erty in this city, which was at once valued at
S260,O00 Ultimately the Waco property came
back and its book value was then placed at
s204, 000
Another real estate holding acquired for
S692,00O and promptly marked up to $4,000
The attorney for the insurance company Will
lam T. Gilbert, explained 100000 as due 10 actual
enhancement Mr.. Hughes pointed out that this
left 100000 appreciation in book value to ex-
plain. Finally Mr.. Gilbert admitted that the
object of this Juggling was to make a good
showing similar handling of advances to
agents for the same purpose was noted.
President E w. Scott of this company ad-
mitted that he had received the first year COM
missions his $4,000 insurance in his own
company. Miles NJ. Dawson. actuary of the
committee, then took the stand and testified
that statistics had been compiled by him from
the reports OF the company since 1897. From
these figures it seemed that. if the real estate
had not been marked up shown there would
have been actual loss in the transactions. A
marking up of 100000 in 1904, it appeared,
barely permitted the company to show slight
excess of receipts.
Senator Armstrong said last night that there
no immediate plan for transferring the COM
mittee's sessions to Albany when it takes up the
State Insurance Department next week. 1t will
probably continue to sit i'll this city. There will
be four sessions next week. beginning on
Wednesday. The committee will finish with the
life association this morning and then go on
to the GerTEania- Washington Life Insurance
Company, Bankers Life Insurance Company
and United States Life Insurance Company.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-18

This Hartford house, by the way, was built with the kitchen in front in order, as the owner said, that the serv- ants might see the callers without talk ing time to run into the halls and peep through doors.
 Much of the humoriSt's work is done at his summer home at Saranac Lake, where he goes to escape from his ad- mirers.
 When during contagion one of the Twain houses was disinfected Mark said that the fumigator was so strong that it took all the brass off the door, knobs and all the tune out of the pi- ano."
 Mark Twain's latest book, in which he skins King Leopold of Belgium, is probably the boldest attack ever made on d crowned head, and it is as right eous as it is brave
 The crowning act of the career of this most famous of American writers was in paying off the debts of the pub fishing firm of Charles l.. Webster & Co.,, though not legally bound to do so. It took him years of hard work in his old age, but finally every cent was met. The world had laughed with Mark Twain before. It learned to love him then. I. A. EDGERTON.

Monkeys In Society.

So much attention is being lavished on a monkey which is the new pet of one of Boston's social lights that 1t looks as though many of these little animals may enjoy d happy existence under so- cietys beneficent roof before the win ter is over. says the New York Press. The woman in question does not keep her pet indoors. but takes him out driving with her giving the seat to him in her equipage which formerly be- longed to her lapdog. On these occa- sions he has worn an elaborate seal skin coat and Il jewel studded collar
 Of late. however. some of her family plate and odd trinkets have disap- peared. and it is suspected that this latest addition to the woman's happy family is the guilty party. However. the mistress is loyal to him and pre- fers to believe that her things were stolen by q common thief

ing. The terrible winter is already upF' on us God knows what will beconis of us unless aid arrives soon"
 John Baum, merchant at 527 South street, recently received a letter of this sort from his brother Solomon, wll0 lives in Odessa, and pleads for money enough to take him and his family from the country where they see noths| ing but doom for their race.
 The letter was written on Nov. 5. A part of it, which has been translated by Jacob Ginsburg of the Jewisi Evening Post, reads:
 Our people nre being unmercifullY slaughtered in the streets without ahys interference from the authorities.
 Tt is more than two weeks since we took refuge here in the cellar. We, are under the dreadful terror of being discovered and killed We are prac- tically shut up without any food or water, and fear we will starve unless something is done for us.
 We cannot sleep, for the bowling and curses of the unruly mobs ring constantly in our ears. They call Kill the Jewsr The streets are strewn with mutilated bodies. Many of them are minus heads, limbs and arms. The gutters of the streets have been turn4' ed into small rivulets of blood. We fear any minute we will be extermi. mated.
 Please rescue us. Take us to Amer ica or send us enough money to get over the frontier. We don't ask you to help us for a livelihood, only to pro- ,tect our lives. sX
 ''The Russian newspapers don't men. tion one-half of what takes place. We pray, O God! o God! that you will be able to rescue us so we can flee from terrible Russia and the awful death that faces LIS,
 While I am writing this I can hear the awful curses of the bowling mob as it passes along the street killing Jews. The mob is made up mostly of soldiers"
