Umpire Tyler Orders the Waterburys to Finish n Game With Fight Men.


 Umpire Tyler Orders the waterburys to
 Finish Game With Eight Men.
 Umpire Bob" Tyler, who officiated at the opening game in New Britain, yesterday, roasted the Waterburys so outrageously that the team left the field in disgust and the game was declared forfeited by the score of 9 to o. IT e end is not yet, however. The game opened with Waterbury at the bat and was devoid of interest until the second inning, when Waterbury scored a run. They added two more runs in the next inning and in the fourth the home team scored for the first time. At the end of the fifth inning Wells, who was in the box for the Waterburys, said he was un- able to finish the game owing to a lame arm, and the new man, Garry. was brought in. He proved wild and after striking one man, giving the next his base on balls. and having three balls called on th" third. he retired and Con dutf was put in the hoN Wells going to the, bench The New Britains SCOT, d only one run leaving the score 3 to in favor of the WaterburyS. In the seventh inning Coudotf found fault with a de cislon of TNler's, on balls and strikes and was ordered to retire 10 he bench. This left the club with only eight men, as Tyler refused to allow Wells to return to the game. Of course the Waterburys refused to continue with eight men, and left the field. the game being given to the New BrItainS by the score of to O. Most of the spectators were disgusted with the turn affairs took and the umpire was severely criticized. Tyler formerly lived in this city, and was stage hand at the opera house. He entertains no friendship for Waterbury, but of course | this had nothing to do with his bad break yesterday. However, we shall see.

 Frank McGregor has been restored to the National Trotting association. The directors of the Derby Driving associa- | ton voted to release the fine against him imposed because M. Flaherty failed to pay hIs entrance money at the meet ing after the horse and owner had been expelled at Norwalk. This straightens the matter out and the horse can now trot on the National association tracks.
 Farmer" Platt, the much lauded light weight prize pugilist of Water bury ,and a colored gentleman who bears the ancient name of Caesar, got into an alteration in their work room yeSter- day and as consequence pitched bat tie was fought. Caesar resented an epithet applied to him and to settle the argument both retired to the yard. Here strength proved too much for science and as a result Platt to-day car ries few bruises. Caesar received one mark on his lip.
 The Hartfords will play on the West End grounds st 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. A good game may be ex- pected.

ADJUSTMENTS.
.An,orita.,

"AmOrita."
 ''Amorita," as presented at the opera house last evening by Pauline Hall and about half of her original company, at things in the way of opera that has been seen in Waterbury for many moons. Miss Hall, who appeared as Angelo, a sculptor, makes pretty boy and sings with spirit and effect, and Miss Homie Weldon, who has a sweet voice and modest demeanor sang and acted her part well. Charles H. Drew, the come dian, worked hard to add some drollery to the libretto and when he abandoned tEe lines and depended upon his own efforts he was at his best. He was the only one of the male cast whose singing was worthy of mention. Arthur E. Miller. a baritone or tenor, or both, acted well enough, but his singing was wretched. His gyrations in the pretty solo, My Native Land," were painful to witness. The chorus was inclined to be flat and the orchestra was hardly up to pitch, tiguratively spea king. The whole production was just about what might be expected at popular prices. Washburn X Arlington's Circus. Washburn & Arlingtons circus will be here Thursday of next week.

$ U G A R. What Kelly Says Must Be So.

The worlds visible supply of sugar at the latest date is 1,6O6, ,044 tons, as against 1, ,494, ,795 a year ago, showing an increase this year of Ill ,249 tons. This should prevent any great increase in the price of sugar for this year. Another cause that will prevent any material advance in sugar is the Mckinley bill, which by a re- duction on Scotch and German sugars prevents any large increase of price by trusts and combinations among refners in this country. Another of Kelly's reasons for nominating Mckinley for president in 1899. However, Kelly predicts that sugar is selling to day as low as it is possible to make it. He is loading up large stock, and if housekeepers believe in his pre- dictions they will follow his example. Kelly sells more bread for quarter than any other baker in the world.

A Funny Problem.

1t was warm, sleepy afternoon, and
the scholars in Miss Plummer's school
looked and acted as if they wished 4
O'Clock would come quickly. The class
in mental arithmetic were lazily drOning
through their lessons, when Dea. Day
popped his CHEEKY face in at the door.
All the children loved him, and were
glad when he came to visit the school.
Perhaps he saw they needed something
to wake them up, so when the class was
through with the lesson he gave them
this problem: elf Is cows were going
through narrow gate where only one
could pass at time, which cow could
look back and say, There are II pairs of
horns behind me?'" The class thought
busily for minute; then up came Tom
my Tufts hand. (which one, Tom
my ?" asked the deacon. "The seventh"
emo" Another minute of study, then
Celia Brown put up her hand. "What
do you think, Celia?" 81 think it might
be the eighth, for when the COW turned
her head to look back her own horns
would be behind her, wouldn't they?''
"No, it isn't the eighth" the deacon
said. About the same time little Johnny
Hartshorn, on the front seat, began to
smoker. "What are you laughing at,
johnny" asked Miss Plummer. "Cows
-can't-talk!" giggled Johnny. Dea.
Day laughed, too, then. "Johnny has
answered it," he said. "None of the
COWS could do it, of course" Then all
the scholars laughed and woke up fol
the rest of the day, and Dea. Day bowed
himself out.

sidewalk between Madison square and
Thirty-third street. There is not reg
ular promenader in the neighborhood
who doesn't know my mirror. Women
anticipate it block away, and when
they arrive opposite to it they take a
quick glance to see if they are looking
well. 1t is just here that catch them
That is peculiar mirror. 1t lends a
fresh color to nearly every face. 1t re-
fuses to reflect sallowness, and at the
same time it softens the tip of a too red

every time they pass it they get such a
picture of themselves that they are made
happy"

Illegible writing.
[From Harper's Bazaar. !

Illegible writing is considered by many
people one of the marks of superior
mind. The inference is that those who
are bumened with many and great
thoughts cannot be expected to take time
to put them into sensible, everyday
English, and afterward write them out
in clear, plain hand for the benefit OF
the unfortunate person who may have to
decipher them. Such work is too COM
monplace for noble intellects. 1t is not
to be denied that illegible writing has
some advantages. 1t is great conven-
fence to bad spelling. If the words can
not be interpreted at all, no one on earth
can say if they are rightly or wrongly
spelled. 1t is boon to people who do
not know their own minds. There is no
danger that anybody will discover the
fact. If the writing is done because of
painful duty or still more painful COM
pliment owed, of which the sooner all
trace is lost the better, the illegible writ
ing is proof that the compliment or duty
was paid, and absolves; the writer of all
further responsibility. He cannot be
bound by words which no one is able to
affirm he ever wrote. But if the writer
has been taught to write and spell prop
erly, if he has intelligence enough TO
know what he wants to say, and ability
and energy sufficient to say it, there
seems to be no good reason why he
should not clothe his ideas in such dis
tinct fashion that they can be understood
at glance, and by the most careless and
Indifferent reader.

Bought a Halter.

A new story is told of Oliver Walton,
who in his day was the greatest dealer
in good horses near Boston, says the
Lewiston, Me-, Journal. On one occa-
sion he came into Maine and bought an
extra good horse for $500. The horse
breeder was one of the niggardly kind
and asked: Chow are you going to lead
the horse away?''
"With that halter, to be sure" said
Walton, busy counting out the money
for the horse.
"No, sir" said the breeder, " the halter
don't 60 with the horse, it belongs to
me. l did not sell you that"
"What, not let me have halter after
I have given you your price for the
horse?" asked old Oliver. "What do
you want for it?''
ga dollar, SIR" said the farmer.
"All right" said Walton, "here is the
dollar" He put the rest of his money
in his pocket, then stepped quickly to
the horses head and remarked: 81 will
take the halter, but l guess l will not
take the horse.'
He took off the halter, let the horse &C
loose, and the breeder had many long
day in which to repent of his overreach
ing.

An Editorial Nuisance.
From Troy Times,l

Syndicate slush and pot-metal carica-
lures at $3.50 to 50 page do not make
the wholesome newspaper; do not con-
stitute enterprising and useful journal
ism, even though the mess be seasoned
with sensational horrors; do not afford
an intellectual pabulum promotive of
growth in knowledge which makes for
good citizenship, rational enjoyment and
happy living. Bohemian trash spread
out by the page in malodorous elusive
ness, with barbarous cuts to illustrate
the nasty show, is not reputable editor
ship; it is editorial nuisance, and soon,
as popular curiosity is stated with it,
abated and finally suppressed, it will be
in the interest of public decency and in
behalf of the common public welfare.
Ceasing to be popular even as an unsa-
worry novelty, it will cease to be success
full; and failing to pay, as in the end
dirty jobs generally do fail in the matter
of pecuniary investment, it will be elm
mated as the dry rot of demoralized and
sickly journalism. A sound
ship well manned, with good sailing
qualities and safe, efficient and clearly
management, is preferred to the unsafe
craft of rotten hulk and bilge-water
odors, with unsteady pilotage and reck-
less service. run for " filthy lucre" in def
ance of the laws of safety and menaced
with the constant danger of shipwreck
which it is certain in the end to encoun-
ter.

The yard was originally the length of
a kings arm the foot, the length of his
pedal extremities. The word inch is
derived from the Latin uncia, twelfth
part, but why the foot was divided into
twelfths, instead of tenths or elevenths,
no one claims to be wise enough tell.
Probably the inch was originally the
length of the second joint of the fore
