New England kurn Hattin Homes.

A few facts concerning the Homes may
be of interest to number of our read
ers. The 81 children now in the Homes
may be divided, according to their place
of birth, as follows: Massachusetts n,
Vermont Is, New Hampshire II, Connec-
ticut 8, Maine l; outside of New England
4, unknown l. 1t will be noticed that YER
mont is second on the list, and yet this
state has done comparatively little to sup
port the work. This is undoubtedly due
to lack of opportunity. and want of
knowledge of its needs, as we are often
more careful to obtain information con-
corning what is going on at distance,
than of that which is transporting right
in our midst. The three homes already in
use are full, and constantly applications
are being made for the admission of more
children, especially for those younger than
are now taken. There are two vacant
houses belonging to the association which
could accommodate 25 more children, If
they were fitted up and suitably furnish

of hers and said he had never paid her
any of the money obtained on the pawned
Jewels When she was shown an inter-
view with Strong, in which he denied
that he had pawned her diamonds, she
said:
THAT is all a batch of lies. For the
100000 worth of goods which Strong
pawned, his brother-in-law, A. r. Shat
tuck. put up So. 600. out of which I maid
5000 to Emanuel Friend. my attorney,
and S. 10 to pawnbrokers. Strong's story
that he paid me back anything is an
other lie.

BIG MATCH TOMORROW
BoRALMA AND LORD DERBY
WILL MEET.
The $50, 900 Race Will Be Trotted at
Hartford and the Interest in
the Match 10 Intense-Career
of Riley B.

Today Is the last of the Grand Circuit
races at Columbus, and tomorrow being
an off-day, the first of the big trottng
match races will be held. At the Charter
Oak track at Hartford Conn.,. tomorrow,
the $4,000 match between Smathers Lore
Derby and Lawson's Boralma VIII pc
trotted, and there is as much interest In
it as in the match between The Aobott
and Lord Derby at Brighton Beach.
The fact that Riley B. was entered In
the POT pace at Columbus yesterday looks
as IL the owners of the black PAGER were
entering him out of his class, and that
may account for his being suddenly
taken sick" On the second day OF the
Detroit meeting-the day that Scott Hud-
son landed the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' with his blind Oakland Baron
horse, Rythmic-Riley B started In
2:07 pace which was won by Geers with
Shadow Chimes in straight heats, 2:05 and
2:05 ga. Fannie billiard finished second
in the first, 2:O5, and third in the next.
Riley r. finishing fifth in the first and
second in the 2:05 ga heat. On the sec
ond day of the meeting at Cleveland,
Riley B. started in the 2:4 pace that was
landed in straight heats by the unbeaten
Dan Patch. Those heats, 1t will be re-
membered, were paced in 2:03 "a and
2:05 Ia, and Riley B. finished second in
both of them, Searchlight. Common and
Indiana finishing behind him. Yesterday
he was entered in the 2:07 pace at Co.
lumbus, but didn't start. Snow took the first
heat in 2:05 Ia and the third in 2:0S Ia,
Major Muscovite taking the second in
2:0S IA, the heat that the judges tried
to take Snow out of the sulky of the Hal
