THE REoRGANizED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers &c
the company. the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley. a college. bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
OF life insurance. he ;began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president OF the com
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter OF a century.-indeed has
never had any other business conuec-
ton.
Associated with these menf are
others long trained in the compauy's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work VIM. E. Ingersou,
who has for many years had charge
OF the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's Office in Paris
Rufus w. Weeks. who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give uE
their contracts at heavy sacrifice
This has not been true in the New, York
Life to any great extent The com
pany had $4,000. 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company TO write over
S15O,0OO,000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company'S outstanding bust
ness still exceeds s2.0OO,0 900 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception.
able character.

MONUMENTS ERECTED TO NOT.

Statue to Gen. IaWton, Who Fell in
the Philippines, Unveiled at
Indianapolis by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

indianapolis, Ind.-That patriotism
in this country is not at low ebb is
indicated by the number of memorials
to heroes and statesmen recently
erected. There is a close connection
between patriotism and art One is
especially reminded of this in the
study of ancient countries, and it is
becoming more and more true of
America. The fact has been empha-
sized within short time by the I'M
yelling of a statue of Commodore John
Barry in Philadelphia and the com
pletion by Karl Bitter of a statue of
Gen. Franz Sigel for a site on River
side Drive. Further emphasis was
added with the unwilling on May 80
at Indianapolis of a statue of Gen.
Henry ". Lawton, at which the presi-
dent made an important address.
Gen. LawtOn was a soldier of the
civil war, saw service in the Spanish
American war, and was killed while
lighting in the Philippines. The re-
public has many memorials of soldiers
OF the revolution and the civil war.
but as yet few erected in honor of
heroes OF battle for the flag in the
PARKWAY islands of the east Special
interest attaches to the memorial I'M
Velled at indianapolis for this reason.
Gen. Lawton, who was born at Man
haitian, o., in 1S43, began his military
career as an enlisted man in a volun-
teer regiment in 1861 and held the
rank of major general of volunteers
when his life was ended by Filipino
bullet on December 10, 1899. His COM
mission as a brigadier general in the
regular service was being prepared
when he was shot. When war with
Spain broke out he was in demand
in the field, for he had enjoyed not
only civil war experience, but a
career as an Indian fighter on the
plains of the west. One of the famous
episodes of his career was his DUR
suit and capture of Geronimo. He
was in command Of the second divi-
sion Of the fifth army corps before
Santiago, and on the conclusion of
peace was transferred to the Philip
pines
He captured Santa Cruz, a Filipino
stronghold, april 10, 1899, and San
lsidro on MAY Is, and on June l was
placed in command at Manila. He had
begun an offensive campaign looking
toward the CAPTURE of Aguinaldo when
he was killed while directing an at
tack upon the insurgents in an en-
gagement near San Mateo, about Is
miles from Manila. monument was

DON'TS FOR THE HAIR.
Proper Care of Tresses That Will Be
Well Repaid.

Don't forget to have the hair thor
oughly cut and singed every three
months. 1t is not sufficient to have
the long hair clipped. But special at
tention should be paid to the weak
new hairs that spring up along the
central partings.
Don't forget to brush the hair for
ten minutes every night with whale
bone bristle brush. This may make
the head little slender at first, but
the tenderness soon wears Off
Don't wear pads or additional tails
of hair and curls, unless absolutely
necessary. Anything that prevents
light and air getting to the roots of
the hair is extremely bad.
Don't attempt to restore gray or
faded hair yourself 1t is best to
leave it entirely alone If dyeing is
desirable, have it done by skilled
hands
Don't have the combings of five
or six years ago made up. as hair

the despoiler has never dared to raise
against it.
The humble structure was the abode
of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. soldier,
statesman and president of the United
States. and, it is believed, was the
birthplace of Gen. Frederick Grant, the
revered soldiers son
The fact that the cottage was once
owned by Gen. Grant was brought to
light by recent article in st. Louis
paper, stating that a patriotic wave of
reverence for the name of Grant had
started in st. Louis and was being
fostered by the Grant Cabin associa-

log cabin on the fair grounds to it's
