pale faces or poWwowS of the red men, the electric cars now bring thousands upon thousands of people every week, and on hot Sundays the number of vis- itors is enormous. Special attractions are provided by the railroad company to entertain visitors, as told in an ad- vertisement in another column
 A youthful visitor at the Point, writ ing about it, says one would almost suppose by the crowds of people at Lighthouse Point Sunday that the con- ductors and motormen had devised an- other big picnic and were holding 1t there.
 It is undoubtedly the fine attractions there this week that are bringing the crowds The railroad company and MT Taylor deserve a great deal of thanks and credit for bringing the at- fractions at the shore, which are pre-, scented there. This week there will be concert daily by MT. and Mrs. Steph- ems and George w. Moore, the come dian MT. Stephens studied at Flor ence Italy, under Giovani, Vaunnicini and Cortesi when quite young. While studying there he made the acquaint- ance of Mir Alexander Salyini, ST. Af- ter completing his course there he be- came an honorary member of the Cis- colofilogio and the Ernestorossi Dra- matic club. There are but few Ameri- cans belonging to either of these clubs. He made successful tour of Florence and was very successful at the cham Der concerts in England. He then re- turned to America, where he sang at
 
 After that he took the tenor role in ''Marcello'' and of Columbus in "1492;" then that of Captain Winthrop in Liberty Bell" at the Boston theater, June 1. He last played for the Boston Musician company in the Yankee | Cruiser''
 Mrs. Stephens has before been exclu- l sively confined to church and concert music, but for the coming season MT. l Stephens has received several offers for | both him and his wife, one of which he will very likely take.
 l Mrs. Stephens has very fine soprano voice, as those who heard her at the Majestic roof garden can testify. While running to catch the last car Saturday night she stepped on a stone and | sprained her ankle, so she was not able to sing Sunday.
 i MT. George Moore, the comedian, is also here. MT. Moore has played very successfully all through the United | States, having played several times in New Haven. He has accepted an en- gagement in New York for next sea- | son.

IRATE BIcYcLIsTs.


 The Authorities Dealt Leniently-They
 Rode on the Walks
 Special Constable Charles Hoffmester informed Dennis Kimberly, the warden of the borough of West Haven, that he would devote the day to the enforce ment of the law regarding riding bicy- cles on the sidewalks.
 The warden assented, and the con- stable began work The warden sup posed that the constable would arrest vioIators of the law and have them brought before the court in the usual manner. But that method was too slow for the constable. He made the arrests, and without waiting for the formality of court imposed the fines on the spot. The bicyclists thus taken in charge were: Charles O. Blake of 100 Minor street, Marshall Donnell of 50 Davenport avenue Frank Johnson of 103S Chapel street, c. E. Jones or ID Shelton avenue, G. l.. Hedgel Of 333 North street, J. M, Elwood of Kimber- ly avenue, George Roudeau of 6S Spring street. James J. Horan of Waterbury, John A. Cox of S7 Long wharf, George Brooks of Meriden, George Pollou of 196 Grove street, and Andrew Blake of l96 Grove street, together with two others.
 Some of the prisoners, who questioned the legality of the proceedings, were referred to Judge Bryant Of the borough court The judge found three prisoners awaiting his return from church, and on being assured by Con- stable Hoffmeister that he had acted under instructions from Warden Kim beriy, the judge advised the prisoners to pay the tribute demanded by the constable They paid $2 apiece. Later In the day seven others called at the judges house, were given the same advice, and they paid $1 apiece to the constable.
 Some who refused to pay were noti- fled to appear before the borough court yesterday morning for trial They came. but Prosecuting Attorney Bush refused to prosecute, and they were al- lowed to go.
 Suits. it is said will be brought against the constable by sori1e of the parties on whom he levied tribute.

DEWEY QUICKLY GoRRLEp.

The Fourth Estate exclusively an- nounced in it's last issue the resigna- tion of John c. Dewey, for nearly four teen years identified with J. H. Bates and Lyman D. Morse's advertising agencies.
 Mir. Dewey's valuable services have been quickly secured under liberal of- fer made by the Bates Whitman com pany, advertising specialists, whose business already requires the entire fourteenth floor space of the Wander bilt building. Both parties are receiv- ing congratula tions on the formation of the new relations
 John c. Dewey was born 'in the fif- ties" in New Haven. In 1878 he entered the advertising business and quickly found a place near the top" which he has since maintained, being most of the time with J. H. Bates and his success or, Lyman D. Morse. Last week he re- signed with the intention of entering the general advertising agency field on his own account, as stated in this pa per.
 Probably J. C. Dewey has placed to the advantage of the advertiser con- tracts to as large an amount and has made as many friends and as few enc mics as any other person in the busi- ness. U. G." as many advertising men term him, is said to have possessed the happy faculty of turning down" a solicitor and yet permitting the latter to leave with a feeling in his mind as though he had parted with his best friend.
 Mr Dewey intends to open his desk with the Bates Whitman company in the near future, as soon as Mir Morse can spare him.
 Irving M. Dewey young brother of John C., and another old timer, will continue to manipulate the rate mar ket'' for MT. Morse.-From the Fourth Estate August IS.

ALASKAN SEALING POOR,

Catch Averaged Only Three or Four
 Seals a Schooner So Far.
 Seattle, Aug. 1.-The Steamship Portland, Captain William Kidston, ar rived in port last night from St. Michaels, Unalaska, bringing advice from the latter place up to August 2. The United States revenue cutter Rush dropped anchor in Unalaska harbor on August from the sealing grounds in the vicinity of Pribyloff islands. Her officers say that there are about seven ty sealing schooners in these waters this season, about sixty-five of which are flying the British flag. The seal ing season opened on August 1, but ow- ing to unfavorable weather the catch has not averaged more than two or three seals to each schooner thus far. whereas under favorable conditions each vessel would capture as many hundred seals per day Captain Kid ston says the water is very cold in and around the islands, owing to the vast amount of ice from the north, thus preventing the seals from making their appearance in large numbers.
 The government seal commission, headed by Dr. David Starr Jordan of the Leland Stanford, jr, University, California, was preparing to leave Unalaska on the Rush for cruise in the waters where the sealing fleet is now fishing, when the Portland sailed.

BRICK INDUSTRY FLoUR1sH1NG.

North Haven, Aug. 17.-Business is reported brisk throughout all the brick yards between this place and Berlin, and the prospect for the winter is said to be bright. Most of the yards are running full handed, with about their full capacity. Some are not running full hours yet, but expect to start up by September 1. New clay banks are being opened all along the line. The present healthy condition of the brick manufacturing industry is interpreted as meaning that building is to be ac- tive this fall and winter.
