In a Cricket Match for the ChnmpIonship,
Played Against Harvard.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-fhe University Of
Pennsylvania won the college championship by
defeating Harvard after a very one-sided
game to-day. Harvard batted first and so de-
structive was Bowler Patterson that he had
to be taken off in order to let the visitors make
some runs. His record was five wickets in two
overs without a run. It has never been
eQualed in a first-class match in this city and
probably never in any other city. Harvard lost
their first six wickets for one run, and all the
interest was taken out of the game by this
poor start
After this the University played as they
pleased, sending in their batsmen in q most
novel order and winning finally by one run and
one inning. Griscom and Austrian carried off
the batting honors for their respective sides.
The score: Harvard, q and 102; University of
Pennsylvania, l30.

A Victorious Dude.

HE PUTS A DRUNKARD OUT OF A STREET CAR.
From the Boston Transcript
A Dorchester street car. the other night was
rolling over the desert region somewhere on
Dorchester avenue. All the seats were occu-
pied. Among the passengers WAS "a young lady.
and in front of her stood her escort. a slender
youth and swell of the most starchy sort. Pres
emily the car stopped and an intoxicated man
big, burly Northumberland lie SWING
uneasiy from side to side for a few moments.
and then man who sat next to the Young lady
moved along and left little space on the seat.
The drunkard made lunge for the place and
came into unpleasant contact with the Young
lady.
''Aw-aw-my dyah fellow" protested the
dude. You mustn't do that. You know"
The man, though quite intoxicated. was not
apparently III a fighting mood; he grinned,
got up and stood in the middle of the car
surging from side TO side again. Now and
then he bumped against the dude who re-
peated his protestation:
law, my dyah fellow, you mustn't do that
you know
But presently the drunkard showed a dis
position TO feel that he was being tramplei
upon. He reasserted his right To the fragmen
OF seat and made another hinge for it.
"Conductah. conductah.' called the swell.
| "Aw-this man must be elected from the cah:
don't you know He's inebwiated,"
The conductor declined to interfere The
plain fact undoubtedly that he was a cow

The Color of Trout.

THE EFFECT OF LIGHT AND FREEDOM UPON THE
GAMEsF OF FISH.
From the New York Times.
Every trout-isher has observed the differ
ence in the color of the speckled beauties he
loves SO well. but to the query why some are
brighter than others the correct reason is
rarely given.
Sir Humphry Davy is credited with story
that is substantially as follows: "A great French
manufacturer sought the secret of making tho
brilliant carmlne that was manufactured in
England. He went to London and paid II 900
TO an English manufacturer for his secret.
The Frenchman visited the factory and care
fully observed the details of the manufacture
of the carmine. Finding il 10 be exactly the
same process that lie himself carried on IN his
own factory, he complained that he had been
cheated out of his money. The Englishman
called his attention to the day. which was
bright and sunny. Inquiry TO whether such
days were taken advantage of by the French
man for making his color elected the fact that
he had made his carmIne ON dark DAYS
In that the whole secret lay. So il is with
SdimO tOHtinGtis, the brook trout. and with every
other fish that swiTns. Inhabitants OF limpid
streams with gravelly bottoms are bright and
beautiful those in dark. land-locked waters,
shaded from the sun. are devoid of the brilliant
colors which are so much admired
1t has puzzled many amateur anglers. also. to
account for the difference in the color of the
substance flesh of the brook trout This
cannot be accounted for in the same manner.
The wild trout is noted for its beautiful pink
flesh, while that of the cultivated fish IL OF -
pale yellowish tint The food Of the trout
makes all the difference. or. if not. the annual
or semi-annual visit of the wild trout 20 the
salt water makes IL up. Preserved trout are
fed principally on liver, and not only are they
of less beautiful exterior. but they are devoid
OF the pink flesh and delicate flavor of the wild

He Called at the Wrong House.

A CoLORED IMPosToR WHO PRETENDED TO WANT
MONEY TO BURY A DEAD CHILD.
Last night a coored man called at
the house of Policeman Trainor, No. 1885 5th
street, and asked for assistance to bury his dead
child He showed the officer paper which
read:

child as l am not abble to bearry him l would
like to put him away / am not abble bare the

The officer questioned the negro, who said
his home was i'll East Washington. On the way
to the police station he said that he had made
a mistake, that his child was not dead and he
wanted to apologize. Deed, boss he said,
I'll tell you de truf eff you let me CO." He
told the officer that he had just come over
from Baltimore, and gave his name as Joseph
Scott. He was locked up OH charge of being
a suspicious person, and was taken to the Police
Court to-day. The case tried, and the
prisoner was given two months on the farm in

The speed of Thought.
HOW LONG 1T TAKES FOR AN IDEA TO REACH TIE
BRAIN.


BRAIN.
Some of the readers have no doubt frequently
made use of the expression quick as thought. /"
but have any of them ever stopped to consider
how quick thought is? A writer in the Nine
tenth Century has made some interesting caicu-
lations regarding the comparative length Of
time it takes to call to mind various everyday
facts.
1t takes about two-fifths of second TO call TO
mind the country in which a well-known
town is situated, or the language in which a
familiar author wrote. We can think of the
name of next month in half the time We need
to think of the name of last month. Ii takes
on theayerage one-third Of a second TO add
numbers consisting of one digit, and half a
second to multiply them. Such experiments
give us considerable insight into the mind.
Those used TO reckoning can add two TO three
in less time than others. those familiar with
literature can remember more quickly than
others that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet" It
takes longer to mention month when a season
has been given than 10 say 70 what month q
season belongs.

time taken up in perceiving. III do not know

Physical Effects of Alcohol.

But If the physical results of alcohol are va

they are as multiform as man himself Ons

individuals fortunately the small minority,

Their every sense Is exalted: they fancy them
