The Connecticut Mutual,

| The annual statement of the Connecti.
 cut Mutual Life Insurance Company, and
 President Greene's annual report to its
 members, are printed elsewhere.
 The assets have now crossed $eO. .OOO.. I 900, and are almost $61 ,OOO, ,OOO, havine increased over 8 ,O00, ,0OO during the year.
 Indeed, the company has had year oi healthy growth in all directions. Its sur plus, already over $6,OOO, ,OOO, has in- creased $367, TIA, and the total amount of insurance has increased nearly $3,OOO,- OOO, and reaches the immense figure of $!o1, ,757 ,3O2. And everybody knows this will all be paid when it is due.
 The strength of the Connecticut Mutual is something people try to measure some times, but they never question it. It's as- sets are admirably invested, and it's man. agement is clean and capabl le.
 The real estate investments of the Con nectlcut Mutual were criticised years ago, but since 1879 the company has sold real estate that cost it $8, ,907, 719, and has got for. it SIC, ,553, ,625, thus gaining $1 .645.- 906 out of what some croakers said must bring heavy loss. The test of all these things is time, and that is the test that the Connecticut Mutual is conducted to meet.
 A most interesting and suggestive change in public opinion is indicated by the comment that is heard upon this com- pany. Some years ago its conservatism, was thrown out rather as term of re- proach in various quarters. To-day that same conservatism is cited as the foun- dation for the faith which is everywhere felt in it and it's management. The course of the company has been the same all along. Colonel Greene has his policy and his ideals. He has every year ex- plained fully to policy holders and the public his notions of how the business of life insurance should be conducted, and he has conducted it that way. Now he finds the drift of sentiment his way, and the company cited as an illustration of strength and safety:.
 It is big enough to be independent; it takes only such business as is worth talk ing, it meets all it's obligations; it df- vides years increasing dividend among its insured it's policy draws to it the more conservative people, who are conse- quently by their nature the better risks; and it is daily fulfilling the purposes for which it is chartered, and is sure to do so as long as its present policy holds.

JUDGE HAMMERsLY was representa- tive from Hartford at the time of his ap- pointment, which was made after the specified time within which an election might be held to fill the vacancy made by his resignation.

If this is done, it is said that the repub- licans will run ex- Governor Bulkeley, ,who, it is understood, consents.

l All the democrats are not in favor oi
 reducing the strength of the towns in
 legislation for the benefit of the cities. The Litchfield Enquirer says:
 The New Haven Register, the cham pion of the cause of city rule for the
 whole state, in seeking to find an explana-
 tion of the apathy with which the subject has been treated since the close of the
 heated campaign in November says:/ The failure of great number to ap- pear from over the state before the legis- lature in favor of the bill to revise the
 constitution through the medium of a
 convention is not to be accounted for on
 the ground that public interest has fallen off in the measure since it registered It. self at the recent election. It is due, in part, to ignorance of the time set for the hearing; in part to the inability of many interested to leave their business, and finally to feeling of more or less preva- fence that the responsibility of formulat- ing before the committee the opinion of each locality is the business of the repre- sentatives and senators, who have been
 elected to speak for their constituencies,
 as we'll as act for them.'
 If by lover the state'' the Register
 means to include the country towns, we
 beg to inform our contemporary that it's explanation, or rather excuse, is rather wide of the mark. The truth is that while in campaign like that of last fall the rank and file of party will appar- ently, for the good of the general ticket, swallow any doctrine promulgated by the
 party leaders, still, after the campaign is over, and upon mature deliberation, will act as they think best for their own inter-
 ests and for the good of their neighbors.
 Thus, while the democrats in the country
 towns did not openly revolt against the constitutional reform on the eve of elec-
 tlon, they will not now be whipped into line to actually vote against their own in- terests.

A law case of considerable importance is on the way to decision by the highest court in Connecticut. Some months ago the Middlesex theatre, then just finished. in Middletown, was badly damaged by-a fire originating from some mysterious case. It was the belief that the electric wires caused the fire. Sheriff Brown has since served a writ of attachment on the Middletown Electric Light Company, in behalf of the Middlesex Assurance Com pany, which controls the theatre, to re- cover damages in the sum of $4O, 1000 caused by partial burning of the building. It is claimed the fire originated through the imperfect insulation of the electric wires

The report of the nativity and parent age of the prisoners and paupers in the United States, prepared by Rev. Frederick H. Wines, special agent of the census office, set forth in bulletin No. 352 has a special importance for it's comparisons of the native and foreign elements in the prisons and almshouses of the country. Of 83, 329 prisoners there were 57,31O of purely white blood, 24,277 negroes, 4O7 Chinese, 13 Japanese, and 322 Indians. Of the IA, 4,62O parents of the white pris- oners, 45,73 were native, 6O,153 were foreign born, and the birthplaces of 8, ,735 were reported as unknown. Quitting the unknown, the percentage of prisoners of the native element is 43. 19 and of the for eign element 56.81. Of the 73,O45 paul. pers in almshouses there 66,578 whites, 6,418 negroes, 13 Chinese, and 36 Indians
 Of the 133, 156 parents of the white paul. pers, 5,216 were native, 63, 3,5s7 were for eign born, and 24 ,354 unknown as to birth place. Omitting the unknown, as in the case of prisoners, 41.56 per cent. of the paupers were of native and 58. A per cent

Nor for years has worse spell ot weather been known than that of the past . week. The 'tbig blizzard" of 1888 leads in depth of snow, but in it's period of con. t1nuance, it's searching, cutting winds and the zero weather, this one shows fea. lures that entitle it to consideration also The roads have not been so completely blockaded now as then, but, aside from that one overshadowing event, it is at least 20 years since snow storms have been known so troublesome as those of this week. Paths have been broken only to be filled again by succeeding storms and winds. Railroading has been diff- cult. The N. L. N. had pretty good luck on Monday until a freight car got derail- ed at State Line, making a blockade of several hours. Again on Wednesday tracks became for time obstructed, fill ing again almost immediately after clear ing, and trains were uniformly late. The frst>train south was nearly on time, though it was nearly noon before the following train, due at Stafford Springs at S.2O, came into the station drawn by two engines. Here was waiting the boat train from the south, which had arrived at about S.30. The two trains, each drawn by two engines, immedi- ately left, and few minutes later the train due from the south at 10. also passed on it's way. The boat train en- tireiy omitted it's trip of Wednesday eve ming and Thursday morning. The Block Island train north became stalled near State Line last night, and remained there until got out by rescuing train this morning. But one passenger was on board. The track is now clear again. The Holland. Rockville stage made no trips on Monday. In Ellington much trouble was caused by a coal famine and the difficulty teams had in going to Rockville in quest of tempo rary supplies. Some Rockville incidents were: One man became exhausted in trying to dig out his team and had to be taken to the nearest house. Another man abandoned his wagon and finished, the trip on horseback. A. M. Bancroft superintendent of the Ellington creamery. started for his home in Rockville, but was obliged to leave his team in a barn and walk home through the fields. The milkmen were all very late, and had much difficulty in reaching town.

The Chicago and Northwestern Rail- road will elevate all it's tracks within the limits of Chicago, at an expense of SPA 100000. The plans provided for the ele. vation of twenty miles of first and second track, and 143 miles of side track. The company estimates that the interest on the $24 ,0O0, ,O0O will be less than the amount it is now compelled to pay an- nually on account of litigation and judg- ments arising from deaths and personal injuries due for the most to grade cross ings.

of 45 Main street last Sunday, preparatory to mending their double ripper" found hidden there a package of money, musty and mildewed, ,as fin hiding for long time. The boys divided the money by "grab system" and the father of one took his lad with the find to a police station. Some of the boys would not give up their part, but most of the money is in the hands of the police, and the entire amount is esti- mated at $500. No clue to the owner ship has been found.
 IT looks as if Kansas had narrowly es- capped second bloody period in it's his- tory. At the last election majority of the representatives chosen were republi- cans, the, populists getting majority of the senators. Very few democrats were chosen to either branch. The populist minority in the house, backed by popu- list governor, proceeded to organize by themselves, first voting in enough popu- list contestants to the seats of republi- cans to provide themselves with a quorum. The republican members were excluded from the representative hall, and altogeth CT ignored in the conduct of business. Among other things U. s. senator was chosen-John Martin, democrat. Last week in some way the republican mem- bers got possession of the representative chamber and held it. All means were taken to dispossess them, but failed. The heat was shut off. but they braved the cold. Friends smuggled in food to them. The governor called out the militia, also the sheriff and posse, but it was evident that the sympathy of these and of the people generally was with the republicans, and their presence was an aid and con- fort to the republicans rather than to the populists. In fact, the governor was fair ly put on the defensive and was glad to make peace which gave the republicans assurance that they would not be molest- ed in the possession of the hall. Further, the district court has enjoined the pay ment of salaries to the populists, and has nullified their acts, including the election of U. $. senator. At the present time the populists seem to have very much the worst of the matter
