Last week the Chicago Tribune and
the Milwaukee Journal contained de-
tailed accounts of the progress being
made by the Chicago and Wisconsin
Inland Lakes R. r. A map and pros
pectus has been long issued showing
| the proposed route. The line runs
from Chicago through Libertyville and
Fox Lake to Wilmot, where the road
will branch, one division going to Mil
Waukee and the other to Geneva and
Madison. The president of the COM
pany says that the stock has all been
placed and that they only await the
coming of mild weather to begin the
work of construction. At this place is
to be built the power house to supply
electric energy in three directions. II
is to be also the site of the car barns
and repair shops. Intact it is to be
the keystone of the whole system. We
suggest that the village be photo
graphed so that we will have some
thing familiar to look at by and by.
William Morgan prides himself upon
his ability to secure eggs from the eagle
which inhabits the reverse side of the
almighty dollar. When he heard that
at the /" shadow social" the young la
| dies were to be auctioned off he deter
mined to attend and buy every one
that was offered and thus corner the
market. Then he intended to sell
them at private sale and realize quite q
sum upon the speculation. He did not
succeed in this, but some of the oppos-
ing bidders narrowly escaped nervous
prostration. The shadows were sold
at almost impossible figures.

A Notable Society Event.


Thursday afternoon of last week the members of the s. P. Whist Clab of '96, who met during the summer season, were invited by their president, Mrs J. W. KnOwlton, to 8 reunion at her pleas ant home in Bridgeport. The day was propiti0us, conspiring as it were with Mrs KnowltOn to make enjoyment com- plete. The ladies attracted some atten- ti0n enroute, certainly "whist" did not apply to them until later in the day for they were a jolly company. At o'clock Mrs Knowlton's dining room presented an attractive scene. The air was redolent appointments of which glittered meath the brilliant gas light. It was surround ed by''sweet 8ixteen." " If any one doubted this they had to count them. An inter- spersion of "black broadcloth" could not have added to the effect. They certain ly represented the "better halves" of society. To enumerate the courses is needless. There were none lacking and most daintily served. The delicacy of the viands would have suited the most fas- tidious epicurean. Retiring to the par lOrs, the ladies presented Mrs KnoWltOn with a very handsome gold bon bon spoon set with jewels, Mrs Beardsley, secretary of the club, making the pre- sentation speech. Notwithstanding the surprise Mrs kn0wltOn accepted in a very easy and felicitous manner. The drawing of partners for whist was ac- complished by tinkliDg bells. The ladies who took the parts of gentlemen, seemed to feel the possibility of the position, emulating the ''lOrds of creatiOn' in a very satisfactory manner, showing at close Of game a very high score. Mrs Hitch and Mrs Beardsloy carried off the first prizes of handsome china, while Mrs Morris and Mrs Sanford were agree ably consoled. A social hour was spent before leave taking. Here the ladies ex- eel, if not at whist. tea being served The ladies grew vOluble lover the tea cups" and who shall say the arts and sciences were not the topics of cOnVersa- tion or that the present political situation was not ably discussed. The NewtO VII ladies returned home on the 6 9 train, voting it a very pleasant closing of their summer pastime. Those present from Bridgeport were Mrs c. P. Coe, Mrs H. A. Hitch, Mrs W. ". Courier, Mrs c. H. Flint, Mrs W. F. Hayes; from New town, Mrs George P. Sanford, Mrs Samuel c. Glover, Mrs J. A. Judson, Mrs W. J. Beecher, Mrs c. F. Beardsley, Mrs Dr E. M. Smith, Mrs Levi c.

If you want to purchase watch or a diamond go where they have an estab- lished reputation and where they sell the best quality of goods for the least money. Such place is the jewelry store of Rob- ert s. Gardner of Derby. They carry the largest and most varied line of watches, diamonds, silverware, jewelry, clocks and stationery to be found in this vicinity.
