OPINION ON DIVIDENDS
Attorney General Light Gives One to
 Bank Commissioners.

Hartford. Sept. 24-Attorney Gener- al Light has given written opinion to the bank commissioners in the case Of companies which temporarily fail to pay dividends. In substance the opinion says:
 The legislature has said that the bonds under considera tion shall not be legal Investments for savings banks when the corporation shall fail to pay dividends on all of it's capital stock The word when is an adverb of time and as used in the statute means at which time, or while So I interpret the statute to mean that no bond of any railroad corpora tion named shall be legal investment for a say.nes bank while or at the time such corporation or the system of which it is a part, fails to pay diVi- dends on all of it's capital stock

 Miss Cleveland in the leading role of Dona Maria has added Ia mother tri- umph to her unquestioned dramatic ability As King Philip ]John Car roll was seen in a. most fa:vora 'ble light. Harry Ingram, as Don Juan, ably maintained his versatile reputa- ton and shared just tributes with Miss Cleveland. Miss Bertha Krieg- hoff's impersonation of the blind girl. and John Byrnes as the Court Fool were ideal in the parts for which they contributed materially to the success of the production, which is not only attractive to the eye, instructive in it's scope. but highly enjoyable as an at traction. Its run in Bridgeport is sure to be successful and largely att tended.

Evangelical Church

The lecture given by Guy F.
Phelps on the White Slave
Traffic" was well attended and
the interest manifested was
proof of the able manner in
which the speaker handled his
subject. In a forceful manner
and yet with unobjectionable
language depicting the ins and
outs of this horrible traffic. At
the close, the audience showed
their appreciation of the lecture
by giving the speaker a good
offering, and subscribing for
several copies of his book Ethel
Vale, the White Slave"
The Ladies' Aid gave their
monthly tea in the basement of
the church Wednesday afternoon.
This is monthly event and il
brings in quite a little revenue to
the church. Through their eff
forts they have been able TO
treat the main auditorium to a
brand new carpet at a cost of
about $l20, which was laid the
first OF the week. This gives the
church a neat and attractive ap-
pearance; the work Of the Aid is
highly appreciated by the MEM
bers and friends of the church.
They are certainly a faithful
band directed by the tireless en-
ergy Of their president, Mrs. j.
A. Monahan. ~
The business meeting and so
cial Of the Philo Christie class
and Christian Endeavor will be
held together at the home Of Mr..

evening at 8 p. m. this week. All
the members and friends of either
of these organizations are invited
TO be present. A good time is
assured.

deavor at z. AT 8 o'clock the IL
lustrated sermon will be given
which was postponed on account
of the lecture. The subject is
"The Lost Sheep" This Is the
second of a series which will con-

is for the Portland association TO
make the selection Why the de.
lay we cannot understand Public
sentiment is pretty much chaotic as
to where site really should be. Some
strongly favor accepting the free
site offered by M. l.. Holbrook,
while others contend the location
should be in the heart Of the busi-
ness district. There seems to be
quite Number favorably impressed
with Block 2, just below the city
hall, for library purposes. The
chief arguments In its favor are the
unsurpassed river view. the fact
that IL is on the dividing line be-
tween the two wards. is close to

good roads lead to Il near the high
school so that II would prove
source OF great aid and convenience

their work, and the owner has
offered Il to the city for library pur-

worth. However. Il is up to the
Portland association to recommend
the site, and II is reported that II
may do so this week.
