Chase, President. . WASHINGTON. July 21. Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. -wife of a former Governor cf Rhode Island, and the dauchter of the late Salmon P. Chase. Governor of Ohio,' United States senator and chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, died at her homestead, Edgewood, la Washington's suburbs, early this morning. She was fiftynine years old. For three months she had teen suffering with a complication of liver and kidney troubles, but had consented to medical treatment only ten days ago. She grew steadily worse and the end came a lew minutes after 3 o'clock this morning. At the bedside were her three daughtersMiss Kittle Sprague, who lived with her mother; Miss Portia Sprague, of Narragancett Pier, and Mrs. Donaldson, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The funeral arrangements have not" been completed, but the remains probably will be interred at Columbus. O., her father's old home. Kate Chase began a brilliant social career when her father, Salmon P. Chase, then a widower, was elected Governor of Ohio. When Mr. Chase was made secretary of the treasury, under Lincoln, and the family moved here, his daughter was soon acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful women of the capital. Two years after the outbreak of the war she was married to the young Governor of Rhode Island, William Sprague. When Governor Sprague was elected to the Senate their home was a gathering place of the foremost men and women of that day. At the height of the social and political success which they had attained a domestic cloud made Its appearance, resulting in a divorce and her return to Washington. Kate Chase Spragr. was the daughter of Salmon P. Chase by his second wife. She was born in 1S40, and was Just twenty when her father became secretary of the treasury. Her figure was magnificent and her beauty of face undeniable. No princess could be more haughty and self-contained than this girl, fresh from school. In receiving as her father's guests the soldiers and statesmen who were upholding the cause of the Republic. -HER GREAT AMBITION. Her father had already manifested a desire for the presidential chair and his daughter gave her soul and future happiness to the promotion of this cause. She began cautiously and shrewdly to make' a party and gain supporters to that end. But curiously enough, while capable of. Influencing men favorably... she .could see no good in making friends among her own sex. and. save socially,. neglected them altogether, and they hated her. bhe became the wile of --the- millionaire ' Senator Sprague on Nov. 12, 1S53. and hl3 wealth was lavishly used by her to forward her ambition to make her father President. They had four children, and young William Sprague, her only son, committed suicide after he had been divorced and penniless. In a laborer's tent in the suburbs of Tacoma. Her three daughters still live. Her death will revive the dramatic story of the Spragues. their princely wealth and sway In the sixties and seventies, their political and their social. touch with the great men cf the period of reconstruction; with Blaine, TUden, Butler. Conkllng. Greeley, Grant, Garfield. Chase and a host of others. It also revives all tho old stories, slanders, divorce and suicide during the heyday of Kate Chase Sprague. the Governor's first wife, enl her brilliant social leadership, involving, as It did, the diplomatic, social and official life of Washington, and ramifying Its Influence to the greater courts of Europe. Many of the actors in the superb play of that time are now alive only in the -Nation's memory; noma are. still .wearing out the sere of their splendid, lives, and some, as in the Instance of Governor Sprague, have retired belore the force of time s inexorable decrees. With only a hidden farewell to thoe dear to him by blood, the once daring Sprague left his country two years ago with his young second wife, ambitious to be a prima donna, with the avowed intention of hereafter living in Europe, in France, perhaps In Italy; anywhere the caprice of "Mme. Sprague'. and her .musical, ambition may dictate. The tale of these strange lives, of Canonchet, their home at Narragansett Pier, the disintegration of a distinguished American family and the terrible tarnish of social and conjugal disruption, cf suicide.- divorce, elopement. Intrigue and romance array themselves In annals stranger than fiction. With Sprague's brilliant marriage began the social career which has sent the name of Chase-Sprague to the greatest salons of Europe and America. Kate Chase in that day was accounted the roost brilliant woman In the society of her own country. She was beautiful, she was a diplomat of marvelous methods, the homage of the greatest statesmen of that time was hers, she was the queenly leader of .Washington's social and official life. She was ambitious and she CLEAR GGHPlEiiiUi!

Showers. wielded her power and the Influence of her great place and charming' personality as no other woman In this country had ever wielded such forces. She had marrlid Will Sprague and the power of his millions was ingrafted upon her own. And what was her quest? The older generation will recall the plot and lnterplotting of those years to make Salmon P. Chase President of tho United States. The fact that this great ambition of a daughter was never gratified was probably the precursory element of that adverse fate which has relentlessly pursued and gnawed the heart cut of every Spragua ambition felt since that time. EVENTS AT CANONCHET. Early In her married life Kate ChaseSprague built the now famous Canonchet on an estate of 400 acres at Narragansett Pier. The house was at that time the grandest mansion on either coast. It stands cn the favorite camping ground of Canonchet, chief of the Narragansett tribe of Indians. It cost $1,000,000. Its furnishings were brought from the stores of many countries. ' It la a palace within, strangely, voluptuously featured, a labyrinth of halls, nooks, salons chambers, towers, eerie dens, a theater, library and sixty-eight rooms. It has 140,000 worth of hand carving in the dining room and other appointments of a similar extravagance. It stands to-day dark, but proud; the bier of its former hospitality to the distinguished men and women of two continents. Horace Greeley used to tumble in there and toast his pedals before the library grate; Conkllng's name is indelibly stamped upon the place and time. Those were the days of Canonchet's splendor, a splendor which o'erdazzled William Sprague and often made him dream of the simpler, robust affections Of life, away from the glittering whirl of fashion. Those were the days of three months' yachting cruises to Africa and Indian shores, x and expense accounts, aboard, of 1100.000 a month. Ben Butler had known Canonchet's Inmost cloisters; Garfield had met colleagues there; Tllden had dined at Its brilliant board; in fact, it was the rendezvous of the greatest men and women of that time. Its streams and shooting blinds on the coast have afforded sport to many; Frank Moulton, of "mutual friend" fame, visited there, and Beecher was a frequent guest. This is the estate with its mile of beach and Its primeval features of a magnificent landscape, which was announced as for sale In 1892 by lime. Inez Sprague, who succeeded to Its possession when she married the Governor in 1883. Meantime Kate Chase had retired to Washington with her three daughters. Following soon after his wife's divorce. Frank Calvert committed culclde. Mrs. Sprague was still a beautiful woman. Her physical attributes and serene, queenly manner drove her admirers to madness. Before Calvert killed himself report had it that a prominent Southerner called on her one evening and shot himself while sitting at her piano. Mrs. Sprague made her home at Edgewood, a country place which had been left her by her father. Here she resided ever since. Financial reverses clouded her later years, tho homestead was mortgaged and disaster was impending when a year ago old friends came to her rescue, raised the mortgage and arranged-for her an allowance of $3,000 a year. Brier. Gen. Nelson A. Gole. ST. LOUIS, July 31. Brigadier General Nelson A. Gole, a hero of .two wars, died at his home in this city to-day after a lingering illness. He went into the civil war a captain of the Missouri Volunteers and came out a colonel. He had charge of the expedition in southeast Missouri and captured Fort Jackson. He participated in many of the great battles of the war with distinction, at one time acting as chief of artillery on General Pleasonton's staff. At the outbreak of tho Spanish-American war he was among the first to receive the appointment as brigadier general, being assigned to the Third Brigade, Second Division at Camp Alger. He was subsequently transferred to the camp at Columbia, S. C, and was mustered out owing to ill health. Sir Philip Mnnfleld. LONDON, July Sl.-Sir Philip Manfield, who was mayor of Northampton lnS92, and who represented Northampton in Parliament in the Liberal Interest from 1891 to 1S95, Is dead, aged eighty years.

CHICAGO, July 31. There Is war in the executive beard of the Hotel and Restau-' rant Employes' International Alliance and Bartenders International League of America, and it Is said an effort will be made to oust General Secretary Fred E. Dressier. President Joseph R. Michaels, of Syracuse; Second Vice President Jere L. Sullivan, of St. Louis; Third Vice President 'Joseph Laycock, of Boston: Fifth Vice President George W. Brown, of Cincinnati, and Sixth Vice President Louis Remler, of East St. Louis, arrived In Chicago to-day and proceeded to the national headquarters to hold a meeting. Secretary Dressier told them tho meeting had not been regularly called; that the visitors were interlopers, that he would not give up the books or papers until a meeting had been regularly called and that they could not hold their meeting in the office. He threatened to use force, if necessary, to prevent them doing so. Then the olhcers, with the exception of Remler, who took the same grounds as the secretary, went to the Breevort House and held a consultation. Secretary Dressier says he proposed to hold on to his office. It is said that the secretary will be charged with failing to respond to letters and forward receipts for money sent him. Also that he has failed to carry out the instructions of the committee of the American Federation of Labor to make a financial report on the loth day of each month. Dressier says he could not do this because many of the secretaries who sent him money did not inform him in their first letters whether the money had been received from dues. Initiations or cards, or was to pay for supplies. THROUGH A BARN, Explosion of a Threshing Engine Killed Six Men. WHITE CLOUD.

HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE

CUBANS DO NOT BELIEVE UNITED STATES WILL VACATE. Opinion of Gen. Carpenter, Who Was Nine Months 3IIIltnry Governor of Puerto Principe. NEW YORK, July 31. Brigadier General 1m H. Carpenter, who was military governor of the province of Puerto Principe, Cuba until the recent merging of that province into the military department of Santiago, arrived in this city on the Munscn line steamer Olinda. When the two provinces were united he was mustered out of the volunteer service and assumed his former rank as colonel of the Fifth United States Cavalry, which is now stationed in Porto Rico. Col. Carpenter was seen last evening at the Murray Hill Hotel by a Tribune reporter. He is well bronzed and the picture of health. About Cuba, her climate, her resources, her people and her future he Is enthusiastic. "My term as military governor of Puerto Principe," he said, "extended over a period of nine months. In that time I had a very good opportunity to study the Cubans, and I must say that I found them to be a docile, kind and faithful sort of people. They are senUmental. however, to the Jast degree, and this sentimentality is causing them to chafe a good deal under the American yoke. Among tho classes which furnished the soldiers, the leaders and the patriots there la a strong desire for immediate Independence. These men have nothing to lose and they are set on establishing a government of their own. This desire may be augmented by the growing feeling of distrust of America. The opinion seems to be gaining ground that America does not Intend to vacate the island, and that all this talk about educat ing the people to self-government is simply a means of prolonging the deception. But among the wealthy men of the country and the Spaniards no such feeling exists. They are Just as anxious for speedy annexation to the United States as the other class is for independence. They realize that annexation would mean free trade with the United States, whereas if they were independent they would be compelled to pay a heavy duty on their goods. There would be no market open to them, and the republic would find it a hard matter to woo prosperity. The Spaniards in Cuba I do not think a desirable class of citizens. They own nearly all the stores and are, almost without exception, well-to-do men. yet they never invest their money in Cuba. They hoard It or Invest it In Spain, and, consequently, they Impoverish rather than benefit the island. Havana, I believe, is the third largest port in the Western hemisphere, but, despite that fact, the city is poor because mo9t of the business is dona by Spaniards and they are not at all public spirited. "The province of Peurto Principe probably suffered more than any other from the devastations of war. It is next to Santiago province in size, but has always been sparsely settled, because of the lack of transportation facilities. Cattle raising has been the leading industry there. Before the rebellion began there were more than a million head of cattle in the province. Now I don't believe .there are twentv thmiRnnrt Moreover, the. ranchmen haven't the means to renew operations on the old scale. They are nnanciany ruined, capital must Le Introduced and employment must be fur nished for the thousands of men who earned their living on the big ranches. They flocked Into the city of Puerto Principe in hordes, and I gave them work as best I could on the sanitary imDrovements. I cleaned the city as well as it could be done with the money at my disposal, but Puerto Principe can never be healthful until it has a sewerage system and a water works. Both of these improvements would require a considerable expedlture, and I did not nave the means to attempt them. "Puerto Principe boasts of having some or me most aristocratic families in Cuba. Some of them are of noble lineage and have been In the city for 300 years. The city shows the decadence of the people. One might think he had been transported to the sixteenth century merely by , walking through the streets. A hundred years ago It was a very wealthy city. The planters lived in fine town houses and used their plantation mansions very much as people in this country do their country homes to day, insurrections and their consequences did away with all this, and now there is an air of departed splendor about the place tnat is depressing. "The proposed Cuban Central Railroad should be built at once. It would be a won derful boon to the country. Then there should be a railroad from the city of Puerto Principe south, to Santa Cruz. These two roads would not only furnish labor for the unemployed ard bring capital Into the province, but they would open up an immensely rich territory to agriculture. In fact. I believe this is the only way to re store Puerto Principe to its former degree of prosperity. BLAINE'S DIPLOMATIC TRICK Partly Responsible for Sir Wilfrid . Lnnrler's Success in Canada. WASHINGTON. July 31. The attitude of the Canadian governn.nt on the Alaskan boundary question has convinced officials here that back of it lies the vital issue of Canadian politics, as to how intimate re lations should be maintained with the United States. Incidentally, the relations between. Canada anJ Great Britain are In volved, as there have been many acute differences between London and Ottawa during the last two years' negotiations over Bering tea and the Alaskan boundary. These have developed extreme sensitiveness on the part of Canada as to the authority exercised over her by the home government. The question of Canada's proper position with regard to the United States has been an absorbing issue for the last ten years in the Dominion, and was the main factor in bringing Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the present premier. Into power. Laurier was the first to make prominent the issue of enlarging relations with the United States. Prior to that a policy of isolation had been pursued by fclr John MacDonald, leader of the Conservatives, who sought to make Canada a rival of this country and approached every dispute with the United States in a spirit of enmity. This brought on troubles over the Atlantic fisheries, the lake fisheries, Bering sea and other matters. Laurier, who had become the leader of the Liberals, attacked the government leaders for their constant warring with the United States instead of cultivating friendly relations. Canada was agitated from end to end over the question of "commercial union." as Laurier called it, and the policy of friendship became immensely popular. In self-defense the Conservative leaders sent a delegation to Washington, who conferred with Secretary Blaine as to reciprocity. They received a distinct rebuff from Mr. lilaine, but it is not so generally known that the reason for his action was because he knew Laurier was the coming force in Canadian affairs and was likely to succeed to the premiership and adopt a policy of genuine friendship toward this country. As soon as Laurier came Into power he took steps to redeem his pledge to the people to seek to promote cordial relations with this country. This explains the origin of the AngloAmerican commission, with Its many longstanding controversies to settle. ONE WAS HARD TO KILL Two Convict Executed In Electric Chair nt Sing-Sing. NEW YORK. July 31. Louis Pullerson and Michael McDonald were put to death by electricity in Sing Sing prison to-day. Pullerson, who was a colored man, was taken to the electric chair at 8:21 and a current of 1,720 volts strong was turned on at 8:22. After fifty-five seconds he was declared to be dead by the attending physicians. McDonald was put to death at 8:42, a current of 1,110 volts being turned on at that time, and It continued for sixty-five seconds. McDonald's body resisted the electric current mere than that of any other man put to death In Sing Sing. It took ten seconds longer to kill him than It did Pullerson. Louis Pullerson, a negro porter, twentyfive years old. on March 11. 1SSS. killed his common-law wife. Kate Smith, a white woman. In their apartments In New York by strangulation. After repeatedly warning

her against receiving the attentions of other men. he saw her with a white man and accused her of intimacy with him. After the murder Pullerson told the Janitor of the building that he had killed her. He said that, as the woman had been untrue, he thought he had a perfect right to kill her. Instead of giving himself up he fled, but was found by the police cn the following day. He was Indicted on March 29, convicted on June 27, 1SS8, and sentenced to be electrocuted on Aug. 15, 1898. Stays were secured from the court which delayed the execution nearly a year. Michael McDonald, a beef carrier, employed in the Eastman Company's slaughter house, in New York, cn May 4. 1K$, shot and killed Stephen Titus, the head timekeeper at Eastman's. McDonald, after spending his salary in drink, had returned

to the slaughter house and demanded several dollars which he claimed were due him for overtime. Titus told him to have the subtlmekeeper "O. K." his bill. McDonald's demands that the money be paid at once be ing rerused, he nred nve shots at Titus. McDonald ran away but was caught before he could leave the building. Titus died the same day. McDonald was Indicted May 20, 1E5S, and convicted on July 1, 1S9S. He was sentenced to be electrocuted on Aug. 22, 1S3S, Dut numerous stays were secured. HONOLULU NATIONAL BANK. The First of Its Kind Outside the United States Boundaries. SAN FRANCISCO. July 31. The first and only national bank outside of the continental boundaries of the United States is about to be established in Honolulu. Colonel McFarland, who was chamberlain to Queen Liliuokalanl, has arrived from the islands to perfect the organization of the bank and later to return with gold coin representing the stock subscribed for . by San Francisco and New York capitalists. A charter for the bank has already been procured from the United States government by Perry S. Heath, assistant postmaster general, but it cannot be used until Congress places the Hawaiian islands under the territorial laws of this country. In the meantime the new financial Institution will be known jns the First American Bank, a charter for"whIch has Just been granted by the Hawaiian government. The corporation Is capitalized at $1,000,000, and one-half of that amount will be in the vaults, as required by the banking laws of the island, when the bank opens its dcors. Sept. 1. FLOATING CURIO SHOP HOW ALASKAN EXPLORERS' STEAMER LOOKED ON ITS RETURN. Rare Birds and Anthropological Specimens Nevr Glacier Larger than Malr'a Discovered. SEATTLE, Wash., July 31.-When the steamer George W. Elder, which carried the Harriman scientific party to Alaska, arrived here yesterday she resembled a floating cu rioslty shop, stocked with everything Alaska, from a totem pole five feet through and sixty feet high to the minutest insect. Dr. C. Hart Merrlam, chief of the United States Biological Survey, said: "The prin cipal result of the voyage of the Harriman party to the northwest was. the collection of much valuable data regarding the distri button of animals and birds in the far north. Several Important discoveries were made. "On Hall Island and St. Matthew's island. for example, we found and collected many specimens of what 1 Is called the 'Arctic snowflake a most exquisite bird much re sembling the snow bunting. It is almost snow white, about the size of a robin and is of the bunting family. Heretofore the bird has been regarded as very rare and in the National Museum at Washington there are but a few poor specimens. But on both the Islands mentioned we fpund the bird in great numbers, and made complete collections of It end its nests and eggs. Here also we found the Lapland longspur, a northern sons bird, also very rare, in abundance. Another discovery was a yellow lemlng mouse, never found elsewhere, and of which the National Museum had but one poor specimen, we secured many more and stud led its habits. "William E. Ritter. president of the Cal ifornia Academy of Sciences and professor of zoology in the University of California, made a valuable collection of Invertebrates, many of which may prove entirely new." Henry Gannett, chief of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, devoted himself to a stuay or tne glaciers oi Alaska, many of which had never been mapped or named One of his discoveries is that the glaciers of Alaska are gradually retreating, due, he thinks, to climatic changes. Columbia glacier, discovered and named by the Harrl man party, is situated on Prince William sound. Hubbard glacier, also discovered by the Harriman party, is larger than Muir glacier and has a frontage of over five miles on Yakutat bay. Many new fiords, bays and inlets were discovered, mapped and named by Mr. Gannett. Dr. George B. Grlnnell. editor of Forest and Stream, said: "The most interesting incident of the voyage to my mind was at Bogoslof island, a great breeding place for sea birds In northern waters. They rest there on the cliffs in countless numbers. One interesting fact in regard to the fishing Industry I learned while in Alaska and that is that the salmon in the streams of the Territory are being rapidly exterminated. Some steps for the preservation of this fish should be taken before it Is too late." B. H Fournow, director of the New York State College of Forestry, made extensive research into the timber resources of Alaska, with results not flattering to that Territory. He says the timber resources of the Territory have been greatly over-estimated and that in reality the forests of Alaska will have little commercial value for years to come. "I was disappointed in not finding in Alaska many trees that I had supposed grew there," he said. "The totanistt of the expedition found few botanically interesting species." Edmonton Trail Party. VICTORIA, B. C., July 31. Dawson advices note the arrival there July 9 of a party that started over the Edmonton trail fourteen months ago. The party consisted of Capt. George Dunn, Edward Miller, Alfred B. Clegg, William Brownlow, James Wallwork, Charles Fowler, Huh Stevens and Henry Jackson. They endured tenible hardships. It is the first party that ras made the trip from the starting point on the Mackenzie river in the same to.it. The Yukon Council has decided to construct a seri-s of public highways. Wor'c is to be commenced without delay. Already J1C.000 has been appropriated for iho work, rr.d as much more has be;i pledged by mine owners. Substantial wagon roads will be constructed to all the principal creeks. EXPLORING PARTY LOST. Believed to Hare Met a Hostile Tribe of Indians In Brazil. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 31. A party of explorers, headed by two Kansas City men, Weldon E. Williamson and Marcus E. Kirk, in which was Alfred Greenfield, of Mapleton, Kan., which left this city in March. 1S98. and have not been heard from since June 1S3S, is now believed to have been exterminated by a hostile tribe of Indians in the western part of Brazil, whither it went In search of great rubber forests in the interests of Kansas City capital. Secretary Hay, of the State Department, has notified the United States consuls in Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro and other South American capitals to make immediately a thorough investigation and report all results. L. B. Price, of this city, who furnished the financial backing for the expedition, has sent Frank Greenfield, brother of one of the lost men, to make search. While Mr. Price is not yet willing to believe that the members of the party have perished, he is very anxious about them. A letter received here to-day from Mrs. Edwin R. Overman, of Salisbury, a sister of Mr. Williamson, gives her belief that the men have been killed. Mrs. Williamson, who went to Brazil a year ago to hunt for her husband, has returned to this country and now believes him dead, as does Mrs. Kirk, who is now in Chicago with hr parents. f 230,000 Hailstorm.

AMERICAN CENTRAL

Life Insurance Company. A Strong and Promising Or ganization. Life Insurance, as now conducted by the standard companies in this country. Is based upon certain well-defined principles of life expectancy and Interest. There is little if any variation from year to yeas In the per cent, of mortality among healthy life in surance subjects of a given age. Any one who will take the pains to examine the per cent, of death rate on insurance In force In the thirty well-managed and conserva tive life insurance companies doing business in this country will find the variation In such rate very slight. Where a heavy per cent, of death rate is found it may gen erally be traced to careless or imperfect medical service. The death rate and rate of Interest that may be secured on the premium paid into tho company are the leading factors In the Question of profit and loss. There is, perhaps, no country In the world where the per cent, in death rate Is so low and the per cent, of Interest Is so high as in the central States of this country, and it is, therefore, a favorite field and the most profitable field perhaps in the world for the successful operation In life insurance. For forty ye.u3 the people of Indiana have been paying their millions annually into the treasury of companies which are building up other cities and other States. For forty years the Legislature of Indiana has followed the advice and persuasion of the officers and agents of the companies organized in and building up other cities and States and failed to enact a law in our own State under which sound and conservative life companies might be organized, and our millions annually continued to flow into other coffers. Only the most extraordinary discoveries of natural resources has enabled our State to keep pace with the sister States to which we contributed our millions for life premiums. Many honest and influential men. like the late Governor Matthews, seeing the great importance of building up a strong life Insurance company In Indiana and keeping a part of our millions at . home, have undertaken the work under our old assessment laws. The last General Assembly of the State awoke to the Importance of a general law on the subject under which strong, conservative life companies might be incorporated, and for the first time In the history of the State we now have upon our statute books a law equal in all respects to those of any other State in the Union. The sequel has shown that the business men of Indiana stood ready to put up the capital and make a company so strong and conservative that the croakers would have no ground to stand upon. The new law was approved by Governor Mount on the 10th day of February, 1839, and on the 2d day of April the American Central Life Insurance Company was organized under the law with a capital stock of $200,000, one hundred thousand of which was at once subscribed and paid up, and of this 150,000 was invested In registered United States bonds and a deposit made with the auditor of state, under the law, of $25,000 In registered United States bonds. About the same time the American Central Life was organized the gentlemen who had been conected with the Indiana Life Insurance Company, established by Governor Matthews, organized the Indiana Life Assurance Company, with a capital stock of $100,000. and on the 19th day of June, 1890, the American Central Life entered Into a contract with the "Indiana Life" by which all the capital of the two companies' was consolidated and the policies of the "Indiana Life" are being taken up and the American Central Life policies being substituted therefor. By this arrangement the American Central Life will be the only stock company organized and operating under the new Indiana law. The following la a list of the stockholders of the American Central Life under the consolidation, and no better list of stockholders can be found in any other corporation in the State, or in any other State: List cf Stockholders of the American Central Life Insurance Company at INDIANAPOLIS E.

This strong array of stockholders, composed of the leading business men of Indiana, have availed themselves of the first opportunity offered of forming a Life Insurance Company in this State, based upon sound business principles, with a view of affording the people of the State who carry life insurance an opportunity of securing perfectly safe Insurance a home. The Eastern companies, lcft have taken out of our State over a hu-ured million dollars, are not likely to congratulate Indiana or to compliment the intelligent foresight which secured the passage of the Indiana law and organized the American Central Life Insurance Company under It, but still the people of Indiana may look forward with confidence to the day when they will have in the American Central Life a company equal in every respect to the best. The management will be honest, conservative, patient and economical, issuing the most approved forms of policies on the best charncur of risks at living rates. The stockholders are not expecting to "get rich ouick" oft of their holdings, but will nnd their money largely invested in registered United States bonds, and that the stock of the company, like her policies, will always be at par.
