Interesting Notes on Those seen on
the stage-Fersuson's First Appear

After one has seen the depletion OF
certain phases of life on the stage, and

4 characters becomes in a way acQuatnt-
ed with the people presenting them, in
'iterest always attaches to who the peo-
pie are and what they have done. II
y is hard for one not constantly in touch
with dramatic people to remember the
things of interest that may have been
known at one time or another con-
corning them. "A half hour spent with
the members of the "a Modern Mag
dalen2 Company Monday night, would
have recalled many interesting things
of years past. The company com
prises many of the well-known people
lin the east. but to western audiences
they are not so we'll known.
w. j. Ferguson, who appeared as
Hiram Jenkins, is undoubtedly the best
known and one OF the best character

has had many interesting experiences
lduring his career on the stage, but none
has eclipsed that of the first night of
his appearance as a professional. Mr..
Ferguson made his debut on the night
of April IA, 1865, at Ford's threaten,

American Cousin" a Juvenile character
with short speaking part. President

Miscellaneous Matters.

disposed Of. Mr.. Kreutzer presented a
petition of the Marshall Telephone
Company to extend its underground

1t was referred 10 the committee on
water works and electric light on the
motion of Mr.. Greene. who thought
that all such matters should be sub

the minds of the committee
Mr.. kreutzer also presented a petit

between Seventh and Eighth, asking
that a cement sidewalk be constructed
on the south side of the street On Mr..

Tn. Pac@aa House Sewer.

Tn. PacLeEg House Sewer.
Mr.. Henry brought up the packing
house sewer in the shape of resolu-
ton, which called for twelve-inch
sewer, irt the neighborhood of 1900 feet
III length, to be constructed from the
plant OF Britain & Co. to con-
meet with the main sewer southeast of
the plant. Britain & Co. are to pay
for the sewer when completed and are
to be Issued city warrants for their re-
Enumeration. A clause in the resolution
calls for the company to remit to the
city the cost proportionately as to the
number of years, providing that within
five years after the co.s1.tetion Of the
work 1T should dispose Of it's plant to
some trust or combine. The sewer wi
cost between 5000 and $1,000.
Mr.. Greene raised a point as q pre-
cautionary measure that the word
Corporation" be inserted before trust
or combine" declaring that it was a
technicality that might possibly be
taken advantage of, SO long as there
was really no such thing as a trust or
combine. Mr.. Henry accepted the sug-
gestion and the amendment. that had
been offered by Mr. Greene, was with
drawn. "A second resolution introduced

called for the construction Of the sew

 Then the seat between the two young ladies became vacant, and, with a sigh of satisfaction, the old gentle man occupied it, saying, sotto voce, T won't give up my seat again, even for an angel"
 The first young lady started quickly and turned to him: T beg your par don, sir.''
 The old gentleman paused moment before replying. T mean, of course, I wouldn't give up my seat even for another angel" The young lady smiled her triumph.

THINGS WE

Why is it They so Seldom
 Agree With US?-

Whats the reason the things we like best so seldom seem to agree with us? Maybe it's because we oyereat of them. Then follows Q it of indigestion. Only lasts day or two perhaps. But it's most uncomfortable day or two. We don't mean to abuse our sLomachS but we all do it more or less. We see things we want and can't resist the longing for them. When it's too late we regret our rashness. But there's a way to escape the conse- quences of such indiscretions. A dose of a good, digestant like Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
 Indigestion is always due to the same cause. Your stomach is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest. You can't rest it by going without food. That would mean starvation. But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will restit. It does the StOnach'S work. In the mean time the tired organ is gaining fresh strength. Before long it will be as strong as ever. You don't have to diet. KOdol Dyspepsia Cure will di- gest any kind of wholesome food.

Tries suicide Once . year.

who on April 30, 1894, was left widow. Her grief for her dear departed was so strong and it has continued un- abated to such an extent that every year, when the anniversary of her husbands death comes round, she att tempts to commit suicide. Seven times had she done so and seven times had she been prevented from carrying out her object. This year she lit her chafing dish for the eighth time, and again the neighbors rushed inte the room in time to prevent the rash act. When restored to consciousness the woman exclaimed: My darling, you won't lose anything by waiting. Wait until next year. London Mail.

 Players Were i16 the Game and Did
 We'll Young Sullivan at Second
 Played a Star Gama-ResuJts of
 Other Games
 Waterbury won a game nsom Meri- den yesterday by the clever work of Charley Clancy in the first place and secondly ,fby the fast, clean playing of the team behind him and thirdly. by good hitting when hits were needed. Clalfcy was in fine form and allowed fbut four hits throughout the game. Two of those, single and two bag ger, came ill the first inning, but neither counted for anything in the scoring column. There were just five men at the bat in that inning Four went to bat in the second, one of them sticking out his elbow and getting hit by the ball. The third, fourth and fifth innings saw three men of the Meriden team up to the plate in each inning. In the sixth Meriden scored her only run. Burke, the first man up, hit safely. Altizer forced him at second and then Altizer stole a base He took third on passed ball and came home on Drew's hit to McAn- drews. The latter might have nipped Altizer at the plate but he was coached to do differently. Mbriden never had look in at the game after that inning.
 Waterbury was playing to win and 1n the very first inning completed a fast double play which made the fans enthuse like the old days when Meri- den and Waterbury would meet. Burke had been retired on a foul to the catcher when Altizer hit safely. He went around to third on Drew's two sacker to left. The next man up was Tucker and he drew a base on balls, filling the bases. Joe Theisen stepped up and things looked dubious, for but one man was out. Joe ham, mered the ball hard to Captain Peter Kiernan and the latter tossed it quick ly to Sullivan at second and the latter shot it with the speed of an arrow to first and the double play was com- pleted.
 Waterbury started scoring in the third inning. Sullivan, the first man up, smashed out pretty single and then came the most peculiar play Of the whole game. Charley Clancy picked one on the end of the bat and 1t sailed slowly over first base. Sulli- van kept going around the bases and Clancy was just stopping on first when he saw that the right fielder had not found the ball and he, too, started to make the circuit. He did it nicely and was sitting on the bench credited with home run when Tom Tucker discovered the ball tucked away under a tuft of grass. That rattled the Meridens for the next man up, Kiernan, rapped out a single, was advanced on a sacrifice by Croughan and scored on J. Walsh's error. Two : more came to us in the fourth on a : base on balls to McAndrews and err TOT by the pitcher and another one by Tucker and a single by Sullivan. Our last run came in the sixth on 8 double s by Sullivan and double by Kiernan, sending the Naugatuck boy home. The score and summary:

The Big Lord Derby and Boralma Race
 To-Day.

To-Day.
 At Charter Oak park, Hartford, this afternoon, E. E. Smather's Lord Derby, 2:O615, and Thomas w. Law sons BoraIma, POT, will meet in a match race, best three heats out of five for side bet of $40,000 and 60 per cent of the gross receipts. This will be the fifth time these great trotters have contested for supremacy, and as matters now stand both horses have won two victories. In tO-days strug gle Ed Geers will be in the sulky be- hind Lord Derby, while Tom Marsh will hold the ribbons over BoraIma. The final installments of the bet-$1O, GOO each-were posted in Hartford yesterday Both horses are said to be in fine condition for the race, and whoever loses there will be no ex- cuses to make. Lord Derby has shown great speed this season, and it is the belief of all who have watched him in his trials that he will hang up new mark for himself. Boralma does not lack supporters, notwith- standing the fact that the last time he met Lord Derby he was beaten in straight heats Jack Roche, MT Law sons adviser said yesterday that Bo- falma has more speed now than ever, and that although he expects to see all the heats closely contested he fully believes Boralma will be able to place a streak of daylight between himself and the Smathers horse at the wire.
 Columbus, August 2.-The alleged jobbing which has been going on since the first day of the Columbus Grand Circuit meeting, was brought to sudden termination yesterday by the suspension of Driver Stuard and the horse Elderone for one year and the fining of Scott Hudson $100 for failing to drive to win. The trouble occurred in the $5,00O stake for 2:20 pacers. Elderone won the second heat in 2:051l, but in the third heat finished a bad second in 2:10A. The judges took Stuard down, when the horses were called for the fourth heat and put up Valentine, who succeeded in winning the fourth heat in driv- ing finish in 2:06M. This was suffi- cient to cause Stuard trouble, but this was aggravated in the fifth heat, when Elderone broke so badly that he was distanced. When he reached the JuQgeS stand IL was IOuuu LudI HIS hopples had been cut almost in two, so that as soon as he started to pace fast they broke clear off. The judges then placed the horse fourth, declared all pools off on this race, and took the additional action referred to above. They allowed Driver Valentine $200 for driving Elderone after Stuard was set down.
 To-day The Abbott meets The Monk at Cleveland in a mile dash to wagon with Harry K. Devereaux behind him. MT Gerken will drive The Monk and the race record of 2:10 will be beaten if the weather is fine, although it is not definitely known in this city as to whether it twill be an amateur contest or otherwise The Monk has an excellent chance as he is at edge and reliable wagon performer. To date The Abbot's fastest work out re- ported, was repeat in 2:O9A at De- troit Dan Patclrstarts at Columbus to beat 2:01A, Joe Patchen's record, and it is expected he will pace his mile in 2:O21a, 2:O2M or 2:03. It is simply paid-for exhibition mile.
