CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP
 FOR NORTHERN WISCONSIN President Fenenga Tells of Northland Colleges Work in the Pine CIearinas.

At the Broadway Congregational church Sunday morning, Rev. M. J. Fenenga, president of Northland col lege, Ashland, Wis, told an interested congregation something of the work of the enly institution of its kind in an area larger than New England. This Lake Superior region, Rev. MT. Fenenga pointed out, was formerly covered by immense pine forests, 96 per cent. of which have been entirely cut over, leaving only the stumps and slashings. The soil is rich, but the labor of clearing it requires a strength and patience which few possess. Fin nish, Russian and Polish peasants, vic tims of persecution who have made untold and unavailing sacrifices for liberty, are the newcomers there, and, with sympathetic guidance, they are full of promise.
 The college at Ashland is besieged by more applicants than it has means to care for. Industrial employment of various sorts has to be provided to make their education possible, for 80 per cent. of the students work their own way entirely and the remainder in part. To the men and women who make these sacrifices, the scattered i communities look for leadership in | their neW-found freedom. That it shall be Christian as well as intelli- gent is of evident importance. l MT. Fenenga spoke also at Norwich Town at the Sunday school hour and in the evening.

Aid for Wisconsin collsne.

The Sunday school of the First Con- gregational church was favored Sun day with a short address from Rev. M. J. Fenenga of Northland college. Ashland, Wis. The pastor presented him a check for s26 from the chfl- dren of the Sunday school for the work of the college. In acknowledging the contribution, Mir Fenenga said: The work is our work here and Gods work as well as mine. There are 80 Russian settlements from which stu dents come to this college, settlements where money is almost wanting, but where there is abundance of hard work and poverty. These students are working their way through a college where now winter and snow have come to stay until May and where the thermometer reaches 52 degrees below zero. He asked these young men how many were willing to give their lives to battling for the right and to the overthrow of wrong. One hundred and twenty young men stood shoulder to shoulder as they gave their pledge. The speaker said: You could not do that in a college surrounded with lux ury. In the far flung battle line for right we are all serving the same Mas | ter"

PUSHING WORK ON
 CONNECTICUT RIVER BRIDGE
Steel for the Draw Has Arrived al
 East Haddam.

The new highway bridge crossing the Connecticut river at East Haddam is rapidly taking form. The west span has been lifted from the false work and is now self-sustaining, and the work of riveting the parts is pro gressing rapidly. Prior to this the irenwork is held together by bolts only. The piers have been ready for the superstructure some time. Work on erecting the draw will begin at once, about 300 tons of the steelWork having arrived in barges.
 The approaches to the bridge on both sides of the river are practically complete, the grading on the west side having been finished and the guard rail at the edges of the embankment in place. Twenty-one thousand cubic yards of earth were required for the filling. The firm having the contract used steam shovel in the work. Two small hills were removed, a gully filled and the highway just west of the East Haddam railroad station was strengthened and graded, making an easy grade and affording a better view of the railroad track for approa ching vehicles. The whole represents an enormous amount of work and has been pushed steadily by the members of the bridge commission, Messrs. Pur- pie, Tyler and Caldwell, and under the intelligent and energetic supervision oi Chief Engineer Bush.
 The east approach to the bridge was completed weeks ago.
 It had been hoped by the commits sion to open the bridge for traffic early in December, but the prospect is that it will be delayed a few weeks | East Haddam and Moodus people will be pleased if they do not have to use the ice bridge and ferryboat this win 1 ter.

REFUSES TO RATIFY
 BOSS FACTORY SALE
u. S. Court Will Not Confirm Auction
 of New London Plant.

The United States court has refused to confirm the sale of the c. D. Boss & Son factory in New London, to Err nest Rogers. which was made by J. E. Conant & Co. of Lowell last month. MT. Rogers bid $15,000 for the property and Boston buyer was also a bidder. The property was knocked down to MT. Rogers. but now it appears that the sale will not be ratified.
 It is understood that there were mortgages on the property which were not satisfied and for this reason the sale will not be ratified.
 The Savings Bank of New London has begun a suit of foreclosure against the receiver, c. W. Wickersham, and the property is likely to be offered for sale again.
