How Old Orchard Looks While its
Glory is Deparfing.


Glory is Departing.
Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Sept. s.
1t was one of my boyhood's delights
to see spectacular plays with rapid
transformations, etc. Old Orchard
has in the past few days presented
such a transformation.
The traditional "R" in September
seems to have as magical an effect on
Old Orchard as upon the oyster.
The oyster comes suddenly into
prominence and Old Orchard sinks
into oblivion. For the last three or
four days the outward pieces of bag
gage can be counted by hundreds.
The beach is nearly deserted. The
bathers, though few, are merrily
making the most of it. Cottages are
boarded up. Hotels show closed
doors. The merry go round" has
quietly folded its tent and stolen
away. The candy stands no longer
bestow sweetness upon a gaping
crowd, but are given up to flies and
wasps. The electric railway to
Biddeford has dropped its second
car, and the single one finds few oc-
cupants. The merry promenade at
the railway station is dim with the
light from kerosene lamps, the
railroad company having dispensed
with electric lights for the season.
The mail bag has the appearance of
having been pressed by the foot of
Jumbo" or some Of his descendants.
l had dreary word picture of Old
Orchard presented to me last evening.
| cannot reproduce it in it's dreari-
ness, but the untrodden snow, with
an occasional visitor to the post
office or the one or two open stores,
the rapid passing Of trains which on
ly occasionally stop at the boarded
depot, are prominent features.
Do not for moment think, how
ever, that Old Orchard is not now
attractive. The weather is superb.
A clear, bracing atmosphere, a daz-
cling sun, just enough company to
prevent loneliness. The sportive seal
in the surf, the quarrelsome gulls
above, and the unobtrusive sand
pipers on the beach, altogether rem
der anything but enjoyment out of
the question. Now is the time for
quiet rest and recuperation. Of all
the months give me September at
the beach. The cyclone of last week
is said to have been grand beyond
description here. The waves dashed
madly against the sea wall, which
they very rarely reach, and the
streets leaving the beach were filled
with a seething mass of foam.
Prof. Chapman left Lawrence Cot
tage this morning for his new field of
labor, Wabash College, Crawfords-
vile, Ind. The cottage under his
management is as popular as ever,
having done larger business this
season than any other, with the ex.
ception of last, which was exception
ally good everywhere. The Pro-
lessor now expects to spend next
season at the cottage, the same as in
the past. The larger houses have
not had an average season, but the
smaller ones have done well. B.

An interesting decision just made
in the New Hampshire courts in

that the property belongs to Coe &

STOCK CAPITAL
VS..
MUTUAL.

In 1870 there were 65 Life Insurance Com.
panies doing business in Massachusetts of
this number 4s were stock companies from
other states, and only 9 are in existence
today. OF the 10 purely mutual, old line
companies 10 are in existence and in good
financial standing today. Two small mu.
tual companies, one starting business in SCI
and one in 1868, went out of business in
1871 and 1877. AS far as l can discover
these are the only mutual companies in bust.
ness that year but what are in business TODAY
Several OF the stock companies in existence
at that time have retired their stock. and
are now purely mutual companies.
WHICH WILL YOU TAKE?
your chance WITH. purely mutual, or
stock company on the experience of the past?
One stock company well known in this sec.
ton, having a stock capital in 1870 of a
trifle over 100000, has, by cunningly de-
vised means, assisted by the Connecticut
legislature, taken from the earnings of the
company, from time to time, until they now
have a capital stock of one and one-half mil.
lions, and upon this enormous sum they nav
their stockholders 10 per cent. dividend
every year No wonder the insurance com.
missioner of Massachusetts in his annual aI re-
port OF 1889 made this quotation: And the
principle OF stock control is wrong today
and forever"
The report of the Massachusetts companies
during this time is worthy of investigation:
Six companies starting business in 1923 to
1862, three stock and three mutual comma.
MES are all in existence today and in splendid
financial standing, which shows concusively
that the laws of that state cannot be eX.
celled, therefore | make the broad claim of
having the finest mutual company in the
United States, and under the best laws in the
world, namely: The State Mutual Life Assur.
