THE MODERN BASEBALL.
How It Is Made by tho Pretty Girls

How It Is Made by tho Pretty Girls ot
 Natick, Mass.
 The baseball of to-day, as produced at Natick, is made by hand, writes @ Boston correspondent. The laborers employed in the work are nearly all girls.
 The spherical core, of best rubber, is first carefully wrapped with given amount of the most costly yarn.
 When the ball has thus grown to about two-thirds of the size it is to be leather cover Is stitched on with Q needle and waxed thread.
 This cover has the effect of keeping the ball compact and in shape, and of regulat- ing its elasticity.
 Then mo re yarn is wound upon it, until it is found to turn the scales at precisely the right point.
 Finally the outer cover of horsehide is sewn on, and the ball. after being stamped and again weighed to make sure that 1t is just five ounces, is wrapped in tin foil, put into box with five more like 1t, and de- clared ready for sale.
 The cover, as an examination of base ball will show you, is stamped out of the leather in but two curiously shaped pieces, which, sewn on the ball, together exactly cover it.
 This device was not invented until 1865. The cheaper grades of base balls are made of poorer yarn and rubber scraps, the lat. ter pressed into pulp by powerful ma- chinery.
 The less expensive the ball the less yarn and more scraps will be used in It's manu- facture, until, when you get to the Small Boys Own," price five cents, there is noth. ing to be found inside the flimsy cover but melted remnants of rubber shoes.

 Yesterday morning as the early freight on the Naugatuck division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad which leaves Winsted at 6:35 i'll charge of Conductor J. Colgan had reached the top of the grade about two and one-half miles from Torrington the watchful eye of En- gineer Charles Tomlin saw an obstruction on the track ahead of the train.

On going ahead an old iron chair was found which had been turned down on the track with the top of the chair back fitted in joint between cou- pie of rails.in such manner that it would run the train off the track and wreck it.. The scoundrel who attempted to do the dastardly deed kept out of sight No req son is assigned for the cowardly act.

no denying that the Little Cavalryman

pleased all the people. Should there be

would not be a great surprise to any

From all the Dispatch can learn the
people of Texas are not tearing their
hair over the proposition to give Gov

NO WORSE THAN OTHERS.


The American congress has frequently
been called "bear garden, - and many
OF the state legislatures of this country
denounced for their lack of dignity and
refinement. That the statesmen of
America are very like those of other
places in their methods and manners the
following dispatch from London very
clearly indicates:
In the house of commons last night, during
the debate on the Irish estimates, Mr.. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, referred to two resi-
dent magistrates refusing to subscribe for a race
meeting because Mr.. Edward Harrington, a
member of the committee, had denounced the
police as towards, liars and uniformed blood
hounds.
Mr.. Harrington challenged Mr.. Balfour to give
his authority, and Mr.. Ba1four replied that he
spoke on the best of authority.
Mr.. Harrington started across the floor, APP
parently with the intention of assaulting Mr..
BaIfour. He was followed and pulled back by
Mr.. Mahoney. A tremendous uproar followed.
The chairman calls for order were drowned in
Irish yells. Amid a moments pause, Mr..
Timothy Healey loudly accused Mr.. Balfour of
using an insulting gesture toward Mr. Harring-
ton, and told Mr.. Balfour to keep quiet or else
they would make him. The tumult continued a
quarter OF an hour, the chairman warning the
Parnellites to control their feelings. When or
der was restored Mr.. Balfour denied that he had
used an insulting gesture, and Mr.. Harrington
apologized for his hasty action. Mr.. Balfour
was then allowed to proceed with his speech.

TIE LOTION RENE RED.

During the session OF the Twenty first
legislature THE GAZETTE urged the APP
,pointment of committee of iuvestiga-
ton to inquire into ''the railroad ques-
ton and report to the Twenty
legislature with such recommendations as
such investigation might suggest.
THE GAZETTE urged this in the interest
of both railroads and people, basing its
suggestion on the ground that there was
no conflict of interest between roads and
people, but an identity of interest that
demanded intelligent and patriotic treat
ment of the roads by the speople IS rep
resentatives.
This proposition, however, met no en-
encouragement from the organs and adj
vocates of the roads or from the blind,
unreasoning advocates of extreme legis-
lation, and no attention was given it.
Recent events Justify THE GAZETTE s
