THAMEsVILLE TURBINE
 READY FOR SATURDAY.
Trolley Road Will Have Abundant Power Again-Repairs compIetsd- New Big Engine to Be Installed.

At the .Thamesville power station of the Connecticut company the electri- clans who have been rewinding the armatures that were burned out by heavy discharge of lightning through the 760 .ldlowatt generator, turbine driven, during the heavy electrical storm on the night of June 16, finished their work Tuesday night The re- paired generator gave satisfactory tests, and. allowing several days for the armature coils to dry out in order to be ready for steady work the unit will be able to take the load of trolley traffic on Saturday.
 During the past four weeks various makeshifts have been devised to keep the cars moving on schedule, and, con- sidering the handicaps, the attempts of the company at meeting the demands of the heavy riding have been remark ably successful There has been only small unit at Thamesville to supply power, the 300 kilowatt machine having broken down at the time of the emer- gency. This has been removed and the old engine is now outside the power station, on skids, and will be replaced by new equipment of the same capaci- ty, so that repetition of the trouble will not occur in the future.
 The small amount of power from Thamesville was supplemented by starting up the D, mt at South Wind ham, connecting | D with the power from the Putnam division over the high tension line, and by drawing on the Westerly road for additional power. FrpIl these sources sufficient power has been secured to maintain the reg ular schedule of cars and a certain number of extr4s, so that the incon- venisrce to the public from the break down has been reduced to the minimum under the circumstances

I have been on my farm in the Berk- shires for the last month and my only worry has been the lack of rain. am moot a candidate and will not be- come a candidate. You ask me if I would accept a nomination. In reply I would say, such a nomination at the hands of the republican party is an honor that any man would hesitate to refuse"
 Judge Robinson retired from the su- preme court about a year later than Governor Baldwin, having reached the age limit As judge for the last 20 years he has been entirely outside of politics, and therefore has no political enemies. His record on the bench equals that of Judge Baldwin He has no entangling alliances with any of the public service corporations. It is felt that he could get every repub- lican vote in the state and could draw from the democratic vote.

This continued dry spell has had its effect upon the water at the Scotland dam of the Uncas Power company, which for week now has been giving the city very little electricity. For 8 week now the big. new turbine at the city electric plant on North Main street has run without a stop, and has demonstrated that it is fully up to do what 1t is called upon to perform in supplying the electric fluid for the light and power that the city calls for.

HolU to Keep Face
 Young and Attractive
(National Hvgienlc Review)

The way to ward off old age is not to fear it, not to allow ones self to be oppressed by the dread of advancing years. Use only legitimate preven- lives and avoid trying experiments with preparations not indorsed by physicians. An entirely safe and very effective way to keep the complexion young locking and beautiful is to ap- ply ordinary mercolized wax at bed- time using it like cold cream, wash ing it of in the morning. This grad ually absorbs the w.thered. faded cut icle. which is replaced by the more youthful, pink tinted underskin. One ounce of this wax. to be had at any drug store, is enough to completely rejuvenate a worn-out complexion.
 Wrinkles and 1abhiness of cheek and chin, the first signs of advancing age, may be lessened by a simple, harmless preparation made by dis solving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a balf pint witch hazel It Is used sas a face hath

TROLLEY DID QUICK
 JOB OF MOVING.
Heavy Derrick Shifted from Rose Place to Water Street in Fast Time.

An instance of the modern way of doing things, helped out by native in- genuity, was shown by Inspector Reu- ben Ladd of the Connecticut company, when he coupled on a trolley car to the derrick as it was being moved from the abandoned municipal wall to the site of J. B. Shannon's proposed building, on Water street, Wednesday afternoon. The heavy hoisting engine and derrick were on skids, and by us- ing trolley power Inspector Ladd had them switched around on to Shetuck- ct street in about three minutes. It was a job that by the old-fashioned methods would have used up a good part of the afternoon. On Shetucket street the apparatus stuck, but it was moved to the side street in time to avoid blocking all but one Laurel Hill car at G.15.
 The Work on the municipal wall at the wharf at the foot of Rose alley was discontinued because of the ex- pense, a special appropriation being necessary to complete the work of inn provement. The wharf to be built there for aunehes and small craft in general will be built as soon as the government gives its sanction to the work.
