his daughter and had been confined to

and appeared to be in good spirits. The
family did not suspect that there was
anything wrong with him mentally.
Hearing the report of the revolver one
of the family went to La Dams room
and found him lying on the loor dead.
Death must have been instantaneous as
the man to all appearances had not
moved after firing the shot. He had a
pillow under his head and was stretched
out at full length. La Dam was veteran
af the civil war, member of c. J. Orms-
bee post and had pension of S2+ a

sAYIN ROCK THEATER.

The programme at the Sayin Rock one. Large audiences attended both the afternoon and evening perform ances yesterday. The programme opens with piano selections by the well known pianist, George Felsburg, fol- lowed by an original sketch "Sappho, I Love You" by Frank Williamson and Addie Gilbert, which is very laugh able bit of vaudeville. The female duo Raymond and Thomas, acrobatic danc- CTS, captivated the audience with their clever dancing and most difficult aero batic performance. Alice Montague and J. Rayn West in a comedy musical sketch made a decided hit. MT. Vests cello solos were very artistically rem dered and he responded to several en- cores. The eccentric talking machine, Leslie and Curdy, were very funny; Dan Burke, Mable and Mollie Fuller in their new and bright farce comedy "Over the Pike" brought forth many bursts of enthusiasm. Mir Burke's ini- tations were quite original. His danc- ing was marvellous.
 The wonderful Busch, one of the greatest gymnasts in the country, sur prised the large audience with his many difficult trapeze acts. The show is we'll worth attending. The perform ances are given every afternoon and evening" rain or shine, at and S:15 re- spectively. All of the boxes were filled last night.

ELECTING A PATRIARCH.

Curious Scene at Constantinople.
 The large Orthodox community has been much preoccupied for the last two or three days with the election of Pa triarch in the room of Monsignor Con- stantine V, who, it will be remembered, was compelled to resign at the Greek Easter, just six weeks ago, The elec- tion is an event of considerable conse- quence as the Ecumenical Patriarch plays an important role in all political questions in the Balkan Peninsula. The result of the election this time, however, has been practically fore gone conclusion, as not only was Mon- signor Joachim H. but the clergy also recognized that he was practically the only man competent to cope with the present rather serious state of affairs at the patroarchate.
 The final ceremony took place yester- day, and huge crowds surrounded the pranar to learn the result of the elec- tion as soon as possible. The balloting of the Electoral Assembly for the ee- lection of the three final candidates re- suited in the return of Monsignor Joa- chim III, with eighty-t three votes, ana of the Metropolitans of Scio and Var na with seventytW and slXty-nlne votes respectively. The clergy then de- scended to the cathedral to invoke the Holy Spirit to direct their final choice The churchyard was densely filled with interested spectators, and the priests had the greatest difficulty in forcing their way through to enter the sacred building, which was also packed with an excited and noisy congregation. Many persons fought their way in with the priests and swarmed into the places reserved Cor visitors of distinction and officials.
 There was nothing solemn about the proceedings. On the contrary, the crowd chatted and laughed without the least respect for the place they were in, and it cannot be said that the ecclesi- astics were much better behaved. The Metropolitans nodded and smiled to each other, and whispered aside to the people at their elbows. Even while the prayer of invocation was being chanted by one of the brethren, the Metropolis tans gesticulated for pen and paper to subscribe their votes. The locum ten ems. Nigh.

ASK TO HOE THEIR OWN ROW
STATE MEME ERSOFA. o. '. IT. WISH
 TOFREE ETHEMSELTES.
Desire Separation from the Massachu- New England-Rhode Island is Doing This and Connecticut Wants the Same Privilege-MeetinSL Last Night Favored the Plan,
the Plan.

A special committee of delegates from lodges in this state of the Ancient Order of United Workmen held a meeting in the ante-room of Israel Putnam lodge on Orange street, to re- port on the advisability of divorcing the Connecticut from the Massachu- setts jurisdiction. Resolutions were adopted favoring this move.
 Thirteen state lodges were represent ed by twenty nine delegates. They were from seven New Haven lodges, and one each from lodges in West Ha- ven, Milford, Meriden, Cheshire and Bridgeport The presiding officer was J. P. B. Ricketts, of East Rock lodge, and D. M. Piercy, of Commonwealth lodge, was secretary. The resolutions adopted last evening ask that the Con- necticut members of the A. O. U. w., who number about 15,000, and have eighty odd lodges, be severed from the, so-called, Massachusetts Jurisdiction, and be empowered to institute a state lodge themselves and under self-gov- ernment
 The Massachusetts jurisdiction should more properly be called the New Eng land jurisdiction. It gains it's title from the fact that it is incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts, and it in- wolves the entire New England states. There are but 5000 members of the or der in Massachusetts, less than twice those in this state. Rhode Island has made an apparently successful en- deavor to get away from the control of the so-called Massachusetts jurisdic- ton, and 1t is expected that within a few days it will gain that separation which the Connecticut members are now seeking. To secure this the ap- proval of Grand Master Workman w. A. Ward, of Boston, must first be se- cured. The resolutions adopted last evening must be submitted to him. If he approves. then they will be submit- ted to the eighty lodges of the state, and if majority of that eighty vote to sustain the resolutions. and form a separate jurisdiction, that will end the matter and the Connecticut iurisdic- ton so much wished for by some of the lodges will become fact,
 The question of adopting the classi- fled plan of assessments practically hinges on the separate jurisdiction is- sue above mentioned. The classified plan must be adopted, according to the recent decision of the supreme lodge in conclave in Buffalo, if one state with draws and decides to ''hoe it's own row" That is what the Connecticut members are anxious to do,

CARDBOARD COMBINE.
Another Trust to be Organized Witt
 800 000 Canital

Another Trust to be Organized With s20 900 Capital.
 Norwich, July 8.-It was announced here to-day to on July 20 in the state of New Jersey there would be organiz- ed an immense card board and paper trust to be known as the American Cardboard and Paper company, to in- clude all the manufacturers of paper boxes in the country
 The concern will be capitalized at $20,C00,000, and the principal members will be the American StrawbCard com pany of Chicago, the Chicago Coated Board company of Chicago, and the Uncas Paper company of Norwich. The first concern is capitalized at $6,000,000 and the latter two at $50O,000 each.
 The scheme is promoted by Dean &s Shibley of Providence R. l., and F. W. Browning of the Uncas Paper company is greatly interested in the combina- ton.
 Rumors of combina ton of the paper box manufacturers have been current for some time, Arthur Stem. of Cincin- natl has been interested in a combina- ton of the manufacturers of board and paper and also the users of the material such as the American Folding Box and Paper company, the Munson Paper Box factory of New Haven, two Waterbury concerns in this state and many others, This combination has not yet been per- fected, the manufacturers of the card board preferring to combine among themselves.
 It is stated by MT. Browning that the combination will result undoubtedly in a change in the price of cardboard and paper. The concern will also, it is stat ed, make bid for European trade.

CONSTITUTION IS A WONDER
Continued from First Page.)


 
 might come her way, she sailed faster than the wind and by rare skill and superior ability worked herself through what seemed an almost ineXtricable tangle of humidity and haze greasy ground swell and dead calms to another extraordinary achievement. She rounded the leeward mark minutes and 42 seconds ahead of Columbia And then, with triumphant shake of her big reaching jib topsail set her bal looner and again scurrying faster than the wind which never during the rac- ing day exceeded the force of a six knot air she made the crowning record of her history by sailnig over the ten knots in 49 minutes and 46 seconds.
 Then came the cheering and the notes of acclaim from whistles and sirens in honor of the greatest boat that ever sailed fast light weather race. What she may do with topmast housed IS quite another narrative. She is up to this time superb in light airs, But stronger breath may conquer her.
 In writing of the brilliant work on Columbia mention should be made of the valiant efforts the old ship made 10 escape from the hoodoo of greater ner- it on the part of the Constitution. The brave and determined effort of E, D. Morgan, the pluclly amateur. Barr the able skipper and crew whose like can never be surpassed, who kept up the great fight to the finish and in the smart handling of the sails never lost a point were all recognized by appre- ciative spectators That she lost was owing to the same reason that Defend- CT lost in the last contest. She was outclassed as a vessel not that she had a crew or less ability.
 The same apology for the bad defeat of Independence may with greater truth be asseverated. The Indepen- dence was not handicapped by her per sonnel but simply by her inability to sail fast under the conditions that pre- vailed She made a fairly good start, she experienced no particularly bad luck, In fact in the reach to the sec ond mark she had the greatest bit Of luck in her life as she made faster time over the leg, to the tune of two min utes and 25 seconds than Columbia. That is the only satisfactory episode connected with the race of the Indepen- dence. In two trials in light weather she has not proved to be anywhere near her rivals What may happen in stronger breezes cannot be predicted.

The Consti- tuition thus beat her rival, Columbia, 10 minutes and second, while although there is no official time of the round- ing of the lee mark by Independence she was beaten nearly an hour on the last leg. As a matter of fact just about minutes and 30 seconds before the Constitution finished, Independence was dimly discerned rounding the lee mark, nine miles astern of the winner.
