STATE LIBRARY BEGUN.
Senator Bulkeley Breaks Ground
 With New Shovel.

Hartford, July S0.-With none of the spectacular, ground was brok- en late yesterday afternoon for the new state library building at the cor ner of Capitol avenue and Lafayette street. Shortly after o'clock some of the members of the commission and others began to gather, but 1t was three-quarters of an hour before a photograph of the group was taken which officially started the occasion.
 After the picture had been taken, Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley, chair man of the commission. took a new shovel. which was furnished especial ly for the ground-breaking by Con- tractor Edward Bali, and said: Gen tlemen of the Commission: By your authority, representing the state of Connecticut. shall now break ground for the building that in future years shall be devoted to the literary, his- torical and judicial purposes of this commonwealth"
 Senator Bulkeley then proceeded to turn over the sod and he was followed in turn by the other members of the commission. all of whom were pres- ent. They are H. Wales Lines of Meriden, W. o. Burr of Hartford. Charles c. Cook of West Hartford, l.. w. Robinson of New Haven and Thomas D. Bradstreet. state comp troller, member ex-oficio.

Prayers for Walker.

What steps are to be taken by the Baptist state convention r.
 forts to reclaim the securities hypo- thecated by Walker, are not yet made public. It was the burden of the prayers at the last meeting O. the convention, at Putnam. that the former treasurer should be himself reclaimed, and in one sense these prayers are answered. It is expect cd that the Watchman. the organ or the Baptists of New England. vill. in its current issue, give some whole some advice in the matter. Treas urer Prior of the convention is not an ultra stickler for etiquette. end would mol let the fact that Walker cannot return him call prevent him from calling on the prodIgal. but he states that although the name of the neu arrival is on his visiting list. he has not called to pay his re- spects.

LAYING SIDEWALKS
Lower Baldwin Street People
 Thankful For ihe Same.

The street department commenced laying sidewalks on lower Baldwin street to-day. If the work should be carried as far as Market street 1t will be great benefit to the large num- Der of people in that. district who have been pushing through mud dur ing winter all their lives. By the way, what has become of the manda- mus proceedings taken by City At torney Kellogg to compel the trolley company to complete the line in that street? Once in so often somebody rushes into print and proclaims that the city government doesn't use the trolley company right and that as a consequence we are paying higher fares here than elsewhere. We'll, let us see. The application of the troll ley company was granted without any condition whatever except such as the statutes impose, and yet they stop ped 1,700 feet short of where they had agreed to go. In other words they went as far as 1t suited them selves and have since stubbornly re- fused to go foot farther. In go- ing to where they stop they created expenses of not less than s100,000 which the taxpayers will yet have to pay for fixing Baldwin street be- tween Scovill's bridge and Stone street. It, was said at that time and has been reiterated a thousand times since, that 1t was shame to let the company create such condition in a public highway without making them bear share of the burden of ex- pense, but the city government didn't see 1t that way and there you are. Is this road unfinished because of pro- hibitive conditions? The trouble is due to the fact that the boot is on the other foot and the railroad con- pany does better here than in any other town in the state. They know Waterbury is easy, and think they might just as well have its citizens come down handsomely. It isn't a month since one of the railroad of ficials made statement, not for pub lication, of course, that they did much better here than they expected to on the new railroad station, better than in any other towns along the valley. The same thing might be said with reference to the trolley. The city uses all corporations right, but some of them want too much and because Waterbury always had a cer- tain number of officials willing to give them things on their own terms, they have invariably adopted the waiting policy until things came their way. This explains why you don't get the service other towns have. Any other explanation falls to pieces once you refer to the records.

DESERTED WIVES
Lack of Work Seems 10 Be ibe
 Cause in Many Cases.

There were never so many desert ed wives and families in Waterbury as at present and in consequence As slstant Prosecuting Attorney Mc- Grath is deluged with complaints for non-support. This lamentable state of affairs is mainly due to the pres ent dullness of trade in the factories. The fall is the season for cases Of non-support generally and the recre- ants usually are English speaking husbands; but the majority of the present cases that have come to the attention of the authorities are non English speaking men. English speaking women, and native born particularly, are slow to bring their domestic matters before the public, but with others it is generally the first thing they do.
 In case that came to the atten- tion of the authorities to-day the husband had been out of work for some months and only for the house. work his wife was able to do the whole family would have been very badly off. A few weeks ago the hus- band, tired of seeking work in vain, and finding no encouragement in the prospect for the fall, left town, and it is his wifes impression that he went back to the old country. She was asked how he could go if he had no money and that seemed to her an easy matter. He had friends in New York, she said, who would be de- lighted to give him all he'd need for he had little property in Italy.
 The prospect now is that the city will have a big account for outdoor relief this fall, if 1t does not exceed its appropriation for that purpose.

THIS ISN'T NICE
Garden clty's Basket Ball Team Came Herr
To Win, and Were Not Allowed
To Do So.

10 UO oO.
Two games out Of three, for tho
championship Of the Arkansas
Valley, was the Basket Ball bill here
last week. The con testants were the
M. W. A. team from Garden City,
and "The Tigers. one Of our teams
here in the metropolis. The Dodge
City team won the first game, on
Thursday night, the score being 81
to -. The second game on Friday
night was also won by Dodge City,
in a score Of 26 to 81. This wouldn't
be so bad, after all, as a big town
ought to have a better team than a
small town; but it leaves that terrible
doubt, as to whether or not Garden
City could have taken one game out
Of three. Under the arrangements,
If one team won two straight. the
series was to close. Let us imagine,
that II che third game had been
played, it would have been won by
Garden City. Lets try to feel that
way about it, any way.
In this contest for the Dodge City
team, Phillips, and Snyder played
Guards; Riney, center; and Hulpieu
and Kirkpatrick, forwards. For
Garden City, Thresher and Allen
forwards; Brown, center; and Studi-
want and McCammon guards.

DODGE SAW 1.-THE DEVIL"
Play That Has Been Largely Attended In the
East, Has Nothing TO Recommend Il.

Play That Has Been Largely Attended In the
East, Has Nothing to Recommend II.
"Go to the Devil" to night, at the
opera house, was the startling invita-
ton thrown out in Dodge City on
last Saturday, and a good many
went.
This play, which is claimed to
have had a great run in the east, has
little, if any thing to recommend it.
There is no purpose to it, no moral,
and even no attraction. Why it
should have continued run, even in
the east is hard to understand.
The character Of the "Devir' comes
upon the scene to help along love
affair between young wife, and a
young artist friend. The "sensation"
introduced is in the second scene,
when upon insinuations Of the ''DeviP'
the young woman Of the play is sup
posed to be on the stage Tor rather
in her rooms among her guestsi,
covered solely by an opera cloak,
which the young artist makes a bluff
Of tearing from her. This happily
turns out to be mistake, but the
"sensation", is effected. The "DeviP'
finally forces the woman to write her
young man a letter. telling him that
she loves him and will fly to the ends
Of the earth with him. She immed
lately repents, and rushes to the
young mans rooms, to prevent him
getting the letter. The "Devil" is
there, and pretends to tear up the
letter unread. Then the woman,
demands her letter, tells her lover
what was in it, falls upon his neck
and howls that she loves him, the
"Devil" points at them, and says tc
the audience: "And there you are" !"
The people who presented the play
here were fairly clever stage folks
especially Ralph Hardaway," the
"Devil", and it was very good pro.
duction OF piece that hasn't the first
redeeming feature.
