ton Transcript says that the telephone is moth
ing new. The fact that electricity in passing
through magnetic helix or coil of wire, is pro-
ductive of sound was first discovered by Prof
Charles G. Page, of Salem, Mass, as long ago
as 1887. The Portland Transcript says as early
as 1884 Rev. DIR. Thomas Hilsof Portland, writ
ing from Baltimore to Boston paper, sug.
gested that the time might come when the
sound of the human voice could be transmitte d
by means of electricity from one city to anoth-

the organs of speech might be constructed and
then played upon by keys, like those of piano.

STATUE TO FORMER RESIDENT OF PORT
LAND The bronze statue of the late Edward
Little, designed by Franklin Simmons, has ar
rived from Europe and will be erected in the
Edward Little Park at Auburn, as soon as the
park is graded and put in readiness. Edward
Little was a son of Col. Josiah Little of Neg
buryport, large proprietor of lands upon the
Androscoggin. He was graduate of Dart
mouth. and for several years practiced law in
this city, residing over sixty years ago in the
house still standing near the corner of Dan
forth and Vaughan streets. About fifty years
ago he removed to Danville (now Auburn) and
it was largely through his influence that the
little villages that have developed into the rap
idly growing cities of Lewiston and Auburn
were specially favored at an early day with ed
ucational and religious institutions of the high
est order. The great development of the water
power of Lewiston was also secured in large
degree by the public spirit he evinced as prin-
cipal owner of the lands in the vicinity.

This life Insurance company has an eminent
ly respectable history, being one of the Oldest
in hecountry; its officers are men of known
worth and financial ability, men of conservative
policy, honorable and successful. During a
large business extending over thirty-ive years
the company has been unassailed by charge or
innuendo and has won and held the respect and
confidence of those with whom it has had deal
ings. The circumstance that theIcompany does
not encourage its agents, under the stimulus of
high salaries or unwarrantably large commits.
sions, to run that swift race for business tina is
done all over the country, nor work up novel
plans to captivate those who take but SUPER
fetal view of the science and principles of life
insurance, speaks volumes in its favor, when
one considers the nature of the investment
made in life policy.
The Trust Find Magazine in speaking of the
company, says;
I'VE find the career of the New England
Mutual unmarked By that eagernesS for bust
ness at any cost, which is the characteristic of
many companies Indeed, it is doubtful if
there is another company in the country equal
ly conservative. With o business sufficiently
large to give an element of certainty to all its
transactions its officers have for several years
past devoted their efforts to the furtherance of
the interest of the present membership rather
than to the procuring of new business. Such
business as comes to them at legitimate cost,
they are willing to accept; such as will not
come at a legitimate cost, they are still more
willing to let go elsewhere. Such is the policy
the management has selected after due deGber
alton, and the exhibit as set forth above is far
from one upon which serious objection thereto
could be founded"
