DEAR SIR: Several years ago l COM
menced investigating life insurance, and
being convinced of its merits as a protec-
ton for business men, should they sudden
ly be cut off in life, at once decided that
I would insure my life for at least S25 900.
I investigated quite 4 number OF COM
panies, and had them submit their plans
and figures to me, and after mature con-
sderation, became satisfied that the
MUTUAL BENEFIT Of NEWARK, offered
the most liberal contract and paid the
largest dividends of any company doing
business, and l insured my life in that
company for as much as they would carry
on any individual life, viz, $4,000. I
have had the policy four or five years, and
have no reason to regret my choice; but,
on the contrary. have every reason to be
pleased, as the dividends have come up to
my expectations, and the company is so
wisely, economically and conservatively
managed that have every reason to be
satisfied that my interests will be we'll
protected. Wishing you and your conf
pany future success, am,
Yours truly, o. H. FOSTER.

LIVELY BLAZE.
Woman With Infant Day Old Has Mar
row Escape from Flames.

A house owned by the Henry Broth
ers in the rear of 10 Cross street, and
occupied by Syrians, was the scene of
a lively fire for a short time yester-
day morning just before noon.
Members of the family who live on
the ground floor were thawing out wa
ter pipes which had been frozen by
lighting paper, and the partition which
is close to the pipes, took fire. The
wood being old and dry, II did not
take much time for the flames to
spread. An alarm was rung in from
box As, and when the department ar
rived the flames were shooting through
the roof.
There was a cry that a woman and
her baby who had been born that day
were In an upper apartment in the
house and one of the firemen ran up
stairs to find her. She was found half
way down the stairway, where the
smoke was somewhat dense and by
the aid Of the flremen she reached the
outside and was taken to a neighbour
ing house.
1t did not take any length Of time
for the department, after several
streams had been turned on, to quench
the flames. The greater part of the
damage was confined to the roof and
walls, where it started, and it is es-
timated that the loss will be about
800
