GENTLKMSN.-Your Directors have plea- sure in placing before you the first report and statement of the affairs of theComp^y. for the broken year ending the 31st day of l^ecember last, covering a period of about SIX months business operations. Notwithstanding the Umited number of agents at our command, and the active com- petifcons of older companies, through which the business of a young company must necessarily be somewhat prejudiced, we had written at the end of December, after a careful scrutiny of the applications, 254 Policies of Assurance, ammounting in the aggregate to $404,350. A considerable number of applications were declmed, as, in the judgment of your Directors, they did not rep-esent risks suf- ficiently good to be entertained. Nearly all of the risks approved are for small am- mounts, rauging from §,1000 to §3,000 each, averaging on the whole about §1,500 each hence we have only been obliged to effect reinsurance in two instances. The greater portion of this assurance is written upon the Ordinary Life and Yearly Renewable plans, consequently the aggregate income from first premiums is not larg-, and the required reserve is small. We haveno reason to doubt a continuance of the progress already made in obtaining business, or that the very satisfactory amount of .business done in the past few months may not be exceeded during the same term of the present year, with the hearty, co-operation we feel assured every shareholder will accord to the Manager and Agents of the Company. *ing to the organization and the opening up of agencies in the maritime Provinces and Manitoba, as well as the limited time we had in which to secure business before the close of the year, our expenses are pro- portionately heivy as compared with our in- come, more so than they would have been if distributed over a whole year's business, although in any event the expenses in ob- taining new business are heavy, and in the absence of renewal premiums must appear abnormally large. However it must be borne in mind that the present necessary outlay in establishine agencies, and bring- ing our company before the public is an in- vestment that will be principally realizable in the business of coming years, and is not properly chargeable, except in part, as ex- penses of the few months business we hid in last year. It affords us pleasure to be able to state that up to the present time we have not been advised of any claim against the Com- pany through death. Your Directors have applied to the Dominion Parliament for an Act to incor- porate this Company under the name and title of " The Federal Life Assurance Com- pany," and giving it some broader powers than it has at present also to remove any doubt that may exist as to the powers con- ferred by an Act of the Provincial Legisla- ture, which the Companj' was incoporated and under which it was organized, though licensed by the Dominiou Government to do business throughout Canada. A copy of this bill is herewith submitted. The whole issue of capital stock ($700,- OOO.OO) has been subscribed. In accordance with the terms of the Act of Incorporation the Directors all retire, but are eligible for re-election. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed) D. B. Chisuolm President.

"Wl^y, so?" inquired the indi- vidual. The conductor was about to reply, but the ca:- was diverging from Tremont street to enter Shawmut avenue (why one is called a street and the other an avenue has not been settled as yet by the savants of the Boston Society) when the bell was pulled violently. "Conductor," shouted a female, one of a trio who had risen si nultaneously from their seats, " don't this car go up Tre- mont street " "No, madame," replied the condnctor, with the suavity of a Chester- field. "And why didn't you tell me so?" she screamed. ' I did not know where you wished to go. You stopped the car, if my memory serves me, without asking our route." " Don't talk to me, sir don't talk to me." "Impertinent fellow!" ex- claimed the second. " Just as though he didn't know," chimed in the third. The trio bounced into the street. The conductor, without any evident excite- ment, pulled the bell and the car moved on. " I asked you a question just now, but you needn't answer it â€" I see, I sei." â€" Boston Journal. A Priest Murdered at the Altar. A h arrible crime is reported from Constan- tinople. Everj Friday â€" the Turkish Sab- bath â€" prayers for the Sultan are read in all mosques. During Divine service recently at the Mosque of Sultan Achmet, one of the finest buildings in the capital, the Imaum, or priest, mounted the pulpit to perform this duty, at a moment when the sacred edi- fice was crowded with the faithful. The priest was on the point of reciting the prayer in question, when suddenly a Softa, or religious student, who had follow- ed him up the steps of the pulpit, drew a yataghan, which he had concealed in the folds of his garment, and, exclaiming in a loud voice, "What you would pray for a man who is bringing this country to ruin " split his head open. The congregation looked on aghast while the assassin quietly descended from the pul- pit, seemingly indifferent about making his escape, and remarked that Abdul Ham'd' had no right to be the chief of the faithful, as he had not fulfilled any of the obligations of his positio a. No attempt was made by those present to arrest him, dnd some even attempted to fav- or his escape. The assassin was ultimately captured by the police, and by the Sultan's orders removed to Yildiz Kiosk, where he is confined pending his examination. -^ â€" â-  â€" ♦-^ By Teleplione.

" I recognize her vice," Grabbing the trumpet, he yelled out: "I'm your own father. I'm in St. Luce, Missouri, United States of America." "Uncle Jerry is well," replied the voice. "He went to town today. I got yer last letter. Uncle Jerry is goin' to take Toby ilealin's land. Give my love to mother.'

As the fiunily are rich it was likely a considerable amount, and as siie was to meet her father in Madrid it was all in cash, there being no letter of credit; a precaution usually taken. The day after the children had sailed the father cabled that he had gone to London to consult a physician there, and that they should await his advices in Madrid. The situation of the young lady and her two charges is an awkward one, but apart from the worry there can be no unpleasant re- sults. The father will, of course, learn the circumstance by cable and will send orders to have his children taken care of at the Spanish port, at which they land.
