LIFE INSURANCE AFFAIRS.

New York, July 13.-It is not likely
that the other large life insurance COM
panies will follow the action of the
New York Life Insurance company
which yesterday amended its bylaws
so as to provide for the sale of all its
holdings in stock. The company's hold
ings in this line do not exceed $4,000,000
it was said to-day, while some of the
other companies own investment stocks
amounting to from $20,000,000 to $780,
100000. 1t is understood that the sale
of these stocks of the New York Life
Is not to take place at once, but will
be spread over a period Of at least two
years,
The attitude of certain foreign gov
ernments under whose jurisdiction the
New York Life does business was the
primary cause in leading President Nc
Call to take the step governing the
investment of the company's funds. In
the financial district it is a well known
fact that ever since Mccall assumed
the presidency of the company it has
been but small buyer Of stocks and
has refused to make loans on such col

RECEIVES TESTIMONIAL.
Of Regard from 100 Members OF


Of Regard from 100 Members of
PIainville Church.
Rev. J. E. Herman of this city, late
pastor of the Congregational church in
Planvlle, has received testimonial res
buttons signed by 100 members of his
former congregation expressing their
high regard and esteem for him as a
pastor, and sustaining him in the con-
troversy which is and has been for
some months prevailing in the church
The controversy appears to have origi-
mated over the publication of a report
or sta tement regarding the finances of
the church, and Mr.. Herman says tho
publication of the statement did not
emanate from him and that it was not
his intention to have it given publicity.
Mr.. Herman was at one time assistant
pastor of the Davenport Congregational
church in this city and is now residing
on Edwards street here. He graduated
from class of SIS Yale divinity
school, and studied afterward in Leip-
sic, receiving handsome scholastic hon
ors there. Some time ago he taught
school in Chicago.
While Mr. Herman has been out of
the church since May / the church has
not given him letter Of dismissal. lie
protested against the action of the
church and will now invite a council
of the churches to act upon the letter.
Mr. Herman says that he would I'M
doubtedly get his letter from the coun-
ell The church in Plainville will be
invited to participate.
AT the meeting of the church Tuesday
night there was stormy time and
members of one faction, in an attempt
to break up the meeting, extinguished
the lights.
The troubles which resulted in Mr.
Herman sending in his resignation COM
menced in January last. Among the
wealthy and most influential members
of the church is E. H. Freeman, who IS
president of the Welch Clock company
in Forestville. Mr.. Freeman was not
reelected to the board of trustees at
the annual meeting in January, for
what reason no one knows. Mr.. Her
man denies that he had anything to do
with the dropping Of Mr.. Freeman
from the board of trustees.

Philadelphia, July 13.-Chief Wilkie
of the secret service and his assistants
are hard at work endeaVoring to find a
band of counterfeiters who are flooding
southwestern Pennsylvania and South
Jersey with spurious half dollars. The
coins are dated 1898 and the eagle on the
reverse side is poorly done, but the coin
being purposely made TO resemble one
that is much worn, the defect is only
noticeable after close examination. I'M
der the head of Liberty on the bogus
coin is the letter 3d.. whereas the mint
letter of that year is IS" The coins are
made of copper and plated with slight
wash of silver.
Information in possession of the Sc
cret service men leads to the belief that
the headquarters of the makers of the
bad money is in New York. Several
dies have been used in order to make
the scheme more successful. The coins
are dated 1854, 1898 and 1895, and the
earlier dated coins carry on the OBJ
verse side the figure of Columbia in
sitting posture those of later date
bearing only the wreathed head Of Lib
