REPORT
Of the Directors to the Policy
Holders,
At the Annual Meeting January 20. 1895.

We submit herewith the Forty fifth
Annual Statement of the Union Mutual
Life Insurance Company. Ii is the rec
ord of the first calendar year of the present
administration of the affairs of the Com
pany and we believe that the Policy
holders will endorse it by sharing with
the Directors and Officers the feeling OF
satisfaction with which we contemplate
what has been accomplished since ouI
last report at the close of the year 1898.
Summary Of The Years Work.
A comparison with the results OF the
previous year shows that there have been
made increases in Assets, Surplus, Pre-
MUM. Interest and Rents, Insurance in
Force, and Dividends to Policy holders.
Notices OF Death.
We have maintained our rule to treat
rs liability all Notices Of Death received
during the year.
The notices for 1894 covered Si52, 62S of
Insurance, a decrease of S3372 from the
amount reported ia 1898, and although
on January !, 1874, the company had IS,
700 600 more insurance on its books than
ON January / 1890, the losses for 1894
were Sll2, $50 less than in 1885, More
convincing evidence of the wisdom of the
we'll known conservatism Of our company
in the selection Of its risks could not be
adduced.
In this connection, the following table
viii prove interesting:

1t is a well known practice of some conf
panics to make extraordinary efforts dur
ing the closing months of the year to
write large volumes of insurance by hold
ing out to their agents offers of bonuses
and extra allowances of unusual amounts.
This company has in some previous
years followed that prevailing custom to
some extent The final result has proved
that business obtained by other than
sound, conservative methods is not of a
permanent character, and during 1894, in
accordance with the policy of the present
management of our company, no offers of
bonuses or extra allowances have been
made, but VIC have been content to accept
only such business as our agents have
procured by legitimate means.
Fully realizing that quality is to be de
sired rather than quantity, we shall con-
tinue to conduct the business of our com
pany according to the best judgment of
its directors and officers.
We believe that income from renewal
premiums is the life-blood of the compa-
ny, and its permanent, solid and steady
growth is assured not alone by increased
amounts OF insurance written from year
to year, but more certainly by the sure
and certain increase of premium receipts.
The receipts from that source in 1898
were 1864 201. 0s and in 1894 were 1888,
552 -, showing q gain of $50, 35l.65.
Business in Maine.
The popularity of our company at home
is again demonstrated by the fact that
IA most satisfactory amount of new bust
ness has been written upon the lives Of
residents OF Maine.
The list Of new policy holders in this
State includes many of our prominent
business and professional men, who not
only personally know the directors and
officers of the company but who are af
forded unusual opportunities of obtaining
an intimate knowledge of the policy and
methods Of the management of the com
pany, and in which they have proved
their confidence by placing their insur-
ance with the Onion Mutual.
Economy OF Management.
As announced in our last report we
have conducted our business during 1894
ON what we believe to be safe principles
and by economic methods, and it gives
us pleasure to announce that large sav-
ings ia expenditure have been made in
many departments of the company.
This policy will be continued, and we
feel assured our Policy holders will rec
ognize that wherever We have been able
to make reductions in expenditures, they
have been made with an eye single to

which we owe our independence and SUI
premacy among the nations. In the face
of these grand achievements, which have
received the endorsement OF generations
past and present, and which have added
so UNNECESSARILY TO the dignity and great
ness, the grandeur and the power OF our
republic. must we be told today there Is
no constitutional power in congress TO
aid In the construction Of great national
and international inter oceanic waterway
connecting two great oceans, bringing
Into close business, social and commercial
relations, the two sides Of the continent,
which will do more to promote the gen
eral welfare in commercial, naval and
social sense, and at the same time add In
comparably to our provision for the com
mon defense, than any other one project
which ever received the sanction of the
congress of the United States"
Mr. Mitchell then took up each of the
objections reached by Mr.. Turpie and
reviewed and answered them at length.
He passed on to the importance Of the
canal to his own state and to the Pacific
coast. On this point he said:
"Of all sections Of the country which
are to be immensely benefited by the
canal, those bordering on or tributary 10
the Pacific ocean will be benefited most.
California, Oregon and Washington. while
prolific in a great variety of agricultural,
mineral, tim Der coal and other products,
are notably wheat growing states. The
Pacific coast has a surplus of about $780,
600 tons of wheat and flour. The prjnci-
pal market for this surplus is Liverpool.
This neceSSitates transportation by water
around Cape Horn, distance from San
Francisco of over l4000 miles. BY the
canal this water route TO Liverpool would
be shortened 6 600 miles, nearly one half.
This, it is estimated, will reduce the trans
portatioD charges from all Pacific ports
at least & per ton to say nothing of the
time saved. But infinitely greater will
be the advantage to the wool growers of
the Pacific coast, who find their principal
market for their surplus products in the
Atlantic coast ports, notably New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. AS the case
now stands, tn distaDce betweenPortland,
Oregon, and New York City by the all
water route l. / ,20OmileS further than such
all water routes between Portland and
Liverpool, which is 1880 miles. Con-
Struct the Nicaragua canal and the situa |
ton is immensely changed. Then Port |
land aud New York would be but 1886 |
miles from each other, and Portland and |
Liverpool by all water 1894 miles apart |
The effect this would inevitably have on |
the cost OF transportation of wool, lum
Der and fruit and other products of the |
far western states will be seen at a |
glance |
Mr., Mitchell concluded with an earnest
appeal for immediate and favorable ac-
ton on the bill

THE TEXAS LEAGUE.
A Meeting at Dallas-What will San
Antonio DoP

A meeting is being held at Dallas
today for the purpose of orRanng a
Texas Baseball League The prime NOV
ers in the affair are Messrs. Alex Easton,
district clerk AT Galveston, aud c. p. Fe-
gan, travelling passenger agent of the Tex
as and Pacific railway, at Dallas.
The league is to consist Of Texas cities
only, as follows: Galveston, Houston,
Waco, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort
Worth, and possibly Austin and DeniSon
and Sherman, one club TO represent the
two latter cities. The salary list is 10 be
500 for ten men.
Thus far San Antonio has not taken
sufficient interest in the matter to make
any effort to secure place in the
league, and from present indications it
seems that il league is organized San
AntOniO will be out of il. and the crankS
of the Alamo City will have to content
themselves another season with amateur
ball
The people Of this city favor a league
and will support good professional team,
but no one of means and influence has vet
been found to take the matter up. San
Antonio ranks second to none as a base
ball town, with any city in the state, and
with a good team the cranks would 90

Talmage to Preach in New York
New YORK, Jan. 5.-Dr. T. De-
Witt Talmage has completed the
arrangements, begun before his re-
turn from his trip around the
world by Louis Klopsch, to preach
in the New York Academy of
music. The services in the Acade-
my OF music will begin tomorrow
so as to interfere in no
way with the services in the
churches. He will preach each
Sunday. Mr.. Talmage stated re-
Gently that he comes to New York
because friends here have been
urging him for years, and he could
not expect that a fourth church
will be built for him in Brooklyn.
This city will afford him the larg-
est opportunity in the world. The
lecture platform, he stated, has
never offered so many attractions
to him as now. Some Of the offers
are almost fabulous. But it is his
business not to make money, but
to preach the Gospel. DR.. Talmage
will remain a resident Of Brook
Ign. The New York arrangement
will decide his field of work for
the rest Of his life.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.
For the Daily LIGHT:

For the Daily LIGHT:
Mr.. Santleben has already de-
feated one attempt at fraudulent
registration and all ..-
citizens hope he will be equally
vigilant and firm to the close OF
the registration.
Every good citizen wishes to
see a fair, honest and legal election
and we cannot have such an cleo,
ton, if nomadic MeXicans who are
not citizens, are to be fraudulently
registered and voted. Public senti-
ment must be aroused and arrayed
| against election frauds, and all
patriotic citizens should unite as
one man in order to free San
Antonio. from the stigma Of i'm
porting MeXicans at every election
to overslaugh the votes of citizens
and tax payers.
Which side fixed up the three
MeXicans and sent them up to
register in fraud of the law? Who
coached and fixed them up for
registration? The grand jury
should inquire searchingly into
this attempted fraudulent registra-
ton, and if there be sufficient
evidence, indict the guilty party
or parties.
The only way to stop these
chronic and disgraceful election
frauds, which have cast a stigma
on San Antonio, is to enforce the
law, manfully and firmly against
such frauds.
The grand jury is on guard and
it must,neither doze nor sleep on
its post but perform it's sworn duty
without fear, favor or affection"
In times past leaky grand jurors
are reputed to have frustrated in
vestigations by informing parties
OF what was going on in that body
of grand inquisitors. When our
grand juries shall so far forget
their oaths as to screen guilty
parties from deserved punish
ment, nothing except resort to
the court Of Judge Lynch will be
left to suffering and outraged
people. The people expect the
grand jury to do it's duty, regard
less of consequences.
The LIGHT, by publishing the
names of all who register, is TAX
ing the best possible course to
Illustrate fraudulent registration,
and it deserves the thanks of all
who are friendly to an honest and
lawful registration and election.
Let citizens in each ward examine
this list and report all who are not
actual citizens whose names ap-
pear in this list.
A spic and span new set OF
judges and managers of election
would be capital move. Let the
"titelbarnacles" be choked off.

Mr.. Fred Carolus was made the
victim of a petty theft, which was
not great loss financially, but
was very annoying under the cir

His horse and buggy were hitch
ed in the back yard OF Convention
hall, and the thief did nothing
but unfasten the collar off the
horse, leaving all the rest Of the
harness, but walking away with
the collar.
