NEWPORT, r. l.. August %, 1903.
newport has had a jolly and episode
week. Those who think the dullness of
early August continues and that the sea-
son Is about to end will soon find then-
selves mistaken. The first two weeks of
september are sure to prove the best or
the year; after that social gayeties will
soon subside. Polo continues daily into
next month. and by the time 1t ends the
DOG and horse shows will be In order. Re-

CAPE MAY. n. J.. August IS. 1903.
OF late years there has been a tendency
among visitors to remain longer at the sea-
shore than formerly. This season promises
to hold out longer than any in the past, for
the reason that a number of events have
been arranged to take place about the big
hotels and on the golf links
The cottage colony will not be broken I'M
til after the LIST of October. and the larger
hotels have decided to remain open until
the middle of September, while all the mod
erate-sized houses will keep open through
out that month.
A barometer as to the progress being
made at Cape May is the report of the sales
which have been made during the week to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company of
large portion of the land from its present
terminal into Washington street the main
business thoroughfare of the town. 1t will
cost 1t to make this change of terminal
probably one-half million dollars and it is
believed that this company would not
make such move unless it saw in Cape
Mays future a coming advancement. Real
estate sales have been active and a great
deal of property has changed hands and
the new property owners are those who
VIII make improvements immediately An

In any case, the new Deutsch airship,

models, is now practically ready for a
race. More mystery surrounds the airship

be its motor.

RELICS OF LONG AGO
GOVERNMENTS EXHIBIT TO IN
CLUDE WORKS OF ART.
Architecture, Sculpture, Carving and
Pottery Examples of Monolithic
Stones and Textile Work.

At the Louisiana Purchase exposition
next year the government will have an ex-
hibit for the purpose of showing the artis-
tic achievements and tendencies of the vari-
Gus American aboriginal tribes. 1t is re-
garded as remarkable how far the people
of the new world were advanced in the fine
arts. as they understood them. and even as
we understand them now. Although very
primitive, compared with that of the
European peoples. their sense of art and
beauty was highly developed in everything
they manufactured. as is seen today in the
relics of ancient civilization.
The exhibit will come under the general
supervision of the Smithsonian Institution,
and directly under the bureau of American
ethnOlOgy, of which Dr. w H Holmes is
the chief DIR. Holmes is also in charge
OF the division of anthropology in the
national museum. From the museum there
will be exhibits of geology and biology,
while the Smithsonian Institution proper
will have an exhibit, as well as the national
geological park and the astrophysical lab
oratory. under which comes Prof. Langley's
flying machine experiment. The museum
is represented on the government board
for the exposition by DIR. F. w True
In speaking of the general nature of the
museum exhibits DIR. Holmes said
I'VE are all seeking, in the rather small
space that will be allowed US, to provide
exhibits that will represent our particular
departments to good advantage, and yet
not duplicate our previous exhibits"
The department of anthropology of the
national museum has made a fine showing
in almost every large exposition this coun-
try has had. beginning with the centennial
in 1876. and including the Chicago worlds
fair. and the Atlanta, Nashville and Buff
falo eXpositions. At Buffalo DIR. Holmes
had a large number of lay figures. single
and in groups, showing the different peo-
pies of America and these are now in the
museum and are regarded probably the
best representations of the life of past ages
that have ever been made.
The Artistic Touch
1t is said that the ST. Louis exhibit is
being made to assume this general artistic
character partly on account of the French
element the exposition being held in COM
memoration of the purchase of Louisiana
from France over hundred years ago.
AS the collection of relics. models and
photographs will show, the apparent es-
thetic nature of the primitive American
tribes seemed to be working itself out along
the same lines as among the civilized peo-
pies of Europe although they were COM
pletey cut off from Europe during their
entire history. DR.. Holmes has made u

NUTMEG CRAVINGS

Mary Nolan, Ii years old, was drown ed early last evening near her home in Derby. Her body was recovered. Tie child was gathering flowers on hill- side, at the bottom of which was pool of water about fifteen feet deep. She stumbled and rolled down the hill into the pool. When the body was recover ed it was found that the girls head was badly cut, probably by stone, and she was undoubtedly stunned when she fell into the pool.
 Mary McGovern, the demented young woman who disappeared from Bridgeport some weeks ago has been heard from in New York. Superintend- ent Birmingham received word yester- day that the McGovern woman had ap- piled for aid at Charitable institution in New York. She is detained there because it is apparent that she is men, tally unsound The missing woman left Bridgeport the morning of her sis ter's funeral. The obsequies were de tained several hours because of her ab- sence. The Charity authorities of Bridgeport have been notified of her presence in New York and will arrange for her return to Bridgeport. She will be committed either to the almshouse or the insane retreat at Middletown. [

The Yukon Country.

Prof. Macoun, the veteran botanist, who has made a special study of the
 Yukon country, is very enthusiastic and very emphatic in preaching the gaspel of proven arability of that semi arctic territory. He tells us that there is no reason in the world why the Yukon should not raise enough farm produce to supply its inhabit- ants, and gives specific eases of grain raising, fruit~ripening and flower growing to establish his rather sur- prising claim. One man, he says, made $8,00o by cultivating few acres ot oats. We shall probably have purse filled visitors coming back from the Yukon who will tell us, when we ask
 where they struck "pay dirt" that they struck, it with blow and reaped golden harvest of grain which brought fancy prices in that isolated country. Still this cannot be done often or for long, as this is g field in which competition will be easy and sure. Montreal Star.

The ori- ental fortune teller and the palmist are doing a rushing business as well as the canvassers and booths. The stage en- tertainment was good, one of the features being songs by a double quar- let of St Ann's choir, entitled "On the River" and a numerous song, "Goosey Gander." They were well sung, To- night fine entertainment is promised. Among those who will appear are MT Ryan, in song. Mrs Rou1eau and Mr Jackson in duet, and quartet in which the Messrs J. Jackson, G.

Feara That New York Legislature Ys
 Hopelessly DeadlocAed.


 Hopelessly Dendlocked.
 ALBANY, N. r., April 21.-With & calendar of fifty pages, the largest thus far this session, and business sufficient to keep the members busy until mid night at least the senate adjourned a few minutes after o'clock last night without transacting much business
 The motion to adjourn was made by Senator Nathaniel A. Elsberg and was carried by the Democrats, with Sena- tors Bracket, Brown and ElsbSrg Reps.) voting in favor of the measure and the Republican senators, headed by Senator Raines, voting against it. The sudden adjournment after half hour session created considerable dis cussion regarding the motive of Sena- tor Elsberg in holding up the business of the senate during these the closing hours, when every minute is precious
 Senator Elsberg when asked his req son Eaid
 :No particular reason, but I am sick, and if this motion was not carried I would have gone to my hotel and to bed anyway" Senator John Raines was less reti- cent He said:
 ''It's Elsberg's coroners bill, I guess. He wanted to show what power he had. He can go on doing this thing right along if the Democrats will vote with him. If the appropriation and supply bills don't go through there will have to be an extra session. Then Brown, you know, doesn't want re- gent appointed in place of the late Martin |. trownsend''
 The Democrats voted to adjourn be- cause the Niagara Falls charter aHssnd- ment bill was to have come up on final passage. The independents voted to adjourn, it is understood, principally Q help Elsberg in his fight for the coso- ners bill. An extra session of the legis- lature may be necessary if the block ade is to continue.
 Governor Odell in a message to the legislature urged the appointment of a commission to consider the various propositions looking toward educa tion- al unifica tion
 AsSemblyman Palmer of Gchoharie, minority leader, immediately after the reading of the message introduced a bill providing for the election by the people of the state superintendent of public instruction for term of fouF years, with salary of $4O0O. The election is to take place at the time and in the manner of election of other state officers The bill was referred to the rules committee.

Arrest of supposed Bogus Mercantile
 Agency Broker vasaueE.
 HAVANA, April 21. - Transactions that are alleged to constitute frauds upon merchants in London, Paris and Frankfurt to the extent of $50o,O 600 were developed as result of the ar rest here of Santos Vasquez, who con ducted merchandise brokerage busi- ness in Havana under the name of the Mutual Mercantile Agency of New York. Complaint was made by the German consul here, acting on behalf of merchants in Frankfurt
 It is alleged that Vasquez had quan- titles of foreign goods shipped to Ha- vana during the last six months, giv- ing in payment ninety day drafts on Fruhling Bros of London. This firm accepted the drafts, but refused pay msnt when due, saying the Havana house had not sent it money. Mexican merchants also are reported to have baen yictimized.
