city of Bridgeport and the Consolidated
railroad on December 21, 1895, by
which the location of the road is to be
altered in that city, changing its curves
and improvements has been approved
by the railroad commissioners.
Charles DeWitt Rodgers, who is crit-
ically ill at No. 7, Quintard avenue,
passed a quiet night and this morning
his temperature is slightly lower. The
critical time will probably be to-night,
and Charlie’s many friends are anxious
lynn's
'ly waiting and hoping that it will pass,
leaving him much improved.
A GAZETTE reporter had his Orient
wheel sent up to the factory for slight
repairs. It was gone just one week and
came back with every equipment placed
in perfect order and a bill of "no
charges.” It is companies like this
that the wheelmen have confidence in
and patronize.
David Dillon of South Stamford re-
ceived a telegram,7Tuesday, from Green
Castle, informing him that his son,
John F. Dillon, aged 22 years, had
been instantly killed on the railroad at
that place, and that the remains would
be interred there. Dillon was a brake-
man. He left home about five years
ago.
On Sunday evenings during July the

wood will preach in the Congregational
church and Rev. G. H. Beard in the.
Baptist church.
President Charles P. Clark, of the
Consolidated railroad, will sail for Eu-
rope to-morrow. It is stated that there
is no business attached to President
Clark’s trip abroad. He has engaged
passage on the steamer Touraine, of
the French line, which sails at noon
Saturday, for Havre. Mr. Clark will
be absent from this country about two
months.
Considerable excitement exists in
this city to-day over the Steve O’Brien
—Dave Casassa race, which takes place
on July 7th. The race is from the
Orient palace on North Main street, to
Stamford and, return, for $10 a side_
Both men are training hard for the
race of their lives, and Col. H. A.
Saunders has his eye on both of them
and says it will be a good race. As the
Colonel has his money on O’Brien, the
Orient rider, the knowing ones are
placing their money on the same con-
testant. Casassa thinks he will have
something to say after the race, and
has a number of friends back of him.
The muscles of both men are now so
strong thatthey are beginning to de-
molish cranks, pedals, and other parts
of the wheels.

Smaller Apple Crop.
The apply crop isn’t going to be any-

says the Winsted Citizen. A man who
has a number of apple trees says that a
big crop such as we had- last year is a
delusion and a snare. He says a small—
er crop means better apples, more time
to care for the crop and more money
for a smaller amount of labor in caring
for them.

HOTELS IN CHINA. . 5
Not the Most Comfortable Places in which

The hotels are usually grouped with-
in a square or two of one another.
Each one seeks to attract guests by
high-sounding titles. For instance,
in Canton are hotels which flaunt the
signs of “The Fortunate Star,” “The
Golden Profits,” (an unusually frank
confession for a landlord'to make)
“The Iiank-Conferring,” and “The
Happiness.” The food is not so bad,
but the traveler who goes to one of
these houses to sleep will wish that
he had none to another. The bedrooms
are small, thin-walled boxes in which
you may hear the breathing of your
next neighbor or be kept awake half

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY!
The “Orient ” and “Saracen ’
Are THE wheels of to-day.
At Saunders,’ No. 12 North Main
Is where they hold full sway.
He carries every part in stock
And treats you all alike,
No trouble if of him you buy
Your N inety-Seven Bike.
At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer,
The reason is, they’re fitted with
The famous “Pitch line gear.”
The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
You know the reason why,
They’re just the class of riders
Who know what wheel to buy.
Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,
Just watch them in the races,
And for yourself you’ll see.
And when the victory’s over,
When time prize has been won,
They’ll quietly speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.

THE J. 7’. FROWITT-
Stock and Mutual Management
‘ Compared.
, llil‘lll LIFE illili CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.
HE comparative merits of the So-called “purely mutual” system of manage-
ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are
clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the
largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec-
ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ZETNA LIFE, the largest com-
pany with stock management. ,
The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance
Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more
than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real
estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate in
1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or 942911.31 more than its entire income from that
source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in-
come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real
estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as
shown above. $42,911.31.
Of the ZETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January
last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount-
ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00.
Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested
in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in-
come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone.
The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this
part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42.9ll.3|.
These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular,
as the ZETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present eX~
perience, $469,138,25. ):
