BASE BALL.

The st Joseph's Win tn LttchfAeld and
 the Donahne Brothers Cover Them
 selves With Glory in Hartford.
 The St Joseph's T. A. society base ball team went to Litchfield yesterday and played game with team belonging in that town. The boys went up in canopy top wagons and were met on entering the place by deputation from the Litchhelds and treated to royal reception. When the game was called there was large num- Der of spectators on the grounds and great hopes were entertained of the local club carrying off the honors. But these hopes were shortlived for the game was not well under way when the superiority of the St Joseph's was made manifest to all and at the close the score stood 14 to ' in favor of the visitors. There was great rejoicing when the result was announced in the rooms of the society last night, and the members are beginning to think seriously of putting nine in the | state league next year, if such an organiza- ton should be forn ed. One of the members said to-day that the society would agitate for the formation of state league and would use every means in it's power to ! bring the matter to successful issue and would put nine in. the field that would be sure to make a creditable showing at the end of the season. It is understood that an effort will be made to have Roger Con- nor become associated with the club. not with any view to adding any more laurels to those he has already won on the dia- mond all over the country, but rather tc help the boys along. for it is we'll known fact that his name would be a tower oi strength to the club and would give au impetus to base ball in Waterbury, whict it could not acquire in any other way.
 The Hartfords yesterday defeated the crack Torrington team by the score of It to 3. The Couraut says: "Red" Dono hue pitched for the Hartfords and up tt the ninth inning only two hits were made of him. The Torringtons made two rum
 in the last inning and scored but twice during the game. "Red" Donohue'E bro ther. "Tobasco" Donohue, played fol the first time with the home team and h. | was the hero of the afternoon. In th
 second inning he knocked the ball over tn
 right field fence for home run, and in tn
 same inning he made another run, Dwye giving him four bad balls. ln the fourtl inning he made single and in the fifth
 double. Then he caught four flies, one
 very difficult one. He caused much laugh ter when he caught one fly by droppin
 his glove as soon as the ball touched hi hands He was also comical in the coach ing lines and wore one red stocking an one black one. When he had a strike an two balls called the boys would veil. "On

STATE SAVINGS BANKS.
Business Methods, PrObity and SRfety y
 the Rule.

Business Methods, Probity and Safety
 the Rule.
 The Norwich Bulletin" prints the fol- lowing explanation of how savings banks are and ought to be conducted:
 In carrying on the business of a savings bank (and what am about to write Is the exact practice of an institution not hun dred miles from your city,) there is a meeting of directors every Monday morn ing at 8 o'clock. Nothing interferes with it's being held A record of these meet ings is kept. so that every transaction that has involved the loanirg of money, the purchase of bonds or other securities from the banks beginning is a matter of con- plete history. No loan is ever made CT money paid out in any way, with the ex- ception of insignificant current expenses. without a unanimous vote of the directors present, of whom there must be five to form a quorum Every loan can be found in three places: On the record book when it was voted, in the package of notes and in the loan book.
 On the deposit ledgers every depositor's account stands complete Every deposit made or withdrawn shows the year and the day when che or the other was done; and the exact bslA' ra due the depositors. excepting any later st that may have ac- Cfu( q since tDS lA | q NtQSnu- -st VSr more than six mCnths- r.ti. be found and stated to the iuquirer in Lot to exceed ere min ute of time
 Every letter writt,n, has the ref. renee directly or indirectly to the banks busi- ness copied, and the. letter book is open for the inspection ot the dire ctors; and | every week the exact amount to the penny due the depositors is reported, and fre- quently, where it is all invested.
 The astonishing thing is if what is re ported of the Dime savings bank of Willi- mantle is even approximately true, how it was possible for a board of directors to be ignorant of the treasurer's way of doing business; and if not ignorant of it how they ] could allow it t. continue with the result | that was inevitable.
 The business of the savings banks in Connecticut (that are what they should b ] and nine tenths, yes, ninety -nine-one | bundreths, of them all is conducted in a way that is beyond criticism. With inter- ests so vast. it must be in order to win con- | fdence and hold it; and the percentage of lossess which they make in the investment of their scores of millions is infnitesnal | when compared with those that the men 1 and women make in invt sting for them selves Once in while we have Willi. mantle case but they are few, and will be | fewer as the years go on.

He Appears to Selectnian Smith and
 Scares a Bull Dog Out of Years
 Growth.
 Last Saturday Selectman Riley w. Smith of Winsted went up to Colebrook on busi. ness. MT Smith, while there, went over into the fields and began picking and eat ing berries from the low bushes in the field.
 While he was stopping. over picking the berries, his bull dog, which is noted for it's pluck, ran with a whine to him and stationed itself between his legs, Mir Smith being in bent over position. A second afterwards large man stark naked, and covered with hair. ran out of clump of bushes, and with fearful yells and cries, made for the woods with lightning speed, where he soon disappeared.
 Selectman Smith is powerful wiry man and has the reputation of having lots of sand, and his bull dog is also noted for it's pluck. But MT Smith admits that he was badly scared and that his dog was fairly paralyzed with fear.

 One of the most prolific sources of evil at 0. N G encampment has been the sale and delivery of beer through thr streets of the camp by vendors from neighboring communities.

GreaseFs Coming East.

The lower class of Mexlcans,
"greasers" they are called out west,
are immlgrating east in large numbers.
In the past five years such inducements
were offered them in southern Texas
as cheap farm hands that they
brought all their friends on, and now
there are large "greaser" colonies all
over Southwest Texas. But immigra-
ton is so great that even Texas hasn't
room for them, and they are now flock
Ing to the North and East. A few
years ago Mexican labor was totally
unknown in the Southern states. Now
It Is plentiful. They are so successful
as cheap farm workers in the southern
states that they are steadily coming
this way, having already reached as
far as Central Ohio. A large number
Of them are now in Chicago, where
they introduced Mexican dishes at the

Rrom the Journal. Detroit, Mich.)
Every one in the vicinity Of Meldqlm
avenue and Champlain street, Detroit,
knows Mrs. Mcdonald, and many o
neighbor has reason to feel grateful to
her for the kind and friendly interest
she has manifested in cases OF illness.
She is kind-hearted friend, a natural
nurse, and an intelligent and refined
lady.
To a reporter she recently talked at
some length about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, giving some very interesting in
stances In her own immediate knowl-
edge Of marvellous cures, and the uni
versal beneflcence Of the remedy to
those who had used 1t.
have reason to know" said Mrs.
Mcdonald, something Of the worth Of
this medicine, for 1t has been demon
strated In my own immediate family.
My daughter Klttie is attending high
school, and has never been very strong
since she began. suppose she studies
hard, and she has quite a distance to 80
every day. When the smallpox broke
out all of the school children had to be
vaccinated. I took her over to DR.. jane
son and he Vaccinated her. 1 never saw
such an arm In my life and the doctor
said he never did. She was broken out
on her shoulders and back and was just
as sick as she could be. To add to It
all neuralgia set in and the poor child
was In misery. She is naturally Of
nervous temperament and she suffered
most aWfully. Even after she recovered
the neuralgia did not leave her. Stormy
days or days that were damp or pre-
ceded a storm, she could not go out at
all. She was pale and thin and had no
appetite.
"I have forgotten Just who told me
about the Pink Pills, but got some for
her and they cured her right up. She
has O nice color in her face, eats and
sleeps well, goes to school every day,
and is we'll and strong in every partic-
ular. I have never heard Of anything to
build up the blood to compare with
Pink Pills. shall always keep them in
the house and recommend them to my
neighbors."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple are considered an unfailing specific
in such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. V!tus' dance, SCI
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after-effects OF la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and SAL
low compilations, that tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prostratlon; all
diseases resulting from vitiated humorB
in the blood, such as scrofuia, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also specific
for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms Of weakness. In men they effect
q radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excuses Of
whatever nature. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price $50
cents a box, or six boxes for S2.50-they
are never sold in bulk or by the 1907 by
