Solicited a Trial.

When the Edinburgh militia were
called together some time ago at
Dalkeith, their Colonel the Duke of
Buccleuch, inspected the ranks man

tention was particularly directed to
q raw recruit, we'll known in certain
parts OF the Scottish capital who

Strikes and strikers Multiply.
Special kilograms from important

trade quiet and irregular, previous
gains having been followed by shrink

out of six of the more important cit
les in the New England and middle
states furnish encouraging reports a,
to trade this week, and not more than
one-third of the cities west or north
west send corresponding adviccs.
Three-fourths of the southern and
southwestern cities regard the situa-
ton at least as favorable as hereto
fore.
New England shoe factories are
running on part time, but there is a
better demand at Boston for lumber.
Some Philadelphia cotton men regard
the outlook more favorably, as do dry
goods and notion jobbers and dealers

more jobbers have been pleasantly
disapp' inted by the unexpected free
dom with which North Carolina and
virginia merchants have been pur
chasing, sales of dry goods, millinery
and notions having been heavier than
anticipated. Collections in South
Carolina are giving some uneasiuess.
There is some gain at Memphis, par
ticularly in dry goods and plantation
supplies, which is true at Atlanta and
Augusta as well, where retailers and
Iobbers report more cash sales than
for long time.
Birmingham jobbers in groceries
report increased sales, as do those in
dry goods and plantation supplies at
New Orleans, although exports of
grain at the latter are checked. Bus
mess at Chattanooga is also good, CON
sideriUg the season, and few COM
plants are made by leading merchants
at Little Rock, Galveston and Savan-
nah. Trade at Charleston. however,
is reported quiet, sales OF lumber only
being fair. The damage from frost
i'll the vicinity of Nashville week
ago was small.
The industrial feature of the week
is found in thirty-one strikes through
out the country, involving 40, 900 en-
ployes, principally among building
trades at New York and Chicago tex
tile industries at Patterson and New
York, coal miners and coke operators
in western Pennsylvania and further
west. Noticeably large increases in
the number of small strikes weekly
have taken the place of assumptions
of industrial establishments. Manu-
facturers of print cloths have marked
the price up Lice and report the de-
mand brisk.
The increased demand for billets
and Bessemer pig is due TO shaded
quotations. The trend of prices con-
tinues upwards.

Quite large party will go tomorrow from this city on the excursion to see the big Wild West show, a show worth seeing and to remember as an event. It is a fine opportunity at the price, only $1, viewed as an excursion alone The wonderful riding seen at the Wild West is one of the great features of the entire performance. Daring horsemen from all over the world have been gath cred into one large body, where each tries to excel in the" dangerous and thrilling feats. The Abilities of the cowboys of the western plains have their accomplishments contrasted with the riding of the Arabs from Egypt and the Cossacks of Russia. The Cossacks are probably the most wonderful riders on earth, for they appear to be able to defy the laws of momentum and gray ity.
 The iron steamer Colchester will leave Belle dock at 8:30 a. m. tomorrow, Au- gust 31 with an excursion party which will be taken directly to the show grounds at South Brooklyn, giving am- pie time to witness the entire afternoon performance, returning here at about 10:3O.

SAMOSETS GRAND OPENING
sQrABLE EVENT IN WEST HAVEN
 LAST EVENING.

Tifs Club Entertains Several Hundssd yis-
 ifers-Prominsnt, People From Many
 Piaees-rhe House Beautifully Decorated
 -The Affair . Fine Success.
 The formal opening of the club house Of the samoset corporation in West Haven was held yesterday afternoon and evening and was attended by fully four hundred invited guests. The club house is situated on the northwest cor ner of Albert and Elm streets and is one of the finest locations in the bor- ough. The house throughout is model of excellence, and is among the finest of its kind in Connecticut. It is a great addition to West Haven.
 The Samoset club was organized on January 17 last as an outgrowth of a desire upon the part of many of the leading male residents of West Haven for place of resort which would afford the conveniences of city club. It was thought that West Haven was large enough to support club of that kind, and the movement met with enthusias- tic encouragement and support from the leading citizens of the borough.
 The idea was to have the members subscribe to certain amount of stock in the club and in that way raise funds enough to build nice club house and furnish 1t.
 A meeting was held and the organ ization was effected with the following officers:
 President, Walter A. Main; vice presi- dent, A. E. Pond; secretary, H. G. Flames; treasurer, F. A. Jackson. Di- rectors were appointed as follows: W. A. Main, A. D. Pond. c. E. Graham, w. H. Brown, H. G. Flames, Israel Kelsey and W. B. Warner.
 A building committee was appointed as follows. who were to secure plans and arrange for the erection of a suit
