have been astonished at what | have found in Manhattan.
You have here mines and the making Of mines. You have under
way three mills with which to reduce your low grade ore, and in
the meantime you have been doing some shipping of high grade.
You have a wonderful mineral zone, wider than that of Goldheld,
and you have wonderful lodges. Your people are energetic and
have shown their faith in the ground by putting their money into
it. You have ample showing to warrant the spending of millions
of dollars to demonstrate what the country has at depth.-lsidore
H. Mayer, a New York capitalist, at the meeting of the Manhat-

MANY THOUSAND
PEOPLE ATTEND
GREAT CIRCUS

Many thousand people visited Ringing
Brothers great circus yesterday afternoon
and evening. The show is undoubtedly
seen here, and everyone present seemed
satisfied. There was something doing
continually; and, fortunately. there weae
no vexatious waits between the acts,
there being a systematic handling
throughout and symmetry OF action at
al times I'm every part of the big tent
Every circus has it's performing ele-
plants, but the mastodons do not often
include a musical bell act In their roper
toire. Acrobats have always been plenty
at the circus. but acrobats that jump
down-tairs on their heads. without the
use OF their hands. that render bell-ring-
ing harmonies as mere incidental 20 a
head balancing act, and that do several
other amazing stunts. are not the part OF
every circus as they are this.
The bicycle and slack wire performing
at the show include some of the greatest
In the world. Aerial performers who
swing from a flying trapeze and are
caught by their partners in midair have
long been feature Of the circus. but the
man who does two somersauts and
twist before engaging his partners hands
and who turns two and one-half times
in midair is not travelling with every cir
Gus.
The feminine performers did excellent
work. Very few feats of daring, prowess
or skill were accomplished by the male
members of the various troupes that were
not duplicated by the women.
There were novelties galore In the
clown line. and the funny men brought
out the laughter There seemed to be no
essential variance in the degree of per-
fection attained. whether human agility
or animal intelligence happened TO be the
thing that was on exhibition.
Several other features. too numerous 10

riding by performers OF both sexes. the
clever performances OF educated horses.

with races, and they prove very interest

SHOE MACHINE CD.
To CHANGE FORM
Of CONTRACTS

Boston, June 5.-President Sidney
w. Winslow OF the United Shoe Ma
chlnery company has issued the follow
ing circular TO the customers OF the
company In Massachusetts,;
THE contracts under which the COM
pany has done business since It's organ
iZation has been believed by it's di-
rectors TO be for the best interests
OF the company. of the shoe manufac-
turers and the dealers. OF the shoe
workers and OF the public.
Their belief in the advantages Sc
cured by such contracts to all parties
interested has not been shared by the
Massachusetts legislature before the
Joint committee on the judiciary. TO
which the company submitted it's meth
DDS OF leasing machines and as fully
as the time permitted explained it's
contracts and its reasons for adopting
them.
THE company also endeavored TO
make IL clear to individuals in the sem
ate and house why II believed that
there should be no legislation on the
subject in view OF the great prosperity
OF the shoe industry i'm the state.
and as the shoe manufacturers In the
state had made no complaints about the
company's plan OF doing business
which Il was not willing to consider.
anxious to remedy.
"The United Shoe Machinery cor
poration has never had any intention
of ceasing to manufacture or supply
shoe machinery in Massachusetts.
1T still believes that the recent act
aimed at the company IL not in the
interest OF the public, and the fact
that the great majority OF the men
who are engaged in building up and
managing the shoe factories in this
state are also of the same opinion.
affords strong support of the position
of the company.
"The company proposes to continue
it's business in this state, under such
contracts as shall be acceptable to its
customers and permitted by law. 1t
will require some time to secure opin-
ions OF counsel as to the effect OF the
act upon the present forms OF contract
and to prepare new forms. Meanwhile
the company can only assure its Gus
toners in this state that any delay In
furnishing them additional machines
will be as brief as possible"

SHOT GUN ENDS
WHARF DISPUTE
At NEWPORT

Shooting ended dispute between Capt.
William Champion and Street Commits
sioner ]. X. Sullivan OF Newport over
property rights in that city yesterday.
The controversy has been one of many
months and Is In regard TO the rights of
the two men on and about Kinsley's
wharf, which Mr.. Sullivan purchased
about two years ago. Capt. Champion in
troduced shot gun into the dispute and
that Mr.. Sullivan was not injured when 1t
was fired was probably because he stoop-
ed just at the instant the trigger was
pulled.
Both men had been the best OF friends
for many years, but when Mr.. Sullivan
purchased the wharf property and ex-
tended the wharf out to the harbor line
and made other improvements, a dispute
arose as to the rights OF each, for Mr..
Champion is the proprietor OF a large
number OF pleasure launches and other
boats moored at the wharf. Capt. Cham
pion's fleet of boats has been moored at
the wharf for many years and about a
year ago he purchased what is known as
the MARYLAND estate, on which he lives,
and which he claimed carried with IL the
right to extend to the harbor line IL he
cared to do so. 1t is over this particular
Capt. Champion has thought that he
could use a pier south OF his building TO
better advantage and the piles for this
he started TO drive yesterday morning.
Mr.. Sullivan ordered his steam lighter
into the slip and as fast as the piles were
driven by Capt. Champion they were haul
ed up by the men OF the lighter, under
the command of Mr.. Sullivan.
Capt. Champion asked his wife to step
into the house and get his double-barreled
shotgun. 1t was leveled by Capt. Cham
plon at Mr.. Sullivan. He did not move.
The gun was discharged. the shot pass
ing over Mr.. Sullivan's head The latter
believes that Capt. Champion shot direct
ly at him. but the captain says that he
did not, nor had he any Intention of
shooting Mr. Sullivan. This ended the ar
fair on the wharf, for both OF the con-
testants thought the matter had gone
much too far
Later In the day Mr.. Sullivans attor-
ney called at the police station and en-
tered formal complaint against Capt.
Champion. 1t is probable that no more
piles will be driven until Mr. Sullivan and
Capt. Champion have settled the matter
OF their property rights.
