PRovTDENT LIES CONDITION.
New Management Working for Policyholders
Old Board Criticised.

Albany, Oct. 26.-Neson B. Hadley, an examiner
In the State Insurance Department who recently
made an examination into the condition of the
Provdent Savings Life Assurance Society Of New
York criticises the extravagant management OF
the so-caIled Philadelphia syndicate, which until
recently had control of this company. Mr.. Had
leys report dated October 6, was made public to-
night by Superintendent Kelsey.
Referring to the old management, the report says
in part:
Their own testimony shows that their only OBJECT
was private gain regardless OF the interests OF the
policyholders. The voting and paying Of salary
at the rate of $4,000 year TO the president IS
another case where there cannot be too severe cri
cfsrn of the motives which actuated this manage
rnent and is but the natural sequence where IN
scrlpulous persons secured the management OF me
funds Of life insurance company.
The present management Of the company have.
so far as able to judge from their actions
since obtaining control. been working for the best
interest Of the policvhoders The interests Of the
society are safeguarded by the men who have &C
cepted the tasks directors and I have no doubt
that they will devote their best efforts to placing
the company in position where il again invite
the public to purchase its contracts
The report shows that the impairment IN the
company's capital had been reduced from S414 Sol 20
about $4,000 and the surplus increased from 1854 3s
70 about $4,000

Mr.. de Varona said yesterday:
when all this has been completed the city De-
low zsd street will be practically immune from
danger from large fires. The service in the hrst
district cost below the estimate, little less thah
100000. The second district, as shown by the
specifications will cost $1S00,0o. and the Board
OF Estimate has approved of this. The system IN
the district above this will cost 100000 ana IN

a success in every way, assuring the CITY OF inc

2I4 signal boxes The pipes. hydrants and valves

to be south OF East Houston street TO Ohver'

Of the inf1ammabe nature Of the tenements and
the greater all around fire risks The plans were
approved at a meeting and now that the money
has become available will be carried out When
the whole work is completed for the four districts
the estimated cost will be about S,GO0GV.
The tests made far have made possible a
computation of the full advantages of the high

connections could be made, and streams be brought
to bear upon fire in minutes, namely, In less

Panama Mosquitoes.

A visitor to the canal zone OF Pan
anna can have the privilege Of an in
PRODUCTION to not less than eighty-three
species of mosquitoes. thirty OF them
found nowhere else. Fortunately they
do not all bite. and the contagion Of
yellow fever is carried by only one OF
them. Certain genera. technically called
megarhinus. psorophora and lutzia. are
found, which instead OF spreading any
disease hostile 10 men wage war on
their weaker cousins and at times even
on their brothers and sisters. The vel
low fever mosquito, the only kind In
America spreading this infection, sci
entiically called stegomyia, Is very
scarce. 1t is possible TO live for weeks
on the line of the canal without seeing
a single specimen. This mosquito is a
strictly domestic insect, never found
away from man. 1t breeds only in
artificial receptacles, such as barrels
water coolers. bottles and tin cans in
