HELL AND THE ROAD THERE

THERE is JOY in hell whenever men
lose their self-respect.
THERE are no free passes given on any
of the roads that lead to the pit.
THE devil always keeps the hinges Of
the gate to the pit well CREASED.
THE first mile on the road to hell
looks as though it led straight to
Heaven.
PEOPLE who are on their way to
Heaven never stop TO try to prove that
there is no hell.

looking than the truth, the way TO the
pit wouldn't be so crowded.-Ram's

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Boston Herald says of Saturday S
Lynn-Lewiston game: The feature of
the game was wonderful one-handed
catch by Siefke in the third inning.
The fielding of the Lewistons was
nearly perfect, but they lost on account
of their inability to hit Condoff.
The Sun to-day says: Conner caught
the ball with a savage swing that drove
it far out of the grounds. It went over
the right field fence, and for about half
a block further than that, and while it
was still rolling big Roger crossed the
plate with Richardson jogging in ahead
of him. The hit was one of the biggest
ever made in Chicago, and some of the
folks who saw it say if it had been
driven straight down the field it would
have accomplished the unheard of per-
Torrance of clearing the end fence.

POLICE COURT.
Patroski Held For Trial Before the
Superior Court.

Superior Court.
The iial of John Patroski for the
theft of $3.50 was resumed this morning
and such a conglomerated mess of testi-
mony has seldom been given in the
court. Two other prisoners were in
the box for being implicated in the
theft They were Sylvester and George
Prisavage. Officer Dodds was detailed
to work on the case. He went among
cused and Grezenski, from whom the
money was stolen, but could not make
much head way, being unable to under
stand their language. About half past
ten last night Officer Dodds was fol-
lowed into the station by John Prisa-
wage, who told the officer that his
brothers had money which they took
from Patroski. NJ. j. BrZezinSki was
secured to act as interpreter and got an
admission from Patroski that he had
stolen the money, but that the Pris-
avaees had taken it from him. Syl-
vester and George Prisavage were then
arrested and the former admitted that
he had taken So from Patroski. Bills
amounting to $S1 were found in lis trunk
and in his brothers trunk was found
$50 in United States currency and S25
in Russian money. George claimed the
money was his own. Patroski and John
Prisavage tried to deny their con
versation last night, but the latter final
be induced to say much, but denied all
knowle dge of the money. Judge Cowell
found probable cause and bound Patroski
and Sylvester PriSavage over to the next
term of the superior court under $500
bonds. When George was acquitted he
demanded his money, but M. j. BrzeZin-
ski had attached. it in the interest of a

John OConnell, a boy of IS, was
charged with assault. Sunday after
noon he with other boys were singing a
comic song near the Baldwin street
bridge when Bernard Calvin came
along. The latter's name was worded
into the song in such a way as to create
laugh. This incensed Calvin SO he
picked up a stone and threw it at
O'Connell. The latter ran into Long
worth's stable pursued by Calvin.
O'Connell was thrown down. He had
an open knife in his hand and as Calvin
turned to go away he threw the knife
after him. The open blade penetrated
Galvin's back. DR. Hayes was called
who dressed the wound. O'Connell
said that Calvin kicked and beat him
and he had the knife cutting a stick.
Judge Cowell asked him what the song
was and O'Connell proceeded to give
the court and spectators comic ditty
until stopped by his honor Judge
Cowell was inclined to inflict penalty,
but decided to let the boy off with a
reprimand.
John Cavanaugh, charged with non
support, had his case continued for two
weeks.
Arthur Juno was also charged with
non-support. His wife said that for the
past week she had no help from her
husband. She has five children the

An Unknown Man Killed on the New
England Road at Hartford.
An unknown man, 40 to 45 years of
age, of dark complexion, with a heavy
black moustache and weighing about
200 pounds, was struck by the New Eng
land train leaving Hartford at l. o'clock
last night for New Britain, and instantly

train passed, and after raising the gates
found a mans shoe at the crossing.
Further up the track were found pieces

where the man was apparently struck
by the passing train, lying outside the
left rail, was the legless trunk intact,
completely severed below the waist,
Some portions of his other leg were
found south of the crossing. Altogether
his body was found scattered along the
track for distance of apout 300 feet.
The man was fairly well dressed. Near

in copy of the New York Sun of last

That owing to the low price of sugar, he

Cookies for Fifteen Cents.
Kelly also says that he sells Flour, Sugar
and Bread Cheaper than any baker in this
country.
How is it that Kelly can sell cheaper
than other dealerse Because he buys di-
rect from the manufacturers and sells
strictly for cash.

you will never bake. The same for his

An Interesting Explanation.

1t was telegraphed on Saturday that
the Long Island railroad and the Housa-
tonic and New England had arranged
an all-rail line from Brooklyn to Boston
via Wilson's Point, crossing the sound
on a swift car-carrying steamer, and
people taking the cars at Flatbush ave-
nue. station would reach Boston as
quickly as by the Grand Central depot
and the Consolidated road. 1t struck
some people as altogether unlikely that
the same time could be made by this
new route with its ferry as by the old
route, and further explanation has been
sought. 1t appears now that the an
nouncement has been misread; The
explanation given is that people can
reach Boston from the Flatbush ave-
nue. station as quickly as they could
reach Boston from there by the other
line; in other words, that the time from
Brooklyn to the Grand Central must be
considered, too,
