attempted to
compromise for the insurance under any of its
policies. All claims have been punctually paid
in full.
Examine its conditions and terms before you

GO CHEEvE Err PL., Brooklyn, N. Y, June 10, 80.
For over twelve years my son has been af11ict-
ed with spasms; he would have one every two
weeks until about six months ago, then even
two a week. We took him to number of first
class physicians and we tried everything
and any number of remedies without de-
irving any encouragement i'll his case, and had
commenced to despair of ever being able to
cure him at all, when we heard OF Pastor Koe-
nig's Nerve Tonic and concluded to give il
trial. The result has more than satisfied us.
1t is more than three months since he common
ced to take this nerve tonic and he has never
been sick since. Please accept our most
sincere thanks for we feel that you have not
only cured him of great atfiiction but have
saved his life rs well, as we do not think he
would have lived long in the condition he was
in before he commenced taking your valuable
remedy. Mrs. NJ. MOLONY.

A Guitars Tale.

Miss Bessie w. Harris, daughter of music
dealer in Troy, N. Y, broke a guitar which her
father had given her some time ago, says the
Cincinnati Commercidl-GG Gazette. 1t was a pc
cuiiar-looking but f1ned-toned instrument,
which had belonged to her dead grandfather,
and no one knows how 1t came into her posses
sion. Mr.. Harris, in examining the pieces to-
day, found the following strange inscription
written on the wood:
March 6, 1eS0--This guitar is put together TO-
day by man who has been in prison eleven
years under sentence of life, a prisoner who
is victim of circumstances and to-day is held
as criminal To carry out revenge the plan
was SO laid that Chamberlain is into it vet un-
known TO himself In time this guitar may be
broken and these words read by some one, and
whoever it may be ask them to know and pub
lish this fact
A man may be state prisoner for years and
yet get square with his enemies. / have en-
Joyed many pleasant moments even in this
prison, for it is pleasure 20 believe that there
are those who fear me as man. Chamberlain
stood with his hand on his revolver Christmas
1879. o, how .contemptible he looked, the poor
cur. Yes, be is cur of the mongrel breed Refs

A Story of snnrraon.

Another personal experience OF Mr.. Spur
geon was at the Crystal palacs. where he
preached to $1,000 people, says the London
World. Seated near to the pulpit, observed
Mrs. Spurgeon take her place just before her
husband appeared, and that she was visibly
affected by the mighty concourse Of souls, all
with upturned faces and fixed gaze upon one
man, and all about to be thrilled TO the core by
that man g impassioned appeals to them to be
saved alive. While Mrs. Spurgeon was con-
ceallnR her emotion as best she might-in other
words, dealing furtively and shyly with her
pocket hendkerchief-I saw the pastor beckon
Tar on with his forefinger to one of the deacons
Some BRIEF but evidently important, instruc-
ton was whispered by Mr.. Spurgeon In the
mans ear, and $4,000 people were at once agoK
with curiosity to know what this could possibly
DO at such time. when the whole vast place
was quivering with anticipation and suppressed
emotional excitement l happened to be seated
so near to Mrs. Spurgeon that l. at least, out Of
that vast and silent wd of expectants, should
hear what had delayed the pastor, and what
the urgent matter was he had at such a criti-
cal moment, to communicate. In a hoarse
f1eshly whisper heard this: "Mr Spurgeon
says please will you change your seat, so that
be will not be able TO see you; it T'Tt" was
doubtless Mrs Surgeons obvious emotionl
makes him nervous" and the lady moved i'm
mediately to another seat not visible from the
preachers place.
