TINE Connecticut Mutual

Life insurance cannot be too conservative.
Misfortunes do not befall policy holders from
excess of prudence in company management.
The Connecticut Mutual has always been mind
full Of this truth, and carefully kept on the
safe side. This course, unfiinchingly pursued,
has given it the eminent standing it takes
among life insurance companies of the world
1t aims at actual, net apparent, safety to poll
cy holders. In the opinion Of its extremely
conservative and able head the time has now
come to insure its insurance little more strong
ly If possible. The Connecticut Mutual has,
therefore, wisely determined with regard to
future policies, to compute net premiums and
reserve on the assumption of earning pei
cent interest on the best long investments, IN
stead of per cent. which will continue the
basis OF business now existing. This is taking
time by the forelock, but none too soon. The
advantages to the policy holder are obvious.
The company will spare no skill or pains te
earn over per cent. on its money, and every
thing above that will 60 to the policy holder as
surplus. This is not the only discreet change
adopted by the company. Hereafter the
American Experience table of mortality viii
be used instead of the Englis table as the basis
of calculation. The American table is 80 fal
above the mortality actually occurring as te
increase the measure of safety for the future
thus attaining, in another way, the object con
stantly sought by this company The annua
premium life policies will be, on the average
something less than those heretofore charged
The company makes other improvements, anc
offers other Inducements to persons in quest o.
sound life insurance. The modified plan o.
endowment policies is very liberal and salts
factory. To all inquiring minds we commend
careful perusal of the advertised announce
ment of the company's new propositions. L
Is well weighed and clear In EVERY word.-N

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
AN INTOXICATED SAILOR RUN INTO
BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.
The Man Comfortable Last Night with
Prospect Of Recovery.

Last evening, about o'clock, seaman nam
ed Joseph Cooper, one OF the crew OF the
schooner e. Smith, lying at Commercial wharf
attempted to cross Commercial street, as a
| Grand Trunk freight train was passing. The
man was struck by the ngine, and thrswn close
| by the track Two of his chums came
along few minutes later and were Mortified to
find him in terrible condition. He had re-
ceiyed fearful wound evidently, but it was
SO dark they could not see how badly he was
injured. One of them rushed up to the police
station and notified the authorities, and the
other ran to the vessel for help. The man was
left alone. and when Mr.. Rich, the undertake
or, and officers Harris and Jackson arrived he
could not be found. Search was made in every
direction. On the track at the head of Gem
trail wharf, where the accident occurred, the
planks were stained with blood, and great
pool of gore gave token of what had happen
ed. A piece of bone was lying close to the
rail.
All at once Mr.. Decelle of the Grand Trunk,
gave a shout and the crown rushed to him.
Half way down Union wharf, in great mud
bank, the unfortunate man was lying. He
evidently thought he was going to his vessel.
He presented piteous sight. He appeared to
be literally scalped, his head showed bad cut
and one hand was almost severed from the
arm, merely hanging by thread. Cooper was
obstinate when the men attempted to put him
in the cart evidently having no idea of the Sc
rious nature of his injuries. He was taken at
once to S. S. Rich & Sons shop on Exchange
strees, and surgeons sent for. While there
townsman said Cooper was % years old, be-
longed in New Haven, and unmarried. 1t was
evident he must have run into the train while
intoxicated-so it was stated-as his appear
ance showed he had been drinking The train
hands had no idea they had struck him, and
were astonshed TO learn the facts, for he was
neither seen, nor heard by them, as we were
told. After being taken to Rich's the man be-
came almost unconscious, and grew cold. Drs.
Gordon, Bray and Warren were called and
as quickly as possible, were in attendance.
The doctors amputated the arm above the ell
bow, dressed the wound-a bad one-in the
throat and also the fearful scalp wounds, and
the man will be removed to the Marine Hospi-
tai this morning. They thought he would re-
cover if he did not succumb to the nervous
shock

OSCAR WILDE

A prominent New York
Artist photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
in many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory of the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many of the
compositions which were
emblematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunfi0wers and
lilies on the walls, and used
as acce. series i'm the interi-
Ors, and when exterior
compositions were used,
then the artist was equally
happy i'm their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
