game, which comes tomorrow with the
University of Toronto. There are
two more out of town games, one With
Harvard Saturday and one with Brown
July 81, the commencement day at
Brown. Manager Donnelly showed
great astuteness in his conduct Of the
ball team. He got the best there WIS
coming in every direction. The date
with Harvard is an example. 1t is
June II, Bunker Hill day, which is one
of the days of the year in and around
Boston. The game with Brown comes
on Commencement day at Brown,
which makes 1t more desirable date
than any other of the year at Provi-
dence. The game will be played at
Lincoln field Immediately in the rear of
the university buildings.
There never was a year when bet
ter teams appeared at the . college.
All the big ones have played in this
city except Dartmouth, which team
Holy Cross cut out purposely on ac-
count of trouble over arranging d foot
ball game last fall.
The team has lost but four games
this season, one each to Cornell, Harv-
ard, Brown and Wesleyan. It has beat
en- the acknowledged strongest college
teams of the country, Georgetown aud
the distinction of being the only col
lege team that has beaten both.
The success of the team financially
will be a record breaker, too, with rea-
sonable expectations from the games
with Harvard and Brown. The re-
ceipts thus far have been considerably
in excess OF any previous year. but on
account Of the unusually excellent
teams brought to Holy Cross the ex-
peuses have been more than cores
pondingly greater. Then, too. the team
had the Worcesters to contend with,
the first good league ball Worcester
has seen in almost a decade. If the re-
ceipts from the Brown and Harvard
games reach his expectations, which
are reasonable, Manager Donnelly fig
ures that the ball team will clear about
$4,000. which will go into thu general
athletic fund to defray the expenses Of
foot bail and track athletics, which are
rot self supporting at Holy Cross. Il
was a great year for Holy Cross on the
hall field, and not little Of the success
belongs to Manager Donnelly.

SUCCESSFUL MANAGER.
James F. DonneIiy Proves Himself to Be a
Past Master.

Manager James f. Donnelly of Holy
Cross team completes in few days the
most prosperous base ball season in
the history of the college from a dual
standpoint of base ball and finance,
and that is saying great deal as there
have been hot teams at Holy Cross
and teams which were big money win
ners.
Under Mr. Donnelly's able manage
ment the team has made all kinds of
records. The attendance at the game
Patriots day was the largest early hol-
iday attendance the team ever knew
and the attendance Memorial day broke
all records of the base ball crowd in
Worcester. There were 1900 persons at
the game.
The team has only one more home

Hartford, June 12.-Hartford won out
in the 10th inning in todays game with
the Providence team. The winning run
was made on an error by Lynch, who
made a wild throw to first base after a
two-base hit by Shindle. Umpire Gruber's
decisions were very yellow and affected
both teams
The game was an undressing one all

their positions well. Gruber allowed Nyce

New York, June 12.-The New Yorks
were easily downed by the Bostons today.
The champions scored Ii runs in three
innings mainly through Garricks ineffec-
tive pitching. Coakley relieved Carrick,
after which no Boston player connected
with the plate. He only allowed three hits.
Nichols was hit hard, but when hits
meant runs he was very steady. He was
also ably supported. An error by Long

A Street Paved with Glass.

Not satisfied with cobDlestones and
wood, the city of Lyons, in France, has
been experimenting with glass as a
street pavement. Since last Novem-
Der the Rue de la Republique has been
paved with devitrified glass. This new
product is obtained from broken glass
heated to temperature of 1880 de-
grees and compressed in matrices by
hydraulic force. The glass pavement
is laid in the form of blocks, eight
inches square, each block containing
sixteen parts in the form of checkers.
Those blocks are so closely fitted to-
gether that water cannot pass between
them, and the whole pavement looks
like one gigantic draught-board AS a
pavement it is said to have greater re-
sistance than stone, it is a poor con-
ductor of cold, and ice will not form
on it readily; dirt does not accumu-
late upon it so easily as upon stone
and it will not retain microbes. 1t is
more durable than stone and just as

Alcoholism in France

In weighty paper just prepared for
the French Bulletin MeG.cal, DR.. Bru-
non, an eminent medical writer. de-
clares that the greatest national peril
hanging over France just now is alco-
holism, and more than all, alcoholism
among women. Singularly enough his
researches have demonstrated that the
women of picturesque Normandy are
more completely in the grasp of the
drink fiend than the women of any 9th
er province of France. Drink is sold
by the grocer, the coal dealer-even by
the green grocer; and what is still
more fatal, nearly every shopkeeper
dispenses wee drops to customers
worth cultivating-ju to steady the
connection. The question assumes a
dark aspect in its relation to the ter
rible infant mortality in Normandy
which DR.. Brunon attributes to the al
most universal prevalence of chronic
alcoholism among women of the peas
ant and artisan classes. London

Like the "Three Tailors of TooIey Street.

Like the Three Tailors of TooIey Street"
From the Indianapolis Journal: The
German newspaper publishers of Mis-
souri, seem to be taking themselves too
seriously. The total number of Ger
man newspapers published in Missouri
is thirty-eight. of which six are pub
lished daily, twenty-five weekly, and
the rest semi-weekly or monthly. II
every German newspaper publisher in
Missouri was present at the st. Louis
meeting, which Is not at all probable,
the total attendance would have num-
bered thirty-eight AS a popular dem
onstration this does not greatly out
class the three tailors of Tooley
street" Nor is there any reason to
believe that the mass of the German
Americans in Missouri are excited
about the alleged Misrepresentation
concerning the attitude of the Ger.
man government or the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
There was no occasion for the meet
ing nor for the protestations regarding
the loyalty of German-Americans,
which no one questions. There are
over 1000 English newspapers pub
lished in Missouri. If the publishers
of these papers should hold a meeting
and pass resolutions condemning the
thirty-eight Germans for trying to or
ganize class sentiment on national
lines there would be a fine state OF
brotherly love among the newspaper
publishers in Missouri.

SOUTH AMERICAN WILDCATS.

This is a picture of yagouarondi
and his alter ego, an eyra-cat, recent
acquisitions of the Berlin Geological
Garden which are exciting the liveliest
interest among the professors of nat

The first is a present of Peter Neu-
mann, proprietor of large plantation
near Buenos Ayres; the other, also a
native of South America, was brought
to Hamburg by sailor. biologists

ular wildcats than about any of the 300
other kinds described by Brehm and

be pointed out that Brehm was prob
ably mistaken about both of them.

There was a sale of antique furniture
and bric-a-brac in this city the other
day, and among the things sold was an
ld-fashioned mahogany sofa that be-
longed to Daniel Webster. The Wash
ington people, however, did not seem
to care for the relics, and paid the
higher prices for modern antiques"
The old sofa bore an inscription, signed
by General Meigs, that it once was in
the possession of the great statesman,
and that during his life in Washing
ton Mr.. Webster spent much time on
this sofa. Ine inscription closed with
the statement that during the last
months of Mr.. Webster's term as secre-
tary Of state his health was so bad
that he was obliged to spend hours on
the sofa. The inscription was read by
the auctioneer, but it did not seem to
cause any perceptible increase in the
bidding, for the old mahogany was
knocked down to a clearinghouse.
