ROAD WORK
 BEING DONE

Continued from First Ioage.) tain it's State aid roads. When any town neglected to do so, the law was such that the State could not enter up- on that road for the purpose of making a repair until the town had made good the processes lost through inattention and neglect.
 This, naturally, was handicap to a prompt and proper mobilization of the State aid roads, for in some in stances towns failed to make good''. Under the present law, however, a fund has been created for the purpose of enforcing repairs in such instances. Upon failure of a town to take care of it's State roads, the State is author ized to enter that town, make the re- the town as a penalty for it's derelic- tion.
 That something must be done to off set the deterioration caused by auto mobile has become apparent. Water ing rOads is in many cases prohlb1t1ve. The next best thing, naturally is ap- plying oil, or some other dust layer or preservative, as a make-weight for the dust To this end, Commissioner Macdonald has resorted to the use of oil, and several sprinkling carts are busi1y at work on the main roads macadam-in the State.
 Residents of this city and Fairfield county can congratulate themselves on the fact that the improvement of the main trunks converging at the various centers is in a, good way to become an assured fact, for with the contracts already running a number of the poor sections, of road in this locality will be eliminated.

SEPTEMBER BRIDES
Three Weddings of Note in Local Catholic Churches
 Today
St. Joseph's Church Throng- ed at the Callahan-Reck Nuptials-Many Present at Styles-Gaynor and Can non-McKenna Weddings

Three weddings of much interest To- cally were solemnized in local Catholic churches to-day. At St. Joseph's church Dr. James Henry Callahan was married to Miss Harriet H. Beck, a nuptial mass following the ceremony. Rev. Hubert H. Dahme. rector of the church officiated first tieing the nup- tial knot after which he sang the mass. Within the chancel rails were Rev. Father Lynch, rector of St. Charles, and Rev. Father Callahan, Father Fitzgerald of New Haven. The music was by the St. Cecelia quartette and all of the details of the wedding program printed in the Farmer yester- ed charming and the cosy little edifice was packed to the doors. Following the ceremony there was a wedding breakfast at the home of ithe mother of the bride to which upwards of l5o guests were bidden. The floral decora- tions at the church and the home were most profuse and attracted no little favorable comment. pr. Callahan was attended by MT. Joseph D. Hartigan. The bridesmaid was Miss Florence Callahan. sister of the groom and her handsome appearance was commented upon by the guests at the church.
 The ushers were pr. william F:
 
 and Attorney E. F. Hallen of this city. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. John Beck, widow of the former wide ly known florist, and is a sister of Carl Beck who has succeeded to his fathers business. She recently re- turned from a. prolonged stay to Ger many. She is a. young lady of many agreeable traits of mind and charac- ter and is a. pronounced favorite with a legion of friends. There is no more in hqn Henry Callahan as his friends like best to call him. He is one of the fore most of the younger dental practition- CTS of the State and has a host of friends. The young couple were law ished with beautiful wedding gifts. They left this afternoon for a honey moon trip to Maine and will be gone about one month.

Coal Selling for Less Here Than in New York

Domestic users of coal will probably see before Winter sets in an increase of at least 25 cents per ton on all anthracite. with a possibility of an other 25 cents tackled on before the Winter season has finished it's course. Coal was advanced 25 cents a ton during the latter part of July, but at the present time is selling much cheap CT in this city than in New York which is much nearer the coal fields.
 A local dealer said to-day: '"The lower price here is maintained largely to induce the purchase of coal in large quantities in the summer months, the price in other years being raised 10 cents month as winter approaches. This year coal consumers failed to take advantage of the reduction as they did in other years. There was so much strike talk before the agreement with the miners expired that the con- sumers. apparently. became used to it, and even when the stage was reached when strike became inevitable. were skeptical.''

Accused of using two women theo- sophists of New York, Mrs. Lillian H. French and Mrs. Frances Belden, sis ters, as dupes in scheme to part wealthy men from their money, the well known schemer Ann O'Delia Diss De Bar turned up again in New York, the scene of her best known exploit. When Mrs. French and Mrs. Belden turned against Mrs. Diss De Bar, or Mrs. Jackson, as she now prefers to be known, the woman disappeared. She has figured in many schemes, in eluding- the promotion of new and strange cults, ia many parts of the world for thirty years. Her most not ed feat was the defrauding of Luther R. Marsh, well known New York lawyer, under the guise of selling him pictures produced by spirits. For this she served a term in prison. In 1901 she and her latest husband, Theodore Jackson. were sent to jail in England for robbing and ruining young girls under pretense of converting them to new religion. Jackson is still in jail but Diss De Bar was released on pa role. Violating English law, she came to America, and the police of Great Britain are anxious to lay hands on her again.

An Entertaining catbird.

Nothing escapes the eye of our pet catbird, for he is curiosity personf- fed. He wants to know the why aud wherefore of everything that is a lit tie strange and does not rest until he has found out. When let out in a room he will carefully examine every nook and corner. He is an inveterate joker and delights to play jokes on his fellow prisoners. while his sense of humor is almost 1humaS at times. The pincushion is constant wonder and delight to him. He flies to it as soon as let out of his cage and either pulls the pins all out or drives them into the cushion as far as possible. If he pulls them out. he hops to the edge of the table and drops them on the floor, flirting his tail and uttering 8 note of great satisfaction when they strike the foor.-Suburban Life.

He was an Englishman of the ultra sort and recently arrived, but he was striving strenuously to catch up with American idioms and New York slang. He had made some progress. He loomed up in the breakfast room of his hotel the other morning after too convivial evening and encountered one of his companions.
 tHow do you feel, old chap?" asked the latter.
 "Feel?" repeated the Englishman. "Feel? Oh, yes, see what you mean, old fellow. Well, really, don't you know, feel like one and six"
 Hike what?"
 'sLike one and six, as you chaps say here. No! Hold on, there! I mean 30 cents, you know; feel like 30 cents. Yes."-New York Globe.

Mark Twain said the only introduc- tion to a literary audience that seemed to him the right word in the right place, real inspiration, was as fol- lows:
 Ladies and gentlemen, shall not waste any unnecessary time in the in troduction. I don't know anything about this man-at least I only know two things about him. One is that he has never been in prison. and the other is I can't see why he hasn't.v
