The
Connecticut Mutual
LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY

Does not seek to draw new members
by any speculative inducement.
1t seeks to insure only those men,
who, having families or other depend
ents that need protection, wish to
give that protection in its most abso-
lutte, simple, and reliable form, upon
the most secure basis and at its low
est cost.
To such men it offers a policy
issued upon a more conservative basis
than that Of any other company, but
with no higher average premium:
A policy so framed that, in case one
becomes unable to pay further pre-
mums, it becomes at once fully paid
up for an amount stated on the policy !;
so that pecuniary embarrassment or
misfortune, does not cause ones fam
lily to lose any possible benefit from
the payments actually made; but, on
the contrary, in such case the fullest
benefit therefrom is secured to the fam
lily needing the protection, and is not
forfeited, in whole or in part, to any
favored class there is no speculation
in the forfeiture either of reserves or
Of surplus; but each ones family re-
ceives all the insurance the entire
money he has paid in will purchase:
A policy so framed that, in case in
surance becomes wholly needless, it
can be surrendered at stated periods
for amounts stated on the policy,
which amounts are the entire reserve,
less onlya proper surrender charge, to
which would be added any accumula'
ton of surplus.
The company is strictly mutual,
without a dollar Of stock; it divides
surplus annually, thus reducing the
cost of insurance to the members in
each year toits actual cost to the COM
pany.
It's risks are carefully selected,
wholly within the northern half of
the United States; its affairs are man
aged with caution, prudence and
economy.
Its policies are payable thirty days
after receipt of satisfactory proofs of
death and are as liberal in every re-
spect as is consistent with the right
full protection of honest insurers
against dishonest claims and attempts
at fraud.

JERSEY CITY.

Mrs LInder, the wife of William Linder. of
Jackson-ane Greenville, gave birth last week to a
female child which has head like that of sea
lion. The head is small and round and covered
with soft, silky red hair The child has
no eyes, but there caviIies In the
head It's under lip Is that of a seal. II will
not take nourlshment at the mothers breast,
bnt will drink milk and always seems TO he hungIy.
Another pecnliarity is that II does not cry like a
human child its cries resembling the FAINT below
of a sea hon. Mrs. Under spent last summer in
Staten Island and made frequent visits TO aqua
mum in which there we're several sea lions. She
became deeply interested in them, and was in the
habit Of standing for hours gazing at them. The
child died yesterday.

BURIAL OF ONE OF RIGGS VICTIMS.

BURIAL OF ONE OF RUGGS VICTIMS.
Between the front windows in the west room OF
the James G. Townsend mansion in Oyster Bay,
l.. l., yesterday lay the body OF Mrs. Amelia Town
send. The removal of part OF the collin Ia re-
vealed the features familiar to all the villagers
on the north 81 10 of the island. Her gray halr
neatly Parted eflectualy hid the ugly wound on
her forehead and another on the side OF her heac,
inflicted by the negro Charles H.. Rugg. over q
year ago. The adjoining room in which the assau II
was committed, and the one IN which the body lay,
were filled with friends and relatives while outside
were congre lated the sturdy farmers who spent
days and nights in the pursuit OF the negro After
a prayerby the Rev. Charles Wlghtman the COLI
was carried to the little white Baptist Church, in
which the deceased woman had wOrshipped from
childhood.
Sunshine struggled through the little window of
oor terminating at the cell door of Rugg, when eX-
Judge Busteed and TRIBUNE reporter visited him
in the Queens County Jail. Mr.. Busteed was one
of the counsel who defended Rugg during MS trial
and called for the purpose of discussing the last re-
sort-the appeal to the Governor. When the Wis tors
entered the cell the prisoner was seated en- bis bed
reading paper but arose and extended his man
aced hands and smiled pleasantly. When his
counsel spoke to him about calling the Governors
attention to his case he sighed and shaking his
head said No use. Judge No use" =,

Tho New Star.

The new star now exciting lively in
terest among astronomers. who frankly
confess they do not know what to make
of it, is in the nebula in Andrnmeda, the
oldest known to astronomers, because IN
like other nebula, it is distinguishable by
the naked eye under favorable conditions
"a moonlight night and clear atmos>
phere 1t is better to search for it with an
opera glass. 1t will be advisable to search
for it after the moon has sunk low to-
wards the western horizon or disappeared
entirely. Let the constellation Casseo>
peia or Chair, high up in the northeast-
ern sky, be made out fl rst, then sweep the
glass slowly to the right or south and the
nebula will come into view, pale and
beautiful, elliptical in shape, about two
degrees in length from north to south
with the new star in the very heart, or
what Sir John Herschel called the nip,
pie" of it. 1t is about half way between
the square of Pegasus and the Chair, and
a straight line drawn through the stars
Alpha and Beta of the latter will pass
right through it. The Andromeda nebuls
always showed a condensation at its cen.
ter. but it never revealed this new star
before. 1t is slowly increasing in bright,
ness, as if the mass of star dust were
actually compacting into new sun be-
fore our eyes.

Brownies New PlOW .

The good Browne, he who superintends
things at the Rock Island pillow works. is
possessed with fertile brain, when it
comes to plows. He has just received
patent on gang wheel pillow, that threat
ems to revolutioDize the agricultural
world, and at the same time paralyze the
hired man who operates them. The patent
has done away with the combersom seat
for driver, reducing the weight about
one half, and is worked by single lever
to be operated by man walking behind
the pillow. The farmers of Minnesota and
Dakota claim that the present pillow IS too
heavy for their horses. besides carrying a
driver. who sometimes weighs a couple
of hundred, so it can be seen that Browne
has applied himself strictly to their wants,
aud also acting as a good samaritan for
toe dumb animals. Browne proposes to
use room at the plow works expressly
to invent and experiment on new ideas
which are crowding on his brain.
