Saving Time or Time T.bIes.

Saving Time or Time Tables.
 To most people. especially when they are on the road. time is money. but time tables are not convertible into cash. Tn the pages of Through Saw age Europe" Harry De Windt gives a curious and amusing experience on a Russian railway some years ago. The patience of the Russians is in marked contrast with the impatience of Amer ican travellers. All Russians have a rooted antipathy to fast railway travel. if one may judge from an incident which occurred some years ago when I was travelling across the Caucasus from Batoum to Baku. We had reached a tunnel. at the entrance of which the train waited for at least twenty minutes
 There is something wrong." I re- marked to a fellow passenger.
 ''Oh. no." he replied: we are only making up the time This tunnel was recently made to avoid a long bend round range of hills. and as it now cuts of several miles short delay is necessary so as to it fn with the sched- uled time"
 'Rut surely we should save time by going on." urged
 Perhaps so." said my friend "But then. you gee. they would have to alter all the time tabies."

MAYOR AND TROLLEY
 OFFICIAL IN CONFERENCE
Agreement to Repair Ger tain Streets is Reached Fairfield Avenue
 to be Oiled.

Through a conference between the city officials and representatives of the Connecticut Co.,, arranged by Mayor Buckingham, several import ant improvements in the streets used by the trolley company were agreed upon by the company's agents.
 Mayor Buckingham took Superin- tendent Chapman and Superintendent of Tracks M. F. Stark of the com pany, with Director of Public Works M. A. Kenny to the various roadways in his automobile this morning. Att CT an examination of the defective roads, the company'S representatives promised to make much needed re- pairs near the East End barns, in Stratford avenue, from Florence ave nue to the Stratford line; an din the West End to Clinton avenue. This includes the portion of the road way included by the rails and two feet outside the outer rails.
 The representatives of the com pany sought to have the grade of Park avenue near the viaduct altered to conform to the grade established by the trolley, company. At present the street is somewhat higher than the trolley grade, and the double track work having been completed, it was unsatisfactory to have the tracks lying several inches lower than the surface of the street. The company's agreed to put the road in good shape and relay the curbs under the supervision of the director of public works.
 The oiling of Fairfield avenue will begin late today or tomorrow.

LAKE APPEARS TO HAVE THE
 UPPER HAND IN BRIDGEPORT
(Continued from. Page one.)

(Continued from Page One)
 What the Republican electors of the 12th district and there are upwards of 1.2oO of them take exception to is the nerve of these few men to arrogate to themselves the right to pick dele gate ticket for the Republicans of that district to vote at the primaries.
 eff their cause is just and they are not afraid to play their cards fair why didn't they get together like real the district, whoever he may be. call an open caucus to which all Republi- cans could be asked for the purpose of selecting men who would not be suspected of being guided ulterior mo- tiyes:
 of the district will be invited to an open caucus and there will be no prior stacking of the cards. The honest sentiment of the electors can be gained in no other way. We are sick and tired of thfss sort psd there was Republican caucus held of winch prior notice had been publicly given. The chairman of the district William B. Seeley presided. The dele gates selected were Malcolm Mac Fayden, Dr. G. Skiff Ford and William to be for Lake at least it is pretty generally understood that MacFayden and Ford are Lake men with MT. See- ley classed as doubtful Both of the factions of the party in this district were represented Alderman Gould be- ing much in evidence. MT. Gould said today that he is a Goodwin man and he could not say at this time whether there will be another delegate ticket in the first district or not.
 Elmer F. Havens has promised to deliver the East Side to Goodwin and he has undertaken a big contract ac- cording to the Lake men. They say that Elmer has a good start in the 10h district and that certain influ- ences in the same direction have got a start in the 12th but they expect that the 9th and 11th districts will swing into line for Lake and they may even dispute the Ravens control of the 10th district.
 John T. King who is the undisput- ed leader of the Goodwin forces in this county, has had several talks with his lieutenants lately, notably with MT. Ravens, and he is optimis- tic of the outcome in this city. He says be understands just what is do ing here and he expects that there will be some show of Lake strength but he feels that the Goodwin men will control the next local Republi- can convention.
 Tn Johns own district, the 4th, he expects to make fine showing for his candidate.

her own affairs.
 She has applied in the New York courts for the removal of Judge Banks representing herself as able to take care of her own affairs, and when the New York court refused to interfere on the ground that she is resident of Connecticut, she repeated her effort in this state. A hearing on her ap- plication for restoration to her rights will be herd before Judge Nobbs next Wednesday.
 Judge Banks of the Fairfield Pro- bate court would ordinarily preside over such a hearing, but because he is her conservator, he is disqualified and Judge Nobbs acts in his stead. The Osceola is now lying dismantled in a yacht basin in New York. It carries a crew of about 10 and when in operation is an expensive plaything for even one of Mrs. Curtis fortune.
