Billiards Tabooed in New England.


Billiards is so pre-eminently game OF
skill that one who sees it played by
men who understand it even tolerably
we'll finds it hard to realize that it WAS
long under the ban in New England. AS
late as the 1851 and 1866 compilations of
the statutes, the Hartford Times finds
under the heading offenses against public
peiicy, provision forbidding the posses
sion of billiard tables under penalty Of
fine Of 5000. 1t was, however, further
provided that the mayor. aldermen and
council OF a city might, by majority vote,
grant written permit for the possession
of Il billiard table. provided they We're
satisfied that it was to be used solely fol
the purposes of health and recreation.
Borough and town officers might grant
like permission. Even now the law for
bids miners TO play anv game on the
"table or tables" in a billiard room, and
for this there is reason in the fact that
a good many saloons have pool table
which is used chiefly to encourage the
sale of liquor But there are billiard
rooms in which no liquor is sold.

LONDON'S FREELUNCHCHURCH
Cold COLLATION. Served to All Those
Who Attend.

With respect to religious services it has
often been said that ''Fools who came
to scott remained to pray" but a new and
more polite version Of the line, says the
London Telegraph, has been furnished
by Lincoln's inn. under whose auspices
those who came to pray remained to
lunch"
Interestin" as is the chapel Of the inn,
good as is the music, excellent as is the
sermon, hitherto the services have been
but poorly attended. The Benchers seem
anxious to remedy this state of things,
SO they have made a regulation which
will doubtless be much appreciated, re-
minding men of their college days and
college breakfasts. 1t is now open to
every member Of the inn, in inviting
friend to attend chapel, to accompany
his invitation with an offer of hospitality,
and after the service it will be permissi-
BILE for him to entertain his guest at
cold luncheon. which will be served in
the hall at 1 o'clock.
1t was rather unfortunate that the in
auguration Of this regulation should have
taken place in such unpleasant weather,
but it may easily be foretold that in the
spring and summer the gardens after
service will be respondent with we'll
dressed ladies who have honored aspir-
ants to the woolsack by accepting invi
tations to chapel and lunch"

NOT SPANISH SHELL.
Misguided Shot from the Whining
ton Said to Have Killed
Ensign Bagley.

New York, April 17.-"The shot that
killed the men on the Winslow and the
one that injured the forward boiler and
the starboard engine came from the
United States steamship Wilmington
Such is the startling statement made
by Lieut.. Hutchinson Scott, who was
first lieutenant of the Hudson when that
vessel ORA gged the crippled Winslow out
OF the hight at CardenaS on May IL last.
Nearly every participant in the battle has
told his experiences and observations,
but never before had there been the mer-
est hint that Ensign Bagley and his
shell-StrIcken comrades met death
through any other agency than Spanish
prOjectile. The statement was brought
out by the publication of Lieut.. Berna-
dou's article in the March number of the
Century Magazine.
The battle of Cardenas was fought on
May II. On one side was the gunboat
Wilmington, Commander c.. G. Todd
commanding: the torpedo-boat WinslOw
commanded by Lieut.. John 3. Bernadou
and the cutter Hudson, under the COM
mand Of Capt. Newcomb. The Spanish
gunboats encountered were reported to
be the Alerta. the Ligera and the An
tonic Lopez. The United States yes
sells were engaged in blockading the port,
and the senior officer, Commander Todd,
felt that the presence of the Spanish
gunboatS in the harbOr made the outer
anchorage unsafe for blockading vessels
He accordingly concluded to make an at
tack on them, and on the morning of
May IL summoned the captains of the
Wlnslow and the Hudson to a confer
ence on board the Wilmington. Both
were eager to accompany the Whining
ton, and at IL O'Clock that morning the
three vessels entered the harbor and
started the bombardment

YALE QUARTERBACK HURT.
Morris Ulysses Ely Sustains Severe
Injuries in Runaway

New Haven. Conn, April 15.-Morris
Ulysses Ely, Yale quarterback, who has
been In the hospital most of the time
since the Harvard football game, was
again injured today in thrilling run
away accident.

THE PARTITION OF CHINA.
Advices Indicate that Germany
was Very Aggressive.
PRINCE HENRY KING.
May Take Whole Province of Shan
Tung Instead Kiao-Chou
and Vicinity.

Victoria, B. c., April 15.-According to
the Pekin and Tientsin Times, copies of
which were received here by the steamer
Glenogle, it is generally believed among
the foreign element at Pekin that the seiz-
ure of Kiao-Chou in November, 1897,
by Germany was first step toward the
realization of a scheme of Kaiser Will
helm to place German king on Chinese
SOIL
Prince Henry, the Emperor's brother,
who is in the Orient in charge of the
German Asiatic squadron, it is alleged,
will be king and the Chinese province Of
Shan lung his kingdom. The occupat ton
OF the interior of the province, it is
pointed out is direct move toward the
establishment of German sovereignty
over the whole of the $4,000 square miles
of Shan Tung, instead OF the 400 square
miles around Kiao-C Chou, which was TAX
en- out of the Chinese domain by Admiral
Won Dlederichs after the native mob had
killed Missionaries Neise, Hennie and
Ziegler: Baron Won Heiking, the Ger
man minister, has gone to Kiao-Chou to
consult with Prince Henry. Chinese mil
itary officials in Shan Tung have asked
permission from the Pekin government
to proceed against the German force Of
occupation.
According to the Japanese papers there
is grave apprehension in British German
diplomatic circles regarding the Situa-
ton in China, which is heightened by
the fact that Russia is again ma king
overtures for the control of affairs in
COrea.
In consequence of recent developments,
the leave granted Sir Claude Macdonald,
British ambassador at Pekin, has been
withdrawn, and he will remain at the
Chinese capital.

RALEIGH'S WELCOME.
None the Less Enthusiastic Be-
cause Ship was Overdue or Be-
cause it was Sunday.

New York. April 17.--New York forgot
church and defed rainstorm Sunday to
honor the cruiser Raleigh, vanguard of
Dewey's fighting ships and men. Salvos
from brass throated whistles of every
boiler that carries steam on water or
land, ponderous salutes from shore guns
and field batteries along the Hudson,
mingled with cheers from thousands
upon thousands Of Americans, attended
the cruiser from the time she weighed
anchor this morning till the end of her
trlumphal trip to and from Grants tomb.
Grim in her war paint and bristling with
her gums, the cruiser which tossed the
first shell of the battle of Manila bay
last May day was bombarded by patri-
otlc welcomes. Flags fluttered in the
rain from every flagstaff in the city and
thousands waited dinnerless beneath UNI
brellas in Riverside park for a chance to
cheer the fighting Raleigh and Dewey's
heroes. Overdue twenty-fOur hours, the
welcome was none the less hearty-sO
hearty that modest Capt. Coghlan and
his officers protested against honors they
declared should be reserved for Admiral
Dewey and proffered to none other.

MANY In DANGER.
Firemen Garry Out Employees in a
Wholesale Millinery
House.

Cleveland, o., April 15.-The i'm
mense wholesale millinery establishment
Of Hart & Co., occupying the block
from Bank to Academy street, is burn
ing. Ambulances have been called and
1t is reported that number of lives
have been lost
Later it was said by the fremen that
no lives had been lost, but several are
known to have been injured
The flames are spreading. Twenty en-
gines, a water tower and two fireboats
are throwing water into the burning
buildings.
The fire originated in the four-story
prick building occupied by Comey IL
Johnson, hat manufacturers, and spread
with great rapidity through the struct-
ure ana to the adjoining brick block oc
cupled by Hart 81 Co., Wholesale milli-
ners, and several other firms. The loss
so far is roughly estimated at a half
million dollars.
Both buildings were crowded with hun
dreds of girls. Many Of them were car
RED down the fire escapes by the fire
men.
About a dozen men, cut off from es-
cape In the Hart building, ran to the
roof and began crying for assistance.
The crowd below looked on, horror
to jump Ladders were run up fast as
possible, and all on the roof were soon
brought safely to the ground.
The injured, so far as known at this
hour, are:
Mary Milett, burned about face and head
condition critical.
+. j. Rockert, badly injured.
three unknown men badly burned.
Several fremen were slightly scorched.

A BIC FIRE IN LONDON.
Hyde Park Court is Invaded by
Flames.
LACK OF APPARATUS.
Would Have Been Great Loss of Life
Had the Fire Occurred
at Night.

London, April 17.-The British metrop-
oils narrowly escaped a calamity today
which might have rivaled the horrors wit
messed at the destruction by fire recently
of the Windsor hotel in New York city.
Hyde Park court, Albert Gate, one OF
the finest and most fashionable blocks of
residential flats. overlooking the Rotten
Row, caught fire at $50 o'clock this
morning. The building, which is eleven
stories high, was built by the notorious
Jabez Spencer Balfour, the former mem
Der of Parliament who was responsible
for the collapse of the IIiberator Build
ing association and other companies by
which thousands Of people were ruined,
and who is now undergoing a sentence of
fourteen years penal servitude as a re-
suit of his conviction on charges of fraud.
1t practically adioins the house occu-
pied by Sir Herbert NaylorLeyland,
bart, Liberal member of Parliament for
the Southport division of Lancashire,
whose wife was Miss Jennie Chamber
lain of Cleveland. O.
The fire broke out IN the lower part
of the building and spread up the ele-
vator shaft with great rapidity. The
flames involved the upper stories before
Inelf occupants were aware or the uan-
ger. When the alarm was raised the
affrighted servants dropped from the top
windows to verandas on the ninth story
The lack of relief arrangements of the
London fire brigade were again demon
trated, and even when the fire escapes
reached the scene they were 100 short
to reach the people in the upper stories,
who only escaped with the greatest diff
Guilty, while the residents of the lower
stories streamed out of the building, car
rying what they could of their belong
ingS.
The flames were not under control UNI
til / O'Clock, when the upper part of the
structure Quilted.
1t is considered lucky that the fire oc-
Cured in daylight, as otherwise it would
have resulted in loss of life. All the
floors were supposed to be freproof.
The investigation made into the cause
of the fire shows it TO have been due to
an electric wire. Several of the occu-
pants of the building escaped in their
nightdresses.
A whole army of fremen, under Com
mander Wells, was engaged i'll subduing
the flames.
During the con1a grafton the windows
Of the French embassy, which over
looked the scene, were crowded, and an
immense concourse of people watched
the fire from the streets. The property
destroyed included quantity of jewelry.
