Realizing the impossibility of the duchess seriousness, the bishop, in chess parlance, moves and checks the queen, otherwise the duchess, restoring the two young simpletons to happiness and the widow to her senses. Tn brief that is the story. but much of real liter ary value is in the development. The characters are decided, and the whole runs smoothly and clearly. The set ting and costumes are suitable and lend to the sweet simplicity of 'The Bishops Move" .
 Revival of "ROmeO and JuIiet.''
 The production of Shakespeare -"Ro- meo and Juliet" for which Liebler &c Co., are now arranging a spring tour, promises to take on somewhat unusual proportions. The entire cast as an- nouneed by MT. George c. Tyler is as follows:

 It was at first hoped to secure the services of Miss Clara Morris for the role of Nurse, and that distinguished actress really held the proposition under consideration for week or more, but she has been very i'll of late, and it was but natural that she should doubt her ability to endure the hurry and hustle and fatigue of a tour which contemplates taking in eighteen differ ent cities in five weeks, and this includ- ing in the period of time stated two one week and two two night stands and in- termediate railroad trips of magnificent distances; hence Miss Norris ultimate declination was inevitable. The place allotted to her, however, has been filled by the selection of perhaps the most famous Nurse known to the American stage, Mrs. w. G. Jones, who consented to accept the assignment.
 The production will be one worthy of

The America's Cup Races.

The preparations for the coming America's cup races are now going on merrily on both sides of the Atlantic. The defender of the international yacht ing supremacy trophy is now almost ready for launching at Nat Herreshoff's Bristol (R. I.) yards. She is to be
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-21

launched earlier than any of her prede- cessors and thus will be had ample time in which to try her out in a thor ough manner and escape a repetition of the unpleasant Constitution episode of two years ago, which craft, it is well remembered, was put into the water so late that her true worth could not be ascertained.
 According to authoritative informa- ton, the new defender is a craft of the spoon order-that is, so far as her bow is concerned. Her forward end how ever is pretty we'll drawn out, so that she is not an exact type of boats of the spoon class.
 New Defender Light Above Water
 Line.
 The new yacht is unmistakably lighter above the water line than the Constitution, and to aid in this fea- ture the upper plating is of nickel steel instead of bronze. Thinner plates of the former metal can be used with safety, and thus decided advantage is had over the bronze upper plating of the Constitution.
 The exact length of the new vessels mainmast is not yet known, but it is designed to have an extent that will preclude the possibility of the gaff swinging off too far for the best rf suits when sailing on the wind. mast is to have fittings similar to ms of the Constitution-viz, two IS N spreaders and the eyes of the .5-,9oua5 well down, in order to give the spa, the greatest possible support.
 Shamrock Ills Small Sail Spread.
 Probably the chief characteristic of the new challenger, Shamrock III, will be her small sail area. While it may be a misstatement to say that she will carry the least sail of any cup chal- lenger, yet her spread will be less than that of the other Shamrocks and will closely approach that of the Valkyrie TIT.
 Designer "Wull'' Fife's efforts have been directed toward the production of a craft having a hull easily driven in all weathers. The behavior of the Shamrock II. was signal warning in the matter of plunging, and any depar- ture in the new challenger's design tends to show that the rectification of that fault has been held in view

Manage Mckibben of Tacoma has signed his entire team. It includes four members of last years organization Short Stop Joe Mccarthy, Third Base Man Richenfeld. Second Base Man Har- ry Fisher and First Base Man Hutchin- son.
 Western League Affairs.
 The Western league has fight on it's hands and is willing to spend no small sum to win out against the American association. The Western has established an $8,00O sinking fund to devote to the backing of it's Kansas City and Milwaukee teams against the onslaughts of the association.
 President Burns of Colorado Springs is waxing exceeding wroth these days because Hollingsworth has signed with Los Angeles. The Des Moines club has recently signed Outfielder Josh Clark and a Pennsylvania catcher named Marshall.
 The Western league is becoming stronger every year. Its management is capable and strong. Hugh Duffy and Charley Nichols are magnates in the league. Baseball in Denver is in dis tinctly quiescent condition. The war ring between the American association and the Western league has killed con- siderable interest usually active and which cannot be revived until the fight is settled once and for all

4 Story Of the Shops.

Speaking of stationery" said a hand some young woman few evenings ago, for a long time I have bought my sta- cause of a certain sweet and gentle woman who was always in place and who met you so cordially
 The handsome woman is to leave town in few days for a trip of several months and several friends were assembled upon a moonlit balcony on the Highlands to chat of vacations and to say good bye. When one has many friends. not to speak of admirers, and Is going away for two or three months, stationery becomes an item, and with this charming woman any kind of stationery will not do"
 T went down to buy some stationery today, but my friend was not in her ac- customed place and I missed her. She always knew the stock and made delicate suggestions of what was newest and best and you found yourself quite ready to leave your selections to her and felt that all would be well. I asked for the modest woman who made shopping a pleasure and learned that she was ill. anu AltliA Llle pltdShI6 OL lily NiSit u lilC store was gone"
 T remember the same attractive little woman," said a gentleman present. aand never visited the store but l looked for her. Some time ago I, too. went there to buy some pictures and other attractions for my bachelor den. She knew every picture in the department. and even others that were stored away. The most attractive were shown and happy pur- chase made She made several pleasing suggestions. and my wants were supplied in a very satisfactory and pleasantly re- membered way.
 q had heard" continued the gentle man. 'of the illness of the gentle sales woman who smiled to you from the cor ner of her department, and frequently made known my wants to her. and was pleasantly directed where l could make my purchases"
 Perhaps 1t was the attention she gave, perhaps it was the sweet smile and her womanly ways. Anyway she was one of the attractions of a great store, for a handsome woman and a bachelor ad- mrer have so testified.

Alabama Strike DisturbIno.


 Cables report spirited bidding in the Eu- ropean rail mills for contracts in Amer lea that home producers cannot consider owing to their over-sold condition. Coke is moving freely but the Alabama coal strike still dsturbs furnacemen. Another decline has taken copper to about 13 cents
 Textile industries are still waiting for re-adjustment or evidence of permanence In the present position of prices for raw material. In cotton goods orders are placed only upon condition of prompt de livery, yet it Is significant that stocks do not accumulate at the mills, which are steadily increasing their percentage of idle machinery. Consequently prices are fully sustained rendering a good profit to the manufacturers who hold raw material purchased at nominal prices. Aside from q few of the highest grades new lines of lightweight woolens for next spring are fully opened. Prices are about the same as a year ago Buyers taking woolen goods freely and showing preference for the fancy grades. Foot wear factories are crowded with work. orders coming in brislIly for all goods and western jobbers have placed additional contracts for next spring. Hides again average much lower and this continued weakness encourages shoe manufactur- CTS to postpone purchases of leather in extension of better terms. Failures this week were 190 in the United States against 193 last year and 10 in Canada compared with IS a year ago.

COLLAPSE VIEWED

Manufacturers Not Injured by
 Wall Street Panic
ALABAMA STRIKE IS FELT
Furnacemen Troubled By IdIeness In Birmingham District-spirited Bid ding for American Rails
 In European Mills.

New York, July SIR. G. Dun and companys weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Further evidence of the solid basis up- on which legitimate trade is established has been furnished by the equanimity with which commercial and financial in- stitutions regard the recent speculative collapse. Much more harm has been done to the country's manufacturers, and trade by the inflated prices of cotton than by the depression in stocks. Re ports are almost unanimous to the heavy distribution of merchandise, and this is shown satisfactorily by the increase in railway earnings, thus far reported for July 12.5 per cent over last year and 23. per cent above 1901.
 As rule, retail trade In summer fab- rics has continued heavy and Jobbers re- port fall business opening we'll Labor is well employed throughout the coun- try, except wherever voluntarily Idle. Agricultural news Is favorable. Foreign trade is maintained in exports showing considerable gain. A considerable im- provement is noted in the iron and steel industry. There is a striking absence of urgent orders, however. especially in lines outside of railway equipment. There Is less anxiety regarding the dan ger of over production, although dozens of new blast furnaces are in course of construction, and an active capacity of twenty million tons annually is now as- sured
