CROWDSATTEnD
OPENING Of
c. 0. STORE
Most Elaborate Display of Mil
inery and Mems Clothing
Ever Seen in the Camp.
Continues Today.

Anything that the Copper Queen
store undertakes is nearly always a
success; their annual openings in
the past have been marked with all
the interest the unusual display of
goods has merited. But the opening
yesterday at Bisbee's biggest, busiest
and best store was a surprise to the
management and to the crowds who
attended.
During the day. from the opening
of the doors until the close. the
store was filed with men and women
looking over the biggest and most
attractive assortment of mems and
women's apparel ever shown in the
camp. The lineup of the goods
had been announced in three large
adds in different sections of the Re
view, and Judging from those who
were there yesterday, there were few
prospective buyers of the camp who
failed to read and attend
These ~ announced the annual
fan opening and exhibit of the latest
and most exclusive fashions in wo-
mems outer apparel, millinery and
accessories, fall opening display of
fall and winter fashions in correct
clothes for men and young men, to-
gether with sale of 500 women's
and misses Oxfords.
The enlarged section devoted TO
the display and sale of millinery was
thrown open yesterday for the first
time, and yesterdays opening was to
the ladies', the most important style
event of the season and will deter
mine to large extent the styles that
will prevail for that time. The new
models, all of them, as produced by
the latest artists, are on display in
the ample store room devoted to mil
linery.
One of the novelties Of the display
yesterday, and one which especially
appealed to the women, was the large
number of hats, of which there were
| only one of kind. There were
nearly 500 of these, each of them dis
tinct in itself.
| The show windows, which have
been especially prepared for tn open
ing, which is to continue today and
tomorrow, will compare fayorably
with those of the large cities, and
are. credit to the advertising man
ager, Mr. Conley. The sale In wo
mems and misses shoes continues
along with the opening, and the large
sales of yesterday in the millinery
and other departments are expected
{ to be duplicated today and tomorrow

DEPRESSION AT YALE.
Applications for Summer Work Have
 Fallen of Considerably.

New Haven, May 2.-Effects of the industrial depression have been dis closed in the bureau of Self Help of Yale university by the considerably decreased number of applications from persons seeking the work of students during the summer vacation There has also been an increase O.: the number of applications from the senior class of the Scientific school for places as teachers. This suggests that outside applications for new graduates of the school to i'll engi- neering places has diminished owing to the hard times. In tho Graduate school where the number of scholar ships and fellowships given out each year number about ninety. there has this year been the unprecedented num- her of 115 applications. or some 70 more than usual. Most Of the schoI- arships and fellowships are from uni versity funds and are awarded for merit.

EAGLES HALL REM0DELED.
For Rent for Social Purposes, Also
 Storage Rooms,

Eagles hall, formerly Jacques au- ditorium, can now be rented for ban Quets, dances. whist parties and in fact for any entertainment by day, week or month Since the closing Of the polo season the hall has been thoroughly renovated, the floor has been cleaned and restored to its for rler excellent condition, new electri- cal effects have been installed, and the electric fans make the hall one of the coolest amusement halls in the state. The report that the Eagles
 lease had expired was wrongly circu- lated and they wish 1t understood that they hold the lease until Septem- Der, 1909, and no one has an option on any part of it for the remaining period. They would also call atten- ton to the lower floor. 100 feet square. which is for rent for storage or otherwise at reasonable rates. NJ
 F. Greaney is the agent and will fur nish all the necessary information.

LAND TAX OF s2
Neglect of Mrs Anna Subis 10
 Pay Raises Amount 10 s52.

For not paying land tax of $2' Mrs Anna Subis has financial load of $52 on her shoulders now, Judg- ment for the amount of the tax with costs having been granted to the city against her in the district court to-day by Judge Peasley. It was said that everything possible was done to induce this woman to pay her tax. She lives in the west and the number of registered letters, re- ceipts attached to the writs, showed the amount of correspondence Tax Collector Reeves had with her be- fore he placed the lien on her prop erty, which is two lots on GrandyieW Heights.
 This case, though, is not without a parallel for costs. Some time ago Attorney P. l.. Wood had school tax of S1 cents against party Ill Simonsville, and as judgment was given against the party, it cost him $S1, or 100 per cent more than the tax itself, before it was paid.
 Still, on the other hand, it costs no more, and in some cases far less, to secure judgment in suit where thousands are involved. Last week judgment for $25,000 with costs was granted the town of Watertown against B. H. Mattoon, and the costs in that case did not exceed $25.

TRAIN WAS DYNAMITED.
The Work of Tramp Who Wa:
 Seeking Revenge.

Butte, Mont, May 2.-Eastbouud Burlington train No was dynamited near the Northern Pacific station heer at 11:37 o'clock last night. The explosion caused the first, or helper engine, to leave the rails, but il plowed along for few hundred feet without turning over The second engine crashed into the banks south of the track, few lengths from where the explosion occurred, and turned over. Every person on the train has been accounted for except Engineer Bussy of the second engine who is supposed to be buried under his locomotive.
 Carl Mange, who was riding blind baggage was taken from the mass of timbers under which he was buried His arm and leg were broken. Fire man George Ehle of the second en- zine was severely scalded. Both were hurried to the hospital. Express Messenger ]. B. Valentine was seri- ously cut by flying grenade. Hi. escape from death in his car is con sidered remarkable.
 Sheriff Charles Henderson and the police have begun an investigation. The dynamiting is believed to be the work of some tramp seeking revenge for being elected from train.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The regular meeting of the Brooklyn Athletic club will be helt tomorrow.
 Miss Helen Reilly formerly of this section, but now of Bridgeport was visitor in Brooklyn yesterday
 A dance will be given this even. ing by tn members of the Brooklyn Athletic club at their rooms on Bank street.
 Tony Brunato while drilling . rock in the rear of his home on South Leonard street last evening struck his left hand with the hammer and bad ly smashed his thumb and first fin. ger. ...
 --Michola Manchoyitch, who was shot last Saturday evening while stealing chickens from Ala Shed rick's coop, is improving at the Wa. terbury hospital, and has recovered much from the shock which followed his injury.
 Although Slosher, the Brooklyn boy, had been doing well in practice no one expected to see him sent against Springfield so early in the season. Although the Ponies found the Brooklyn boys curves freely at times, his showing was ont so bad and with more experience he will dc much better.
 Three of the big automobiles of the Corbin company of New Britain were in Brooklyn this morning. The cars were open and the works of the machines were visible. It is said that the men in charge of the cars ride over the toughest roads they can find in order to test the machines. Won der if that's the real reason they skinned over the Belgian blocks on Bank street?
 The Brooklyn Improvement so- ciety will accomplish much more by holding meetings such as that of last evening than trying to bully" the city government in granting peti- tions.. They seem to be on the right track and since they now have the confidence of the city officials, they should be able to get along very wei with the powers that are and receive at least their share of improvements.

VOTING ON STRIKE.
Ended at Three 0'Clock-Men Wan
 to Quit Work.

Cleveland, O., May 2.-Voting on the question of strike by employees of the Municipal Traction Co closed at o'clock this morning. The gen. eral sentiment expressed by the men after the close of the polls was in ia vor of quitting work, in order, they said, to enforce the demands of the motormen and conductors of that sec tion of the local consolidation former ly known as the Cleveland Electric for an increase in wages of two cents an hour and other privileges.
 International Vice-President Beh- ner of the Street Car Mems union said
 Not five per cent of the men voted against the strike resolution. The counting of the ballots to-day will be merely formal.
 We have all our plans ready for a strike; there will be no tie-up and little disorder" said General Super intendent Cook of the Municipal com pany."
 The time of the strike, should it be called, will be set by the executive board of the union at noon or later to-day, after the count of the ballots. It will probably be midnight tonight or early Sunday morning. International Vice-President Beh- ner of the Car Mems union explained the mems grievances as follows:
 Disagreement with the company's abrogation of the agreement Feeling that the low fare unionists will drive out their men. Discomfort with the system of charging the men for trans portation, which may amount to as high as "A cents day, even when a man is not working.

THE POLICE COURT.
Man Who Kept the Change Fined S7
 and Costs.

dHu SOSIS.
 Prevailing hard times have made tramps of Edward Cahey and James Howe and put the brand of the county jail upon them. They came to town four days ago in search of work, hop ing to strike something that would enable them to get to their homes in Norwich and perhaps their old jobs back. Yesterday they were arrested for begging They had just left a restaurant on East Main street where they were begging meal when they were taken into custody. Both are strapping young fellows. clean and able to turn q hand at anything, but in the city court to-day they said they could get nothing to do. They were never before arrested they said. Each was given thirty days in iall.
 John Maher was making a living by selling an alleged furniture polish from house to house. Wednesday he sold a bottle of it to Mrs E, Johnson Of West Farm street for twenty five cents. Mrs Johnson did not have the necessary change and she gave him Il dollar bill to pay himself and return her the balance. That was the last she saw of him until yesterday when Officer John Brickel arrested him. Maher had nothing to say for himself and he was fined SI and costs.
 - Mrs Nellie Cleary has been lodging in the police station the past few nights. Last night she was arrested for vagrancy. There appears to be some difference between her and iler husband. She was committed to Brookside for thirty days.

BREACH OF PROMISE
John KiDka Refused Because Mary Didn't Produce Money.

In her suit against John Kinka for breach of promise of marriage, Miss Mary Urbaunavicizute was or dered in the district court at short calendar to-day to file bond of $25. Mary alleges that John played her falsely in this matter of promised marriage, but John on the other hand has his story to tell Part of it is that Mary did not keep her con
 tract and played him falsely, too. She was, he says, to pay him S1 200 as soon as he would produce the li- cense to marry, procuring the same from the office of the town clerk. He contends that he secured the license and showed it to Mary, expecting, ot course, that she would keep her word and come up with the $1,20O. But she had changed her mind The license was piece of paper that was too costly at $1,200 and she to|l John she was not quite ready to wed. So John put the marriage license in his vest pocket knowing that it was good for business at any time, and the first thing he knew, according to his answer in the suit, was that Mary wanted him to marry her. Mary with $1,20O in the palm of her hand outstretched for him to take was a far different proposition than Mary with the $1,200 tucked away some where he was not aware of, and h. respectfully declined to escort her to Hymen's altar, and then came the suit for breach of promise. The bond from Mary to prosecute the suit is to cover possible costs in case the end is unfavorable to her.

CHICAGO THRONGED.
Delegates and Visitors Pour In
 For Convention.

Chicago, June 15.-Republican dele of the most important states accom- panied by bands and bearing flags and favorite-son banners, giving to Chi cago picturesque touches of color and noisy enthusiasm that are an essential part of every national political gather ing. Delegations was from New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The confident enthusiasm of the Ohio delegation was no greater than the demonstrative loyalty of the Pennsylvanians. Most of the Pennsylvanians arrived from the Pittsburg district and members of clubs organized in the interest of Sen ator Knox. whose headquarters are crowded with supporters from home.
 The Ohio visitors are naturally in the happiest frame of mind and con- fident in their expressed belief that nothing can now prevent the nomina- tion of Secretary Taft on the first bal lot
 The arrival of the New York delega- tion on a special train was awaited with special interest. The declarations by Governor Hughes that under no cir cumstances would he accept the nom- ination for the vice presidency and his position with regard to the presi- dency remained the same in that the delegates are responsible to their con stituents and to him, and had to effect of focusing particular attention upon the New York delegation, especially with reference to the attitude to be taken with regard to the vice presi' dency.
 The Pennsylvania delegation has been provided with quite sumptuous headquarters at a hotel and in the Fine Arts building. seats in the audi torium having been removed to make way for the adherents of Senator Knox, who are prepared to carry on a vigorous campaign. The determina tion of the allies to 'carry on the fight all along the line" Is sustaining inter est in the plans of various state dele gations that are bound by instructions for one or another candidate other than MT. Taft.
 It has been decided that Joseph Cotton of Duluth, Minn., will place Frank B. Kellogg in nomination fol the vice presidency and Mir. Kellogg s friends are actively engaged doing all things possible to promote his candi dacy. One of the arguments which they are most vigorously pressing is Governor Johnson may be given the second place on the Democratic ticket and they say If this be done the re suit in Minnesota will become uncer tain.

REMARKABLE FISH STORY
As Bishop Is It's Author It Must Be
 True Tale

Chicago, June 15.-It was a fish story, but it must be true, for it was told by Bishop F. w. Oldham at a rally of Chicago Methodism" held at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church. Three other bishops were present.
 Bishop Oldham comes from the Ma. lay archipelago in the Indian ocean and he has been attending the Metho- dist conference at Baltimore. He was asked by the Chicago Methodist Social union, which held the rally, to deliver an address.
 Just to let you know about the so cial conditions in the islands, I'll tell you how people enjoy life there" he said They build their houses as close to the seashore or rivers as pos sible, and when they wake up in the morning they just prop up window. stick out fishing pole and catch a number of fish for their breakfast without even getting out of bed. Now that is the truth"
 Bishop Oldham then told how in the last quarter of century the church schools in the isla nd had increased from an enrolment of 13 to over 14. 900. He said he hoped the Methodist church soon would establish a college there.
