A<O4&AD4lcAH POAutS OH HOW 10 I6llS8 $100, 600 in ten days for such a. deserv ing purpose as the establishment of Woman's college, the only one in the state, in the city of New London. + Is q great undertaking. but great things have been done in New Lon
 The project is of so much local in- teret that each day at specified timo the amount collected will be announc- ed to the anxious public by the fire alarm service. which includes the whistles and the bells, and will also be recorded on the ticker in the en zine houses. Colin s. Buen, principal. of the Williams Memorial institute, a gentleman always active tn public af- fairs and who was instrumental in getting New london selected as the site for the college condftionally, is chairman of the general committee, and he will be axsistend by really some of the most representative assist ants, including leading business men, The exact plan of procedure is care- fully guarded at this tima but will be sprung upon tho New London public before sunset of Saturday. By those who are unable to contribute to the college fund, their best wishes are earnestly extended the enthusiastic and earnest workers.
 The troubles Of Now London over the proposed issuance of bonds for docent sidewalks was given an airing again Thursday afternoon in Hartford at a legislative hearing, and as usual with Mayor Mahan as the leader of the progressive movement and ex-Gov. Waller in opposition. It was the same old oats tl7feshed in the same old way and was not lacking in the cus- tomary personalities that are ofttines substituted for argument. Mayor Ma a<-k< +l~s will be decided direct by the people and therefore it is safe to assume that the legislature will grant the permis- sion to tssuo the bonds for the side walk improvement with the important referendum rider attached. It also position, for when a matter that eff fects the whole people is to be decid- ed finally by the people it is rare in deed when that privilege is denied, even by 2 Connecticut legislature.
 One Of the xery first political set he had just reached the age of . voter in democratic caucus in old Aborn hall when the hoy voter had the nerve to stand right up in Opposition to a move of Thomas M. Waller, then in the full viEor of his manhood and yielding power that no man ever did with his party, except perhaps, the present Mayor Mahan. Since then these expert politicians have been. at times, political friends and enemies. as the case might be. They have often been on the ins and the outs and just at the present time they are on the outs, and the mayor senator is out to win. Not for the purpose of de- feating Mr. Waller, who is easily one of the best known citizens of the state and with national reputation, but for what he believes to be best for his native city and in which he is the heaviest taxpayer.
