Prompt Payment of $4,000
Insurance,

I take this method of thanking the
officers of the greatest Insurance Com
pany of the present century. 1 have
received a check dated April 16, for
$4,000, from Mr.. w. H. Smollinger,
president of the Covenant Mutual Life
Association, of Illinois, through its
manager, Mr.. W. S. Hoffman, OF No.
S36 Market street, Wilmington, Del.
/ feel proud to state that l never had
better dealings than with the gentle
man connected with the Covenant Mu-
tual Life Association, of Illinois. My
husbands policy of $4,000 was only in
force twenty-five days, when my late
husband, Joseph Hendel, was taken
from me by his sudden death, and to
those who are seeking or desire pro-
lection for their loved ones, who are
to be left behind in this world, would
advise them to take out policy Of in
surance in the Covenant Mutual Life
Association, of Illinois, and l assure
them they can leave this world knowing
their loved ones will receive the full
amount and prompt payment Of their
policy. Respectfully,
BARBARA HENDEL.

tion was referred under suspension Of

rules 70 the committee. together with
the report
Then he offered his petition contain
ing the 10000 names and insisted upon
it being read. Soon after the reading
had been begun, Mr.. Dempsey moved
that the reading of the balance of the
names be dispensed with, as no one de-
MED that the names were there all
right. To read them all would be q
simple waste Of time.
Mr.. Johnson seconded his motion
and called the attention of the House
to the volume Of names
Mr.. Donaldson insisted and said that
the petitions for other railroads had
been read and nobody objected, and he
hopei this petition would be read as it
was the result of an investigation
which had extended throughout thc
entire session.
Mr. Mccullough agreed with him
and called for the yeas and nays. Mr
Dempsey called the chairs attention to
the fact that he was not in his seat,
and MIR. Mccullough quickly went TO
his desk and renewed his motion.
The vote on the motion to dispense
with further reading of the names was
then taken and resulted as follows:
Yea-Messrs. Dempsey, Cheairs, L..
S. Hopkins, Johnson, Mccoy. Smith
and Mr. Speaker.
Nay-Messrs. Donaldson, Martin,
Mccullough, Short, Taylor, Whitney
and Wilson,.
Mr.. Johnson called attention to the
fact that the reading clerk was almost
worn out by the reading Of the report
and bill and he suggested that he be
relieved.
Mr.. Donaldson volunteered 10 assist
and started in to read the names. Ore
Of the members requested him to read
a little louder He proceeded for about
ten minutes, when Mr.. Adams made a
request that the names be read slower
and more distinctly, as he was hard of
! hearing and wanted to catch the full
drift of the petition. This raised a
laugh at Mr.. Donaldson's expense, but
he went on. Some of the members
went out; others feigned sleep and
finally Representative Shorts stom.
ach got the better Of him at 12.30o'clock
and he moved that a recess be taken
until o'clock. His motion prevailed
for every body but Mr.. Donaldson was
exceedingly tired.

The committee decided to recommend

double the present appropriation and
the salary Of the Acknowledgement. Not
only that, but the bill will afford an
