nuMpING IN NrAcARA

The federal grand jury has made an
 exceptionally interesting report on the subject of dumping debris in the Ni-
 agara river Dumping is now being
 done at the head of Grand Island and
 at other points in connection with
 Buffalo harbot Improvements and the construction of the Lockport water
 works. The grand jury finds that this
 dumping is impeding some useful channels and that 1t tends to divert
 water from the American to the Can adian side, thus lessening the amount which goes over the American fall, |endangering the scenery and reducing the amount available for power on this side of the river. The dumping is all done under permits from the war de-
 partment Consequently, no evidence is found of violation of law, but the grand jury urged that the permits be revoked and that other considerations than navigability be taken into ac- |oount in granting new ones
 The report should have an import ant effect on the authorities at Wash ington, especially If the local repre- |sentatives in Congress take it up and see that it receives the attention 1t de- serves. Buffalo Express.

OPEN NEW PICTURE SALON
AT GAMBLE DEsMoND'S
Company Announces an Added Attraction on New York
 Model.

The Gamble-Desmond Go. announces the formal opening of the firms new picture gallery for to-day. The old picture gallery has completely lost it's identity and "a new extremely modern picture salon has taken it's place.
 With the new arrangement nearly every picture in the gallery is shown.
 In fact, it has been modelled alter one of the handsomest picture galleries in New York.
 The pictures are all on eye-levels, the smaller ones being shown on dark green swinging screens and the larger ones on brilliantly lighted booths. With this arrangement each picture is shown to best advantage and buyers can get some idea of how the picture will look when hung at home.
 The floor space of the new gallery is covered with large rugs, and is unob- structed, so that there is plenty of room for promenading and looking al the pictures leisurely.
 The Gamble Desmond Co. has plan- ned special advance Christmas sals of pictures in honor of the formal op- ening of the gallery. Nearly all the pictures are new and are priced lower than they will be later. It will pay those who are needing pictures foI Christmas to secure them during this sale.

SYMPHONY SALE IS LARGE
FOR EVENT TOMORROW
Mary Hissem de Moss Will be the Soloist at the Mu-
 sicale.

The musical event of the week will be the second concert of the New Ha- ven Symphony orchestra in Woolsey Hall tomorrow afternoon, and the hall will undoubtedly be packed to the doors.
 The soloist will be the beautiful Mary Hisseln de Moss, the festival soprano with voice of exquisite caliber and art of superior rank. At the Cincinnati festival she won such brilliant suc- cess that the Times-star says of her: Among sucn brilliant artists as Ma dame Schumann- -Helnek, Ben Davies and David Bisplaln, it is a pleasure to record from an artistic point of view, that Mrs. Hissem de Moss was one of the chief contributors to the success of the evening"
 All over the country the bell-like love- Illness of tone, the grace, dellcacy and good taste, and the artistic attainments such as phasing, intonation, delivery and intelligent interpretation have raised the praise of critics For tomorrow afternoon she has chosen two solos of widely divergent types, the fiorid "Polonaisep from "Mignon," and the dramatic "Dich Theure Halle from Tannhauser. Of the Symphony with which the program will open, many interesting things have been said. Tckaikowski spoke of his fourth Symphony as his best production. Rubenstein gave the work it's first hearing, but safanov, now conductor of the New York Phil harmonic, afterwards revived the Sym phony and erpreted it far better
 This Symphony shows a sense of hu- nor, quality rare in the Russian composers productions. "Humor of a gentle description peeps out from the sndante and becomes more marked and lively in character in tho Schergo, one of the most captivating movements Tschaihowskl ever wrote. The finale consists of variations upon the Russian folk song, Tn the Fields There Stood Birch Tree"
 The Fourth was the one chosen for performance by the company before the New York Philharmonic. It is full of novelty and of great charm. The sale of seats for the concert will continue this morning from Ii until o'clock, and again tomorrow from Il a. m. until the concert begins al 4:to.

A NOVEL GARD TRAY.
Use Found for the Engraved Copper Plate of the Wedding Invitation.

Plate of the Wedding Invitation. The copper plates from which we'd ding invitations are engraved are no longer consigned to the category of things that were, says the Washington Post. The very newest wrinkle for the bride is to have the plate saved for her and converted into an article that combines sentiment and utility
 And why? The copper plate costs anywhere from $10 to S15, and here tofore it has been disearded-consider- ed just about as useful as an empty champagne bottle or a check for seat at last nights theatrical performance. Not until some ingenious soul discov-
 cred that the bride was being defraud- ed of her rights to a certain square of copper did it occur to any one to make l inquiry as to it's whereabouts.
 Having realized that it is hers for the asking, the up-to-date bride pro- ceeds to take possession of it. And
 there isn't anything much prettier, by the way, than a piece of carefully bur
 nished copper.
 She doesn't put it away with the rest
 of her wedding treasures--her white
 satin slippers, bit of orange blos-
 soms or prayerbook bound in white Ivellum, as her mother or her grand lmother would have done, Not she. She hies her to jeweller and has a
 card tray made of it. The only thing necessary in the transformation Is to round off the corners, bend up the edges just bit with an extra dent on either side of each corner and she has a little tray on which all who run may lread--if they take the trouble to hold lit before mirror---her wedding invi- tation or her announcement as the case may be.
 Or she may be bride with a certain amount of old-fashioned sentiment in her makeup and ideas not so far re- moved from the orange blossom and satin slipper period If so, she has a l frame made from her copper plate. so that it is all ready for the photograph of herself in her wedding gown.
 The center of the plate is cut out, leaving border about one inch wide. | This forms tre frame proper. The part
 that has been cut, on which is the en-
 graving, forms the supporting back and is fastened to the frame with
 hinges, the engraved side turned st
 that 1t isvisible when one looks at the
 reverse side of the frame.
 A border of orange blossoms is en-
 graved on the surface of the frame,
 and @ pretty idea, one that brings out
 to the very best advantage every point
 of this little conceit, is to place it di-
 rectly in front of mirror. Then not
 only the picture of the bride, with its
 orange blossom frame, is visible, but
 the engraving on the back is reversed
