TingIey.
CEREMONIES OF SEVERAL ORDERS
Costumes Worn at Initiations-Fair
Leaders, View OF the Way to
Feed Babies.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 24-Tn the
Tingley- Times libel suit yesterday the
deposition of DR.. J. A. Anderson, of
San Francisco, once a member of the
Tingley cabinet, was finished. Ander-
son described his initiation into the
Society Of Lost Mysteries of Antiquity
He said all who were present sat on
canvas and were supposed to be TAX
ing part in very ancient ceremony.
All were dressed in light muslin cos
tunes, and the rite was solemnized
i'm the open air. Describing the initia-
ton Anderson said it consisted chiefly
of Mrs. Tingley telling of her dog Spot,
and what the dog had done. Then
Mrs. Tingley ate some fruit which was
supposed to be very mysterious sym
Dol and part Of the high initiation
which was taking place.
Great Dog, That Dog Spot
Anderson then told how he was
made member Of the Order of the
Rising Sun--a son of the rising sun.
The chief feature of this initiation was,
he said, that a candidate held a sun
flower. Therewas another order known
as the Ancient Order of Scribes, which
wa9 very high. Anderson related in
some detail what Mrs Tingley had
said Of the dog Spot" Mrs. Tingley,
he said, had related how she was very
blue and cast down and that Spot had
gone to heap of letters on the floor
and picked out one from DR.. Allen
Griffin which greatly comforted her.
Costumes That We're Worn.
In describing the ceremonies the de-
ponent said there were a great num-
ber of them. In some those who took
part went about barefoot, but they
varied so that it would take much time
to describe them. Anderson said when
Mrs. Tingley went to welcome her Wis
itOrs she wore large purple robe that
gave her a queenly appearance. De
scribing the sacred coStume-such as
was worn to welcome a bridal couple
married at the homestead-Dr Ander-
son said it was something like skirt,
but rather longer THE one / wore"
he said, was like a wrap belted at
the waist. Men and women wore about
the same"

The Travellers Insurance company
up to January /, 1902, had paid policy
holders claims amounting to $46,083,-
S6S.05, and will pay policy holders
this year between four and five million
dollars.
The Travellers ranks first for prompt
payment of claims. as an illustration
of this. the late John w. Sullivan
formerly of Pine Bluff held a TRAY
elers life policy for $4,000 On Decem-
ber /. 1901, he died at Newport, Ark,
on December Is Mrs. Sullivan notified
the company of his death; on Decem
Der %, just ten days after, Mrs. Sulli-
van received draft for the policy.
The Travellers issues all the stand
ard forms OF guaranteed policies, and
issues them for about 20 per cent less
premium than is charged by other
standard companies writing business
in Pine Bluff The Travellers write a
fifteen payment policy for the same
rate as the mutual companies (such
as the New York Life, Mutual Life,
Equitable and Massachusetts J
charge for q mutual twenty
payment life policy, the saving
of five full years premiums and
getting through paying premiums to
the company in fifteen years instead
of twenty years means great deal to
a policy-holder.
The line of policies written by the
Travellers include ten, fifteen and
twenty premium policies, S per cent
gold bonds and endowment policies.
Fhe endowment policies of the
| Travellers operate in the same way as
putting money in savings bank, the
policy holder is insured all the time
he is depositing premiums with the
company and in addition to the insur'
ance, he receives interest on every
dollar he pays them.
Supposing a man is thirty years OF
age and takes twenty year $4,000
in the Travellers. If he dies before he
is fifty years old the company pays
his family $4,000 in cash, but if he
lives to be fifty years old he himself
draws the $4,000 in cash. Should he
not want it all in cash the company
will pay him a cash dividend of s..
920, and then at his death pay his
family $4,000. making total Of $14,
92O.
All policies of the Travellers are
written with the latest non-forfeitable
| features, and if on account of inabil
ity to pay premium the insured does
not lose what he has already paid the
company. To illustrate this on the
