These recreative trips of the President
are always coincident with some impend-
ing contingency in our national exis-
tened When Memorial Day gets around
Grover is afflicted with soulful yearn-
ing after some sequestered stream
where he may fish and
cut bait. When the silver bill
crisis was at its height Grover again
yielded TO the same mania. Careful
students of the Groveran age will note
that these pilgrimages of the President
are simultaneous with those occasions
when the President ought to be at the
helm. His present hegira is proof that
he fears the Wilson bill.
AS Grover could be of little use, any
way, in quieting the fussy fowls at
Washington, his withdrawal will not
occasion any apprehension.

SPLENDID SUCCESS
OF OUR
Dress Goods
Opening!

The ladies not only lavished
their warmest compliments on the
beautiful display but they bought
literally and ordered their spring
and summer costumes from our
dressmaking department-far be-
yond our antioipations, consider
ing the times. This gratifying
result emphasized again the in
fluenoe Of low prices for the earli-
est, choicest and most exclusive
selections-alway the policy at
Ladd's.
The high character Of this dis
play has never been equalled in
the history of our house, and never
have such low prices prevailed.
Remember, early selections are
the cream of the selections. Our
stock represents the first choice
from the very leading foreign pro-
ductions, and from it the earliest
customers secure the choicest
things.
The exhibition will be continued
in our third floor parlors this week.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE
Clara Curtis Sad Death in a
Cumberland, r. l., Cottage.

Believed to Be the Victim of Criminal
Operation-was Accompanied by Three
Unknown Men Who Are Now Missing.
PAwTUCKET, r. l., June 6. The
police of Cum berland are at work on a
case of suspicious death at that place.
About 10 days ago young woman named
Clara Curtis and three men, whose names
have not yet been made public, moved
into cottage on what is called the Par
don Violet Farm. They attracted no at
tention until last Saturday, when DIR.
Hague was hurriedly summoned to the
cottage to attend the girl He saw at
once that she was suffering from crim-
inal operation, and notified Medical Ex-
aminer Garvin of the case. They both
visited the cottage that night, and while
they were there the young woman died.
From what DIR. Hague could learn of
the case, he was of the opinion that an
operation had been performed, probably
on Memorial Day. on which day the girl
visited Pawtut ket. He also learned that
after his visit in the morning she had q
miscarriage.
On Sunday A. F. Ellis called on Over
seer of the Poor Merrill Spring and stated
that the girl had died in destitute cir
cumstances, and requested an order of
burial from the town.
The order was given to Undertaken
Phillips of Pawtucket, and when he ar
rived at the house Sunday evening he
found that immediate burial was neces-
sary
A minister was sent for, aud in the
shades of evening the body was buried in
the free lot at Diamond Hill burial
ground
The girl was about 90 years of age, and
it is said her father resides in West Mans
field, Mass
The house where the girl died is locked
up, and it is thought that the men have
left town, as nothing has been heard of
them since yesterday morning.
The remains of the girl will pro badly
be exhumed and an autopsy held.

Report of the Agricultural Bureau For
the Week Ending June 4.

BOSTON, June 5.-The following weather
and crop bulletin has been issued from
the New England branch of the United
States weather bureau for the week end
ing June d:
The continued cloudy and wet weather
has delayed corn planting In southern
Maine and with the cool weather has
somewhat checked the growth of some
Held crops. But grass and grain is every
where making rapid progress, and in
more northern sections all crops are doing
well. The feed in pastures is excellent
In all the southern counties in New
Hampshire, the ground is completely
filed, and in some lowlands the crops are
either under water or in the mud. Plant
ing has been very much delayed, and
much replanting will have to be done.
Corn especially has been injured by the
continued wet and cold weather 1t
looks anything but promising where it
has come up, and correspondents in all
the southern counties report that great
deal has rotted in the ground. Some are
replanting, but others will harrow the
ground for barley. Early paintings of
potatoes on dry land are growing nicely.
Nop euOuGu Reports nave Deen re-
ceived from Vermont to make a fair state
ment of crop prospects, but as the con-
ditions of the weather was much the
same as in New Hampshire, the results
must be very similar.
The growth of hoed crops has been re-
tarded in Massachusetts during the past
10 days, till at the present time they are
but little ahead of the average. In the
eastern part of the state considerable corn
and potatoes have been planted over.
Potatoes that had good start before the
rain are looking we'll If not on too wet
land. Generally the correspondents re-
port the grass and grain growing finely
and with good crops promised, but in
northern Franklin county it is looking
thin, with considerable sorrell, and in
western Plymouth county not more than
two-thirds of crop is indicated.
In the southern part of Rhode Island
there has been no ill effects from the wet
weather; all crops continue to grow well,
and the conditions are very encouraging,
although warmer weather and more sun
shine will be very acceptable In north
