HAVE NO PERMANENT HOME.
Americans Change Their Habftations Oftener Than Any Other
 Civilized People.

Americans seem to be naturally a migratory people. At least such would be the conclusion after a study of recent census statistics, which reveal some remarkably inter esting facts and among them the one that we are the greatest nation of rolling stones on the earth, but, not withstanding that fact, we succeed in gathering the moss of material prosperity.
 The official figures show that out of a native born population of 65,- 843, 1902 there are 13,S63,651 living in states different from those in which they were born-that is, more than one person out of five has left the state of his birth to seek his fortune elsewhere.
 If we count the 1o,46O,7s6 foreign born residents we find that about one-third of the population has moved from the state or country of birth. These figures show our mo- bility to be in the ratio of ten to one, as compared with that of Eu- rope.
 The state of New York has sent out 1,30o,000 of her children who are now resident in other states, and has received from other states in their stead 531,000 residents. Vermont has a most remarkable record, which shows that she has children living in other states equal in number to one-half of her present population.

HE TOOK THE PERsIMMoN.
setting His Wealthy Opponents Campaign Badges.

When Senator Simmons was caA didate for senator down in North Carolina his principal opponent was a millionaire, who flooded the state with handsome buttons bearing his picture. The appearance of the but tons everywhere rather annoyed MT. Simmons, says the Washington Post, who felt that he must do something to counteract this evidence of popu- larity. He had no money to throw away on buttons and for while he was in a quandary. Then an inspira- tion came to him. He decided that he would take. persimmon for his emblem.
 Persimmons are as numerous in North Carolina as sands upon the seashore. In the fall of the year, when the election was held, they were round and hard, and fastened quite securely to their short stems. It did not take long for the follow CTS of MT. Simmons to learn that they could not please him better than by wearing persimmon, and so the button was soon cast into the shade.
 s'We are all simmons men," said the wearers of the fruit, and the phrase, combining a pun on the per- simmon with loyalty to the popular candidate, was so effective that it materially helped MT. Simmons to win in his race for the senate.

AT pOLLY'S COMMAND.
Lady Caller Drops BeaufffuI vase and the Parrot Enjoys the
 Consequences.

A story is going the rounds wherein figure two well-known Columbus la dies and parrot. Mrs. A. paid a special call at the home of Mrs. B. the other day and was ushered into the living-room by the maid of all work to await the appearance of Mrs. B., relates the Columbus (O.) Journal.
 Mrs. B. had come into possession of parrot only short time before, and had been keeping the bird in the living room. Polly has very good command of English, and appears to know when to use it. Mrs. A. sat down with her back to the bird without noticing it, and as Polly made no sound she re- mained in ignorance of it's presence.
 Observing a beautiful vase on the mantel, Mrs. A. arose from her Seat and, crossing the floor, took down the dainty piece of bric-a-brac to examine it. She gazed on it rapturously, com pletely absorbed by its elegant decora- tions, when suddenly from just behind her came the shrill. and stern com mand:
 Drop itl Drop itl"
 Mrs. A. obeyed, and turned with a scream to face the i1nperturbable gaze of Polly, who sat tn her cage with her green head slyly perked to one side On the floor lay the beautiful vase, smashed to bits. At this most em- barrassing moment Mrs. B. entered the room. Before Mrs. A. could ex- plain the situation Polly shook out her feathers and remarked:
 "You're itl You're it!"

 It was strongly rumored last even- ling that the local team is divided into cliques and that they will obey neith- CT the manager nor the captaiIls From what James H. O'Rourke said yesterday about that forfeited game of New Haven, it seems likely that he will be on Jimmy Canayan'ss side when it comes to vote on it. His claim is that the umpire should have fined Bannon before putting him out of the game, in order to have the for felt stand. Perhaps this is the cor rect way to look at it, but it will be pretty poor business for the secretary of this league to uphold rowdy ball playing on technicality.
 One of the greatest surprises that took place on the ball field yesterday occurred in the game between Boston and St Louis. It was not the fact that Frank Donahue allowed Boston but four hits, but it was the fact that Frank Donahue slammed out a three base hit. It is said that the manager of the St Louis team was carried off the field in faint. Frank himself bowed his acknowledgment to the pop ulace who went wild over this wonder of the century. That will hold the auburn haired twirler for q while.

TO AVOID JURY SERVICE.
FIimsy Pretexts Resorted To by Ta1esmen to Escape Doing
 Their Duty.

Jury service is. one of the most troublesome duties of the busy citi- zen, and men who happen to be drawn often try to be excused on some of the many easy pretexts. MT. J. A. Willard, the veteran clerk of courts of Boston, in his Fifty Years with Judges and Lawyers recalls several pointed retorts of judges in the Mas sachusetts superior court to jurors who tried to escape the service, relates Youths Companion.
 One man who had been summoned as a juror, said to Judge Lord: 'If you keep me here, you will stop 800 men from work"
 'sWhat is your business?''
 1T am contractor for driving piles, and am driving them in different parts of the city"
 s'Well, sir" said Judge Lord, "sup- pose you had pile-driving case against you in this court, and should summon 12 loafers to try your case, how should you like it?"
 The man took his seat.
 Another juryman pleaded: "If am kept here my employer will discharge me-"
 Eff you have an employer" replied Judge Lord, 'who threatens to dis charge you because you comply with the law, you ought to be thankful you are rid of such an employer. Send him here, and let us see if he will say that to me"
 A professor asked Judge Putnam to excuse him, as he was an ssofficer in college" and the statute exempts peo- pie who come under that description.
 "Ah, let us sec" said Judge Putnam. CT should like to hold you; you are the people who shirk your duty"
 ''I don't wish to shirk my duty, but have my duty toward the college and my pupils"
 'No harder for you than for pea nut vender."

BASE BALL NEVIS
Waterbury Defeated in a Hard
 Fought Game.


 Failure to Hit When a Hit Was Need
 ed Was the Same Old Reason Given
 For Our Loss-Lack of Team Play
 Was Noticeable and Many Rumors
 Are Rife-Cliques Reported in the
 Local Team and Lack of Authority
 Also Suggested Results nf Other Games.
 A hard luck game is what some of the people called it yesterday, but there were others who said that the team can play good base ball individually, but not as a team. It is the same old story with those hard luck games, too, for just when a hit was needed our players fell down. Lindemann made a three-base hit in the last inning and We needed just one run to tie the score, but the next two men could do nothing with the ball further than batting lt to the infield. and the last one of the two, Robinson, sent it into Dougherty's s hands at second base and Lindemann was doubled at third. True, there was a bit of hard luck in that, but long fly at that time would have tied the score and that would have been some satisfaction if we did lose in the next inning.
 It was a nip and tuck battle from first to last and each pitcher was work ing hard for the game. Clancy pitched good ball, but Phil Corcoran did just q little better, although there was one more hit made off his delivery than there was off Clancy. It was a mixed up team that Waterbury presented. for Slater was absent and so was Weis- becker. Luskey was on first base and Camp of the Washington Hills was in the left garden. Camp allowed the first run for Bridgeport by dropping a fly from the bat of Rogers. Then base on balls, a sacrifice and a single sent the Rogers chap over the plate. Wa terbury tied the score in her half when kfernan got his base on balls and on 1.-two infield outs he crossed the plate. There was no more scoring until the sixth, when Bridgeport got another on Camps drop of Rogers's fly and Kier- mans drop of Ladd's fly to short left. We tied them in the seventh on a base on balls and Camps timely hit to right. In the eighth Bridgeport went to the front again on two singles and a sacrf- flee and we tied her i'll our half on two singles and a steal. In the ninth Bridgeport again passed us with an er- TOT of Robinson and two singles. We failed in our half because our batters could not seIfd man nome from third, although none was out when Linde- mann took that bag on his three-bag- ger. The score and summary:

NOT A GREAT ATHLETE.
The Greek Who is Heralded as Won
 der in His Country.

N. Georgantas, a Greek athlete, is credited with throwing the discus the splendid distance of 123 feet 9 inches, according to the latest batch of Eu- ropean sporting exchanges. The same athlete propelled shot, it is said, weighing thirteen pounds nine ounces, distance of sixty-two feet six inches, and these performances are considered exceptional for a countryman of Milo and Phay1lus. The Greeks are respon- sible for the sport of throwing the dis GUS, but atfhe game they are yet be- hind the American record, which is lA5 fet inches There is no American record at the particular weight of shot, the nearest being the put of S. R. Grey of 51 feet 51a inches with q fourteen pound shot at Traysss Islanf in 1892.

The former champion has agreed to meet the winner of the six round bout between Jack Root of Chicago and Kid Garter of Brooklyn, which is to be decided at Philadelphia on June 13. Corbett told Matchmaker Mccarthy of the Penn Art Athletic club, under whose auspices Root and Carter are to fight, to make match for him with the winner as soon as possible. Both Root and Carter have agreed to meet Corbett in case they win. It is ex- pected the bout will be fought about June 27. e
