The Lewiston Journal has been doing some Interviewing in regard to next season in the polo world. It finds the following: ''The Journal in- terviewed Manager McGilvray of the Lewiston polo club this morning, relative to Manager Parsons's state ment that the Lewiston team would be transferred to Providence another season, and learned the following: Parsons spoke to me about that ar engagement the last time saw him and told him should not be willing to do it. l shall keep the Lewiston team in the American Polo league until it is voted out at regularly organized league meeting. When they do that will see what can be done. I shall fight them, though, when they try to do that will you organize Maine league if Lewiston and Portland are thrown out of the American at the close of this season?' I can't say as to that. After we are thrown down will decide Parsons has completed his plans for the league another year. He will practically own the league, having three teams in it. A prominent manager of one of tn eleague teams told the Journal that he did not think such plan would ever be a success, as it would be too much of polo monopoly. People who attend D0lo do not look kindly upon a monopoly McGilvray does not want to 20 to Providence for a season, as it will take him so far away from his busi- ness. He had rather be where he can get down to Bath once in a ,while.D

WITH THE PoLoIsTs.
How and Where Polo Was First
 Played.


 It may be of interest to some of the local polo enthusiasts and some of the other cities on the circuit to learn that in all probability roller polo was played for the first time in this country right here in Salem. Away back in 1881 the old siege of Paris building was brought to the Willows and made into a skating rink. Roller skating was a novelty and indulged in by quite large crowd of people. Among the number was a party of young fellows who conceived the idea of playing hockey on roller skates. They were members of the old Somerset Social club, con- posed of some of the first families in town, and on Thanksgiving day they hired the rink, bought up a stock of crooked headed canes from Neal & Newhall's haberdashery establishment [ nd hied themselves to the rink to have some fun and get up an appetite for dinner Salem News.

 Baltimore, Feb 21.-Casper Leon gained the decision over Alexander Dunsheath before the Eureka A. c. n a twenty-round contest last night. For fifteen rounds Dunsheath had all the better of it. He assumed the aggres- sive from the start and did nearly all the fighting. With a left-hand hook he split Leon's eye in the first round Leon did not commence fighting until the sixteenth round, and then did some forcing which turned the tide in his favor. In the twentieth round he landed repeatedly his right and left on Dunsheaths face. Dunsheath rushed continually, endeavoring to land q knockout blow, but Leon was too clever for him.
 Buffalo. Feb 21.-kid Mcfarland of New 1ork sent the following challenge to Frank Erne yesterday: q hereby challenge you to box me twenty or twenty-five rounds for the lightweight championship of the world and a side bet of S2,500, the contest to take place before the club offering the best in- ducement for the, bout The weight to be 133 pounds at 8 o'clock or 135 pounds ringside" When seen yester- day said he would not consider Me, Partland's challenge until he received definite reply from his challenge 10 Joe Cans.

 Manager Conner says there is abso- lutely no truth in the reports that he has been cutting salaries. He says he is paying all the men more than they received last season, and he can not pay them more than the stated State league limit, although several seem to expect this. Berry, Eddy and Francis have all been holding out for more money and Manager Connor has not yet come to terms with them. Springfield Union.
 Baseball fans here who devote q portion of each day to an analysis of the State league are all oyer the opin- ion that the lobster" aggregation will hail from Bridgeport and that be- fore the season is half over that club will be existing on the gate receipts of other cites in the circuit. Funny how cheaply the sporting calibre of Bridgeport is held hereabouts. and no wonder.-Hartford Post. This is republished to show, as usual, Hart ford's judgment is about on a par with that of the chap who sells rough diamonds at broken glass rates.-- Bridgeport Post.
 After leaving this city Manager Connor will go to Bridgeport, where he will have a conference with Sec retary O'Rourke in relation tn calling another meeting of the league. 1t will be necessary to draw up the schedule soon. as several of the parks where baseball is played are used for other purposes, aNd thus it is neces- sary for the managers to know their dates in good season. Manager Con- nor understood Hampden park had

ROMANCE OF ITALY.
Story of Love and Revenge Brought
Out in a Trial at Milan.

Milan Correspondence London Telegraph.
A painful but very dramatic story has
Just been unfolded at trial for attempted
murder which was brought to a conclusion
recently 1t will be remembered that in
May last a lady well known in Italian So
ciety, Marchioness Ricci, who is the daugh-
ter of a court official, fired on her rival in
love, wounding her badly. The marchioness
was driving through the streets Of Voghera
when, perceiving Signora Chiostergi, the
rival in question, she stopped the cab and
emptied three chambers Of her revolver at
her. The wounds of the signora were seri-
Gus, but fortunately not fatal. While try
ing to effect her escape the marchioness
was arrested and was charged with at
tempted murder.
About a week ago the trial began at the
assize court and excited unusual interest
on account Of the touching drama of man s
infidelity and woman's love which was
there revealed. Some twenty years ago the
prisoner was married to a very rich gentle
man, the Marquis Dallarosa, with whom
she had fallen passionately in love. From
one cause or another the marriage did not
prove to be a very happy one. Financial
recklesSnesS on the part of the marquis is
alleged to have been one of the chief rea-
sons for disunion. Ruin, however, was
averted by the wife, who devoted her whole
fortune to assisting her husband, besides
obtaining help from different members of
her family.
All these sacrifices were. however. to no
purpose, and when her dowry was squan-
dered the poor woman is said to have suf-
fered deep sorrows and deprivations. Then
the marquis became entangled in an in
trigue with Signora Chiostergi, and, aban-
doning himself TO his infatuation he ex-
PEELED his wife from her home.
This, as it appears, happened twelve years
ago Night after night, it is said the mar
chioness stayed before the door of her for
mer home, entreating and weeping, in the
vain hope Of regainfng her husbands love
Then, finding that all her efforts were fruit
less, she retired to the cloister, but even
in the exercises of piety she was unable
to forget the man to whom she had given
her heart and who had so cruelty Spurned
the gift.
Echoes of politics penetrate even to mo-
nastic solitudes, and the unhappy woman
heard with dismay the news that the Ital-
ian government was about to bring for
ward divorce bill. Fearing that her rival
might eventually be enabled to supplant
of anger and issued forth from her retreat t
with the object Of killing the woman who
had gained her husbands affection The
result is stated above
This is the sad story which was related
at the trial. which lasted four days. 1t evil
IDENTIFY touched the jury, for they unani-
mously acquitted the marchioness, who was
Immediately set at liberty. On hearing the
verdict the lady tainted. She was after
enormous crowd, who eagerly demonstrated
their sympathy, cheering her, endeavorns
to kiss her dress, and waving handker-
chiefs at the carriage window.

He Didn't Believe It.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The typical Englishman's slowness TO
grasp the point Of joke is aumatter of
record and a constant source Of delight to
the American 'jollier" A striking inustra-
ton Of this was overheard on a Willow
Grove trolley car on Sunday afternoon.
Two young men were seated together In
the forward end of the car, and one by his
accent and his all of guileless innocence,
proclaimed mis- British nationality. The
other was an American of the genus kidder
The latter was dilating upon the ferocious-
ness Of the Jersey mosquito, and, after re-
lating several very tall yarns, wound up
with this one:
Last summer I was coming across the
meadows this side Of Atlantic City on my
wheel when my attention was attracted by
the sound of a COW bell. It was such a
strange, unusual sound that l dismountcd
to investigate. and soon encountered huge
mosquito. 1t had eaten the COW and was
ringing the bell to attract the calf, that he
might devour that also"
The Englishman listened to this story
very gravely. and without even cracking a
smile. replied:
"Oh. say. old chap. you cawn't expect
me to believe that, don't you know?"

TOO HARD A PACE,
Injudicious Choice of Tasks Set for
Children.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Parents who want to train up a child In
the way he should go should not set too
hard pace for the youngster or send him
over too long a course. There is such a
thing as being too good, as people who
manage reform campaigns know, and there
Is such thing pushing a boy too far
toward what his seniors accept as good
There is one man in this borough who had
to read the whole Schiller because his
father regarded that course as a liberal
education. No doubt it had it's value, yet
the same man was around the other day
inquiring the plot of Schiller's Robbers"
SO the ideas obtained in that study did not
stick very tight
Another person Of middle age in Brook
lyn was paid to read Plutarchs "Lives'
when he was nine or ten years old in the
belief that it would wean him from fairy
stories and tales of adventure. 1t kept
him pretty busy for some days, but it was
money hard earned and for years he could
not recover from his repugnance for clas-
sical names The Greek and Roman heroes
were not half real to him as Indians
were, and he never could think that Romu-
lus was half SO big man George Wash
ington. The trouble here was that a course
of reading was prescribed too soon. Half
dozen years later the bribe to read the
Lives might hardly have been needed
And it's question If some Of the moral
precocties exacted of youngsters are not
almost as hindering to a sound moral de-
velopment in the future as are these ur,s-
ings to acquire a university tone of mind
at ten.
There is another man in this borough who
had pous aunt who when he was eleven
years old gave him dollar for reading the
Bible through. He earned the dollar, but
has never read the Bible since and event.
ually drifted into journalism. There NAV
be cause and effect here.
