COL. HAYS LECTURES
At the Opera House for the Benefit of the
Ells' Charity Fund.

At the Opera House for the Benefit of the
Elks' Charity Fund.
"Col. Edwin B. Hay is one of the
most pleasing public speakers | have
ever heard" said Hon John A. How
ard yesterday with his erudition
and eloquence, he unites a magnetic
presence and charming personality,
and these qualities have made him
one Of the most popular Elks in
the order, as we'll as a most prominent
figure in the annual conventions"
Col Hay will deliver his two fam
Gus lectures at the Opera House next
Wednesday for the benefit of the
charity fund of Wheeling Lodge of
Elks, and deserves crowded houses.
His afternoon subject will be Swift
zerland and the Alps" and his theme
at night, Rome the Eternal City"
Both lectures will be illustrated by
magnificent stereopticOn views. Of a
recent lecture in Allegheny, the Lead
er of that city says:
THE lecturers talk carried one
through and around everything of any
interest whatever that had made the
ancient Rome famous and the mistress
of the world And the beauties and
the rare treasures of antiquity that
adorn the Rome of to-day priceless in
their value, and that reveal the very
apotheosis of the artistic touch IL
tapestry paintings, mosaics, statuary
architectures and the like were shown
as beautifully and as distinctly ss if
one stood before them The views
were wonderfully fine and many of the
bits of statuary looked as if they
we're there before the eye in the mar
BILE lines of beauty instead of being
thrown in image by the cunning of
the photographer and the electrician.
This came partly from the clever ar
rangement or perhaps the strength of
the lights in the original photograph.
The effect was of the most beautiful
and yet the softest of high lights and
shadows. This was noted particularly
in some of the tombs in St. Peters,

THE EQUITABLE LIFE'S ANNUAL.
STATEMENT

The annual statement Of the Equit-
able Life Insurance Society of the
United States, published to-day, shows
the prosperity of the Company. It's
business has increased, its affairs have
been economically conducted. and its
surplus has grown to $50, 43,17484
This surplus is ascertained by the
New York Insurance Department, on
the standard which assumes that the
Company will earn per cent on its
assets throughout the future, but the
advantage of the Equitable is that on
the more eXaeting assumption that
the prevailing rate OF interest may be
as low as 3 per cent it still has a sur
plus Of over $4,000 GOO In this par
ticular Of strength the Equitable
seems to be unique After paying to
its policyholders during 1897 SCI .106.-
31414, the Company has increased its
assets to S236, S76. 3GS04 AS life in
surance policies generally run many
years into the future. financial
strength and conservative manage
ment are a necessity in the company
issuing them, and in this respect the
Equitable Life Insurance Society
stands first. That it is widely appre-
ciated is shown by the fact that its
outstanding assurances amount to

'In spite OF the fact that / had nearly
1000 men Continuously at work on the
roads, they we're at times impossible
''The san Juan and Aguadores roads
would often suddenly rise 90 as to pre-
vent the passage OF wagons, and then
the eight pack trains with the COM
mand had to be depended upon for
the vlctuallihg Of my army IS well as
the 10000 refugees, who cuuld not in the
intereSts OF humanity, be LEFT to starve
while we had rationS.
"Often for days nothing could be
moved except on pack trains.
After the great physical strain and
exposure OF July / and 2, the malarial
and other tevera began to rapidly ad-
vance throughout the command, and on
July 4 the yellow fever appeared at
slboney. Though efforts were made to
keep this fact from the army, 1t soon
became known.
THE supply OF uuartermaster and
commIssary stores during the campaign
was abundant and notwithstanding the
difficulties In landing and transporting
the rations. the troops on the firing lines
were at all times supplied with Its
coarser componentS, namely, OF bread,
meat, sugar and coffee.
"There was no lack OF transportation,
for at no, time up to the surrender
could all the wagons had be used.
Sick aud Wounded.
"1n reference to the sick and wound
ed, have to say that they received ev.
cry attention that It was possible 70
give them. The medical oficers with
out exception, worked night and day to
alleviate the suffering, which was no
greater than invariably accompanies q
campaign. It would have been better II
We had more annbulareeA. but AZ many
were taken as was thought necessary,
judging from previous Campaigns.
"The discipline OF the command was
superb. and I wish 10. Invite attention TO
the fact that not an officer was brough:
TO trial bF courtmartiaL. and as far as
know, no enlisted men. This speaks
volumes for an army OF, this size and
in a campaign OF such duration
I'm conclusion, desire to express to
the members OF my stan mY thanks for
their efficient performance of all the
duties REQUIRED of them and the good
judgment and bravery displayed on all
occasions when demanded"
