Down With Butter.
 J A1

KELLY again comes forward as the friend of the consumer. He has done his part in bringing down prices on bread, flour, eggs and sugar and now he is going to bring the butter market to point where the poor as well as the rich can buy the famous Vermont Print Butter" and Elgin Creamery Owing to the large quantity of hay and corn grown in this country there is no reason why the best tub butter should sell for more than 25 cents per pound, Kelly commences to- day to sell at this figure and gives you a guarantee that it won't cost any mo till Nov. 1, '92. How can Kelly do ita buying direct and selling for cash. Under this same system he sells you flour at $5. 50 per barrel, your eggs forlS cents dozen and % pounds of sugar for $1.
 PRINT BUTTER drops from 35c to 29c. The parties making butter sell to New York commission men, who sell it toBridge- port jobbers, who send an agent to this city to sell in one or two tub lots. Every transaction with the freight included adds from to 2 cents pound, making a total of 6 or z cents before it is put on the table. Kelly's system does away with all this. Butter for sale at his stores.

For new player, Pitcher Bowers of Yale college is aWonder, says the New York Telegram He has faced the Bos- ton league club,S and kept the hits of that strong aggregation down to single figures and prevented them from being punched. He has terrific speed, and can vary his delivery at wifi. In the box he is as cool as ice, and is not rattled by the forging ahead of his opponents. 't,
 And Anson says he will not play Sunday ball because there is no money in it, yet over 10000 people saw the game in St Louis on Sunday last. .Evi-- densly Chris von der Ahe differs from the Chicago captain.
 Jim O'Rourke is probably in better shape than any other man on the New York team. He goes about his work in the propper way. Beginning in Janu- ary, he throws the ball at a brick wall and indulges in light gymnasium work. The result was apparent at Richmond, where he went on the field, ran five miles, threw the ball and played several games without being troubled by the soreness and stiffness which characteriz- ed the other men.

LOCKED IN A FREIGHT CAR.
Four Waterbury Youngsters Taken Ul

Four Waterbury Youngsters Taken Up
 By the DaDburv Police.
 Four small and very tired youngsters slumbered in the softest corner they could find in the police station yester- day, says the Danbury News of Satur- day, and nearly cried their eyes out until they were put aboard the 7:05 train for Waterbury last night.
 The blotter said that they were Willie Martie Cokely, 16, and Mickey Cava- naugh, IA. It also called them rum away boys from Waterbury, but the youngsters tearfully protested.
 They had a day off Wednesday and went to see ball game in Waterbury. On they way home they climbed into an empty freight car and commenced a game of "old maid" The game proved so interesting that they were surprised when they found themselves prisoners in the car. They cried and pounded on the door with all their might but no one came. They rode all night and at 4 o'clock Thursday morning the car was opened and they climbed out in Fish kill.
 The boys started back towards Water bury. It took them until late Thursday night to reach Danbury, which is forty seven miles from Fishkill. They walked all the way.
 In the meantime anxious friends in Waterbury had been to the police sta- ton, and all the towns in thiS neiRhbor- hood were asked to look out for four runaway boys. -
 Officer Sullivan found them on White street and took them to the station, where they were kept until their friends in Waterbury were notified and sent for thetn.

''PrinOe and Pauper."

KEAnC0 ana EoupeFs'
 Mark Twain once wrote a pretty tale in which prince, in a boyish freak changed garments with little pauper, and suffered a good many misadven- lures after he had tired of the subse- quent change of position, or before he could persuade any one that he was really the prince and not a ragged inn poster. Mrs Abby Sage Richardson dramatized the story, little Elsie Leslie impersonated the royal and the ragged lads, New York approved and Mark Twain rejoiced. The play will be pro- duced at the opera house this evening.
 ''A Straight Tip"
 John Sparks, for the past seven years leading comedian with Ed Harrigan, at Harrigan's theatre, New York city, is with "A Straight Tip" and playing splendidly the part of an Irish hotel landlord. He has brogue as beautiful as June day morning. The play will be produced at the opera house Wed. nesday evening" 'Tight BelIs."
 One of the most important engage ments of the seasons amusement at the opera house is Flight Bells," which will be gwen on Friday evening. The play has made a great hit wherever it has been presented this season.
