On Thursday $ velng they failed to chow up at the appointed time and the officers at once , set about making an investigation of the cause of their not , appearing. i Knowing that they frequented the . groom building in South, aim street, the officers Went'-. at once to vthat ; place; .. but a thorough ' search, -.of the place failed ' to , reveal them. Yesterday morning the deputy marshal went to the build - tag. and watched for some time for them to emerge from the building x and after a time, the girls not having I cohte out, he went o breakfast As -- was afterwards learned from .them, they "eft while he was at breakfast, ,.v Learning that the girls bad kft the building and had taken a street lead " ing out of town, the' deputy notified Marshal Mtlllkln and th two went In search.

They said they spent the night in the building, as was anticipated by the officers.

A summary of the operations ' of this company for the sixty years ending December J 1st, 105, was as follows: ' Received from policyholders, $238, 241,229.24; returned to policyholders and their beneficiaries. 2240,738,212. 7S. or $2,497,021.41 more than the amount received from them, with as sets in hand of 186,028,928.62.. with a surplus of $4,417,647.21, with which to meet liabilities, . actual and con tingent on $169,412,788.00 at risk on 71,807 policies. Except in the possible case of some society and concern , with only a slight membership, no comparable results have been accomplished by any other American . life Insurance company. This was to 'the close of December 81, 190S work. The close of the years' work for 1906 deserves as much flattery dur ing this age of extravagance in life insurance management as its former record proves.
