LATER And AUTHENTIC.

In the last issue of The IEqiS, we notice IAN
Open Letter. addressed pc sonally to Edward
l.: Gernand and John A. Evans, which is in re-
ply to a former article published in reply to an
alleged comparison of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society and the State Mutual Life AS
surance Co., made by Mr.. Joseph Bowes, Man.
ager, and Mr.. John J. Alexander, Agent, of
the Equitable Life.
We are at all times ready to defend our Com
pany in our official capacity, and we will be
glad to give any information to intending in
surers as to the merits of the different plans of
insurance. but we have neither the time nor
the money to carry on Il personal cOrrespon-
dence through the newspapers.
Mr. Alexander states that he "has been in
formed that the Equitable Life Assurance
Society gave pro rata paid up insurance to
those who were either unable or unwilling to
continue their policies in force under the Ton
tine plan. We have the names of many policy
holders in the Equitable who did not receive
such value, and were secured through an adj
vertsement in the daily papers. The following,
we believe, are sufficient to prove our state
ment:
''Mr Henry A. Sage is the president of the
Easton, Pa, horse railroad. He paid large
amount of money to the Equitable on three
Tontine policies of $4,000 each. Having
failed to continue payment of premiums, he
tried to make some arrangement with the
Company. OF course they would not do it,
and he could not recover Il cent. He now re-
grets that he was coaxed into so costly and il
lusory plan.
Mr. F. j. Auspach of No. 134 South Third
street, Philadelphia, took a ten thousand dol
lar policy on the Tontine plan in the Equitable
in 1878. He paid on the whole of it for some
years, when circumstances compelled him to
stop payment on $1,000, for which he could
not get a cent. He still clings to the other
So 900, but says he is tired of it. But I'M
doubtedly that is what the Company wants and
it is what he bargained for.
"Mr. John t. Cummings, of No. ? N. Clark ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, through adversely in business,
left with the Equitable S2S5.O0 on Il Tontne
policy for s., 900 on which he paid $500 Il
year for three years. He says the Company
would not wait for me- Why should they !?
They had the money as they had expected to
have when Mr.. Cummings insured.
MIR E. G. Ward, of No. 4G1 Macon street,
Brooklyn, paid eleven quarterly premiums on
n Tontine policy for $1,000 in the Equitable
He neglected to pay the twelfth until he
was too late, and he was out to the extent of
S372.35. The company got the money and

VIM NJ EDEJIN's BARN BURNRD.-Shortly
after dark ON Tuesday night the people living
within radius Of several miles from Watervale
observed an illumination in the sky which at
one time was brilliant enough to read by in Bel
Air. 1t was caused by the burning of the large
frame barn of Mr.. VIM. NJ Edelin,, about one
half mile north of Watervale. The flames
were first observed about 7.30 o'clock and in
one hour the whole structure was in ashes.
The origin of the hre remains a complete
mystery. The contents. consisting Of so tons
of hay and 600 bushels of unthreshed wheat,
which belonged jointly to Mr. Edelin, and Mr..
James W. Hamilton, the tenant, and all of Mr..
Hamilton's farming implements were entirely
destroyed. The barn, which was new, was 40b by
60 feet with an addition 90 by 30 feet. Mr..
Edelin, had all insurance In the Hartford Com
pany for 1920 on the building and $500 on
the contents. Mr. Hamilton was uninsured
and is nearly ruined. The total loss is about
$4,000. The neighbors gathered to the number
OF more than two hundred and by strenuous
efforts succeeded in saving the dwelling and
the granary, which contained large quantity
of husked corn. This is the third barn that
has been burned on the same spot.
