ELLINGTON.


 A social gathering quite unique was held at F. H. pimock's last Thursday evening, that few pleasant hours might be enjoyed, and little money obtained for tuning and cleaning the Methodist or gan. About forty Gncluding several from our sister church) aided this successful en. deavor. Singing, the organ, the violin, the flute and the olarionet, enlivened the hours. The clarionet was skillfully handled by Walton Aborn, as, accompanied by the organ, he gave us march and a tune from Gospel Hymna. Recitations were finely rendered by Misses Josie Dimock and Net tie Stacy. And Clara Stacy, a bright.eyed girl of ten years, filled us with merriment by giving in fine manner "A ISnaack at School" We were sorry that Miss Mattie Aborn, who is one of our best speakers, could not be present Mr. Dimock, and also Mrs. Webber, who welcomed us, and did so much to make the evening success ful and joyful, will pleasereceive our thanks.
 Mir. Harvey Dunlap and MT. George Manley, both of whom died in West Staf- ford last week, formerly lived here. And Miss Myra Griffith, whose death occurred there last week also, we have often met at the meetings held in the Advent church here. She was one whose life was made beaptiful by the abiding presence of Christ. Collie Richardson recently returned home from Chicago.

Hartford Courant: The annual statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company appears elsewhere and also President Greene's annual report. Both are annually of great interest to very large number of people, and this year, since the talk that has been created about the Indianapolis defalca- tion, the interest is of course greater than ever.
 It will pay to give close attention to both papers. The company has $57, ,46O, ,649 of gross assets and surplus by the most rigid legal standard of $5 565, ,6oO. There ale 63,- 660 policies outstanding, insuring $15l, ,361,- al3. It took in from policy holders last year $4, 436, ,285 and paid out to policy holders $5, ,385 ,34S, and still added three quarters of million to its net assets. It's own standard of reserve, voluntarily adopted for it's recent business, is more strict than that of any other plus of S5,214, 710 1t is strength and secur- ity itself, and the jealousy and envy that it's conservative and independent course in insur- ance has created are suggested by the efforts that have been made to magnify and disort the re- cent affair at 1ndanapOlis --''5-
 PresdentGreene's report is naturally of more inter- est mere figures of the year and is alike mendabe for its cearness and its dignity of tone in spite ot natural provocation to to sef-defence. Here Is the company with its figures. The loss has all been marked the detailed story will be furnsh- ed to whoever desires it. The business of insurance is being done basis of safety and not for the sake of telling of tand the company steadily grow ing strong as grows great Its assets are solid and productive, atua i've, and M its surplus ample.
 After years of business what 1t has re- turned to pocyhoders and what it still holds for them amounts to $s4 5s1 o00 more than they have paid n and the ratio of cost of management income Is the lowest of all companies in the country. The growth and strength and standing of the company justify the fullest confidence in the management and justify the management in pride in the result of their work.
 The Courant goes somewhat out of its line to say these things because fully believes in the Connect icut Mutual and It's management and It resents, reputation of Hartford tse the attempts that have been made to use the Indianapolis loss means of yexing this great interest.

Hartford Times: The stagnant pool of South Carolina politics suffers an unex. pected troubling of the waters, in the shape of convention of t'independents and old-line union men, ;" at Pickens Court House last Monday. The leaders claim a strength of 0,000 voters in the state, and say they will explode the false claim of "carpet-baggers and bourbons'' Ca queer juxtaxpositlon } that the native white peo. pie of the state are all democrats and the colored people are republicans. They also include, in their claim, the farmers there is sort of side eddy in South Caro. lima politics which arrays, or tries to array. the farmers, as a class, against the demo- cratic rule in that state. The Charleston News denounces the convention as move ment inspired by northern republicans, and represented in Carolina by not very reputable persons. Still, this little cloud, no bigger than mans hand now. wlll bear watching. It has been long drought to some of the outs--in the Palmetto state.

Two sisters who ought to dwell together in
unisy-the neighbor commonwealth Of vir-
ginia and Maryland-fnd themselves suddenly
involved in controversy growing out of the
leasing Of the Hog Island oyster flats in the
Potomac river. Virginia, under claim of
jurisdiction which NJ .ryland refuses to recog-
nize, leased the beds to one Lewis, who has
proceeded to drive off intruding Marylanders,
and thus brings the two state governments into
collision The two governors have entered
into correspondence and there must be a back
down by one or the other, or a compromise be-
tween them. There was q time when such a
commotion rs has been raised over the Lewis
case would have been the forerunner Of a real
border war with plenty Of violence and blood
shed As it is, the two governors are to ar
range the matter over an oyster stew at the
dinner table, on the theory that the legislatures
viii readily follow their recommendations.
