PaternaIism in Norway.

The paternal government of Nor way has a fund of money amounting to about $500,0O0, which is loaned to farmers through the municipal off cers to assist them in buying land. Such a proposition was advanced by the populists of Kansas some years ago and did not meet with any fa- vor, but generally with ridicule. In Norway, however, it is actually in practice and small sums are loaned to industrious people at three per cent. interest for term of 25 years to enable them to acquire farms and improve not only themselves, but the state

Nachad, the Dangerous Turk,' who is to wrestle with John Piening at the Grand Central Palace, New York, on Tuesday night, is too strenuous in his training. The Turk, who possesses re markable strength, is somewhat handi- capped for the want of wrestling part ners. This. however, is the fault of the foreigner, who does not spare his wrestling partners. Just at present he has only two men to aid him in his preparation for the bout, Leonard and Roeber. Two other men have been compelled to lay off for repairs. Stein field is suffering from a bruised back. Fleming is in excellent condition for the match. He vanquished four men yesterday within an hour.

Waterbury Still Tn the League
 and Will Stick.

The Players Will Run the Team on the
 Cooperative Plan-Wallingford Will
 Come Here To-Night Under the New
 System-The Fans Have Promised to
 Support the Boys.
 A meeting of the Polo league was held in New Haven yesterday and it was one of the longest drawn out af- fairs of any yet held by the league. There was but little business done there at that. for the whole session was occupied mostly in dispute on the di- vision of the holiday receipts. Every thing was fixed satisfactorily, how ever, and all was harmony when the meeting was over. Manager Lush asked for a decision on the game that he won from Wallingford, but which was put down as an exhibition game. By a unanimous vote the game was al lowed to stand as a regular one. The schedule was made out as follows fer the next week:
 Friday, December 27-Meriden at New Haven, Wallingford at Water bury.
 Saturday, December 2S-Waterbury at Wallingford, New Haven at Meri- den.
 Tuesday, December 31-Waterbury at New Haven, Meriden at Walling ford.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Betting on the Results of the
 New Years Bouts.

They Are Three Star Bouts and No 8Iistake-Tommy Ryan Is Suing Jim Jeffries for Training Expenses Denver Ed Martin and Frank Childs 1Iatched-Old Fighters Are Gone.
 Public interest in the boxing show at the Jacques Auditorium on the after noon of New Years day continues to increase and when Jimmy Handler of New York and Young Peter Jackson or Baltimore face one another before The National Athletic club on that day It is thought the largest crowd that ever gathered at ring encounter in waterbury will be in evidence. This IS not altogether speculation, as sport ing men in general are convinced of the absolute worth of the contest. They know that the men have met be fore and that in each instance their battles were of the most aggressive and sensational character.
 There is an intense rivalry between the two and on account of the unsatis- factory ending of two of their past en- counters, they are anxious to decide the matter of supremacy once for all.
 
 deny. and that Young Peter Jackson Is equally fast does not call for argument. Handler thinks he can defeat Jackson this trip and although he is not pro- claiming his belief from the housetops, those who know him think him sincere He is working like horse and has all the earmarks of q we'll conditioned man. No chances will be taken by either principal in the bout and judg- ing by past performances the privilege of witnessing it should be worth a days journey.
 The preliminary bouts interest many. Kid Lee of Waterbury and Kid West man of Bridgeport will be seen in a bout that promises to rival their last meeting, which was no milk and water affair. New Haven will send along quite a delegation to watch Frank Hal lett box the Brass City Kid The lat ter will prove to be surprise. Seats are selling at $1 to S3 at Harrington's cigar store.

ny, the Edison Photograph Company. and

cover 100000 damages. to compel the de-
PENDANTS to turn over the profits derived
from selling Photographs and phonograph
supplies in the New England States. and
TO enjoiH them from further transactine
business in that territory
The suit is one OF a series OF compIicat-
ed actions growing out of the failure Of
the North American Photograph Company
and the subsequent disposal at a receiy-
ers sale % its assets. including certain
rights in the Edison monograph patents
and numerous contracts and leases Of
these rights to subsidiary companies.

maladministration of the compauy's at
fairs by Mr. Edison, the president. The
plaintiff corporation. according to the bill
was induced to waive its right during the
eighteen months ending July / 1895. and
during the early part of this period the
North American Company is alleged to
have been forced into insolvency.
