Union Mutual Life Insurance Company

Union Mutual Life Insurance Company.
As matter of interest to holders of life in
surance policies we copy the following edito-
rial from the Boston Traveller:
The 9th annual report of the Union Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Maine shows
very favorable condition of affairs, and dis
closes the results of the sound and business
like policy pursued by the management. Mr..
John E. De Witt, the president, on assuming
office in July last, undertook a thorough inves-
!igation of the business. All bad and doubtful
assets were marked off, the property held
by the company revalued in order to arrive at
its actual present value, and after large reduc-
tons had been made in accordance with the
general shrinkage of values and present mar
ket prices, the company was found to have a
tion) of 1922, 236SO.
The losses paid during 1876 amounted to
$505, 1852. The receipts from interest rents
and profits on securities alone amounted to
$4S5. 172S5. being nearly sufficient to pay all
their death claims. During the time the COM
pany has been in business it has paid to policy
holders and their heirs in sums assured, dvi-
dends and surrender values the sum of SILL
28S, 26. The sum now held in trust is almost
as large as that already disbursed. All policies
hereafter issued come under the operation of
the Maine non-iorfeiture law guaranteeing an
equitable surrender value to those who allow
their policies to lapse. The report of the In
surance Commissioners of Maine and Massa-
chusetts, which is published in connection with
the company's report, testifes in the strongest
terms as to the excellent financial standing of
the Union Mutual. and the soundness of the
policy of retrenchment pursued by the manage
ment.

The ALMEH "A. Humphrey Moore's paint
ing of "The Almeh,' which has been on exhi-
bition for some time past at Bales art gallery,
No. 2 Free street, has attracted great deal of
attention. 1t belongs to class of works which
Gerome has made very popular, but which, in
spite of their picturesqueness and realism,
have Objectionable features Mr.. Moores pic.
ture represents girl dancing in the presence
of recumbent man, who plays the lutte to her.
The most attractive elements of the work are
its glowing color and the view given of one of
the courts of the Alhambra. The drawing is
good, and the figures are in excellent relief.
But the realistic may be carried too far, es-
pecially in the delineation Of the human form,
where conscientious fidelity to detail may take
highly Objectionable form, notably when the
artist has not the power to blend the poetical
with the physical. Mr.. Moore has not greatly
distinguished himself in this work by grace Of
imagination, but he has painted glowing and
an attractive canvas which has many points of
interest. The figure of the man is the best
feature of the picture, a1tistically considered
IT is capitally presented, and the head is
admirably modelled. The face of the woman
IS of the doll-baby order, but her pose is good.
Had the artist been less economical in clothing
her, his work would have lost nothing in effect
Every artist is not a Gerome who can atone
for coarseness of suggestion by beauty of color
and drawing.

Fourth of July.

Mr.. ED1roR:-The city government having
failed to make any especial appropriation for
celebrating the coming Fourth of july which.
although it is in strict accordance with their
avowed determination to retrench municipal
expenditures in every possible manner, yet
appears to manyiat best but poor economy, we
deem it necessary to make some arrangements
for proper celebration, which will draw a large
number Of people from adjoining cities and
towns. and thereby not only prove peculiarly
but also a lasting benefit to the merchants of
our city. We therefore make the following
offer: l ~
Provided one hundred other merchants will
give a similar amount, we will subscribe 500;
the total amount thus collected to be placed in
the hands of committee, selected from the
donors, whose duty shall be to make such
arrangements for celebration on the coming
Fourth as will reflect credit on this city and do
honor to our glorious anniversary of American
Independence. We would respectfully suggest
that a subscription paper be left at your Office,
for the benefit of such liberal and patriotic
citizens as may feel disposed to aid in this en-
terprise. Respectfully yours,
G. d. B. FISK & Co.

The Cameron Benefit.

Miss Isadora Cameron has reason to be deep
ly gratified at the fattering reception she re-
ceived last evening on the occasion Of her ben
the high esteem in which she is held by the
patrons of the drama in Portland. The audi
ence was in all respects, in point of numbers,
of intelligence, of social position, the best seen
within the walls of the theatre this season. 1t
was an old-fashioned Museum benefit house.
The reception to Miss Victoria Cameron was
no less cordial than that given to her sister, and
showed that the great audience remembered
with pleasure the days when she was upon the
boards in this city, and continue to cherish for
her warm personal regard.
The play presented was the 'Hunchback,''
one we'll adapted to show the beneficiary at her
best. In their first scene the two sisters came
on hand in hand, and were greeted with
storm of applause which lasted many moments.
1t was some time before they could go on with
their lines. Bouquets were thrown at them,
and some admirer, given to pretty conceits, let
loose two white doves from the rear of the
house. The ladies could only bow their thanks
The play received satisfactory interpreta-
blOu MISS 4ShuOEd OAm6IOu Was d SudILuluR
"Julia," rendering the part with vivacity and
grace, and in the more serious passages being
impassoned and very effective. Miss Victoria
Cameron was an eminently pleasing "Helen,"
and gave an impersonation noticeable for its
finish and color. In the manner of acting to
which "Helen" belongs, this actress is very
happy. Mr.. Calder, who was the "Modus" of
the original Museum Company. was received
with hearty applause and other manifestations
of approval as he came upon the stage-com-
pliments which were his due, for the imperson-
alton is one of his happiest efforts, strong and
faithful in delineation. The "Sir Thomas Cliff
ford'' of Mr.. Gossin was very effective por-
traiture rendered with spirit and was an admir-
able Interpretation of one of the most pleasing
characters of "The Hunchback." Indeed, Mr..
Gossin has done few better things during his
stay here. The others impersonations call for
no particular mention.
The bill will be repeated this afternoon and
evening. A grand matinee will be given today,
and this evening Miss Cameron makes her last
appearance. On these occasions full houses
may be expected.
