President Mckinley cannot attend the
game, and Gov. Wolcott has also ex-
pressed regrets at being unable to wit
ness the struggle, but nevertheless the
management is not at all worried on
the question of attendance. Friends Of

the soldier boys and the doctors md
lawyers themselves have been hard at
work during the last two or three DAYS.

Donations for incidentals and all the

Enough cigars have been donated to
Chairman James F. McGovern to $40

and 1t is guaranteed that no attendant
at the game will lack for weeds, good
or bad. The committee has entirely lost
sight of the fact that Friday is a day
Of i'll omen for sickness, and is going
ahead with a degree of hustle that war
rants booming business for either
medical examiner or undertaken.
Frank B. Hall, chairman Of the corr
mittee on refreshments, accepted an
offer Yesterday from Rebboli for 1000
cocoanut cakes to be devoured during
the game. Mr.. Hall and his assistants

will be able to dispose of the entire

might do well to heed the opinions ex-
pressed by outsiders. 1t may be taken
for granted that the road has been
earning nearer II than per cent on
the capital, and that the surplus over
the usual dividend has been used for
the Improvement of the line, but thare
is yet another question to be consid-
cred. The following comments Fl pm the
Hartford Times describe the point at
issue:
There is not "a ghost of a show" for
the stockholders of the Boston and
Albany railroad to receive a 10 per
cent dividend again, and when the
transportation of freight by trolly be-
gins, as it soon will begin, it may be
that the road will not earn even per
cent. Therefore the stockholders will

in the department lately that the ma
jority of the officers are waiting pa
tiently for almost anything to turn up.
One of the most nonsensical and most
unreasonable which the chief refuses
70 explain is in the change of Officer
Boyle. He was taken off night duty
Monday evening and ordered to report
for duty Tuesday morning Tommy
did his tour of duty for the day Tues
day and was again ordered to go back
on nights last evening, which he did.
Officer Bulger has been taken off night
duty and put. on Front street days in
Officer Boylels place. The members of
the department are at sea regarding
the move,- and Tommy himself is be-
wildered. 1t is supposed that officer
Boyle did not posses the proper shape

the sun was shining and will now be re-
legated to the north end to travel in

Having heard that a specimen of the
kissing bug had been captured in Will
limantic and another in Hartford, Prof
B. F. Koons Of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College borrowed them for in
spection. He then discovered that one
was only a wasp, and the other "our
common horntail, so-called, on account
of the peculiar shape of it's ovipositor,"
which pierces wood to the depth Of
half an inch and does much damage to
elm trees. The real assassin bug" or
kissing bug" Prof Rooms says, "has
been here since the declaration of in
dependence, and no one has yet been
assassinated by it," He gives "Opisco-
etus personatus" as it's scientific name,
and says the bug is unworthy of it's
reputation for ferocity 1t lives ION the
blood of insects and may occasionally
attack higher animals. One punctured
my finger when captured it, some
years ago, but the wound was no more
severe than a pin prick 1t is closely
allied to the large bedbug of the south
and west, and of the two species the
latter is the more to be stunned" Has
Prof. Rooms identified the right bug?
He gives it a different name from that
found in the newspapers.

JUST A DAY OFF,
Greatest Event Of the
Season Near
at Hand.
PARTICIPANTS IN CONDITION,
All That is Needed Now is
Clear Skies and the
People.

Every manner of success and nothing
else is staring the doctors and lawyers
in the face when they cut loose for
charity at the oval tomorrow afternoon.
The doctors did their last turn at
practice on the Holy Cross grounds yes
terday afternoon and everybody got
his arm in shape to trim the legal lights
when the struggle comes.
A five-inning practice game was play
ed with the Lyceum Reserves and the
result was beneficial to the Doctors
playing. Not a man ON the team but
feels that Sullivans delivery will be
an easy thing and as they dream to-
night each and every man ON the team
will imagine that he sees the heavy
hitting medal coming his way.
Meanwhile the lawyers were hard at
work at the oval for two hours, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock. Connie Murphy
was taken along to coach the bar in

will recommend the increase of the
regular army to full 100000 men. 1t
is asserted that the sentiment of the
country will back the president in this
move, but that is quite different from
saying that the requisite number of
senators and representatives will vote
for such bill. There can be no doubt
Of the necessity of an increase when
the government has so many and so
large interests to look after outside Of
the country,

pany contributed box of lemons. At
the Clark Sawyer Company the doctors
were given the entire freedom of the
store, the company agreeing to furnish
all necessary glasses, pals, tubs or
anything else contained in the stock.
A. H. Mirick gave box of lemons and
gave the doctors an order on anything
in the store that they might desire.
John w. McKeon & Co. subscribed for
four cases of ginger ale, and promised
more if needed. At the E. T. Smith
Company, the committee was given
practically free run of the store to pick
of anything in sight. Three barrels Of
peanuts, already bagged and ready to
be dealt out, were in waiting for the
committee, and rs pounds of sugar was
prepared, and in waiting. M. j. Finne-
gan purchased 100 tickets, and sent the
doctors away with an order for four
cases of ginger ale, and the promise Of
as much more as is needed.
Frank B. Hall, who will have charge
of the hurdy-gurdy, has secured a
novel hitch for the outfit and will drive
on 2.10 trotter pulling the rig up the
track as the track has never been
turned before. Fat candidates for track
honors in the walk and in the sprint are
in training and are At to go the race
of their lives. The fife and drum corps
WHICH LII. JOHN DuSBdn mas IuT-
nished for advertising purposes will
meet tonight at the Consolidated car
barn where a special car will be in
waiting, properly labelled, for a tour
of the railway system of the city.
President Francis H. Dewey has plac-
ed the car at the disposal Of the man
agement and John r. Lynch will be in
charge of the corps.
After this afternoon the two teams
who are to be the center Of attrac-
ton will go out of training, go to bed
early and be up with the lark for a 10
mile spin on the road in preparation for
the game. Umpire Col Samuel E.
Winslow and his assistant, yet to be
announced, were hard at work yester-
day sharpening axes and loading guns
for the fray. They will be assisted in
preserving order by the following po-
lice detail: officers Gleason, Dunn, C.
V. Barker, O'Connor, Williams, Cum

1t is expected that the entire stock of
reserved seat tickets now on sale at
Rawson & Simpsons will be sold out by
noon today 1t will be we'll in the
opinion of the management that any
one desiring a reserved seat should
make his selection today to avoid dis
appointment. If necessary chairs will
be laid all the way around the running
track, but it is known that these seats
will not prove as satisfactory as those
in the grandstand, where most of the
fun will take place.

The Prince of Monaco is quite capable
of taking care of himself, as witness his

de Castellane, on the ground that the
latter is beneath princes station and
has assumed title to which he has no
right. Anna Gould should not let her

Secretary McAneny of the National
Cival Service Reform league has gone
cunning for Secretary Gage. The cabi-
net officer undertook the defence of the
presidents order, exempting several
thousands of offices from the operation
of the civil service rules land now he
gets his reply in the form of charges
that he has wantonly violated or evad-
ed the laws in the conduct of his own
department. Mr. Gage does not seem
to be the kind Of man to rest quietly
under such accusations, and rejoinder
may be expected.

Auditor Kimball finds that "a report
is being industriously circulated
throughout the commonwealth that 1

time that he has very pretty little
fight on his hands.

The Boston anti-imperialists appear
to be men of the kind that will hang
themselves If only they are given
enough rope. Their latest circular
concerning Emperor Mckinley" "po-
litical jobbery," imperial BOSSES" ETC.,
rivals the yellow press in typographical
appearance, and by its reckless char
acterization Of public men recalls the
hot-spotted diction of Denis Kearney,
the sand lots orator. The anti-impe-
rialists cannot hope to gain anything
but obloqhy by such talk The Amer
lean people will laugh at them.
