 Hartford, Nov. 2.-The directors of the National Life association held a special meeting, Monday night, the session lasting several hours. Insur- ance Commissioner Betts was present, coming up from New Haven to attend the conference. The commissioners re- port concerning the department exam nations, which was expected to be ready this afternoon, has been neces- sarily delayed on account of the prop erty valuations, which are now being made. It will take several days to complete the work, and the report may not be in shape for the public until the last of the week.
 The meeting, Monday night, was one of great interest to the association, be- ing the initial step towards the reor- ganization of the official board.
 The final action of the directors at this meeting was to appoint a special committee to prepare plans for con- plete reorganization and to report Thursday. This committee consists of L. L. Ellsworth, Charles E. Perkins, Sidney E. Clarke, o. H. Blanchard and Frederic H. Calkins.

The new quarterly directory of the Southern New England Telephone com pany now being distributed to it's sub scribers, shows a large increase in sub scribers which speaks we'll for the ser- vice. Comparison of this directory with that of December 31, 1896, shows a gain for the first nine months of 1897 of 1.133 stations, or nearly 126 per month, through the company's territory of Connecticut.
 This gain is distributed as follows: New Haven, 292; Hartford, 151; New Britain, 79; Bridgeport, 72; Derby, GA; Middletown, 57; Waterbury, 54; Stam- ford, 46; New London, 43; Norwich, 36; South Norwall1, S5; Canaan, 2S; Dan- bury, p; Torrington, 21; Windsor Locks, 19; Meriden, IS; Fishers Island, IS; Willimantic, Is; Litchfeld, IA; Put nam, 13, Bristol, 12; Southington, 1O; Danielson, 8; Saybrook, 6, and Rock vile, 4.

It has won praise in it's own country, played in Germany with credit, and this season will make a tour of the American cities to strue- gle with Philip Sousa and Victor Her. bert for the brass band honors of tbe country.
 The striking qualities in the playing last night were the remarkable preci. sion of the players, their refinement and their splendid ensemble playing The playing of the band was unoues- tionably finer than that of our military bands. Some of their work was excep.

Your Palate is Your Stomach's
 Conscience.
Your Stomach Knows What Is Good for YOu.

Tor Ou.
 Thin people are thin because the food they eat is not absorbed. Reasons: Ei- ther wrong food, or right food undi- gested.
 Fat, oils and grease will not make anyone fat. This is because they are indigestible. Thin people find 1t hard to digest their food. Fatty foods make 1t still harder.
 Have you ever noticed that almost without exception thin, pale, dyspep- tic, anaemic people have an aversion to fat? This is of itself proof enough that such foods are bad for them.
 Let your palate tell you what to eat. Nature makes very few mistakes and we should listen to what she says.
 Thin people may become fatter and dyspeptics more comfortable by taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It agrees with the weakest stomach. It helps the weak stomach digest other food It is fattening and invigorating in itself, for 1t contains artifcially digested food. The Mount Lebanon Shakers have made a great many interesting discov- cries within the past hundred years, but none more important than this in- genious cure for all diseases which are traceable to faulty digestion. A single 10 cent bottle will tell whether it is adapted to your case, and can be had through any druggist.

.ionally well done, and difficulties ire.

tionally well done, and difficulties ire quently insurmountable to such bands were overcome with complete ease and surprising effectiveness. Apparently, Signor Sorrentino was responsible for many of the best attributes of the per- formance, and his complete control ot the players was evident throughout the programme last night.
 The programme included the "Wil- liam Tell' overture, three numbers from Boitos "Mefstofele," selections from "Cavalleria Rusticana," Schu- berts "serenade," and Massenet's Scenes Pittoresques." Possibly in this last number the band showed best what it can accomplish with music so little suited to it's means.
 The solos on the brass instruments last night were played by the band not on comets, but on trumpets. There were two bass clarinets in the band, and another unusual feature was the presence of two tom-toms, played with astonishing vigor and virtuosity. In a large enough auditorium the Red band ought to be appreciated by all that en- joy military orchestras.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.

 Miss Mary Nichols, who was shot by Charles A. Bonai or David Weeks on the night that her brother, George Marcus Nichols, was killed by the bur glars, yesterday identified Bonai as one of the men who was concerned in the bloody deed Her Identification was not of the murderer's face, but of the voice, which she said at the time of the oc- currence that she would never forget. Miss Nichols was taken from the coun- ty court house to the jail in a closed carriage, and stationed where she could hear the prisoners converse without be- ing seen by them.

 LARGE VOTE IN ANSONIA.
Ansonias Republican Nominee fo
 Mayor Elected.

Ansonia's Republican Nominee for
 Mayor Elected.
 Ansonia, Nov. 2.-Despite the unfa- vorable weather, the interest in the municipal election to-day was manifest ed by the large number of votes boiled by both candidates
 Franklin Burton, the republican nom- inee for mayor, defeated his democrat ic rival, James T. Smith, by the small majority of ten votes. The total vote was: Burton, 1,107; Smith, 1,O97. The showing made by Smith was phenome- nal, considering that he did not enter the contest until Sunday, when he head ed the ticket after Mayor Webster had positively declined a renomination.
 Apart from the mayoralty contest the chief interest centered in city clerk which resulted in Captain A. T. Kirk ham receiving 1,221 votes and Attorney George H. Ennis 9Si. The common council is republican.

of His Identity.
 Rockville, Nov. 2.-The supposed Henry Dimlow and his two companions were arrested at Square Pond this noon and brought to this city. He is the man who was in this city yesterday, but gives his name as James Ryan of Lawrence, Mass.
 The officers hardly think it is Dimlow, as he has blue eyes instead of black. In every other way he answers the de- scription of Dimlow. Some say it is Dimlow: others that it is not.

freshing to witness plays such as those that is very meritorious. The name of Waite is synonymous with good enter tainment from Maine to Colorado and his three companies in different parts of the country all gave full value for the money invested. In the plays of yesi terday, where each part was so well done and most of them so admirably done, it is useless to individualize the cast. The stage settings, with the cal- cium light effects, made a pretty pic- ture around the lifelike acting. The third act of "Men and Women," where the directors have a meeting at mid- night, was as realistic n bit of work as has ever been seen in New Haven. The performances given at the grand this week worthy of the patronage of the best and most critical part of our theater patrons. This afternoon the company will be seen in a different line ofworkwhen George Larock's drama of Beacon Light will be presented.

 Polls Wonderland Theater.
 Mile. Troja is gaining as big suc- cess at Polls Wonderland theater as she did at Roster & Bial's during any week of her three years run there. Her style of songs and her manner of singing them are just the kind to make a favorable impression on an audience like those that attend Polls, and they have certainly done so. At every ap- pearance she is the recipient of unlim- ited applause, and the ladies are quite as enthusiastic as the men in showing their appreciation. There is a magnet ism about her personality, too, that is charming. In the company supporting her are a number of very bright ar lists. including the three Powers brothers, MT. Pusey, Miss Ashton and Master Conrad, the Fitzgibbons Trio, Miss Nellie Burt, Professor Parker and his dogs, Derenda and Breen, and. Mr. Parkinson and Miss Rotta. Popular prices, 10 and 20 cents: ladies in the af- ternoon, 10 cents.
