under President Bucks, while under

rich local territory tributary to the
mountain division. New policies in con-
struction dated from the same period.
Glover, with an enormous capital
staked for the new undertaking, gave
orders to push the building every month
i'm the year. and for the first time in
mountain railroad building winter was
to be ignored. The older mountain men
met the innovation as they met any de-
parture from their traditions. with cur
iosity and distrust. On the other hand.

with confidence. and when Glover
called. "Yo, heave no." at headquarters

system for hard pull together.

ALLIANCE FRANCHISE

On Monday evening. Feb. 8. the Bridgeport Groupe of the Alliance Francaise will. have the pleasure of welcoming M. Marcel Poete, conferen- cier official for this year.
 The arrival of Monsieur 1e Conferen- year in the life of each GrouDe of the Alliance Francaise. This official lec- turer is chosen with the greatest care by the officers who compose the Ad- ministrative Council of the Federation of the Alliance Francaise in the United States and in. Canada. Among these officers, whose duty it is to select the Ambassador from France to the United States, and MT. Leroy White of Balti- more, brother of our ambassador to France. Every lecturer who has visit ed the United States up to the present time in response to this official invita- tion has achieved a great success. The reputation of M. Poete, both as @ writer and as a public speaker, is too we'll known to admit of any doubt that he will maintain all the traditions of the excellence of the official lecturers of other seasons.
 M. Poete, while still a young man, occupies a. distinguished official posi- tion in Paris, namely, inspecteus des travaux, historiques. ct Conservateur de la Bibliotheque de la Vile de Paris. He is probably the greatest living au thority on everything that pertains to the history of Paris from it's origin to the present day. and is the author of many valuable historical works and a constant contributor to several noted Reviews published in Paris.
 M Poete is remarkable not only for his scholarship. but also for his skill in arousing popular interest in histori- cal subjects. Each year he organizes in Paris an exhibition of pictures, manuscripts, models and other illus trative material bearing upon one special period in the past of Paris. In connection with this exhibition, he is accustomed to deliver a course of popu- lar lectures upon the historic period thus illustrated.
 The subject of M. Foote's lecture in Bridgeport will be: Madeleine Bastille, or a Short History of the Great Boule- wards of Paris. The lecture will be illustrated by the stereopticon. and will be delivered in Lincoln Hall. Cannon street. Monday evening, Feb. 8, at 8 o'clock.
