FIRST DEFEAT.
The Waterburys Drop a Loosely Played
Game to the Willimantics.

Game to the Willimantics.
There is one thing that Manager Peoples
will have to do to satisfy the cranks and
that is to put Battam far, far away from
short stop and try to induce Sneeden and
in fact all the out felders to get a gait on
them when the ball is in their territory
The playing of those positions was very
ragged yesterday. Jimmy Donnelly ought
to stay in New Haven and learn pointers
from some boy umpires. No umpire can
judge foul ball without running out on
the line, but Umpire Donnelly
seems to have leaden soles on his shoes
for he never runs or even walk out on
the line. Norton needs a bigger bat, or
else his eye is failing him. Strike your
old game there, boy or the people will get
after you. Sneeden, Fox, Mackie and
Peoples are hitting hard and will do. The
whole team needs ginger. The score of
yesterdays game shows that it was lost
after the Waterburys had it well in hand:

special cars. and the play will be en-
bellished in the same complete manner as
in New York, Two great sentimental and
sensational features are announced, viz:
An old-fashioned husking bee, in which a
score or more people are used, running
horse race in which five thoroughbreds are
seen running full tilt, in all the enthu-
siasm of close finish. In this scene over

superior to The Old Homestead" in its
portrayal of New England character. At

BRooKFIELD, Mo-, May 17.-The chances
for capturing Bill and George Taylor, the
murderers of the Meeks family, look very
slim. Many of the men who have been
vigilant in the search since Friday have
given up and returned home. The coun-
try searched is about the worst in the
state. Aside from this it is known that
the Taylors have friends who have spread
false clews and hindered the chase in every
possible way

The 7. F. Judson Store

Big mark down on our whole stock of
Ladies and Children's Goats, Jackets and
Capes, beginning Friday and continuing
until all our garments are sold.
1t is very early in the season to think of
making such sacrifice but we must have
the space the garments now occupy in our
Cloak room to enable US to properly dis
play Ladies' Suits that are daily arriving.
We received our Spring garments early in
the season, have had a satisfactory trade
on them and propose to close out all we
now have on hand at greatly reduced
prices. Not single garment will be re-
served, all will be marked down to so low
a price that many who have been waiting
for the June mark down, can take advan-
tage of this opportunity and purchase now
and by so doing get a months wear from a
garment just when it is most needed. We
wi III to be understood, not a garment will
reserved. Our entire stock will go on sale
Friday at big sacrifice. Black Diagonal
Jackets with large gathered sleeves, REFER
style, full skirt. Light mixed covered
coats, close fitting, full sleeves and skirts
High grade Jackets of every description,
all to be sold very cheap. Very handsome
black and colored Capos, in browns, tans.
navy, grey and light mixtures. Beautiful
Black MORE Capes with jet and lace
trimmings all going to be closed out at
once.
In Children's Refers and Goats we have
all sizes from to 16 years in garments
that we considered exceptionally good
value and they were, but now they are all
to be sacrificed. These goods which we
offer at this sacrifice sale are new this
spring all in the very latest styles. 1t
seems shame to cut the prices as we are
doing but we must have the room. Our
suits are demanding more room and we
must have it for them, SO the coats have
to give way to the suits.
We have some specially good things in
Children's and Ladies' Hosiery and Un-
derwear. We shall put on sale Friday, two
specials. One is handsome Ecru Jersey
Vest at 12Ac. This would be good value
at Csc. Not more than Is dozen in all and
they won't last long.
Our second special bargain is boys or
girls ribbed Cotton Hose, finished feet,
double heel and toe. All sizes 6 to 81 for
1910. The tan color and black Cotton
Hose for ladies that we are selling for 1Oc
and 12c are going quick and they ought to.
Have you seen the four button gloves,
we are selling so many of at CSC pair. When
allowed to do so we fit each pair of Kid
Gloves we sell. Our trade in this depart
ment has more than doubled in the last
month.

Bringing Up of Mothers.

A young person has been writing an
artic g on the bringing up of mothers.
Thirty years ago mothers were not
brought up; they just grew. They
wore caps early, gave up dancing when
their children were in short frocks and
knickerbockers, and developed all sorts
of Incorrect ideas about chaperons
and firtations. Formerly the young
idea was trained the way it should GO.
Now the old tree is pruned aud pared
into shape. Girls have assumed the
responsibility OF looking after their
mothers. Mothers are kept to see ID a
well-ordered house, c-ax refractory
fathers and attend to bores. They
must, morcover. be ornamental, look
we'll at the head of the table, dress be-
com ngly, keep up with the fashions,
look nice when the girls take them
out with them, and smile encouraging
ly at the young men. Nor are their
morals forgotten. Frequently one
hears girl say: 1T is an interesting
show, but not one Id care to take my
mother to-"
