FRAUDS AND CHARLATANS.
Veterans to Fight Free Licenses Not
Entitled to PRIVILEGE.


At its meeting last night McLaws
Camp of Confederate Veterans deter
mined to take steps to protect the COM
munity against the issuance of licenses
to do business to alleged Confederate
soldiers not entitled to them, and
against the abuse of the privilege by
those whose records in peace are not
as good as were their records in war
The state issues such licenses to
needy Confederate veterans and they
save the amount of the license fee
otherwise exacted. 1t has come to
the attention of McLaws Camp that
such licenses are being issued to some
men who have no earthly claim to the
right to call themselves Confederate
soldiers and that others, whose war
records are good, are making an I'M
seemly use of the licenses after they
are received and auctioning them off
to the highest bidder
A committee was appointed to call on
the ordinary of the county and regis
ter protest against this condition of
AFFAIRS. The committee was instructed
to offer its services to Judge McAlpin
in purging the list of those not enti-
tied to be on it originally and of the
other class who are abusing the privi-
lege and the county of the state.
letter was read at the meeting last
night from Miss Mary Custis Lee,
daughter of Gen. r. E. Lee. When
Miss Lee was last in Savannah she
was made an honorary member of the
camp and the letter conveyed her
thanks for a handsomely engrossed
certificate ~ membership that. by d.
rection OF the camp, had been sent her
by AdJt Wilson.

 The banner company of the season, Primrose S5 Dockstader's Big American Minstrels, will open with an unusually big company and f1rst-class pro- granme, in their usual style of excel- lence. at the Hyperion, Tuesday, Au- gust 19. This is the big organization which excelled itself last season and broke all records at the handsome Vic toria theater. Broadway, New York, by playing to the biggest audiences that theater had ever witnessed. to an ex- tended time of six weeks over a previ- ous engagement of two weeks. so great was the popular favor, and that, too at Eastertide, when several popular companies had to shut down because of the Lenten season. So favorab ble were the press critics that even Allan Dale so far forgot his usual ennui and spoke in high terms of the company.

CAMP MEETING ENDING.

Thirty-seVenth Annual Session Closed. The thirty-seventh annual camp
 meeting of the New Haven district
 practically closed Sunday night after a remarkable day, filled with religious in- terest and great crowds. Yesterday morning the camp meeting closed with the annual march about Jerusalem and love feast.
 Rev. B. M. Adams gave a Bible read ing Sunday morning before 800 people at the auditorium. When the time for the morning service arrived, the auditorium was filled and the audience had reached the largest proportions. The choir singing under the direction of MT. Man. chester was feature of the service. William Manchester and Miss Newhold of Meriden sang solos. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. A. J. Smith of New Haven from Beloved now are we the sons of God" John, 3:23 ., D. c. Hill of New Haven conducted the senior department of the Sunday school hour on the grounds and Miss Lillian Gladding of New Haven had charge of the children who met for a study of the lesson at the South Park house.
 Sunday afternoon the old veteran, Rev. B. M. Adams of Bethel, Ca former pastor of the First M.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L.
 Mclean & Go.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l.. Mclean & Go.
 New York, Aug. 1.-The very disap- pointing bank statement brought about considerable profit taking in to-day's
 market, with the consequent fractional recession, but in no case was there any evidence of inside liquidation. The opinion of best posted operators is that the general market is great purchase on these declines. With crops now practically assured, it is the general be- lief that trade will greatly expand this fall and this should bring about an &C., tive security market. All indications are that the insiders are preparing for a
 big bull market later on and the lower priced railroads seems to be the stocks just at present offering the best oppor- tunities for profits.
 The strike situation seems to be clearing and will probably soon be a thing of the past. It is estimated that the gross earnings of Norfolk & West ern for the current fiscal year will be
 between $1S,0OO0OO and ,$20,C0O,O0O, other leading railroads are making just as fa- vorable showngs and will undoubtedly
 continue to do so for at least another year.
 Chicago markets: Further liquida- tion in corn resulted in another sharp break and also caused considerable sell ing in wheat. While corn should sell considerably lower before September l. it might be well to take profits now on shorts and wait for rally to put out
 an additional line. but would advise
 holding wheat and buying more on all reactions for the time being. J. L. Mclean & Co.,, No. 25 Broad

NEW SHOW A SUCCESS.
Much Applause Accorded the New Bill
 at the savin Rock Theater.


 at the savin Rock Theater. The new bill at the savin Rock Thea ter was presented for the first time yes- terday afternoon. It was a hit from start to finish, and there was every in- dicatfon of the success of the manage ment in retaining high standard of vaudeville.
 The Mozart quartette, four funny men that sing charrningly. were seen here last week, but they received just as much applause as they did 8 week ago In order to retain them it was necessary to cancel an engagement at Keith's. They are proving a drawing card here.
 Elsie Bernard in a song and dance sketch is clever. She seems to catch the eye and ear of the audience, and the Farmer Brothers in their funny acrobatic feats have opened the eyes of New Haven theater-goers. Those two women billed as the musi- cal Whallers are certainly artists at bill dinging. This is their speciality, but they play other instruments too. Sullivan and Pasquelene. in a song and dance sketch, have some original presentations, while Frank Drew as a monoIogue artist excels anything in this line that has appeared in New Haven. This is broad statement, but 1t is readily proven when MT. Drew appears. His local hits are clever and provoke roars of laughter, while his conversa- tion to the audience keeps every one guessing.
 Sheffer and Drew in blackface are cer- tainly funny. This style of performance is never new nowadays, but is all the artist makes it, and this duo get all there is to be gotten out of a lot of fun, frolic and foolishness. They win the applause too and pleased the people yes- terday.
