 Rev pr. Shackleford has dealt stunning blow to the woman suffragsts of the country. He has recently announced that, as 6 result of woman's decided masculinity evidenced by her efforts to secure he ballot, hold office, etc., that the coming woman will have whiskers. He has noted with alarm this growing tendency among the gentler sex, and calls attention to the number of women, young and middle aged, that already sport hir- sute appendage which heretofore has only been worn by men. The reverend doctor gravey informs us that this is the direct result of moral cause and sums up by declaring that the women of the country have the choice Of the ballot and beard no ballot and beard. Already there Is conster- nation in the ranks of the female suragists, many of whom earnestly desire the ballot, but who ob- ject decidedly to wearing whiskers Prominent scientists all over the world now giving the subject the most careful attention and should the result of their investigations bear out Dr. Shackle lords startling conclusions, 1t will be but short time until the woman suffrage movement will be- come thing of the past.
 A lamentable shame that two men, both promi- nent in social and political circles, and distin- guished alike for fine mental sttainments, should meet in a public place and proceed to butcher each other in cold blood. Colonels Swope and Goodloe are both dead, but the country cannot soon forget the manner in which they were brought to untimely graves nor can it cease to condemn code of honor that calls for such sanguinary satisfAction for breaches of its rules.
 The battle between the two men, for battle 1t was, was splendid exhibition of physical courage, but for how small and triding thing was 60 much blood shed and two splendid human lives sacrificed Criticism of the dead would be unkind, and is, besides wholly unnecessary; 1t remains for the living to learn & lesson in love and forbearance and in the practice of those qualities which, after all, are the embodiment of the highest and truest man. hood

Presi dent Bogart of Wilkesbarre was asked what he would take for Tommy Corcoran's re he must pay $1, ,500 for his release, but no such amount as this could be paid. Possibly deal can be arranged.
 Tomney of Louisville was also wired, but it is not known whether he has been released yet or not
 Then there is Nate Kellogg, who played short stop and explained the Manchesters last season. He is great fielder and very loud coscher, one that New Haven people would like He has not signed because he asked too much salary.

Persons Who Were Heard Before That
 Body Last Evening.

The building line committee met in room 10 and il, City Hall, last evening to act on petitions for the establishment of building lines on Wallace street and Grand avenue. Ex-Governor Bigelow and c. s. Mersick, property owners on Stanley street, appeared before the committee and requested an open- ing on the hearing of the petition for a building line on Stanley street. Neither of these gentlemen had received notice of a previous meeting of this committee at which it was decided to recommend the establish street line. The hearing was opened, how ever, and ex-Governor Bigelow stated that he did not wish to appear in the light of an ob- structionist to public improvement, but in his opinion the value and location of the land in question did not warrant the establish ment of 8 building line at 80 great distance from the street. He considered 15 feet his property and the property of the Ives es- tate on Stanley street. He thought 10 feet would be fair building line.
 On Alderman Gilhuly's motion the whole matter was referred to City Engineer Hill for his opinion in the matter
 Thomas Leddy appeared in opposition to the petition for building lines on Wallace street. He stated that the establishment of building line would work serious detriment to him, as his lot is the most shallow on the street.
 William D. Brinley also opposed the peti- tien. None of the petitioners appeared be- fore the committee, and it was voted to rec ommend that the petitioners be given leave to withdraw.
 None of the petitioners for building lines on Grand avenue were present. and no &C., tion was taken on the petition.
 In executive session Engineer Hill express ed his opinion about building lines, and it was voted to recommend the establishment of building line on both sides of Stanley street fifteen feet from the street line.

 It is the same old story. It was New Ha- ven's twelfth straight defeat, and no wonder the people yelled to get g new team.
 The battery work of Homer and Warner was very poor. Horner was hit hard and gave two men their bases on balls who SCOT ed. Warner could not throw little bit, and it was by his wretched work that several runs came in. If Horner had pitched half the game that he did in Hartford the New Ravens would have won. The home team hit the ball hard.
 Sheehan at short was wooden man, His playing days are evidently over.
 In the first inning three runs came in for Easton on single, a base on balls, wild pitch, a wild throw by Fitzgerald, and 8 single.
 New Haven got three in the second on three singles and errors by Doyle and O'Con- nell.
 The feature was two headlong slides by Horner, stop by Corcoran and fine run- ming catch by Hines. Doyle had great deal to do at second. Fitzgerald made splendid double play unassisted.

VALUABLE INFORMATION TO
 HOUSEKEEPERS.
Rochelle Salts In Bread-A Cooks

AOcn6l1o Salts tn Bfe30-A COOA's
 Revenge.
 Cream of tartar and soda are of every day use in the kitchen, yet not one cook out of a thousand knows that he is manufacturing rochelle salts in the bread exactly equal to the amount of cream of tartar and soda he uses.
 If, as rule, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar and one of soda are used for raising a pound of four, three teaspoonfuls of com mercial rochelle salts will positively remain in the bread baked
 It is therefore possible for any i'll disposed cook to administer this physic to the family without their knowledge. Its presence would not be detected, as it's bitter taste is counter acted or destroyed by the sugar and gluten of the flour.
 For practical proof, use three times the quantity necessary for properly raising bread and eat one-third of the biscuits.
 Rochelle salts (three- ffths of which is tar trate of potassium, medicine producing ab- normal action of the kidneys), should never enter the system unless prescribed by phy- sician.
