COUNSEL TO MBN Oh LARGE
AFFAIRS.

During such a period Of financial
disturbance as the present, you find
it necessary to concentrate all your
talents and energies or the manage
ment of your affairs.
You cannot safely delegate the
work to another.
At this time, any one else, no
matter what his ability, would be
unable to successfully conduct your
business, or protect your invest
ments, as we'll as you can.
But there is a chance tl.at you
may at any moment be forced thus
to turn your affairs over to the
management of another-namely,
in the event of your death.
Remember, that executors often
think more about avoiding risks
and protecting themselves than of
carrying out the spirit Of the testa-
tors views, They generally lack
experience in the business they are
Il lDS W m1AS4 p'
This inexperience and possible
lack of interest may cost 100 15 per
cent. of the value Of your estate, or
more.
You cannot but recognize the
truth Of this statement;n nevertheless
you can guard against this loss by
assuring your life for the:amouns
which in your judgment your exc
cutors would waste in winding up
your estate.
You can easily, by economizing
a little in your living expenses, pay
from your income the premium on
a policy for $4,000 or s100, 600,
issued by the strongest financial
institution Of its kind in the world,
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States, 190
Broadway, New York.
If you then chance to die, your
executor will be Instantly in the
possession of $500, 600 or 500, 600 of
cash IN hand;; and ready money will
have a to1rtold value if death comes.
On the other hand, if you live,
and take your assurance (for ex-
ample) on the 20 year Tontine En-
doWment plan, you will yourself
reap a rich reward on maturity OF
the policy.
The following is an illustration Of
one out of many such policies
maturing in 1885,
r. J. RILEY.
June 2, 1893.
NJ B.-The writer oftbe aboue letter
has applied to the Equitable for a me0
policy for fue times the amount ofthe
original policy.

The second edition of the Cosnaopol-
aaa for September brought the total
edition up to 2l1.000 copies, without
doubt the largest edition Of any maya
zine. in the world for this month. It
remained for the Cosmopolitan to have
thesWorld's Fair treated in single
number by twelve different writers. AS
the exposition of1993 must remain one
of the leading events in the history Of
the United States, the most distin-
guished men were asked to prepare
this magazine volume, which is des-
tined to become valuable as onS Of the
most perfect descriptions of theWorld's
Fair. Among the number Of those who
contribute are our only ex-president,
Walter Besant, the most distinguished
ofthe English literary men who visited
the exposition, and a host of others.
Besides the usual fiction, including
story by Mark Twain, entitled, "Is He
Living or Is He Dead" and the regu.
lar departments, The Cosmopolitan
contains nearly one hundred illustra-
tions devoted to the Worlds Fair, in
cluding eleven full pages. Its COM
pletely illustrated guide or souvenir, as
one prefers to call it, by the most fam
Gus writers of the day, put before the
reader at the price of y! cents, and
more than the equal of the books of the
Fair which sell for seventy-five cents
and one dollar.
The Cosmopolitan for October closes
Volume XIV. It contains an interest
ing historical sketch of Some Rejected
Princesses, illustrated from contempo-
rary portraits; timely article on Prl-
vate Schools for Boys, some charming
views of Old Newport, Notes on An
clcnt Rome by Rodolfo Lanciani and
another article on Rome, the Capital OF
q New Republic, by F. Marion Craw-
ford. There is also an instailnent OF
lighter reading, with entertaining para
graphs on Art and Letters, and auo-
ther section on the Progress of Science.
How the managers can get up so law
ishly illustrated and beautifully printed
q magazine with its contributions from
well-known writers for Sl.50 q year
passes our comprehension.

Senator Finley Painfully Hurt in Fight
TCoIumbia Journal


Rock HILL, S. c., Oct. lS.-Quite
an excitement was caused on our streets
to-day about O'Clock by fstcuff be-
tween the Hon. D. E. Finley, State
Senator from York county, and Louis
Friedheim. young veterinary surgeon
of this State.
It seems that Friedheim had been
doctoring mule for a tenant of Sens
tor Finley's and presented a bill for
his services to Mr.. Finley, who was in
the city to-day. Mr.. Finley refused to
pay him as the mule did not belong to
him, whereupon Friedheim became
very angry and his language got 80
abusive that Mr.. Finley struck him
with his cane. Bystanders then sepa-
rated them for a time. but about half
an hour later, as Mr.. Finley was walk
ing down the street, Friedheim crossed
over from his fathers store, coming up
with him in front Of the First National
Bank and struck him, it seems, from
behind, knocking him down. Finley
has just recovered from spell of ty-
phoid fever and in his weak state the
blow Of his head against the granite
pavement, although partially broken
by his falling sideways on his shoulder,
knocked him senseless. He received
medical attention Immediately and
after short time recovered conscious
ness, although he was quite sick after
ward, and it is feared that the effects
may prove serious. He was able to
take the Three C's train for Yorkville,
which was about an hour late. There
are several versions of the affair, but
the above is the one most generally
credited.

When my little girl was one month old, she
had a scab fonn on her face. It kept spread
ing until she was completely covered from
head to foot. Then she had boils. She had
forty on her head at one time, and more on
her body. When six months old she Gid not
weigh seven pounds, a pound and half less
than at birth. Then her skin started to dry
up and got SO bad she could not shut her eyes
tosleep, but laid with them ha.f open. About
this time, at the earnest request of friends, I
started using the CUTIcUA REMEDIES, and
in one month she suas completely cured.
The doctor and drug bills were over one Gur-
dred dollars, the Cuticura bill was not more

MANSFIELD,

'-Dr. Noah Greasy, of Hartford, gave a lecture in the winter course at the Storrs' school, recently, on Vertebrate Morphol- ogy," or mans relation to the lower anil mals. The lecturer brought out to the school fine mounted skeleton of the lion to illustrate his talk, and after he had finished, to the great surprise of all, presented the skeleton to the school. It will be remembered that the doctor gave the school about one hundred valuable school books last fall. The school has a large library room, with shelves sufficient for 20, ,O00 to 1000 volumes. Of course very little of the shelf room is now in use. Dr. Cressy's gift will be useful part of the furniture of the room if no better place is at hand, and friends of the school may well consider the matter of helping to fill the vacant book shelves
