THE REoRoANlZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers Of
the company, the Board has. adhered
to the idea that life insurance com.
pany should be managed by life In.
surance men. The new president Is
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man Of good New England stock. who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than q
quarter Of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. p. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business In
Europe, Is one Of the second vice pres
ldents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been In
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their, contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true In the New York
Life to any great extent. The com.
pany had 81, 000, 900, 900 insurance on
It's books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150. 000, 900 year (which is about
one;half the New York Life formerly
did,, the company's outstanding bust.
ness still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action Of the
Board, as 1t places at the head Of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

FOR WORKING WOMEN.
Worthy Scheme for Higher Education
That Is Unique.

In London there is a college for
working women, the aim of which is
to supply women occupied during the
day with a higher education than is
generally within their reach. The
whole OF the teaching stan is unpaid,
and the college, which has existed for
81 years, owes its being and its pres
ent success to Miss Frances Martin,
who is It's honorary secretary, and
has devoted lifetime to it's interests.
In connection with the college there
IS benefit club, penny bank and
the rooms in the college for reading
and refreshment practically make it
delightful clubhouse for girls who are
engaged during the day. There are
several social clubs, and during the
winter monthly dances and Dorcas
meetings are held, says the Chicago
Daily News. The special classes in
ambulance and dressmaking are ex-
ceedingly popular with the members
