OF LOCfI INTER EST.

The Light Guards basketball team
will play the Southington team in that
town Saturday night
The committee on literary exercises
OF the Young Mems Republican club
at their meeting last night decided to
arrange a series of literary evenings.
Every Tuesday night will be devoted to
the rendition of literary programme,
the various numbers of which will be
lnterspersed with musical selections.
The Second Regiment armory will this
evening be the scene of the SEVENTEEN
annual ball given by the National Blues
The committee in charge have done ex-
cellent work in the matter of decora-
lions and the armory presents a very
attractive appearance The side walls
are hidden from view by pink and white
bunting, while great streamers of red,
white and blue stretch from every por-
ton of the building. At regular inter-
walls along the side walls are placed
large banners bearing the name of the
former captains of the company and the
years in which they served in that ca
pacity. Below each one of these ban
ners are placed two guns in the shape
of cross and knapsack and canteen.
The floor is in excellent condition and
the affair will doubtless be very great
success.

ON CENTRAL PROPERTY.
Appeals From Tax Assessment.


r The board of relief gave hearing
yesterday morning to Walter Malley,
who appeared on behalf of his father,
Edward Malley The assessed valua-
ton of Mr.. Malleys property was rails
ed about 100000 by the assessors. His
total taxation is $685. but he appeals
only from $471,S54, in which the raise
was made. Mr.. Malley stated that he
wasn't kicking about the increase, but
he was about the partiality shown. He
wanted his property left at the old rate
until such a time as the reassessment
was completed. Then he wouldn't OBJ
iect to the increase. He asked that the
valuations be left Just as they had been
for some years past until the reassess-
ment goes into effect. He held that it
was only those in the heart of the city
which had been raised.
The particular pieces of property up
On which the appeal was taken are as
follows: 9O6-912 Chapel street, $125,317;
920-926 Chapel street, $71,467; 926-932
Chapel street, $61,667 934-942 Chapel
street, $71, 1857; 171-1S2 Temple street,
SIS, 800; Center street, corner of Tenn
ple, $61, 66S; Gregson street, $4,000; total,
$471 1854.
Secretary Coe of the board of relief
explained that the people lying outside
of the property in the center which had
been raised had been paying taxes on
two-thirds basis for years, and that that
Nm the center was not greater than one
Third.
The board took the matter under
consideration.
Harvey S. and Edward B. Munson,
representing Munson & Co., whose fac
tory is at No. 1856 Clinton avenue, asked
for a reduction from the assessment of
$4,000 on their plant They asked that
the valuation of the property be reduc-
ed to $1,000

Delegates Discuss Changes in Constftu-

The Improved order of Red Men of
connecticut held a special session in this

About one hundred delegates attended

THE MOTH IND THE FLAME
As Produced at the Hyperion Last
%


1.-THE Moth and the Flame" three
act drama from the pen of Clyde Fitch
was presented at the Hyperion last
night by a thoroughly competent ana
clever company headed by the twin
constellation, Herbert Kelley and Ellie
Shannon. The play is far from conven-
tional in many ways, although treating
largely of the misplaced love and con-
fidence of a woman in the man she
loves. She blinds herself to his past
and places all her hope on his present
and future. Believing impartially IN
him, her faith is shaken only at the
very altar when they are to be mar
ried by his evident cowardice in strlk-
ing the woman whom he had betrayed.
His love, however. lives on and he at
tempts by coercion and threats to re-
gain what he had lost, with of course
his final defeat at the hands of the Wo-
man whom he loved.
The play possesses many intensely
dramatic scenes, that hold the attention
of the beholder to the very end. These
are almost all we'll lead up to, and are
excellently handled. The more serious
side of the play has a very effective foil
in the comedy portion that is of a re-
freshing and exuberant type. The chill
dren's party, in which the society mem
bers dress and act the parts of the
younger generation is very amusing
The most successful comedy element,
however, containing the most gentle of
satires, is that afforded by the church
scene of the second act. The feminine
guests with their comments on their
neighbors and the participants of the
wedding are amusingly clever The
work of Mr.. Kelley as the reprobate,
if such he may be called, of the play is
worthy of some praise. His greatest
fault is an evident desire to overdo the
acting of the critical points. Miss
Shannon's work throughout shows con-
scientious application to a very diff
cult part The supporting company is
well balanced and very capable. Miss
Abbott as Mrs. Lorimer, a much mar
ried widow, contributed largely to the
evenings entertainment by her clever
work. The play is very well staged,
presenting a novelty in the church
scene of the second act. The piece will
be presented again tonight when an
audience in size more worthy the merit
OF the production should attend

Charles Fl. Fales; Henry James, now of
Stratford; Kate Alabama, who married
Rev. James Henry Chaplin, Phi. D., and

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look For The
Cause.

| cause.
| Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
| business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
| ton.
| Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
| The close relation between heart trou-
BILE and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves. the Sympathetic ana Pneumo-
gastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half-digested food; there is feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest,
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ell
ements in pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

to Parliament.
Paris, Feb 21.-The following is the
text of President Loubet's message to
parliament:
Summoned to the first magistrature
of the country, I need for the accom-
plishment Of the great duties devolving
upon me the cooperation of the senate
and chamber of deputies. I ask this of
you, and I am sure it will not be with
held. You may count upon my firm de-
sire to dedicate all my efforts to the de-
Tense of the constitution. You have as
pledge thereof my unchanging devo-
ton to the republic. The regular trans
mission Of power accomplished in a
few hours after the most sudden death
of our beloved and regretted president
Felix Faure, has afforded in the eyes
of the whole world fresh proof of the
fidelity of France to the republic at a
time when some misguided men are
seeking to shake the confidence of the
country in it's institutions. The ma
tional assembly plainly signified on
Saturday it's desire to bring about the
pacification of mems minds and re-es-
tablish and make lasting the union of
all republicans.
"Passionately devoted to the princi-
pies of the French revolution and the
regime of liberty it will be my constant
anxiety to assist parliament in this nee
essary WORT of tolerance and concord.
During the course of the temporary diff
ficulties through which we have passed
France, by her sangfroid and dignity
and the patriotism of her parliament,
has grown in the esteem of the world
Why, then, did we not hope for some
improvement in the internal affairs?
Does not this understanding exist in the
country?

A Desirable Position.

New York. Nov. pa special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Major
William j.. Vofkmar,- assistant ad%jutant
general, has applied for retirement,
thereby creating one of the most desir-
able vacancies that has occurred in the
staff of the army for a long time. The
eagerness with which appointments to
the adjutant generals corps are sought
is realized when it is stated that over 200
applications had been filed for Volkmar's
vacancy before it became generally
known in the army that any retirement
was about due. These applications came
not only from captains of the line, but
from majors, who could expect no imme-
diate advancement in rank under the
existing organization. 1t is general con-
viction in the service, however, that the
adjutant generals department is soon la
be expanded. when the promotion of
officers who are already in the corps will
be rapid and their influence increased.
Most officers in fact are beginning to
look on entrance to this corps as their
personal salvation. Major Volkmar is
now attached to the headquarters of the
department of the lakes at Chicago. He
served in the Fifth cavalry until appoint
ed major and assistant adjutant general

The Case Is Settled.

New York. Nov. 22.-Word was receiv-
ed in Wall street last night thai the
British court of appeals had. during the
day. rendered judgment in the case of
the Mexican international railroad, re-
versing the decision of the lower court
and permitting the to proceed
with a plan for funding its six per cent
bonds through an issue of 81, 500. 900 AeXi-
can international fiVes. According to his
report the railroad expects to realize
about 50, 0G0, 900 by the operation. AS the
interest on the first mortgage SKIES of the
Mexican national railroad has been met
regularly. it is believed in Wall street
that the refunding plan relates to the
second mortgage SKIES. These are of two
classes, A and b, the total issue being
ST. $50, 900 Of each class. The interest on
class A is cumulative and from time to
time certain payments have been paid.
but there is considerable back interest
still due. A proposition was submitted
to the holders of the A and b bonds in
1880 to consolidate the control of the COM
pany by turning these securities over to
a corporation, which would issue it's W
securities against them. The plan was
declared operative and the corporation of
the Mexican National Railroad
limited of london has issued E2.241, G75
non-cumulative five per cent A and E1,-
