ITEMS.
Old Orchard.


One of the greatest Improvements, wiTca-
completed, will be the new broad avenue rum
ming from the Boston & Maine station easterly
through the grove parallel to the beach, and
about 100 yards from high water mark. The
driveway down Old Orchard Avenue from the
Old Orchard and Ocean House grounds to the
sea is being greatly improved by widening and
travelling.
The new and much needed improvement
of the Boston & Maine has begun about the
station Tho old platform has been taken
away, and space enclosed in granite curling,
to be filled with concrete, which will be three
times as large as the former platform. This
will be entirely covered The waiting and
baggage rooms are to be enlarged. The inn
prevements should have begun earlier, as the
trains are now obliged to stop at temporary
station and at great Inconvenience to the pas
sengers.

WE would call the attention of our readers
to the bold stand which the Equitable Life
Assurance Society has taken in the interest OF
all its policy holders, both old and new. 1t is
simply what we should expect from them,
knowing their recent action in the famous
Dwight case, paying promptly the loss where
every other company which had risk upon
him is demurring. Fair dealing is one of the
Equitable's characteristics which it now pro-
poses more emphatically to express by making
its contracts incontestible after three years
from the date of each policy and doing away
with fine print exceptions.

ciety of the United States makes
the following announcement to the
public:
The dissatisfaction which pre-
walls throughout the community
with regard to OnerOus conditions
contained i'm life assurance con-
tracts and the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the
public Endorsement of the liberal
usages of this Society, as shown
by its largely increased business,
has led the management seri-
Ously to consider whether the
contract could not be simplified
and certain con.iitians erased
therefr0m which have been the
subject of much criticism and
misc0neeptiOn.
After a careful examination of
the experience of some OF the best
companies i'm Great Britain, who
have shown a greater liberality
than has been customary in this
country, this Society feels justified
in adopting form Of contract, i'm
which the following important con-
cessiOns are made to policy-holders
throughout the United States:
1---POlicies will be made incop-[
testable after three years ~
their date.
s...Each ordip~ policy will
provide for definite surrender
value ipeaid.up assurance, in case
tbeeolicy is forfeited after three
gears from it's date.
3---Each Tontine policy win con-
tain definite surrender-yalue i'm
cash, in case of withdrawal at the
end Of the TOntine period.
4---The contract will be concise
ly and clearly expressed, contain
ing only such provisions as are
necessary to protect the policy
holders.
5---The above concessions will
hereafter enure to the benefit of
all policies already issued and in
