—Since 1890 Washington, D. C. i

position tint had formerly been held
by New Orleans, with Baltimore a
close second. It still holds first,
place in this regard but the present j
census shows Philadelphia has made
the heaviest gains in negro poplation
111 the last decade. The truth of the
mu4ter is that a gerat many cities
are showing marked increase in the
| negro population, while the decrease j
are few and comparitively small in
number, most of them being in Vir
ginia towns and cities. San fran
i cisco has the smallest negro popula
-1 tion of any large city in the country,
possibly because cheap labor there is
i performed by the Chinese.

EXCEPTIONAL SUCCESS.
Achieved by iLe Ftnn Mutual Lift In
anrance Company During the Paat Year.
A noteworthy example of what can be
accomplished l>y careful and intelligent
business management is afforded by the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Companv.as
net forth in its fiHy fourth a ml report.
The past vear was"the most successful in
the history of the company, and the in
crease in the volume of business is truly
phenominal. The assets on January I,
1902, were $48,979,021.54. being lart-er by
§4,780,872.45 than those ot the previous
year. The reserve tund at 3J and 4 per
cent, to re-insure risks was increased by
$4,325,045 and now amounts to $42,184,-
607. During 1901, the premiums and an
nuties received were $9,082,902.33,interest
receipt, etc. $2,350,231.09, dividends to
iiolicy holders, $625,223.54, to which
should be added $392,730.42 allotted to
deterred dividend policies, making the
total apportionment of surplus during the
year $1,017,953 96. Losses paid, $2,756,-
281.25, motured endowment and annui
ties, $911,078.75. There were issued 26,-
249 policies, insuring $62,453,057, against
19,309 policies insuring $52,232,846 in
1900. The total number ot policies in
lorce is 99,083, insuring $242,051,662.
Since the organization of the company
there has been paid to policy liolders the
enormous sum of $62,827,323.74, a tact
which of itself affords indisputable evi
dence of the company's financial strength.
The Penn Mutual is now so firmly estab
lished in public confidence that it would
be impossible to predict that measure o!
success the future has in store, but it is
safe to assume that it will be greater than
ever. The business in this Slate is very
large and this is to a great extent due to
Messrs Bourne tV Durham, general mana
gers for Northeastern and Central Penn
sylvania. The last year was by far the
most successful in the history ot the
agency, its issue going considerably be
yond the three million mark, and thus
bringing the firm in the front rank ot
producers for the Penn Mutual. " ith
offices and able representatives in Scran
ton, Wilkes-barre, Easton, _ Allentown,
Williamsport, Binghamton, N. Y.. and in
all the principal cities throughout their
territory, as well as an effective force in
Philadelphia, their success is easily un
derstood, and to the cordial co-operation
and earnest efforts of its representatives
and the supreme excellence ot the coin
panVt Bourne Durham attribute the
magnificent business ot the agency tor
1901, . ,
The Company is very efficiently repre
sented in this County by M.A. Scureinan.
