Just what the summer wearing ap-

was so badly damaged as to be an en-
tire loss.
Miss Edelmann is a Stenogra pher,
and she says that the amount asked
as indemnity for her clothes is reason
able for a working girls travelling
wardrobe. This amount is $35 25, item

BOARD OF FINANCE ON fl SATL. Inspected Bridge and Took 9 Trip to
 ThimbIe Islands.

Captain E.. S. Dove, aldermanic mem- took the other members of the board of finance and some of the city officials on a sail in the tug under his charge. The primary object of the sail was to inspect the various bridges. The party first sailed up Mill river nearly to Grand avenue and then up the Quinni- piac to Grand avenue, where the new drawbridge was looked over Only one bridge was found to be in particularly bad condition. The pier on the city side of the Tomlinson bridge is in a tumble-d down condition. The site of the proposed new Chapel street draw bridge was looked over and it was found that the amount of masonry needed for the new drawbridge will be considerably more than was generally supposed, as it is not simply matter of piers, but the abutments must be built back to the harbor line, probably 200 or 300 feet.
 After inspecting the bridge the party was transferred to larger boat and taken for sail to the Thimble Islands. where short stop was made at the home of Finance Commissioner R. H. Brown on Governors Island. Lunch was served here and also on board the boat later in the day.
 Those in the party were Mayor Farnsworth, Captain E. s. Dove, R. H. Brown, Burton Mansfield, Councilman Maley, City Controller Brown, Charles E. Curtis, Henry c. White, ex-member of the board 0f finance; Director of Public Works Beecher, and City En- gineer Kelly.

THE UP TO DATE AMERICAN


 The American of full rank, the na- who is honored by brevet in his first papers are never behind the times in their desires. The very latest is none too recent and the individual who is just ahead of his neighbor gathers the laurels and the 1ucre. We no longer travel by stage coach or canal boat or stop at hotels affording feather beds for rest or fried stake for a feast. Our news we must have hot off the wire and the news of the day is dry even in an extra the moment it ceases to be damp. We desire quick action for our money even in sermons, and our amuse- ments must be electric and on tap at command. Shakespeare never played for 10, 20 or 30 cents at the Globe. Per- haps if he had there would have been a roof on the theater and the actors would not have been rated as vaga- bonds. There is more change as well as changes in the theater of to-day as we are to have an example in the open ing of the Grand opera house Monday next by Breed & McKenna. The con- tinuous performance is the policy of the new managers and anyone can run in at any time from in the afternoon until Il o'clock at night and the show will be moving on all the while; some thing which should please the resident with time on his hands as we'll as the suburband visitor and shopper.
