The Davis company will probably
be occupied the greater part of an
other season on the remaining part
of the slough below the junction of
the tailrace. The contract TO
straighte1 and deepen Il channel from
this point 10 the mouth of the slough
to a width of 100 yards and Il depth
of from three 10 four feet was UNI
dertallen in July of last year. Last
year a hydraulic drcdge made espe-
cially fer the purpose was used ana
this year TWO dipper dredgeS. the
steamer Prescott and fleet of six
barges and six dump boats has been
employed. This contract calls for the
moving of about 100000 yards of sand
and mud and $1,000 yards of rock
The rock will have to be taken from
the upper part where the shore of the
island is >llirted closely. Cofferdam-
ming and blasting viii be necessary
at this point and it is hoped that the
stage of water will be low enough
next summer to enable this to be
done economically.
T. Il. Davis is looking after the eX-
ccution Of the contract in the lower
slough. as he did with the one that
has been completed. Both Jobs when
finished will have cost the govern
ment about 1925 600.

the plant will be in a position 10
utilize the additional power to the
best advantage. Extensive changes
are contemplated for another year.
Additional water wheels viii be put
in and arrangements made to connect
the generators directly with the
wheels by putting the power station
on the dam as is done at the govern
ment power plant in the main chan
mel This will do away with the rope
drives now in use. When this is done
the Peoples Power company Will be
able TO secure the use of about 5000
horse power constantly against the
5000 or 1000 that the government
gets. About the only way in which
this can ne interfered with is through
a remarkably low stage of water or
when, as happened during the pres
ent month. the ice gorges at the head
of the water supply and diverts it
into the main channel. In order to
| provide against these possibilities the
| company will be compelled to MAIN
tain steam power plant that can be
made ready for use on short notice
to Supplant the water power temper
arily.

mishap this week. Two Thousand dol

damaged by water. The accident oc-
cnrred Monday night. ON Monday The
In the Wales photograph gallery over
head much water is beng constantly
used for the washing OF negatives aud
like work, Tho tap IN the gallery had
been turned on and oif number of
times during tho day to find out if the
water was turned in again, aud finally
when the operators left the gallery for
the night the tap was left open. When
the water was turned in later III the even
ing the waste pipes proved insufficient to
carry off the water, and the result was
an ail-night overflow of water into the
Hiifiker store below. A large gallery
devoted to carpets and other floor cover
ings runs across the rear eud of the
store, and on to this the water ran and
spread, as well us spreading on the cell
ing above, SO that the area covered by
the falling water was large and the dam
age done correspondipgly great. 1t ran
through carpets and rugs aud then poured
down upon the stacks of clothing on the
tables below, saturating whole heaps OF
them. A case OF valuable white laees
had Just arrived that day, aud the still
uppacked box stood where it caught the
drip, and these were also ruined. The
mishap is most unfortunate Que, the
injury being about as bad us disastrous
fire, without the saving factor of an in
Surance.

READING OF "ENOCH ARDEN
An Appreciative Audience Entertained

 1 An Appreciative Audience Entertained at Warner Hall.
 A truly appreciative audience gather | ed at Warner hall last night and heard a superb and thoroughly artistic rem dering of Tennysons poem, "Bnoch Ar den,' by George Riddle reader, and B. of the best readers now before the pub
 lie, and his work last night is deserving of the most favorable comment He moved the audience to admira ton and responsive feeling by his sympathetic rendition of the solemn passages, and
 reused them again by the fervent man.
 ner in which he read the more emo tional part of the narrative. MT. Rid dle is certainly a fine elocutionist, and his expression, his articulation, enunci- ation and his conception of the reading were wonderfully superior to the many readers heard recently.
 MT, Lang, who played the score, is recognized as one of the leading expo nents of all that is artistic and beauti- ful in the pianoforte. With his abun- dant experience of accompanying he is eminently fitted to render the passages of nelodramatic music which Richard Strauss has set to the poem, and he accomplished this part with a remark able dexterity. It may well be said that the genius of the composer and the art of the reader and pianist made such an impression that applause seem- ed in this instance impertinent if not sacriligious."
 At o'clock in the afternoon a recep- tion was given to the two gentlemen in the Yale Art school by President Had ley and the instructors and professors of the music department.

THE FEEBLE FOLKS

l You know them; those who are un
 derstood to be, and really are, in poor | health. Exactly what aiis them nobody l knows; and when the local doctor is in ! quired of he either shakes his head or says. "Sor of general debility" Yet most of the feeble folk don't bother much with doctors. They know what to do for themselves, and so invest their money in f1annels and occasional short journeys in very mild weather. And thus they go on living year after year-never in sound health yet often kreaching old age
 Bilious persons, and women with per iodical headaches, or heart trouble, are of this kind. They know the import ance of quiet and of keeping the feet warm and bowels open Many of them, however commonly suffer from indiges- ton and have to be careful about their diet This helps of course to keep them weak and liable to colds and to ailments that are catching Others sui fer from severe nervous dyspepsia-of- ten complicated with liver, lung or kid ney isorders-caused by reckless living in earlier years, and these are still more to be pitied
 The point to be borne in mind now is that Mother Seigers Syrup cures all these complaints. Better to be feeble for 8 lifetime than to suffer from any acute disease but better still to be well and efficient and to get some pleasure out of existence as it runs along. There" for we say to the feeble folk. make a companion of Mother Seigels Syrup and hitch the song of living in a higher key. Any druggist will sell you this old time medicine and speak in it's praise.
 | have known of this medicine over thirty years. Have used it in the fam- ly and have seen it used among the neighbors. I have used it with gr eat re suits, and l never knew case where it has failed Michael Griffin, 1918 Sea view avenue, Bridgeport. Conn.,, Feb. 2S, 1902 ap14, IS.

HEALTH OF THE STATE.

The monthly bulletin of the Connec- ticut state board of health just issued shows that smallpox is still occurring sporadtcally in several towns, but is epidemic only in Waterbury. As an il- Iustlauon oI the possible control of tAe disease, 1t is reported that. except in Waterbury, it has been limited to one case in five other towns and to two eases in the other two towns in which 1t has appeared. The report says that its greater spread in Waterbury is due to the large number of unvaccnat- ed persons, the large foreign popula- tion, and the greater facilities for con cealing the presence of the disease un- til many have ben exposed to it."
 Typhoid fever is reported in 16 towns only in the state, and except in New Haven there are not more than two eases in any one town. In all the state only 25 cases were reported.
