HERRING ON ARCHITECTURE
First Lecture of Peoples Institute
Course Proves Most
Satisfactory.

Rev. II. c.. Herring, d. D., pastor Of the
First Congregational church, opened the en-
tertainment course Of the Peoples institute
last evening before a gathering that
augered well for the success OF the institute
work.
DIR. Herring talked on Architecture in
Omaha and Elsewhere" the speakers re-
marks being appropriately accompanied by
stereopticon views of representative Omaha
buildings and many of the famous struc-
lures of the world. The trend of DIR. Her
rings lecture was to inculcGse i'm the minds
OF his hearers an appreciation for such
buildings as have these five fundamental
qualities: Honesty, fitness, proportion, dura-
bility and adornment. The mission OF the
speakers message was TO raise the ideals
regarding all classes of buildings
Speaking from a worldwide viewpoint.
DR.. Herring deplored that the present eco
nomic conditions of the race were such as
to preclude the realization of the ideals
along building lines. 1.-THE bulk of men do
not know nor care to know very much re-
garding buildings. Before beginning the
lecture proper l would call us all to archi-
tectural repentance and speak as one who
feels ashamed OF the many ugly buildings
on all hands," began DR.. Herring.
The lecturer gave an interesting running
talk of the eight historic types of yarchi-
lecture, these being the Egyptian, Gtecian
Roman, Basilican, Byzantine, Romanesque
Gothic aRd the Renaissance. BY classifying
the historic buildings of the world Dr. Her
ring explained the evolution of architecture

PENN MUTUAL's PROSPEROUS YEAR
Personal Voting "A Feature OF Annual
| Election.

Election.
The retiring trustees of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance company were reelected
yesterday for term of three years. They
are Atwood Smith, Richard S. Brock, Ben
jamin Rowland, Samuel b. Stinson, w.
Beaumont Whitney. Charles ID. Barney.
John b. Morgan, Henry L. Davis and
Charles s. w. Packard.
While the company's annual report is in
process of compilation, it was announced
that more than sS6,OO0,00o in new business
was written during 1906, this being an in
crease Of 100000 over 1904.
Indicative OF the interest in the conduct of
all insurance corporations since the investi-
cations have been in progress, several hun
bred policyholders were present at the cleo
ton and cast their vote. Policyholders of
this city were out in force, and others were
present from oregon, California, Washing
ton, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio. and from all
the New England States. The company ac-
cepts no foreign business, consequently no
stock is held abroad.
Under provision of the company's charter,
policyholders are granted the privilege of
voting only in person. No proxies are per-
mitted. AS result there is little proba-
bility Of any person or clique getting posses
sion of the management of the company's
affairs. The number of votes allowed each
policyholder is granted according to the
amount of premiums paid during the year
preceding each election. This action fully
protects each member of the company and
further aids in preventing one-man, control.
Another safeguard is added by rule OF the
company which prevents a member from
obtaining a preponderance of Insurance and
the accompanying voting power.
The company was formed in 1S47, and al
though II has no capital stock, being q
mutual corporation. It's assets aggregate
more than s70o0o.0 900 and 1t has a surplus OF
more than 100000. The membership of its
board of trustees Is not confined to Phila-
delphia, some residing In the New England
states, Maryland, Virginia and in several
western states.
| Secretary Kingsley I'm discussing the af-
fairs of the corporation, said: 1.-THE officers
! and trustees are much pleased with the
showing made by the Penn Mutual Life
during the last year. The annual report
will be ready for publication within few
days Being conservative ever since or
ganization, the officers of the company feel
confident the policyholders are content to &c
along slowly and safe, as has been done
We are gratifed with the interest displayed
by the policyholders at the election of trus-
tees this, year. Nine trustees are elected
each year for term OF three years
LAS a compliment to the present manage
ment, It can be said that every retirins
trustee was reelected by unanimous vote
Many local policyholders did not vote. al
though they take an active interest in tn.
corporations affairs."-From Public Ledger
of Philadelphia, January ?. 1906.
