It rnd of t orrent year, the Royal Insurance
tjfcpany will complete Its first quarter century,
'fte annual report lor Its twenty-fonrth year, In
connection with other pulilic statements (the
JUyal beUcvoa In publicity), shows how the
results and exjerlcncc of the pant have worked
f promote the growth and position of the com
paay. Ai regularly as the years go on the Royal
Makes stronger its foundation. In the fire de
partment, the reserve fund was strengthened by
the addition of if f1,3:X out of the net fire earn
ings of 88, irftcr pnymcnt of dividend, and
f.13,2H5 were added to the profit and loss account
f this department. At end of 1808, the total of
reserve fund and profit and loss account was
$W2,W; of this sum, f 142,415 was the contri
bution of 18C8, accumulation from Interest in
cluded. To the accumulated fund of the life depart
ment $734, W5 was added by the business of 1808,
waking the toUl of the life fund at end of year
5.611,:575.
Tl e ratio of fire loss to prcmlnm last year
was a fraction less than ft! per cent. As corn
fared with I8i7, the annual jure premium was
Increase 1 $75,145, while the increase of loss was
but :W.880.
Mr. J. II. McLaren, the prcseut manager,
walks ably in the path followed by the sagacious
Percy M. Dove. The new elements of fire
hazard receive from the management that care
ful and searching investigation which the alarm
ing importance of the subject calls for. Through
eut the civilized world the fire hazard is ou the
increase, under the operation of inevitable laws.
This fact is appreciated by the Royal, which
acts iu the spirit of a just preparation for the
emergency. Inquiry as to the fate of the risks
declined in 1808 showed that the loss on thciu
alone, had they becu accepted, would have been
equal to one-sixth of the aggregate loss sustained
by the company.
The Philadelphia Branch of the Royal, under
the management of George Wood, Esq., was
never more conspicuous in American insurance
affairs than at present. Its important relations
to Philadelphia manufacturing interests, ns
evinced in the great fire crisis through which tho
city is now passing, seems to us to call for espe
cial comment. This great agency was orga
nised in Philadelphia in April, 1853, and up to
September 1, IStW. it paid losses to the amount
of 1 1,473,088, including claims resulting from
the destruction of the Patterson warehonse.
The experience of the Royal's agency gives the
tallowing result:
April 27, 1852, to Drcehilnr 31, 1808.

These figures are part of the data embraced in

in all its diversities, so intelligently recorded,
affords an excellent index to the insurable char
acter of Philadelphia specials. Its tests have
nggestcd some modifications on tho fore-cited
grouping of risks for future practice. The Royal
holds the key of the situation. It is as Etrong
in the knowledge undr which it acts as iu its
resources, and as a security is of great, we might
almost say vital, moment to the industrial enter
prises of the city. From Hie October number of

after looking around, weut out and in a few moments
returned with a companion. One of t'.ietu then again
entered the place aud commenced haudllug the

wrappers. A colored porter, who was watching
these operations, stepped out from his hiding place
and confronted the men, who were considerably sur

The Stale Journal of Columbus, Ohio, says the Re
publicans have elected ti'2 members of the Lower
House to the Democrats' s'J, not counting Hamilton
county, and 17 to their opponents' 10 ln tho Senate,
leaving the four members from Hamilton out of the
count. In Hamilton county a Fusion or Indepen
dent ticket, composed of an equal number of Demo
crats and Republicans, has been elected. If these
gentlemen vote In accordance with thulr
political antecedents, the Republicans will
have three majority in the House,
and a majority of one in the Senate. The
balance of power Is held by the Independent Repub
licans elected on the so-called County Retorm
ticket ln Hamilton county. As Mr. Hassaurek, the
leader of the reform movement, Is pledged to the
support of the Republican State ticket, and to the
Republican policy and principles generally, there U
reason to think that his friends on this ticket will
act with the party with which they have aiwavs

SOHENOK'S COLUMN.
CAN BE CURED.
BEAD THE EVIDENCE.
"Facto are stubborn thint9," and It Is to fact
alone that It Is desired to direct tho attention of
the readers of this article.
Many years of severe and thorough practical
trial have demonstrated beyond the peradventure
of a doubt the fact that tho medicines prepared
by me, and known as SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS, SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC, and
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved
extraordinarily successful In the cure of diseases
of the Pulmonary organs, or what is usually
termed CONSUMPTION. 1
I am fully aware that there are many pcrsom
whose prejudices rule them so completely that
"proofs stronr- ns Holy Writ" would fall to con
vince them of the efficacy of my remedies; and
that there arc others who. nmw
stances, could be prevailed upon to admit their
merits, simpiy because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their Tmrt.ieiiln r tm isw i
interests.

disease are now prepared. I procured and used
them, aud, to the utter amazement of all phy
sicians, friends, nnd neighbors boiran to Im
prove. My entire system commenced to undergo
a complete renovation. Expectoration, which
formerly had been difficult and paiufnl, now be
came comparatively easy. I threw off daily
large quantities of offensive yellow mutter. At
tho same time my long-lost appetite returned.

and less cffeiisive; exhausting night sweats
ceased ; the racking and harassing cough abated ;
the fever broke: tho pain departed ; llcsh planted
itself on my sadly-wasted frame, and with licsh
came strength and full health. From a mere
skeleton I became a stout, strong, robust mas,
and 1 have maintained both strength and flesh
to this day. I weigh two hundred and thirty
five pounds ; I am blest with an appetite vouch
safed to but few men, while my digestive organs
ore amply equal to all the requirements of a
healthful condition of my system.
Now, bo it remembered, all these wonderful
changes were wrought by the use of the medi
cines I prepare MANDRAKE PILLS, SEA
WEED TOMC, and PULMONIC SYRUP. A
cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created
astonishment in tho minds of those who know
me. I was literally besieged ou all sides. I had
visitors daily who besought me to give them the
remedies which hud wrought the wonderful
restoration and hud wrested me from the very
laws of death. Letters were received by scores
importuning me to impart tho secret and inform
the writers where the specifics for consumption
could be obtained. Others, who were too weak
to travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and
consulted ine in regard to their cases. To all
these applications I responded ns I was able.
I had fully regained my health, aud gratitude
for the happy result prompted me to turn my
attention to the science of medicine, with the
hope of thereby being able to be of servieo t
my suffering fellow-creatures. I devoted myself
closely to my studies, and more especially t
that branch of them relating to the terrible dis
ease from which I had suffered so long and s
much. 1 investigated it in all its fearful phases,
in order to assure myself that my case was not
an exceptional one. The closer my investiga
tions the more satisfactory were my conclusions.
I felt convinced that tens of thousands of my
fellow-creatures were dying annually from con
sumption whose cases were not as desperate ani
apparently hopeless as mine had been, and I
argued from this that remedies which had proven
bo eflcctive with me would prove equally so with
others. I prepared my medicines in a pleasant
and attractive form, and announced them to tho
world. The results are well kuown. Thou
sands of suffering men, women, and children,
who were ou their way to tho grave, have been
cured, aud ore to-day living evidences of tho
fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED;
and I think I may say, without arrogating to
myself anymore than is justly my due, that I
have had as much experience In the treatment
of consumption as any other person in the coun
try, and that my success has been wonderfully
great.
Let tho reader remember that these are not
mero fancied statements. They are positive
living facts ol which I am tho living evidence.
There is au old adage which says, "What has
been done may bo done." I havo been com
plately cured of consumption by tho remedies I
now offer to the public. Thousauds of others
have testified to similar happy results from their
use, and thousauds of others still might bo bone
fitted as I have been could they but be prevailed
upon to try tho virtue of The Mandrake Fills
txaweed Tunic, and l'uhoonio Syrup. All that
is necessary to convince tho most skeitieal of
their merits is a fair trial. 1
