THE REoReANizEo NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

The new Board of Trustees Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the polfcyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge Of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers Of
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 a 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 q
quarter Of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec.
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment Of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
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 companyfs Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been n
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 great deal Of misunder.
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The com.
pany had $4,000. 000. 600 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
$3.50 100000 year (Which Is about
one.half the New York Life formerly
did,. the company's outstanding bust.
ness still exceeds 100000, 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.

MoNRoE's BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Many Improvements at This We'll
 Known Seat of Learning.

Monroe's Business college will open its fifteenth year. Tuesday, September 3, in the new Buckingham building, with all the latest and best facilities. Monroe's school is thorough school and the most successful in this sec tion. Monroe graduates are with the United States government, the city of Waterbury. the Waterbury postoffice, the American Brass Co, the United Gas Improvement Co, Scovill Mfg Co, in fact, from one to five graduates are in nearly every office throughout the Naugatuck valley.
 The secret of the successof this school lies in the fact that Principal Monroe and each teacher has had years of actual, practical office ex- perience, business men know this, and naturally apply to Monroe's for competent office help Miss Fannie Vaden for four years stenographer in the office of the Waterbury Brass Co has been added to the faculty and certainly the school is better this fall than any time during its history,
 For years Monroe's has the reputa- tion of educating pupils sooner, get ting them to work quicker and all at less expense than any other school in the city. Readers of the Democrat are cordially invited to inspect this old school in its new home.

THE LEMON

is the fruit of a tropica. tree of tne orange family, usually elhpsotdai bright yellow, with thick skin. and lately we have taken notice that peo- pie who take dislike to anyone will purcnase a lemon and see that its presented right away quick 10 the one whom they dislike. We havc never heard why they perpetrate such a trick, but we surmise they wish to Infer that the receiver IS thick skinned or else is possessed or quite a f2w yellow streaks. We heard during the past week that a certain saloon keeper who is a hlga up and up politician was presented with a very yellow large lemon, and he immediately made haste to his "wine roora," made what's known as "whiskey sour" got ca the outside of it in real political stvie, smackeu his lips and then told the bartender how he had been presented With the nice large lemon, when the latter eS- plained. It's needless to say his happiness was turned to indignation and vengeance was his as he flew out the door, and when he meets the messenger it will go hard with ftm
 if he doesn't tell who sent that ycl- low token.

The Prevention of Fire.

Francis J. Lantry, Fire Commissioner
 of the City of New York in Harper's
 Weekly.
 When you see any one running to the fire-box on the corner. turning the handle and pulling down the hook you never can tell what serious con sequences are to follow. You know in a general way that a fire alarm has been sent to headquarters, that al- most at that instant the men in the responding apparatus companies are sliding down the poles and manning the apparatus, and that the powerful horses, with all their vim and dash, are hauling the bravest of men to the scene of the fire. You know that hu- man lives and valuable property are being imperilled. you know that an unfinching fight Is to be made against the fire, whether 1t be little or big and you knew that the men are, there to go to the limit in their days work. But what the result may be 1t Is, of course, impossible to determine. It may be a burning lamp, and nothing more. It may be only a minutes work, or hours and hours of hercest combat against the flames.
 Naturally. the mind turns towards the cause of all this peril and work. Usually this cause is an extremely small one; and 1t is on this point that l should like to fasten public atten- ton in order that every one may be aroused to the fact that 1t is possible, by caution and common sense, greatly to minimize the dangers of fire
 The slightest cause may start the greatest fire. Historically we know of the somewhat famous day on which Nero played his violin solo while the flames swept Rome to its foundations; but whether it was caused by the lamp or the torch of those days, We do not know. The fire marshars office had not yet been established. The kicking over of a lantern while Mrs. O'Leary's COW was being milked Is the tradi- tionaI explanation of that conflagra- tion which destroyed the city of Chi cago. A slight explosion in a Balti- more cellar. responded to first, be- lieve. on a still alarm, resulted In the martial annihilation of the city.
 These instances may not be susceh-. tible If direct proof. but so many things have occurred in New York showing that the slightest causes have resulted in the greatest fires, that there is not the slightest doubt that cru sade against carelessness and for eau ton would result in enormous benefit to the community. So slight. in their incipiency, have been the causes of many calamitous fires that one Is ap- nailed at the carelessness displayed. There ia proof to show that in number ieas instances mice and matches have started the blaze, driving people from their homes in the dead of night, and in many cases resulting in the death of occupants of the buildings or of some If the brave fremen themselves. In some cases where floors were torn up after fires. tn the process of invesE- ration, matches have been found in a

DOWN WITH TYPHOID
EIGHT NURSES AND A WOMAN CLERK STRICKEN IN HOSPITAL.
Their Origin a Puzxle--Superintend Suspects Some One I'm Kitchen Handling the Food is
 Carrying Germs.

New York. Sept. 13.-Eight nurses and one woman clerk are victims of an epidemic of typhoid fever which has broken out in Gouverneur Hospital, where there are some 120 patients Seven of the cases are progressing satisfactorily. but the recovery of one of the victims Is doubtful, and another is in a serious condition.
 The utmost secrecy has been main tained to prevent the news from being made public. and even yesterday after the officials of Gouvernsur Hospital were informed that the facts were known. they refused absolutely to give any information.
 Dr. s. T. Armstrong. Superintendent of Bellevue and allied hospitals, was seen at his home. He appeared much surprised when the purport of the call was made known to him.
 However did you get to know of it?' he asktd. Did Commissioner Hebberd tell you? telephoned him and told him there was no use getting hysterical about 1t and to keep 1t to ourselves"
 Then Dr. Armstrong admitted the truth of the report, and said that six of the afflicted nurses were being cared for at the New York City Train ing School, on BlackwelTs Island. while
 
 ment at Governeur Hospital
 T have no idea how the disease was contracted" he said. q am perfect ly sure 1t hasn't anything to do with the sanitary conditions at the hospital. as I have twice inspected them myself since. and so has the Board of Health. The Superintendent said further that the nine persons afflicted all ate at the same table. and there was a possibility that the disease could be traced to the food. He felt almost certain, he said. that neither the water nor the milk used was the cause. as the water is filtered before being used and the milk came from inspected farms. the price paid for it being higher than that paid by any other New York hospital.
 In his opinion, pr. Armstrong said it would probably be found that some person In the kitchen was living cul- ture medium of typhoid germs while being in himself or herself a perfectly healthy individual. With this view in mind. Dr. Armstrong has requested Dr. Norris, director of the laboratory, to make a careful examination of each of the 116 persons working fin the hospi- tai.
 On the other hand, Dr. Armstrong thinks 1t may be due to something tho nine women ate. as he said typhoid fe- yer can only be contracted by eating and drinking.
 The names of the nine patients could not be obtained, as all information was refused at Gouverneur Hospital and the training school.
 It was ten days ago that the fever first manifested itself two of party who had eaten at the same table com plaining of illness. They were put to bed, and later the fever developed From that time until last Tuesday the remaining seven women who formed the party fell i'll, and developed ty phoid. Since that day no other cases have been reported.
 The places of the stricken nurses have been filled by drawing on the Training School at Blackwelrs Island.
