THE BEST is THE EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in 1S94. Then you will know the three great reasons of The Equitable's supremacy: 1st, its financial stability; 2d, its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders; 3d, the prompt ness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.

He says 'that number of roads, convinced of the unconstltulonallty of the pro hibition of pooling, want to teat the question, but were voted down by the majority, act Uat Friday meeting. The three things that were done, tie adds, were tlhese: First, to malnt.nln rates strictly hereafter; spcond, to direct pas senger agents to come together and re new It h IJ. passenger association; third, to order a iuceting of freight agents to restore tariffs on lumber and coal and otherwise carry out the In tention to re-establish and maintain the rates In effect Aug. 1. Tne Central Trattle association lines have given notice to those of tho West ern group of roads that t'hey will no langer honor tickets sold by them at reduced rates for large gatherings un less they make the certificates attached to such tickets conform strictly with the form prescribed by the Central Trafllc roads. The Southern roads are ai-ttlng the Northern lines an example In handling their Atlanta paasenger business. All tickets to the exposition are Ironclad, and must be slgnd anil executed at Atlanta before good ti return on. The scalpers object, as they are losing money and will not now purchase the return part of such tickets. An In spector titan-ds nutsldo the ticket office In every station, and when a passenger presents a ticket to he signed the In spector makes a bluff that the holder was not the original person, and tells the ticket agent not to Indorse the ticket. If t'he passenger was not the original buyer he usually gets scared and walks off with the tU'ket. and makes the broker take It (back. When a ticket la presented and believed to have Leon bought from a scalper, Its num ber Is .taken, and If It Is presented later, the agent again refuse to stamp It. Already many original buyers have preser-ted their tickets and signed them, but. It Is said, the Inspector has ordered the agent not to Kamp them becauso the signature on the back did not ex actly rem pare wli h the name written on the f.ice when It was bought. A t'levt land despatch says the scar city of t.teel rails has created a boom In th.it .market. Representatives of aevcral syndicates, which want from 20,000 to 70,000 tons of rails, ar at pres ent In the city, but so Tar they have only succeeded In pluclng a portion of their orders. 4V C unit vZl n r viy a eQ X- - we (UMTHIITo cnl 5 rnt foe tmpli packarj.
