Grand Moonlight Sail.

Well it will soon be here. What? Why th- moonlight sail given by the Elite Club Wednesday. Aug. 4. That's what everybody in town is saying. They are all waiting for it. This will be the one big event of the summer season. This is not one of those com mon sails around the sound excursions where all you can do is siI and look at one another. There's Harvey's full string orchestra to liven things up and then the concert to be held on board on the return will be best, singers and dancers galore. Among them will be Neary & Harvey without a doubt the finest pair of dancers Bridgeport has ever turned out. This is their last local appearance. With all this and the landing at Roton Point where the prize waltz will be held one could not wish for a more pleasant evening" Don't forget the day and date and come along and get moonstruck.

DEPUTY SHERIFF WOUNDED IN
CONFLICT
MEN ESCAPE WITH A HAUL OF
RICH MINERAL
One of Alleged Gang Accused of Loot
Ing Shaft of Stray Dog Mine
Is Believed to Be
Injured

MANHATTAN, New, Oct. 14.-In a
battle at the Stray Dog mine here be-
tween a band of high-graders and a
sheriff's posse Deputy Sheriff Martin
son was wounded. 1t is believed that
one of the robbers was shot, but he was
carried away by his companions, who
escaped in the darkness with a large
quantity of rich ore.
The gang of high graders which sue
ceeded today in getting away with a
haul of rich ore at the Stray Dog mine
near here, after wounding Deputy
Sheriff Martinson, was detected at
work 800 feet below the surface by the
sheriffs posse.
The high graders passed into the
Stray Dog mine through an abandoned
shaft. Notified by a watchman who
saw the light the sheriff's force walt
ed at the mouth of the shaft for the
members of the gang to come out.
A demand by Deputy Sheriff Martin
son for their surrender was answered
by a fusillade of shots and the officer
fell with scalp wound.
The deputy sheriffs returned the IRE
and the robbers dashed for the near
by timber, dropping one sack of high
grade ore in their flight.
Fifty shots were exchanged in the
battle, and it is believed one Of the
robbers was hit.
Dense darkness prevailed and no
description of the number or appear
ance of the gang could be obtained. A
posse is making a search for the rob-
bers today.

JACQUES |, EMPEROR OF
SAHARA, GIVES UP AGENT
Trust Company Which Does Million
aires Business Not Worried, as
His Attorney Is Satisfied

NEW YORK, Oct. 14--Jacques lie
Baudy, who embarrassed the French
foreign ministry several years ago by
trying to annex the Sahara desert TO
France, and who has been in this city
for about a year, has notified the
newspapers a certain Wall street trust
company is no longer his financial
agent.
The trust company, however, is not
worried, as LIE Baudys attorney is
satisfied with it's service.
LIE Baudy who still styles himself
as his majesty, Jacques I, emperor
of the Sahara" is the son of an old
French sugar king who left an inn
mense fortune. He went to North
Africa and there attempted. on several
occasions, to establish an empire, once
providing himself with a considerable
armed force, a cabinet and other court
dignitaries. When France threatened
to send several regiments after him.
he became discouraged and went to
America.
The president of the trust company,
acting for him here, says his fortune
is at least $12, 100000. This official
credits him with having made $1,000,O00
in the New York stock market last
fall.

6The Socialist"

Guy Thornes new novel, 1.-THE So
cialist," which the Putnams will pub
lish in the fall, is a dramatic portrayal
of the social unrest and the clash of
class on class. The author burrows
deep into society and unearths the un-
suspected suffering there hidden. The
narrative is brilliant varied and
throughout propelling, with a dramatic
fire that stirs ones blood and a pathos
that grips ones throat. The bishop of
London preached a sermon. upon Mr.
Thorne's previous novel, "When it
Was Dark" One wonders whether the
present novel with its even wider hui
man appeal will not receive as illus
trious a sponsorship.

HOTEL WRECKED BY GANGS
OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Windows Smashed and Furniture
Broken in Glass Battle in
New York

NEW YORK, oct. 14.-As a result of
a clash between New York university
students, the Grove hotel, at the north
end of Van Cortlandt park is d partial
wreck today. More than 100 freshmen
chased half a dozen sophomores off the
campus and took them to an upper
room in the hotel. There the captives
were made to push pennies across the
floor with their noses and row imagin-
ary boats with toOthpicks.
The freshmen had just painted the
numerals 1913" on the faces of their
prisoners when a crowd of rescuing
sophomores charged the hotel. In the
battle the invaders were driven off, but
they soon returned, and in a few min
utes nearly every window in the hotel
was broken by stones and empty bot
ties. Students inside the hotel replied
by hurting the furniture out of the
windows at the besiegers. The battle
was still on when the police arrived,
but all escaped before any arrests
could be made.

"De Profundis"

The remains of Oscar Wilde, which
were buried at Badnaux in 1900, were
transferred on July 20 to the Pere
Lachaise cemetery, where Robert Ross,
the dead writer's literary executor, had
secured a plot. A brief religious SER
vice was held at the chapel, and was
attended by a small group of rela
tives and friends.
Thus have come, we trust, to their
permanent earthly abiding place, the
remains of that unfortunate man, the
dismal ending of whose brilliant career
is set forth with such soul searching
analysis in "De Profundis." Mr.. Ross,
whose interest in Wilde extends to his
works as well, has included in a forth
coming edition of De Profundis' a
large amount of material not contained
in previous editions of the book. This
new material is made up in part of the
letters written from Reading Gaol,
which illustrate Wildes varying moods
in prison. 1t includes also the two re-
markable contributions to the Daily
Chronicle on the subject of prison life.
The Putnams will publish this en-
larged edition of DE Profundis" in
