WHY RloH MEN INSURE.

Surprise is often expressed when a
E an known to be wealthy insures his
life. "What does he want with life in
surance? He owns a lot of property and
is interested in many mOhey-making en-
terprises. He is rich, says the unthink-
ing man. We have frequently set be-
fore us the well-known fact that many
rich men have little ready cash. They
may have the best of investments, but the
latter cannot be realized upon at once,
except perhaps at great loss. A life in
surance policy provides immediate cash
in the case of the death of the insured.
1t enables the heirs to protect the estate,
to wait until profitable disposal can be
made of it, and, what is often more i'm
portant, it furnishes an immediate fund
for the use of the widow or those who
have been dependent upon the deceased
during his lifetime. Such "A case is
often developed in the history Of the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York, where the insured was well-to-do,
according to the rating of the world, but
now that death has come it twill take

family in the future, but the life policy

worth more than its cost, is subject to
no shrinkage, and it comes at an hour
when it is sOrely needed, The Mutual
Lite Insurance company of New York is
the largest and best company in the
world, and has paid to its policy-holders
more money than any two of its com
pettors combined. Its policies afford
absolute security, protection and profit,
and are written in many forms to suit
all the necessities of the insuring public.

HANDS ARE TIED.
State Board OF Arbitration Not Yet
Asked to Assist in Settlement.

Boston, Aug. 22.-The members of the
State Board of Arbitration and Concilia-
tion are taking an active interest in the
New Bedford strike and are closely watch
ing the course of events.
To an Associated Press representative a
member of the board today stated that as
yet the board had no official knowledge
OF the conflict, but as result of the
announcements made in the papers both
the anufacturers and employees associ-
alton have been notified that the board
is ready and willing TO take hold of the
matter so that an amicable adjustment
may speedily be made.
No reply has been received from either
side, however.
Mr.. Warner, the commissioner on the
employers side, visited Fall River yester-
day, looked over the field and states that at
the present time neither side really knows
whau it wants and that IL will be some
days before the contestants idea will be
crystalized in the proper shape, when a
definite knowledge of their wants will no
doubt be made known.
The members OF he board say that the
same may be said of New Bedford. In the
opinion of the board matters will take a
definite form in day or two, but until
the board receives some notice from the
contestants nothing can be done.
