NAUGATUCK SEYMOUR
Trolley Line Expected to Be in Operation July 1.

It is expected that the trolley line from Naugatuck to Seymour will be in full operation by July 1. At least every effort will be made to have 1t ready by that time for the Fourth of July business, when, as usual, great crowds will be on the road. The tracks have been laid for some time the entire length of the new road and only a few miles of the overhead wire remains to be strung, But that is the work that will take the time, for the guy wires and other wiring covering such distance as this road will take lot of men to finish 1t up if the road is to be ready for July. Most of the poles are up and, in fact, all of the heavy work is done but the wiring.
 Tn connection with the bill to re- duce the fare from Waterbury to Naugatuck to 5 cents, Representative Reidy, the author of it, said yester- day that one of the defenses for the two fares between the points men tioned is that according to General Manager Punderford the new line will soon be in operation and the 5 cent fare payable at Platts Mills will entitle passenger to travel about five hundred yards below the pres ent terminus in Naugatuck before another fare is collectable. MT Reidy says he has majority of the com mittee on railroads with him in this matter and if the Business Mems as- sociation of Waterbury would help him out he is confident his bill would go through.

LIBRARY ON WHEELS.
One Way That the Bronson Might
 Use to Distribute Books.

Waterbury Is now equipped with steam cars, trolley cars and sprinkling cars, and unless all signs of the time fail, the next move In the car busi- ness will be a coach put on the road by the Silas Bronson library to meet the demand for good reading matter in the sparsely settled regions of the town. A branch established at Waterville some time ago is giving excellent satisfaction and naturally the service is sought after in such places as Simonsville, Hopeville, South Brooklyn. Town Plot, Mohawk Park. Mill Plain, Bucks Hill. Bunker Hill, Long Hill and other places from where 1t is considered quite hard ship to walk to the main building on Grand street. It is out of the Ques. tion to establish branch in each of these sections, but the demand for books could be met by library car attached to a horse which would tour the outside districts regularly, giv- ing out books to all who wanted them and taking them in according as peo- pie got through with them.In this way the cost would be confined to the ex- pense of suitable vehicle and one man, and would be considerably less than if room were opened in each district and somebody paid to lock after 1t. The library car has long been in use in other cities and while nothing definite has been done to- wards introducing 1t into this town it is likely that the day Is not far off when residents of suburban Water bury will have somebody with books stop at their doors are regularly as the baker or butcher and sing out from the street: Any books to-day!' This may appear somewhat fanciful but Miss Sperry has facts which show that the library car can be work ed to good advantage and so long as this is so there is no reason why it should not be pressed into service here instead of hiring rooms and pay ing out good money for clericol ser vice that can be dispensed with with out. in any way curtailing the use fulness of the institution to the pub lie.

MEETING OF NEPTUNE AND MARS
Unparalleled Pageantry at Jamestown
 Exposition-Big Naval Display.

Norfolk, Va.-May 6.-Soldiers and sailors, the ships and the sea, martial music and the roar of bat tleship's broadsides. Palaces of peace filled with things of pure de- light; sylvan solitudes and merry mazes of festivity. Shore-line; azure dome of Virginian sky above all; that is the picture of the James, town exposition.
 To offer one of the most unique military spectacles and one of the greatest naval spectacles of all time is the distinctive and splendid privi- lege of the Jamestown exposition. The latter made manifest in the immense gathering of the formidable warships of all nations that are dropping their anchors before the sea gates of this transcendant celebration. Judging from the immense interest displayed in the imitation battleship at the Chicago Worlds fair, this vast as- semblage of the fleets of the nations, will be the crowning attraction for the millions of visitors, especially those from the interior. The great fleet is now assembling. and the mag nificent array of American battle ships now lined on Hampton Roads Is by far the greatest yet gathered beneath the American flag.
 Of the foreign fleets that of Great Britain is the most imposing, and when the great ship, Dreadnaught arrives. this. the worlds greatest fighting craft. will make an exposi- tion by itself.
 No other American harbor, and very few in the world could afford anchorage to the stupendous aggre- gation that is now in Hampton Roads and that will shortly be aug mented.
 Unequaled in the history of American naval displays, it will yield precedence only to the great gather- ing of British and foreign warships assembled of the Isle of Wight at the time of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. No other exposition in all history ever had such an asset.

WAITING AT THE STORE.
People Lined Up Early to Get May
 Festival Tickets.

To a person who was ignorant of the near approach of the May festi- val, Waterbury's big musical event, the crowd at the Buckingham phar- macy doors this morning at o'clock would lead him to think something was wrong, and that hurry call for the police might be in order. At least 25 people were in the line, sev- eral ladies being among the num- Der. After the store doors were opened the crowd scattered into vari- ous corners of the place, waiting for the hour for the box office, to open. i It was good natured crowd, not Iwithstanding the long wait, for some Iof them had been in line since long before daybreak. About s o'clock carriages and autos appeared in the line, and the first hours sale of tick cts seemed to assure the complete suc- cess of the big event. Only ten tick cts were allowed to one purchaser, so there was not much chance for the speculators. By noon the house was pretty we'll sold out for the three entertainments, although number of good seats still remain.
 One hundred and ten persons drew numbers, but all of them did not take their allotment of ten tickets each. About the first forty in the line picked out all they were allowed to take.
 Some amusing Incidents were mo- ticed last evening as the boys were forming in line. A batch of boys who had been hired to wait from 12 until o'clock this morning, were in a lunch room on Bank street when one of the number perceived another group coming down Bank street Im- mediately there was a rush to form in line and there was scramble be- tween the youths to get the first place in the ranks. But as the boys from the lunch room had the start they secured the choice positions.

Victor Rosewater in his address advocated
the consolidation OF Omaha and South
Omaha. laying stress on the tendency OF
eastern capitalists TO ask the population
of city and its percentage Of increase be-
fore investing money in 1t. He said this
point overshadowed all political considera-
lions. He urged the builders. who, he said
had obliterated the geographical bounds
between the two cities, to help wipe out the
political line between them.
Mr.. Hitchcock spoke of the agriculture
development of the territory tributary e
Omaha as an assurance that the upbuildinl
