that they were heartless because they
would drive the owners Of packets
out of business and would destroy the
stagecoach lines. In some cases the
opposition was really threatening.
"The most serious obstacle, how
ever. came from several of the larger
towns along the proposed line of rail-
road. They would not permit the road
TO be built through those towns and
they relied upon injunctions and other
methods to prevent this being done
There was the town of Norwalk, one
OF the fourishing communities IN
southern Connecticut. which would
not permit the railroad to run through
the town, so it was necessary to To-
cate Il two or three miles south OF
that village, the line running through
region that was very sparsely set
tied. There was also Stamford, which
also was prepared to resist the build
ing Of the road through the town. II
was necessary, therefore, 70 locate IL
some distance from the center of the
town.
after overcoming many difficulties,
the road was built. And as a result
large and flourishing villages-in one
case a city. South Norwalk-were due
entirely to the construction Of this
! line. whereas the older towns that
would not permit it to 90 through be-
( came stagnant.
"Of course the stagecoach lines dis
appeared, as the turnpike and tollgats
did, but the packet lines which navi-
! gated the Sound we're not destroyed
because it was learned they could
carry some kinds Of freight at les:
cost than the railroad. Nowadays. hav
ing been taught by experience, com.
munities are only too glad TO have q
railroad built right through them"

Some Towns That Did
Not Want Railroads
By Holland

In chat which I had with the late
William D. Bishop at time when he
was making a brief soiourn in Wash
ington, in the early part Of President
Arthur's administration, he spoke. to
me Of the very interesting and impor-
tant object lesson which is contained
in the building and operation of the
New Haven Railroad line. That road
was conceived by Mr. Bishops father.
lie was a citizen of Bridgeport, then a
very small town. He was persuaded
that the time had comet was in 1S4S
or Decentralization New York city
and New Haven should be connected
by railroad. The least difficult part
OF the proposition was the obtaining
of charter from tho Legislature,
That was trivial matter in compare
son with some of the other difficulties
which it was necessary to surmount.
There had been for many years.
said Mr.. Bishop, "a prosperous stage
coach line between New York apd New
Haven, and this was part OF the
through mail coach line between New
York and Boston. The stagecoach busi-
ness had been somewhat impaired by
the operation of steamboats, through
Long Island Sound but there were
still some that ilourished In addition

New York shore Of Long Island Sount
maintained either packet lines operat

Rising CHURCH SAYS HIS Ian is A SUCCESS

| OF the most beautiful things We do.
You know a poor woman who has lit
tie children can't take care Of them
through the day and work for a liv-
ing too. So she brings them around
to the playground, where they are
taken care OF till she comes for them
ut night. 1t is only the very little
ones that we can take because we
have no more room, but we do what
we can. We had 1000 of them or the
playground last season.
Then we have various departments
Of womsn's work. In one the young
women are taught basket weaving
In another they are taught how to
trim hats. They get a ten cent frame
and some trimming, and when they
get through they have each a hat that
would cost them perhaps SO or 81.
And 1t belongs to them.
Then we have club rooms for the
boys where they can come and play
games instead of going to the booze
joints. And all this is to try to make
them look on the church as a home.
That is the one feature We try to ad-
vertise the most.

Then we have Boy Scouts in cos
