Judge Edward J. Finn in the court of common pleas today is hearing the evidence in the $5,000 civil ac- tion of State Senator George T. Culhane against the Aetna Life 1n- surance company. Senator Culhane is seeking to collect payments for disbality which he claims are due him under the terms of a policy ls- sued to him by the insurance com pany. The insurance company de- nies that the circumstances warrant payments under the policy.
 Senator Culhane, in his complaint, claims that the Aetna Life 1nsur- ance company issued a disability nolicy to him on October 20, 1851. From December 19, 1885, and for period of weeks continuing, he claims that he was totally ncapaci- tated and disabled. during which time he was hospitalized. Partial disability is claimed for a further period of weeks.
 The policy calls for payment or $75 weekly during total disability and $S5 weekly during partial dis ability. Senator Culhane has a further claim of $1,000 for hospital and medical expenses.
 The insurance company denies that an acicdent was the sole cause of Senator Culhane's disability. At torney William K. Lawlor appears for Senator Culhane, with Carmody and Thoms representing the Aetna Life Insurance company. On the

 Active Participation
 We are all familiar with it's open- air services. Year in and year out, rain or shine, we find group Of Salvationists on street corner, bringing to the passerby. their story of redemption. To my mind, the dis tinguishing feature in the religious life of the Salvation army is its insistence upon active participation, rather than passive adherence on the part of its members. There is no such thing as inactive or nomi- nal membership. Salvation is con- sidered synonymous with sefvice.
 A person may attend meeting on Sundays, but if, he is not willing to demonstrate his faith in some form of tangible helpfulness in the inter- est of others, or of the organization as . whole, he is not regarded as a good soldier. In short. the Salvation army regards itself as engaged in a continual fight against evil, and all. its operations as incidental to that end. Every soldier is given Something to do and he remains in good standing only so long as he does 1t.
 He is expected whenever possible to participate in open air meetings on the street corners; he may make a special study of the Bible and become Sunday school teacher; if unsteady inclined, he may be given a ce in the kand; th scout mc--e- ment or handicraft classes may claim him for theor own; or he may be- asked to assist the corps officer in visitation among the poor, the sick or in general social and charit- abl0 work. There are numerous du- ties to be performed, and something to which each and every member can,readily turn his hand, no mat ter what his individual aptitude or

inclinations r ay be. The Salvation army sees to 1t that its member: are busy and are kept busy. and the most amazinng thing of it is, tha these services are rendered freely without cost.
 The bandsmen play their instru- ments; the songsters sing theil vocals; the instructors train the boys and girls under their care the social workers tel.d the sick help the poor, aid in the rehabi1i- tation of the drunkard, the way ward, the paroled prisoner and tht unfortunate; and to them all, thi! means service. rendered freely with out cost, rendered carefully be- cause through it they succeed ir helping others.
 To Contin:-c Wcrk
 The Waterbury Salvation Army corps during the past year rendered such Survice to our city and art prepared to continue its ministra' tions among our people. Thoma! ACCCAlJ AoNAAO oNAO4 C0N in support of the 1887 maintenance appeal said, "The 1897 Maintenance appeal calls for the raising of $8000 To one whose daily occupation in wolves the handling of large sum! of money, and who becomes uccus' toned by reason of such transac. tions to handle them with stand ardized routine, the sum of $800' as an annual budget to carry on tht work of such an organization ma! seem a rneager amount and a rel atively trivial transaction.
 But when the same person, follow ing the practice of a good accoun tant, looks on the other side of thu ledger and endeavors to measur the effort, the charity and the ac complishments which this compara lively small sum produces, he ma, only say, truthfully, that he ha weighed the work of the local Sal

Cops Kayoed Grippe Takes l9 Out of Picture; Substi=
 tuteS Drafted

Nineteen members of the police department were today off duty because of illness, most of them suffering grippe or heavy colds while 8 few have influenza. The number of men absent is the high est in some time, according to Police Superintendent William J. Roach, but there are enough men available to carry out the regular department assignments.
 The city in general has numer- Ous cases of pneumonia, influenza and grippe, while an epidemic of colds has been noted during the past few weeks. Both St. Mary's and Waterbury hospitals have con- siderably more than the average number of patients for this time of year, but both institutions still have accommodations for addi- tiOnal patients.
 The wave of illness has depleted office forces in many local con- cerns. Factories have many work CTS absent at the present time be- cause of sickness. The general public planes the large amount of sickness prevalent on the mild winter that Waterbury has been having.
 Fire Chief Thomas F. Cav anaugh reported today that five firemen were off duty because if illness. The number is said to be about average.
 The following policemen are re- ported i'll: Lieut.. John Dunphy, desk officer at headquarters; Sergt. John Phelan and Sergt. Albert Wilton; Acting Sergt. John Hayes 1; Patr0lmen Joseph Norton and Ed ward Mcdonald, operators at headquarters; Detective Anthony Mariana, and Patrolmen John Me Weeney, Delmar Dunn, Patrick O'Rourke, Edward Higgins, Joseph Dwyer, Charles Harris, Daniel Namack, George Flavin, Matthew Guarini, John Shea, Dennis Carey and Thomas Bedding.

obtains relief after presenting her story which was one of want and privation.
 On the face of her statements, which appeared authentic, she was given aid. It has become charac- teristic of the local welfare depart ment to become suspicious of all petitions for aid and little "hard- boiled" after being temporarily syrn- pathetic. Investigation showed that the woman in question had deliber- ately lied. The real picture of her included a substantial savings ac- count in a local bank. She was not immediately put on the carpet" deprived of her relief allowances, but actually compelled to withdraw $200 from the bank and reimburse the city for its misplaced generosity.
 e-Checks Necessary
 That these cases are not SO infre- quent as one might believe is evi- dent from the statement of Mrs. Verdon today that her department has found 1t necessary to be skepti- cal of all claims and to conduct ex- haustive investigations of stories told.
