CuAR1Es F. GRAVES, BoDS FOUND
Discovered Near Regatta Point ut Lake
 EaltonstaIi by Dr. c. g. Lamb.

 The body of Charles $. Graves, who was reported about four weeks ago to have been drowned in Lake Saltonstali, was found yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock at the lake by Dr. Chauncey S. Lamb in the cove just about what is known as Regatta Point, on the east ern side of the like, only short dist ance above the railroad. Dr. Lamb was fishing at the lake about a week ago and left some articles there which he re- turned to get yesterday. lie roWed lnto the cove and saw the body lying III some rather shallow water not far rom the shore He at once notified Medical Examiner White of this city and as East Haven is outside of Dr. Whites juris- diction as medical examiner, he notified Coroner Mix, who later in the evening informed Dr. Gaylord, medical examin- CT of Branford of the finding of the body.
 pr. Gaylord viewed the remains about10 o'clock last evening and found that the body was not badly deconposed. not Withstanding the fact that it had been in the water for several weeks. The body. however was much bloated. It will be recollected that Graves a few weeks ago rented boat at Lake Sal tonstal to go fishing and that in the afternoon of the same day the boat was found empty except for Graves coat and vest, which were found in the bot tom of the boat.
 The body when found yesterday was clothed in all the ordinary clothing with the exception of the coat and vest. Dr. Lamb when he found the body tied a rope about it and dragged it up on the shore about ten feet out of the water where it remained until Medical Exam iner Gaylord arrived, after which it was removed to Griswold'S undertaking rooms in Branford.
 When the boat was found which Graves had hired to go fishing in an iron anchor and about fifteen feet of rope were missing and it was supposed that he had tied this about his body to make it sink. When the body was found yesterday, however, there was no rope and anchor with it and no signs that any rope had been tied about it.
 
 found in the boat note was found in one of the pockets of the coat, in which Graves had written that he was going to commit suicide and that his wife would be free to marry a man whose name was written in the note. Since his disappearance the water has been shut off from Lake Saltonstall by the New Haven Water company and men have been kept at work continually dredging for the body. The Water com- pany's men have been working night and day in the search and yesterday there were seven men dredging, the company being determined to find the body if it was there. It is thought that the dredging loosened the body from where 1t lay in the bottom of the lake, and that the strong wind which was blowing on the lake created a current which carried the body into the cove where it was found.

Frank Henry Sentenced from New Ha-

Hartford, June 26.-Frank Henry, who was sentenced to the state prison from New Haven in July, 1898, for ten years for burglary, was fatally injured while working in the shoe shop this afternoon. He was taking out some part of a shoe leveller which was out of order and it is supposed he must have accidentally touched the lever shifting the belt from the loose wheel to the tight one, The ma chine came together and he had his left temple crushed and also the skull at the base of the brain. Two Hartford physi- clans, the prison surgeon and a Wethers- field doctor were summoned, but none of them could be of any assistance. The mans death is momentarily expected.

No More Games at Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., June 26.-Cleveland will not see any more league baseball this year. No more games will be played here after the series with Boston closes July 1. President Robson made this an nouncement to-day. The cause, he says, is the refusal of nearly every club that has played here this season to return, owing to poor attendance. This year the gate receipts at the grounds of the Cleveland club have not averaged much over $25 per day, All the Cleveland games will be transferred to other cities.

of the taint from the system. The

be prosecuted. This kind of treat

in colors Those woven in brocade pat
terms are called supersatin antique.
The principal object of all these goods
was to provide pretty and durable
lining for thin dresses and also to take
the place of taffeta, which costs so
much and wears so poorly as lining.
Whatever they do to the cotton fibers
in weaving or dyeing, they have pro-
duced a really beautiful line of goods,
strong and practical, but altogether too
pretty in every way TO be used only for
lining. The peculiar silken surface does
net disappear with washing. The deli
cate colors, with or without brocade
figures, would be just the thing for
shirt waists where fine effect is de-
sired at minimum cost. The percaline
and nearsilk are produced in solid colors
only. The merceriZed sateens are ex-
quisitely printed.

long enough to tie in large knot and
hang yet nearly TO the waist. Beauti-
full garden and carriage hats are made
of exceedingly coarse but glistening
straw. The coarser the straw the more
stylish the hat. They are in all imag-
Unable shapes. One elegant hat of pale
green straw had a monstrous bow made

aboriginal negroes cooked rice in Ma
Mia so it is today and will be till the
Americans get established here. Few
spots are more uninviting than Ma
Mia kitchen. The walls are begrimed
with the SCOT and smoke of generations
and the finger marks of probably Ma
gellan and his men. The simplest con-
veniences of the most primitive back
woods kitchen in the States are lack
ing. The only way to preserve peace of
mind here, unless one can revolHtionize
everything and turn the whole. set of
native servants out neck and crop, is
never to go near that miserable altar
where decent food is daily sacrificed.
There are 10 persons, all told, under
our roof The house is the average
Spanish residence here. There is not a
tap or faucet in it or a drop of water.
An old well is in the yard, from which,
for the purpose of washing dishes and
the rear Of our house. water is drawn
in the poisonous old oaken bucket we
have heard about. All the rest of the
water used by 10 persons is carried by
our servants from the fire plug across
the street Our washbowls are emptied
by the numerous force of Tagalos. The
basins are carried out one at time,
emptied and carried back. Every time
a boarder washes his hands a Tagalo
picks up that basin, carries it dis
tance of 60 feet, empties it, pours clean
water into it and carries it back over
the so feet. Such thing as large
pail with a cover and spout, vessel in
which one man could carry twice day
water for all the boarders' basins, is un
beard of. 1t would cause a revolution
and would be dangerous.
This is how the boarders take their
baths, just as the family of the Spanish
officer of rank who inhabited the man
sion formerly were accustomed to take
theirs There is forlorn looking base
ment room with brick pavement. a
very shady looking old tank. or tub,
perhaps 90 years old, is in the place.
Not drop of water anywhere A gen.
tleman lodger wants bath. One of the
servants gets under yoke, to the ends
of which are affixed two ancient kero-
sene cans, the kind used for shipping
the oil, and goes 10 the corner. coming
back with them full of water. He mo-
tions the gentleman to stand in the
tank. Gentleman prefers to stand out
side. Very good. The Tagalo will scrub
the gentleman with brush if he
wishes. The essential part, however, is
for the bather to stand still and let the
servant pour water over him. To stand
still and have water poured over you
that is the Spanish Manila idea of hav-
ing bath. When you have done that,
you have duly paid Offering TO the god
dess of cleanliness
You will readily see that for all this
fddling business host Of servants is
required. In fact. it takes at least three
of these puny natives to do work that
one white person or one well trained
Chinese would accomplish in less time.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Sweet as is
the summer girl, | do not think she is
quite as delectable as she was last sum-
mer. There is too compact and trim a
look in the pique. burlap and crash
skirts, and not all the dainty shirt
waists in the world can overcome it.
The present fancy for pique skirts is TO
have the upper part fit tightly around
the waist and hips and the lower part
spread out with a serpentine fiounce,
both parts Joined together by white
embroidered insertion. This openwork
does not add particle of lightness, but
the pique is white, and therefore
thought particularly suitable for sum-
mer attire.
Lawn and organdie are the real sum-
mer stuffs. Cool they always look. and
dainty they are Lace adds the finish
ing touch of lightness. A striking dress
OF this kind had large quirled garnet
figure on cream foundation. The
skirt was long in the back and had
crisp cream colored taffeta underskirt
and pointed tunic simulated for the
skirt by bias fold edged and headed
by narrow black lace ruching. The
waist was gathered at the shoulders
and drawn to the belt, leaving the front
open to show vest Of plated crepe
lisse with black chenille dots on it and
a pointed arrangement of black lace.
The belt was Of black velvet with
fancy buckle, and black velvet stock
finished the neck. These high stocks,
some of them actually reaching the tips
of the ears. are very warm and net
nearly SO dainty and summery looking
as the fancy lisse stocks Of last season
with their big bows and rosettes But
sic transit gloria mundi.
The light summer dresses cost but
trife, as pretty lawn, organdie and 9th
er sheer fabrics can be purchased all the
way from to % cents yard, and ten
yards is an abundant allowance for a
summer dress. Then lace is added and
bit of ribbon, all bringing the cost of
material and trimming inside So. But
a colored underdress and skirt of taffeta
are necessary to match the outer dress or
contrast. This taffeta underskirt cost
much more than the outside, and not
every one could afford it. Silesia, sateen,
cambria and linen lining were alike OBJ
jectionable for such dress. Then were
brought forward percaline, nearsilk
and mercerized cotton Innings. The
percaline answers pretty we'll the near
silk much better and the mercerized
cottons best of all. These last two are
produced in all the season s colors, and
they certainly have the luster and
bloom of a good taffeta silk, and they

made of the finest Egyptian cotton
with combed yarn in woof and warp.
They are woven in sateen surface and
also plain. There are some beautiful
effects produced in these weaves by
brocaded designs, and some are printed
