LEAGUE MEETING.
Schedule Revised but Lttt1e-New Haven
 Obtains and Releases Delaney.

Schedule Revised but LittIe-New Haven
 Obtains and Releases Delaney. The league managers met at the Garde last might and went over the schedule as made out a couple of weeks ago. But few changes were made. New Haven and Meriden each trans fers game to Waterbury, New Haven transfers one to Danbury, and Bridge port plays an extra one at Danbury. In several instances two games have been scheduled for an afternoon in or der to make up for the postponed games of this week.
 Nothing was done in regard to the umpires.
 It was decided that New Haven had just claim to Delaney and he was awarded to that team. This was done merely to show the players that they could not back down from their agree ment at will. As the New Haven team had no need for him, he was released at once last night and was taken on by Rose.
 The schedule as corrected is as fol- lows:
 Saturday, August 13. Waterbury at Meriden. Danbury at New Haven. New London at Bridgeport.
 Monday, August 15. New Haven at Meriden. Waterbury at Bridgeport. Bridgeport at New London.
 Wednesday August IT. Meriden at Waterbury. Bridgeport at New London. Danbury at New Haven.

women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how ia

Since taking your remedies | am better

THE PIGMIES OF AFRICA.


Four years ago Dr. Stuhnlmann, one
of the most scientific of African ex-
plorers, brought to Germany two dwarf
young women, about seventeen or
twenty years old. They had been cap
tured by Arab slave-raiders, in the
great forests northwest of Victoria
Nyanza. A man about 25 years old
and four feet six inches in height, who
was captured with them, was in Or.
Stuhlmann's care for several months,
but died on the coast just before he
was to go to Europe. He was so very
shy that he was never seen look a
white man in the face, and though he
would talk a little Ki-Suaheli, the
language of the Zanzibar natives, he
was never heard to speak word of
his own language. The girls were TAX
en- back to Africa in a few months, as
it was feared they would not survive
German winter. In all the time they
were with DR.. Stuhlmann, he was able
to get from them only sixteen words
of their language. Perhaps this is not
very surprising. It was enough to
make persons of low type of culture

shy and suspicious to be shut up for
hours at a time with inquisitive SER
wants, who were continually looking at
and questioning and measuring them;
and though the little women were we'll
cared for and much was done to amuse
them, they could not get over the idea
that the whites had some sinister pur-
pose. They feared they would be poi
soned and never touched any dish be-
fore their Italian servant had first
tasted it. They were carried around
from one scientific society to another,
all over Germany and Belgium, and it
is safe to say that in their private
opinion anthopology was great bore,
and they were glad to get back to
Africa.-Harper's Round Table.
