HOPEFUL.

Mark Tapley's habit of coming out
strongest when things looked the worst
for him would qualify him to be "a
leading Democrat" if he were in this
part of the world now. 1t might even
make him chairman of the Democratic
national committee. The party sorely
needs a Mark Tapley at it's head, and
Chairman Harrity is doing his best to
meet the long felt want. He is coming
out strong. He says the Democrats are
hopeful and are growing more hopeful
every day. If Mckinley is nominated
he Is confident that Democratic success
next November will be extremely
probable" Extremely probable is good
He says further: The effect of McKin-
ley's nomination will be felt long be-
fore the Democratic convention is held.
| believe that his nomination will in
spire a general belief that the Demo-
Gratis will carry New York and that
this belief will raise the courage of the
Democracy throughout the country
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and
other doubtful States usually follow
the lead of New York, and when the
Democrats in those States are thor
oughly aroused a very lively campaign
is sure to follow. So, considering the
whole situation, think the Democrats
have good reasons for being hopeful.
This is cheering layout The Dem
ocrats certainly have good reasons for
being hopeful. They are just such rea-

population there is rapidly disappear
ing, the death rate far exceeding the
birth rate, and before very long these
interesting little people will be practi-
cally extinct. They have delicate con-
situations, not being able to Withstand
sickness from which Europeans easily
recover. Fifty years is the extreme
limit of age among them, and, partly
owing to the great mortality of infants,
the average length Of life is only about
twenty-five years. From time to time
epidemics of measles and other COM
plants communicated from the whites
have destroyed large numbers of them.
Their ill-success in rearing their Off
spring Is due in a great measure to the
custom by which each infant is sucked
by the women Unfortunately. In this
manner diseases are spread. 1t is no.
notable fact that no idiots or lunatics
are ever found among the Andamanese.
They had no knowledge Of intoxicants
until the Europeans came. Like most
savages, they have readily acquired a
taste for whiskey and both men and
women have become inveterate smok-
ers Of tobacco.
1t used to be supposed that the An
damanese We're cannibals, but this be-
lief has no foundation in fact. They
express the greatest horror of the GUS
tom. Marriages among them are ar
ranged by go-betweens, and newly
married couples are SO bashful that
commonly they do not exchange q word
or even look at each other for some
days after the ceremony.

HAIR.

Some years ago a thoughtful scientist
showed an admiring world how the hui
man race had changed from a condi-
ton Of monkey-like hairiness to a, con-
d1t1on OF comparative hairlessness. He
pictured the hairy human being as rub
bling the hair off it's launches by much
sitting; as rubbing the hair off it's
back by much leaning against things.
And he showed how when the hair was
rubbed off and thinned out in various
ways it was kept so in various ways.
His theory seemed sound and his facts
were impressive. That he was right is
now made plain by another thoughtful
scientist, Professor Sigmund Exner, of
Vienna, who shows the intimate rela-
ton between the depilation and the
evolution of humanity. Professor Ex-
ner declares that hair is q, stamp of
mans imperfection. There was time
when our progenitors looked very much
like apes. Hair, says the German
scholar, is a. degenerated organ, not
without it's functions, but largely a
relic of savage age. That it has not
more generally disappeared before ad-
vancing culture is explained by it's
composition. Of all animal tissues it is
the most durable, found very perfect
and nearly four thousand years old in
Egyptian tombs, a proper adornment
of the mummies. If mans whiskers,
particularly his mustache, longest re-
sist the progress of civilization, it is
accounted for by the thousands of gen
erations Of women having preferred
the bearded man to the downy dude.
Here, also, it is significant for the bald
dowed with abundant hair on the upper
| lip. If, like his less-gifted brother with
| the shaggy name, he still attaches
some Importance to few follicles of
hair, it is because hair is not yet en-
tirely functionless in his present state
of evolution, as Exner freely admits.
Woman, being on the whole less hairy
| than man, is of course more civilized
than he is. She would be anyway, even
| if she were covered with hair, but as
she isn't covered with hair she is more
civilized than man. But she does wor-
ship dear, delightful, precious Pader-
| ewslli.

The Aetna Life Case.
(From the Hartford Courant.)


Insurance Commissioner Belts suit
against the Aetna Life Insurance COM
pany should not disturb any of the
thousands whose lives are insured in
that company. He reports it as hav-
ing S43, $50, 03S of assets and surplus, be-
yond it's capital, of s4,762,6S5. There is
nothing in those admitted figures to
brighten or to worry the insured.
The commissioners contention con-
Germs the stockholders and the profits
that have been divided among them.
The original $105000, paid in as q
guaranty fund, has, without the pay
ing in of any more outside capital, be-
come $1,750,000 of stock that pays
S175,OOO a year in dividends. The COM
pany admits the fact, but contends
that this growth has been legal and
proper. Mr.. Belts holds that the most
of these accommodations have been i'm
properly taken from the mutual de-
partment He demands that the prac-
tice cease and that the past transfers
be accounted for, and put where they
belong.
He holds that the stockholders agreed
to put up a guarantee fund of s150,000,
to limit their dividends to 6 per cent.
(s9, 00O), and to give the policyholders
the benefit of any further gains. This
condition being part of the contract
of insurance, could not, he claims, be
waived or altered by any legislative
action. He also holds that the legis-
lature, which authorized the capital
izing of profits, specified that these
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1896-05-23

should be profits of the stock depart
ment, while, in his opinion, those taken
were really profits of tn mutual de-
partment.
1t viii be seen at once that no policy
holder is going to be hurt by lawsuit
whose object is to find whether he
isn't entitled to more than he already
has in q company of obvious strength
and large surplus,
The Question of the wisdom OF
mixed" companies and of the proprlety
of these dividends has been raised be-
fore. The insurance commissioner of
Massachusetts, Major Merrill, a few
years ago attacked the Aetna Life
most vigorously for it's policy in this
respect,
Governor Hubbard, in 1878, in vetoing
the act that permitted the first increase
of the Aetna's capital, was outspoken
in his condemnation.
Mr.. Belts action brings the whole
question into court. where, and where
only, it can be finally and positively
determined whether the course which
has been pursued is legal.

continue to multiply. Seven jeweled
ones ornament the front of the vest
shown here, two smaller buttons have
place on each cuff, and each has it's
buttonhole effect from a loop of silk
cord. The vest itself is of white broca-
ded silk made with a bag like the
blouse fronts and fastening at the side
beneath frillingof white chiffon. 1t
has Sits at the side through which the
belt that holds the Jacket fronts togeth-
er is passed, and is topped by a collar
and big bows of the same stuff. The
dress of which this is a part is of navy
blue serge, is entirely plain in the skirt
and has cuff garniture that corresponds
closely with the general scheme of the
vest
Here are some things that must be
remembered by one that pretends to
careful dressing; stiff linen, white or
colored, must be absolutely fresh, free
from the faintest tinge of wear at the
back of the neck or at the turn over in
front and no trace of mussing in wrin-
kle or bend. A stiff shirt front must be
stiff, and faultless in set and freshness.
A tailor-made gown must be perfect or
vulgar. Every slight fault shows in a
tailor rig. Soiled lace, mussed ribbon
and furnished gold are each and every
one vulgar detriment to a costume and
in no way ornamental No matter If o
sailor hat is becoming, don't do it if
you are over thirty. Lots of other hats
will be equally becoming, not a bit old
er, yet more suitable. FLORETTE.

4 SURE THING.

There Is wild talk about boiling and
secession Il the st. Louis convention
doesn't bow down to the silver States,
but there is no probability that this
wild talk will have any weakening eff
feet on the action Of the convention.
The situation seems to be secure
enough. Thirty-three states and ter
ritories, representing total of 74O
delegates, have pronounced unouali-
fiedly for the gold standard and
against the free and unllmit-
ed coinage Of silver at any ratio. Nine
states and territories, representing a
total of eighty-four votes in the con-
vention, have adopted a free silver
platform Eight, including Alabama,
Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, West Vlr-
ginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma and the
Indian territory, constituting a total Of
ninety-t two votes, are doubtful. Adding
ninety-two to the eighty-four, the con-
vention will stand for the gold stand
ard and against the free coinage of sill
Yer at any ratio, 740 to 176.
Seven hundred and forty to one hun
dred and seventy-six is enough. It is
even more than any of the Mckinley
mathematicians claim for their candi-
date Few things are more certain
than that the Republican national con-
vention will be abundantly and inspir-
ingly right on the money question.
