A Albany, August 31.-The Bay State
Beneficiary association of Westtield,
Mass, which was admitted to do business
in this state, in 1886, has not been re-
licensed this year by the state insurance
department. A recent examination of the
affairs of that company by the Massachu-
setts insurance department showed them
to be in an unsatisfactory condition.
The company, according to its last
annual report had 634 policy holders in
this state and the refusal of the insurance
department. to issue it license this year
simply prohibits it from attempting to
get any new policy holders in the state,
but still allowing it to do business.

day at Christ church cathedral. The
