PLAY BaLL,

Baseball on the Old Green at Madison.
 The old green at the west end of the famous old town of Madison is ordi- narily a delightful spot and one that the residents may be proud of. It is enclosed by white rail fence and f1anked on either side by tall, noble trees that might justly claim kinship
 with the fragrant pine of the Maine cast far out on the green carpet which
 spreads out before them and afford
 welcome shield from the rays of old
 Sol on summer afternoon, particu-
 larly when one wants to watch game
 of ball, which often takes place on these delightful premises Saturday af-
 ternoon last was an ideal one at Madi-
 son and the green was unusually at-
 tractive and picturesque. The town
 had turned out to witness a much her
 aided game of ball. A fringe of all the
 tints in summer gowns that summer
 girls can bring to light bordered the
 shady places back of the lines and
 many pretty girl with a pretty tint Of
 brown on her cheek showed that she
 was enjoying the outing that goes with
 a. season at Madison. The scene was
 at once picturesque and animated. The
 animation came largely from the ball
 players and would-be ball players. It
 is one thing to play ball and another
 to think YOU can. Madison in addition
 to it's many other attractions can boast of a first class ball team, as has been several times demonstrated. Neverthe- less several of the summer visitors, in- d,ced hy one Eric" Bushnell, con- snired arranged and agreed to form nine and ''do'' the Madison regulars The result, as anticipated, was a sound thrashing for their oonceit the score being 25 to 4, and were 1t not for the really excellent battery, Messrs. Ford and Brierly, there is no telling where the score would have ended. But 1t was lots of fun, the special plays and herculean efforts being roundly ap- plauded by the many spectators. The brilliant plays were too numerous to mention in these notes but special praise should be given for the capi- 1 tai manner in which Captain
 Erie Bushnell covered second l base, and the generalship he
 showed in coaching his men, his
 stentorian notes being heard distinctly
 all over Madison. The whirlwind style
 in which Win" Bushnell fourished his alnh was silssestiye of a fortE-horse

Waterbury's Team.

Waterbury, July 1S.-There has been meeting called for Monday evening of those persons who have subscribed stock to purchase the Waterbury base ball clubs franchise, F. o. Herendeen says that most of the money has been secured, and this meeting is called for the purpose of effecting an organiza- ton and electing officers. All of those who have subscribed for stock will be duly notified of the meeting by MT Herendeen. John H. Fruin, of the Wa terbury club, told an American reporter yesterday that he would not sell out after Monday night, as he has already waited longer than he agreed to.

Bristol, July 1S.-Last night the Bris- tol baseball club made a change of management Owing to the pressure of other business o. F. Stunz retires from the position of manager and he is succeeded by Peter Hall, the new short stop, who recently came here from New Bedford. MT. Hall has already shown that he is a first class ball player and understands the fine points of the game. As a manager he will undoubtedly prove a very successful one, as his ex- perience in the past in this line will prove to be of great assistance to him. The club was very deep in debt when the present management took it. The deficiency that still exists will be met by the board of directors and Manager Stunz. On Monday the club will start off on clean sheet and will not owe a dollar.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
A Decrease in the huEi;,er of FGtaIi-
ties Last Yc.r.

ties Last ic:r.
The record of railway accidents print
ed every year in the Railroad Gazette
shows a decrease Of fatalities in 1896.
and also demonstrates aga.n how safe
a traveller really is on mct,ern rail
way train. Fer instance, 1876 passengers
were killed last year. bGt the tram mile
age was s34, 200, 600. This means that
on the average passenger can travel
over G,0O0,0L0 miles before be ng killed
in Il railway accident; or, to put it III
another way, he can travel back end
forth between New York and San
Francisco as frequently as the train
will carry him about 30 years before his
fatal accident is due.
1t appears from the same authority
that about One-quarter as many Eer-
sons were killed by street car accidents
last year as by disaster on the steam
roads. There are no data at hand for
comparing the two modes Of travel,
but it seems probable that the steam
roads are considerably safer than the
trolley ears if the distance Travelled be
taken into account. The figures 90 not
show how many of those set down as
killed by trolley ear accidents were
passengers and how many innocent Pc
destrians who failed to get out of the
way in time. 1t hardly seems Us if the
latter could be included, for the total
given for three years for the whole
country is only about equal to the list
of those known to have been killed
by the trolley cars in the city of Brook
lyn in that time.

men and women are simply workers,
and the more the element of sex is in

with the success of women.

4 CITY 10000 Years Old.

At Cherokee, in Butte county, Cal,
during the mining operations in deep
canyon there have been found several
mortars, evidently used in pounding
grain. One had the pestle actually
standing in it. These were discovered
from II to 40 feet below the surface,
in fine quartz gravel mixed with sand.
Eminent geologists have proved this to
be the bed of an old inland sea, which
existed long before the last ice period.
The canyon is 5000 feet deep, and, cal
culating that it has been eaten out by
water at the rate of 21s feet a century,
we have 1000 centuries. Add to this
the time required for the formation OF
strata over the mortars@60o centuries
and we are forced to the conclusion
that man sufficiently civilized to grow
grain and make bread existed on this
earth 10000 wears age.

Russian JurYmen.

Some American juries are inclined
to be eccentric in their verdicts, but
they cannot hold n candle IN this regard
to the juries Of Russia. The Literary
Digest declares that the most incredible
stories are told of Russian jurymen.
Thus, the foreman of a jury declared he
would not send poor fellow to prison
because it happened to be his (the jury
man's) birthday. Another jury had
agreed upon a verdict of guilty when
the church bells began to ring. They
revised their verdict because holiday
had begun. A burglar was allowed to
60 free because the man whom he had
robbed had refused to lend him money.
This, in the opinion of the jury, was a
direct incentive to crime.

STATES THAT PRODUCE STONE.
Vermont Leads in Marble and Maine
in Granite.

Vermont Leads in Marble and Maine
in Granite.
Some facts of an instructive nature re-
iating to the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual report
of tine United States geographical sur
vey. 1t appears from this that certain
of the southern states are gradually
coming into prominence US extensive
producers of stone, and also that the
sorts of stone quarried have been mod
flied of late years. An instance in point
is to be found in AlabaIua, which in
1895 furnished more than $250,000,0 900
worth of stone, mostly limestone, al
though some sandstone is worked there.
A similar illustration is presented by
Connecticut, which once divided the
sandstone yield with New Jersey, but
produced last year little more sandstone
than Massachusetts, while New Jersey
showed only one-thrd as much as Con-
necticut, and little more than Kansas
or Michigan; and Pennsylvania, un-
known Il few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded a product in 1895
equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, and more than
any other state than Ohio. In
granite production Massachusetts, keeps
the first place, with Maine not far off,
while Vermont is rapidly overtaliing
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in and
about Westerly to nearly $1,000. .C00worth
a year. New Hampshire comes fifth Oh
the list, with about half as much. In
marble, Vermont, as usual, leads all the
other states, its output being about
double that of Georgia, which is second
in amount; Tennessee is third.

School of Gardening for Girls in q
Suburb of Berlin.
A London paper tells of q school Of
gardening for girls in suburb of Ber-
lin. 1t is comparatively new venture,
having been founded two years ago by
private lady. At present it seems to
be succeeding. The pupils-15 in num-
ber-do the work entirely without ex-
traneous aid, growing all sorts of vege-
tables, as well as apples, melons, grapes,
pears and cucumbers, for which a ready
sale Is found. They wear a dark gray
uniform, consisting of bodice and a
skirt of reasonable length, which, by
an ingenious arrangement, can be
made quite short for working in and let
down at will. The girls beat all the
men at a recent board of agriculture ex-
animation, and one of them has just
obtained post as gardener 10 a gen.
tleman at salary of $12O a year, with
board and lodging. They are all fine
specimens of healthy, vigorous young
womanhood. Commenting on this, the
lady says: Perhaps we see the thin
edge of the wedge! In the near future
women may be eligible for head gar
deners' posts at good salaries. And why
not? We have finer taste than men and
should be quite in our element design
ing exquisite pleasure grounds. AS for
the suitability of the employment, it
may be urged that digging is not harder
work than many OF the athletic wom-
ans recreations, nor is it a dirtier proc
ess than tramping through wet turnip
fields after guns"

WORLDS BEST THIN ARMOR.
Remarkable Plates at Indian Head

That Shot Could Not Grace.
The navy department is securing a
constant improvement in the quality
of its armor plate, says the Washington
Post. A test made at Indian Head the
other day demonstrated that it now
possesses the best thin armor, at least,
in the whole world. 4 four-inch plate
representing some of the side armor
of the battle ship kearsarge, that was
well up on the bows, was fired at with
a five-inch gun. Not long ago shot
was calculated as able completely to
penetrate an armor plate of one and
one-half times as thick as its caliber
In other words, five-inch shot would
penetrate a plate seven and one-half
inches thick
This four-inch plate, however, not
only kept the shot out, but it smashed
it up, and the only mark left on the
plate was slight dishing in the center.
not more than half ON inch deep. This
passed the plate. Then another shot
was taken at it to ascertain the power
required to perforate the plate. This
was accomplished only by giving the
shot the high velocity of 1885 feet per
second and even then the plate was not
cracked
