HITCHCOCK OF YALE WINS.
Carries off Individual Intercollegiate
 Honors at Garden City.

Carries off Individual Intercollegiate
 Honors at Garden City,
 Charles Hitchcock, Jr., captain of the Yale golf team, won the individual in tercollegiate honors last Saturday af- ternoon by securing an easy victory over H. B. Mcfarland, University Of Pennsylvania freshman. The Yale man was II up and 10 to play. Hitchcock is junior, and has twice won his col lege championships as well as several outside events.
 In the 36-hole final match Hitchcock led Mcfarland steadily, standing up at the turn of the morning play and 10 up at the end of IS holes. Several times the Yale man drove wild, but re- covered so skilfully on his second shot that Mcfarland could derive no advan- tage.
 This victory leaves Yale at the head of the Intercollegiate Golf league with her team winner over those of liar yard, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Co., lumbia and its captain the individual champion.

THE COST OF OPENING WINE.

An application by George A. Kessler x Co.,, champagne merchants, for an in- junction restraining Emanuel s. Chap belle a salesman of that corporation, from leaving it's employ and accepting a similar position with Fred de Barry & Co. agents for another brand of wine, was made to Justice OGorman in the supreme court to-day.
 The plaintiff company claims that Chappele was engaged as sales agent in 1899 In his contract he was permit ted to spend $100OO the first year and $20 GOO the second year in introducing the company's wine. Then, Mr. K ossler says in an affidavit, Chappelle proceed ed to spend $40,000 year fin making popular his particular brand among society people, To be a skillful wine agent Kessler alleges, it requires spe- cial knowledge, skill training and ex- perience, which Chappelle has acquired since he was employed by him. Be- sides, he says, the defendant possesses genial and ingratiating personality, which enables him to inducs the con- sumer of champagne wines to partake thereof in his company and society, and
 
 Kessler says Chappele agreed to ac- cept $400 a month and unlimited ex- penses, and also took 25 shares of $100 each in the corporation which replaced Kessler as a firm, and that his going to the rival concern is direct violation of this agreement.
 Chappele In his answer admits he entered into the contract relied on by the plaintiff. but says the contract was not for any specified time. He says that he left because certain irreconcil- able differences and disagreements arose between him and the plaintiff, by reason of which he could no longer con- tinue in the employ of the corporation. Chappelle declares that he discharged his duties while in Kessler's employ in a conscientious, painstaking and skill ful manner" In his answer Chappelle

MANY HOLIDAYS IN CUBA.
They Troubled Foreign Investor WI

They Troubled Foreign Investor Who Didn't Know the Game "I never did find out exactly how imany legal holidays they have in Cuba" said an American who had once run a sugar plantation over there, but was green enough in the beginning to figure them out at eight or ten, knew they had three or four more than in this country and didn't take the extra ones into account when signing con- tracts.
 II had to sign contracts with my fore men, engineers, firemen and so on, to the number of 20 and it was by the month with all legal holidays thrown in. We had been cutting cane and boiling sugar three or four days when went down to the sugar house one morning to find all the hands idle.
 What does this mean?' I asked of the native manager, who was strolling about.
 It's saints day and al egal holi day, senor,' he answered.
 But we can't stop business for saint I protested
 The contract, senor-the contract
 "The whole gang wasted the whole day doing nothing" said the planter, but went to work again next day. At the end of three days the calendar brought around another saint and busi- ness was shut down again for A hours When they had played 1t on me for the third time in fortnight I went to the alcalde of the village and said:
 Look here, now, but how many holidays do you have in this country?
 CT have never counted them up senor,' he replied, but I believe there are about 200.
 And are my bands obliged to keep them all?'
 Not all, senor I should say that if they kept 150 of the saints days the other could go by.
 And must lose third of the time and pay for all of it?'
 "Si. senor. A contract Is contract Surely you would not wish your labor CTS to lose their souls?
 "fhey had me tight, and as a conse- quence I made only half a crop, and came out loser by sl5,o0o at the end of the year.
 Tt was not until had sold the busi- ness in disgust that I learned what fool had made of myself. I had signed contracts. as I have said but if I had greased that alcalde's palm with $25 in gold he's have seen me through"
 "In what way?" was asked.
 "Why, he'd have scratched all but two or three saints off the list and I'll g 'em in on somebody else. and my hands wouldn't have had more than one cele- bration month. I was ass enough not to tumble to it, and he was too modest to offer his services sv-Detro,t Free Press.

DIAMONDS AND GOALS.

Here is diamond here is a piece of charcoal. Both carbon; yet between them stands the mightiest of magicians Mature. The food on your table, and your own body; elementally the same; yet between the two stands the diges- tion, the arbiter of growth or decline, life or death. We cannot make dia- mond; we cannot make flesh, blood and bone. No. But by means of Mother SeigeTs Curative Syrup we can enable the stomach to digest food which would otherwise ferment and poison the sys- tenn. In all forms of dyspepsia and incipient consumption, with weakness, loss of flesh thin blood, nervous pro- stration, Mother Segel's Cura tive Syrup is the successful remedy. Taken with food it relieves at once. It nourishes and assists nature to nourish. Any druggist can supply it. Read what your neighbors say:
 Having suffered many years from indigestion and stomach trouble, I was induced thirteen years ago to take Mother Seigel's Cura tive Syrup and was so much benefited that I have never been without it in my family since. My sister used it in England for ten years before that time" J, H. G. Durant, New Haven, Conn.,, April 1S 1902
 Was visiting in England five years ago and my system was run down. Had miserable tired, worn-out feeling all the time. My friends told me of the wonderful curative powers of Seigel's Syrup and advised me to try it. Took four bottles and felt better than I had for years. Would highly rec mmend it to any one feeling as I did I think Mother Seigel's Syrup a splendid medi- cine" Mrs w. Granger, Dixwell Ave, New Haven Conn, April 8, 1902

Y. M. c. A. BOYS DEPARTMENT

 Island.

Proposed Working Boys Camp at Tuxis
 Island.
 The boys department of the Young Mems Christian association affords son of the year. In the first place, the prospect of taking fifty working boys to camp No. on Tuxis island is assum- ing definite proportions. The associa- ton has sent personal letters to few of the charitaby inclined people of the city in order to call their personal at tention towards certain features of this working boys camp. A large extra edi- ton of the young men of New Haven has been entirely devoted to camp mat ters and interested persons can secure copies of this interesting publication on application at the association rooms It has been impossible to reach every body by means of personal appeals for this camp fun but aleady fourteen in dividuals have subscribed $6S. 75 which has been depisted with the treasurer H. H. Taylor. This will provide for the first ten boys for ten full days and for one boy for half that time. The subscribed have ranged from $1 to $13. The association is not in a hurry to receive the actual cash, as that can be paid any time before July l, but it is essential that prospective subscribers shall notify the treasurer how much they can give towards this work that the necessary plans may be made to accompodate the boys
 Captain R. G.sGuernsey of the Yale divinity baseball association will speak to the Moral Muscle league next Sun day. Admission by ticket. The league now numbers 103. The attendance last quarter was l,007 boys. The age limit Is fifteen to twenty years of age
 On Saturday May S1, the league will hold field day at the Morris Cove club house. Suggestions have been received in almost every mail from parents who desire the association to establish a savings bank department for the boys. It has been decided to meet this need within few days, and full details will be published later.

 ble of reaching out the hand, and in a few moments they will have quite a comfortable house plaited from nipa, which will shed rain like ducks back, and there you are, food and house to live in.
 The major is determined not to be caught in the same predicament as when the insurgents massacred the sol diers of the Ninth infantry. He has hod the underbrush cleared from around the camp for a distance of a couple of hundred yards, so as to give ample room to shoot in case the insur- gents try to rush the camp. Besides this he has given orders not to allow any natives in the camp proper, but has them all building their nipa shacks at the far end of our camp where they will always be under our eyes. Out posts are established at the four corners of the camp consisting of three men
 
 with additional sentries stationed where they will do the most good in case of attack by day or night.

ADDITIONS TO THE NAVY
THEY MUST NOW FOLLOW THE
 PROGRA MIME
Of Foreign Powers The Proposed Battleships and Cruisers Wiil Be Glass in the World.

The construction items of the Naval Appropriation bill just completed by the House committee on naval affairs contain evidence that there exists in congressional circles a belief that the United States must add to it's fleets in- definitely, after the manner of the na- val powers of Europe. The bill carries appropriations for two battleships of about 16000 tons displa cemnt, each to cost $4,212,000 without armor and arma ment; two armored cruisers of about 14,5000 tons displacement, each to cost $4, 659,000 and two gunboatS of 1000 tons burthen, each to cost $SS2000. The proposed battleships and cruisers will be among the largest ships of their class in the world.
 It will be noted that the cost of the battleships, without armor and arma- naent, is not as large as that of the cruisers. This is probably because the cruisers will really require more work on their hulls on the part of the con tractor than is required in the case of the battleships, which ae subsequently, to be more extremely encased with armor and probably also because they will require machinery dts gned for greater sustained speed. In both cases, the cost of armor and armament will add about one-third more to the cost, bringing it to the neghborhood of S6,000000. The provision of the bill for the construction of two small eunboats will not excite criticism, because handy vessels of that class can do good service in times of peace, when the large bat ties ips snd crui CTS are sim plY burdens on the expense roll of the Government 1t is wise to have a respectable fleet for emergencies, but there is no sense in policy which oontemplates continual ad- ditions that will eventually give us ships to employ the services of GUS todians at the Government "bone yards"
 The recent appeal from employees at the navy yard in favor of constructing new ships at the Government yards has borne fruit in clause of the bill which leaves the matter to the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. This is a wise course, as a mandatory provision might hamper the Government through some unforeseen emergency.-Ev Evening Wisconsin.

HEAVIER AFTER DEATH.

For some time, says the New York Tribune there has been speculation as to whether the body of Elmer s. Bundy who was United States Circuit Court Judge, was petrified Though at the time of his death-fve years ago--the Judge weighed only a little more than 100 pounds, it took six or seven men to handle the ccffin recently at the Mora vian Cemetery, where the Eody is now in the receiving vault awaiting reeu ial The present weight is said to be more than 300 pounds. It was learned at the cemetery that the theory of petrifica- tion had been pronounced against by experts who visited the vault and ex- amined the body not long ago. But ther is no doubt that the body has un- dergone marked and curious changes, and the fact has attracted the atten- tion of emba mers,
 The body, which was originally buried in metal coffin, which is said to have been sealed and alright was later ex- humed and taken West for burial and is no win New York in vault of the MoraVian Cemetery, where it is soon to be buried once more. The later eXhuma- tion developed the fact of increase In weight, and the examination which was made showed also that the color had changed to almost the shade of bronze.
 Frank H. Chase, an authority n em- balming, said that the mere fact of in- crease in weight was not extraordinary,
