APowERFUL COMPANY.
A Great Financial InstItuti0n-The
 Showing of the Connecticut Mutual

A
 Showing of she Connecticut Mutual
 Life.
 The annual statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance appears in another column this morning. This is one of the largest and strongest life insurance compa- nies on the globe and has long held fnan- ciaI importance and a reputation for strength and stability most creditable and honorable to our commonwealth. President Greens statement only demonstrates the continuance of the company's colossal strength, the Indianapolis dedication not having impaired it's security and stability in the least, as it's big assets incontrovertibly attest. The company has $57, ,460, ,S49 of gross assets and 8 surplus by the most rigid legal stand of $5, ,565, ,6SO. There are 63, ,660 policies outstanding, insuring $151 1881 ,913. It took in from policy holders last year $4 ,436, ,2S5 and paid out to policy holders 5,355, ,349, and still added three-quarters of a million to it's net assets. It's own standard of reserve, voluntarily adopted for its re- cent business, is more strict than that of any company, and yet, by that, it has 8 net surplus of $5,214, ,710. It is strength and security itself. After forty three years of business what it has returned to it's policy holders and it still holds for them amount to 34. 591. .OO0 more than what they have paid in and the ration of cost of management to 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.

Re1ter maiI FacIIitiaa.

Postmaster English has made a sub-diyis. ion of the two letter carrier routes located in the Eighth and Ninth wards and bounded by State and Prospect streets and by Humphrey street and Mill river at the foot of East Rock This large territory was formerly covered by two carriers, each having prescribed por- tion. Now this section is covered by three carriers instead of two, and instead of two deliveries, as formerly, the postmaster has added a third or noon delivery for the lower or more popular part. This greatly gratifes the people in that section of the city. The result of the change is briefly that the morn- and afternoon mails are served more quickly and earlier than before, and in addition there is noon delivery, all of which is duly appreciated in the section named as decid- ed public accommodation.

Farewell Sermon of Rev. G. E. Reed In she Fields of Boax-Kindness and Christian sympathy With LabOrers -Neceaaarv ReIaxiOng.

Farewell Sermon of Rev. G. R. Reed
 I'm the Fields of Boax-Kindness and
 Christian sympathy With LabOrers
 Necessary Relations.
 At Trinity M E. church last evening Rev. George E. Reed delivered as the subject, Employers and Employed" The church was filled to it's utmost. The pastors text was Ruth ii, A.. "And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, the Lord be with you. And they answered him, the Lord bless thee."
 This farmer Boaz is one of the most notice able characters in the old Testament stories, began the minister. He appears as a man of wealth, kindness of heart and Christian spirit. The text gives @ beautiful picture of this man and of the simplicity in those days between employer and employed. Would to God this picture might be9more fully realized in our times. In many instances the relation between the two is strained, aye, positively antagonistic. Progress continually drifts them apart from themselves and the old ideal. In large concerns personal contact is hardly known. It is so with Ireland and has been since Strongbow landed on the coast and conquered the kingdom. When this state is reached evil results are sure to follow.
 There are certain obligations which all men employing others should reel. F1rst, there should be regard for the physical well-being of all under their charge. Nothing strikes the heart more powerfully than considera- ton of soul and humanity rather than mere getting of money. Secondly, not simply physical soiicitude, but, as is shown so beau- tifully in the case of Boaz, there should be genuine kindness and politeness to those under their charge. This man came into his fields and greeted his laborers as equals: ''The Lord bless you;" and his men look up and greet him as an equal in Gods sight: 'sThe Lord bless you too" Want of kinds ness and genuine politeness is the cause of much trouble with labor. Nothing binds the heart like these and they are like chains of steel.
 Another way is personal interest in the moral and Christian lives of men and women under their charge. The gospel should have @ fair field in commerce and get to the roots of mems lives Multitudes of men, even Christian men, think it impossible to ap- proach their workmen on matters of religion. The best evidence of Christianity which homeless young man in a large city can have is the lively sympathy of his employer.
 I think the best way for laboring man to achieve highest relations in the world is to conduct himself to live an honest, up right Christian man. You cannot treat him like dog or brute, for there is something in the man that forbids it. A large number of workingmen in the country do not respect themselves or fear God. The fear Of God is the beginning of wisdom.

FOrty-Third Annual Report
 OF THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

To the Members:
 Excepting loss which was fully made known immediately on discovery, the year 1888 has been one of great prosperity. In every direction the company experiences a steady increase of size and strength, with decreasing ratio of expenses; so that while it becomes thereby increasingly attractive to new insurers, it is also increasingly valuable to it's older members; it's new business being secured on such terms as to make it an ad- vantage and not an expense to them.
 OPERATIONS FOR 1888.

WHAT IS SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, &C., cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro- duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which deyelopes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesto tions usually ascribed to ''humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it.

The Directory fOr Nurses,

Now we'll advanced in the third year of it's existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for new enterprise. Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of @ hundred names are on our register representing the majority of the best nurses in this city and vicinity,
 both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for a compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- uated Nurses will generally command. It is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when a nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service.

How 's Ca Ca" CURE

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. "My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof- ulous sore neck from the time she was 22months old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeons egg, became runningsore for over three years. We gave her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely dis appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child.' J. s. CARLILE, Nauright, N. J.

MORTALITY.
 The death losses for the year were some what above our average experience, but were so far inside the mortality to be expected by the table and provided for by our premiums as to leave saving of about $480,000. For two years the death rate has been above our average. But even at It's highest it has been far below the mortality table, proving at once the careful selection of our business and the abundant safety of the table on which our operations are based.
 Our losses have been paid with equal re- gard to the prompt satisfaction of every just claim and to the protection of the honest members against every unjust claim.

We still follow the principle that when a company has reached any considerable size, not only is it better for both old and new mem- bers that new business should be taken only at such price as does not reduce the divi- dends or-the old, but that there should be 8 general tendency to a reduction in the ex- pense ratio to offset the slowly increasing diff ficulty of earning large dividends. Whatever is got in violation of this principle is source of ultimate weakness and not of strength, whatever it's magnitude. It is great satis- faction to the management that the company has been able to increase it's business at a re- duced rate of expense. It's new business is, therefore, peculiarly valuable. The expense ratio for 1888 WAS only 8.96 per cent, a ratio 1ess than that of any other company
