ance Company for the first two
months of 1884, as compared to
the same period for 1888, was re-

ting even a better average by Mon
day, March S, being the biggest
single day in the history Of the
company. On that day there were
more than 300 applicants for
nearly million dollars worth of
insurance, according to Mr.. Hall.
