Sunday Is convinced ho would lie a dead
h man t It were not that God wanted him
to laat out hla first campaign In New
Jersey. Haggard and worn, eyes deeply
Tinged, looking 10 years more than the
tl to which he rjvvns, the evangelist Blood
on the running board ot a limousine to
day and said to the newspaper men:
"Fellows, If it were hot for God looking
out for me and renewing my ntrength
I'd be pumped full of embalming fluid
before the sun goes ilovvn. 1 thought
thoso 11 weeks In Plillnrirlnhln. nrnrlv

There was no pep," fire, glnRer, peper
lno or ftny of the Sunday concommltants
In his words. He was pathetically old.
There was not a "dynamic" symptom In
him or his voice.

In this city to "hit the trail."
Somewhere between Paterson and
Greenwood Lake, breathing In the spring

demonstrated after he arrived at Mr.
Plumb's bungalow. His demonstration
consisted In n. Ilttlo tennis, a little fishing
and an attempt nt steering a high-powered
motorboat

President Udgar C Felton, In his general
remarka to the stockholders, says: "On May

oiderrd. The revaluation of the manufactur
ing properties has been completed, resulting In
a reouctlon In book values as follows; Plants,

JU3.3J3 woe charged to tha Income of 1014,
and the balance of the reduction, amounting
to t7.wa.ous. was charged to the surpluses of
the respective manufacturing companies, Trie
revaluation of the mining properties la pro
gressing but has not been completed.
"While the Improvements planned In 1013
and now muring completion will enable your
tiibridUry companies to Increasa their output
ot the cruder forms of steal, and will greatly
ndute tbclr operating costs, these improve,
menu must not be considered In any aensa aa

Concerning tha mining properties controlled
by the company tha report states that be
cause of the depression in tha steel bualneu

Artisans' Order MutunI Protection
The special session of the M. H, Assembly
at the Parkway Building on Wednesday last.
c.illed to consider revision ot drnth benefit
rates, decided by a voto of
132 to 71 to Increase the rates
upon nil members of tho or
der, baBed on the ago at time
of Joining and graded for
every v ear, instead of the
five-year group, as nt present.
The n"w rates become opera
tive July 1. There waa full
thought, discussion, compari
sons on analyses, nrguments
for and against evldcncr and tigurcs trom
l.oth Kldcs. thn session lasting from 10 a. m.
to s p. m.
.Membera Joining tho order prior to 1P02 nro
given the prlvllego of taking option on death
benefit ccrtlncntcs for J500. J7&0 nnd SI 600
nt proportionate rates, If tho lncreanr on the
ixlstlng crrtincntes for $1000 and J20UO should
ba considered burdensome.
Thn commission appointed last year by the
M. U. motcr artisan presented a well-con-eldered
and exhaustive report with the rec
ommendations iib approved by tho session
Theso hrothera nre Joseph T. Taylor, Philip
It Dorrle. II F. Grenthend, Charles W. Me
Connell. T Frank Kendrlck, Allen P. Cox
and Frank P. Htocklcy.
Prominent opjionents of the rate Increase at
the annual session last w?k now express
megtinnlmouB lovnlty to the change. M. L. H.
Allen P Cox desires to allay nny misappre
hension on tho situation. Ho says:
"Tho nin.it excellent assemblv. tho covernlnir
body of the order, In special session on May 3,
adopted legislation that will advanco tho dues
of every member. Since this Is reversal of
lhe policy followod by the order for tho past
42 years. It must bo nt once nprarent to all
that somethinn more than on ordinary ne
cessity promoted the action. Until this time
nu member has l.een asked to pay more for
his insurant e than ho paid when he becamo a
member, and aa a consequence, the original
membera who still survive pay JO per annum
for JICDO of Insurancr.
"It nreds no logician or mathematician to
understand that alme tho order has no Income
except from the members arid the interest
taming upon tho Bums that they contribute,
that when a member Is accepted, the value of
his future payments to tho order must equal
the valuo of tho Iraunuice the order assumes.
Tho cost of Insurance varies with the ages of
the members, and Increases as they grow
older, so that In order to maintain a level
inymer.t thiough life. It Is necessary to charge
more In the early ears than It actually vests
to carrv tin Insurance, while In the later
veara of life the cost of carrying the risk will
bo considerably more than the annual contri
bution when tho occumulatlona aro drawn
upon to inert tho tleflcleno.
"The level annual premiums that have been
charged our members havo not been sufficient
to miitum their claims, and a. debt haa been
created that required an adjustment of rates
to overcome, and which the most excellent ns
Bcmbly very wisely decided to put In force on
July 1.
'Tho composition of our order has atwava
ib-en peculiar to It. Wo have always had tho
most practical nnd thoroughly representative
fraternity In the country. Our mombria havo
always been of the most loyal tpe und tho
order has enjoyed their fullest confidence.
Whatever action has been taken In the past
has met with tho hearty approval of the mem
bers nnd It will be a matter of Immense sat
isfaction to every one connected with our In
stitution to know that wo havo placed the
order upon a safe, sano and sound financial
basis. Tho Increase In dues, trifling In most
cases, rather than promote discontent among
our members, will be tho means of redoubling
their voiindenco In our splendid fraternity.
(While wo have been tho best of tho fraternities
wo will now bo oven better. The, satisfaction
In knowing that our rates aro founded upon
sclentllla insurance principles will not only
bind our members closer In the bonds of our
order but will glvo them renewod ambition to
solicit their friends for membership.
"Provision ha6 been made for membera ad
mitted prior to April 1, 1W2. who aro unable
to keep their Insurance In force, to curtail the
oxpense of It by reducing their ccrtllloatea to
J1..00. $1000, J760 or J300 at proportionate
ralThls action of the M. B. Assembly demon
strates the sound business Judgment of the
mien selected by the assemblies as their repre
sentatives and manifests a spirit of true fra.
ternalism In meeting Issues In a brotherly way
and disposing of vital questions when the
.... ,i.tB it insures tha stability and
permanency of tho order and every member
v.111 be Justified In tha pride that .he evi
dences In bolonglng to auch a truly fraternal
and enduring Institution.
"Our order lo atlll In the heyday ot Us
youth. While wo were founded 42 years ago,
vet Oft per cent, of the membership at this
time la TebS than 25 years In the order That
we are a body of young men Is Indicated by
our average age of 88 years and four months.
Wo have all the natural environments to be
come great and strong, and we ara Just now
at the thrrshhold of a successful career. Last
j ear brought us 2800 new members without
thu expenditure of a dollar, and with the
greater confidence that our members will now
have, that figure, as en annual standard, will
fall far short. Nothing succeeds like success,
and our past success haa been phenomenal. Our
future success Is assured."

ter claai to demonstrate this
Ideat condition . of,, affairs
Is the local sem military or
ganisation formerly known as
the Military Branch of the
Lojnl Order of Moose and
now officially designated the
Moose Defenders. . , , . ,h
Tho local contingent of this feature of the
order consists of two companies, each, when
fullv ro.Tulted. consisting of 57 men all, pi

Loval Order of Moose Is less I nan three 5 -ears
old, and tho Philadelphia VBn:h..JV,..-m
auginaled somewhat less than two yearg ago
Owing to the fact that the Iterations upon
the Mooie Home havr been In P'ogres; for
nhout Hrht months, the practical feature of
this branch has been, somewhat neglected, a.
though the organisation has remained I nl't.
and upon tvery occasion In which their sen

have responded and havo performed with
credit Jirvetal mli.or mltninderstandlnga had
arlei. nnd tho effects of these, comb tied wltn
the lack cf proper lacllltlfs for drilling and
holding social functions, had a tendency to
lacken the active interest, end catse a lew
hasty members to turn In their equipment.
A recent change of governing, conditions
wisely provided by the officers ot the lodge
has had the effect of dissipating all misun
derstandings, which wer moro fancied than
real. Instead or the two companies meeting
