Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. after hel
winter in Rome. passed few days IL
Boston before going to her Newport
country palaces. The season abroad
had not lessened her devotion to the
club idea. for hardly had she set her
foot on shore when she found herself
at a club gathering, in this case the
annual meeting Of the New England
Women's club, of which she has been
president for so many years. This In
itself-this Fastening to club meet
ing Immediately after tedious ocean
would be possible to few wo-
men in their eightieth year. Yet If she
could have her own way, Mrs. Howe
would not have hesitated to follow her
ocean voyage with I journey to Den
yer.
After six months abroad, Mrs. Howe
seemed in the best Of health and spir-
its, and was ready to talk about
the women's clubs ~ which she had
been interested while at Rome. 1t
WIS not, however. as some have
thought, regularly organized club
with cut and dried constitution, but
an informal coterie with aims some
what less definite than those Of most
clubs. 1t was Mrs. Maud Howe Elliot
who first proposed tt. her mother, say
ing. laughingly: Il know that you
will miss your cluls over here. and
wo must see what kind Of literary
gathering can be arra nged to take their
place"
What had been suggested half In
fun soon became an accomplished fact,
and group Of a score or more Of la
dies met eight or nins times during the
winter to listen III true American
fashion to papers or various subjects.
Although ladies Of several nationalities
were In the coterie. all were able to
speak or understand English, and.
therefore, most Of thu papers were CIV

by Mrs. Howe herself we're on "Op-

In very short time work on the new
road south So miles from Milford which
will be constructed as a result of the
enterprise of Hon. A. w. McCune, who
has induced others to join with him,
will begin.
Yesterday the contract with the
Short Line people was signed and the
preliminary work is now completed.
Mr.. Hoge will be down today and the
next step, the incorporation OF new
company, viii be accomplished The
papers have been drawn and VIII be
signed sometime this afternoon and
then fled for record with the secretary
of state.
Mr. McCune said last evening that
work would begin very soon. The ties
are all ready and can be shipped
southwark as fast as they are needed
The rails. which viii be furnished by
the Short Line, viii also be sent down
as rapidly as required.
Track laying will be done, as already
mentioned, by contract, and as soon
as the articles of incorporation are
signed, the advertising for bids will be
published.
The announcement of the work has
caused a great deal of satisfaction
throughout the state and attention has
Oeen directed to the enterprise of Mr.
-dcCune, who in an incredibly short
time after entering upon the project,
has completed all arrangements for the
work and the details. While others
have permitted the opportunity to go
by, 1t is pointed out that he grasped
the same and without delay put the
plans into execution. a leading rail-
way official said yesterday that were
there more men like McCune a road to
Deep Creek would be one of the i'm
mediate possibilities
In this connection it may be we'll
to state that all the money for the
enterprise is local capital 1t does not
come from the eastern money mar
kets, but is largely the money of Mr.
McCune who is the chief promoter of
the scheme Mr.. Hoge is also largely
interested and has contributed liber-
ally.
