FAMILY TREE FAD.

l Astonishing Number of Americans
 Who GO Back to Washington.
 "There is one thing I like in the list I of modern fads,'' said gentleman 1 yesterday, land it will unquestionably
 mean a. great deal to future genera = 1 tions. We would have been better off to-day in some respects if our ances- tors had hit upon a similar scheme I am speaking of the pedigree fad The pedigree is rapidly becoming the main
 thing. Pedigree horses, pedigreed
 cows, pedigreed dogs, pedigreed hogs,
 pedigreed cats and hares-everything
 must have a pedigree nowadays, And
 when it comes to the human family,
 the family tree is the thing-a sort of
 genealogical bush with the offshoots
 and limbs named according to historic
 connections. Really, while I like the
 fad, it has a humorous side, and I
 imagine that many of the great men
 who figured so conspicuously in the early history of the Amreican republic would be very much startled at the number of persons claiming a family relation.
 "The generations of Adam, so far as the scriptural account is concerned would be nothing in comparison with the generations of Washington. Liter ally he is almost the father of his coun- try, when it comes to the family trees which have been arranged by persons who are anxious for posterity, as well as the present, to know just exactly who they are and what they have stood for since the beginning of things. l have never bothered much about my own lineage, except to trace it back to my great grandparents in order to To- cate my nationality, but my lot has been cast with persons who are thor oughly irbued with the importance of the family tree, and in nearly every in- stance they have figured George Wash | ton in on the deal. He is by far the | most popular American in this busi 1 ness. A convention of his relatives in | this country would be something tre- | mendous. It would be an enormity, l overwhelming, and as variant in castes | as it would be great numerically But | I am sure the meeting would not be harmonious. 1t would not be lam- fly love feast, for it would probably EtpI6SbHl dll lIle pIiotSeS ol iiIV, anu some of his kinsfolk would be too good 70 speak to the others, and there would De others who would have nothing to 10 with some of his kinsfolks because .hey are stuck up But still the hing of pedigree is a great institution, lndthe pride of ancestry is good hing to instil in those who are to come after, lest we forgot in the crush If future events.

soapy Smith is twanging a harp some where near those regions, now,' said l another
 | But Kebeth, though he was making | a great hit, was sorely troubled. His crime haunted him and finally he broke down and confessed the whole horrible story to Adjutant McGill. That good man had feared that some
 such revelation was impending and was not unprepared. The night that Ke- beth had come forward, saying his name was Barabbas, had not been for gotten, but he had hoped that it was the metaphoric trend of the natives mind rather than the presence of appalling crime that had prompted his adoption of the title.
 Christ Jesus died for the sins of mankind'' sobbed Kebeth. Let me, a despised Indian show the world that I can die for my own"
 Acting upon the Adjutants advice, Kebeth recited the details of the mur- der to United States Deputy Marshal Tanner and led that officer and Judge Rehbrede and posse of citizens to the burial place of Burt Horton and his wife. Snow had fallen, and the shores of Lynn Canal were covered to the depth of ten feet, but the hunter led them without a misstep to the spot. Digging down, they unearthed the bones of the bride and groom.-Mc- Clure's Magazine.

 prime object is to get to the end al soon as possible, consistently witt acquiring notion of the progress o{ the plot If the skipper be ttoroughl,

 If gloom is suggested the whole book is skipped en bloc, and another tried. The question under discussion is whether skipping is vice or virture.
 We should be inclined to call 1t a vice. but necessary one. The skipper, if he is clever at the art, avoids an i'm mense amount of description of scene- ry, and this is all to the good but on the other hand, he gets through a greater number of trashy plots, and this Is all to the bad, and he may even- tually reach such state of mind that he cannot read consecutively if ha tries The only cure for the vice, which is not likely to cease to be necessary, is for authors to write stories so packed with interest that there is nothing to skip.-London Globe.

BRIDGEPORT GETS MURPHY.

Norwich Player Awarded to Manager
 ORourke-Cusic Released to Water l bury-Klobedanz Game Thrown Out.
 The directors Of the State Baseball league met last night in the Hotel Garde and several matters of impor-
 tance were disposed of. The meeting was called mainly for the purpose of
 considering the question about Dan
 Murphy now with Norwich, and after
 considerable discussion that player was
 awarded to Bridgeport. It will be re-
 membered that before Murphy was re-
 leased from the New York National
 league team Manager O'Rourke wrote to the manager of the Giants and got an option on the clever second base man. After Murphy was released he packed up his goods and went to Nor wich, saying that he would rather play in that city for five cents a week than to play in Bridgeport for a hundred dollars O'Rourke protested the matter and put aside the claim of the Norwich people that Murphy could go back to the club from which he was drafted. This claim was turned down last night and Murphy was officially awarded to Bridgeport, though it is expected that the matter will be settled "out of court" so to speak and that he will be allowed to remain in Norwich
 Manager Canavan announced that he had heard from Cusick and that the third baseman had apoogized for his acti ms while with the New Haven team about a month ago, when he purposely did all he could to lose game for the New Havens. Cusick was put off the team but not released and last night the suspension was raised so that he can play with Waterbury, but with no other club in the league. Connor has wanted him right along.
 Bristol formally protested the game won by New London Tuesday in which Klobedanz pitched for the Whalers and the protest was allowed the game be- ing cut out. Another protest by the same club was received protesting the game played with Derby about a week ago which was won by the latter team by a run. Bristol claimed that de- ,ision of Umpire Hart on the home | plate cost the game The protest was lot allowed.
 All the clubs were represented at the | meeting last night.
