Wilkes succeeded William 1T. Van Bunnell and is known to play goers as careful. palnstaklng and courteous manager. Mir. Hendricks. the house treasurer. has held that office for number of years and will continue in that capacity under the new regime.
 Associated with the above men toned active managers. are Morris Steinert and Judge Bronson. The connection of these two men with such a venture is sufficient proof of It's merit and stands as guarantee of the excellence of every offering 10 be seen at the house this season.
 An innovation of the new manage ment Is an unalterable scale of prices Every attraction brought to tho Grand opera house will be played un- der one and the same scale of admis- sion, ranging from fifteen to seventy five cents throughout the house with the exception of the boxes.
 The enforcement of this policy would prove a gigantic task to others less determined but the new company will not step aside from this fixed plan. This policy, moreover, is to he strengthened by the bringing here of regular dollar and a half attractions. Tn order to do this the local manage ment has 10 buy the entire rights of the offering for the length of its ap- pearance in this city and is then able 10 play the piece at any price it sees At.
 This course was the only one open In order to secure Jules Murry's brill liant attraction. Marrying Mary which opens here Monday night next for an engagement of one week Mir. Murry positively refused to allow his company to appear at less than the high scale of prices and the entire attractive was consequently bought

Miss Alice Fleming to Wear sheath
 Gown in "Zaya."

Gown In "Zaya."
 To Alice Fleming who Is to be the new leading lady of the Poll Stock Co. will fall the honor of exhibiting the first sheath gown worn in public in New Haven. The event will take place during the opening of "Zaza." which Is to hold the boards at Polls next week.
 The gown which is now being made for Miss Fleming Is of tan cloth and is after the correct sheath or dlrectolre model It Is possible that during the regular theatrical season other sheath gowns win be worn but Miss Fleming will have the distinction of revealing the first seen In public in this city. Some of the local stores have been taking orders for sheath gowns of late, but thus fnr no woman has had the courage to appear In public with one. Miss Fleming, however, does not laci the courage, for she sees no reason why the sheath gown should not be popular.
 "Assuredly," said Miss Fleming: I should not even think of wearing this much discussed gown if l thought 1t were In any way improper do not think lt Is even remotely go. In fact think the sheath gown has been abus- ed by sensational journalists and funny men who have tried to make it ridicu- lous. The sheath gown which I am to wear next week has an exceedingly handsome skirt It hangs gracefully and am sure will be admired by sen- sible women who will see nothing out of the way in It. am quite pleased that l am to have the distinction of being the first actress to wear one I predict that will not be the last

THE CHOICE
 OF THE WEST
John Hays Hammond for
 ViCezPresidenCy.
The Famous Mining En- gineer Would Not De- cline Republican NOmi- nation.

Washington. June 2.-After consid- eration of the suggestion of his west ern friends, John Hays Hammond has decided to enter the contest for the nomination for vice president on the republican ticket.
 He is being urged by his friends on the ground that he is a Californian by birth, and has an intimate knowledge of all problems, political and economic affecting the west.
 He is now a resident of Gloucester Mass. Mir. Hammond was formerly connected with the Guggenheim min ing company, but has no connection with the smeltihg trust. Hammond has the advantage, 1t is urged of a strong following among business men, and this. it is considered. my be an important feature of his candidacy.
 For the past year Hammond has been engaged independently as a min ing engineer without any connection with the mining companies.
 John B. Montgomery. of Colorado. will leave for Chicago tomorrow to es- tablish headquarters in the Auditorium Annex in the interest of the candidacy of Hammond.

THE BULL MOVEMENT
 NtARIkG THE LIMIT
Though Activity Yesterday Was
 Great There Were Signs of Strain.

New York, June "A bull move ment in stocks showed some evidence of overstrain today. During the first hour activity was greater than had been witnessed in considerably over a year. Transactions in Union Pa cific were specially heavy, a thous- and shares being the customary unit of sales in an aggressive advance to 150.
 As 212 per cent dividend had been deducted from the price since it sold at 151h last month, tOday's prices really represent the highest of the year. At 150 such a flood of selling orders was encountered that it proved insurmountable to a fur ther advance.
 A sharp rise in Missouri Pacific and some other Gould stocks was partly the outgrowth of reiterated reports that a reorganization of some properties now under way or said to be in contemplation, would strengthen the cOherency of the group and introduce new backing A good effect was produced on specu- lative sentiment by reports of a re sumption of mill activity in New England. Stocks closed firm with some recovery from the reaction.

may be the lot of the republican legis- lature to send a democrat to the sen ate. Already there is talk of defection from the ranks of the Statement No. l" legislators and it is possible that in the seven months intervening be- fore the session of the legislature some plan may be devised to defeat Cham berlain and select a republican.

Portland. June Ex-Governor George F. Chamberlain, democrat, is the choice of the people of oregon for the United States senatorship to succeed Charles w Fulton, republican, and a republi- can legislature has been chosen to elect him. How large Chamberlain's majority vii be over his opponent Judge Henry M. Cake, republican, it is hard to say at this stage of the county. but from returns at hand it is believed that it will exceed 1000 or may go to 1900.
 Chamberlain's victory is more in the nature of a personal triumph. oregon is nominaIly republican. Chamberlain has twice been elected governor. The selection of Chamberlain by the peo- pie is but a preliminary step to the senatorship. Tn Oregon, candidates for the legislature align themselves either in the -sstatement No. l" column or in the "anti-statement No. T. column. statement No. l" is a pledge to sup port in the legislature the candidate having the endorsement of the people.
