g WESTERLY’S NEW RAILROAD STATION. rkadiel b AR WORK RESUMED ON THE MAJESTIC Forms Being Built For The Concrete Work—Addition To Brocklyn Outfitters Block—Comfort Station at Lake Street Grounds. The concrete work on the floors of the new building for James B. Shan- mon at the corner of Shetucket and Little Water streets has been com- menced this week in the Davis and Kinney section, with a frontage of 60 feet on Little Water street. The forms are being placed and with the pouring of concrete for one floor the superstructure will be corresponding- 1y raised in this lower section of the building, after which attention will be given to the remainder. The buff brick, the non-arrival of which has caused much of the delay, has at length reached here from Indiana and at the same time a score of men who have been at work for Mr. Shannon at Ocean Beach have finished there and have begun work here, Mr, Shannon’'s handsome cottage at Neptune Park, Ocean Beach has been entirely finished and is now occupied by his family. Playground Buildings. At the Lake Street playgrounds, which are not adjacent to a school as are the others, two comfort stations are to be built and work on them was started on Monday morning. They will be ready for use in about two weeks’' time. E. D. Howard has the contract for the carpenter work, while HANDICAPPED This is the Case With Many Norwich People. Too many Norwich citizens are handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifring an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest, and in the morning is st and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back-4 ache you must cure the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pilis are for weak kidneys—thousands testify to their merit. Can you doubt Norwich evi- dence? Mrs. Margaret Brown, 336 W. Main St, Norwich, Conn., says: “My back was in bad shape and 1 suffered se- verely from dull, heavy pains across my kidneys. It was almost impossible for me to get out of bed in the morn- ing angd I feit miserable in every way. I tried various remedies but was not helped and when I read of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills, I procured a supply at N. D. Sevin & Son's Drug Store. They made me feel like a different woman, re- storing my kidneys to a normal condi- tion and removing the pains in my back.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Handsome New Station of New Haven Road Much Admired—A Transformation, ¢ Westerly, July 9.—The new railway station in Westerly and its approaches and surroundings is among the hand- somest buildings of its size on _the Haven and Hartford Railroad com- bany. The building has been fully described in the Bulletin and the ac- companying illustration gives but a faint idea of its peauty and nothing of its modern equipment and accom- odations to the traveling public. The large waiting room occupies the whole of the main building while in one wing is located the baggage room and in the other wing the Adams Express office. The covering of the long plat- form on the track side or rear of the structure is of concrete in keeping with the station proper and on either end are resting or waiting places of the same chitectural design as the main building. From one of these, the one at the east end, is the en- trance to the subway that leads to the west bound track, but which is not yet in use, pending the construc- tion of a similar waiting place at the opposite end of the subw: ‘When this is completed all danger occasion- ed by the crossing of tracks will be obviated. _The front of the building is attrac- tively decorated with mneat carving nd on either side of the main en- I‘l ance to the building are small en- {closed by a high iron fence, simply for | cirele driveway in front of the build- | 1 ornamentation. There is a large semi- | ing and on either side are large ex- |panses of lawn with newly-seeded | grass and, will soon receive the at- | | tention of an experienced florist and | sardener. Westerly has reason to be proud of the new station and appre- | ciate the transformation from the old ramshackle affair that so many years | served as a passenger station. 5 New Business Block. on its property in Union street and to |u made up of | Fred- | Stafford | of | in | Several one and ! in | the | John H.
