R. l.. she has issued the following declaration: "I have left MT. Godfrey FOR EVER. It is a case of tncompatibility- I do not intend to return to Bridgeport at any time" :" she said today.
 After such a statement she was re- minded of the heart aches and suffer ing MT.

The sensation incidental to the affair is not pleasant but it can't be helped" But all the time the handsome elderly master of the palacial Oaks" dn Brooklawn park is relying upon tfe power of his deep unselfish love to bling his darling back to him.

Spring Perch Co. Affr1ns Business
 Growing Better

While no additional people are be- ing employed at the present time at the plant of the Spring Perch com pany, now located in Stratford. busi- ness has improved with this factory to a sufficient extent that for those who are on the payroll the working week has been extended by a number of hours.
 An official of the company stated this morning that he firmly believed that the turning point was really here at this time, that the slightly increas- ed working schedule was permanent, and a step in the right direction IL was given as an opinion that the inn provement would be steady. though probably not rapid However,. if every plant in Bridgeport and vicinity can increase its working hours. even a few per week. the effect would be gem orally falt tunmadiaxa1x.

80 Streets To Be Paved
 This Summer

With ssoo.ooO available for road work after April 1. it was said today that approximately 80 streets will re- ceive permanent pavement this sum mer The improvements will be dlV1d- ed up as evenly as possible between the various districts, and it is expect ed that the entire project will be car ried out by the city, using city em- ployes to furnish the labor. If this plan is finally adopted, it will do away with all contracts and bidding.
 The pavement which will be iald will probably be a form of macadam, guaranteed for 20 years and costing about 50 per cent Jess than Warren1te. The money at hand for this work in cludes $20O,O00 appropriated for streets and sidewalks. and s7oO,0o for the unemployment fund.
 A preliminary survey of road 1n- provements needed in the Third d1s- trict was made yesterday by Alder man Eugene c. J. Kelly, Frank War go, City Treasurer John H. Williams and Assistant Tax Collector Kenneth J. Griffin. Seabright avenue, Ellsworth street and Seaview terrace were found to be greatly in need of repairs, and it is possible that the first two streets will receive attention very soon. Sea- view terrace has not yet been accept ed as a city street.

 Patient For a Year.
 The woman is Mrs. Anna Lymber- roplas, 27, wife of a Polish Iaborer, tion for year, following the birth of a child.
 Throughout the night her screams and singing kept the other inmates of the government asylum in a turmoil
 When dawn came this morning she was still perched on a swaying limb sixty feet above the ground making faces at the non-plussed officers be- low.
 Because of the character Nof the ravine, the hremen have been unable to spread their life net to save the woman should she fall or jump.
 She Likes It.
 Annie remained deaf to every en- treaty to come down throughout ths night. She said she liked it up there and was going to stay. At eight o'clock this morning she had been on her precarious roost for nearly 14 hours, and the perplexed rescuers were fearful that her strength might wane and she would be dashed to the ground.
 Annie come down. pleaded the superintendent
 No" said Annie decisive1y, mot unless I get some ice cream
 Wanted Ice Cream.
 The ice cream was hurrfedly brought but by the time it arrived Annie had decided she did not want it.
 I'll come down if you'n get my husband said Annie then.
 The husband was summoned. but he was so long coming that Annie changed her mind again, and demand ed her baby
 The woman escaped from the asy- lum proper shortly after six o'clock last night by breaking the glass in a bathroom window. With the guards in full pursuit she scampered through the grounds and climbed the tree where she has since remained deaf to every entreaty to come down.
 Hoping that she might come down on the sight of her fifteen months old baby. hospital officials despatched an automobile for the child

An usher, who tried to persuade the dog by kindly methods that it was out of place and tried to escort the canine to the door, met with opposition. The dog. evidently was satisfied with the religious atmosphere and charmed by the music, and exuded series of barkS in voic- ing its objections to being evicted. However, the dog was ''chassed,' without seriously interrupting the service.

 Mrs. Barker lived at 13S Railroad avenue and her siSter-in-law, Emma Barker at 140. The latter heard cries, she said, but did not investigate as she says that MT. and Mrs. Barker had had many quarrels during the past three months and she attributed the cries to a dispute in the family.
