VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.


 Mir Poli. who was in town for q short time today. expressed himself much gratifed with the appreciation already shown for the new vaudeville policy he has inauguarted at the Jacques. Indeed. it would have been strange. however had not such ap- p~eciation been shown. for the show offered during this opening week is one of exceptional excellence. There is not sn act that may not be considered hirh class. while there are at, least three that are top headliners. The cute little Dewitt chap alon is whole show in himself. and Smith and Camp bal1 can provide sixty laughs for every minute that they hold the stage The wonderful Mckinley funeral pictures too. are a great feature. and they give such perfect idea of the great funer- al Da a~eant that next to actually seeing it- this exhibition is most interesting Mir POli's idea of making the best seats in the house at the matinees only 10 cents for the ladies has already caught on in public favor and every afternoon they are out in force. Some slight con- fusion has arisen over the fact of seats not heinz reserved but this is gradually wearing off and people like the idea of being able to sit where their fancy dictates. The performance is given eveFy evening at S:15 and every after noon at 2:15- Evening prices. 10. 20 30 cents: matinees, 10 and 20 cents, and for ladies 10 cents to all parts of the house. Drop in and see the finest vaudeville entertainment ever given in Waterbury.

EGYPTIANS AS FINANCIERS.
FIRST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

In 1716. B. c., THE first life insurance
company began business. There was
just one form of policy, wh.ch was a
seven-year endowment, payable in
seven equal annual instalmcnts. Every
body in the land was compelled 10 in
sure, and compelled also to insure for
an amount commensurate with mis- in
come. The home office of this life in
sllrance company was in Egypt, and
none but Egyptians were insured. Many
Of Them objected, saying that they
needed all they could earn TO live on;
others said 'the Lord will provide, but
the manager OF this insurance COM
pany had the King of Egypt at his
back. and he compelled everyone 10 de-
posit with the company One-fifth OF
all that he earned during the years OF
plenty, so that provision might be
made for the unproductive years that
were sure to come. The plan worked
well, and when the policies began to
be paid all were greatly pleased, and
were truly grateful to the manager of
the insurance company, and also TO the
King for compelling them 10 insure
These policies were what might be
termed pure endowments' they paid
nothing except just what had been
paid in in case Of death, and there was
no interest earned for dividends A
.seven-year endowment paid ony seven
instalments during the succeeding
seven years. and the instalment paid
in any year was never more than the
insured had paid the company seven
years previously.

They are much more desirable than the
plan which proved so valuable to the
Egyptians. For example:

81 900. and he invests with The Mutual
Life s40O per year for 20 years. At
age Of 55 his policy natures and he be-
gins 10 draw not merely the S400 per
year that he has paid in, but $500 per
year, the interest earned amounting TO
three-fOurths Of the principal. This
income would continue until age 75.
and would be payable 10 the estate in
case of prior death. In fact, If death
should occur during the first year of
the policy, when only S400 had been
paid to the company. The Mutual Life
guarantees the beneficiary named in
the policy or the insTed's estate. $500
per year fer 20 years, thus giving $14,-
