WORLD OF SPORTS

Connie Mack. of the Buffalos, has
been signed by the Boston Players club,
with a view to playing Mike Kelly per-
manently IN the outtield.
Sir James ORourke is but 81 years
old, but he has played ball professional
ly for nineteen years. He never used to-
bacco nor INDUCED in liquor, and no
player ever varied less in weight from
year to year.
There is no truth in the story sent out
from New York that John Ward would
play third base for the Giants this year.
Ward says positively he will not play
alongside certain players who will be
found in the team.
Says the New York Sun: John B..
Day is somewhere in Connecticut. 1t
would not be surprising to find out when
he returns that he has signed Roger
Common.

Mysterious Disappearance eff Two
Industrial school Inmates.
Following the disappearance of Dora
and Mary Berger from the Industrial
school in Middletown, comes the report
of the disappearance of two other girls
from that institution. They were on
the roll of honor and were accol ded
more liberty than Extraordinary inmates.
They were given leave to visit their
homes in New Haven, and were to have
returned Saturday last. They have not
yet made their appearance, and although
seen in New Haven, Saturday, cannot
now be found by the authorities.
Patrick Burke, an elderly man who
resides on Hamilton street, New Haven,
left home Monday morning and has not
been seen since. He was walking in
the direction of East Haven early in the
morning and it is said he was in a half
demented condition.
Mrs John Rand, wife of one of the
best known fishermen of Essex, has left
for parts unknown, and her husband
thinks she has eloped.
Ernest Sail, 10 years, disappeared
from his home at 20 Alden street, Hart
ford, yesterday. He wore a blue chew
lot overcoat and black cheviot suit.
His parents are anxious to learn of his
whereabouts.
William Des5row, a boss painter in
Bridgeport, has run away, leaving his
wife behind and number of employ es,
to whom he was indebted. He was the
father of Hulda Van Horn. the little
girl abducted from Bridgeport about ten
days ago.

HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
waterbury's Public Building BIZ

Watarbury's Public Building Bill
VIII Probably BE shelved.
A Washington correspondent writes !:
The chances of the passage of the Wa
terbury public building bill, owing to
the action of the senate in pressing the
force bill, is very slim. Congressman
Wilcox has not yet given up hope, but
it is verv evident that the house is not
at present in a mood to pass such, bills.
He has been working hard for the bill
and is confident that it will be among
the first to be called up when the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
is given day by the speaker. But the
speaker to punish the democrats for fill
clustering does not intend to allow any
bills of this kind to be considered.
Among the other bills affecting state
interests which will probably ALSO have
to go by the board are those to establish
port lights on the Thames river, for the
relief of the New Haven National bank
and for a lightship at Cornfield Point.

Torrington Wants q Lookup.

ToRRINdToN, Jan 21.-The people of
this town are demanding that a lookup,
which will hold prisoners placed there
for safe keeping, will be built imme-
diately. Arrests are made here at the
rate of about six month. One official
says that about half of this number es-
cape in month and are never heard
from again. Two of the prisoners who
escaped this month, twisted the bars
from the window and escaped by leap
ing to the ground. Another of them
kicked hole in the side of the Jail and
was free man. Seldom has prisoner
who escaped been recaptured. The
last man to make his escape from the
Torrington Jail is a young man named
Murphy, who was arrested Saturday
night for creating a disturbance. He
was fined that night and not having
money was ordered sent to the Litch-
field Jail, but owing to the inclement
weather he was placed in the lookup
over night. Sunday morning 1t was
found that he had forced the door open
and had escaped. An affair of this
kind troubles the officials but little for
they make little effort at a recapture
of the Jail breaker or prevent repeti-

HE'S A SLICK ONE.
JAMESON, THE MAN WHO STOLE
THE LAND FILINGS HAS A CLAIM.
A sharp Trick Played on an Hon
est HOmesteader.- Tries 30
Hold Three claims.

SOUTH BEND, Nov. 4.-Land Locator
Jameson, who is wanted by the general
land office on the charge of procuring
filings from that office in connection with
Elder and Andrew Littlejohn, of Tacoma,
has valuable claim near South Bend To-
Gated just east of Captain Streams North
Highlands Addition. His wife and four
children are living on it at the present
time, though Jameson himself has not
been seen there for several months. He
secured this claim under land office reg
ulation by which quarter section which
is bounded on two sides by surveyed lands
can be filed upon by the settler locating
the remaining section post. This Jameson
did, filing over Thomas Doble, who had
been living on the claim for some time and
had spent considerable money in improve
ments in ignorance of this peculiar pro-
vision. Mr.. Dobleis contesting the claim
and his chances for success are improved
by the fact that now Jameson is a fugitive
from Justice. Until lately jameson held
three other claims in the same section by
hiring an Irishman to sleep by turns on
each ranch and to inform any one who at
temptsd to hold one of them that that one
was his particular property. This little
game was recently stopped, however, by
parties going out together and simultane-
ously taking up their abode on the sepa-
rate claims which scheme compelled the
Hibernian land grabber to be content with
only one quarter section.

THE ELECTIONS.

Mckinley yesterday carried Ohio by a
rouslng good majority, thus redeeming
the state from democratic rule. The re-
publicans also carry the legislature, insur-
ing republican successor to Senator
Sherman. Pennsylvania gives a victory
for the republican ticket. In the previous
election held in that state, the democrats
made clean sweep. Russell, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Massachu-
setts, appears to have been reelected by a
very small majority, also Boies, the demo-
cratic governor Of Iowa. Both Of these
governors received big majorities at their
first election, which were greatly reduced
yesterday. The Kansas republicans over
whelmed Peffer's alliance crowd in that
state, while Virginia, Maryland and New
Jersey have continued in the democratic
ranks. Nebraska and Colorado went re-
publican, SO did Chicago.
In New York, the great battle ground OF
the Atlantic states, it will be seen that
Flower has been elected through the apa-
thy of republican voters in the state. In
many localities the vote was very small,
the people not turning out. In New York
City, however, every new aedged citizen
was on hand for Tammany and the Tiger.
The majority for Flower III the city settled
his election.
The elections yesterday apparently
means Hill for president on the demo-
cratic ticket in 1892 and Blaine Gf he will
run) or Mckinley on the republican
ticket. Flowers election, is no surety
that the republicans cannot carry New
York in 1892. Harrison got the electoral
vote last time easily.

ADVERTISING.

Have you advertised your fall and
Christmas goods YETI 1t is said that a
searcher into the philosophy Of advertis-
ing has enunciated the axiom that "circu-
culars hit only once, if at ALL" The gener-
alization is correct enough in a compare
tive sense, though this is not to say that
circulars have not their special use as an
agency Of publicity. But take the case of
q person with a store full of goods; how
many thousand circulars would he have
to get printed and how many dollars
would he have to expend in order to get
the same amount Of publicity by distribu-
ton that he gets in the columns of the
Daily and Weekly TRIBUNE at a cost not
much more than he pays for the printing
and distribution Of his circulars. The
TRIBUNE is read by thousands Of people,
circulars are not. What other system of
publicity exists, at any price that offers
such inducements in Olympia for advertis-
ing as the TRIBUNE? None.
