SAND FILTER PLANT.
Which the Water Company Will Install
 at Lake Whitney.

Which the Water Company Will Install
 at Lake Whitney.
 The sand filter plant which the New Haven Water company is to install at Lake Whitney will cover about ten acres of ground and it's cost is estimat- ed at S50O,0OO It will require a year and half to build the plant,
 The plans are being made by Georgc w. Fuller, an expert engineer of New York and A. E. Hill, the company's engineer in this city, This system it is claimed, will eliminate 9S to 99 per cent. of the bacteria This would prove of very great value in any time when typhoid fever germs were in solution in the water
 The site of the proposed plant is just Whitney avenue. It is intended to fill in the area to a depth of five to six feet and build on this q concrete foundation as a base for the filter beds The plant will be roofed over to prevent freezing of the water in winter.
 The slow sand system to be adopted is the same that is now in use at All bany and Philadelphia, and a similar plant to be built in Providence.
 The capacity of these filters is esti- mated at 5,000. 900 gallons each twenty- four hours and the plant can be ex- tended so that the output would be full ly double that amount.

Rare Treasures Bay of Panama Yielded

 When the stranger arrives at Seville and Toledo and the guides conduct him to the cathedrals of those old cities, he is struck with their magni- ficence and the abundance of the pearls which are their finest decorations. These pearls came from the Bay of Panama, at the zenith of their glory, made the conquest of America These Panama pearls rival the most beautiful pearls of the Orient Quite recently, in the spring of 1899, lad of 15 years found an oyster containing a pearl which was sold at Paris for 50,000 francs. For his portion he received 20, GOO francs
 A considerable quantity of pearls pro cured at Panama are sent to New York where they do not lack purchasers. One consignment exceeded in value 750,000 francs. The island pearls are thus

YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
NEW HAVEN TEAM WON FROM
 NEW LONDON.
Lufkin, Former Wesleyan University Man, Pitched Three Balls in Eighth Inning, Retiring she Side-Wfison
 Played Very Poorly for Visitors- Mclaughlin Was Wiid-Other Games.

New Haven won the game with New Haven on the Savin Rock diamond yes terday afternoon. The weather was cold and the audience small. The play ing was marred by errors, many of them being very costly. This was par ticularly true of the errors made by the visitors. The game began with snap. Lufkin shutting out the Whalers without any difficulty. Mclaughlin for the New London team was wild at the outset and this gave the home team a chance to reach first base. No runs were scored in this inning. The Blues started the ball rolling in the second. Ramon hit for a base. Brown smashed out two-b -bagger and Ramon crossed the plate Fitzmaurice was given base on balls. Anklam made clean hit Fitzmaurice was caught on third and Braun and Anklam scored on wild pitch by Mclaughlin, In the sec ond, two more runs were scored. T, O'Brien singled. Locke was given his base and Short struck out. Locke was caught at the plate. Braun smashed out another two bagger, O Brien SCOT ing. Braun came in moment later, after the catch of long fly in right field.
 One of the features of the game was the scoring of three runs by the New Haven team in the fifth without making a hit. Three bases on balls by Me Laughlin combined with three errors by the visitors made this scoring poss- ible. Another feature of the contest was the work of Lufkin, who retired the New London team in the eighth inning by pitching only three balls. The visi- tors popped up little fly hits, each bat ter striking the frs tball pitched to him.
 For New London. Mclaughlin made two hits, one of which was a triple. His pitching was cratic. Wilson, on second, played very poor game, mak- ing five errors, each one being costly. Harry Moves struck the bali each time he came to bat, but made only one safe hit Long lined out double in the seventh but could not score. In the ninth inning Lufkin slowed up and al- lowed the visitors to hit the ball. Two runs were scored and then the former Wesleyan man setteld down again and the side was retired. The summary of the game is appended

After all the personal experience of one man is worth more than the theo- retical guesses of a thousand men. MT. Jenkins knows what he is talking about when he recommends Peruna, because he has tried it. Peruna cures catarrh because it reaches the source of catarrh.
 Peruna cleanses the blood of its inn purities because itregulates those organs that make blood.
 Peruna keeps the system in a fine, healthy condition, because it restores the functions of every organ, and brings vigor to the organic nervous system. MT. Jenkins is right. Peruna is care
