Women Good Marchers.

The leader of the Wheeler and Wilson band, of Bridgeport, which led the Con- necticut division in the big suffrage pa- rade in New York, is quoted in saying:
 The suffragists were first class para ders--they are just as good marchers as the average body of men and we were pleased to have been honored by being selected to play for the Connecticut dele gation in the New York pageant. We were surprised, as we'll as greatly peased, at the number and fervor of the women who congratulated us on our musical ef- forts. Most men seem forgetful of prais- ing the bands and I suppose it is because that mems processions are so common place With the women it was some what of a novelty and this may perhaps have been the reason why they so keenly appreciated the music"

The New Haven Road.


 The New Haven Road has struck a new method of bringing itself before the public. It has adopted as a rule, the saying of Theodore the Great, that pub. licity is a good and only thing, and so proceeds to let the dear people in on the prospects, if not the dividends. And It is a case of the old hymn, Where every prospect pleases, and only man is vile.''
 Certainly the prospect Incorporation, of mutual assistance is highly desirable. That vast railroad system cannot do without patronage. any more than the people can get along without the rail- road, is what might be termed truism, that has nothing in it very spark ling as to wit or intelligence.
 We sincerely hope that every effort of the New Haven will be seconded hear tily by the people. We trust that the public will rise up in a sympathetic spirit, forego it's criticisms and deal, as it would be dealt by. After all is said nothing can be gained from hostile at titude toward the New Haven corpora tion.
 Too often are the plans of great cor poration misunderstood. Too often does the public only see its own particular in- terests through it's own spectacles and is forgetful of the many and varied inter ests, plans, proposals of a great corpora tion.-Warren, R. l., Gazette.

Mrs. Camp Joins,

Mrs. Jennie Camp is again manifest ing her right to membership in the Push ahead Club, by having fine broad ce- ment walk built in front of her store property-the Farnum Drug Store. The work is being done under the superyis- ion of contractor E. k. Lorraine, and the result is one of the best pieces of cement walk in the village. This will not only add greatly to the appearance Of the store, which was equipped with a new glass front last fall, but will largely en- nance the value of the property, to say nothing of adding to the comfort of pe- destrians either passing the store, or " dropping in."
 Mrs. Camp having thus set lauda ble example, who'll be the next to follow suit?

TEARING DOWN THE BRIDGE
Work has Begun on the Power Plant
 Dam at Falls Village.

WOrk mas begun on Ine TOW6T Tidilt
 Dam at Falls Village.
 At the big construction works of the Connecticut Power Company in Falls Village progress is making rapidly. There are $50 men now at work.
 Excavations are now being made on the west side of the river for the anchor age of the dam, which is to be located just north of the old railroad bridge at Amesville. This bridge is now being torn down. The dam will extend across the river and will be about three feet higher than the present abutments of the bridge, which will raise the surface of the r1ver about 15 feet above it's pres mt level below the little falls north of the bridge, and bring the surface up to about the same level as prevails above the little falls. Thus the little falls will go out of existence. This raising of the water level at that spot, it IS stated. will flood no lands except those owned by the company on the rivers edge.
 The inside of the old canal is rapidly being prepared for it's concrete lining and the two-foot-gauge railway along the top of the west bank is nearing com pletion. On this narrow gauge track there will be placed two 10-ton "dinky" locomotives to propel the dump-cars that will transport the concrete and other material from the mixers to every part of the canal.
 At the site of the power house itself work is progressing with great strides. Tn rotterdam is approaching it's finish, and when it is completed the water be- hind it will be pumped out to afford op- portunIty for the workmen to sink the foundation of the building to a depth OF about 30 feet below the river bottom. When the foundation is laid and the wheel-pit installed, the cofferdam will be torn away and the water will be led to the wheel-pit, underneath the build ing, for giving energy to the dynamos, etc.
 All along the canal, and from the dam-site to the plant site, there is end less activity, in which hundreds of men, dozens of teams and numerous engines, pumps, drills and other machinery are doing their part in bringing the great work to completion.

The Cornwall Chorus.

On Tuesday evening the First Church audience that has attended the concerts of the chorus. Many came by automo- bile from adjoining towns, especially from Norfolk but also from Sharon. Winsted and other near neighbors and few came from more distant places like Hartford and New Haven. The pro- gram consisted of Hiawatha music by the chorus, finely accompanied by the nine. members of the Boston Festival Orchestral Club and Miss Hodsdon, the pianist of the chorus They were as- sisted by soloists, Miss Edmond soprano, for her third year with us, delightful as ever MT. Steele, tenor and MT. Mo Ardle, bass, the two gentlemen new to us and very satisfactory.
 The last part of the program began with solo by MT. Steele who responded to turnultuous applause by singing, 'tIn the Time of Roses.' A string quartet gave variations on Haydn's Austrian Hymn with delicacy of rendering. Miss Edmond and MT. Steele sang "Dear Love of Mine" so effectively that some of the orchestra were seen wiping their eyes and the audience was thrilled. The final number was the finely render ed overture to LeCaid.
 During the year the chorus has made great improvement under MT. Perry and the concert was accordingly we'll above previous standards. Perhaps the special excellence to be noted is quality of tone superior to the average in small towns, but the performance was good as a whole rather than in any particular parts. The musicians present were very hearty in their commentators and fur nished enough taffy to live on until next year. Mir. Steele was surely the best tenor the chorus has had. MT. Perry, Miss Edmond and the Orchestral Club already seem to have been adopted as part of their own selves. May another seasons work prove as much of an ad- vance on this US each has thus far been ppon the preceding.

AROUND THE STACKS
Lively Colony of Laborers at the Conn. Power Co.'S. Works.

Power Co.'S. Works.
 A visit to the construction "campsn of the workmen employed in the building of the big power house, dam and canal of the Connecticut Power Company at
 Falls Village affords an interesting ex- perience. There are two camps a few hundred yards apart. one of which is termed the white" camp, and the other the ordinary laborers' camp, occupied by the Italian workmen whose mode of liv- ing is widely different from that of the foremen, bosses. carpenters and other skilled labor who are domiciled in the
 white camp. ..
 In the white camp is a group of five
 buildings-temporary shacks made com. fortable and home-like-on pleasant grounds near the bank of the river. The eating house, or "hotel." is perhaps the most interesting building iu the group.
 This building is equipped with all the cooking paraphernalia of an ordinary
 hotel large range with ovens, hot and cold water supply, larders, pantries, coolers. etc. This establishment is in charge of Mir. K. B. Ball, an experienced hotel man, of Boston, and his capable lieutenant Thomas Shaw, who has been chef in the Stone 6 Webster camps in the West. The kitchen of the eating house is as completely equipped and as neatly kept as that of any big residence or hotel, and the meals are served to the eighty odd boarders with the same dis patch and in as great variety as could be expected in any boarding house. There is different bill of fare for each day, including desserts. Last Thursday, for instance when the camp was visited, "boiled New England dinner" was being prepared, consisting of 20 heads of cabbage, busheI each of turnips and carrots, half-bushel parsnips, 125 pounds corned beef, l2 gallons coffee, six quarts tea, 12 apple pies, l2 peach pies, l6 quarts bread and butter custard pud- ding. This is specimen of one days dinner. and every boarder is served an abundance. Hot biscuit are served night and morning with breakfast and supper. Twice week griddle-cakes are served at breakfast, and twice a week doughnuts with supper. They have cake and sauce each night. This substantial and appetizing fare is fur nished to employees at nominal price per week, and Manager Ball proudly says, You can't beat it at any hotel"
 The sleeping quarters are capacious, clean, we'll ventilated and we'll cared for, the grounds are kept clean and wholesome and there is an atmosphere of comfort and independence about the place that is attractive. The men sleep on iron bedsteads with comfortable mat tresses and bed-clothes, and some of the foremen have each room to himself. The buildings are protected against fire, by a fire hose leading from the mons trous wooden tank near the falls, which gives a pressure sufficient to send a two inch stream 100 feet into the air.
 At the Italians camp the same order and cleanliness are insisted upon, The sleeping houses are equipped with iron bedsteads with present capacity for over 200 men. The men, instead of eating at a common

 If sufficient number of women and girls can be engaged to warrant it. a concern manufacturing knit undergar- ments may decide to locate Ill Canaan, according to representations made by an agent of the New England Lines Indus trial Bureau, to President Holsapple, of the Canaan Business Mems Assoclation. MT.
