 Work is progressing On the founda- lions for the new East Chapel street drawbridge, but progress is slow. Since this work began, many people in the Eleventh ward have been deprived of the means of direct communication with the center of the city by the East Chapel street cars, and the deprivation has proved a great inconvenience; and all such are in a hurry for the bridge to be completed so that this transpor- tation will be restored. It is doubtful if the bridge is completed before snow flies again. In that event the cars for the shore this summer will be run by Grand avenue and Ferry street, the new curved tracks at Ferry street and Grand avenue proving a very convenient con- nection with the main line. At the bridge site, the construction gang is ex- cavating for the west abutment. The foundation work is to be very substan- tial and 1t promises to be an excellent job even if it does take a long time.
 MT. and Mrs. Lewis F. Converse of Grand, avenue have collection of calen- dars at their home, which is probably the largest in the state. There are 104 different calendars for 1899 and no two are alike. The largest is 32 by P inches and the smallest 1 1-2 by 2 inches in size. The calendars occupy nearly one side of a room and are attractively dis played. The collection of such a large number of calendars represented a great deal of work and they came from all over the country. Some of them are very fine and show much artistic work. Mr. Converse was asked if he would ar range a similar collection in 1900 and he said he doubted if he should make the attempt again, as it represented too much work.

MT. | Cooke is a son-in-law of Mrs Willis Hemingway of Fair Haven He has been in poor health for about three | years and is now just beginning to speak in public again. In the course of his address, he said: America and | England ought to be exhaustively ashamed of themselves If they ever again fall into war; if the stars and stripes and the old crosses of England are found floating in opposition to each other. The globe to-day is one neigh borhood and we aspire to make it one brotherhood"
