SYSTEMATIC ADVANCES REGU-
LARLY SHOWN.

Advancing In South Afrioa seems to be
attended with extreme difficulties to the
British army just at the present time,
oonseq uently 1t IL q rsfrsshing relief to
turn to such an emphatic story Of "for-
ward marchi" as Is presented By the an
nual report OF the Union Mutual Life In
suranoa Company printed elsewhere.
While the report primarily covers last
years operations. schedules are submitted
exhibiting steady and regular gains
through q series Of years. More than
passing praise 10 due to the management
OF the Company for these noteworthy re-
suits, for they demonstrats enefgstic
oversight Of the affairs Of the institution
and skilkui directing power In formulate
ing Its bushes plans.
That this may be the more clearly un-
dsrstood, q few deductions readily made
from the figures rs tabulated win bs In
stanosd: Since 1893 over a million and
half dollars 0. increase IL exhibited In the
asssts, the gross inorme Of the Company
10 now nearly six hundred thousand dol
lars larger than ii was then, and the
amounts Of insurance In force shows q
gain durip,- last year alone OF nearly
four million dollars.
The amount Of new insurance issued
In Maine has developed wonderfully.
Ten years ago about 100000 insurance.
was Issued In year, while at the present
time the aggregate for twelve months
reaches two millions. There could b no
more conclusive evidence of popularity At
home.
1t 4, not what man says but what he
does that counts. and thess figures are
all those Of actual accomplishments, not
promises. IL is pleasant to learn that the
outlook for thu Union Mutual Is OF the
nc ost promising character. That 1t Will
CLOSE the century with flourish there
gems every reason to anticipate.

English of the Park commission yesterday submitted to Mayor Driscoll his report showing the Improvements that have been made in the public parks of the city for the past year, With the exception of Clin- ton park, noticeable Improvements have been made and in the near future the commission will begin improvements of this park,
 The report shows that substantial progress has been made in the definite policy of gradual development since the inception of the commission in 1889. 1.-The early requirement of such territory as shall be needed is an imperative neces- sity," says the report, and then it con- tinues as follows: With sufficient funds at command which might be provided by 8 moderate issue of park bonds, this acquisition of land would be speed fly consummated.
