Keith.s Theatre. BOSTON.

Special preparations have been made at
Keith's to make Old Home week a
memorable occasion. A programme has
been arranged that will uphold its reputa-
tion.
1t is particularly fitting that the Fa-
dettes are to head the bill, for this, the
best female orchestra ever organized, is
distinctively Boston institution. There
will be forty players under the baton OF
Caroline b. Nichols. The programmes
will be made OF popular selections, as in
former years.
The best comedy sketch seen in vaude-
Vile during the past year will be one OF
the features. Its title is peaches, and il
is the work OF George V. Hobart. William
Courtleigh plays the role of "John
Henry, a sporty young man who has re-
formed.
There has never been a more attractive
stage spectacle than Grigoiati's aerial bal
let, which will hold a place on the festi-
val bill. "A Night with the poets,m
George Homans' artistic presentation, re-
mains for a second week, but with
change of poems and pictures. The poets
from whose works selections will be made
are Longfellow, Whittier and Holmes.
Clifford and Burke, black face come
dams and dancers; Work and Over, who
do novel acrobatic comedy turn; Leo
Carriilo, mimic and monologist; the Greg
sons, in singing and dancing sketch;
James and Prior, trayestyists, and the
kinetograph, which will show some spec
ial views of Boston, will complete the gala
programme.

cup to-, the Board Of Trade. .


The big dam is half completed; it
will be finished almost before we
know it. Electric power win be for
sale; it will be sold for use out of
town unless users are found who can
be persuaded to locate here.
The Ellsworth board of trade was in
existence before the building of the
dam was begun. IL doesn't seem to
be moving as fast as the dam, yet it
has an advertising fund of nearly
1880 which ought to be used for
Ellsworth's benefit. That's one way
to help Ellsworth.
Another way is to talk Ellsworth!
Talk it at home; talk it away from
home; talk it in your letters. Here's
letter which one public spirited
citizen of Ellsworth addresses to all
Ellsworth "boys" away from home,
and it furnishes the keynote which
ought to be sounded by every Els
worth man in his private and business
correspondence:
We know that you are still interested in the
place you once called home, and feel
assured that its interests are yet matter Of
concern with you. A new industrial develop
ment is possible for Ellsworth, and we want
your cooperation.
The construction of a large dam across the
Union river-an event long desired-is doubt
less known to you. Large electrical power is
to be generated there, and it is cup to us'' to
make use Of it. Give us Of your help.
We want manufacturing plants, big and lit
tie; we want men and money; we want any
thing that viii make our city strong and
prosperous.
Perhaps you know of men wanting bust
ness opening. Perhaps you know of invest
ors looking for opportunities to place capital.
Perhaps you know of bright young men, who,
with little encouragement, would do great

WEDNESDAY. JULY "a. 1907.
Life Insurance Paid Promptly.

Life Insurance Paid Promptly.
Some years ago prominent
monthly magazine published an ar
ticle under the ominous title of Law
suit or Legacy?r The article pur-
ported to be careful analysis of what
life insurance companies did with
death claims, and arrived at the as
tonishing conclusion that men with
life insurance policies slowed away in
their safes had reason for wondering
whether these policies were to prove
to their families lawsuit or legacy.
This article created considerable
concern at the time, until the falsity
of its conclusion was shown. Every
life insurance company in the country
was asked to state the proportion of
its policies which for any reason We're
contested; the replies showed that
the proportion was small fraction of
one per cent. One company, the
Provident Life & Trust Co., Of Phila-
delphia, reported that up to the time
OF making the report it had never
contested policy.
All this is brought to mind by a
statement recently issued by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society that
during the year 1906, out of 2,s7s
claims paid, all but eighty-seven, or
about three per cent, were not only
not contested, but were paid within
one day. after proofs of death were
received by the society. The remain
ing three per cent. were paid later.
not one being contested.
Similar promptness in the pay
ment of claims characterizes all the
life companies no " doing business in
the United States, and, generally,
this is true of all lite companies since
the wiping out of the wildcat bust
ness of quarter of century and
more ago.
Life insurance rests upon public con.
fidence, and without it could not ex-
list. Not even the startling revelations
VI q low tOoAo 0So VI JIG ACSAfOSS use
of life insurance funds by some of the
great companies we're sufficient to
break public confidence in the princi-
pie of life insurance. 1t has been
abundantly demonstrated that the
healthy development of the business
at large requires that confidence shall
be intelligent and discriminating, and
not blind.
Even legislative safeguards about the
business are not sufficient unless sup
plemented by the same kind of dis
eliminating selection which an in
telligent man uses in any other pur-
chase or investment.
Happily all life companies now en-
gagged in the business in this country
are safe; some offering advantages
that others do not, but all offering in
surance at substantially the same cost
for similar policies.
No prudent man to-day neglects to
insure his life.
