The Managers Taken Severely to Task In
His Eeport Because of
THEIR KECELESS BUSIKESS'HETHODS.
rSPECUi TKLIGEAM TO THB VISTXTCa.J
Hakbisbtjbg, June 8. In hi annual re
report Insurance Commissioner Forster
writes at length of the operation of the
American Life Insurance Company. He
says the company was originally incorpo
rated by a special act on April 9. 1850, by
which Its capital and accumulated funds
Were required to be invested in first-class se
curities, but under a supplement passed
April 8, 1837, the officers had unlimited
powers in the investment of the fnnds of the
incorporation, and the discretion of these
officers was the only security the stockhold
ers and policy holders had for the proper
management of their financial interests.
"This company," says Commissioner
Forster, "has not for many years had a first
class standing on account ot the peculiar
methods employed in its management, which
created alarm and distrust, and designedly
so, for the purpose of enabling the purchase
of policies at less than their real value.
More than ten years ago a contract was
made with a New Tort company, the agents
of which visited the policy holders of the
American, and in order to induce them to
surrender their policies for less than they
were worth, represented that the company
was
IIT A FAILING CONDITION.
"At this time it was amply able to pay
all of its policy obligations at their matur
ity. Alter this the American ceased to be
an insurance company, except in name.
The suspicion and distrust engendered by
this proceeding prevented it from securing
any large amount of new business, and, in
deed, it did not seem to encourage acces
sions to the number of Its policy holders.
"The apparent aim ot the management
was to reduce and finally extinguish the
policy obligations upon terms most favorable
to the corporation, that is, the stockholders,
with the ultimate view of enhancing the
market value of the stock, or dividing the
surplus, or, perhaps, of engaging ex
clusively in the trust business permitted
by the charter. The insurance in force has
diminished from $33,000,000 in 1873, tbe
first report made to this department, to less
than $4,000,000 at the close of 1889, when
the last report was made. The reserve, cal
culated according to the legal standard, was
in 1873 only 11 per cent of the amount of
the insurance, while in 1889 it was 37 per
cent of the insurance, snowing that the re
maining policy holders are mostly of ad
vanced ages, ana that a large proportion of
the policies are paid up."
EECKXESS TTSAXCIEHniO.
After referring to the fact that tbe mortal
ity of the company had for a number of years
been largely in excess of the tabular rate.
or that provided by the premiums, the In
surance Commissioner says:
"But it was not excessive mortality that
wrought the financial ruin of the company,
"When the late managers obtained a con
trolling interest of the stock, for which not
less than par was paid, it was hoped that
they Trould, by strict1 business methods, re
store the company to public confidence. In
stead of doing so they used the funds en
trusted to their control for speculative ven
tures The financial control of the cor
poration was committed to a enteric
of tbe most reckless and vision
ary speculators, who loaned the
money ot the company to themselves
upon the stocks and bonds of corporations
with which they were affiliated. This they
did with tbe expectation, no doubt, that
these ventures wonld prove profitable to
themselves and not harmful to the com
pany; and It requires the utmost charity to
attribute to them no greater fault than an
error of judgment in thus imperiling their
own stock as well as the interests of the
policy holders, of which they were the law
inl trustees.
"There is no evidence that they have
profited personally by their system of finan
ciering, although they undoubtedly meant
to do so; and in view of tbe ruin they have
accomplished one is at a loss to determine
whether their condnct was dominated by in
sane recklessness or by deliberate intention
to defraud."

Interesting Commemorative Exercises by
BlalreTlIIo Presbyterian..
rSPXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO IBB DISPATCH.
Blaibsviixe, June S. The semi-centennial
exercises commemorative of the
pastorate of Eev. George Hill, D. D., were
begnn in the Presbyterian Church here this
morning. The large structure was filled to
overflowing, and noticeable among the
attendants were old-time residents and
people who attended the church years ago.
The decorations of flowers and slants were
simple but in elegant taste. The sermon of
Bev. J. T. Smith, D. D., of Baltimore, on
the "Word was one of great eloquence. Not
withstanding his age his delivery was per
fect, Mr. Smith was a classmate of Bev.
Dr. Hill. Hiss Irma Haight, musio
teacher at the Blairsville Ladies' Seminary,
rendered some very charming music
This evening's exercises consisted of an
able sermon by Bev. J. L Brainson. D.D..
of "Washington, Pa., his subject being "The
Pastorate." The choir also rendered some
choice selections. The exercises of the anni
versary will be concluded on Tuesday,
when Bev. Mr. Hill will give an historical
address.
All the members of Dr. Hill's family now
living are home for tbe occasion. The anni
versary has been a brilliant success so far
and promises to end likewise.

set Rock la k Dense Foe,
Loxdoct, June a The Anchor line
steamer City of Home, Captain Young,
from New York, arrived atQueenstown at
10 o'clock this morning. The vessel had a
narrow escape from destruction at Fastnet
She made land in a dense fog at 4 A. M.
this morning. She was going slowly and
was taking soundings, when, notwithstand
ing the care exercised, she struck Fastnet
Bock, about three miles seaward of Crook
? Haven, bow-on. Her forefoot cot on the
rock, and but for the prompmuae aispcu
in reversing the engines a great fatality
would have been recorded.
Passengers who were interviewed say that
the steamer trembled all over when she
struck the rock. For a time there was in
tense alarm on board, the density of the fog
adding to the ominons character of the, situ
ation. The passengers were finally quieted
by the repeated assurances of the com
mander and other officers of the steamer that
not the slightest danger existed. The full
extent of the damage will not be ascertained
until the vessel is docked at Liverpool. Her
stem is broken at the peak, and she shipped
a large volume of water forward. The
steamer started for Liverpool at 11 o'clock,
proceeding at halt speed.

tbe Saloon Proprietor.
Chicago, Jnne 7. James Johnson, out
stretched in a drunken stupor on a saloon
floor, was stumbled upon and accidentally
stabbed to death this morning by 'Walter
Jacobscn, who, scarcely less stupid from
drink, was resisting the whisky-enfeebled
efforts of the proprietor, Michael Dalton, to
clear the saloon.
Johnson, Jacobson and Dalton had been
all night in the place dice-throwing and
drinking prior to the fatal thrust. All three
were too drunk to realize Johnson's danger.
He bled to death on the saloon floor from
lack of attendance.

DO NOT
BE DECEIVED
If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do
not be induced to buy anything else instead.
In some stores persistent effort is made to sell
other articles when Hood's Sarsaparilla Is called
for, simply because a little more profit will be
made on the substitute preparation. Now we
submit that such efforts are not honorable, and
ought to be discouraged by all who like fair
play. Therefore if you call for Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, insist upon having it. Isn' t that fair?

oa the
Denble Track Bridge.
The surveyors of the Pennsylvania Bail
road Company have at last completed the
survey for its McKeesport branch, to be
known as the MoKessport and Bessemer
Bailroad, and the line will be built at
once. Dredging has been commenced by
Drake & Strattan, in the Monongahela was
just below the Monongahelo furnace plant
for the double track bridge. The line will
reach McKeesport on this bridge pass
ing through Furnace plant ground
below the Femlckey road, passing
down a street to the Mpnongahela river it
will follow-the river through the grounds of
the tube works and the W. Dewees "Wood
Company, and will reach the foot of Mar
ket street, where the depot will be located.
The turn table will be placed on tbe
Chambers glass works property at a point
about a square below the lower end of the
National rolling mills.
This route will not necessitate the secur
ing of much right of way, as the line from
one end to the other of the city is largely on
the grounds of manufacturers, all of which
are kindly disposed toward the Pennsylva
nia system. The line will cross that of the
McKeesport Connecting Bailroad Company
near the furnace plant, and again at a point
near the upper end of the National Boiling
Mills. '

"THAT'S THE TICKET.
This slang expression is a corruption of THAT'S THE ETIQUETTE that's
the proper mode of procedure. Etiquette is the French word for a ticket, and its
present meaning in English arose from an old custom of distributing tickets, or
ETIQUETTES, upon which the ceremonies to be observed at any formal proceed
ing were duly set forth. The modern word programme exactly corresponds to the
old Etiquette.
Russet Shoes Are the Ticket.
The dnstless shoe is the proper thing for seaside and mountain use. Cease
struggling with the blacking brush. It is so pleasant to do away with the in
cessant polishing required to keep black leather bright during these summer
months. The Eusset shoes retain their brightness until constant use has com
pletely worn them out. They are so comfortable, look infinitely neater and more
dressy, besides outlasting the other kind.
Headquarters for Russet Shoes.
"We have a most complete stock of all kinds and shapes of Itnsset shoes for
ladies, gentlemen and theyoungerfolks. Everythingstylish and seasonable in these
indispensables are found in our well-selected stock, and the prices are all right.
Our policy of giving the best goods for the least money is fully carried out in the
Eusset shoe offerings to-day.

AN ORDINANCE. PBOVIDINQ FOB
tbe acceptance from Andrew Carnegie ol
free libraries.
WnzBEAa. Andrew Carnestfe has eeneronsr
ly offered to the city of Pittsburg a cut of free
libraries, as set forth in the following conunot
nlcations:
.r . riTTSOTTBO. PA, February 4 ISfcXX
To the Mayor and Councils of Pittsburg:
Gentlemen Some years ago I bad the)
pleasure of offering to expend upon a free)
library for the city of Pittsburg the sum ol
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The
finances of the city were not then In condition
to permit of its acceptance. Having expended
more than that sum in our sister city of Allot
gbeny, I subsequently intimated that I wis
prepared to expend not less than half a million
for Pittsburg; such, however, has been tbe re
cent growth of the city, such are its prospects
for the future, that careful consideration has
led me to the conclusion that. In order to pro
vide such libraries as Pittsburg should have,
will require even a larger sum,
I think that Pittsburg requires a central
building containing a reference and circulat
ing library: also suitable accommodations for
works of art, which I believe its citizens would,
soon provide; that there should also be added,
rooms for tbe meeting of tbe various learned,
societies of the city. The experience of New
York, Baltimore and other large cities has
proved that a central library should be supple
mented by branch libraries. Tbe Free Circu
lating Library, of New York, has now four of
these; tbe city of Baltimore has five. They are
not extensive structures, but each contains a
small supply of the books most in demand and
a reading room, and is operated in connection
with the central library. Such branches, I
think, should be established in the various dis
tricts of tbe city, probably one in Birmingham,
another in Temperanceville, another In East
Liberty, a fourth in Lawrenceville. perhaps
Huituiu tuuuiuer part ot me city. Ail ox uiesa
should be thoroughly tire proof, monumental
in cnaracter ana creaitaoie to tne city.
To provide these buildings with suitable
books, etc., I offer to expend not less than
one million of dollars. 1 propose tbat their lo
cation, erection and management shall been
trusted to a board of trustees, composed ex
officio of the Mayor, tbe Presidents of Select
and Common Councils, the President of the
Central Board of Education, and a library
committee of five appointed by the councils,
such as you have done me the honor to appoint:
to confer with me. To these .Pwould add the
names of 12 well known citizens of Allegheny
county, who should have tbe power as a body
to provide for tbe re-election of its members as
stated times, and also to fill vacancies in their
number.
The libraries to be formally handed over to
the city upon their completion, free from lien,
In trust for the purposes specified. The city to
agree to receive and support same at its own
proper cost, under tbe management of the
trustees, as above provided.
Tbe city of Baltimore pays 550,000 per annum
for tbe support of its public libraries, estab
lished by Mr. Enoch Pratt, who gave $1,000,000
for the purpose, but I believe tbat S40.000 per
annum would be sufficient to maintain those of,
Pittsburg; and not less than this sum per an
num I require the city of Pittsburg to agree to
Elace at the disposal of tbe Library Trustees to
e expended upon them.
1 am clearly of the opinion that It Is only by
the city maintaining its public libraries, as it
maintains Its pnblio schools, that every citizen
can be made to feel tbat he is a joint proprietor
ot them, and that tbe pnblio library is for the
public as a whole and not for any portion tbere
of.and 1 am equally clear that unless a commu
nity is willing to maintain public libraries at
the public cost, that very little good can be ob
tained from them. Not to save me further
expenditure therefor, but for the best interests
of the city,I make it a condition that they shall
be properly maintained by tbe city.
Very respectfully.
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
Letter No. Z.
ilTTSBUKO. May 6. 1890.
JohnS. Lamble. Esq., Chairman, .Pittsburg-, ra.j
Dear Sik Three citizen members of tbe
Library Commission having resigned, nine only
remain. As the city has nine official represent
atives upon the commission, equality of repre
sentation will be secured by leaving unfilled-,
the places of the three resigning members, and
this will be done.
As the successors of the official representa
tives of city are created without participation
upon tbe part of tbe citizen members, equality
will be obtained in this matter also by provid
ing that the citizen members should them
selves elect their successors.
Hoping the Councils will approve this view
and pass an amended ordinance in accordance
therewith, and thanking yourself and col
leagues for the courtesy shown me during to
days conference, I am always
r V ery sincerely yours.
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
