 SECRET WEDDING
Grandson of Late Marcus Hanna Mar.
 ried WOodbnry Girl Last July.

New Ha,en. Oct IA though Q wedding notice sent out for publca- ton in to-days papers. it became kn VT. hat Miss Gertrude L.avitt. daughter of the late Edward Leavitt of Woodbury. Conn.,, and Carl Hanna. son of Daniel Hanna of Cleveland and a grandson of the late Marcus A. Hanna, were married on July 30 at Bridgeportburg. Canada. 4

Hanna met her on the train They stopped off at Buffalo and were married at Bridge burg across the river. They will live in Duluth. Announcement of the marriage was withheld until MT. Han na went into business.
 Carl Harrington Hanna was a fresh man in the Sheffield Scientific school last year. as a member of the class of 1911 S., and roomed at 400 Temple street. He had not returned to col lege this fall and nothing had been heard from him as to whether he was to return later.

 ASSESSORS

The assessors have received from the office of Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin an invitation to attend the meeting of assessors of Fairfield coun- ty and neighboring town with the com mlssioners, which will be held in city hall Wednesday. Also blanks have been received for the annual return to the tax commissioner, and a circular letter appraising the assessors in rela- tion of certain duties.
 Attention is called to the oath of of- flee taken by the assessors, ito faith fully discharge, according to law your duties as assessor to the best of your ability" The circular says that all property unless legally exempt shall have to be assessed at it's present true and lawful valuation" A separ- ate list must be made of house and building lots, which should not be in cluded in the valuation for dwellings. The taxable property owned by non residents must be arranged in separate lists. All bonds are taxable except those of Connecticut railroads and electric railways. Money on deposit in National banks is taxable.
 The Tax Commissioner concludes by saying: 'The new law relative to the election of assessors provides for not less than three assessors in each town who will hold office for at least three years. This in general insures a con tinuous board which can put in opera tion a definite policy of revaluation and equalization without danger of political interference. Any failure therefor on the part of assessors to

$ IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Every person in the city who has not been to Polls this week should do so before it is too late. A great show is on there and every lover of vaude- ville should see it. It is a great show, 1t is a classy show. Mile. Dazie has won every person that has seen her. A wonderful person, is Dazie. Full or magnetic influence, from the moment she steps on the stage until the end of the pantomime. her personality is felt by the audience. You do not real ly know what the influence is you cannot adequately describe it, but you feel it. As a dancer she is certainly superb. Graceful in the extreme, handsome and attractive. as the flower girl, and when she assumes the garb of the ballet dancer with it's glitter and surroundings she entrances you.
 MT. Poli is to be congratulated on his shows that he is giving us every week. They are all high class. From the opening of this season, every week we have had classy shows. Shows that have seemed to appeal to the public taste better than any shows of prev ious years.
 It has been remarked over and over again all this week that there has never been shown on the Poli stage, or even seen with any circus such animals as are seen this week in the last act. Max Gruber has indeed a most wonderful elephant, and his horses and pony are great.

Then two other signatures were required, they being trustees entitled to cus- todv of the funds, and finally the seal of the society was required to be at tached. Smith skipped.

Dennis s. Fitzgerald, of New Haven, was elected yesterday at Toronto for the third time to the executive board of the Street Railway Men of Ameri- ca. At the convention which was one of the largest that this body has yet held the much talked about graduated insurance feature was partially de- feated. This is a matter which has been a bone of contention among the trolleymen. That the idea will ulti- mately be worked out is quite com monly believed.

CHAPTER II.
The Girl.

| The %IlTl. Conover lounged back and forth in the pretty little reception room of Desiree ShevIin's house, halting now and then to glance with puzzled ap- proval at some item of it's furnishings. The room-the whole house-was to him a mystery. Contentedly devoid of taste though he was. the man dimly realized the charm lof the place and the dainty perfection of its appoint ment. That Desiree had accomplish ed this in no way aStonished him. For he believed her quite capable of any minor miracle. But in it all he took pride that had voiced itself once in the comment:
 q don't see how you could make room look so nice without single tidy or even a bow tied up anywhere. But why did you get those dull old tiles for your mantel? I wouldn't a. kick ed at payin' for the best marble.' ' Today, Conover gave less than usual homage to the apartment. He was agog to tell it's owner his wonderful tidings, and he chafted at her delay in appearing. At last she came-the one person ton earth who could have kept Caleb Conover waiting without paying, by sharp reproof, for the de- lay.
 as she brushed the curtains aside and hurried in. sBut Billy and couldn't agree on the joys of tubbing. I'd hate to hate anything as much as he hates
 
 luck, Glorious, scrumptious good luck! I can tell by the way your mustache is all chewed. You only chew it when you're excited. And you are only excited when something good has happened.

Is it anything about Steeloid?"
 Its all about Steeloid." he answer ed. 'I've won out-Ive made my pile" She caught both his hands in hers, with gesture almost awkward in it's happy impulsiveness.
 'sOh, I'm so glad! So glad!" she cried. Tell mel"
 Boyishly, bluntly, eagerly. ConoverI repeated his story.
 His florid face was alight, enthu- sia sm wel1nigh choking him. She heard him out with an excitement al- most as great as his own. As he fin ished she elapped her hands with a little laugh Of utter delight.
