THE FOURTH OF JULY FUND.

An Appeal to Hurry in the subserip-
tons BY Wednesday,
The subscriptions have passed the
$500 mark but this is only about one
third of the sum necessary to produce
the electrical display
Not one penny of the sum of 81 900
appropriated by the city will be used to
pay for an illumination on the Green
s425 Of it will be spent for fireworks.
The electric display, it will be remem-
bered, will last at least three nights
and all the beautiful effects arranged
for can be reprouced over and over
again.
1t is urged upon citizens that they
run the subscriptions up to 81, 900 by
Wednesday night, when the committee
will meet and the matter of ordering
the work done must be made on that
night. 1t does seem that out of the
100, 900 people in New Haven that there
are ten or fifteen thousand patriotic
enough to contribute each ten cents.
Send it to the Journal and Courier Of
flee. Your name will not be printed I'M
less you wish, or drop it in the box
(not the mail box) on Church at cor
ner of Chapel street, at Mix's drug
store. Only get it in by Wednesday.
The tableaux feature will be even
more beautiful than the fireworks or
electric pieces and will not only be ex-
quisitey artistic, but educational as
well. In fact if the money is forth
coming three nights programme will
be rendered that will be worth dollar
apiece to each beholder.

Camp Haven, Mantle, June II, 1885,
The Connecticut Naval battalion has
rounded out nearly o week of camp life
here, and the question uppermost in
most minds now Is, where are we go
ing next?" The immediate destination
OF the Reserves after they have been
mustered in here will be Boston, prob
ably on board the receiving ship Wa
bash, there to be assigned for future
service. Commander Fields, the re-
cruiting officer here, Is the authority
for the first statement. While looking

is THAT GARMENT READY?


Asked for Needy Cubans and Families
of United States Soldiers by New Ha-
ven's Branch Of the Needlework Guild
of America
The New Haven branch of the Nee
dlework Guild of America is out with
it's reminder that the garments asked
for suffering Cubans and for the fami-
lies of American soldiers Should be in
by June 20. or course those not ready
may be forwarded later, but the great
shipload is now nearly ready and New
Haven should be well represented
Only new garments are asked for, but
these are very simple and inexpensive
The following list Of ladies will receive
the garments and will also be glad to
furnish definite information as to just
what garments are needed. The need
of the Cuban women and children is
very great, as the dead must be buried
naked in order that the living may be
clothed.

Our Losses in the War.

The report from Washington
of the official records OF the
War Department, as far as com
pleted, show that there were
thirty~three officers and 23I en-
listed men of the army, 2o4 IN
all, killed in battle during the
war with Spain. These casu-
alities include all the lives lost
by the army in the army i'll the
battles of the Philippines as
we'll as those in Cuba and Porto
Rico. The percentage Of 9TH
GERS killed is strikingly large,
and is said to be unprecedented
in the battles of the world.
The contrast is especially strl-
king in the case Of the battle OF
Obdurman, where, although the
loss of life was heavy, the list
killed included only one officer
in the British army.

A Magnificent Opening

September the goth was ush-
cred in bright and beautiful and
marked a notable era in the hiss
tory of Elizabeth City. On
that day the mammoth estab>
iishment of Messrs McCabe &
Grice had it's unique Fall Open
ing. This Firm has recently
moved into its new building
which tar surpasses, in ARCHITECT
tural beauty, anything in our
lovely little city and rivals any
store~structure in the broad Inns
its of our grand old common
wealth.
The known energy, push and
enterprise of this strong pro-
gressive firm caused the public
to be on the tiptoe ofexpectacy,
as they impatiently awaited this
eventful occasion. They knew
full we'll that nothing tame and
second rate would be in evl
dence. But in their widest
dreams they never pictured any>
thing half so grand, magnificent
and bewitchingly attractive as
burst upon their enraptured
vision. AS they stood for the first
time, on that bright Septem~
Der morning in the midst of SO
much enchanting loneliness they
might we'll have thought that
by some magical art they had
been suddenly and unexpect
edly transported to FAIRY
Land" Decorative art had
hung the building in rich
and varied colored drapery, in
terspersed with evergreens, and
choice flowers. The Windowe
were gems of purest rays Sc
rene" and arrested all passers by
and held them spell bound. Also
the Millinery Department was
specially attractive and evoked
many favora Die comments.
The finest possible selection
of goods had been purchased
with great skill, and was dis
PLAYED to the very best advantage
by practiced and artistic hands
Dulcet strains of music, as swee
as if an 1Eolian harp had beer
swept by a master hand, tel
like a benediction upon TIL
busy throng. A large corps o
clerks, consisting OF beautiful
maidens clad in immaculat
white, and gallant gentlemen
attended to every wish OF tn
many customers. Handsom
souveniers were presented t
these delighted aud surprise
customers and all departed wei
pleased with their purchase
: and wondering how such I'm
1 goods could be sold at sue
J moderate prices. Nothing hap
E pened to mar the day and a,
I agree in pronouncing it a gran
success.
