changes in position, in spite of this
strong showing. Herbert Thompson, OF
Carbondale, came nearest to passing
the one above him. He is now but one
place.
A contestant writes for an answer to
the following question: "If at the end
of the contest should fail to be above
thirteenth place, could l have 10 per
cent. of the money / sent in or would
I have to take one of the business
courses?" Answer--The rules of the
contest plainly cover this. They say:
THE contestant with the highest num-
ber of points will be given choice
from the list of special rewards; the
contestant with the second highest
number of points will be given a choice
of the remaining rewards, and so on
through the list. Each contestant fail
ing to secure a special reward will be
given 10 per cent. of all money he or
in thirteenth place he will have the
thirteenth choice of the scholarships
offered, but there is no guarantee that
any of the business courses will be left
by that time, as some of those higher
up may choose from them. He will not
get 10 per cent. of the money he sent
in unless he finishes below thirty-third
place.

prizes William Rodriguez is now first

Annual Meeting of Stockholders Held
 Yesterday.

The stockholders of the New Haven Water company held their annual meeting at the offices of the company yesterday. About forty were present. | president, Eli Whitney, in which he | stated that during the past year tun-
 mel had been completed to Foxon whereby the water supply for Lake Saltonstall had been greatly increased. He also stated that steps had been taken which would soon result in the erection of filtration plant at the head of Lake Whitney thereby purify ing all water which comes into the city mains from that source. A committee appointed now has the matter under consideration and that they were in- specting the various systems of filtra- tion so that the best might be secured for Lake Whitney. It is thought that the work of erecting a building for this purpose will be commenced within the year.

 The next train that left for Water bury was the 7:05 and that was crowd ed, This was followed by the 9:35 and this was even more crowded than the 7:05 It is probable that during the rest of the week hundreds of New Haveners will take advantage of seeing the ruins of the most disastrous fire in Connec- ticut's history

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.

] We publish this morning the state ment of the Connecticut Mutual Life
 Insurance company of Hartford and the
 annual report of Colonel Greene, its 1 president, to the policy holders The
 company has nearly 10000 policies out standing it's assets exceed $65, 277 GOO, and it's surplus by it's self-imposed stan dard is over $7,000,0 900. It would be over 1 $9, 900 if calculated by the standard
 fixed by law
 The financial strength of this great concern is so evident and so abundant that it's name has come to be recognized as another term for solidity and safety. Criticisms of the Connecticut Mutual never question it's ability to pay it's poll yholders or the soundness of it's insurance, but concern the policy of it's
 management. which refuses to keep pace with it's critics in running after
 new business at any price, but per
 sists in providing life insurance for
 those who want to insure their lives at the lowest possible cost, Colonel Greene
 well says that that is the one thing
 that life insurance can do and that all
 other financial schemes are better ad- vanced by their own special agencies.
 Life insurance is life insurance. not
 banking, nor bond selling but insuring lives. His admirable report presents his conscientious view of the life insur- ance business in way that cannot but impress the reader, and it should be read not only by the policyholders but by all who have any interest in what
 is going on. He puts the case so that there is no getting around it, and car ries conviction with him.
 The company under his conservative management moves steadily forward with increasing insurance and growing assets. It gets the best risks, the lives of conservative men, it's mortality is very low, and it's insured are "stayers." Tn the fifty-sixth year of It's exist tence the Connecticut Mutual has taken in from it's insured s216, ,751 12S and has paid them or their benefciaries SPA. 379, S2O, and instead of having the $2,- GOO on hand, which is the difference between these receipts andeXpenditures it has over sixty-five and quarter million dollars in it's possession. This is the marvel of arithmetic and the mir acle of interest, and is the reason why insurance accOmplsnes what individual saving cannot do.
