 As the guests applauded the one in whose honor they were gathered sank back in a chair.
 "In never see another" she moansd again Her face turned livid and she fell to the floor.
 i've killed myself" she gasped as the wondering guests gathered about her. I'll never see another birthday. I killed myself because all my happi- ness was gone"
 They noticed. then that her glass had fallen to the floor. The yellow liquid it had contained already was discoloring the carpet. The toast she had proposed she had drunk in car bolic acid.
 An ambulance hurried her to St. Catherine's hospital but just as she was put on cot she died.
 She was a bride 6f only a few months. Several weeks ago she quar- re1ed with her husband and went 10 live with her friend, Mrs. Harris.

 League.
 The state league polo season will open next Monday evening and the managers will meet in Hartford to- morrow and make out schedule and transact any other business that may be necessary for :he success of the league. The business tomorrow will be the selection of a president and secretary and it is good betting that those officers will not be chosen from Boston. Waterbury will play on the same nights that she did when the National league was in existence. Next Wednesday then will see the opening game here but what team Is coming here will be decided to-mor- row. The Waterbury team has num- Der of players to choose from and the fans can be assured of seeing good polo. Manager Guest has secured Chatfield for the goal, Billy Tobin, who played here four years ago and who has been located in Plymouth will be the halfback, Walker, the clever center for the Rogers Brothers team, will be the center and the rush. CTS will be chosen from Griffin, Bot tomley, Spiers and Dews. The rush. CTS will probably be the first two.

Ed Connors writes that he is all ready getting in shape and is anxious TOT the season to open. He will prob ably play first base for Meriden all the season.
 NJ. J. Finn who is to manage the Little Rock team in the Southern league would like to get Mike Hickey of the Meridens, but Hickey is not on the market.
 Baseball players representing all of the several leagues are gathering at the HOllenden hotel, Cleveland, and 1t Is said that when the meeting of the Players Protective association is call ed to order to-day not less than fifty delegates will be present. Those who have already arrived emphatically de clare their purpose not to sign any National league contracts until that organization grants the same cOnceS- sions as conceded by the American league.
 It would seem that the ownership of baseball fields is not the most profit able business. Westerly now follows the lead of New London and Norwich. the property of the Westerly baseball company being sold at mortgagee's sale to Dr R. B Smith, representing some of the former stockholders of the company. The property consists of the grounds, bicycle track. and two tenement houses, all ol which were disposed of for $3,SSS. The company had stock to the amount of S7,0OO. This has been wiped out and new company will be organized.
 Secretary F.. k. Knowles, of the New York Baseball club, received word yesterday that Daniel Murphy. the Giants second baseman, is on the road to recovery, and will report with the other. members of the team on April l. Murphy, whose home is in AttlebOro, Mass, was operated on for appendicitis few days ago, and for a time his life was despaired of. The surgeons report that the ballplayer is now out of danger and will be strong again in the spring.. Murphy was se- cured few weeks before the season closed last year and replaced Gleason at second base. He made an excel lent showing and will be a regular man on the team this season
 In the St Louis Globe-Democrat is q special dispatch form Pittsburg, Thomas T. O'Brien, first baseman of the -Pittsburg club. is lying at the point of death in Phoenix, Ariz Sev- eral members of his family left for the west today, O'Brien enjoyed good health until on the trip of the players to Cuba. While trying to ward off seasickness he drank a quantity of salt water. This produced hemorr- hages, and he was compelled to return home at once, losing over forty pounds in three weeks. Going to Arizona he recovered his health, but pneumonia attacked him and he cannot recover"
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-02-02

O'Brien played left field for the New York team year before last and was one of the best and most popular players the local club ever had.
 The prospects of having a state league baseball team in Norwich next season have suddenly assumed a very gloomy look owing to the action of the Norwich street railway company. The Bulletin says it was expected that the street railway company, after the large business which they did last season, would at least do as much for team as they did last year and might feel inclined to go further in the way of financial assistance. Henry w. TibbitS saw President B. r. Learned in regard to the matter. The latter would give no encouragement that the company would lend any financial aid at all to the support of a team there this coming season. MT Learned ad- mitted that the receipts to. the road during the past two seasons had been very satisfactory but stated that as they had sold the grounds they would not care to invest any money in base ball this season. This attitude on the part of the company has induced Messrs Davenport and Tibbits to give up any further plans looking to the establishment of a team. Unless the matter Is taken up by other parties 1t looks very much as if Norwich would not be represented in the state league this season.

PROGRESS OF cup DEFENDER. Gear of Masthead of Simpler Form
 Than On Columbia.

Bristol, R. l., Feb 2-Yesterday numerous frames, shaped to required curves for the after end of the Bel mont cup defender were removed from the blacksmith shop to the boat shed, where the boat is fast taking shape. AS soon as they were given temper tests they were weighed, in accordance with a plan of the Heres hoffs, to determine the complete weight of the craft when finished. Every piece that goes into the hull of the boat is weighed as, far as practi cable Little is in the way of wood working Is being done at the boat shops, the deck fittings for the cup de fender being we'll advanced. This necessitated the laying off of car peI1ters, while the number of metal workers has been increased to rush along the buildings of the defender. The gear of the masthead of the new boat will have a more simple form than is shown in the rig at the mast head of the Columbia. Several frames were put on end yesterday on the forward sections of the craft and keyed temporarily until the heels are connected with the keel plates.

FIGHTS lND FIGHTERS.
Jim Corbett Expresses His Opinion of the Coming Battle.

If Ruhlin Keeps His Head He Will
 Have Chance, Says the Pompadour
 One-Erne Picks Jeffries For Win
 ner-McGovern Chooses Ruhlin and
 Will Back Him-Motion For an h.
 junction Filed Yesterday-An Tick
 cts Purchased Will Be Redeemed,
 As the time set for the Ruhlin-Jef TrieS bout draws near a guessing col- test as to the outcome has been tart ed General opinion favors victory by the chAmpion, and there appears to De no disposition to wager Un tne Ak ron man s chances. The lnd-ea ionS are that Jeffries will enter the Flag q to l favorite, but few will bet tnat the Doilermaker will score a knocKout. This is due to Jetfries's well. known tendency to make waiting nght. James J. Corbett, who has fought Jef- fries and had many a spirited bout With Ruhl.n in training quarters, has pronounced ideas on tne subject, and . expressed them as follows:
 If Ruhlin uses ordinary Judgment he cannot fail to stay the limit of twenty rounds. Should he lose his head, as he did the night he fought FitZsimmons, he Will be beaten before the fight has gone many rounds. Ruh- lin Is a strong fellow, who can take a great humping without inconvenl- ence, but he must not make the mls- take, as he d.d against Fitzsimmons, of thinking he cannot be knocked out.
 "Jeffries as every one knows, Is a heavy, slow fellow, who likes to walt and have the fight brought to him. He is so big and strong 1t Is difficult 10 hurt hIm, and he wants nothing better than to have q man rush at him, like FitZsimmons and Sharkey did. Yes, indeed, he will take care of any one who rushes him. But look at the time he had with me. 1 didn't rush him, but. by feinting and headwork. com pelled him to rush me. He never mt me an effective blow until the twenty third, when he got in on me through my careleSsness.
 Now, the question is whether Ruh- lin will be fool sh enough to rush Jef- fries, or use good judgment and con- pei him to set the pace. If the ono boy fights carefully and with judg- ment. there Is little chance of him get ting hurt; but If he mixes it and goes to slugging with Jeff, there will be a quick finish.
 II don't say Ruhlin will get the de cision, even if the bout should go the lint There will probably be some very closa work for the referee. No matter what happens it should be ah interesting battle."

ERSE PICKS JEFFRIES.

Buffalo, Feb 2.-When asked who in his estimation would win the long end of the purse In the Jeffries- Ruhlin combat, Pugilist Frank Erne replied: q think Jeffries will be declared the winner before the stipulated number of rounds is reached. l think he Will succeed in scoring a knockout over the Akron man for the reason that he Is much heavier say twenty pounds, and that makes all the difference in the world; then, again, he has much more cleverness at his command than Ruh- lin. But don't mean to say that Gus is not clever. Another reason l pick the present champion to retain his title on February 13 is that he Is about one of the hardset men in the ring to land an effective punch on. With that long left of his stuck out in front Of him it's hard to get by it and do dam age"

Live on In.taI1ment plan.

sOne of the curious business GUS. toms -here,'' says a correspondent in the. City of Mexico, Sis that of paying for things on the 'abono' or install ment plan. The great shops carry tens of thousands of accounts, which are al- ways being added to by fresh chars es, and continually being decreased by the payment of the monthly 'abonos.' From your cradle to your coffin you can. if you have any sort of credit. go through life on the installment plan.

MGOyERN PICKS RUHLIN.

Terry McGovern seems to be much interested in the outcome of the ap- preaching battle between Jim Jeffries and Gus Ruhl,n. When asked his opinion as to the result of the fray he said: 'Now, I may be wrong, but l really think Ruhlin has a fine chance of winning. and I am going to back him. too Ruhlin Is a mighty strong hitter, has a good head, and Is one of the shiftiest big men I have ever seen. There is no doubt as to his gameness, judging from his contest with Bob Fitzsmmons. Many a fighter would have quit had they received that blow in the solar plexus. If Ruhlin can reach Jetrries's face the same. as Jim Corbett did he will knock the cham pion's block off. Ruhlin has a good left hand It is a question, however whether he gets there, for Jeffrles knows thing or twO."

The Southeastern is now the real and the whole thing.
 Bone came very near taking 600 rushes in the National lea que. Count ing his record in the Southeastern, he has passed that figure, and leads the country. Of the goal tends, Fox of Waterbury had the best percentage Boston Herald.
 Tom Cotter had about 900 paid ad- missions in his opening contest at Fall River, while the attendance in Paw tucket fell below the 800 mark. The Springfield ldMeriden-New Britain-Paw- tucket combination with that good" manager, Aufort. seems to be up against it good and hard. The meet ing of the State league managers will be held in Hartford Sunday afternoon at o'clock. when the plans for the season will probably be perfected and a schedule committee appointed. At this. meeting it is expected that referees will be appointed and defi- nite circuit arranged for the season. Hartford Post.
 Unless the Pawtucket team receives better support next week than it has this, it's life will be very short. The attendance thus far has been very dls- appointing. Manager Aufort was led to believe it would be advantageous for him to move to that city but, judging by his experience. he will be sorry he did not stay in Connecticut.
 The. announcement of the disband- ing of the Maine Roller Polo league accustomed q deal of surprise. It was supposed the organization would be sure to last to the end of the season. It is believed that Fred Doe made money in Lewiston, and that Portland did well. The disbandment means. undoubtedly. that both Portland and Lewiston will be in Q bigger circuit next season.
