MULAl HkFiD'S HAREM
 GOES ON AN EXCURSION
Ex-sultan's 125 Wives Accompany
 Him Rs Far as Gibraltar.


 -G.a-altar. Aug. 26.-Mulai Hafid, ex-suitan Of Morocco, is at Vieny en- JeyanG his first taste of civilization with all the zest of a youth on his drst visit to the candy shop. But his HrSt impressions are no more VlV1u than those of his 125 wives, who &C., Ecompanied him as far as Gibraltar and before landing at Tangier got their first glimpse of the new world. " ! When the Sultan embarked from Rabat on the Du Chayla, accompanied by seven secretaries, the steamer Dersa, chartered by the Sultan for the occasion and loaded down with a cargo of Morocco's most beautiful, followed out of the roadstead at a Respectful distance. The Sultan meanwhile stood on the poopdeck, glasses in hand, surveying with no doubt great admiration his harem afloat.
 When in sight of Tangier the Du Chayla turned toward Gibraltar, while the Dersa with its precious cargo en- tered the roadstead at Tangier. The Dersa resembled a Coney Island Aex- cursion boat on ladies' Day. Crowd ed against the rail was a mass of white-the finest silk probably, &C., centuated here and there by glimpses of olive skin. Each one of the 125 wives and concubines of the Sultan was drinking in with her eyes the DGduI1GS Ol .L1le InaSS1NG FOCk dIlQ Ute Thew world' that lay beyond. For several minutes all was confusion on board the little steamer. There were petty quarrels, it seemed, over the dainty little slippers which had been rnisplAced or the last of the 210 bot ties of lemonade consumed during the nights Journey. Above all could be heard the sharp commands of the harifa, the mistress of the troop. For the excursion was at a; mend anl all were to land.
 A large barge, ordinarily used for landing cattle, was pressed into ser vice, carpeted with fine rugs and cushions, for some of the ladies had suffered during the night from mai de meP.
 Three times the barge loaded with its-precious freight made the trip ,tc the abreakwater Mules from the pal ace7 dn4 the outskirts of Tangier had been requisitioned and were lined up son the breakwater. Here the. wives stood at attention awaiting the order 10 mount. In the first rank 1t was not difficult to make out two of the <an's legitimate wives the daugh- tor of Mokora, the Grand .Vizier, and t&e daughter of Said Glaom, the lat ter carrying child's parasol as if it were the finest example of the um- ,brella makers art.
 The order to mount having been given, the troop moved off in mili- tary order toward the basbah, wfl ose gates soon swallowed them up. The Sultan, having thus said farewell to his family, turned toward Vichy to Automobile and other modern luxur- ies, not to mention the French wo- men. concerning whom he said when questioned: 'T know nothing of them yet. but come around and ask me later s s-fas

 City Campaign in Stamford

Stamford. Aug 26-JamA AG. .Phelps Stokes, millionaire Socialist, today, formally announced his withdrawal as a candidate for mayor for which of- flee he was nominated, recently by the Socialist party. His withdrawal follows an opinion from Attorney Ed win l.. Scofield, defining the city boundaries and finding that Caritas Island, where MT. Stokes has his home is not in the city limits.
 The island was taxed in the city for six years. The assessors recently received an opinion that it was not in the city limits. MT.

"In the Red sea we ran plump into vessel, and our boat cut it entirely in two, so neatly that 1t might almost have been done with a huge knife. We went clean through her, and the men on the vessel struck stepped from the two halves of that ship on to our deck. The injured yes sel went down within a few minutes after it had been struck. The thing was so strange that when the captain of the vessel we had struck went back to London an investigation was held, and it was substantially proved that the officers had with design got In the immediate track of our vessel in order to bring about a collision in the hope that they could collect insurance mon ey.

AERIAL STUNTS RAISE
 OLD NED IN MIDDLETOWN

Middletown, Aug. 26-The advent of an aeroplane here a few days ago has had a bad effect on the livestock of the farmers in the immediate vicinity, according to reports being circulated. It is said that hens have refused to lay. spending all their time looking toward the heavens for large hawks.
 Even the cows give decreased amount of milk due, perhaps to their constant running. For whenever they hear a strange noise they seek cover with all speed possible. One elderly farmer has expressed the sentiments of many when he said:
 T hope none of those gosh dinged things comes over here agin."

Nature,

The best definition of nature is per haps Mills in his Three Essays on Religion" In that work Mill says, "Na- ture is a collective name for all facts, actual and possible, or & name for the mode, partly known to us and partly unknown, in which all things take place" Continuing, Mill says: ."The nature of thing means its en- tire capacity of existing phenomena.

Final Clearance Sale
 of summer merchandise this week at E. 1T. Dillon & Co.'s 1105 Main street. All goods marked at nominal prices. Matinee Excursion.
 The every day matinee excursions that have been so thoroughly enjoyed by the travelling public during the past ten weeks are to be discontinued after Labor Day. This is the an nouncement made by Capt c. E. Tooker of The Steamer Park City and the trip referred to is the pleas ant one across the sound to Port lief ferson, N Y. Those who are plan ming for a special half days outing trip would certainly have to look around great deal to improve upon the charming sail on Long Island sound. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:30 o'clock daily this week, and the re- turn trip is made leaving Port Jef- ferson at 4:30 p. m.
 The war maneuvers held in this section of Connecticut were particu- larly favorable for the moving pie tuee men, and some excellent reels of the different maneuvers were obtain ed. The weather was fine for picture making, the maneuvers were to q large extent in open country where an automobile and a picture machine could be used, and the resultant pie lures are said to be excellent. Bridge port, which was @ centre of the con- tending forces, will be the first place in the country to have an opportunity to see these pictures, and the Eagles of the city are to be commended for their enterprise in securing them for Eagles hall, Monday and Tuesday evenings. No pictures of the war maneuvers have ever been shown in this country of evolutions bringing in regulars and state militia, and as many of the troops passed through this city, the pictures will have un' usual interest. There are some more than 5000 feet of these films and they portray all of the battles of the war" The conflicts of Tuesday in Milford, and the brisk battle at Georges Hill, Newtown, Friday, and the big battle of Saturday near New town reservoir. One of the features will be picture showing the laying of pontoon. bridge and the crossing of a body of soldiers. These pictures are authorized by the U. S. govern ment and Bridgeport will have a chance to see them before the gov ernment officials. Remember, Eagles hall. Monday and Tuesday evenings.
