Piconco Called on ;God to Strike Him
Dead, and He Died.
In California. the other day :a‘ man
accused of murder called upon God
to strike him dead if he were the mur-
derer, and straightway he fell dead.
The incident has caused a profound
impression. There is still enough su-
perstition, or whatever it may be, left
in American human nature to make
such a tragedy awe-inspiring.
Joseph Pincomco, a Portuguese,
owned a ranch in the Cleveland dis-
trict of Merced County. For some
- years a tract of land of some 150 acres
had been in dispute between him and
a neighbor nlamed De Rosa. The lat-
ter died, but his widow maintained
his claim ,and put a poor old Mexican
named Bernard Assuero in a cabin
on the disputed territory.
Assuero lived with no companion but
a little dog. One morning the dog
came to the De Rosa ranch in a half-
starved and dying condition. Sus-
picion was aroused and a visit was
made to Assuero’s cabin. There was
old man was found with his throat
cut and his cabin burned to the
ground.
The Mexican had been last seen alive
on April 15. Pincon-co had been seen
on that night on the trail which led
to Assuero’s cab-in. He was therefore
arrested, taken before the District At-
torney at Hollister, and questioned.
The man was told that he would
have to stand trial for his life. He
sprang to his feet with arms u=praised
and clenched hand and face tense with
despair.
"‘Now may God strike me dead if I
am the murderer of As-suerol” ~ he
cried. _
Then his arms sank, he swayed for-
ward an‘d fell heavily—New York
Journal.
Proudly Conscious.
The Boston Transcript tells av-story
of -~a little boy on a visit. He had
not been taught to say his prayers, and-
when he saw. the little boys of the
house say theirs he had a sense of not
being “in it” at all, and went to bed
meiancholy . The second night came,
and he he. ".111 the c‘i'Iildie-n once more

marks. hie Tigmarole, ending in
“Amen,” and when they were done he
said:
“Auntie, I want to say my prayer,
too.” .
“Very well, go on,” she answered.
The boy went 1.811.311 prettily on his
knees and rattled off:
“First in wa1, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of his countryMENl”
~ Then he rose, proudly conscious of
"laviug done the right thing.
Usefulness of the Shark.
., The liver of Lil-‘3 shark contains an oil
possessing medicinal qualities equal to
those of the cod. The skin, after be?
ing dried, takes the polish and hard-
ness of mother-of—pc'arl, and being
marbled and resembling fossil coral,
is largely used by jewelers for the
manufacture of fancy objects, by bind-
81$ for making shagieen, and by c-abi~
neomakeis for polishing woods. The

Stock and Mutual Managemnt
Compared.
HE comparative merits of the so-called “pu1 e13 mutual" system of manage-
ment for life‘ insu1ance companies and of stock management are
clearly shown b3 the following compa1 isons. We have selected the
13,1 ge‘s‘t pr 0X3 -n'1utual 00mpa11y 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, J anuJfl y 1,1897,shous that it has $525, 093. 79 more
than its entire surplus. invested in 1eal estate. (It inci eased its holdings of real
estate in 1896, $1, 108, 702.7 5) Its taxes 1epai1s and expenses on real estate in
1896 amounted to $298, 675. 90, or $42. 911. 31 more than its entire income from that
source, hence it appea1s from the sw01n 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 5m plus), but, on the cont1a1 y it was behind f1 om that source, as
shown above. $42, 911.3 31
Of the jETNA LIFE’ S su1 plus ($6. 711, 502. 25). it had on the first of January
last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissione1.1eal 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 su1 plus not invested
in real estate ea1ned in 1896 5 1- 10 per cent. 01 $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 ea1 ning anything on this
pait of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42. 9“. 3i.
These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favor able 1esults, in the above particular,
per ience, $469, 138, 25. ):
