IMPORTANT.

The Cairo & Vincennes railroad passcn-
ger train leaving Cairo at 5 a. NJ, (after
sunrise) makes same connections for Indian
apolis, Cincinnati, Louisville and other
Eastern points as trains of other roads
leaving before daylight or before sunset of
night before. Going via vinconnes (the
only direct line) you avoid what cannot be
avoided by other lines you avoid either
being hauled 100 miles out of your way or
lying two to tweve hours at little country
depot, waiting for connecting train. At
Vincennes connecting trains are standing at
Union Depot on our arrival, giving passeu-
gers just time for dinner.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
MAKES THE FOLLOWING ANNONCE-
MENT TO THE PUBLIC:

uENl ~ Lhb = UNIV
The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with regard to
onerous conditions contained in life assur-
ance contracts and the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the public IN
dorsement Of the liberal usages of this So
ciety, as shown by its largely increased
business, has led the management seriously
to consider whether the contract could not
be simplitied and certain conditions erpsed
therefrom which have been the subject of
much criticism and misconception.
After careful examination of the ex-
perence of some of the best companies in
Great Britain, who have shown greater
liberality than has been customary in this
country, this society feels justified in adopt
ing form of contract in which the follow
ing important concessions are made to pol
icy holders throughout the United States
I. Policies will be made incontestable
after three years from their date.
2. Each ordinary policy will provide for
a defnate surrender-value in paid-up assur-
ance, in case the policy is forfeited after
three years from its date.
8. Each Tontine policy will contain a
definite surrender.value in cash, IN case Of
withdrawal at the end of the tontine
period.
4. The contract will be concisely and
clearly expressed, containing only such
provisions as are necessary to protect the
policy-holder,
8. The above concessions will hereafter
inure to the benefit of all policies already
issued and in force, after three years from
their dates respectively.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 13.-ThiS city appears
In holiday attire to-day in all its parts but more
particularly along the line of march of the pro-
cesslon. The dingy colors peculiar to the build
1ngs of the Smoky City are hidden by graceful
burdens of garlands of evergreen Gen. Grant
morning and arrived in this city shortly after
9 O'Clock. A committee from the state legis-
lature and citizens committee met the train
at Mansfield and welcomed the General to the
state. To avoid the crowd at the Union depot
th" train was stopped at Fourth avenue and
Try street, where carriages were waiting, and
the party was quietly conducted to the Monon-
gahela House.
The board CT directors OF the Chamber of
Commerce, representing the business interests
of the city, called at 1920 am. MaoAWilliam
frew. OF behalf OF the board, made an address
of welcome in which he referred to the various
manufacturing interests Of the city and to the
benefits of resumption.
GEN. GRANT REPLIED
as follows" Gentlemen of the chamber OF
commerce of PtttSburg: One OF the most graft
lying sights to my eyes on my arrival In nv
own country was the evidence of the revival of
the business Of the country on a permanent,
finn and substantial basis; on basis
OF money, which was not tiuctuating
my firm belief years ago that there
would be no permanent prosperity for the coun-
try and for the whole people until we reached a
basis of dollar which represented something
that was in turn represented by the labor OF the
people. | have to meet so many chambers of
commerce and other boards, soldiers and Others
and have to say a few words three or
four times day perhaps, and it is not my habit
to talk much cannot do it with tluency and
ease as | could with pen on subject OF this
kind. You will therefore excuse me- return
you my thanks for your cordial welcome
