THE STEADY GROWTH OLE AN ABLY
MANAGED COMPANY.

While there is something attractive in
display of figures that reach far into
the millions, it does not necessarily fol-
low that the corporation showing the
largest figures in its annual report is
stronger than some of it's contemporaries
whose assets and liabilities are less in
amount. On the contrary, the smaller
institution is often the StancheSt of the
two, when all the bearings of their rela-
tive positions are taken into considera-
ton.
One Of the soundest and most reliable
institutions of it's kind is the CONNECT
CUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
of Hartford, Conn. For every 800 of
liabilities, according to the Connecticut
and Massachusetts standard of valuation,
it holds assets of $131.01, or $141.22 by
the New York standard, ratio exceed
ing that of either of twenty-seven of
the leading life companies in the country.
From its twenty-frst annual statement,
it appears that on the LIST of January,
1886, its assets were 81, SOL ,414.25, while
its surplus as regards policy holders was
$3.50, 564.72 by the Connecticut standard,
and SAB, 416.72 by the New York STAN
dard.
The records show that in each of the
eight years past the Company has in
creased the number of policies in force,
the amount of insurance in force, the
amount of assets and of surplus, and de-
creased its rates of expenses. During
the first half of the present year its new
business shows a gain of twenty. five per
cent over the corresponding months of
last year. Such showing furnishes the
most conclusive evidence of excellent
management. Since the date of it's Or
ganization the Company has paid to poll
cy holders a total of 50, l39, 230.33.
At the conclusion of his official eXami-
nation into the condition of the Com
panys affairs, April 18th, 1886, Mr. Eph-
RAM Williams, Insurance Commissioner
OF the State, pronounced the annual state
ment correct in every particular" and
added: The assets of the company are
ample for the protection of it's policy
holders, and the securities of character
required by law"
The officers of the Company are as fol-
lows: I. w. Russell, President; F. V.
Hudson, Commercial World.

An OLD south side Citizen Falls Dead at
the Door of His Residence.
Yesterday morning about ~ o'clock
Michael Gilligan an old and respected
citizen of the Eighth Ward dropped dead
at his door. The deceased, who was about
eighty years of age, was coal miner and
resided on McColloch street where he has
lived for over twenty years. He had
been complaining for several days but
yesterday he felt better and decided to
take walk around the yard, but he had
hardly crossed the threshold when he was
seen to stagger and fall, The family
rushed 10 his assistance thinking that il
was only an attack of weakness, hut ere
they could reach him he was dead. DR..
Pipes was called but all efforts to restore
him were fruitlesS. The doctor says it is
impossible to give any accurate cause OF
his death, but that IN his opinion 1t re,
suited from some organic heart trouble.
Mr.. Gilligan leaves family and they have
the sympathy of the many friends of the
