when one of the artiiierists entered the

bedding, etc, had been left to the mer-
cies of war. The battery helped Itself

CRoQUET CHANGED TO POOL.

"The rage tor novelty in outdoor
sports," said Maiden lane toy mer.
chant, the other day, "has attacked
even the old-established lawn game o
croquet. They have metamorphoscd
1t into what is called "lawn pool and
and introduced into it some feature OF
the game of pool as played by billiard
players. The arches are replaced by
nine short ornamental stakes. The
tops OF the stakes are cup-shaped, and
hold colored balls of wood, which are
numbered. The first point In the
game is to strike the. stakes with the
regular playing balls aud dislodge tho
numbered balls from the cup-shaped
hollows. This requires more skill than
to drive IL ball through the arch, and
the numbers OF the dislodged balls are
added to the score.
"The balls used by the players in
driving at the stakes are also number
ed, and after the first point in the game
is made, eau be attacked by any other
ball. A carrom counts for the adver-
sary as many points as the number
painted on the ball which is hit. A
skilled player can roll up the points
with great rapidity, and go roaming
around with great advantage to his
side.
"If player, however, essays to
strike stake or an opponents ball
and misses, he is obliged to forfeit
points for the mispIay. All this, you
see, alters the character OF the old cro-
quet game, so that ability to run quick
ly around the scourse' OF tho stakes
does not insure victory. The winner
Is he or she who can stay longest is the
field and count the highest number by
avoiding forfcits and carroming on op-
posing balls as we'll as the stakes.
Usually there are ionr players on Il
side, and the number Of the points in
the game is optional--anything up to
+ 900 points, according to the desire OF
the players. There IL n string Of but
tons, similar TO those used in counting
billiards, on which the players scores
are recorded"

A young man living on Park

desperate attempt at suicide Wednes-
day afternoon. He was seen near Mr..
Howenstien's place during the day
wandering about in an aimless man
ner but no particular attention was
paid to him, until late in the after
noon, when he was found covered with
blood, and three ugly gashes on the
neck. Word was brought to the officers
here and chef of Police McKinnon
and DIR. Gauyreau, went over to the
Point, and found the young man as
described. The Doctor dressed the
wounds which though bad ones, need
not prove fatal unless inflammation
should set in. The unfortunate man
has brother living in Duluth, who
was sent for, ard took the patient
oyer to that city Thursday morning.
The cause is temporary insanity,
brought on by a severe attack OF
Mountain fever contracted in the
