Mr.. Frost questioned the wisdom OF
creating another state commission to
be supported by the state or corpora
lions to examine sixteen local and six
teen foreign associations, The local as
sociations doing business in their own
localities are a blessing. He objected
to the placing of the local and foreign
associations in the same category, 1t
is proposed to tax the local associations
for the examination of the foreign as
sociations.
Mr.. Colt of New London said no one
doubted that the associations ought to
be examined. They have the unani-
nous report of the committee on banks,
backed by the statement of the bank
commissioners, that the commissioners
had not time to examine the associa-
lions.
Mr.. Cowell of Waterbury said he was
not favorably impressed with foreign
associations. The people of Waterbury
had sunk lot of money in Minnesota.
He thought salary of $1,000 was sutii-
Gent He believed, however, that it
would be better to place the building
and loan associations under the super
vision of the state auditors. He
thought the auditors would have ample
time.
Mr.. Clark Of Windham opposed the
bill, and said the bank commissioners
were the proper officials to supervise
the associations.
Mr.. Carter of Plainville opposed the
bill He said all the places were now
filled and it was time to create another
commission for some other office seeker.
There We're commissioners enough now,
and if they would do only a half days
work in the week all work would be
done Il wish the Atlantic ocean would
sit down on this commission business, y
said Mr. Carter In conclusion.
Mr.. Briggs of Middletown asked who
asked for the bill
THE building and loan associations
have asked for it, replied Mr..
Barnes
| Mr.. Briggs then said he didn't know
| but what he would vote for the bill.
| Mr.. Barnes of New Haven in closing
the debate said that 50, 800 was too high
a salary. If the salary was only $500 OF
| 1000 there would be just as many APP
| plicants for the position.
The amendment of Mr.. Heath was
passed.
! The motion of Mr. Keneally to recon-
NIT the bill was passed.
| The committee on appropriations re-
ported a substitute bill on the Tennes-
see exposition appropriation bill, The
substitute makes an appropriation OF
! So, 900 for the expenses of the governor
and staff "of attendance on occasions
where the governor shall believe the in
terest and dignity Of the state require
it." The bill was tabled for calendar
and printing.

To see a good performance in a we'll
ventilated house is a boon that the
patrons of the Grand Opera house en-
joy when visiting that popular place of
air is kept circulating through the
whole building. After three very sue
cessful days of comedy the last three
days are devoted to the drama, and the
management have much pleasure in
announcing that the elaborate scenic
production of "On the Bowery," in
which Steve Brodie is a central figure,
is to be presented, will be welcome news
to all classes of theater-goers.
An ASTONISHING success has been at
tanned by this play that is undoubtedly
due to the realistic element which per-
vades the comic as well as the sensa-
tional scenes. This piece introduces
Steve Brodie, who adds to the distinc-
ton of having jumped from Brooklyn
bridge, that of being the best known
character of the Bowery. He stands as
the type of numerous class that has
of late been receiving much attention
from playwrights, nOvelists, socolo-
gists, and other students of humanity.
The doings of his saloon, as shown in
this play, are an epitome of the comedy
and some of the tragedy of real life in
the poorer section of a great American
city The characters are all represen-
tative that go to make up this remark
able portrait gallery. They are so pre-
scented as to be all the more effective
from contrast. The principal people in
volved in the main plot of the play
belong to higher walks of life. Crcum-
stances connect their destinies for
time with dOings on the BOWery, and
Steve Brodie becomes an important
factor in the shaping of these destinies
He figures in the guise of protector and
rescuer, not only in his saloon but also
on Brooklyn bridge, from which he
jumps to save a girls life, and on an
East river pier, where he rescues the
same girl from a burning watch house
The scenery used with "On the Bow
cry is one of the most applauded feat
ures of the production. New specialties
and new Bowery features are shown
this season.

CUBA'S VOW.
The coming engagement of the big

cent years has had SO much of intrin-
| sic merit as this play, which is SO time
! ly and so fraught with deep heart in
terest. 1t is presented with an excel
! lent New York cast, and eight hand

Upon their return and while passing

did not check the speed OF the animal
which ran up the railroad with the cart
and its occupants a distance of about 400
yards, where an opening between

for the animal to leave the railroad, after
which the vehicle upset, throwing the
