DERBY AVENUE BRIDGE.
The Bridge to be Improved and Its
 AnnrnacheS Widened

Approaches Widened.
 The selectmen of the towns of Orange and New Haven have decided to make a number of improvements at Derby avenue bridge over West river and to the roadways leading up to and from the bridge. The roadway will be hard ened and railings will be put along the embankment. The bridge will not be widened any, but will be strengthened. At the time of the Yale-Princeton foot ball game carriages will be ordered to go to Yale field by the Chapel street route, thus leaving the bridge for the exclusive use of the cars.
 These plans are the result of the re- cent conference between the officials and members of the Yale Football asso- citation.

No Middle Ground.

The drink traffic paralyzes every political,
social, moral and religious condition which
tolerates 1t. We cannot compromise with
this evil There Is no middle ground. Its
presence Is death. For the Government to
legalize, sanction, or protect 1t is TO form
league with hell and destruction. The
traffic should be destroyed, and as first
step the Government, both national and
State, should dissolve its partnership In
the business and cast 1t adrift, without pro-
lection. Then outlaw 1t as public enemy,
the legitimate prey for destruction. Be-
hold the ravages OF the flend as It sweeps
over the land, consuming thousands Of
souls annually, causing, ,desolation, despair
and death to millions. We hear the lar'en-
tations Of mothers and wives, the cry OF
hungry children. The demons howl in the
rum caverns of DEATH. See the grim gal
lows strangling their victims! Thousands
Of young men, the flower Of the land, de.
stroyed by the hideous traffic. How shall
this tide Of destruction be stayedf Who
will accept the commission Of the modern
prophets, and cry out from the watch
towers Of the land, ooh, turn ye, oh, turn
ye; for why will ye die of strong drink, o

was, had ordered my immediate re-
lease. So was turned out.

detailing the circumstances of the ar:
rest, and on my return Secretary OF
State Frelinghuysen sent for me. He
told me that the English Government

to make it as plain as possible just
how things were usually done in en-
forcing English authority in Ireland"

This is Henry Georges own story.
He dictated it to d New York World
reporter few days before his death,
and revised it carefully.
'sI was born in Philadelphia in
1885," said Mr.. George. "My father
owned bookstore and was publish

wards he was a clerk in the Custom
House and remained there quite a
while. I myself began life in Phila-
delphia as boy, working for So a
week in the Office of an importer of
crockery. I did writing, carried
bundles or turned my hand to any
thing else there was to do.
+. ssAfter that T went into the office of
a marine adjuster, but I was very
anxious to go to sea. Ny grandfather
was sea captain of considerable note
in the early days Of Philadelphia. He
followed the sea from the time lie was
eight years old. He had taken part
in the war of 1872, and had been cap

to Melbourne and then to Calcutta.

after this voyage I was about sixteen
years old, and felt like staying at
home while. So I went into the
printing Office of King & Baird. There
I learned something of the trade, but
soon afterward I went to sea again,
going to Boston and back in small
coal schooner.

East or in England. The publishers
laughed at the idea of there being a
sale for a work on political economy

termined to risk it, however, and he

course, 1 have never received anything

could get money to live on, I went to
