BASKET BALL.
A Brief Outline OF How the Game II
Played.

The best way to learn the game Is to see
IL played and then to play oneself The
following 10 offered to those who wish to
play but who have no opportunity tor OBJ
servations:
Basket ball may be played on any level
epace; convenient slzs 10 5lxI5 feet. Inc
goals are two baskets, Is inches In dinme-
tar fixed ten feet from the floor or
ground. The official ball is 81 inchts In
circum ference; weighs between u and
20 ounces. Five players make team. 1t
is customary to play twenty minutes,
rest ten, exchange goals. then play
twenty more. 7he object OF the game IL
to get the ball into your opponents has
ket as many times as possible, and to
preyent the other team from putting IL
into your goal. The ball Is put In play
by throwing it into the center OF the Held.
When tie ball goes out OF bounds, It
should belong to the player who nrss
touches 1t. lie will then throw 1t into
the field from where 1t went out. Opus
ing players may stand on the lins and
stop the throw II they can, but they can
not go out of bounds to get at him. 1t IL

weeks past bull speculation has been In

heavy" condition. Some had closed out
thsir interests before the holiday Of Sat

points on the call this morning came al
n complete surprise to this branch OF
the trade, as well as the bear faction.
Great excitement. with trading by far
the heaviest In several years. Shorts

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
A Device That Appears To BE superior
To Marcont's.

Chicago, November a7.-Prof. W. s.
Johnson and q. L. Fortisr Of Milwaukee,
today made . SUCCESSFUL test In this tity
of the wireless telegraph. They succeeded
in telsgraphing without wires through
suite OF seven rooms with all doors CLOSED
and through seven walls. Another ties,
was made when the signals were con.
vsysd through three fire proof vaults and
an ord iuary telegraph switchboard In
which thirty wires were connected NJ
and about forty dead wires were located
Notwhith standing the fact that this
switohb beard contained live wires, the
current psfssd through all Of the vaults
and through this board.
A third test was made In which the
ssndiuR Instrument was placed inside Of
one Of the steel vaults and both door
were closed and the combination loci
turned. The signals were then trans
mitted clearly from the inside OF thu
vault to an adjoining room. The pro-

THE FOOD FAIR.

Manager Flsgg has more than made
good his prediction that the food fair.
at City hall, which opened yesterday AZ
ts.noon, would lie a success. 1t is sue
cess and from the first moment the doors
opened until night when they were
closed, there was o Zig attendance.
Long before tho doors opened q big
crowd Of women filed tho entrance way
to the hall out into Congress street.
These women gathered for the purpose OF
getting Dewey souvenir spoon, given
away to the first 500 women purchasing
tiossta So great was the GRO vd that In
de of an hour the 800 had been given
out. This offer is repeated for every al
ternoon. In order to get spoon one
must come early.
Once within the halla pleasing sight
met the eye. Pretty booths, tastsfullJ
decorate, occupied the main floor, som'
occupying spscs in the centre Of the hall
In the booths exhibitors and demon
s.rators held forth to the evident graft
fcation of the ladies who slipped, tsstes
and SAN pied the various food products
to their hearts oontsnt. Among the sx
hibitors were many who had conducted
booths in tee big fair at Boston.
The entertainment alone Is well worth
the price of admission. Madame Flow
er's splendid soprano .solos were encoret
again and again and she fairly took ih'
audience by storm. Miss Laura Com
stuck, the "rag time prima DONNA" also
made big hit while the Prentice Trio
old favoritss. were literally applaudst
during their humorous aorobatio turn
The music by Evangsl'ns Austin's Ia
dies orchestra proved exceptionally I'm
and IVES one OF the principal attraction
Of the fair.
The fair cpsns at l o'clock this after
noon when another lot Of Dewey souveni
spoons will be given away. Without an
do ibt there will tie another large dele
ration of women awaiting the opening
the doors.

A BAD INSECT PEST.

The railroad worm. or apple maggot. is
the cause of the PUPPY. punky condition
OF the apples as We find them now in the
stored fruit and in that offered for sale.
IN" eggs are laid Just under the skin Of
the apple by small fly. This fly begins
her work in June and keeps il up pretty
much all summer, so that there may be
worms OF all ages In the apples. She has
= strong preference for sweet apples and
has practically ruined the crop of Tai

windfalls are usually fun of apple mag

"ReD-hEAOEO ROOSTER"
Tho sobriduet Applied by a Member OF
the Bar to Another Member

There was a hearing Friday afternoon
before Justice H. W. J Hawkins IN ,hc
city Court room in u suit brought bv Dr.
j. Il. LaROcuue versus Dennis Tromblcy
TO recover a bill for services amounting TO
5000. The case has been several times
continued. 1t is somewhat unusual fer
the quantity of legal talent it brings forth
when tho amount of the suit Is considered.
ON the side Of the plaintiff are f. IT,. Da-
Wis and Henry Ballard, while on the part
OF the defence appear ~ ~. Wulcott of
Winooski and Edmund &. Newer. A iuy
trial was called for and good portion Of
the afternoon was spent in summoning "A
Jury. They were G. Il. Gray. q. NJ De
laney, G. 3. Rand. f.. Selden and John
GIynn. One more julNman was called but
he could not be reached and 1t was agreed
to try tho case before five men instead Of
six.
The case grew out of the refusal Of tho
defendant Trombley to pay the bill for
medical services presented by the plaintiff
who cared for a child which was III and
died at the house Of Trombley. Or la
Rocque claims that he vas called
by Mr.. Tromblcy and urderst ood
that Trombloy was to pay the bill. The
defendant holds that tho child was that Of
Della Demartc, MR. Trombley's sister.
which its mother was paying for having
Kept there and that its mother should and
will when able. pay the bill.
The aggregation of attorneys made the
trial Of the case quite interesting. On one
occasion during the examination of "a wit
ness Mr.. Ballard chara cterized Mr.. VOL
colt as u "rcd-headcd rooster" and at an
other time. when the discussion grew
heated, Mr.. Ballard asked Justice fTaw-
kins TO take the gentleman from Winoo-
ski by the nape Of the neck and keep INN
whcr" he belongs. The hearing was not
completed Friday night, although it was
not adjourned until after 6 o'clock.
