duced several bills amending Ihs bank
Ing law in important particulars with
view to making the supervision Of
banks more thorough, thus lnsuring
greater safety TO depositors Three OF
these measures have already passed
one branch Of the legislature. and both
VIII become laws One places all pri-
Nate banks or places where deposits
are received under the supervision of
the department. Another requires di-
rectors to make a sworn statement an
nually setting forth the face and actual
value Of every piece OF paper or other
asset Of the bank. This will enable the
commissioner 10 judge OK the shrinkage
OF the value Of the assets from time
to time. A third amendment will per-
nit the commissioner to examine a
bank as many times each year as he
sees 1T. The present law calls for an
annual examination. This will be
amended so that these examinations
shall be made at least once each year.
Special examinations can now be made
at any time, but as the law provides
for but one regular examination, the
suspicious Of the public are always
aroused when more than one is made,
and this sometimes works injury to a
perfectly sound bank. The amendment
will obviate this difficulty
Commissioner Just, who will take his
Office Thursday, will increase the num-
Der Of state bank examiners and make
much more frequent examinations than
heretofore. General Anger has been al

 She was presented on Tuesday, in company with her daughter, at Miss Learys afte noon tea.
 That society will receive her wiih open arms goes without saying. Mrs Green is persona grata. She is not only rich, but well born, and those wh2 know her best say that when she chooses to drop the cloak of her eccentricities she can be a charming and interesting woman.
 It Is understood that Mrs. Greens present incursion into unknown realms is taken fir the benefit of her daugh- ter. Mrs. Green herself would much prefer tho society of the Chemical bank, where as in fortress she wages so successful war against the sharks of speculation.

Hyperion Theater. TWIN SAINTS" TO-DAY.

At the matinee to-day at the Hype-
 rion and again in the evening Twin
 Saints" will be presented and indica-
 tions point to large audiences at both
 performances.
 Of the play, which was at Parsons
 in Hartford Wednesday, the Hartford
 Courant says:
 Twin Saints" a clever and amusing
 farce, was given yesterday afternoon
 and last night at Parsons theater It
 was the most laugh provoking. piece
 that has been on the boards there for
 some time, and deserves large houses
 The situations are comical, the acting
 is excellent and the fun is continuous
 Each part was we'll taken, and the
 company gives full worth of the money
 to the audience. Theodore Babcock
 does some excellent acting in the dual role of twin brothers of very different character. Jennie Weathersby's old maid was an exceedingly clever bit of character work. and nearly all of the members of the company are good A Utica (N. Y) paper says: In the selection of the interpreting company Wagenhals & Kemper have displayed excellent judgment There was not one player in the cast who did not con tribute notably to the success of the presentation. The greater part of the work falls upon Theodore Babcock. who is the good Middleton one moment and the bad Middleton the next The inter pretation of the role esta blshed by Mr Babcock placed him in high favor by all who witnessed it. Another delight ful piece of character work was that of Sol Aiken as Dr. Yates Thomas
 Ross as Sylvester Witherspoon created an immense amount of fun by his clev- CT work with Jennie Weathersby as Patience and Louise McElroy as Pru- denee. Much was expected of Miss Julia Kingsley and anticipa tions were fully realized. She received most cor
 dial reception at her appearance. which she gracefully acknowledged, and dur ing the second act, after a climax in which she was the central figure, was presented with two handsome baskets | of flowers.

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form of piles is to use remedy like the Pyramid Pile Cure, which is ap- piled directly to the parts affected, and its wonderful healing effects are ap- parent from the first application, be- cause the medicinal properties are rap idly absorbed by tissues and sensitive membranes of the rectum, and the cure is made speedily and almost before the patient is aware of it; every trace of piles has left him.
 This is one of the reasons why the Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uni formly successful. It is applied di- rectly just where it is needed and where it will do the most good, Not by the roundabout way of the stomach nor by the harsh, barbarous methods of various surgical operations and so- called systems.
 Direct application to the seat of dis ease is the only rational way, and this is fully accomplished by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
 If the voluntary testimony of thous- ands who have tried this remedy is worth anything then no sufferer has any excuse for longer delaying in giv- Ing it fair trial, knowing that when you do so the Pyramid Pile Cure will have made one more friend, the best possible advertisement we can have The chief advantages of the remedy are: It cures without pain; the cure is lasting; it contains no poison; and lastly, it is the cheapest and quickest cure yet found. Your druggist can tel you what it has done for others Solo by druggists at soc and $1.OO per pack age.
