Forty-Three Millions of Surplus.

The surplus of any life insurance
company is not only the measure OF
financial strength but is also the fund
from which all dividends TO policy
holders must be paid. 1t represents,
therefore, both security and profits.
The record of the Equitable excels all
other life insurance companies in all
things that advance the best interests
of policy holders. The published state
ments of several companies show that
the Equitable has over 13,000,0 00
moro surplus than any other company
in the world. That its ratio of assets
to liabilities are larger than those OF
any other; that its surplus earnings
during the last ten years have been
larger than those of any other com
pany; that it issues all the most ap-
proved forms OF policies with guaran-
tees backed by the largest surplus and
largest demonstrated earning power,
The record of the past is the best
guarantee of the future.
Assets, S216, 773,947.
Liabilities, s173, 496, 76s.
Surplus, A per cent, S43,277 ,179.

BLAND ON THE MESSAGE.
Sent in With the knowledge That
Congress Would Not Act Upon It.

LEBANON, Mo-, July 27.-McKinley's
message on the currency question
which was communicated to Congress
during it's closing hours was evidently
sent in with the knowledge that Con-
gress would not act upon it. The on
ly apparent reason for it is the effect
it might have on the approaching
elections in Ohio and other states.
AS for the tariff bill, the effect OF
that will be to strengthen the monop-
olies and trusts, to drive all manufac-
turing into the hands of a few. It will
not increase the price of wages, but

to a st. Louis Star representative OF
his distress, and, frankly and fully,
described the shooting of the despoil-

counter at which he learned of his
daughters ruin.
"Dr. Norris or his friends sought to
buy my honor" declared the old man.
81 don't car to name the man who
made the proposition. 1t was not DR..
Norris himself, although he did make
such a proposition that night at my
home. But, afterward, a man came
to me with a set price, $4,000, for my
honor.
est was not the death he deserved
that he feared 80 much as the disgrace

the talk Of the man who approached

"Because I was old and held my

physically cowed. / shot him in the
back for that reason. I meant to kill
him. He was strong and powerful and
went armed. If I had given him warn

sorry.
"I did try to shoot him a second
time. I wanted to kill him, and now
1 would prefer that he were dead. II

The old man barred his arm where
the mark of Norris bullet fired in de-
Tense is still visible.
"He begged me to desist the night
climbed the ladder and found him il
my home. He suggested a money
settlement, even while we struggled
He didn't know Daniel Rose"
Rose says that the coat and vest

Husband Sues For Divorce.

Thos. O. Moore asks for a divorce
from his wife, Sarah. They were mar.
ried on Oct. 81, 1856, and lived to.
gether until Feb. IA, 1895, upon which
date, the plaintiff alleges, she, without
reasonable cause, absented and sepa-
rated herself from him and so re-
manned.
In the petition asking for legal sep
aration the plaintiff states that his
wife was careless and neglectful in
the performance of her household
duties, she was u%ncleanly and filthy
and vas given to the habit of strong
drink, she also used rude and offensive
language. There are no children, and
the defendant is a nonresident of the
State. The plaintiff is an engineer and
works at the brick yard. McIntire &
McIntire are the plaintiffs attorneys.
The petition closes with the following:

The Equitable is the Strongest.


surance Society, Nashville, Tenn.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July 90
DEAR SIR: Replying to your request
that I write you a few lines concern
ing my policies in the Equitable, will
say that I carry several policies in
your company, amounting in all to
$50, 600. The first of these was for s5,-
600, taken out in 1886; the next policy
was taken out in 1887, next in 1888 and
the last in 1889. Ihave paid into your
company, on these policies, $13 $3.50 to
date; and, while this may eem to
some men to be a good deal of money
to be paid for life assurance, I wish to
say that I consider this the safest and
best Investment I have. II I had not
taken these policies and carried them
through all these years, the money
which has been paid on them would
probably have gone into my business
and into different avenues of expense,
and none of it could be made available
at this time. AS it is, in addition to
Sho PAotSSG1OA Wh2CA bu05C pOlIClC6
have given me, 1 find that I am now
entitled to paid up policies amounting
to 1880 should /, for any reason,
wish to stop paying. Furthermore, 1
am steadily approaching the time
when, if I live, the money which I
have paid on these policies will begin
to come back to me. Should I die be-
fore that time my family will have
$50, 200 ready cash, which I could hard
ly provide for them in any other way.
The agents of other companies have
time and again worried me no little in
trying to persuade me to take policies
in their companies, but I prefer the
Equitable to all others. My reason is
simply this: I believe the Equitable
to be the strongest financial institu-
ton of its kind in the world, and that
1t is better able to carry out its con-
tracts, and shows a better disposition
to do so than any other company. Its
management, while being liberal to
its policy holders, is exceedingly safe,
and I most heartily approve of its
business methods, and only wish that
all my other investments were en-
trusted in the hands Of men as con-
sentative and wise as the managers of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Mr.. j. N. jackson, of our firm, also
carries six policies in your company.
We are always glad to speak a good
word for the Equitable to our friends.
Yours very truly,
G.. W. Davenport.

Here are the separate amounts OF

consumers must carry for the first
