A Clerks Mistake.

A clerk in the National bank of
Moorestown, n. J., recently closed the
safe for the day without first starting
the time lock which operates the COM
bination. This omission was not dis
covered until the next morning, when
all efforts to open the safe were futile
At last a telegram was sent to the safe
makers in Cincinnati. A man was i'm
mediately sent on. He said that the only
way to open the safe was to start the
clock. He called for a large piece OF
timber-all that several men could han
die.
Six strong men set at work with 1t 20

clock. After many attempts the time
piece was set going. Then there was
nothing to do but to wait until the CLOCK
ran the required number OF hours linen
the door was readily opened.

Increased Everything Except Ex-
penSeS.

The annual statement of the Equit-
able Life Assurance society of the
United States. published today, forms
an exhibit of prosperity and strength
unequalled in the history of life as
5urance. Notwithstanding the hard
times, this company has lowered it's
rate of expenses and increased its
business in every essential way. The
keynote of prosperity in a life assur-
ance company, as well as in every
other enterprise, is the surplus earned.
The Equitable, after paying to its pol
icy holders during the year in various
ways, nearly twenty-five million dol
lars, has increased its assets from two
hundred and one million dollars, TO
over two hundred and sixteen million
dollars, of which over forty-three mil
lion dollars is surplus. No institution
of the kind in existence has a surplus
at all approaching this amount, al
though some have greater liabilities
AS life assurance contracts have the
popularity of running for many years
into the future, strength and conserv-
alive management arc of greater i'm
pcrtance than any other features, and
in these respects the Equitable stands
pre-eminent.

that Mr.. Gage when first mentioned

this city.
Many out-of-town bankers urged
Mr.. Gage to accept the position
Among them were: Seymour Dexter
of Elmira, president of the New York

of Buffalo, with seven or eight other
Buffalo bankers, and George NJ. Trout
man, president of the Central bank of
