years the present legislature has ex- tended Judge Warmers Woodbury troll ley charter, which he had permitted to go by default and die by failure to begin and complete within his chart cred period, it is sincerely hoped by Waterbury people at large that this time he means business and that he was sincere in his professions and as- surances recently in his legislative hearing. If so, trolley will be built this summer. If he delays and simply wanted his time extended not with any intent to build the road at all, as many people have suspected but to gain time to negotiate for it's sale on paper with the Connecticut Lighting and Power company ,or some other, then, in such case, the Woodbury troll ley is far in the future

THE wooDBURY TROLLEY.

The weather is getting to be charm ing. Two weeks will usher in the first month of summer. The Examiner man is not so particular, when hot weath CT comes, of taking an open-car trolley outing two or three times a week to Woodbury although he has in that pretty town several of his warmest friends in the world. They might be glad to see him by trolley perhaps, but three times week (and he could never visit Woodbury and resist a desire to call on them) would be too much. Fa- miliarity, they say, breeds contempt, and we don't want that except from our enemies, so that it can be reciprocated. We want the friends we value to see just enough of us, not too much Once in every thirty days is about right. But we would like trolley which went to Woodbury, provided it went via Quassapaug and could put us off, not at Buffalo," but at Tom Kelley's plantation or at Wallace's or at Whit temore's tepee, or the rural haunts of any of our boon companions whose fishing and hunting huts deck like Jean Jacques all bark finished inte- riors, the summer shores of that bot tomless lake, and are rented at less than half rates to wild cats, bats, rats, mice and cockroaches, during our long and cheerless winter months, which are yearly becoming more truly Arctic in their general character. Gs not this sentence, in length, breadth, height, width, and thickness, about up to the best our friend Charley Commerford ever penned?) Well, all the foregoing and much more, go to show that The Examiner man remembers the Woodbury trolley in his prayers and has done so regu- larly for now going on three years. He is losing faith in prayer and the answer, to it the beginning of work on this much talked of enterprise being now no nearer than when his interest and desire regarding it's completion first led him to bring it up as a request at the throne of Grace. It may be that our pious petition strangled it. because of our much speaking at it's birth. or perhaps, in the heavenly order of things the order to begin work on it has been omnipotently delayed year after wear to discover when we will stop weary ing Heaven with prayer for its build ing. In any event, so far as this Wood bury trolley is concerned, for year from date, no petition of ours shall again pierce the clouds on it's behalf. We will see then how it works.

 ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE VALLEY. The eUpson-Singleton company is now the second oldest clothing establish ment in the city.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
AT THE THEATRES.

An attraction of more than ordinary popularity is offered local showgoers on Monday evening, when MT. Richard Golden will present his splendid New England play, "Old Jed Prouty," at Polls. MT. Golden is identified with this play, of which he is the author, quite as closely as Denman Thomp- son is identified with ''The Old Home stead,'' or James A. Herne with "Shore Acres" He has been playing it for years, and with finish and keen art istic conception of New England life that has placed him among the best exemplars of the rural drama. "Old Jed' ought to attract very large audi ence to Polls, and it is hoped it will. CORRECT HAT WEAR FOR SUMMER

Hon. Samuel Johnson has returned
from visit to the Pan-American expo

several points in Canada. Mr.. John
son had not been east of Chicago be-
fore for a period of forty-seven years

vast changes and improvements to be

cars nearly fifty years ago and could
scarcely realize that he was In the
same place. Like every one else who
has visited the Pan-American eXposi-

seen, and says that for him this alone
was worth the trip.
