SAGINAW. MICH. May 20.-A little spark
and a strong southwest gale this afternoon
between the hours and o'clock resulted
in a very destructive Ere. The faireSt
portion of Saginaw was left mas Vi
smoulderng ashes and debris.
The fire is said TO have started from the
chimney of Briggs d Cooper, on what ~
known as the middle ground. and. waited
Inv the gale. il swept down upon and found
refuge IN the dismantled mlil-plant or
Sample * Camp, on the docks, where there
were many piles OF lumber. Here 1t found
rich food, and in The, twlnEling OF an
eve the single spark had crown lpto a
roaring mass of flames and started OF
its mad career with fury that no mana
could check. The Bristol-street bridge
next caught and portion OF II was de-
stroved. Thence the flames leaped &c tho
east side. lust below Bristol street and
north of the City Hall. where were located
a large number of buildings, including
Hose-House No. 8. J. +. Wlnkier's ice.
houses. eleven residences on I1iden street
and on both sides OF washington aVehus
down to Holden street, all of which Wcre
quickly licked up.
Then fhe sparks were carried across the
old BAYOU into the premises or the ueo'ge
T.. Cross Lumber Company. the plGning-
mill. the lumber in the yard, and dozen
tenement.houses melting away IKE snow
Next came the Arlington and Curtis manu-
featuring COmpany's extensive plant ana
Bassett's old soap-tactory, all Oh whlch
were wiped out.
PINE RRsIDENcrs 90.
Here tho FIRE struck Jefferson avenue,
and in an hour some OF the hnest resi-
dences in the city were IN ashes. ne
flames made clean sweep north TO Emer-
son street, and continued eastward south
of and along Anderson street towards tho
city limits. IL cut wide swain
on Owen. Howard, and Sheridan avenues,
and other streets east. The Orphans
Home succumbed early, but the inn ete9
were ali removed 10 places OF safety. me
patients were all removed from st. Mary =
Hospital. which was in extreme danger for
n time. but was saved. The fury OF the
gale carried the sparks long distances. and
Mt o'clock tho fire had reached the
magnificent planing-mill, factory. and
lumber-yard OF i. German. which was de-
etrOyed. as we'll us q large number OF
dwellings IN that section OF the city.
The scene witnessed during this awful
two hours of wind and flame are beyond
the power of pen to adequately portray.
The fire department labOred herclcally,
but with little success.
IL Is impossible at this late hour TO give
an account of the losses and insurance:
The former will reach nearly Q million and
half dollars, and the insurance PROBABLY
seven hundred thousand dollars. Fully
/ 900 men employed in the factories burned
are thrown out of employment and hun
dreds of families are homeless, az about
three hundred buildings were burned.

You Cant do It Again

When the great financial results attained by policy-holders
in the Mutual life are shown to the confused agents OF rival
companies they exclaim: Yes; but they can't do it again,
They are willing to admit that the dividends paid by the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company ofNew York on all its earlier
policies are the largest ever paid by any company on similar
forms Of insurance, but it is claimed that the Mutual Life cam
mot duplicate its former dividend results on policies issued
now. Let us see:
On Policy Ne.iI5, 62S, issued November Z, 1870, at age
twenty five, for $4,000, annual premium s9945, ordinary life
plan, at the end Of first twenty years the dividend additions
amounted to 81 ,go5.oo, making the insurance value Sc, 9o5. 90 as
a death claim, which is 634.40 more than the amount of prem.
iums paid improved at 10 per cent. compound interest.
On Policy No. ia, 1858, issued September Z, 1871, at age
Htwentysix, for $1,000, annual premium s102. 90, ordinary life
plan, the dividend additions in 1891, at the end of the first
twenty years, amounted to s~1,847.00, raising the policy to So
$4,000 and being 1920. rs better than all the premiums paid i'm
proved at 10 per cent. compound interest per annum for twenty
years.
Thus it appears from the records Of The Mutual Life IN
surance Company Of New York that the first twenty years
dividends, ending in 1890 and 1891, declared on policies issued
in 1870 and 1871 have been as favorable as those declared in the
first twenty years on policies issued in 1913. 1t is, therefore,
quite reasonable to assume that the future dividends of this
Company on policies issued now, on the twenty year distribu-
tion plan, will be as good as those realized in the first twenty
years by the holders of policies issued in the early years of the
Company on the old ..reversionary addition plan, on which
were declared every five years and added to the policy
at their insurance value.
Since189o the Mutual Life's dividends have shown a grad
ua increase every year.
