Judge Elliott came here from London
a few days ago, the request for his
resignation having reached him at the
time he was about to leave for Vien-

and Eastern Europe. Mrs. Elliott re-
turned with him and already has gone

Mr.. Elliott, the higher official wins,

This statement refers to certain dis
agreements that have existed between
Mi Elliott and Governor General
Forbes, which were laid before the
president shortly after Elliott had
sailed from New York to Europe and
which presumably led to the request
for his resignation from the secre-
tary of war, acting under advice from
the White House

This classification of counties is
made according to the area, assessed

3.174 per cent of the total area of
the state; it's assessed valuation is

of every county official correspond
to the salary of the same offilial in

Ten Commandments For Girls

First-Thou shalt not think thyself
The fairest one alive,
Nor tell their friends when thirty,
Thou art only twenty-five.
Second-Thou shalt not fiirt with
men
Nor win their hearts in play;
The spinster of tomorrow
Is the maiden of today
Third-Go light on talcun,
For before they're sweet sixteen
Some girls chalk up their features
Till they look like Marceline.
Fourth-If thou sh0uld'st some day
Thy hair is growing thin,
Thy shalt not sport the pigtail
Of a chinese mandarin.
Fifth-If indigestion's blight
Upon thy life should come
Partake of liquid pepsin,
For thou shalt not chew the gum.
Sixth-Thou shalt not try to squeeze
Thy foot into shoe
That ought to be a number four
But is a number two.
SEVENTEEN trashy novels
Thou shouldst never love to gloat'
But spend thy time on politics
If thou would'st some day vote.
Eiehth-Thou shalt not gossip
Nor give ear to every tale,
The female of the speeches
Would be better off in jail.
Ninth-Don't act the clinging vine
When visitors come in
And next day lead bargain rush
To buy a paltry pin.
Tenth-Assist thy mother
And don't be inclined to roam,
The angel of the lover -.
Is the angel of the home:

Chances Of Life.
Figures That Indicate Your Prob
able Future in Years.

Do you ever wonder how long you
are going to live? Ask an actuary
the man who figures it all for the
life insurance companies and who
can tell you with almost supernat-
ural precision.
He'll tell you that if you are 20,
and in reasonable good health
chances are II to that you'll live
beyond 80. To be 40, 6 Is to 1; to
be so, 3 to 1; to be 60, | 2-3 to |.
But he'll say that you have less than
l chance in 2 ~ to be 70; less than
l in 5 IL to be 80, and only l chance
to 100 to be 80.
Suppose you are So Your chances
run this way: To be 40, l. to |; to
be so, 4 IL to /; to be go, 2 1-S to
1; to be 70, 4 1-2 chances in 10; to
be so, in 5 1.2; to be, 1 in 100.
Suppose you are 80. Your chances
run this way: To be 40, II to |, to
be so, 4 IL to /; to be go, 2 is to |;
to be 70, 4 1-2 chances in 10; TO be
80, 1 in 5 l-2; to be 80, 1 in 100.
Or 40 years old. Actuaries' odds
are: To be so, s 1-3 to /; to be 60,
2 rs to /; to be 70, 5 chances out
of 10; to be 80, 1 in 5 3-S plus; to be
80, 1 in 100.
Fifty-year-olds' prospects are fig
ured: To be SO, 4 rs to Ito be 70,

If you are 20 your chances OF

Eighty-year-old men and women
have only chance in II to stave off
the funeral until after 60
If you are 80 there's no hope for
you. The actuaries have no figures.

The session opened with a song ser vice, Mrs. H. F. Palmer presiding at the piano. The report of Mrs. Palmer, the secretary, was read and accepted
 Miss Cross reported on the plans for the musicale to be held early in De- cember at the Universalist church. The programme will be presented by local talent, with the addition of a solOist from Hartford. It was voted that each one prepare a reading for the next meeting instead of having the usual programme.
 Miss Cross told of a note which she had received from a member who has been unable to attend meetings lately, containing a sum of money Miss Cross urged each member to work to spread interest in the w. c. T. U. She suggested as a means the distribution of the national union book, A Brief Sketch of the w. c. T. U. She also requested the members to try and make arrangements for the missionary societies of the various churches of the town to entertain the W. c. T. U. once a year, to hear what is being ac- complshed by the W. c. T. U. mis- sionaries all over the world.
 Mrs. J. J. Fields then reported on the visit of the members of the Anna M. Herr Y. W. c. T. U. to the county home on Saturday. Mrs. Fields ad- dressed the children and during the singing which followed Miss Laura UtIey presided at the piano. Miss Charlotte Christman also entertained the children with piano selections. Games were enjoyed and when the company departed they left good things for the children to eat.
 Dr. Lucille James urged wider use of the purity library at her office in the Alice building.

AT THE AUDITORIUM,
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

snappy bill of bright, entertaining vaudeville and motion pictures, sch9d- uled for the first three days of the week at the Auditorium, opened before good sized audiences on Monday and all were generous in their praise of the programme. The Aerial Barbours prove themselves to be pair of first class athletes, going through the most difficult stunts with apparent ease. Their muscular development is some thing remarkable Belle Myers is a dainty little singer, with a nice voice and new line of songs. She proves especially pleasing in her Scotch song and dance. A colored quartette that is full of fun and melody is the Car olina Four and in addition to their vocal accomplishments they have a variety of novel steps which demand recognition.
 The motion pictures include sen- sational 101Bison film, The Hidden Trail, a two-reel film of the civil war, The Equine Spy, which features Don, a $10000 horse, and a comedy number, Captain Ben'S Yarn

Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-05

The eighth annual report of the Nor wich board of gas and electrical com mlssloners, submitted to the common council meeting on Monday evening, shows net profit for the year up to July 31, 1912. of $41.018.92 after charg ing off $14, ,544.48 for the depreciation of the plant. It thus appears that the income for the year exceeds the cost of manufacturing and distribu- tion by $55,563.40. The sum for depre- citation is arrived at by taking five per cent. of the city's investment on July 31, 1911.
 The commissioners, John McWill- jams, Edwin A. Tracy and Arthur E.. Story, state that the profit on both gas and electricity for the year cov- cred by this report is the largest in the history of the department.
 Their report in part is as follows:
 City Lighting.
 The number of arc lights now in use by the city is 254 and the number of incandescent lights is SIS. These have burned all night and every night during the year.
 The statute provides that the gas and electricity used by the city shall be charged to it at cost. and the ac- tual cost of the gas and electricity fur nished the city for lighting streets and public buildings, including care of lamps, during the year covered by this report, was s19,65T.4S.
 The cost of lighting the public buildings was s64133 leaving the cost of lighting the streets $19.01615. Of this amount s15,49440 was for arc lights and care of same and $3,521.75 for incandescent lights and care.
 The actual cost to the city therefore for each arc light was s61, and $1107 for each incandescent light.
 Plant Improvement.
 The installation of the 750 k.w. Cur tis steam turbine and other apparatus in process at the time of our last report was competed during the win ter, leaving balance from the special appropriation for plant improvement of S7,0S4.34. This money is being used to lay a large new gas main from Burnham square across Preston bridge through Talman, Spruce, Center and Laurel Hill avenue to the new Ther- most building. We expect this new industry will make a very large ilS-
