MRS. PETER STIRLING

The death of Mrs. Peter Stirling, which occurred at 10:45 o'clock Saturday night, has cast a gloom over the entire Scotch community of New Haven. Mrs. Stir ling had been sick for a number of years, but 1t was only last January that her malady took a serious form and notwithstanding all that medical skill, science and attention of dearly beloved friends could do, she succumbed to her sickness.

Mir and Mrs. Stirling were the oldest and best known among the older Scottish resi- dents of New Haven, and the old &C., quaintances of over quarter of cen- tury unite in their heartfelt sympathy for MT. Stirling in this hour of afflic- ton. MT. Stirling is we'll known mem Der of Worcester lodge, F. and A. M, City lodge of odd Fellows, and the New Haven Caledonian club, and is one of the oldest and best known Scottish res idents of New Haven. The funeral will be held from her late residence Tuesday afternoon at 3 p. m.

fixed to keep the crowd away from a
section of weak ice near the north goal
The Perseverance boys had trained
hard for this game. and felt that they de-
served to win. The general impression
was one of pluck and Perseverance. -
They lined up in this order: Gladwin,
goal: Barry, point; O'Brien, cover point;
Ticknor (captain). centre; Stratford. for
ward; Sayles, left wing and Higgins,
right wing.
Two goal umpires and a referee were
selected as well as two timekeepers, and
the game began. On the face-off the
puck shot into Perseverance territory.
Rex got the rubber in his club and went
tearing down the field, eluding the oppos-

ball into goal. Score: Rangers, /; Per-

less passing by the forwards brought the
puck so close to the goal that Jack Hig-
gins had no difficulty in sliding it between
the posts.
The score was now 80, and the crowd
cheered enthusiastically. In the excitement
several of TIE onlookers ventured on the
weak ice near the north goal which the
Rangers were defending. Rex Ticknor got
the puck out Of a scrimmage, and was
rushing with it for the goal, when the
thin ice at the side gave way and a little
girl about ten years old went through,
disappearing in the deep water beneath
Rex turned instantly and raced for the
break in the ice. The girl came to the
surface and clutched the jagged edge of
the break. Rex dropped fat on his face
about three feet away, and stretched out
his stick to the girl. shouting to her to
catch it. She took hold of the stick and
climbed out on the ice, which at first

while Rex was lionized for his courage and
presence of mind. He laughed his admirers
aside and went back to the game as if he
had done nothing at all.
In the last minute of play Bill STRAIT
tord got the disk near the centre. At
signal from Captain Rex the wings ar
rdyed themselves, one on either side. and
the three tore down the ice at lightning
speed, with Rex following closely in the
rear. The formidable qrartette took the
Rangers by storm. and soon only the goal
tender was to be passed. At this point
the real value of the triangular forma-

before he could take the puck Rex had
rushed forward and caught ii in his stick.

Why CannibalS Eat Men.

tribes, of whom all treated him very
kindly. Now that Mr.. Stanley no longer
travels in the dark wilds OF Africa, there
are other men who do go. and sometimes
meets just as strange things as did Mr..
Stanley.

Woelfell. which recently went into the
same country, the dense forests back of
Ivory Coast. in West Africa, found num-

had been admired generally, and Charley's
hat was well filed. The sum collected

In the meantime Captain Rex was en-

there had been too much individual play
ing. too much "grandstand" work, and he
told them that team work was necessary
if Perseverance was to win.
The playing in the second half was fast
