BASE BALL.
Redwood Falls Turns Down the
Springfield Team.

Nine nice young men, with nice
little mascotte, and several nice little
enthusiasts came over from Spring
field last Thursday for the purpose of
whipping nine Redwood Falls base
ball uniform wearers into submission.
The nine nice little men, with the one
nice little mascotte, and the several
nice enthusiasts, returned home about
six o'clock that evening, all singing
the chorus of "Listen to Ny Tale of
Woe" They had been Deweyized to
the Phillipean taste, and Manila
board of the usual size, would have
covered the whole crowd of gentlemen
players as they left this city.
The game was played on the new
diamond of the Redwood Falls base
ball club, just east of East street, ad-
joining the Northwestern tracks.
The game was announced for l 80
o'clock, but a whole lot of prelimin-
aries had to be arranged, and it was
nearly three o'clock when the same
was called. During the progress of
piling up scores it rained, and a half
hours delay followed, the rain lasting
ten minutes and the other 20 minutes
being absorbed in drying the grounds.
Only one accident happened. 1t was
the collision between Mr.. Hannegan,
the clever Springfield catcher, and Mr..
Cady, the equally pleasant Springfield
first baseman. II was in the fourth
inning George French had batted a
fly close to the first base line, but near
the home plate. Mr.. Hannegan and
Mr.. Cady both lined the ball, and
both ran after it, Mr.. Cady misunder-
standing the call of his captain. Cady
landed against Hannegan with terrific
force-the ball went to the ground.
Hannegan shrieked wildly with pain,
Cady having struck him in the abdo-
men with his knee, The boys mus
tered around Hannegan, rain set in,
and when the game was called again
Mr.. Hannegan was ready for business.
The Springfield team went to bat
first, getting one score, on a base on
balls and several passed balls. In the
second they secured five scores, Zeches
and Bosel getting bases on errors,
Friedl and c. Bosel hitting safe, and
Dotson getting his base on passed.
All five scored before the side was re-
tired. In the third inning the Spring
field team made it's last run, McPhee
getting base on being hit, and steal
ing home. After that it was one, two,
three in all but three innings, when
they managed to get four and five
men to bat, but none to cross the
plate. They only secured two safe
hits off of Thielman, the new Redwood
pitcher, third given to them being
exceedingly doubtful. Thielman was
handicapped at first by having an un.
satisfactory catcher.
1t was terrific slugging on part oil

"A Happy New Year.


Delight and pathos arc incxtricably
mingled with the thought of New
Years day. IL is only conventional
point OF time; any other would
do as well. Every day closes an oil
year and begins new one, but for
all that we cannot help feeling that
this day, which is agreed upon through
out Christcndom for the beginning of
n new year, is somehow unique. The
pathos comes from the review Of the
past, and from the sense that another
notch has been cut for as on the stick
of time. The delight arises from the
anticipation OF the new and better OK
pericnccs of the year to come. What
interest any rational person could have
ia having his fortune told is my story
The zcst and charm of life consist
largely in the fact that. each day Is
like a now page in the story. If you
wish TO enjoy your book you do not,
when il is half-read, turn TO the clos
ing chapter to discover how it turns
out. You do not thank anyone for
telling you the plot. IL ia so with
life. There is infinite satisfaction in
each days contribution to the record
You do not want 10 anticipate II. 1t
would be curse il anyone could tell
you just what the year would bring.
II Is Just as reasonable TO suppose that
the year will be happy as sad. Who
can tellY Who can control that? Arc
we not in the hands Of God? That is
the reason for a happy New Years
day. Boston Waterman.

CAROLINE MIsKEL HOYT.
Death of the Beautiful wife of the Sue
cessful PLAYWRIGHT

Caroline Miskel-Hoyt, one of the most
beautiful women on the American stage,
the wife Of Chas. Hoyt, the playwright,
died at their New York home Sunday. A
child born few hours before the mothers
death also died during the day.
The bodies were taken by special train
Tuesday to Mr.. Hoyt's old home in
Charlestown, n. H., for burial. Mrs
Hoyt was born IN Covington, Ky, in 1878
Her maiden name was Scales and her stage
name, Miskel, came from the pronuncia-
ton of Miss Scales by the little Kentucky
darkies.
Mrs. Hoyt's family moved to Toronto
when she was a girl. Being prominent
people they were opposed to stage career,
for which the young woman was ambi-
tious. After playing at Days theatre in
a minor role and with Robert Mantell' S
company she was engaged by MI. Hoyt
She made her reputation as an actress in
"a Temperance Town" She was mar
ried TO Mr.. Hoyt in 1894, and retired from
the stage for time, but returned to it
later in ga Contented Woman"
Mrs. Hoyt was sing llarly beautiful and
few professional beauties were more popu-
lar. Her portrait has been published
thousands of times in magazines and peri
odcals of all kinds, and has been used in
hundred ways for the purpose of attract
ing the attention of the public to advertise
ments of many kinds. She was of a
cheerful disposition, was very charitable,
and her friends, in and out of the theatri-
cal profession, were numbered by the
thousands.
She was Mr.. Hoyt's second wife, his
first wife, Blanche Walsh, who took the
leading feminine roles in his dramas, dying
in Boston in 1892
Mr.. Hoyts bereavement has a personal
interest to many people in the Connect
cut valley, who have met him at Charles
town, his native place, where he has al
ways maintained residence. He went to
the New Hampshire legislature from Con-
cord few years ago.

UNwELCoMB VISITORS

Created Excitement In the North Part
OF the village This Morning --- One
Was Placed In the Cooler" but the
other Sought Refuge at r. l.. Hunts.
No little excitement was caused in the
north part of the village early this morn
Ing by two men who had evidently looked
too freely upon the wine when it was red.
About 2:30 o'clock Homer Cray, the
coachman at N. F. Cabot's, was awakened
by someone pounding upon the back door
OF the house. Cray went to the window
and asked the man what he wanted, also
telling him to leave the premises. The
man, who appeared to be either drunk or
crazy, said he wanted place TO sleep, and
he began to rap heavily upon the door
again. Cray warned him once more TO
leave the place, and when the fellow re-
fused he fired a revolver out of the win
dow. The man left Immediately when he
heard the shot, and Cray FASTENED TO dress
himself and call the police by telephone.
Chief Hall and an assistant arrived on
the scene in short time and began hunt
for the stranger, who was found after some
time upon Rev. G. o. Days piazza in a
state of raving intoXication. He was TAX
EN- to the lookup after some trouble, and
left there to cool off.
About an hour after the excitement at
Mr.. Cabots a man was heard knocking
upon the front door of f. l.. Hunts house,
and Mr.. Hunt went to the window TO find
out who it was He could see no one
about the premises, but, having been awak-
ened at the time of the other disturbance,
thought perhaps it might be the same man,
and, therefore, went to the front door to
make further investigations. No one was
in sight, however, and Mr.. Hunt returned
to bed.
Nothing more was thought about the
matter until this morning, when it was
found that a man had evidently entered
the house and remained there over night
About o'clock, when the hired girl was
at work over the stove in the kitchen, she
heard someone pass from the back stairs
across the room and out the back door
Thinking that it was Mr. Hunt going to
the barn the girl did not turn around or
speak, although she was on the point of
doing so. A little later Mrs. Hunt came
down stairs and told the girl that Mr.. Hunt
would soon be ready for breakfast. The
girl replied that he was out to the barn
and would not believe that he was still up
stairs until she was convinced by seeing
him herself.
1t is thought that the man entered the
house some time during the night by a
cellar window, over the coal bin. He
probably waited in the cellar until the
girl went 10 the other room when he hid
upon the stairs leading from the second
story. There were no indications that
the man had made any attempt to steal
The man, whose name was Edwin Can
ton, and who was employed as a farm hand
at the Brattleboro Retreat, was given a
hearing before Justice Newton and fined
for intoxication and disturbance of the
peace. The fines and costs amounted to
S3561. The bill was paid by Canton's
friends.

Central Vermont Litigation
Brought to an End by an Agreement
Among the BondhoIders.

A circular was issued from Boston Wed
nesday stating the terms of the agreement
which has been reached for the adjustment
of the Central Vermont railroads affairs,
and to bring the litigation to an end. This
agreement embodies the plan of re0rgani-
cation adopted Oct. 6, 1897, with these
notifications:
"lnstead of the securities provided by
that plan, the new company will issue
50, 900, 600 capital stock and $4,000, 900
first mortgage four per cent, 81 year, gold
bonds; to be dated Aug l, 1898; or as
near the date as possible. The interest on
these bonds will be guaranteed by the
Grand Trunk Railway company by traffic
contract under which any deficit in the
earnings in any year will be provided for
by the Grand Trunk company up TO 30 per
cent Of the gross business interchanged by
the Grand Trunk Railway company and
the Central Vermont Railroad company.
"Holders of the American Loan and
Trust company certificates and of first
mortgage Consolidated railroad of Yer
mont bonds not deposited are to receive
par for their present bonds in the new first
mortgage bonds and interest on each at the
rate of four per cent per annum from Feb.
l, 1898, to the date of the new bonds.
The holders of bonds and certificates
will receive also eight per cent of the face
of their bonds in the capital stock of the
new company representing interest over
due Feb. /, 1898. OF the balance of the
Sl2 600 first mortgage bonds 81 ,00O,-
600 will remain in the treasury of the COM
pany, to be used for Improvements and ad-
ditions only under proper restrictions. The
balance of the bonds and stock will be used
in acquiring branch roads and in settle
ment of preferred claims, re0rganiz alton
expenses and other obligations.
THE new mortgage is to cover all the
property of the new company, including
branches equipments, lease of the New
London Northern Railroad company and
also other property not now covered by the
first mortgage"
A meeting will be held in Boston, Oct.
26, to vote on the acceptance or rejection
of this plan. No doubt is felt of its &C.
ceptance.
