At the national convention held in Omaha, Neb., in 1894, band of Irish Catholic women formed a temporary organization for the purpose of as- sisting the A. O. H. of Omaha to en- certain the numerous women who ac- companied the delegates to that city. While the delegates were in session, this temporary organization of women suggested that their organization might be made a permanent one with a nation wide scope, the same as the original organization. This idea at once took hold, and the Ladies Auxili- ary of the A. o. H. resulted Con- necticut was one of the first states for the new auxiliary to be instituted.
 Col. John P. Murphy of Norwich, state president at that time, also member of the national board of direc- tors. with the assistance and counsel of state chaplain Rev Father Quinn was largely instrumental in establish ing the auxiliary in Connecticut. The first division was instituted in Nauga- tuck. March s, 1895 by county president James P. Bree of New Haven. south Manchester was second, June 2, 1885, Hartford third, June 6, the same year.

 Tonight souvenir autographed photos of Mr. Melrose will be given
 to the ladies. On next Monday night another $500 StultZ piano will be pre- sented to the lady holding the lucky
 coupon. Last Monday 2,00O persons paid admission to witness the presen-

 During the second act of ''The Glrl
 of the Golden West" the action takes place during raging storm. The
 scene is in the cabin of the girl on
 the slope of Cloudy Mountain and, the
 dwelling offers a place of refuge to
 Ramerrez, the road agent, and the
 posse under Jack Rance, the sheriff. which is pursuing the bandit. The ferocity of the storm prevents RameJ:- reg from leaving the cabin and thus eventually places him in the hands of Rance, officer of the law, and the
 bandits rival Nothing that Poli has done in the way of stage effects ex-
 ceeds this in realism. The wind
 whirling down the mountain side; the
 whirling sleet and snow,. which drives in through the door as the storm blows 1t open, the rattling of the windows and the circulation of chilling air on the stage are all so naturally accom- plished that an audience invariably feels an inclination to turn up it's coat collars and put on its wraps. It is a
 matter of fact that. the orchestra and | the portion of the audience occupying the first few rows of the orchestra seats actually shiver, because the wind which drives the snow before it, is in reality a cold wind, manufac-
 tured behind the scenes and blown
 across the stage and out into the au- dferce. This mountain storm has been
 called one of the most thrilling and
 impressive bits of realism ever credit
 ed to a producer.

 The first division of the Ancient Or der of HibernianS in Connecticut was formed in Bridgeport March >14, 1869. and it still retains it's prestige among it's younger associates in the great Connecticut organization.

HAMILTON TO
 FLY AT SEA
 BREEZE SOON
World Famed Little Aviator to Thrill Bridgeporters
 Next Week

An aerial exhibition, the like of which has never been seen here, is promised to Bridgeporters for the lat ter part of next week, when Charles K Hamilton, the famous aviator, will give series of flights at Sea Breeze Island
 Arrangements for the engag cement of MT. Hamilton were completed this forenoon between the interpid little New Britain flyer and William L.. Gallagher, general manager of Sea Breeze Island The flights will be held from the ball grounds in Sea will be charged.
 Bridgeport has had several tastes of avia ton, beginning with flights by Earle Ovington, who is now retired from the aerial game closely follow ed by a meet at the Lake Aerodrome in which Beachey and McCurdy took part This year Sea Breeze produced the only aerial flights thus far seen, during the four days carnival with which Sea Breeze was thrown open.
 Beckwith Ravens, the plucky- New York National GuardSman, establish ed a new worlds record during the meet here early this summer. He flew a Curtiss hydroaeroplane, and crossed Long Island Sound with a passenger and returned after dark, a feat wholly unprecedented in the an- naIs of American aviation.
 News of the engagement of Hamil- ton brings a thrill to all who closely follow the flying game, for Hamilton is admitted by all who are familiar with the records of the birdmen, to be the king of all the flyers.
 An instance of the reckless daring which marks his work is the memor- able attempt he made two years ago to "Loop-the-Loop in a flying ma chine Tn other words, he descended at such velocity towards earth that he expected his centrifugal force to hold him in place and keep the aero plane steady. until it had described a complete circle The feat was all but successful. The strain proved too great for the machine and it collapsed, dropping Hamilton into the Sound. He was rescued, and after a few days in a hospital was on his job as usual
 Hamilton guarantees not less than three, and probably more than five flights daily, for the two, days of his enga cement, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. "A and 25.

J., Aug. 17.-Based on reports received from every State, the Democratic leaders have completed their first estimates of their own and their opponents 'strengthy and with these for guidance have worked out the tentative programme for the cam paign. The fight will be waged along entirely different lines of any nation al campaign in many years, for the estimates show that the political com plexion of the United States has un- dergone a change.
 Daniels, mem bers of the Campaign Committee, came to Sea Girt, after all day conferences with their as- sociates in New York, to discuss the details of the campaign and to lay before Governor Wilson all the de- velopments of the last few days.
 .'If the election were to be held in the next few days President Taft and the third term candidate together would not carry more than ten States MT. Daniels said. We are not going to be overconfident, how ever, and shall wage an energetic campaign in all the States regarded as doubtful"
 It was learned that the States in the list conceded to the Republican candidates include Vermont, Rhode Island, Kansas, Nebraska, Monnesota, California, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and possibly Colorado.
 Start Fight in New England.
 The party managers do not all agree that the States enumerated are doubtful. Some insist that Minnesota, Rhode Island and Colorado should not be included in such a list
 The preliminary reports show that in the New England States Vermont and Rhode Island alone are. doubt full It is asserted that Massachu- setts, Connecticut and New Hamp- shire lean strongly to Governor Will son at present. Convinced that for the first time in years they may carry Massachusetts and Connecticut, the managers have arranged to start the fight there without delay.
 It is intended that Governor Wilson shall make speeches in Boston end other cities. Efforts are being made to persuade him to go to Maine, al- though he has indicated he would not go. Governor Foss. Governor Mar

 Based on a Careful Canvass of
 Every State

shall and several representatives " begin the fight next week in Main and then will swing into Massacht I setts. Count New York As Sure.
 New York is counted in these hTk estimates as safe for Governor W son. The leaders figure that the Prd[ ident and the Bull Moose party maj poll about an equal vote in the End pire State. With two RepubIica3 nominees for Governor the Democrat will carry the state, according to u Z estimate, even if they make a mid take in naming their candidate f Governor. The National CommittS will not interfere in the State situa ton. It reports that the worst thin; that possibly could happen in Nei1 York would be to have two Demd cratic nominees for Governor, anI as a remote possibility, Governor vii son still would win.
 The split in the Republican partt according to the Democratic reporta also will give Pennsylvania. Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Missouri and Nortl Carolina to Governor Wilson.
 Canvass By State Leaders.
 The situation in every district fl each of these States has. been car, VasSed by the State leaders. The I'd ports show that the Democratic or ganization is in better condition tl1ai for many years, whereas their Oppou ents are divided-in some instance hopelessly. One of the hardest fight will be in Minnesota, where the con test is regarded as between the thfr. term candidates and Governor WI son. The Democratic leaders are no counting on Wisconsin because, the say, they do not know with certainf where the LaE'ol1ette vote will 20.
 The organization programme completed practically. It is based ol the estimate that the committee vii have about $1,O00,00O to spend. Tha is not fixed as a definite figure am the managers hope it may exceed tf1s sum. In the last campaign the part had only $60O,000 The Speaker. Bureau is being organized and fh list of orators enrolled. They will b ready to take the stump next week The arrangements for the formation of clubs have been perfected.
 Special emphasis has been laid ol the need for combating the attack on the immigration issue.

centuries have combined to make the Meriden hills present the most un- usual qualities, and Professor Rice is certain that they will greatly interest the visiting scientists.
 The fact that this is the only spot in Connecticut that the party will visit shows the importance of what Meri- den offers.
 The party will then return to New York and take a trip across the con- tinent, where some of the scientific wonders of the world will be inspect ed.
 Professor Rice has just returned from an extended journey to Europe, and the Wesleyan man is looked upon as an authority. Because of his ac- quaintance with the Meriden hills, he will explain all the interesting fea- tuDes to the visitors.
