ESCAPED IN HURDY CURDY
Story That Russe Was Shipped to New
 York as Freisht.

Hartford, June o7.-Did Rus so. the murderer. leave Hart ford in the bowels of a hurdy-gurdv V Ihats the story being told about town. The tale is plausible for many reasons. but the police say that they don't know anything about such a thing.
 According to the story hurdy- gurdy, hand organ or street piano was shipped to this city from New York a day or two after the murder. It never appeared on the streets here and q few days afterward it was shipped back to New York. It was just as heavy when it went back as when it came, but it was burdened with different tunes. ac- cording to the story.
 When the piano came it was fresh from the hands of the maker and could produce at the dictation of the dial on the end all the most popular ballads. When it went back if couldn't sing any, thing better than the fever-and-ague music from composite of all the Ital- ian operas.
 The reason that the organ had changed it's tune was. says the tale, that it's in'ards had been changed. In place of the strings and cylinders were the arms. feet, head, trunk and heart of Joseph Russo, all i'll good order and in tune. The organ had been taken to q house on Charles street where the original insides had been taken out and Russo thrust in. It was then sent back to New York.
 As a proof of this story of Russo's hitherto mysterious escape. it is said that the rejected insides of the ma chine had been found here and the out side in New York. The police say that they do not know anything about the story or any true clue that 1t could have grown from.

THE CONNECTICUT.
Addition of Torpedo Tubes Cause of
 Delay in Construction.

The Brooklyn Eagle announces that September % has been decided upon as the day on which the biggest and presumably the best battleship in the United States navy, the Connecticut, now under construction at the Brook lyn navy yard, will be cut loose from her ways and launched into the water of Wallabout channel Already pre- parations are under way to insure a proper celebration of an event that IS of such importance to our navy. Not only as the largest and most powerful vessel of the navy will the Connecti- cut make her appeal but as the only first class battleship constructed by Uncle Sam himself.
 Indirectly the Russo-Japanese war has been responsible for a serious de1 lay in the progress of the work. Ow- ing to the demonstration or the iln- mense value of torpedoes that has been given by the war in the east, the navy department issued an order stop ping certain features of the work on the ship. It is proposed to equip the Connecticut with four underwater torpedo tubes, that were not provided for in the original specifications. The installation of these will make neces- sary a complete change in the con strrlction of certain portions of the ship. The naval authorities have not yet reached a final decision as to the installation of the tubes, and until they do no progress can be made on certain parts.
 At the present time the stern is nearly all closed in. The struts and rudder posts have all been bored. This is a feature of the work that required considerable time Many of the bulk heads are already in position. Sev- enty-two of the water-tight compart- ments have been tested and, as a tell ing evidence of the quality of the work that Is being done. it will suf- fee to state that in only one instance was there the slightest leakage. 4 good deal of the armor plate has been put in place Work on the sea valves is under way and while all of the tur- Tets are under construction, several of them are already we'll along toward completion. Material has kept com ing into the yard at Ia satisfactory rate and no delay is anticipated from this source.
 Captain T. A. B. Smith of the steam engineering department says that the Connecticut's engines are nearly all ready. They are set up in the big machine shop at the yard and are about ready to be taken down and transferred to the ship. They cannot be put into the ship, however, until after she is launched. The companye constructing the boilers has promised to have them ready by September This is several months ahead of the contract time.

 NEW YORK, June 27.-John Alexan. der Dowie, known, principally to him self, as Elijah III, has arrived here on the Cunard line steamer Lucania, bringing his unkissed son and the sug- gestion of a romance.

WANT CONCERTS
 ON PINE HILL

Some of the residents of the south end of the city hope Mayor Elton will see his way to giving a few concerts on Pine hill during the summer months, and it is hinted too, that with all due respect to the wisdom of the commit tee in charge of the Fourth of July eel ebration that this is the best location available for the display of fireworks. Almost everybody in town could pick out some spot near his own home from where he could see the exhibition, while at the west end grounds few can see the sights without walking long distances. Something of this sort would be greatly appreciated by the neighbors and would be quite an i'm provement to what they are putting up with these times by hilarious fel- lows from all parts of the town who make a stamping ground of the district on Sundays and carry on all kinds Of deviltry A clambake is all right when it is properly conducted, but when it is attended by such undignified exhibi- tions as slugging matches in which the faces of human beings are battered out of recognition and the spectacle or dozens of men half crazed from drink foundering about the streets. then it ceases to be a clambake and should be classed under its proper heading. a drunken orgie It is rather tough on a district where taxes are going up the same as in all other parts of the town to find that it has no better police pro- lection than it had half a century ago, and considerably greater need of it, The saloon has been closed, but some thing infinitely worse has taken ttz place

France Ia Not Satisfied.

PARIS. June 27 Haiti's apology for the insult to the French minister al Port au Prince NJ. Deprez. who was stoned by the palace guard recently, has been received by the foreign office. but does not give satisfaction. It ap- pears to seek to make light of the inci- dent. Officials here are indisposed to assume a belIigerent attitude toward a small power, but they expect Haiti to adequately realize and redress the offense. This contributed to the de- cision to send a warship to Haitian waters.

HAMILTON PARK.
About 500 People Heard Band Concert
 There Saturday Afternoon.

| About five or six hundred persons sat on the sloping hills or wandered through the shady paths of Hamilton park on Saturday afternoon while 1 listening to the first concert which has been given in the park. A program of twelve selections were rendered by the American band, which played in fine manner. The concert was held in the pretty grove in the eastern part or the park bordering the old brass mill road. It is pretty spot. The branch es of many trees stretch forth and unite in loving embrace, affordlng fine shade and forming rampant through which the rays of the sun cannot penetrate Underneath these trees on the soft grass the older folks sat or reclined and listened to the fine music, while the little folks romped merrily about the grove and the delis or padded iE the brook nearby.
 The attendance was affected some what by the threatening weather. Several policemen were in attendance but there was little need of their ser
  The persons who took stroll through the park on Saturday were agreeably surprised at some of the changes whick have been made. At the entrance on the plank road near East Main street the hill has been partly cut away and the land gently slopes toward Silver street and the plank road Grass seed has been T laxe s1I ready begun to appear. '1s will make straight until a point north Of the plant of Roger < Brothers when it winds toward the east and runs paral- Tel with the body of water known as the 'Spoony Ditch" After returning east for several hundred yards, the winding road, for it might be termed such, turns north and makes it's exit from the park on the plank> road near the old brass mill road The banks on the roadside have been transform cd into gentle slopes in which grass seed has sbeen planted. When the grass has grovN sufficiently the road will be pretty sight. As the pleas ure seekers passed along tN street they were surprised at the charming SIEAGLy dlOllS tue lIHG-pIGLly uellS. lovely hooks, charming woodland, pie turesque hills, shady paths and the ripping brook One of the prettiest spots i'll the park, however, is the grove where the band concert was held. It is an ideal place and a con cert should be given there each week and thus the public will begin to pat ronize the park. Near the east brass mill shop there is diamond where baseball may be played.
 Park Superintendent George Walker bas a number of men employed in making improvements about tEa park. They are fixing the road, making paths through the park, grading and making lawns and many other things. 4 fine piece of work was the draining and cleaning out of the old frog pond. They are doing good work under the direction of Superintendent Walker Edward Mcdonald is special constable at the park.
 With the expenditure of several thousand dollars in increasing the beauty of the natural picturesqueness lof the park with artificial improve ments Waterbury will have a park where the women and children will love to spend several hours each day when the thermometer is up among the nineties.

THE REASON.

We do not "tie up" to any one make. We buy goods on their merits and not on their advertisements.
 Tie best we can get in style and quality is what we are al ways on the watch for, and in these days of competition no one manufacturer Is allowed to hold all the good things.
 This applies to shoes more than to any other line. Shoes for men, women and children.
