 to tell in the superior court what he
 knew of bad sidewalks m New London
 in a damage suit brought against the
 city for damages sustained by a wom-
 an who was injured by reason of a
 defective sidewalk when MT. Arm
 strong was New LOndon's chief magls-
 u ate. The jury healed the injuries by a $2.700 plaster. The ex-mayor told
 of the difficulties he had in getting the then highway commissioner to per form his duty as interpreted by the mayor. He testified that the sidewalks V ere certainly in bad condition. that claims for damages were numerous, anG that as a result, and after a bitter
 fight in the court of common council, he finally managed to depose the high way commissioner, and that then the sidewalks received more attention. He testified that there was great need for Letter sidewalks al that time and that III the winter time they were not prop erly cleared from snow and ice.
 If the present mayor of New London was called into court to testify as to the condition of the sidewalks at the present time his evidence would not aid the seeker of damages for alleged injuries in a similar case, as there is To city hereabouts that has as good sidewalks as New London, which is due to Mayor Mahan'S plan of prOgres- sion. He. like Mayor Armstrong, real ized that an improvement was needed iE sidewalks, but he did not put the IFS III lO li1S DtSUNdX com missioner. No. Mayor Mahan went at it in the effective, if not the way that would have been approved by Mr. Armstrong, and succeeded. MT. Nahan had his opponents, and some very strong ones, in his progressiveness and aggressiveness in the sidewalk mat ter but he persisted and won. and the improved sidewalks were realized.
 When MT. Armstrong was mayor almost every progressive movement he right or wrong, was bitter ly opposed, and nearly all his plans were defeated. Tn many instances MT. Mahan was lined up in the van in op- position to Mayor Armstrong and his ideas of public management of MT. business administration. which was alleged to be conservative and safe. Naturally when Mayor Ma han commenced his progressive work for what he believed to be for the ad- of the city, Mir Armstrong was not his strongest supporter The two administrations were radically in to each other. and at pres ent Mir. Mahan's seems to have been -he most successful. But in the words )f an editor of a local neWspa per used to put it many years ago: Wait and see"

THE WHITE SISTER AT PoLls,.
Viola Aliens Wonderful Dramatic Suo-
 cess -Cor1es Next.

The White Sister, to be present. ed at Polls. is one of the biggest and most important things they have at tempted. It deals with one of the most powerful and telling subjects possible, and cannot fail to create a positive sensation here, as it has everywhere else. The play is 8. dramatization of the late r. Marion Ora wford's famous novel of the same name, and some idea of its importance and the strength of it's characters may be gained from the fact that in addition to Miss Viola Allen in the title role. such distinguish cd players as William Farnum and James O'Nei11 were engaged to play red spectively the leading male role and that Of the priest. It is religious in tone and atmosphere, vet powerfully dramatic throughout, and with the company as now constituted should be not only a success, but a. positive sen- sstfon.
 The title role. that of the White Sis tar, is g tremendous and compelling characterization, and moves through s series of the most surprising situa- tions ever given to the modern stage. The Sister, overwhelmed by her great love for g man, sacrifices every human earthly feeling~for the vows of the church. is tempted, coerced, coaxed, tricked and finally forced to the very point of yielding to her lover yet her purity, goodness, and faith sustain her to a triumphant victory for the church T. is play that cannot be adequate E deScr1bed- IL must De seen.
 Miss Victoria Montgomery in Miss Aliens original part will have one Of the greatest roles of her career. and all who have seen her in emotional and dramatic roles can realize in ad- vance with what cleverness she will portray the character. Mir. Moore will play the opposite male role one that will call for the best that he has in him, and that along lines that he has already shown himself unusually fitted i for
 The play will also introduce a wom- an new to this city, Miss Katherine | Clinton, who will have the powerful l second Woman's part
