FOR
 IMPROVING FAYERWEATHER

The final step by which Payer weather's Island becomes owned by the City of Bridgeport to be convert ed into it's great park system was completed today when a warranty deed was given to the city by Marshall E. Morris. The city paid $1O,OO0 for, the strip of land, the last payment of $3,- GOO being made during the past month
 FayerWeather's Island is described as follows: on the north by land now claimed by the City of Bridgeport on the east by Long Island Sound on the south by land of the United States; and on the west by Black Rock HarbOr.
 The conveyance does not include the fences and buildings upon the island which shall be removed by their own CT at any time. The Black Rock light is at the extreme southern point of the island.
 In some future time, not far distant according to plans now maturing with the Park Commissioners Seaside Park will Sbe extended to the Island, with a concrete boulevard the same as now at the park, connecting. span con- meeting the Island with Black Rock is also looked forward to. When such plans are completed, Seaside Park will present one of the finest sea front parks in the country.

Paris, July That Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts, wife of the. New York capi- talist and engineer who is the head of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. of New York. has instituted proceed ings for a separation under the New York law, was admitted here, this afternoon, by Mrs. Shonts' attorney, s. G. Archibald, who is now here. Mrs. Shonts is staying with her daughter, the Duchess Du Chaulnes. and is reported to be prostrated as the result of her marital troubles.
 Archibald refused, today, to give any particulars of the nature of Mrs. Shonts' suit He said, however, that she is not lat present. demanding an absolute divorce, but legal sep aration''
 Mrs. Shonts is reluctant to have the her husband" said Archibald, but conditions are such that she has felt compelled to appeal to the court for relief As both she and her husband are residents of New York, the suit will he brought there. The petition of the supreme court is now in the hands of Leventritte. Cook and Nathan of New York. a copy of which was served on MT. Shonts about fortnight ago. I cannot say whether the summonses in the complaint have yet been filed in the New York courts but if not they will be in the next few weeks

One Sunday Mail
 Collection Only
 Is The Rule Now
Mail Your Letters Before 8 P. M. If You Want to Be
 Sure to Have Them Taken

Beginning tomorrow there will be but one Sunday collection from the mail boxes around the city. The col lection will begin at p. m. and per- sons should make it a point to have their mail in the boxes not later than that time if possible.
 As far as possible, the time at which the carriers may be expected to reach each box will be forecasted on the time cards on the boxes, but the safe rule is to mail your letter before 8 o'clock.
 The reduction in Sunday collections is in conformity with the wishes Of the national department to reduce Sun day work at the post offices as much as possible. In several cities it has been found possible to close the post office to the public on Sundays an idea which does not greatly inconven- fence the public when the public be- comes accustomed to it, and which enables the postal employees to have a day of rest.
 This effort to insure to the carriers and clerks a Sunday to themselves has met with cordial cooperation throughout the United States and it is hoped that Bridgeport will not be backward in that respect.
 In most other cities, the post office departments assign the dates of the annual vacations to the employees. In the local office, the men select the time of their vacations for themselves, the oldest in point of service having first choice of dates. It may be nec- essary to change this rule in the fu- ture for the good of service, as it sometimes happens that men whose services are very valuable are absent on vacation at times when their work is very necessary, but there is no im- mediate change contemplated, and the men are taking their vacations to suit themselves. They are allowed 15 days.

"Thrillers" Lacking
 at the Big Circus

A capacity "tent" witnessed the big Ringing Brothers circus last night, standing room being at a premium. The attendance at the afternoon per- formance was not quite so good
 The Ringing Brothers Circus is a wonderful show. It is huge beyond the dreams of the original circus men; 1t is replete with wonderful feats of horsemanship and acrobatics; the clowns are good, the menageries the biggest ever, the elephants wonderful, and the performance staged with great snap and ginger; at the same time there is something lacking.
 To those who remember the shows that were put on by both the Barnum and Ringing Circuses when the two were in competition, it does not seem that the present day show compares favorably with either. Competition certainly is the life of the amusement business The "thrillers" were notably lacking and their loss was felt by the crowd.

Seth Didn't Care To Come
 Before Court
Saloonkeeper Feared. His Sunday Outing Club Might Come Into Undue Notoriety.

August c. Seith, a saloonkeeper at 62 William street, feared that his Sunday outing club would be unduly humiliated if he were to stand trial in the city court today on the charge of interference with an officer, and rather than face the prosecuting of ficials of the city court, he forfeited @ bond of s10.
 Seith was arrested as the leader of gang who tried to interfere with Andover H. Marshall, a special po- Hceman in the North End, who was acting in an automobile accident last Sunday evening. Seith and his crowd were returning from an outing in the North End when they arrived at the scene of the automobile smash Hap pening to know the driver of the car, they interfered with the special po- liceman, who placed Seith and an- other of tAe gang under arrest. Seith's companionS forefited bail of S25 last Monday. Meanwhile a re- duction of Seith's bail to $1o was granted and he forfeited bonds.

MAGNATE SHONTS' WIFE
 SEEKS SEPARATION FOR HER MARITAL TROUBLES
She Is Now in Paris, Staying With Her Daughter the Duchess Du Chaunes, But Action Is Brought
 Under New York Law

Shonts has remained in strict seclu- son. all callers having been informed that she was ''ill and can see no one. '
 New York, July Neither Theodore r. Snonts nor any of the local attor- neys in the case would discuss, today the action of the finaneier's wife agalnst him for a legal separation. Shonts declined to be seen and at the offices of Leventritte, Cook & Nathan, it was stated that under the circumstances, no public statement could be made at this time''
 In September. 1909, Shonts was serv- ed With papers in a suit for aliena- ton Of affections. by Frederick Hipsh the New York manager of a Kentucky Wh1skey house. Through his attorney Delancey Nicol, Shonts issued an in- d1gnant denial of the allegation, in- slstlng that 1t was a case of mis- taken identity. According to Hipsh he discovered the friendship between the hnanc1er and his wife when a telegram said to have been from Shonts addressed to Mrs Hipsh was handed to him and he opened it by mistake. It asked Mrs. Hipsh to meet the writer at Asbury Park.
 In December, 1910, Mrs Shonts came back from Europe and iInmedi- ately got into trouble with the custom officials. Jewels were seized in her apartments. Later, however, it was explained that Mrs Shonts had not known the customs regulations and the case was settled when she paid the duty demanded. In January, 1909, Mrs. Shonts and her two daughters

Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World. bought $1,0OO,OOO of the Panama 3s at the government sale He bid 102,777. Pulitzer makes about a billion a year out of his newspaper, and, as his income is largely in excess of his rather modess needs, he is one of Wall Streets best customers He has 4rcurnuiated large lines of railroad securities anu some industrials He buys them all for investment; he has no taste for spec ulation. In fact, one of his hobbies His newspaper is constantly hammer ing at Wall St., especially the Stock Exchange. It has been doing this for 20 years. The World is always keen to attack corporations and vest ed interests, and 1t makes no differ ence whose toes it treads on. Not long ago the World trained it's guns on corporation in which the Webbs and the VanderbiltS were deeply in terested, despite the fact that Joseph Pulitzer's son, Ralph, married Webb and is socially ambitious. Pulitzer's s orders to his editors are that the World has no friends to protect.

 James Gordon Bennett, who, like Pulitzer, is an absentee landlord, has always directed the policies of the New York Herald with an eye on the markets. He is not much of a spec ulator, but he is largely interested in American securities.

Over Norwalk at $40.

Norwalk, July 1-Aviator Harry N. Atwood passed over this city at $40, this morning, on the last lap of his flight from New London to New York. Many persons saw him as he was not flying very high.
 Stamford, July Harry N. At wood, flying to Mineola, L. l., flew over Stamford railway station at 8:56, this morning. He was flying 300 feet
 New York, July Atwood flew over Cos Cob, Conn.,, at 9:O1, Ameri- can Yacht Club. 9:05; Larchmont at 9:15, and was flying high over 160th street, Manhattan at 9:30 a. m. He was flying toward Queens borough.
 New York, July 1.-Lower Man haitian, the skyscraper district of New York, had it's first genuine aeroplane thrill, today. when Harry N. Atwood, the young Boston aviator, whfrled gaily over this part of the city in his Burgess Wright biplane and made thousands gasp as he circled the Sing CT Building tower
 Atwood was completing flight from New London which began at 7:30 this morning. He reached Low CT Manhattan at 10:20 and after a flight over the skyscrapers the first
 
 a feat, Atwood shot away to Cover nor's Island and landed on the pa rade ground at 10:25.
 In his flight Atwood carried a me- chanfcian. While over New York he travelled in leisurely fashion, circling had gathered on the tops of buildings and il the stree-a 1stwood eSfimated that he flew about the same distance as yesterday, in his trip from Boston to the boat races at New London. This was 135 miles and established a new American cross-country record.
 Thousands watched Atwood as he flew down the East River, the big yellow machine, glistening in the sun light, easily attracting attention. The noise from the popping of the en- zine and the whir of the two giant prope)lers would have sufficed to at tract even had the eye failed.
 It was not until the lower part of the city was reached, however, that Atwood's daring came into promi- hence. Other aviators had fought shy of this part of the city, pleading in excuse that the canyons formed by the huge buildings created treach- planes to dip dangerously. Atwood defied this theory by actually dipping under the flag that floated from the flagstaff on the Singer Tower. It looked as though his machine were toppling over and thousands were frightened at the risk of his falling. But with perfect control, Atwood scared aloft again and to the cheers of the watching throngs, he wheeled once more and then darted across the bay toward Governors Island. He had intended landing on the aviation field at Mineola but concluded he would pay his respects to the gov- ernment instead
 On his way to Governors Island, Atwood circled the statue of Liberty.
 Atwood crossed to Long Island near Casino Beach on the Astoria side of the East River and just above Hell Gate. He flew straight down the riv- CT after passing the Queensborough bridge and headed for Wall street.

 Castalio walked into the stall noise lessly, and placing his hand upon the animal, frightened it so that it rear ed and plunged CastaIio was felled and the horse trampled upon him sev- eral times.
 Screams of terror reached Dr. Bur lison, outside the barn, and when he rushed in he found Castalio still in the stall, prostrate and the horse prancing around in fear.
 Castalio was dragged out in a dazed and bruised condition. Dr. Burlison made quick examination and then called the ambulance corps. pr. Krause removed the hostler to the Bridgeport hospital at Dr. Burlison's s request. It is not believed that he is dangerously hurt
