SOME POINTERS!!

Not one man in a thousand can say
a life policy would not benefit his fam
ilv were he to die tomorrow. there
fore, every man should be insured.
There are thousands of families in
want to-day, because their natural pro.
tector persisted in waiting for aeon
venient season. for taking out a pol
icy.
It is unwise to defer until tO-mor 'ow
what can be done to-day.
One of the wealthiest merchants in
New York says: Il am satisfied that a
life insurance policy is the best invest
ment man can make. | carry all
that | am able"
Because men drop out Of their bus
mess at time when they least eX-
pect death, they should not defer Sc
curing the safeguards of life insurance.
A life insurance policy in good COM
pany, is as good security as Govern
ment bond.
Whenever a man decides to insure
his life, he cannot be too careful in
selecting a company. In its various
plans of insurance, and the security
offered, no company eXcels THE EQUlT-
ABLE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF TIE

A Bill to Establish a Coast Guard.

A bill which will be of much interest to
the militia of Maine was favorably acted up
on Tuesday by the committee on military af-
fairs in Washington. The bill proposes to
authorize the governor of each state border
ing on the gulf, ocean or lakes to select one
choice regiment for the militia organization
Of the state for instruction in the art of coast
defence. 1t provides that they shall be in
structed under army officers in the art of
fort building, submarine mining, torpedoes,
handling of heavy ordnance, and other work
of this character. 1t is proposed by this pro-
cess to furnish the country with drilled
force of thirty militia regiments Of twelve
companies each for use in the coast de-
fences IL necessary. One regiment is to
be selected from Maine, one from Missis-
sippi, one from Alabama and one from
Elorida

TWELVE TEMPTATIONS.

TWELVE TEMPTATIONS.
The Twelve Temptations" like all spec
tacles, never fails to draw large audience
in Portland, and last night proved no ex-
ception. There was very large audience
on hand, and all the ballots and special
features were warmly applauded. The lead
ing comedy role, Snoro Apropos, falls to Mr.
Jacques Kruger, who is as good as he was
when he played in Portland twenty years
ago. Pleasing scenes are the meeting with
the polar bears and the combat with the
monster dragon. The village beadle, notary
and doctor, by Messrs. Chas. O'Brien,
Augustus Pixley and Tate Ducrow, consti.
tute an interesting trio. Mr.. Burton Stanley
of old Wally Ward days-does clever piece
of eccentric comedy in his personation OF
Dame Wursa, the mistress of the Golden
Rudder. Miss Florence Ashebrooke as
Solaris and Miss Mai Estelle as Zero, the
two queens Of opposite dominions, were
both good. The two soubret les, Miss Jennie
West and Miss Florence Ashebrooke, com
pleted the bevy of attractive femininity, and
added materially to the personality of the
play. Miss West does Bright Eyes, a snow
nymph and has very popular song ant
dance. An agreeable vocal selection is con
tributed by Miss Stella Stewart. The stage
coach acrobatic performance was another in
cidental addition, and the eccentric dance
Cleveland, Harrison, Thurman and Morton
was well received. The act given by Wong
Chang, the Chinese spider, excited great ap.
plause. There were other special features
making up long and diversified perform
ance.
The beautiful cockatoo ballet with five
live cockatoos and the ballet march of the
nations met with tremendous applause.
Miles. Eloise and Marie Bonfanti, with M
Victor Chiado, led the ballet in good shape
The performance will be repeated tonight.

BROKE A WHEEL.
Narrow Escape on the Mountain
Division.

Thursday afternoon the regular passenger
train on the mountain division of the Maine
Central, due at Lake Sebago station at 40
D. No., was on its way to Portland. and just
as it had slowed up to enter the station atlthe
lake, a wheel on the locomotive broke and
the engine left the iron, and plowed over
the ties for about the length of engine and
tender. A message was sent to Baldwin,
where there was freight train, for the
freight engine, and that locomotive soon ap-
peared. The damaged wheel of the passen-
ger engine was bound up so that the engine
could be got on to the rails and shifted on
to siding, and then the freight engine
brought the passenger train to Portland.
The six O'Clock train for Boston was held to
await the delayed train. Nobody was hurt
but it was narrow escape. If the wheel
had broken as the train came around the
curve just before entering the station it Is
highly probable the train would have run
into the lake. 1t was an accident that could
not have been averted.

THE REDUCTION of the existence of the
Atchison voting trust from ten years to I've
should remove the chief objection which has
heretofore deferred many holders of the
stock from turning in their certificates. The
trust may strike some of the stockholders AS
vestlng few gentlemen with very excep-
tional powers but admitting that it does, it
should be remembered that the position Of
the Atchison is abnormal. and that these
very gentlemen have devised and carried out
the reorganization scheme by which fore
closure and a receivership were avoided. The
key of the Atchtson situation at present is
in the stock. At the going price any COM
petitor would have to pay only about 3d.
OOO,0 to buy control. Those most familiar
with Atchison believe that in few years
the stock can be made worth great deal
more than its present price, if in the mean
while it is protected from the exercise of
those peculiar tactics Of the stock market
with which all railroad shareholders ought
by this time to be familiar. The stockhold
ers, if they act together, resolutely holding
on to their stock and refusing to be cajoled
or frightened out of it, could OF course battle
any scheme to wrest the control from them
The easiest and most practicable form of
union to keep the control out of the hands of
hungry competitors is the voting trust as al
ready outlined by its projectors. Many of
the heaviest stockholders have given in their
adhesion, thus showing that those having
the largest amount at risk in Atchson are
believers in the plan. To us it seems clear
that Atchison stockholders have nothing to
lose by the plan and everything to preserve.
A careful study of its details should be suf-
fcient to remove hesitation to come into the
agreement which has for its purpose the
keeping of control for the next five years in
the hands of its present holders These
years are precious to Atchison. They can
be passed in no more Improbable way than
in fighting for control.
