city receives in addition to grooved rails which are intended to placate Main street owners and merchants. the new and microscopic Seaside Park above Stratford avenue with string attached and the long promised removal of the Naugatuck dock and the accompanying dredging both of which will benefit the road, the road promises not to close the sidewalk at the foot of the stations inclined en- trance or the walk on the south side of the viaduct bridge, the former of which is necessary to the. use of the inclined entrance. while the latter is equally as necessary to the passenger traffic of the roads steamer line to New York, both being essential to the proper and convenient conduct of the roads business. This promise of nom closure is one of the so-called ''con- sessions to the city. It is an empty promise. The road could not close these walks without destroying the principal entrance to it's station and providing a new passenger approach and exit for its steamer line.
 The professed compromise is a sur render, without "the honors of war; an abject, ignominious surrender. Ex- cept the grooved rails, there is not one compensation of real value and that one is insufficient. The ten-year old boy who should negotiate such a deal in Yankeeland, would probably be sent by his parents to the home for imbe- ciles. Acceptance of the professed com promise is the most shameful chapter of Bridgeport's history

Government Economy
 To Save $1OO, 900 Yearly

Washington, June 9.-Carrying out the policy of economy adopted by the new Administration, it is declared un- officially that within a few days steps will be taken to abolish the division of returns in the Department of the Interior. By this means it is believed that s1O0,OOO a year will be saved to the Government. The division of re- turns has been maintained as a check on all contracts awarded by the De partments of War, Navy and Interior, and it has outgrown it's usefulness.
 A board appointed by President Roosevelt just before he went out of office has been looking into the ques- tion of curtailing certain departments and abolishing a number of bureaus altogether, and this board is expected to file it's final report this week. The division of returns was created by Congress in 1862, and Congressional action will be necessary to eliminate it. This will be asked at the begin ming of the regular session in Decem- Der.

Cupid's capers,

The hymeneal affairs of this coun-

late, and county clerks, minister's
and judges are correspondinely nap
py. Going back to the 22nnd ulti-
mo we finnd that on on that auspic-

Moore were united at Matte by
j. NJ. Berry, Justice of the Peace.
On the 25th of the same brief
month the Rev. Albert jRatcliff

and Mr.. Frank Peters. We also
find recorded that in the same short
month at Maize, this county, Shan
uon Hay took unto himself in we'd
lock Miss Lissie Gibson, the Rev
M, A. Hay pronouncing the fateful
words. This hazy, may affair
must have somewhat obscured
the senses of those concerned lay :,

under the circumstances they are
excrsable.
On March the second Robt. Steph-
ems, of West Virginia, took unto
himself Jewell-Mibs Minnie,
also of our neighbor State Ecross

at the court house, Judge T. S.
Thomson officiating. The Judge
is quite popular as a splicer.

you read-no pun intended-that On
the second day of this month FredI
Ewing was married to Neva Reed,
