There was a 1o discussion over the matter, several co tractors desiring the job of construc- tion. 1t was finally decided by the com- pany to award the contract to the Ahern brothers of this city, which was done and the contract awarded. This is for the forty miles of road between this city and Hartford, making a means of getting to the capital much shorter than by raflroad. This an- nouncement will be heard with great interest not only by those residing along the line of the road but by the people in the cities at each end. Work will be commenced on the Hartford end and will start next Thursday, Sept. 1st. Tha efforts will be directed towards getting the first Ahern Brothers Will Begin-Work on the Hartford End to ten miles of the road in operation first, that being from Hartford to East Glas- tonbury. Work will continue on this throughout the winter and as soon as that is completed and in operation, or possibly sooner, work is to be started on this end of the line. when the stretch from here to Colchester will be built, and then from Colchester to East Glasionbury. One of the officials of the road stated on Thursday that it was the intention to keep steadily at the construction work until the road is completzd its entire length. The contractors are well known here, baving been engaged for the past sev eral years in building roads hereabouts, while they have also had contracts with the Ontario and Western and with the New York Central. It is uncertain how long it will take to complete the road its entire length. The survey has been ready for some time, the enginzers having covered the route a number of times perfecting their plans. SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF WEDDING OBSERVED and Mrs. Poli Have Big Affair in italy. New Haven—Native of Mr. The twenty-fifth marriage anniver- sary of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Z. Poli was celebrated at their attractive home on Howe street, New Haven, Thursday eveninz Over 400 acceptances were received, and guests were present from Wilkes-Barre, Scranton. Jersey City, New York, Chicazo. Detroit. Buffalo, Worcester,” Springfield. Hartford, New Orleans, Meriden and Bridgeport. The reception, w Haven. The spacious Howe street home and srounds are admirably adapted for such an affair. A huge 100 foot tent was spread over the grounds under which the guests sat down to a dinner at 6 o'clock. Myriads of in- candescent lamps_ hidden in Japanese lanterns decorated the front and back gardens and in the summer house at SYLVESTER Z. POLI the rear the orchestra played during dinner. The menu cards and pro- gramnies in combination were of Yale blue with silver inscription, 1885-1910, and the Poli monogram. A huge wed- ding cake, 52 inches high, adorned the table of the bride and groom of 25 years ago. The bridal cake, in silver boxes, was distributed among the guests. In the receiving party were the fam- of Mr. and Mrs. Poli, with Mr. and Mrs, James E. McGann and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fresenius. The bridesmaid, Mrs, S. Nervoine, sister of Mrs. Poli, was present from Chicago, and ass ed in the receiving party. Mr. and Mrs. Poli have five children, three younger ones who are yet at school. and Miss Adeline, a_graduate of the Sacred Heart academy and Phelps school in Wallingford, and Edward Poli, a stu- dent at the Bordentown military in- stitution. Mr. Poli is a native of Prica, Italy, and came to this country from Paris in 1881. He came to this country to enter the employ of the famous Eden Musee in New York, where he made the wax figures and groupings that won for that resort a place of national reputation, He had learned the art of wax working in his native Italy, hav- ing attended the leading art schools of Venice, Naples and Rome, and it is said that he was recognized as the pre- mier wax modeler in Paris and Berlin previous to coming to this country. At the time of the famous Haymark- et riots in Chicago he made was fig- ures of the condemned anarchists and they were later exhibited throughout the country. He also made the figures of President Garfield and the assassin Guiteau, which attracted a world of at- tention at the Eden Musee for several vear: While engaged in exhibiting the fig- ures of the anarchists he became im- bued with the idea of entering the theatrical business as a manager and formed an_alliance with J. R. Robin- son of Buffalo, who was interested in numerous theaters. Later he cecided to go it alone and made a modest start in New Haven. His success was in- stantaneous and complete, and every venture that he has made since has proved highly successful. In fact, his career has been a unique one in this respect. At the outset he determined that he would secure the public confi- dence wherever he was located and once it was inspired he never has let down the bars in this regard. Besides the theater here he has three theaters in New Haven. three in Wa- terbury and two in Springfield, Bridge- port and Hartford, as well as’ theaters in Meriden, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Jersey City and Worcester.

Writes Lengthy Communication to the Central Labor Union of Hartford. An Open Letter to the Hartford Cen- tral Labor Union: THrough the mail there has come to me a set of resolutions acopted by you August 3, 1910, together with a circular letter dated August 10, the lat- ter addressed “Fo Organized Labor of Connecticut. The fact that the last of the resolu- tions includes an instruction to your secretary “to communicate with can- didates and request a statement of their attitude” on certain bills men- tioned in the preamble, leads me to believe that you intend that I should respond, as a candidate. Ordinarily, as a lawver, I give ad- vice for a consideration. ~During the vacation perfod I am also engaged professor of democracy in the Thayer summer school of politics, through correspondence.

The laborers con- stitute the plain people whom Lincoin loved: and I love them, too, in spite of their apparent inclination to vote and act constantly agalnst their own interests.

But that association will not be fooled so easily by the wily politician as the latter thinks; and T am going to put you wise to the game, alsp. The whole bunch are out to do the utilities bill. Doesn't seem so, do you say? Well hear me. Do you find one of them that walks right up to the dough dish and eats from it with relish, as If he was right hungry for public utilities dough? Or does he just eye the feed and walk around the dish. like those ducklings that the old hen hatched used to do when their crops were full of rose bugs? Read their replies over, once more. See how they smooth the bu: iness men's fur the right way for a while to get them into a purring. re- ceptive mood, and then how they show them that here is a wrinkle that ought 1o be smoothed out and there a tuck to be put into the bill. Of course, they all want a public utilities bill— awfully—but they don’t want it like the bill in sight. Ah, they want to get the bill into one of those legislative committees that chew their cuds from January to July, where the untagged lobbyist can puf those tucks in and iron those wrinkles out to please the public service corporations. The busi- ness men are too old birds to be caught with the lobbyist chaff, if you are not; and don’t you see that these wrinkles and tucks are being talked about thus early just to get vou and the business men used to medicine, 50 it won't taste so bad when they force it down your throat at the end of the legislative session?
