LINCOLN DELIGHTS
 LOCAL ART LEAGUE
1ttlaor of Charming and Witty a'oeisl> aud Stories Gives sesseiiEsgs From His Own Works.

The rareghunlor which characterizes
 Joseph c. .Linco1n's stories and poems
 and which has made his name a household word. was brought out in it's most delightful form when MT. IincoIn himselef read some of his best selections before the members of the Bridgeport Art League at the Strat= field Hotel yesterday afternoon. The fair sized audience which had grasped the unusual opportunity of hearing this charming author, spent one of the most enjoyable afternoons of their experience, for the abounding humor of the poems and story, brought out in the way it was intended to sound. kept them in continuous laughter throughout the lecture. MT. Lincoln's first selections were fom the Cape Cod Ballads. ''The Best Spare Room 9 teWhen the Minis Sisters Best FeIler,'' "The Cuckoo Clock" His New Brother t'The Parlor,'' 't-The Opera,'' t"The Thanks giving Dream and what Mrs. Lin coin calls his truest to nature poem, When Papa's Sick' As a prose se- Pair of Shoes. . Not only have MT. Linco1n's writing hurnor, but they abound with human nature. He is quite a student of boy nature and be- sides his Cape God chronicles, has written many poems from the boys side of life, which are particularly i'm teresting and amusing.
 Prefacing his readings, MT. Lincoln said that most of the old "cap'n ns'' are gone now from Cape Cod, which in the old days used to be thick with them. There are only a few of them left, and consequently there are only a few characters left, but there are very few of these still to be found there.

He was given authority to use 1t in obtaining credit for the men to get the articles they desire Authority was given to hire man to work on the tnstitution's new piggery.

WHITE WAY PLAN APPROVED BY VOTE
 OF IS TO EIGHT
Democrats Register Protest At Proposal But Their Wishes
 Are OVer-ruled.
U. I. Co. To Furnish Lights and Current-Merchants
 To Pay Nothing.

Despite the objections of eight Dem ocratic aldermen last night, the conl-
 mon council voted to establish the White Way" which has long been in the works, and 92 electric street lights
 to cost $8O per year will be installed.
 The White Way will be in Main
 street from Congress street to State
 street and in Fairfield avenue from
 Broad street to the railroad station
 in State street.
 When the report of the lamps com
 mittee was read recommending that it's
 members be given power to make a contract with the United Illuminating company, Alderman Clancy objected and asked the resolution be laid on the table until the members of the coun- Gil have more time to consider it. The mayor said he did not think the mo ton ought to prevail as the White Way was needed before the holidays
 Alderman Casey seconded Alderman C1ancy's motion declaring as he did so that the aldermen ought to know what sort of a contract was to be made Alderman Moran also thought members of the council should know all about the contract before the mat ter was put to vote.
 Alderman Stagg told the board that the United Illuminating company had agreed to assume all the cost of i'm sta1Iations including relayfng the pavement, that 92 lights would be used to replace about 62 in the same territory, and that the cost would be $50 per year with a ten; year contract which may be aibrogated at the end of five years. If the contract runs the full term the cost is to be $78.17 per light. The full cost will be more than $70,00O for the +'Whfte Way If the contract runs its full term
 The White Way commission con- sisted of c. D. Davis, Percy Anderson and Alderman Stagg. They had can vassed the merchants and a number of them had agreed to pay part of the cost of the installation Of the lamps They will not be asked to pay any thing under the agreement which the lamps committee will make with the lighting company.
 Alderman Stagg said after the council meeting last might that if the contract prevailed the illuminating
 company had agreed to reduce the present price per year of s67. 50 on the S16 arc lights at present in use in the city to $65. 70 each per year.
 On a, yea and nay vote. the mayor decided the resolution of the lamps committee adopted. Alderman Moran doubted the vote and on the rising vote Aldermen MacF'ayden, Stagg, Walker, Olson, Moorey, Callahan, Meazey De Izaney Miller, Primrose, Stiegter, Cole Whitney Broderick Reddy and Kearns voted for the resolution. Aldermen Moran, McHugh, Lav9r, Casey, Voos, Cougflin, Clancy and Un1Statter voted against it.
