STARS LOST
AT Y. N. C.. A.
The EmeraIds Beat the
Crescents at Basket
Ball.

The gymnasium of the Young Mems
Christian Association proved made
quate to accommodate the crowd to see
the second series of games in the
basketball league, played last Saturday
night
The first encounter was between the
Emeralds and the Crescents, which
teams were represented as follows:
Emeralds-B Hebron, captain; Fai-
vey. Cheatham, w. Hebron. Moon.
Crescents-Johnson captain; Kerr,
Binley Lutz, Bradley.
Emeralds got home 1913 after a fast
game, in which Johnson and Kerr dis
played commendable form. B. He'll
bron, Falvey and Cheatham did most
for the wearers of the green.
Goals were made as follows:
B. Hebron 2, Falvey 2, Cheatham 2
Kerr 3, Binley 1.
The Business Men and Stars then
lined up in this array:
Business Men-Brock, captain; Cook
Clarke, George Waterhouse, G. Fuller
Albert Waterhouse.
= Stars-Moore, captain; German, Ara
media, Payne, J. Clarke.
When the fog lifted it was observed
that the ledger-lifterS had dtmmed the
considerations to the tune of 1911.
The Stars were outclasSed by the Su-
perior combination of the winners, who
are the strongest team in the league.
Though somewhat sloppy in their work
at the start, they braced up and made
creditable fight of 1t. Just as they
woke up, however the knights of COM
merce settled down to business, and
loafed out to the finish.
The goals were notched by Cook 2,
b. Clarke 2. G.. Waterhouse 2, G. Full
Ter 4 German 4 J. Clarke / Alameda
IL.
The Business Men played SO well that
| individual comment is needless.
For the Stars, "Old Pal German,
Moore, J. Clarke and Alameda did right
good service.
The umpires We're called upon to de-
eide several knotty points, and their
decisions were eminently fair. Umpir-
| ing a basketball game is not all undi-
luted joy, and a man sometimes fails
to please everybody. The league Is for

The amended standing of the teams
is as follows:

Dsnver's Mad Assassin.

DENVER, Colo, Feb 23-The mystic
rous assassin, who has for several
months terrorized the people of Denver
by murderous assaults upon women
walking alone at night, has added three
more to his already long list of victims.
All We're assaulted within few blocks
of the same place and within an hour.
Each was struck from behind on the
right side of the head with a club and
all were unconscious when found. The
victims are Mrs. Mary Short, colored,
who will die; Mrs. Josephine Unterahrer,
not seriously injured, and Miss Emma
Johnson, who may die. There is no
apparent reason for the assaults and
the police are without the slightest clew
to the perpetrator. 1t is believed to be
the work of a mailman. These assaults
| have occurred at brief intervals for about
a year and fully a score of women have
| been assaulted two or three of whom
| died

Coptic. The Rio de Janeiro was the
oldest and smallest vessel of the line
and / preferred to sail on a large and
modern ship. My brother would take
the trouble to miss steamer IN order
to go on that ship.
Captain William Ward, the COM
mander of the ship, was reputed TO be
about the most popular officer in the
employ of the line. The fact that he
was in charge induced a good many to
sail on that particular vessel. My broth
er was great friend of Captain Ward.
"On this trip he took the entire fam
lily, consisting of his wife, his two chill
dren, Rounseville Wildman, Jr., years
old. and Dorothy, years old. They also
had with them Katie O'Brien, the chit
dren's nurse, whom they took out from
San Francisco several years ago. My
brother has worked very hard and he
and his family have been under a strain
since those troublesome times in China
began.

the children would be benefited by

Mr.. Wildman said that his brother

knowledge the weakness. Scotts Col. Tai
bot Is surely manly and brave a soldier
as we could hope to find, and he wept
genuine, human tears; though even Scott
was aware of the prejudice against men

1t necessary to make Talbot apologize to
Waverley for his tears, though Lady Emily

soldiers tears Surely there are honorable
griefs where man may properly seek the
sweet method Of nature to relieve the over
charged heart. The men of Rome were
twice in tears, and personal sorrows are
no less honest and moving Ovid, who has
given US more aXioms than any other poet,
says pointediy that tears, at times, have
all the weight of words. In many cases
they have more. A man steeled against all
emotion is lacking in one Of the essentials
Of nature, a lack which may easily develop
a grievous fault. Lytton very forcibly ex-
pressed this opinion; he says 1t were better
to trust one pocket to pickpocket than to
give royal friendship to the man who
mounts in dew" Tears, then. are the happy
prerogative OF men as of women, and, used
righteously, are blessed gift Of God; a gift
not merely to serve the honorable purpose
of softening personal or wider sorrow, but
to demonstrate that God has given mankind
hearts by giving us tears. Mems tears
should be worthy tears, and perhaps, as
Lytton argues. private tears; but neverthe-
less the fearless man may fairly be said
to be an unnatural man.

Love nail regrets TO KISS II dry;
And Shakespeare, who is specially severe
on womans tears, believing leach drop
she falls would prove a crocodile" is sym
pathetic over ioveliness in tears, which are
pearls land ransom all ill-deeds." Ad-
mittedly, 'in woman's eye. the unanswer-
able tear is an engine of magic power,
leading even a woman, Nine. de Stael, to
question whether women are not wrong
to work on men by their tears" Then
there are women, like Mrs. Gummidge who
rather love to nurse a misery than en-
JOY a tranquil situation''-puir bodies ever
lastingly in black, and with a delight in
to be used in this way; 1t is a woeful
waste. The value of tears in women has
to be well weighed, but it Is just to diff
ferentiate between the too-easily crying
woman. the tears yelling from a sensitive
heart for trif1ing cause and the tears
which are heart drops. which serve to
show the presence OF, and not to relieve,
deep grief, like the bereaved wife Of Glide

The Example of NiObe.

The story of Niobe Is one example of
the overwhelming effect OF unbearable sor-
row-loslng her sons and daughters by the
sun god. she 'petrified with grief" Dryden
thought that in like cases we must lose the
healing blessing of tears and marble
foreseen afford relief" Another example,
from Montaigne, determined that the Gre
clan mythology shall not alone monopolize
the sad stories, may be given. He tells of
valorous knight, struck down at Buda,
and Of a German count, who, enamored
of so much bravery, went to pay a knightly
Difference to the body, and found 1t to be
that of his own SON. The story Is i'm
uttering a word or taking away his eyes,
he stood fxedly contemplating the body,
till, the vehemence Of sorrow overcoming
his spirit, he sank stone dead to the
ground" This speaks eloquently of grief
which whispered the o'er-fraught heart
and bade 1t break" One must weep or
one must die.
Thi. axiom is SO we'll recognized that It
should alone justify the true habit Of ma
ture. How often do we hear the fearless
grief. the form racked by dry, choking
sobs. and the lament of friends that no
tears flow to ease, the sorrow-stricken
soul. It is true that one must weep or one
must die Griefs tear the heart to break

Corners.

New 4-aven, Conn.,, March 11.-Pub-
lie telephones on street corners, like
fire alarm boxes, will soon be erect
ed in New Haven. They will be in
cased in aluminium boxes, the height
and shape of fire or police alarm
boxes. On each of four sides of each
telephone will be blue bell, the
sign of the public telephone. The
boxes will be ordinarily locked. They
can be opened by dropping into slot
a coin, which is recoverable when the
door is opened.
When the door has been so opened
the process of obtaining a telephone
connection will be precisely the same
as at any public pay station, a di-
rectory being hung inside each box.
The door Of the box will be so
arranged that it will shut automat-
ically when the receiver is hung up
after use. c. B. Doolittle, the super
intendent of public telephone sta
