have a decided bearing on his success

have decided bearing on his success
with mis- new charges.
When Bobby Lowe, the old-time Bos-
ton intelder, was first signed last win
ter, it was rumored that he would be
made captain, and it is believed that this
is the move still favored by Selee.
Lowe has worked under Selee for eight
years and is thoroughly acquainted with
the latter's methods Moreover, he is
an acknowledged star and of great ex-
perience in the game. By many it is be-
lieved that Lowe was signed with the
understanding that he should get the cap
taincy, and it is certainly no more than
natural that Selee should prefer him.
Dexter, by his faithful work as utility
man last season, certainly deserves rec
ognition by the West side management.
He played nearly every position on the
team, and even ''subbed" for the captain
cy in the absence of Jack Doyle. In ev-
cry place Dexter showed to Advantage,
and ne was a decided factor in large
share of the few games won by the rem
nants.
In spite Of this service. however, he is
lacking in the experience of Lowe and
is absolutely unacquainted with Selee' s
methods of management. While invalu-
able as utility man, too. some follow
ers of the game believe that as a reg
ular third baseman Dexter may find
trouble in beating out Joe Tinker, while
Loves position at either short or second
is a certainty.

Spanish Bell Dug Up
on New Jersey Estate

One of the rarest curios in this city
is an old Spanish bell which is in the
ossession of Maurice II. Stratemeyer,
a well known dealer in musical instru-
ments, at 81 Broad street. this city,
says the Newark News. The bell was
dug up few years ago on the estate
of Gov. Carteret, New Jerseys first
colonial executive, whose home was
on Pearl street, this city. The relic
was unearthed about six feet under
ground by some workmen who were
excavating for building. 1t was
thickly covered win rust, and the
finder did not realize at the time the
value of his discovery He took It
home, however, and MIR. Stratemeyer,
who is something of an antiquarian,
learned only some months ago of its
existence, and took steps to get pos.
session of the ancient bell, which is
one Of the oldest, if not the oldest, in
the United States.
1t is made of old bronze, said to be
worth 81 a pound. The bell is 1914
inches high, IL inches in diameter at
it's base and weighs 35 pounds. 1t is
minus the clapper. The part by
which it hangs is shaped like a crown,
while on its side is raised decoration
resembling a fleur de lis. Around the
base is the following inscription:
The suburban citizen., 1902-10-25

By making an analysis Of the medlan
age of the population, that is, an age
that shows one.half of the population
above it and the other half below it,
which is considered a more reliable
test than the average age, the Census
Bureau has reached the conclusion that
the length of life in this country is in
crcasing. In 1890 the median age in
the United States was 21.0; in 1900,
22.S years. Since 1910 the median age
has increased among the white popu-
lation IA years. This lengthening Of
human life is undoubtedly due to i'm.
proved dietary and sanitary conditions,
not only in the great cities, but also in
suburban communities.

"Soiderancicodartiaga." This puzzled
not only Mr.. Stratemeyer, but several
learned antiguarians who dropped into
his place to inspect the relic, and
none of whom could translate the in.
scription. It remained for some MeXi'
can officers who are connected with
the commission now supervising the
construction of two gun boats for the
republic at Lewis Nixon's shipyard to
tell what it meant.
They said that the inscription was
Soy de, Rancisco Dartiaga," mean
ing 81 am Of Cor was made by) Fran
cisco Dartiaga"
They all agreed the bell was of for
eign make and was over 400 years
old. How much more they would not
venture to guess.
1t is more than probable that the
relic was brought into this country on
one of Cartaret's ships. The Eliza
beth river then a wide and navigable
stream for nearly a mile beyond where
the bell was found, flowed alongside
the Cartaret estate, while Paradise
Farm" the ancient homestead of the
Hetfeld family, adjoins the spot
where it was discovered.
