To Start for Kure This Week to Dock Washington, July 9.--The navy de- partment was informed this morning that the Oregon has arrived at Che Foo She will start for Kure, Japan, to dock, tomorrow or Thursday.

HARTFORD LADY AT THE
 AZORES

| The following Is from private letter from Mrs. A. l.. Goodrich, of Hartford, descriptive of the Azore Islands, which are about eight hundred miles east of the coast of Portugal.
 T cannot tell you what a perfectly delightful day we had yesterday sailing very close to the wonderful Azores They are next to Switzerland of any, thing I have ever seen. No word of mine can paint or pen even weak de- scription of the glories or beauty of these islands It was such q lovely June morning, and I spent every mo- ment of 1t upon the captains bridge, where I had all the information I could possibly desire, to say nothing of that first view of those bold, very high mountains. One of six hundred feet seems to rise out of the ocean. First of all down into the ocean went our letters home in a small box, which one of the tackles lowered for the fisherman to pick up and mail-suhject to their hon. esty of course, as we drop ten cents into the box for each of our letters. But to return to the islands, inhabited by the Portuguese, They are wonder full, indeed, every inch of ground from the highest point to the sea is wonder fully laid out and cultivated The Isle of Porta has twenty-siX thousand peo- pie. Such vineyards and lemon and or ange trees with pineapples and every other tropical fruit you can mention al- most. is to be seen from the ship. The thrift of the people cannot be under stood till you behold it. Extensive iron mines we also passed and numberless cascades of remarkable beauty. Wind mills for grinding corn were numerous ever at the height of two thousand feet. l do not wonder the Portuguese desire no interference and will not encourage foreigners to tarry, although the great CT part of their products go to England Their homes, churches and monasteries are very lovely and picturesque. We had many recognltions from the Portu- guese flag The isle of Porta is beauti- ful. The isle of St. George more so; such hills of everlasting green upon them all The combined population is 9,790."

ANOTHER MILL RIVER VICTIM.
Young Thomas Sullivan Drowned
 There Yesterdny AfternOnn.


 While in swimming with crowd of young companions in Mill river yester- day afternoon Thomas Sullivan, the twelve-year-old son of Lawrence Sul- liyan of No. 909 State street was drowned back of the Marlin Firearms compaSy's factory. The boy with about dozen others was swimming when suddenly he was evidently seized with cramp and sank. None of the boys were able to aid him and he was soon beyond all help. The alarm was nearby and soon number of men were out in boats dragging for the body. It was about o'clock when the boy was drowned and about o'clock the body was recovered by Henry Boucher of East street. who was one of the searchers The body was found on- 1y a short distance below the point where young Sullivan disappeared be- heath the surface. It was removed to the Sullivan home on State street. MT. Sullivan, the boys father, is employed in the city street department.
 That part of Mill river where the drowning occurred is a favorite swim ming place for the boys who live in that section of the river and is also dangerous place for swimmers. It is a very deep part of the river and there is a cold current from springs which frequently causes cramps to bother those who swim into the cold water. A large number of drownings have oc-, cured there, one or more having oc- cured there every summer for a num- Der of years. This fact seems not in the least to deter the boys who flock there in warm weather and the result is that every summer the list of those who fall victims to the rivers dangers is added to.

DEATH OF A. c. TRAEGER, THE
 FORMER PROPRIETOR OF TRAE-

| GERS HOTEL.
 News was received in this city of the death of Augustine C. Traeger, which | took place at the insane asylum at Middletown Sunday night. MT Traeger was about fifty-three years of age. He was sent to the asylum over a year ago his mind having shown signs of failing for some time before. Since going | away his health has failed gradually
 and he died of paresis.
 His wife died over a year ago. The death of his only son, A. c. Traeger, jr., about ten years ago, was a great blow to him, from which he never recovered.
 Young Traeger died on shipboard on
 trip to Europe for the benefit of his
 health. Later MT. Traeger met with
 financial reverses and all his troubles
 affected his mind.
 He conducted several cafes in New
 Haven, and at one time had accumu- lated considerable money. His best suc- cess, perhaps, was in a cafe located on Center street, between Temple and Gregson streets. He was located there several years and finally sold out at good price to a New Yorker. He was a wealthy man when he sold out and opened the hctel that is still known popularly as .Traeger's" although now The Groveland.
 This was for years one of the rem dezvous Of Yale men, as indeed 1t still is. Many Yale graduates remember the place very well, and upon their return to the city visit the old Dutch room" fitted up by Traeger as q student room.
 But affliction in his family came with business prosperity and the tide of fortune turned. A sick son, ailing with consumption, caused Traeger to go to Europe several times, finally to reside there for year or two. Much of his fortune was then spent He indulocd in dissipation and wrecked his strong con stitution. About two years ago his faithful wife. who had with what re- mained of the fortune, bought "NIory's," died. Traeger was then in the state asylum.
 A host of friends among the German | and indeed among all class l cs of the community, will be very sorry | to learn of the end of one of the good | fellows of his day and generation
 He was born in Germany and came to | this country when young man. He | was member of Connecticut Rock | lodge, r. and A. M, and Harmonic f council A brother. Alfred, resides in New York, IL is expected the remains will be brought here for burial
