To those who use carriages and
 horses, the opportunity of the year is
 offered by The Blue Ribbon Horse &
 Carriage Co. of Bridgeport by their midsummer sale of vehicles and har- ness. This sale is for the purpose of reducing their stock into cash before the driving season is over; also to have their floors clear for next years prod
 uct and avoid the accumulation of shop-worn stock. Each vehicle bears a tag plainly marked with original price and present sale price. Nothing will be held back; everything goes. The stock represents all new 1904 work and selection is wide and varied.

For the second of it's Saturday even- ing dramatic readings the Brooklyn Institute chose "RUmeO and Julie t, 1" with Miss Gay Zenola McClaran as its interpreter. This young woman has appeared many times before the Insti- tute, but 1t is safe to say that she has never made better impression than that of last Saturday evening. To begin with, she is young enough to make her impersOnatiOn of Juliet seem perfectly natural, and yet she is gifted enough to make her assumption of the part of the nurse equally correct, and perhaps her quick and clever inter- change of these two characters was one of the most effective bits of her work: She has an almost ventrilo- quistic power of changing her voice from the light tones Of womanto the heavier speaking of men, so the recital was thoroughly we'll balanced and was given with intelligence. She cut but little of the play. From the ball scene to the tomb the interest was not allowed to flag, the balcony scene especially being presented with graphic tenderness and sympathy, and Romeo having all the fascination which he must have possessed to win the heart of his fair hereditary enemy. But 1t is 8 misnomer to call Miss McClaran's monologue reading, for the book is never in evidence, So there is nothing to hamper her freedom of expression or motion. The spontaneous and en- thusiastic applause must have been gratifying to Miss McClaran as show ing her that all the fine points made either in acting or elOcutfon were full ly appreciated.-[Br Brooklyn Eagle Miss McClaran will appear at the Town hall, Saturday evening, July 3, for the benefit of the Newtown Library As ROciatiOn

was July 18th 1904 that Aron Burr
killed Alexander Hamilton in the his
toric duel. He was at that time vice
President under jefferson The tragic
meeting and its results produced a SEN
satlon in both Europe and America
Burr. who was one of the most bril-
liant and remarkable men of his time
practically became an outcast but to
the day OF his death retained a host
Of firm friends
Since that time the literature of the
meeting between these two men would
fill library. 1t had its effect upon
the history and politics Of the United
States.
With the conflicting data now be-
fore one and the numerous writings
of the various advocates of both pa :
ties it is difficult a. this time to form
any correct estimate of the right ~.
wrong side OF the quarrel which res,
ulted in the violent death of one Of
the most distinguished men that Amer
lea has ever produced.
