est gathering Of Catholics and their
friends that have assembled in a long
time. Tickets may be had from mem
bers of the order, for the ball will be

O'ROURKE GETS
$3.50 FOR LAND
Two Of League Magnates' Lots are Taken
in Making the Proposed Extension Of
Winter Street.

Land owners in Winter street who
originally petitIoned for the extension
and Strengthening out of that street
and who have since sought to have the
matter reconsidered, have waited too
long and the Improvement is to be
carried out. The city auditor re-
ported to the Aldermen last night that
at the meeting held on March Is the
council had accepted the report of the
Board of Appraisal of Benefits and
Damages on the layout of Winter
street extension. He added: by the
acceptance of the report you obligated
the city to pay the sum of $3.50 as
damages to Attorney James H.
player. The time for taking appeals
for such action has expired and no
appeals have been taken. The pass
age of the following resolution is there
fore recommended, if you desire to pay
such dana ges: Resolved, That the
City Clerk draw an order on the treas
urer for the sum of $3.50 in favor of
James H. O'Rcurke for damages
awarded for the layout of Winter
street."
Alderman link of the Twelfth dis
trict moved that the auditors report
be laid on the table. The report was
adopted and the $3.50 ordered paid to
Mr.. O'Rourke.
The payment is for the purpose of
reimbursing him for land which will
be taken. Winter street at present
has a blind end at the west. except
for an outlet into Beardsley street by
means of a lane The plan of the
extension carries the street westerly to
Smith street.

STlBiLlTY OF LAW +.
MAKERS SUSPECTED

D. =
Tosthe Editor of the Farmer:
I SIr:-rhe notice recently issued to
those interested IN the Ogden St
building line carries on its face some
WHIST Of the ridiculous, as well as to
make one suspect the stability Of the
makers OF our municipal laws, and city
ordinances and causes US to wonder If
there Il any reason for the oft-recur-
rines wish to destroy the prescribed
lines and boundaries.
It. being strange In the face of our
cityss effort at improvement in the line
Of street widening and STRENGTHENING
that the growing needs Of the COM
muufty IN one section should be the
opposite in another, and taxpayers be-
come 50 tolerant and passive that not
= dissenting voice is raised in defence
of their rights. and thus allow estab-
slishsd laws to be twisted and distorted
beyond all recognition because Of a
SELFISH request Of some selfish indf-
vfduaL whose civic pride can be
measured by the extent Of his own
door yard and whose usefulness as a
progressive citizen becomes a question
to be settled by a school boy.
There is on record a decision arriv-
ed at by the Council relating to the
fitness of building lines. and faithful
good citizenship. With such an un-
derstanding how can any one be so
Rverse to the growth of the city as to
wish to become narrower and thereby
limit the expansion that is a necessity
bysreason of the shortsightedness of
our City Fathers If the past whose ex-
ample, in that respect, let not the
present incumbents initiate
It is high time that the citizens of
this fine city become broader instead
Of narrower and have it reflected in
our thoroughfares: and particularly
as refers to the street in question,
which, for natural adaptedness to the
wants Of a growing population, has
SAD reflection upon the intelligence
D ffhe city officials to put beyond the
reach of the city such advantages as
IRE presented by this fine crosstown
thoroughfare, which awaits develop
nent by persons possessing progressive
desires and a fair amount of civic
pride. No city between New York and
Bo8ton has such golden possibilities
staring 1t in the face and causing at
teTltion as the city of Bridgeport, and
It seems from observation that blind
ness exists to an alarming degree,
Judging from such requests as are
made frequently to Illustrate the too
tn1an amount Of progressiveness that
exists in the minds of some. The
echoes of the Council chamber should
be the broadening of the land and an
endorsement of all that savors of up
to-date civilization. Why not once, and
forever, put q stop TO this QeS1re TO en-
eroach upon the line which has been
terognized by the community of home
builders, as the limit and thus con-
form to rule. which is somewhat of
IN sunwritten law amongst people de-
bfrous Of having uniformity and con-
bistency of design and an absence of
buch Objectionable features as are to be
peen, projecting beyond the main
building of many of our edif1ces, which
mars the beauty Of the effect which
Ill who have any pride in the appear
hnce Of the city greatly. deplore.

DANGER NOT CLOSE AT HAND
Men Will Run Things Few Years
Yet Is the Prophecy Of the OBJ
servant Drummer.

A group of men were discussing the
possibilities and dangers of woman
suffrage. All but one expressed the
fear that the movement was gaining
such momentum that in compare
lively short time this fair land would
be transformed and man no longer
would be master. The exception, a
commercial traveller, with years of
experience in studying human nature,
scoffed at their alarm.
Don't worry" he said. We'll be
safe for good many years yet. In all
my trips about the country find that
two.thirds of the women travellers,
even those who are self-reliant enough
to gallivant about alone, can't go to
bed even in sleeping car without
first looking under the berth to see
if there is a man there. So long as
that primitive feminine instinct sur
wives our institutions are safe"

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as 1t could
possibly be is Quaker Scotch Oats {:
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food Tor making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest O.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan
tages which the White already pos
scssed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however.
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success. and. therefore. the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make public demonStra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
ficted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.
The Springfield herald., 1909-09-10

The complete success OF the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion OF
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish OF the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly.
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
