CIsASSED IN THE BASEBALL
CONTEST YESTERDAY.

~0AH A@t' 4 AAAl 4 AAANAFshiAs
The game OF baseball yesterday af-
ternoon at Battery Park was not very
interesting contest from the fact that
the home team was more than a match
for ths visitors. The G. A. G. batted out
fourteen runs in the first inning, after
which it exerted itself to no great ex-
tent The visitors were weak at bat
and their fielding was ragged.
Gariside pitched a good game, despite
the fact that he pitched on Saturday.
The features were the three-base hit,
home run and running catch by
Montgomery, and the all-around play

a difficult fly. The score:

 Claudio, Pretending to Sail for New Lon don, Slipped overboard and Got Married.
 William E. Claudio, 24 years old, a medical student living in Greenport, l.. l., wished to marry Miss F. Louise Worth 21 years old, of Southold They meet at fireman tournament in River head last year.
 But Claud1os father who keeps a hotel in that village, was anxiuos that his son should complete his studies so a watch was put on the young man to see that he made no surreptitious visits to Southold.
 That young Claudio was equal to the emergency was latter demonstrated One day last week he asked his father TOT funds to make trip to New Lon don on business With the money in his pocket and under the surveillance of his elder brother, Claudio started for the steamboat Manhanset, that was to take him to his pretended destination. He was seen safely aboard the boat, and then the elder brother sat down on the pier to see that the boat with his brother aboard got safely away. This is where the younger Claudio displayed little strategy. By encouragement sharpie drew cautiously under the overhang of the steamboat out of sight of the wharf. A form dangled over the side of the steamboat and dropped into the sharpie. It was young Claudio.
 He was quickly rowed away un- noticed, and, finding his way to a livery stable hired closed hack to drive to Southold, while from his point of observation on the dock the elder brother waved the departing steamer a farewell.
 At Southold, Claudio was joined by Miss Worth and they drove to Patcho- que, where the Rev. FIG. Beebe of the Presbyterian church married them They left next day for Brooklyn. By this time Claudios family relatives have learned that they were outwitted. Norwich Bulletion.

AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FOR
 GIRLS.
The State School of Ariculture at St. Anthony Park opened yesterday

The State School of Ariculture at St. Anthony Park opened yesterday.
 Although sixty-nine or the boys re- gistered yesterday and only four girls, the girls were the centre of interest. Boys at the school are an old story. But not until this year have the "co-eds" enjoyed the advantage of a full years course. For not until this fall has there been a girls dormitory. Heretofore, accordingly, the girls slipped in bash fully every spring after the boys had vanished, and skipped through a little school year of six weeks duration. But yesterday they marched bodily up to their own dormitory, a fine three-story building of buff brick, It affords agreeable accommodations for sixty girls. Each couple of students has a parlor from which extends two sleeping alcoves. Every six girls use in common a dressing-room and bathroom.
 But the new dormitory will lodge sixty girls there will be more than six ty girls to be lodged. That number alone attended the girls school last spring, and they will doubtless many new comrades this fall
 The opening of the girls department brings several additional teachers into the faculty. Mrs. Eugenia Meredith who has herself been a practical farmer and stick raiser in Indiana, and who has contributed learnedIy to the agri- cultural journals, will be preceptress in many of the branches of agri- culture to be studied by the girls. The girls are to take the same course of high school studies as the boys in the preparatory course of six months. Af- terward the girls will do as much work as their brothers, and, perhaps, a little more. The feminine Cincinnati will take the full course in dairy work, in horticulture and in fruit culture. In general agriculture they will stop at the beginning of the chapter on "Stumps." But, as extraneous amuse- ment, they will learn things in the laundry, which will be established in the former kitchen of the old 'home" building. The person to teach these things has not yet been chosen. The SlrlS VIII dlSO De instructed III CoohlllS by Miss Juanita Shepperd, late of the Boston Cooking school The rolling-pin and the beaten biscuit club will be supplemented by the dumbbells, that are to be used under the guidance of Mrs. R. L. Jacobson, of St. Anthony Park, teacher of physical culture.
 Boys and girls will eat together, but with their backs to each other and in icy indifference, in the great dining room.-St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

Hartford's Story Writer.

The Westbrook correspondent of Mid dletown Press says:
 Mrs. Josephine Baker of Hartford during the past week was the guest of Mrs. Charles L. Clark. Mrs Baker was a native of this place, but has not wis., tied the town in many years She will be more readily called to mind as Josephine Ruggles," the author of the serial published many years ago in the New York Ledger under the title "Was the Wrong Man Hung?" The plot in volved the traditional mystery of Poker Rock" and in the story a number of the residents in the esyicinity of her early home were made to play important parts. Poker Rock'' is A broken boulder at the top of 'Treaker Hill" and but a few rods south of the old road to Clinton. Not many of the present generation know of it's reputed horrors, which caused the youths of seventy years ago to take heed how they tarried "by the way" after night fall. For years Virginia creeper has gradually climbed upon it's north face and during the autumn its scarlet and green leaves relieve it's somber grey, and call forth universal admiration Several other stories were publishd later by Mrs. Baker, but of the more recent ones we mention 'The Fair Traders Voyage" in the Second Con- nscticut Quarterly of this year 1897.

SUGAR SCANDAL.
Tilman's Resolution for an Investiga- ton to Be Reported Favorably.
APPOINTMENTS FOR KANSAS.
ALI the Big Federal Places for the Sunnower State Will Soon Be Announced--Cau Indorsed by Senators-AIinors
 Cannot Be Postmasters.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The senate committee on contingent expense, to which was referred the Tillman reso- lution calling for an investigation of sugar stock scandals, will report Tues day next recommending it's adoption. Beyond doubt the senate will vote for the inquiry and the Investigating com mittee will doubtless be named quick ly. As Senator Tillman will head the committee there Is no danger of there being "whitewash" this time, if the facts presented warrant reaching any conclusion. The senator from South Carolina will either prove to the satis- faction of the country at large that certain members of the senate have been dealing with the sugar trust or he will demonstrate that several repu- table Washington correspondents have used idle rumors as solid facts.
 Appointments for Kansas.
 WASHINGTON, June f.--Senators Ba- her and Thurston will go before the senate steering committee which has charge of the tariff bill and make an effort to secure reduction in the duty on silver-bearing lead ore, proposed in the bill They will also endeavor to secure an increased rate from that proposed on gypsum. It was stated that all of the big federal appoint ments for Kansas would be announced at about the same time, and within the coming three weeks. Senator Baker has indorsed National Committeeman Cy Leland for pension agent at Tope- ka, the understanding being that the order of the last administration con- solidating the Topeka agency with the one at St. Louis will be revoked.
 Minors Cannot Be Postmasters.
 WASHINGTON, June 1.-The policy of the post office department as to the ap- pointment of minors in the post offices has been definitely fixed, and they will be debarred from the chief clerkships and deputy postmasterships except in few of the third-class offices, where circumstances urge their peculiar fit- ness. Even then they will not be al- lowed to become acting postmasters on account of the legal declaration that contracts made by minors are void- able. This effectually bars them from being even temporarily postmaster so far as the assumption of the responsi- bilities of that office is concerned.
 Call Indorsed by Senators.
 WASHINGTON, June l,-Ex-Senator Call, of Florida, had another interview with the president on the subject of his application for place on the Dawes commission. Mir. Call has se- cured the signature of every United States senator to his petition, and he hopes that this array of Inducements will influence the president to give him the plaee.

 James r. Watkins, of tho Maple Leaf, Suf-
 fering from Mental liberation.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 1.-James K. Watkins, who was local agent of the Chicago Great Western at Kansas City until October 1, 1896, when he mysteri- ously disappeared, has been located in Chicago, where he occupies position withA the Western Union as telegraph operator. He claims to have no recol- tion whatever of his movements since leaving this city, and only an indis- tinct remembrance of ever having been in Kansas City Mrs Watkins, who has resided here since the disap- pearance of her husband, has left for Chicago to join him. The disappear ance of Watkins has always been a mystery. His accounts were all right, and he is said to have had the happiest of domestic relations. He says he has an undefined recollec- ton of having met with some kind of an accident in which a Pullman sleeping car played a prominent part, but he cannot give any definite information regarding it. The search for the missing local agent had been vigorously prosecuted under the direc- tion of the railway officials since his disappearance.
