TRACTOR EXHIBIT
 PLANS COMPLETE
MILLION DOLLAR MACHINERY DEMON. STATION AT DALLAS, JULY 1870 B
BANNER EVENT OF THE YEAR.

All plans are practically completed for the First National Tractor Demon. stration, which will be held at Dallas July IS to 21. This demonstration includes more than 200 tractors and over 20 makes of blows Every bar capacity of tractor will be demon. strated. Probably 400 factory repre-. sentatives will be on hand to show the possibilities of tractor on a farm, and the four days demonstration at Dal. las will constitute a practical, com. plete short course in power farming.
 A. F. Hldebrand. manager oI all oi the demonstrations, reached Dallas early this week, and will remain through the demonstration. During this week the tents for exhibition pur. poses will come, and tented city will rapidly outline itself on the demon stratiOn site. For demonstration pur. poses tract of 1000 acres has been secured and this has been plated and is ready for daily exhihition hn s2sG of blow. farm operation of similar character. Adjacent to the demonstration site are roads in need of work and on these the possibilities of the tractor and road making machinery will bs shown.
 to give exhibitions. The tractors at this demonstration will be of every size and type, while the blows will in. clude engine blows, both moldboard and disk, from all the standard mak- CTS. Concessions have been let for food. drink, fuel and other things for the convenience on the grounds both of the exhibitors and the visitors.
 There will be four days of actual demonstration in blowing, and other farm work. the mornings being devot- ed to private demonstration and the afternoons to public demonstration. This event promises to be the biggest agricultural event of the year, and every farmer and implement dealer in the Southwest should make it point to be present at least on one of these days.
 This machinery exhibit will approx imately reach valuation of $1,000,- 00o.O0, and will easily be close sec- ond to the State Fair in this respect. These tractor demonstrations are the results of demonstrations previously held in Nebraska and Canada. The in- terest was so great that practically all tractor and thresher manufacturers in the United States have formed an or ganization for the purpose of holding a limited number of demonstrations in the best tractor territory in the United States. A circuit has been ar- ranged embracing eight cities, in as many states. and these demonstra- tions. the first of which will be h. Id it Dallas. will follow each other on
 'ccessive weeks until the circuit is ompleted.

 Everyone knows what little neck clams are. They are now in the helght of the season and can be pur- chased for so cents a peck. A half peck will suffice for family of five persons. Then comes the salmon. While the leg of lamb is in the oven. and just about to be taken out to be served the salmon can be broiled over the range fire, while the cream sauce Is simmering not for from it. The vegetables, which of course have been prepared. are ready in the warmer for service, except. perhaps the green corn. '.-- That can be steamed easily but the better way is to hold 1t over the fire for @ few minutes until 1t takes on a golden color.
 About the time the fish Is disposed of the roast is ready to be served steaming hot, with mint sauce and the vegetables. This is what the dinner for a family of five adult persons will cost: Little neck clans, half peck, 40 cents; two pounds fresh salmon, 25 cents; leg of lamb, 60 cents; mint 5 cents; carrots 10c; parsnips 10c; green corn I doz., 15 cents; total $1.65 The lamb alone would cost that amount to-day.

PREPARE ROSTER OF NUNDOCUMENTED CRAFT
 IN LOCAL HARBOR

Collector of Port James L. Mac Govern has forwarded to the authori- ties at Washington a list completed by each of the deputy collectors of this district showing all of the undocu- mented craft in the district. The ports of Bridgeport, New Haven, Hkrtford, New London. Norwich, Mys- tit, Stonington, Middletown, Say brooke, Brandford, Norwalk, Stam- ford and Greenwich, and adjoining territories which have waterfronts are included in the list. The government has been engaged during the summer in securing such list which is, it is understood, one of the features of its preparedness plan. Under the naviga- tion laws of the country all vessels en- gagged in trade and registering over five tons and all pleasure craft regis tering over 15 tons must be document ed in their various ports. It is under stood that the number of undocu- mented vessels in this district approx imates 1000, many of which belong to Bridgeport.

. HONOR TO THE BRAVE.
 (Conefnued.)

Permit me to accompany the deliv- cry of this sword with an assurance of
 my unfeigned admiration of your dis tinguished patriotism and conduct; and with the expression of my fervent wish that He who gives victories to ar mics, who presides over the destinies of men and nations; will be pleased to bless your private pursuits and pre- serve you in the career of public use- fulness and honour, in which you have already so eminently distinguished yourself"
 To which General Miller answered.
 Your Excellency:
 Permit me- to return to you, and through you, to the very patriotic and enlightened body, the legislature of the state of New York my grateful acknowledgements for the honor you have this day conferred upon me, in presenting me this sword, as pledge of distinguished appreciation of my conduct as an officer during the late war; by yourself and the people of this state. I accept 1t in the hope, that my future course will insure to me a continuance of such f1attering appro- bation and confidence"

The 1iant's Staircase.

One of the most widely known geo. logical curiosities in the vicinity of Cork is a series of knobs or knots pro- jecting from the face of a cliff. There are sixteen of these huge projections altogether, all regularly set in the face of the cliff, one above the other, form ing series of such Uniformity as to give it the general apnearance of a stairway. Since time out of memory this queer ascent and its projecting "steps" have been known as the Giants staircase.

FOR A POLICE COURT.

The Standard Says:-"If any city in 1lhe state needs police court Bridge bort does" If the New Haven editor Iof that paper will ask some of his Re- publican friends, he will ascertain that a few years ago, Hon. P. c. Cal houn, procured the passage by the Legislature of a carefully prepared law for the establishment of a police court in our city, but the Republican lead Iers were opposed to the measure be- [cause the Democrats were then in power in the city, and by strenuous ef- forts succeeded in defeating it's ac- tceptance by the city meeting to which lit was submitted by the direction of the law itself. It is disgrace that we have not a properly constituted
 court of this kind to-day, and the Re publican friends of the Standard are irresponsible for it.

HUGHES NOT LEADER OF ANY CAUSE, BUT A DRACNET FOR ANTI-W|L SON
 VOTES, INDEPENDENT WRITER HOLDS

great deal to be said for MT. Wilson.
 MT. Hughes today is 0 man who has repressed a profound scruple, has risked a career for which he was pe- culiarly fitted, has entered a kind of life which he does not enjoy, has made himself the exponent of party without principle and of mood which is not his own. Why then did he accept the nomination? What was the issue that called Mr. Hughes from the bench? It was something which has never been mentioned in the cam paign, and yet seemed to MT. Hughes a compelling reason for acceptance. The very afternoon whel he resigned and sent his telegram to the Republi- can Convention he explained his ac- tion by saying that our system of gov- ernment could not be worked without two strong parties, and that he was the only man who could unite the Pro- gressives and the Republicans. The call came to him as a way to save the country by redeeming the Repub- lican party.
 'If MT. Wilson has done nothing else, he has gone far toward restor- ing confidence in the possibilities of our government. The radical and the humble have felt response from Washington they have never known before. The generous, idealistic, peace-loving people of American have felt they were represented in MT. Will son. Let MT. Hughes come in with anything that resembles a plutocratic reaction, and the cause of efficiency will receive staggering blow no mat ter how good MT. Hughes appoint ments may be-
 "In a time when there were one or two complicated problems before the people which required expert treat ment there would be no doubt that MT. Hughes measured up to his office. But we are not in such time, and that is why there is doubt of his fit ness. We are in time of unimagin- able complications, of unexpected crises, It is a period of extreme un- easiness beneath the surface of the people in order to move successfully. The President of the United States in the next four years will have to be very nimble-minded and versatile man, man capable of quick intui- tions, and with the power to guess rightly almost on the spur of the mo- ment. There will be a few questions he can study thoroughly. He will have to be able to pick ideas in hur- ry keep close to the deeper currents of popular feeling, and have no fear of adventure"

NEAR IA FATALITY.

A serious accident occurred about one, o'clock yesterday at the residence of MT. Dabney Carr, in Fairfield, which nearly resulted in the instant death of MT. Carr's young son. The facts4in the case as we hear them are these: A son of Hon. Wm. D. Bishop and young Carr, wehe playing together lin one of the upper rooms of the house where they got access to a bureau drawer, in which was a loaded revo1- yer. The Bishop lad during their play placed it at the breast of young Carr, not supposing it to be loaded, when, the pistol was discharged ef it's deadly contents, sending the ball through the body of the latter and striking the wall opposite. The ball entered and passed through just be- low the collar bone and above the lungs. Fortunately for the little suf- ferer the fatal missile did not touch 1.-the lungs Doctor Hubbard was im- mediately summoned and rendered whatever aid his skill might suggest.

THE CREW ~ OF CLARKE

(Gone but not forgotten is Frederick c. Clarke, one d the greatest slug ging outfie1ders and ablest pilots the game has ever had. The old Pirate chief will celebrate his forty-fourth birthday to-day, and, although he is now a Kansas farmer and no longer actively connected with the diamond game, his old friends-a mighty multi tude-will not forget him on his natal day.
 When Clarke retired from the Pirate management last year, he left be- hind him on the Buccaneer craft three of the old timers who helped to win the championship in 1909. Those were Honus Wagner, George Gibson and Babe Adams. This season has witnessed the passing of Gibson and Adams, and now Hans alone is left as a venerable relic of the days when the Pirates were "the goods"
 The Pirates of 1909, worlds cham pions, began to walk the plank the following annum, when Vic Willis, pitcher, and Bill Abstein, first baser, were trapped overheard. Pitcher Nick Maddox was shipped to the mil nors in 1911, and Pat O'Connor, back stop, hit the backward trail the same year, although he later pulled a come back stunt with the Cardinals and the Pittsfeds. Sam Leever, veteran twir1- CT, also passed out that year.
 In 1912 another pitching veteran of the Clarke crew, Charles Deacon" Philippe, was dropped from the ros- ter, and, after an inglorious career in the outlaw United States League, quit the game. Lefty Leifield, pitcher, and Tommy Leach, outfielder, were turn ed loose in trade that year. Leif1eld twirled for St. Paul in the American Association and Leach managed Roch- ester this year.
 Howard Camnitz, pitcher, and Bob- by Byrne, third baseman, were traded to the Phils. in 1913. The following year Jack Miller, second baseman of the Pirate worlds champions, was traded to St. Louis. This completed the wrecking of the old tnfeld, with the exception of Honus the Great. Ed Abbatiochio, Wagner's understudy as shortstop in 1909, lasted only year after that Chief Wilson, outfielder. was swapped in 1914, and Ham Hyatt drifted back in 1915.
 w ' year he retired to his Kansas farm and the enjoyment of one of the jueiest fortunes ever amassed by a ball play CT. Fred's pile has been estimated at a quarter of million dollars, and, while this may not be accurate, it is a safe bet that there are no wolves hanging about the portals of his ranch house.
 Before Fred Fulton ming1es with Jess Willard, he had better acquire little more coin. 1t is the duty of every man to leave his family well provided for.

LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN.

: It is believed our legislature will ad- journ next Friday, after appointing electors of President and Vice-Presi- fdent of the U. s. Electors can not by law be chosen before the first day of November. Was it not for this circumstance it. is probable that the assembly would adjourn sooner, as they have yet had little business of importance before them since their tsittings.
