MAY HAVE 4 LEAGUE TEAM.
New Haven Will Probably be Represented
 in Eastern or State League Next Year.

in Eastern or State League Next Year.
 It is reported that negotiations are under way for the purchase by New Haven parties of the franchise of the Scranton Pa, Eastern league baseball team. It is said that if the gentlemen interested in the matter succeed in se- curing the franchise the team will be located in New Haven. The leader in the plan is James P. Donnelly, propri- etor of the Winchester hotel, who is an old League umpire.
 Another plan that has been discussed for giving New Haven a baseball team next year is to place a team in the State league. This plan has been fa- vorably received and has progressed so far that negotiations have been enter ed into with a gentleman in North Ad- ans, Mass, to secure him as manager. The gentleman has managed the North Adams team for several years.
 The scheme to bring the Scranton franchise to New Haven is looked upon by baseball men in the city as rather a risky venture, and most of them are somewhat reluctant to give financial backing owing to the poor success which has attended baseball ventures in New Haven for the past few years.
 A business man interested in baseball and who has sunk some money in sev- eral baseball enterprises launched dur ing the last three or four years in speaking of the matter last night, said that he doubted the wisdom of bringing the Scranton franchise to New Haven. He said that the New Haven public has demonstrated that it will not sup port a team unless it wins at least two out of every three games played

 General Blancos Telegram.
 Washington, Nov. 1.-The adminis- tration is greatly gratified at the re- ceipt of telegram from Captain Gen. eral Blanco, through Minister Dupuy de Lome, announcing the revocation of Weylers inhuman concentration order. President Mckinley, in conversation and correspondence with Minister Woodford, has been especially solic- itous for this action, and has practical ly made it a sina qua non in the nego- tiations for the settlement of the Cuban question. In the Sagasta note sent in reply to Minister Woodford's presenta- tion of his letterrof instructions it was intimated that the wishes of the presi- ed. The official notification that the ac- tion so warmly desired by the presi- dent has been taken is accepted as an evidence of the sincerity of the profess sions of friendship in the Sagasta note, which was read at length at the cabi- net meeting on Thursday.
 The prompt revocation of the barbar- ic concentration order is further re- garded by all members Of the adminis- tration as a hopeful sign that Spain will gradually, step by step, accept the good offices of the United States to end the war and allow Cuba to secure it's freedom.

RESUMPTION OF PLANTING.

Havana, Nov. 11.-Captain General Blanco has issued a circular announc- ing that he has decided to furnish all the protection necessary to bring about a resumption of general planting, har- vesting and reconstruction throughout the country, especially in the case of the sugar crop. He fuTther decrees that all the authorities of the island are to lend unconditional support to the proprietors of farms in the efforts of the latter to gather their crops and tend their cattle. The civil authorities are instructed to encourage to the ut most those who are apprehensive of grinding sugar cane and to offer them assurances and the necessary military forces to protect them and their prop erty. All war measures are abrogated in regard to agricultural implements, machinery, etc., and the right of the railroads to charge 20 per cent. on all freight carried is also done away with.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
 pepsia and Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles, says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing; that is, failure to com pletely digest the food eaten; no mat ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep- sia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thor oughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by simple remedy which l have tested in hundreds of agra vated cases with complete success. The remedy is @ combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets shouud be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth, and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour
 oH dcludl experiment. one gram or Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if rn1s wholesome remedy was better known, by people generally, it would be national bless ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect digestion and nutrition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines, and person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know when widely adver- tised patent medicines are used.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; full sized packages 50 cents A little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles mailed free by ad- dressing The Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

On the other hahu, as given above by state officials ana concurred in by a large number ol thoughtful citizens indicate that the service of women in the states reterreu to has been a decided advantage to the schools and the towns.
 In the words of one writer "Econ- omy of administration, attention to sanitary details, training for the prac- tical duties of life, and especial em- phasis on ethical culture, have marked Womens administration" As thls, therefore, is hot an untried experiment, and as the results show that good and not harm has followed woman's con- uection with boards of education, we respectfully beg your honor to confer upon New Haven the privilege or leading the other cities of our state in uniting the influences which bind the home and the school and constitute well ordered endeavor for cultured heart, an educated mind and healthy body in the youth of the city.
 We, therefore, as an association, earnestly ask of your honor to give women an opportunity to take part in the administration of our public schools by appointing one or more upon the board of education of the City of New Haven.
