WORLD OF SPORTS.

Lachance cost Brooklyn $1 00O.
 Ansons new second baseman, John J O'Brien, played for time with the Brooklyns in 1891. He was regarded as d promising man even then.
 Jim" uanilboe, an old tune ball player, boozed himself into eternity at Columbus. He was found dead the other day in :he parlor of his home.
 The New Works have played 26 players this season up to date, Cincin- natl 21. Cleveland and St Louis B, Chicago and Baltimore -. louisville 2l, Pittshurg and Brooklyn l9, Washington and Philadelphia l6, Boston 11. This makes total of 2l1 and the season has over month yet to run.
 The only thing that can hurt the Bos tons for the next five weeks is a possi- bility that their pitching department may give out. Several times this sum mer the Bnstons have been threatened with a collapse in that important par tiCular. Stivetts has been more unre- liable than before on account of sick ness ani because of the injury he re Ceived in the collision at Chicago with Anson. In fielding the BOstOns are not likely to change, and their batting will he as strong as it has been the season | through.
 The BoStons have not gained their en- viable position to-day because their pitchers were extraordinarily strong. | Take two of the quartette out of the team and give them, say, to Louisville or Washington and the chances are s To 1 that they would rank either as failures or men of mediocre worth. That pair
 is Staley and Gastright. Good or bad
 fielding and batting makes or mars good pitchers.
 The Charter Oak park races will be Iheld this year in connection with the meeting of the Fleetwood Driving Park
 Association, at Fleetwood Park, N. '. Tickets will be on sale at the Naugatuck

 horses in the country, and purses to the Iamount of ST, ,000 will be distributed.

 test may be expected. The Meriden' have had things their own way in tht games with the loCal team this summer
 but with Bowers. the Yale pitcher in thu box the ACmes exp c, to win tomorrow Denny O'Neill, the hard-hitting frs

The District Fair"


 The comedy element of The District Fair" is one of its chief features. The absence of horse-play is especially note worthy. Characters that make you laugh heartily by natural acting, called out through unforced situations, are e. freshing in this age of trashy farce and "make-ups." You will get all the fun you want in The District Fair" which will be the attraction at Jacques op ra house on Monday, August 2S.

OUTLOOK FOR THE NEW ENGLAND

If Left Alone by Stock Manipulators the
 Road Will Soon be all Right.
 Over on Wall street they are talking decidedly bullish on New York & New England and the conservative element :here are of the opinion that President Mcleod not only meaus business, but that he will accomplish what he is aim ing at.
 Nobody appears to doubt that the road will get it's local entrances into New York city all right, and when finally accomplished it will be the biggest thing in the checkered history of the road.
 It is conceded that if those who have heretofore been unfriendly toward Mir Mcleod and the New England will only let both alone for a time, the New Eng land property will ere long be in an i'm pregnable position.
 At any rate, the general New York sentiment toward the new head of the much maligned road appears to be of the most friendly character.

MAYOR WEBSTER ON LABOR.

Recommends That all Citizens Unite in
 the Observance of September 1.
 Mayor Webster has issued the follow ing proclamation:
 To the Citizens of Waterbury:
 The first Monday in September has been designated and set apart by statute as a holiday known as Labor day. The labor unions of Waterbury, with others from chief points of the state, will cele brate Monday, September as such a holiday by parade, public speaking and games. Upon no part of the com munity is the heavy hand of business depression more heavily laid than upon labor, and it is cause for congratulation that labor in the midst of temporary | embarrassment will courageously cele- brate its day. l earnestly recommend that all, so far as possible, unite in the observance of September 1 with the spirit which prompted the people of the state to set apart one day in the year in recognition of the just claims of labor and the honor that is It's due, and there by help to promote and continue thC pleasant relations that have always ex isted among all classes of our people.

How the Factories Could Evade Paying their Employees in CHECKS.

Bnsiness transactions in Waterbury alona amount in the neighborhood of Si5O OOO week. About $50, 900 of this smonnt k paid out in cash to outside narties by merchants in this city who lou't depcsit in the bank and never pay by check. The other $l00, 900 is paid ont by the other merchants in cheeks which saves the currency in this city for the fact ories to pay their employees. If the mer chants who pay out the $5O,0O0 in cash would deposit their money in the bank and pay bv check. they would still further aid the banks in supplying the factories with cur encv to pay of their employees This would keep the currency in Water bury and evade the necessity of issuing factory checks to employees and would do A great deal towards restoring confidence.
 When going out of town buy return ticket for that will help to keep currency at home. It is the want of currency that is making times so bad.
 Tska Kelly's advice and you will heyer ra1ret ii. Kelly told his democratic friends last November to look at their em- Dlovmeut and vote for their own interests, but like friend Hewitt they needed him not. If Hewitt the grocer had only taken Kelly's advice and used genu- inc entire wheat bread that would give hin, narve and muscle he would not have to advertise for an able bodied man to ke Kelly from talking common sense facts to him about silver on his door steps. ,,,,

 This City.
 NAUGATUCK, Aug 25.-The stock of John M. Page & Co. got a fearful wet ting down again yesterday morning, the wind sweeping the rain clear across through the open windows on two upper floors, and doing much damage. There was also a good deal of damage done about town. Even up at the old May place a black walnut tree, known to be 100 years old, was blown down.
 A team belonging to the E. H. Car rington company ran away Wednesday on Spring street, the wagon striking and breaking off fire hydrant so that the street soon flooded. The water company sent men to straighten things out, and will soon set new bydrant.
 Very little work was done yesterday on outside jobs. The library and school buildings were about at a standstill. For a town with no money being paid out shows are comirg in rather thick. Tomorrow night we have "The Colonel and l." and on "Wednesday next 1.-The Power of Woman" Madame Neuville's new play.
 The Rev MT Ellsworth married a cou- pie last evening. We failed to learn the brides name, but she will now be called Mrs James Churchill.
 The Polander arrested for stealing was discharged by Justice Hungerford. Town Clerk German has his book | ready to register female voters and the | registrars will be in session after thi: week to receive the names of voters tC be made.

A Detective to be Employed to Look ur
 Stolen Bottles.
 A meeting of the State Bottlers' asso- citation was held in New Haven yester- day. It was decided to employ a de tective to obtain bottles which have been taken by junk dealers and distri- buted from one place to another. The result of this distribution is that many bottles of the association are being used for root beer by small bottlers and pri vate families throughout the state.
 The committee on laws reported that the passage of law at the last session of the legislature, making the penalty net less than $1 and not more than $10( for filling, vending or selling bottles be longing to the association, would dC them considerable good. It is intended to make a visit to the small bottling es tablishments throughout the state witt a view to recovering some of the asso Cistion's stolen property.

Harry Kramer and Eva St. Clair Ar
munds Act at the Same Time.

Harry Kramer was arrested yester-
day on a warrant issued by Commits
sioner Early, for a violation of the
Edmunds law. The warrant has been
in the hands of Deputy U. S. Marshal
Standard since last Monday, but he was
unable to locate Kramer, until late
yesterday afternoon. He was found at
Ryder's planning mill, having just
driven up in buggy. 1t is said that
he was preparing to leave town last
night. He was taken before the COM
missioner and placed under bond of
$500 to appear for a hearing next Sat-
urday afternoon. He was unable to
furnish it and was locked up.
The woman in the case is Mrs. Eva
St. Clair, who was found late last night
by Officer Standard in Linyille's addi-
ton. She spent the night in the Jail
reception room. These are the parties
who created commotion at the Marks
house month ago by kicking down the
door of Kramer's room which had been
locked against him on account of the
licentious use he was supposed to be
making OF it. The complaint was
grounded on this incident.
The St. Clair woman has history
She has been spasmodic resident of
Phoenix for two years. She first came
into prominence under the Edmunds
act and under it's copulative influence
married St. Clair, the son of wealthy
andlrespected parents residing at Los
Angeles. Last summer she returned to
the city and took up a residence at the
house of Minnie Powers. Her husb band
appeared few days later and tried to
break into the house to see his wife.
He was arrested and given nominal

SENSIBLE YOUNG MEN
Tired of Doing Nothing They En-

Tired of Doing Nothing They En-
bark in the Chicken Business.
Some two months ago a couple of
young fellows arrived here from Colo
RADIO and took rooms at the Gregory
House. They were Jack Alvord, the
one-armed athletic, who lately figured
in the exhibition at the opera house,
and D. G. Aiken. They struck up q
partnership with John McNanghton, a
young printer, and with. other oc-
casional companions spent a goodly
portion of their time in the shade, of
the umbrella trees in front of their
chosen hostelry. Work was scarce.
What was to be had was not very re-
munerative. The weather was not and
several weeks were passed by the boys
idllng, playing cards, swapping stories
and joking awy the days, in the mean
time, to use horsey expression, eating
their heads off several times. ri
Suddenly bright idea struck one, of
them. They would embark in the bust
ness OF chicken raising. 1t was prompt
ly acted upon. They rented five acre
ranch near the Insane Asylum, with a
partially furnished house for 500 a
year, invested in a cheap horse and
light wagon, some groceries and stocked
the place with 100 chickens. The latter
are doing nicely. Already the income
from eggs is almost sufficient to pay
living expenses. Prospects are excel
lent. The boys are enjoying life hugely.
are producing something and spending
these beautiful au Eumn days with profit
as we'll as pleasure. Unless signs fail
they will never pass happier winter
than the one which is approaching.
They are rapidly bringing to a paying
basis business which once esta blished
may grow to inestimable size and be the
foundation of the future fortune of one
if not all of them.
