who was honest and upright in his deal

and we understand that he has filled
orders from neatly every state in the

and never tired of acquainting himself
with everything taught ia that volumiu-
Gus book. In the intervals oflabor he found
time TO thoroughly investigate the
science of geology and had collected a
valuable cabinet of minerals in which
were many rare specimens. This col

guarded with a watchful eye and care
fully preserved as memorial of the

state insurance Business.
Last Year was an Unusually Disastrous
One for Wire Community.

Last Year Was an Unusually Disastrous
One for Fire Companies.
Secretary of State Brownell and State
Treasurer Field, who are the state insur-
ance commissioners, have made their an
nual report to the governor. The number
of Vermont companies organized and do
ing business is five, two life and three fire,
the Atlas Guarantee company, chartered
by the state, maintaining its organization
but not transacting any business in the
state. The insurance companies organized
under the laws of other states and coun-
tries licensed to do business in Vermont
for the insurance year ending March 81,
1892, numbered 81, divided as follows:
Fire companies, 81; life, 20; assessment
life, six, and miscellaneous, IA. Five fire
insurance companies have withdrawn from
the state during the year, and five have
been admitted to the state. One life, one
assessment and one plate glass company
have also been admitted. None of the
speculative endowment or bond concerns
are doing business in the state with the
sanction of the commissioners, and the on
ly one which has persistently sought ad-
mission has been unable to show assets
and a reserve fund sufficient to meet the
requirements for license.
The fire insurance business for the year
was an unusually disastrous one in Yer
mont, as everywhere else. The total
amount paid by both foreign and home
companies was SG14, 34S. Is, while for the
previous year it was only SS327, 1902.
The loss of the home companies was not
so great into $1,000 as in the previous year,
but the loss of foreign companies was
nearly trebled, reaching $40, 96796.

OF BOSTON.

About two months ago, the Toilet Paper Sup
ply company, In which many prominent Brattle-
boro people are Interested, opened an office at a
Globe building, Boston, Mass, and are meeting
with success all along the line They have placed
about 900 shares of stock with leading men i'm
Bratteboro, Bennington, Husdale. Brooklyn,
Rutland, Orange and Boston; 10000 machines
are being built by the Leavitt machine company
of Orange and are guaranteed to work perfectly.
A large number of prominent railroads will allow
them to be placed in their cars and stations and
a handsome return on the money put Into this
enterprise is assured beyond doubt The men
who have charge of the active work, are all push
ers, viz, Hon Hosea Mann, jr, of Wilmington is
the general manager and has special charge of
placing the stock; Frank j. Post of Boston has
charge of obtaining railroad privileges and Frank
Il. HOush is in charge OF the Boston office as
secretary and treasurer, Some of the reasons
why an investment in this stock is a safe one are:
list, the company expend all the money in
chimes that cost but a small sum, which pay for
themselves the first year No money is put into a
large plant for manufacturing with its attendant
risks. I'd, there is no dead capital. Machines are
built as fast as places are found TO put them.
They Immediately bring a return in cash the day
they are put up. Sd, the legitimate profit is
enormous. The roll Of paper which costs ten
cents, will yield 81 cash down. Can such bust
ness carefully managed help paying good div
