Brinsmade gave a most de Hghtful whist party in honor of her young guests, Misses Florence and Natalie Merwin of Trumbull and Miss Wheeler of Bridgeport Four tables were formed and after two or three hours enjoyable playing it was discov cred that the highest scores had been made by Miss Merwin and Frank Gilbert.

NUTMEG CRAVINGS,

Ellis L. Webster of Wetherstield claims that his daughter and her husband pro- cured by fraud his property, and he has brought suit to recover it. The case was on trial ln the superior court at Hartford yesterday.
 The divorce petition of Geo H. Beard of Milford, now before the legislature is. with two exceptions, the only one based on the ground of insanity in the history of the state. In 1890 Richard Edwards of New Haven, the grandfather of Jona- than Edwards, was divorced because of his wife's insanity, and similar case occurred in 1856, when Mary R. Pell was divorced from Morris Pell.
 Miss Kate Murray of Canaan was re- gently charged with the theft of val uable pin from Wallace Barnes of Bris- tol. She avoided arrest by giving a check for S7OO to the officer who served the warrant, but before the check was presented at the bank she had forbidden payment. She also has had the officer arrested for obtaining the check while she was under duress. She has since been arrested for the theft.
 Arthur Doggart, father of Thomas Doggart of Rockville, the young man who was shot and killed, as it was sun- posed accidentally, by James Marcy while hunting at Talcottville, December 24, will endeavor to have Marcy tried for manslaughter as he is convinced the shooting was not accidental. Coroner Phelps has not yet given a verdict, as there are number of strange facts in the case, one of them being that it was impossible for Doggart to have been shot Ill the manner described by Marcy.

Music in EverythinS.

It is very amusing to go into tho shops in Geneva, Switzerland, where music boxes are sold You are shown into a room and invited to take chair; the chair plays pretty tune as you take your seat. You hang up your hat or umbrella upon a rack, and tho rack murmurs few strains of music. A decanter upon the table pours out a glass of water to a stately march, and all the innocent looking furniture of the room could, do not doubt, discourse excellent melodies. If you desire more elaborate art the large box contains . whole orchestra; and even the httlc boxes on the table can play many exquisite things. No need of buying opera tickets any longer: you carry home in your trunk harmony enough for lifetime.
 . The manufacture of jewelry and the cut ting of precious stones Is one of the oldest arts in Geneva. It Is known to have been practiced as early as the Fifth century, and in the Thirteenth the Genevan jewellers were widely renowned, but the art of watchmak- ing, in which this city now leads the world, is much more recent The first watches and clocks were made here in 15O0; at the present day Geneva manufactures annually no, 900 watches alone. Az an American am bound to rank the Waltham watches moro highly, but the art seems to have been carried here very nearly to the point of perfection; and in the beauty of their decoration and enameNng the artists have certainly no competitors in any country.-San Francisco Chronicle

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Last nights league aAolo games : Bridgeport !, New Haven 1; Meriden 8, Hartford 2.
 There was fair sized attendance at the rink last evening to witness the polo game between the Waterbury Blues and the New Haven Flyers. The game was a spirited one and was won by the Waterburys by the score of 6 to 5,
 Henry Giles, a storekeeper at Peeks- Kill, N. r., won a wager that he could swim seventy-fve yards in the icy water Of the Hudson river Saturday. The money was collected from crowd that gathered on the pier to watch him. After he had performed the feat in A minutes he was seized with chill and had to be taken home. His foolhardy adventure may cost him his life.
 After an all-day;:session the meeting of the International association last even ing decided to admit Hamilton to membership. This was accomplished through the concessions of Buffalo, To- ledo and Detroit, and to avoid the neces- sity of keeping the delegates in session all night. This leaves Newark, Jersey City and Wilkesbarre out in the cold.
 The arrangements for the first 27-hour walking match to be given in this city are well under way and several local pedestrians have signified their intention will be held in the rink beginning at 8 o'clock on the evening of February and continuing until II o'clock the following night. "Old Sport" Campana of Bridge port and "Old Man" Bison of Meriden will probably be in the race. An eu- trance fee of S5 will be charged all wish ing to participate in the race,

BASE BALL IN WATERBURY,.
A Good Team Would be Self-Sustafn-
 ing Here.

A Good Team Would be Self-Sustafn-
 ing Here.
 The gentlemen who have for the past five years tried to keep the great Ameri- can game of base ball from dying in Waterbury gave the thing up as a bad job last season, and it was thought that the state would see no more professional base ball for long time. Interest in the game seems to revive, however, and the Hartford and New Haven papers are clamoring for a league. The proposed plan is to form a league taking in the best of the New England cities and Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport from this state. Why they are anxious to place a team in Bridgeport is a mys- tery. That city has for several years failed to support base ball club whether good, bad or indifferent. Waterbury is the only city in the state that has kept a team in the field four successive seasons. The gentlemen who are interested in the sport here are willing to lose a little money for the sake of enjoying the sport and would without doubt take place in the proposed league if salary limit of not more than S1,200 a month was strictly adhered to. Now that the New Jersey clubs have failed to secure ad- mittance to the International league how would league composed as follows do :: Manchester, Worcester, Lowell, Hart ford, Waterbury, New Haven. Newark and Jersey City?
