PAIR OF SILVER SPOONS.

A. F. Banta has been the recipient of two rather unique silver spoons from Lorenzo Hubbell. who has a trading station on the Navajo reserva- ton. The spoons are by no means artistic, in fact their chief beauty consists in the absence of artistic work. They were simply hammered out by the Indians and are shaped like spoons, though their handles are slightly abbreviated and they can be made to perform the service of the most artistic spoon.

MORE TRAINS ON NAUGATUCK.
General Belief That Service Will Be Improved Next Month.

Patrons of the Naugatuck and Berk- shire divisions of the Consolidated road are beginning to talk of, expected changes when the winter time tables go into effect, early in December The impression has gained ground that there are to be extra trains on the Naugatuck road. and it is thought some of the present trains running be- tween New Haven and Ansonia will be continued to Waterbury. Others believe new trains will be run be tween Bridgeport and Waterbury. sim ply making connections in Ansonia.
 It is also believed there will he q change of Sunday trains on both di7 visions The fact that there will be an application at the coming session of the legislature fir trolley extension north ward from Ansonia has much to do with the talk. for it is believed the railroad company will fight the grant- ing of the charter and that one of it's moves will be to increase the number of trains between Ansonia and Water bury-Ansonia Sentinel.

BIG DEAL UNDER WAY.
Clock Company Contemplates Making
 A Large Purchase.

A Large Purchase.
 The contemplated purchase by the Waterbury Clock Co of almost all the adjoining property fronting on Cherry street and running around to the San dom block on the corner of North Elm and Cherry streets is the talk of the town to-day and if the project does not fall through it will be one of the biggest real estate transfers ever made in this city at the same time. Be sides the church on Cherry street, the property in question includes some very valuable buildings so that in case the purchase should be made it is safe to state that the company will have to come down handsomely. for prop ertX in that section is in big demand and has always brought q good price. The plan as at present does not in clude the property of John H. Moran, but it is thought that in the near flu ture the concern will want all the land in that square bounded north by Cherry street and east and west by Cherry street and North Elm street and running to the present Southerly line of their property. The plant has grown wonderfully the past few years and will soon be one of the largest of the kind in the country, if it is not that already. Naturally the people who own property there will hold out for good price. but it seems to be generally understood that all will sell at market value. With all this prop erty at it's disposal. the Clock shop would be in position to go into the expansion business on q large scale.

FOR A NEW ARMY BILL.

Chairman Hull Summons the House
 < Military Committee.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-Chairman Hull of the house committee on military affairs has called a meeting of the com mittee for next Tuesday. He hopes that quorum will be present and that the committee can go to work immediately upon the outlines of a new army bill.
 Tt will be in the direction of economy 10 pass the army bill without delay" said MT. Hull. ''The army now in the Philip pines will have to be brought home in the summer-that is, those of the men who do not care to re-enlist The transports which go out for them should depart la den with the troops who are to replace them, else the ships will make one voy age empty"
 Mir. Hull was in conference yesterday with the president and with officials of the war department upon the character of legislation desired by the administra- tioa.- He said the president will commit nicate to congress very fully his recom- nendations about the army, and he did not. assume to speak the presidents mind in advance. .a- ..
 He thought, however, that the admins tration would not be content with any makeshift legislation, no proposition tG continue the present law for two years more. His impression was that the presi- dent wanted authority to raise regular ar1ny sufficient for the needs of the coun- try-100, ,000 men, if necessary-the num- Der to be reduced when there was no lon ger need for them. . MT. Hull said the Taft commission had reported that 15,000 Filipinos could be enlisted immediately in the army for the Philippines and that they would make good soldiers under American officers There was no fear of repetition or Great Britain's experience with the Sc poys, for the Filipinos,, Mir. Hull said. have no national feeling like the natives of India. Moreover, added Mir. Hull, the experiment of enlisting native troops has proved successful, and there are no more ioyal or efficient soldiers than the nativef enlisted in the British army in India.
