The business nnd finnueinl position of the New York Life Insurance Compnuy, lit lit© 
0,090 ° r 1888, will excite more than usual interest In the general public; and be especially gratifying to 
its policy-holders. Last your the operations of this Cougiuuy were a success unparalleled by any ol 1 Its 
previous unnnul iiehlovoments. Not only In tho general growth of revenue amt assets, but In tho speci¬ 
fications of its ueeounts is the exhibit for especially noteworthy. Nearly one-half of Its disburse¬ 
ments were bo- dividends to policy-holder*, yet the further divisible surplus at the close of (lie your was 
fl,fl8Q,2&2.17, being still greater than the previous animal dividend. The Interest account (including 
premium on gold, An,,) shows a. great increase 1 : Incomo from this source alone was more than adequate 
to pay the losses, and was 57 per cent, gain as com pared with tho corresponding receipts of ntr, 7 . The 
gain In new policies was 2,508 above thu totul of 1807, being an aggregate for the year of 0,105 new poli¬ 
cies mi average of 17ft per week. All the details prove thorough work —a widening circle of Influence — 
higher results to its policy-holders—and the engrossing of n larger share of public attention. A great

The fly-r,awB confine the business of the Compnny exclusively to Insurance on lives—limit risks on 
any one life to ten thousand dollars—prohibit a trustee or officer from using or borrowing the funds of 
tlio ( utnpuny, and provide that all investments shall bo made in the name <|f the corporation, and not 
in tho name of any individual as an officer of tho Company; besides nianjy other stringent business 
rules for llnanolul health and soundness.’’

mont adluires fultlilnlly to the provisions required "for llnanelal health and soundness.” The accumu¬
