STA TIE LEAGUE.
Derby-Meriden Series.

DerDy- Merluen series.
Derby, Sept 23.-There is trouble al
ready over the games in the Nutmeg
Cup" series, if the stories that emanate
from official quarters in the Derby end
of it are to be believed The trouble
arose over the fact, so the story goes,
that Manager Chapman of Meriden in
sisted upon Derby showing up to-day,
although it was raining heavily when
he telephoned and it meant a consid-
cradle extra unnecessary expense to
the players. Again, it is claimed by
the Derby contingent that Manager
Chapman has a grievance against UNI
pire OBrien. which the Derby manage
ment is unable to account for. Ac-
cording to the agreement, as claimed
by Derby, two umpires, O'Brien and
Hill, were decided upon by Managers
Denny, Chapman and Major Hurley,
the donor of the cup, and they will have
to umpire through the series.
1t is asserted tonight by Derby that
Manager Chapman's grievance against
Umpire O'Brien is of personal nature,
and Manager Denny will insit on living
I'D to the letter of agreement, as Chap
man was going to insist upon his
pound of flesh" when it appeared that
Denny was sin a hole when it was
announced that some of his players de-
serted him before the series began. 1t
is stated that Denny will have his team
on the grounds tomorrow, and If Man
ager Chapman objects to O'Brien UNI
piring, the game will be forfeited al
though it will be disappointment to
the local fans"

There are 1867 towns in New Eng

aged under the town system, leaving
1876 in whole or in part under the dis
trict system. OF the 1876, IS per cent,
or ia, are in Connecticut.
Experience in this and other states
shows that town management gives
better education to the children, for
whom alone schools exist; secures bet
ter buildings and promotes deeper in
terest on the part of parents and the
whole community
In order that the question may be
acted upon by your town in 1897, the
following suggestions are made:
The vote must be taken at the Oc-
tober town meeting. The ballot box
in which the ballots for town officers
are deposited should be marked Con-
solidation of DISTRICTS Official ballots
with the words Yes and NO must be
provided and can be obtained from the
state board of education. The ballot
must be placed in the official envelope,
h fn, off n
posted in the box marked as stated
above"
The following clause in the warning
of the town meeting will be sufficient:
ITO determine by ballot whether the
town will abolish all the school dis
tricts and parts of school districts with
in its limits and assume and maintain
control of the public schools therein"
The old milestone which has for more

Heights, near Cherrydale, in the coun.

is attracting much attention in social
circles and will no doubt prove most
enjoyable affair. Not only the modern
dances are here enjoyed, but also those

the occasion doubly attractive, which
are to be continued semi-monthly until

north of Ballston. They are nearly
TWO hundred feet higher than the

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 9, 1897.
THE RICHMOND Times says:

"The negro is not as great factor
in Southern politics as he was several
wears ago. The rsbid republican senti-
ment about the negro at the North has
toned down, and is slowly, but surely
diving out. There is better under
sanding of the situation as it Is down
here, aud more sympathy with the
Southern whites"
All of which is demonstrated by the
appointment of numerous negroes to
Office in the South by the President,
and the approval such action on his
part receives from his party in the
North, and by the denunciations the
republicans from that section shower
upon the people of the South for their
natural objection to such appoint
ments. Why even the Assistant At
torney General says Southern towns,
the people of which object to negro
nostmasters, should be denied postal ia
cslities, and he is applauded for so say
ing. The republican sentiment about
the Southern negro, in the North, is as
rabid now as ever. But the eyes of the
Southern boilers are blind to that glar-
ing fact.

ing of his race in Washington said: "Our
people have been killed 80 frequently
10 the past because our preachers have
been preaching too much Christ and
not enough pistols" That he gave
expression to the feelings of his hearers
was proved by the applause he receiv-
ed. But, COR all that, the Southern bolt.
ers act as though they believe that
more pistols and negro officials. and
double price for the necessaries of life,
were much better than more silver
money.
