UNION MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany issued New Policies covering more
than Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
of Insurance in the month of Jlily-by
far the largest amount written in any
corresponding month during the past
seventeen years. -a
1t is equally gratifying to note that ten
per cent. Of this New Business was issued
upon the lives of Maine Citizens.
At first sight it partakes somewhat of
the nature of paradox that at the pres
ent time when so much financial trouble
is rife, that so many people are to be
found willing, in fact anxious to either
increase the amount of Life Insurance
they are carrying; or, in the case Of those
who have been hitherto lax in their duty
in this connection, willing to embark
anew therein, But the seeming paradox
is speedily dispelled when little thought
is given to the matter and IN It's place
glowing tribute seen, which is being I'M
consciously paid to Life Insurance.
OF all forms of Investment, when finan-
cial preservation parades itself as
stern duty to ones self and family. the
thoughtful discerning men of the COM
munity betake themselves to Insurance
in one of its many forms. The reason
of this is, that where 30 much uncer-
tainty prevails, attention is naturally
directed to that commodity which of all
others presents the nearest approach to
fixity of value. This naturally induces
those who already possess Insurance TO
obtain more and the same reason impels
those whose lives are not insured to at
once get their risk covered.

Bravado and Indifference to the Fate
That Awaits Him.

LEBANON, N. H., May 15.-Sherif Hurl
burt left here on the early train this morn
ing, and took with him the rope for the
Almy hanging. 1t has been tested with a
~e00-pound sandbag. There is no truth In

gallows will be set up today. Thus far
there nave been over 300 applications for
tickets to the execution.
Almy's Last Hours.
CONCORD, N. H., May 8. Frank G.
Amy very quietly lived out his last Sab
bath. From outside surroundings one
would never suppose that such an event
as the hanging of Christie Warden's cruel
murderer was so close at hand. Other
than a few casual remarks, no n here
appears to be more than ordinarily inter-
ested in the approaching fate of Almy.
Almy himself is no exception to the rule.
That same hard, unfiinching bearing that
he has exhibited ever since his capture as
serts itself in these, his last hours on earth,
which are marked with scarcely a shadow
of on his part. Faltered he
has not, as Is Perfectly natural for any one
before some severe ordeal. He shows some
nervousness; perhaps, about in the same
that some young student would
show it before making his graduating de-
clamation.
Almy arose very early, by the time 1t
was light. He had rested well, and
Looked q Little Brighter
than he did Saturday. AS usual, he was
very quiet, and it was not many hours be-
fore he went to work In his usual way,
reading and figuring. Lately he has done
considerable figuring, largely of a nature
relating to some of his scientific books.
Chaplain wilkins visited him and stayed
but a very short time. Almy had nothing
new to say, and they merely talked of
general matters, but with personal refer
Chaplain wilkins, by The way, has
given reporters to understand that there
will be considerable to report ON Tuesday
morning.
There Is nc doubt that the usual privi-
lege of a speech upon the scaffold will be
allowed Almy. II he cares to say anything
TO those assembled TO witness his execu-
ton, there Is no reason why he should not
say 1t. Upon this point Chaplain wilkins
is in doubt. He says Amy may go to the
scaffold without saying more than he al
ready has said, and it is equally likely that
he will make a final speech before the drop
Is sprung.
