well as the Sheffield laboratory. From
that place on Jan, II disappeared a large
silver dish and one platinum dish, also
four or five pocketbooks containing
money While the intrinsic value of the
silver dish was not over $25, it was
worth much more than that from the

Yale chemist Prof! Silliman.

sils have been stolen from the Univer-

SOUTHERN MILLS PAY.

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE annual meeting
of the Massachusetts cotton mills, of
Lowell, was held today. The annual
meeting of the Massachusetts mills in
Georgia was also held. Reports on the
years business of the two mills stated
that the mills in Lowell had suffered
from the depressed condition of the cot
ton goods trade.
On the other hand, the plant in Geor-
gia, making goods similar to those in
Lowell, and obtaining the same prices,
owing to the lower cost of manufacture,
due to cheaper wages, longer hours,
lower taxation and lower cost of power,
had been able to return a fair profit,
The following vote was passed unani-
mously by the stockholders:
"In view of the fact that certain prod
ucts of the Massachusetts cotton mills
at Lowell can be produced at the mill
in Lindale, Ca, for a lower cost than
they can be produced at Lowell, it is
therefore voted that the directors be
instructed to consider the possibility of
an extension of the business in Georgia
and report thereon at some future meet
ing of the corporation. a7

NEW ASSOCIATION FORMED.
George S. Hatch Forms New Social
Club

The old Library Association of the
American Mechanics is practically dead in
spite Of the assertions to the contrary
There is not the slightest possibility that
the old association will ever get into shape
again There has, however, been new
organization formed through the efforts
of Past State Councillor George s. Hatch,
under the name of the Library Associa-
ton" The parlor of the rooms formerly
occupied has been fitted up in modest
way and the new association has started
out in a way that bids fair to bring forth
a prosperous organization. The dues of the
new association will be Sc a year instead
of 81 charged by the old association. The
old association was for members of the
American Mechanics only, but the new
association will admit all applicants who
are deemed desirable.
Mr. Hatch says the association will
build itself up steadily, and if 1t cannot
pay its running expenses from member
ship dues it will either raise the dues or
cease to live. At present the room has not
much in it outside of chairs and card
tables, but later it is proposed to add fur
niture and a pool table.
Just what the defunct association pro-
poses to do is not stated. None of the
members could be seen Monday night. The
pool tables, furniture and the like will
probably go to pay the outstanding debts
which are not far from $500 1t is stated
that part of the paraphernalia has al
ready been sold

EXHIBITION GAMES.
Hancock Club Captain Distinguishes Them
From Match Games.
70 the Editor of the snv:

To the Editor of the Spy:
Some very misleading statements have
recently appeared in the columns Of the
daily papers in reference to bowling be
tween the Hancock Club ard the ''Ba-
bies."
1t should be distinctly understood that
there are to be no match games between
the two teams By reason OF an ex-
pressed desire on the part Of the "Ba-
bies" to roll some games with US, in
order to compare the relative work of
the two teams, the Hancock Club have
extended to them the courtesies of their
club house for three exhibition games
Of FIVE strings each There is to be no
prize, and the games will be simply an
exhibition for the entertainment of our
club members and their friends, whom
they may see fit to invite. The Han
cock team positively declines to roll any
matches, or exhibition games, on pub
lie alleys.
That the position of the Hancock Club
may be thoroughly understood, copy of
my letter to Mr. Hilbert follows:
Mr.. George H. Hilbert, Capt. Babies
Bowling Team, Worcester, Mass;
My Dear Mr.. Hilbert-Wo respect
fully suggest if the date proves con-
venient to you, that game of five
strings at candlepin bowling be rolled
between your team and the Hancock
Club team on Friday evening, February
18th, beginning, say, at about 745 D. m,
on the alleys at the Hancock Club.
Your team nave already won the
city championship, and have expressed
a desire to compare the relative work
Of the two teams herein mentioned. I
would, therefore, further suggest that
there be three games rolled between the
two teams the dates for the games fol-
lowing that of the 18th, to be mutually
fixed for such time as our alleys may
be at liberty to use for this purpose.
Three games would, in my opinion, be
a better test of merit than would one,
as either team might strike streak of
rolling in one game, which would not
be fair test of the average work of
either. Very truly yours,
James S. Aborn,
Capt. Hancock Club Candle Pin Team

A DIFFERENT STORY.
What Officers of Union Cycle Club say of
Ticket Contest.

The officers of the Union Cycle Club
tell a different story about their ticket
selling contest, from that Of the two
young ladies who sold the highest two
numbers Of tickets, but have not yet
received the money prizes offered. Their
story as published in the Spy, Monday
morniRg, was to the effect that al
though they soldsthe largest number of
tickets, they had been told they would
not be given the prizes.
Secretary Bernard Mcmahon and 1st
Lieut.. William Sheckleton called at the
Spy office Monday evening to say that
it was distinctly understood, when the
contest was opened, that the winner
must sell 400 tickets to be entitled to the
first prize of $50, while 300 was the mum
Der for the second highest contestant tx
win the prize of $25. AS Misses Pau
and Nuttall sold only 70 tickets each
the officers say they are not entitled tC
the prizes under the conditions imposed
and accepted at the start.
Secretary Mcmahon, however, does
not state why it was that the announce
ment was made at the dance. that Mis-,
Paul won first prize with 500 tickets
and Miss Nuttall second, with 3S5.

American men are neither tyrannicaI
nor condescending toward women. From
childhood up they have been in the hab-
1t of seeing their sisters walk beside
them with independence and privilege
equal to their own. Their attitude is
one of frank comradery, based upon a
respect which ON both sides is uncon-
sciously taken for granted. They have.
besides, genial tendency to be proud of
their women, and to applaud rather
than discourage. their ambitions If
women wish to vote, these men will not
deny them. In fact, many am American
household represents the edifying spec
tacle of a husband more ready to vote
the suffrage to his wife than she to ac-
cept it.
Notwithstanding this freedom-per-
haps because of it-one need only OBJ
tain an unaffected expression of their
feeling to find that, maid and matron
alike the women of the country are, as
rule, content in marriage as a career.
They wish for children, and gladly make
the prolonged sacrifices necessary to
their care and education The college
woman is found, in general, to be no
more ready than her uneducated sister
to go back upon the womanhood which
means self-denial, and the career which
means self-sacrifice.
When these American women full of
the complicated interests and duties OF
the American home and its dependent
sociological activities, are confronted
with the prospect of exercising the suf-
frage, their instinct seems to be to draw
back. The great majority, when they
speak sincerely, will say that home
making, with it's allied interests, is their
chosen life, and that its demands are SC
exacting that they must leave the work
of government to other hands. Ellen

Saturday last, would enable him to
prove that Dreyfus wrote the bor-

cousin, NJ. Bertillon, had always af-
firmed to him that Dreyfus was the cul-
prit, that he had not seen the hand
writing of Comte EsterCaazy, who was
a man Of straw put forward by the
Jews.
NJ. Teyssonniers, another handwriting
expert, testified to Identifying the hand
writing of the bordereau as that OF
Dreyfus.
Later the witness testified that friends
of Dreyfus had approached him and had
limited that it might be worth 100 900 tc
200 900 francs, if he moderated his views
favorably to Dreyfus
