EXCITING GAME IN WATERBURY.

Hartford Wins-Two Men Injured.
 Waterbury, Jan. 19.-With the score 3 to tonight. Referee Doherty called third foul on Waterbury few min utes before the close of the game. The refereee's -action seemed unjust to the spectators and an uproar ensued. It looked like a riot and for a few mo- ments Doherty's position was decidedly critical The Waterbury players then became somewhat demoralized, and Hartford caged two goals in quick suc- cession. On the floor Waterbury had decidedly the better of the playing, but Cashman's work was remarkable and aided many times in the circle by Ev- erett he allowed balls to pass him but three times in sixty-two shots. Cotter adn Bartlett were badly injured, and they finished the game with their faces bandaged. Score-Hartford 5, Water bury 2 Rushes-Hipson ', Mooney 3. Stops-Starkey 36, Cashman 59.

lately concluded a postal treaty with the United States which gives us our first connection with Europes great parcels post system, and in spite of that international postal agreement 1t is proposed to put an additional tax on such packages as may properly be sent by mail in that country. In some cases the effect of this might be to double the postage. The economies of parcels post system are too great to be allowed, it seems, to the people of this country. It takes monarchy, apparently, to se- cure the people the benefits of cheap parcels carrying familiar to those who have lived in Germany and who receive parcels-post packages from that coun- try. Such an interference with the universal postal system Is likely, how ever, to lead to some inquiry, and 1t may be that the influence which have brought about this remarkable deci- sion may have overreached themselves.

Arthur M. Hull, manager of the St. Paul Globe, thinks advertisements are written to inform other people about food and it's value but are not intend- ed for newspaper men themselves, and yet of all men, newspaper men require good nourishing food to rebuild the brain and nerve centers. (They will agree that this is not joke.)
 MT. Hull says: T wish to give you an unsolicited testimonial for Grape Nuts. I have used your Postum Ce- real for about two years l have seen your advertising for Grape-Nuts in the Globe as well as other papers, and have appreciated it from an advertising standpoint, but some way l never bought any until about week ago, Since then I have practically lived on it. l think 1t is, without exception, the finest preparation of any food prod uct that 1t has been my good fortune to taste, and my enthusiasm prompts me to write this note. Wishing you all kinds of success

A burly policeman stuck his club direct ly in front of Dolly's face, as warning to the crowd to wait for teams, and
 Jack tucked her little hand under his arm protectingly, transferring his glare
 to the street official. He heaved a sigh, changed his gait, put his hat back on his perspiring forehead all in a minute, and Dolly knew she had won the day. The lunch was much a fail- ure, though. They had both been un- der too great strain to be natural in a public place. But at 5:45 Dolly was standing in the little hall of their flat listening intently. Her fingers were interlocked tightly and not quite nor nal in temperature. Young folks will make life very serious at times, and these bogus tragedies serve their pur pose in lieu of the real ones that come later on, The door flew open as the first footstep sounded outside and then

 of necessary settling of bows and stray locks and ruffles before Dolly could tell the maid to serve dinner. And after ward when Jack had poked up the grate fire and he and Dolly sat in it's light talking it all over, it seemed the funniest thing in the world. And Dolly had to open the door and show Jack with pardonable exaggeration just how ridiculous she had made herself before the paper boy. And then she must put on Jacks hat and show him how he looked that noon, and the woman must be rehearsed that thought Jack crazy that was Dolly's version of it. Then they went back to the fire and sat there talking about nothing, anything, every thing, far into the evening. But Dolly didn't tell him about the man with the overalls and tin pail.-Chicago News

 by Royal Deputy R. C.. Bruce, Past

 cuted. This was followed by an ad
 dress on Burns" by the chief MT
 Grant spoke at some length on the
 great Scottish poet, touching on the
 characteristic, poetical, social and other points of his nature, He was ire quently applauded and his address was pleasure to listen to. Chief Daughter
 Mrs. Pedrick also spoke and in few
 well chosen remarks complimented the clan on the success of their celebration.
 Hugh Pitcairn, the eminent soprano, next gave a rendering of the Purple Heather This song Is amply suited to the rich soprano voice of this young vocalist, and his rendering of the same fairly brought down the plaudits of the audience, and he had to respond with an encore. MT. Ferrie of Whitney avenue rendered two old Scottish songs in fine style They were sung in the real old Scottish style and immensely enjoyed by all present. Miss Bradley of West Haven in within a Mile of Edinboro Town" was exceedingly pleasing, and had to respond to an en- core. Songs were also rendered in fine style by Alexander Chalmers and a reading by Miss Henderson was inn mensely enjoyed
 A banquet by the Daughters of Sco- tia followed. Too much praise cannot be said in honor of the manner in which | they carried out their part of the work. | A dance followed, music for which was supplied by an orchestra.

LESSON FOR TWO.

Dolly had dressed her hair a new way and set bow well up on the left side in jaunty, saucy manner, for Jack liked a change and Dolly's hair was her pride. Altogether she was a charming little woman, and Jack was considered a lucky fellow.

 And Dolly did see-but not Jack, The train leaving town at five deposit ted its crowd without him. Then the 5:10. By the time the 520 had left a clear platform Dolly's face was flushed.

QUEER CUSTOMS DECISIONS.
Some of the Curiosities in This Line
 Recently Put Forth.

Some of the Curiosities in This Line
 Recently Put Forth.
 In the interpretation of the customs acts, the ways of local officials and CO., casionally of the treasury department, are past all finding out. There gene rally seems to be determination to make the laws as obnoxious as possible in order that the government may re- ceive its full pound of flesh. Mounted heads of animals, for instance, have been variously classified as "manufao- lures" of bone or horn at 30 per cent. ad valorem, as manufactures of fur at 35 per cent. ad valorem, and as "unenunle- rated manufactured articles" at 20 per cent. ad valorem. The treasury de- partment adheres to the last classified tion, deciding that such objects of art are properly manufactures, as more or less work is expended on raw heads to preserve them.
 The board of general appraisers of New York is body with judicial func- tions but it's members seem to be more possessed of acquisitiveness than of the judicial faculty. Two cases of law books, valued at four hundred dol lars, were specially imported for the use of the Aroostook County Law Li- brary association of Houtton, Me. There was not more than two copies of any book in the invoice, and the books were to be for the library and not for sale. Instead of allowing the books to come in free of duty under parag graph 403 of the tariff act of 1897, the collector at Burlington, Vt, charged a duty. Upon a protest the collector is sus- tained by this board of general apprais-

CTS. The facts in the case are not dis puted. The board holds, however, that fin the absence of the facts to the con- trary, we must assume, what Is quite probable, that the library of the associ- ation is a private one, designed solely for the use of members of the associa- ton, and therefore could not properly be considered as public in any sense of the word" Relying upon this Solomon ic display of wisdom the collection of the duty is affirmed and the protest overruled.
 But the decision which is of greatest importance to the public Is that pacg- ages of merchandise. "of no dutiable value." received under parcels post from Germany, require entry and an in- ternal revenue stamp. It looks as though the fine hand of the vigilant lob- by retained to prevent the diversion of express business into the post office is visible in this ruling. Germany has

THE ADAMowsK1 ouARrErrE,

The concert by the Adamowshl quar- tette which was announced for next Tuesday night (promenade night) has been postponed until some time in March. It seemed injudicious to the committee to hold the concert on Tues- day night, and the quartette itself was anxious to change the date because they play with Paderewski at Sherry's on Tuesday afternoon. Consequently the next concert in the chamber music course will be the Kneisel quartette con- cert on February 27.

NEW HAVEN TEAM WINS
FAST, DASHING GAME AT BOWLING
 HALL,
Blues Show Great Combination--Every Player Hero-Greys Played Fast Polo hut the Faster Team Won.


 Player a Hero-Grcys Played Fast Polo
 but the Faster Team Won.
 A really first-rate game of polo was witnessed at Bowling hall last evening by large concourse of spectators. The game started at clipping pace and the leather flashed from goal to goal at a great rate. Bone reused the enthusi- asm of the crowd by drawing first blood for New Haven. Both teams were play ing all they knew, and every member strained his utmost to outdo a rival. Cunningham, for Providence, equalized and thereafter Whipple, who was in rattling form, scored two in succession for New Haven. The period ended in favor of New Haven by the score of goals to 1.
 Play began slow in the second period, but very soon assumed warmer tone. Whipple scored the only goal of the periods. thus placing New Haven three goals in the lead. Providence players seemed inclined to get little rough at this stage, and Cunningham was warn- ed by the referee. The bell rang on scene of horse-play, the crowd being visibly excited.
 The speed seemed to increase In the third period, Providence striving hard to make up their leeway. But the Blues were all there every time The honors of the play were fairly even Whipple, from a pass from Canavan, notched number five for the Blues, and immediately after Pierce put on the second goal for the Greys. This was all the scoring.
 Providence played hard game, but were fairly beaten by faster team. Too much praise cannot be given to the players of the New Haven team. Every man played as if his life depended on the game. Bone, was in great form, but was too closely watched by Mur- tagh and Conway to get at the goal. Seeing this, he played the passing game and Whipple did the needful. The lat ter fairly outshone himself It is not too much to say that he never played a better game. Canavan and Whiting blocked all the best efforts of Pierce and Cunningham to score, and Lations play ed a crackajack game all through. Charlie can keep great goal when he Is so minded, there is no doubt about 1t. Lineup and summary:

 Big Ones

South Norwalk, Jan. 19.-Wilton lake, the source of South Norwalk's water supply, is practically empty, and the water commissioners are cleaning it out.

 Over one hundred pickerel were caught, and several cells weighing ten and eleven pounds. The carp were shipped to New York to be converted into fertilizers, while the other fish formed the breakfast of many a family in South Norwalk this morning.
