Finest Lines of New Goods of the Seasol
 Trat pJ,cod fp Stock-Tna Naxv Gtora

Finest Lines of New Goods of the Season Just Placed in Stock-The New Store. Howe & Stetson yesterday afternoon formally opened their new store in the
 Moses building, and at the same time inaugurated their spring opening of all the newest goods of the season. The store was packed with customers near ly all day yesterday. and all who called
 were profuse in their expressions of de- light at the fine lines of goods shown
 and the convenience and arrangement
 of the new store. The opening will last to-day and tomorrow and tomorrow night, and while it continues unparal-
 leled opportunities will be given to se-
 cure the best goods at wonderfully low
 prices
 So great was the rush of trade yes-
 terday from the thousands of ladies
 who visited the store that one or two
 lines of goods were entirely sold out,
 but will be replenished to-day ready
 for redoubled crowd of buyers. One
 of the lines of goods that is attracting especial attention is the upholstery, a department which has just been great ly enlarged.
 Not only has the opening of the new store added wonderfully to the conven- fence of the stores, but the old store has been so reftted that it hardly seems like the same place. One novel; ty has been arranged which has proba- bly, never before been seen in New Ha- ven. In the inside of the showcases have been placed incandescent electric lights, which light up the interior of the cases and make the goods displayed inside show up finely, enabling the cus- toners to get a first-rate view of the articles exhibited.
 In the old store a kiosk is to be built in at which beverages, such as tea, cof- fee, chocolate and the like are to be
 dispensed, and the firm has negotiated for a new system of cash carriers. One of the most attractive bargains is a suit in black and colors, lined throughout with silk, for $12.5G. In the
 handkerchief department an all-linen hemstitched handkerchief is offered for | 121s cents, worth at least 25 cents, and never before sold at less money. There are 120 dozen of these on sale. The rib bon department offers for it's speciality a moire taffeta ribbon at 121a cents, and another at 19 cents, both remark able offerings.
 On a special table is shown a muslin drapery, 36 inches wide, at 71A cents, in eleven different patterns. On another table are corsets at 50 cents. This is the genuine c. B. brand, made by Strouse &1 Adler, and the regular price | is S1.00.
 As you enter the new store to the right is the enlarged glove department, the faces and embroidery, the made up neckwear, the upholstery depart ment and the suit room, each en-
 larged and greatly improved. and take up the right of the store. To the left are the ribbons, most effectively dis
 played in new cases; corsets, parasols and muslin underwear. This new ad- dition is brilliantly lighted by broad | windows and the ceiling in all parts of the store is twenty feet high. A new fitting room has been built in, and up- stairs is the new workroom.

Grand Opera House. .TOHN l.. SULLIVAN

When John l.. Sullivan, ex-pugilist Grand opera house last night he was greeted by one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences that has packed itself into that popular house in many moons.

 E. H. Sothern appears at the Hype- rion on Saturday evening in his latest success "The Adventure of Lady Ursu- la." Anthony Hopes play. The plot is satisfying as to it's theatrical clements.

 Bartlett.

Quick Wit and Good Nerve of Miss
 Bartlett.
 Miss Edna Bartlett, daughter of George D. Bartlett of Naubuc, rescued an elderly man in the Glastonbury cove Wednesday afternoon. The man, who is a German but little known in that vicinity, living in Naubuc, has had a boat upon the cove and was engaged Wednesday afternoon in bailing it out and making some repairs upon it. He was in the boat a short distance from the shore, but as the water is high it was floating in about eight feet of wa ter
 The old man in leaning over the side of the boat lost his balance and fell backwards and his head and upper por- tion of his body went under water. He was unable to rise, although his feet and legs were still ine the boat. His predieament was noticed by some chil- dren who were near the shore and they hastened for assistance.
 Miss Bartlett was attracted by their cries and ran down to the cove, where she saw at once that something must be done speedily. She jumped into the boat belonging to her father, which was moored near by, and rowed out to where the man was in peril. His feat ures then showed that he was losing consciousness and would soon be be- yond assistance. She managed to raise the man out of the water, and bringing her boat beside the other finally suc- ceeded in getting the exhausted man into her boat and back to the shore. He was taken to his home, where restora- lives were applied. and his recovery from the effects of the exposure is en- tirely probable.
 Although Miss Bartlett is small of stature, she had the strength and fore sight to act in an emergency, for which she is worthy of special credit.-Hart- ford Corrant

We assume that you are using something besides the ordinary city or town water supply, as it is now generally recognized that water as it comes direct from the mains is too impure for drinking.

1t Is probable the yield of wheat in Full
ton county this season will greatly exceed
that of any former year.-Rochester Repub-
lican. KISS
Wheat has been harvested and is now
awaiting the early appearance of the
thresher. The yield will be even in advance
of what was expected--Marttn County
Tribune.
Several specimens of wheat taken from
farms south of the city have been brought
to the Plain Dealer office within the past
week, all of which look fine, The stocks
are thrifty and the heads are filled with
plump kernels.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
A farmer from west of the city says he
never saw wheat headed much better than
it is this year. He pluclzed some heads at
random from his field and found they aver
aged siXty-1ve grains to the head.-Hunt-
ington Herald.
Mr.. Fred Hobbs. of Benton Harbor, who
is extensively engaged in the milling bust
ness, and has travelled over a large por-
ton Of Michigan and northern Indiana, says
that the wheat crop this year will be the
finest that has been harvested in this coun-
ty for thirty years.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
This country is going to experience one
of the heaviest yields of wheat this year
that it has had for several years. The yield
promises to be fifteen bushels per acre over
the county, which is an exceptionally large
crop. Some wheat will probably make as
high as thirty-five bushels per acre.-Wash-

AN EvENTFUL DAY.


Few days in the year have been so con-
spicuously marKeu Dy periods OF anxiety in
the affairs OF this Nation ag the Fourth Of
July. TO - Surther back than 1862 we
find the North intensely concerned over the
failure Of General Mcclellan about Rich
mond. 1t was anything but a joyous day
for patriotic people, because the minds of
loyal people were filed with anxiety and
concern about the future of the Union. A
year later the world saw Grant about
Vicksburg and the decisive battle of Gettys-
burg in progress so far as it could be
known. In the large cities 1t was known
that Vicksburg had surrendered and to the
administration that Lee had been beaten at
Gettysburg, but to the mass of thoughtful
people the conditions at both these battle
grounds were the cause of the gravest
rejoicing over the two great victories which
were achieved at Vicksburg and Gettysburg.
The war did not end then, as it should, but
Vicksburg marked General Grant as the
man destined to lead the national armies to
victory.
July a. 1864, followed the bloody fighting
of the bloodiest period of the war. The de-
pleted armies of the Union in Georgia were
not yet sure of Atlanta, ard those of the
East reduced in numbers and exhausted
had encompassed Petersburg and Rich
mond. To force Grant TO withdraw from
Richmond, Early had pushed up the Shenan-
doah valley, and on the Fourth there was
general fear that he might be able to cap
ture Washington before troops could be
FASTENED to it's defense. The timely arri-
val of troops from the Army of the Potomac
checked Early and turned him back when
in sight of the national capital
July 4, 1894, the Debs conspiracy to force
the railroads and the traffic of the country
to submit to his dictates was at its height.
Mobs held portions of Chicago, freight
traffic was suspended, and everywhere out
break was threatened. 1t was anything but
joyous Fourth of July, but the force of the
conspirators eliminated on that day, and in
a week all danger had passed.
The situation at Santiago, while 1t in
wolves no great issue affecting the future
of the Republic, fills the public mind with
solicitude to-day. The loss of so many good
men and the probability of greater loss has
a SOLDERING effect.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-07-04

The results of war are sometimes greatly
beneficial to civilization and humanity, but
war itself is a terrible business. If 1t has
minimize it's horrors, to relieve the sick
and suffering and to contribute to the COM
fort and the moral, as well as the physical,
welfare of the soldiers in the field. These
efforts furnish a great outlet for the philan-
thropic energies of those who do not go to
the front, women as well as men. They are
the organized humanities of war which miti-
gate features they cannot wholly prevent.
They appear in a great number of local
movements in aid of particular commands,
often organized and carried on by women
with very beneficial results, but more espe-
cially in the hospital and relief arrange
ments of the government and in great ma
tional and International societies for the
protection and care of the sick \and
wounded. During the civil war we had the
Sanitary and Christian Commissions. two
organizations which carried on philan-
thropic and religious work among the SOL
diers, and both of which became famous
for the immense results of their benefi-
cent labors. In this war the Sanitary Com
missions work will be done by the National
Relief and Red Cross organization, sup
ported by numerous auxiliaries, and the re-
ligious work will be chiefly done by the
Army and Navy Christian Commission, or
ganized by the International committee CT
Young Mems Christian Associations. as
sisted by the churches. The Red Cross or
ganization is international in character and
its flag is respected by all nations as the
protector of sick and wounded soldiers. Re-
cent dispatches say it has been raised over
a number of buildings in Santiago not used
for Red Cross purposes, in order to prevent
bombardment If so it is an act of treach-
cry quite in keeping with Spanish character.
The Red Cross does it's work among sick
and wounded soldiers after they reach the
hospital, or on the field after battle. The
Christian Commission works among the
men in camp, maintaining large tents sup
piled with facilities for writing letters. with
games, magazines. illustrated papers. an or
gan, hymn books and all facilities for social
and religious meetings. A plentiful supply
of oatmeal, water and ice water is furnished
at each tent and every effort is made TO
make them homelike and attractive. Ten
such tents are now in use at Camp Alger,
twelve at Chickamauga, and others will fol-
low the troops to Cuba and Porto Rico as
soon as camps are established there. Three
are now on the way with expeditions to the
Philippines. These efforts to contribute 20
the personal comfort and moral well being
of soldiers are the result of private organi-
cation. and while they are approved and en-
couraged by the military authorities they
are entirely distinct from the relief and
hospital arrangements of the government
and the Red cross. The philanthropic work
ers in these different lines are not making
much noise. but they are doing great deal
to alleviate the horrors and brighten the
darker aspects of the war.
