DOES BLOOD TELL?
The Greatest Men Have Been the

The Greatest Men Have Been the Off, | spring of Lowly People.
 "The puppies fight we'll" exclaimed
 Wellington, as he saw the fops and dandies of the Guards braving the French fire and dying like men.
 Blood will tell" exclaimed the Brit ish nation when the names of the mo-
 ble and commissioned dead appeared in the Gazette after Waterloo. Their meaning was that noble ancestry be- gets noble brood; that a line of gen. tlemen for forefathers gives a man a certain spirit stamina and courage which the yeoman and the shopman lack; that the thoroughbred man, like the thoroughbred horse, is superior to the common mustang or cart horse.
 It is true that the traditions of a mo- ble family have a certain influence on the scions thereof and keep them up to certain ideals especially in the matter of physical courage. Moreover, wealth, education and generous habits of living with which most men of good society are familiar from birth, have tenden- cy to create keen sense of honor and a personal pride that have a strong in-
 lut1lte upOu tOIuutl. Cl CAalllE'lGo prove that blood has little advantage over the base-born, either in the mat ter of intellectual or physical qualities,
 The greatest men have been the off, spring of lowly people, The most rug ged intellects seem to have come from the tillers of the soil, and to have de- rived therefrom a certain natural strength that men born in castles and manor houses do not inherit Of all kings and rulers the strongest were the founders of dynasties. The first hold CT of a hereditary title nearly always is the greatest. This fact was known to the French wit, who said: We cannot all be nobles. Some of us must be an- cestors" In literature and all depart nents of learning the majority of the masters were plebeians. Shakespeare was the son of a wool-comber, Johnson of bookseller, Horace of freedman, Socrates of q midwife-but the list would be too long if 1t were completed here.
 On the point of physical courage the cadet of the oldest family in Europe and the commonest kind of plebeian are equal The well-born puppies" fought bravely at Waterloo, but no more bravely than the common SOL ders, the sons of tenants on the "pup- pies" estates. As reckless and daring a body of men as ever faced blazing gunpowder was regiment in the civil war recruited in the lowest slums of the Bowery The stripling rough in the cities of the United States is one of the finest fighting animals on two legs.
 After all, physical courage Is very common and not a very lofty attribute. When the "Six Hundred" made that charge at Balaklava the horses went where the men rode them, and six more horses than men were killed, but the horses were not celebrated. Yet phys teal courage will be admired until the end of time, and nine philosophers out of ten would rather have their morals impugned than their courage; and nineteen philosophers out of twenty would rather be the grandson of great men than be the famous founders of families.-San Francisco Bulletin.

RREAK EVEN.

Bridgeport, Aug. 1.-Poor ball play ing before a large crowd was the prin- cipal characteristic of the double head- CT between Bridgeport and Derby here to-day. In the first game an amateur named Nichols was put in to pitch for Bridgeport and he did well until the eighth inning, when he weakened and Mccullough was put in, This game was won in the ninth by some good luck for Bridgeport. The second game was exciting until the ninth when some wretched work and bad errors gave the visitors three runs and the victory. The scores:

PEACHES AND APPLES.
Peach Yield at Shuttle Meadow About
 22,000 Baskets.

Peach Yield at Shuttle Meadow About 22.000 Baskets. The peach orchards of Shuttle Mead oW mountain have borne a full crop of the luscious fruit this year, and na- tive peaches will be plentiful Con- pared with last year, the crop is about double what it was then, but when a comparison is made with form CT years, it is stated that it is not a record breaker.
 The total yield of the Shuttle Mead ow orchards, which pretty much sup ply the local markets at the height of the peach season, is roughly estimated at between 22.000 and 25,000 baskets. F. Rogers estimates that his orchard contains about 1000 or 5000 baskets. The crop of Josiah Merrimans orchard is estimated at about 5000 baskets, the yield of Robert Dunham's trees at 5000 or 4,000 and that of J. A. Gridley's at about 5.000
 The Connecticut Valley Orchards company's crop Is estimated at 25,OO0 baskets for both orchards, that at Ber- lin and Deep River. Throughout the state, as whole, the growers count upon full peach crop.
 The early native peaches will make their debut in the local markets in about weeks time. but natives will not be plentiful for couple of weeks or more.
 The apple crop this year in this sec- tion is reported to be a failure. Ap- pies will be scare this fall. The yield will not be over five per cent. of full cron at the Sh,1t le Meadow orchards Plums are not very plentiful, either The indications for full grape har- vest were good until a few days ago, when the hot weather, followed by rain rotted the grapes on the vines. E. Rogers stated today that he was not so badly fixed as some of the fel- low fruit growers. He will get not over one-third of crop Other less fortunate growers had their fruit en- tirely ruined on the vine.

THE DEPENDANT APPEALS.

An appeal was filed yesterday by the defendant in the case of William R.. Shelton vs. John F. Healey, In this case MT. Shelton sued to recover money pad for alleged worthless stock and set up fraud on the part of the defend ant. It seems that MT Shelton sold to MT. Healy house and that the lat ter gave in payment therefore $6,Oo0 worth of stock in the Charter Oak Brick company, of which he was presi- dent, and manager. It Is claimed by MT. Shelton that MT Healy at that time represented the stock to be worth 100 cents on the dollar, About three months afterwards the company went into insolvency and there was nothing in the estate.
 Judge Ralph Wheeler in the superior court awarded MT. Shelton a Judgment to recover $4,315 and from this judg- ment the defendant appeals through his counsel c. s. Hamilton. Attorney Walter Pond of this city and Bill & Futile of Hartford represent MT. Shel-

 Der, of New Players-Vollendorf Will
 Leave the Team.
 A shake-up in the ranks of the New Havens will probably take place within the next two or three days as Captain Canavan is very much disgusted with the showing of his men of late. The game at Norwich Wednesday capped the climax and after it Vollendorf was let go It is stated that Kuhn is not playing in his best form and that he is slated for a walking ticket as soon as Canavan can get a new man to fill his place. Bannon will be tried as a regu- lar pitcher and a new outfielder will be signed.
 This afternoon the Derbys will play here and as usual a good game may be expected. The New Havens returned from their disastrous trip last night and if they can win the three home games during the rest of the week they will be doing we'll Waterbury is here in a double header tomorrow.

Judge Gager Finds in Favor of the Petittoners-No Opposition Finding City Court

City Court.
 The question as to whether a trolley road from Mt. Carmel to Waterbury via Cheshire and prospect would be in the interest of public convenience and necessity, was practically settled by Judge E. B. Gagar in the superior court yesterday. Before him was held the hearing on the petition Of the Cheshire Street Railway company, incorporated by the 1901 legislature for a finding that public convenience and necessity demanded the building of an electric road between the points mentioned. The petitions were presented by the Hon. Allan w. Paige of Bridgeport, counsel in chief to the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company, and who with several other parties friendly to or in one way or another more or less intimately connected with the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company, is the owner of the franchise under which the road is proposed to be built. Attorney S. c. Morehouse, of this city, appeared as associate coun- gel with MT. Paige, but took no active part in the proceedings, all of the ques- 4 ttOuli6 Ol WllueSSeS DelllS uOHe ny MT. Paige and the court.
 AS no opposition developed to the building of that part of the proposed road between the points named Judge Gager decided after the hearing had been in progress about half an hour and about half dozen witnesses had been examined that further evidence was unnecessary. He then took the papers in the case and plainly intimat- ed that his decision would be in favor of the petitioners.
 Civil Engineer A. B. Hill of this city, Town Agent William E. Downer of Hamden, First Selectman Alfred s. Bennett of Cheshire, George w. Keeler of the same place, and Walter Scott proprietor of the Waverly Inn were among those who spoke In favor of the trolley.
