He Must Catch Up In His Reeitations-
 Ten Candidates For she Position.
 Bates, the coming college pitcher and on whom Harvard has placed all her reliance to win the championship this season, is liable to be dropped from college as he has "cut" his recirations. He was warned by the fac ulty but paid no heed. He will have until Feb. 19 in which to ''catch up" in his ex- amiuations. His friends think he will &C., complish the task, but many think he will fail
 Clarkson is getting $100 a week for coaoh- ing the Harvard team.
 Although there are about ten candidates for pitcher for the vario us hines, Mr. Clark son devotes the most of his time to Harry Bates. The young Newton fad is not yet in very good condition, but he is working in slowly and shows marked improvement over last year, both in his position in the box, which Is good deal irmsr, and his delivery. When Bates enters the cage in the afternoon not solitary individual, except Henshaw and Willard, are permitted to watch the proceed ings. Like all young and undeveloped pitch CTS, Bates has pitched with main force here- tofors, but has learned now that method is as necessary in twirling 6 ball as in any de- partment of life.
 Luce is also improving and will make an excellent substitute for Bates. He is the swifter pitcher of the two, but has not that masterly control of the curves.

Notwithstanding the very unfavorable weather Sunday afternoon relatives and many friends assembled at the residence of the late William Church in West Haven at o'clock for prayers. Yesterday afternoon Annawan lodge, F. and A. A., of which Nr. Church was a member, took the 1 o'clock train on

 | though afterwards engaged in the milling < business in Oxford, at which is now known \ as the Daniel Riggs place, near the Seymour | line, with 8 man named Pritchard. The partnership was finally dissolved and MT. | Church came to Derby and started up the | old mill that stands on the bank of the Nau- ! gatuck river, near where the Derby and Nau- f gatuck roads cross. This was in 1868, and | he continued there about two years before | selling out and removing to West Haven. ' There he engaged in the life insurance busi- \ ness, also the selling of patent rights, and was very successful canvasser. The last ! two years he has been acting as agent for Wilson Waddingham, the West Haven mil~ ' lionaire, having the care of his property. At ! the time his sickness commenced he was making preparations to go to Mexico to look after Nr. Waddingham's interests there. He was a very genial companion, and to know him was to like him.

weak Luags mado strong.

Persons who stay in doors all the time and lean over counter or a desk, sooner or later discover that their lungs are giving out. Erastus R. Southerland, editor of the Eastern State Journal, White Plains, N. Y., writes:
 'I have used Allsock's Porous PlAsters in my family since 1888. In that year had an attack of pneumonia from which was not expected to recover. My lungs were left in e very weak state. I commenced using Allcock' 6 Porous Plasters, wearing them constantly three months, two on the breast and two on the back. The result was surprising, at least to me. The pains in my lungs had left me, and felt like "a giant refreshed with new wine."

WAS FROM LITCHFIELD. Formerly Q Litch0ela merchant-The Man Believed te Have Been Murder

Formerly Q L1tCh40l0 mefCh0MG-The Man Believed to Have Been Murder ed by Strikers.
 Henry W. Adams, who lived at 146 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn, and who last Sat- urday applied for and obtained work on the Atlantic avenue surface road (the employees of which are on strike) and who was found lying in the street dead, his head battered and brusised, was an unmarried man and lived with his brother-in-law, MT. Wheelock. A few years ago he was merchant in Litch- field, Conn. A series of speculations broke up his business, and he came to live with his brother-in-law in Brooklyn, and until six weeks ago was 8 clerk in Mr. Wheelock's Maiden Lane office. Not having any en- ployment, and being exceeding anxious for work, he spoke to MT. Wheelock about mak- ing application to President Richardson.
 The police made four arrests in connection with the case.
 William J. Richardson made thorough investigation into the death of Adams, and concluded that he had been murdered. "It is outrageous" ," he said, "thAt a man cannot seek work in this city without endangering his life Until that mans murderer is brought to justice not a wheel on this road will be turned by union men. We will not treat with murderers nor with those morally responsible for murder. We shall right away begin business afresh ,and shall operate this road if the city protects our property as the law says it must"

mercury, Venu. and mar.

These three planets are now visible in the
 west shortly after sunset. They form to-
 gether with the earth what might be termed
 the interior group of planets, and are all of
 small size compared with the outer group,
 from which they are separated by the minor
 planets or asteroids.
 Little is known of the physical condition on Mercury and Venus, the dense cloudy att mosphere of the latter planet preventing any view of its surface. Mars, however, presents to our view markings which appear to us as the land, water and snowy poles of the earth would if viewed from e similar distance. The illuminated portions of the disks of both Venus and Mercury are now gibbons, that is to say, that they have the appearance @ day or so after the first quarter.
 Mercury is seldom visible without optical assistance In these northern olimes, but is now in good position to be seen with the naked eye. It appears ss moderately | bright twinkling star thls being the only planet that does scintillate) about fifteen de- grees above and little to the north of the sunset point.
 Venus is the conspicuous star high up in the western heavens. Mars, now dwindled apparently to @ small star, is the red planet about ten degrees southwest of it.

Stocks open HiEher and After a De- cline is Checked the EIarket Becomes
 Dull, but Recovers and Closes Firm.

NRW YORK, Jan. 2S Stocks opened generally from 4 to 1k per cent higher in sympathy for the higher market for Americans in London, but the drive at Atchison and Missouri soon started downward movement in the general list. Atchison yielded 1ss and Mis- souri Pacific, and while Lackawanna was at tackled rather sharply, its loss only fractional and the impression on tho rest of the list was en- hrely insignificant. After the check was given to the declining tendency intense duliness ovsrspread the list, and, while firm undertone was shown there was no movement or feature to the dealings except the advance in Pullman. In the last hour, however. the covering of shorts, with a more con-
 ident buying for tho long account, led to marked increase in the amount of business done and 0 full recovery in almost everything traded in. The close was active and strong and at. generally, the best prices of the day. The railroad bond market was more active than on any day so far this year. The sales to-day aggregated s. 757,ooo. The Read. ing per cents furnished 3112l 0oo and the first in comes $s5s, 900 of the days business.
