STORY OF THE STRUGGLES
OF SHIPWRECKED CREW.
Only Two Out of Nine Managed to
Reach Shore Alive.


London, Dec. "A story of terrible
experience is told by the two surviv-
ors of the crew of nine of the steamer
Blanche, which was sunk in the Mersey
river in a collision Wednesday night.
They escaped in a life boat, which
Immediately was dashed against the
sinking steamer, three of the seamen
being drowned. The remaining six
righted the boat and rowed away, but
were buffeted by the waves, which
soon filled the boat with freezing wa
ter. Two more died of exposure.
Again the boat was capsized, but
the four survivors by superhuman eff
forts, managed to scramble in again.
Though almost dead from cold, they
renewed their efforts to reach shore,
but two more succumbed before, at 3
O'Clock Thursday morning, the life
boat struck shore at Formby and the
two survivors painfully dragged the
boat and its gruesome cargo through
the surf to land, after having been
seven hours in the boat without food
or water.

Russian Loan of $500. .OoO. 900.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The bankers here
expect that the new Russian loan of
$3.50, 900 will be issued this or next
month. A syndicate of French banks
will take approximately $100, ,000, 900
and the German banks 100000, 900. The
bankers say there is an unusual
abundance of French money for the
close of the year, the prevailing dis
count rate being per cent. This
leads to the belief that the new loan
will be readily taken up at nearly par,
or above 9S1a.

Total premiums paid are 81, 222.b0. have had
this insurance for ID years, and now, rs ! understand
II, you propose to return 10 me all I have paid your
Company and s2i5 In addition. This seems like IA
most advantageous settlement and adjustment for

Union was n new company. II was controlled, how
ever, by vigorous and active young men of integrity
and capacity, and thought to take my chances
although your assets were small. Now ! scc by

agemcnt, however, the policy holders have a safe

Hon. Frank ID. Jackson, Pres. Royal Union Mutual
Life Insurance Company, Des Moines, Iowa.
DEAR SIR: Through the influence OF your Mr.. T..
A. Fox, I have Investigated your Company aud some
of the results under its policies. II seems these re-
suits have been universally satisfactory, judging
from the policy holders letters, and the fact that the
Company Is operated under the Insurance Laws of
Iowa is, I think, an additional safeguard. 1t seems
that the Iowa law requires that the funds of the
Company be invested in notwithstanding securities
such as government bonds and farm mortgages and
II seems that the greater part Of this Company's In
vcstments are In the latter, aud rs a good part Of
these are held on Missouri land ! do not think there
can be any better security to the policy holders.
These securities are are also deposited with the State
Auditor OF Iowa as evidenced by his certificate. The
writer was 30 iavorably impressed with the above
features that Mr.. Fox had very little trouble In sccur-
ing my application for 5000 insurance. I can see no
reason why this Company should not continue to
give good returns to the policy holders, as from the
insurance reports I notice their interest earnings are
larger than eastern companies.
Yours very truly,

II the United States Government. were to offer
to sell you, at par, govcrnm cnt bonds to the amount
Of ten thousand dollars, bearing ( per cent. interest
and let you pay for the bonds in fifteen or twenty
equal annual installments, would you turn such n
proposition down?
II the Government would go still further, and
offer TO sell you these bonds aud let you pay for
them In either fifteen or TWEEN ty equal annual INSTALL
ments, and charge you no interest on deferred pay
ments, would you accept the proposition?
Further: II the government would make you
such a proposition, and also agree to insure the
bonds, so that II you should die any time after you
paid the first i~nstallment, the bonds, or the face
value of them, would go to your estate In cash, you
would be still more inclined to accept the pro posi-
ton, would you not?
Bonds similar to the above are offered In
amounts from $1,000 to 10000, on which the
guarantee Is to pay not less than 4 per cent.
annual interest. The law of the State under which
the Company is Incorporated keeps on deposit IN
the public vaults approved Notwithstanding sccuri-
ties in an amount to make good all guarantees.
The guarantee also il that II death should
occur after you have paid one i%nstallment on the
bonds, and the same are still in force, the Company
will pay not less than the face, to your beneficiary.
IL you are Interested drop me a card and will
either call on you In person or send a representative
to see you within a few days, II you will grant "a
few minutes of your time for an explanation of this
proposition. There may be a limit to the time this
