PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's WINE.
Disappearance Which Was En- tireIy Satisfactory.

s'The late President Harrison was a connoisseur of rare old wines, a1- though he was extremely temperate in the use of them. At the time when he visited Stanford university to deliv- CT four lectures on international law for fee of $10,00o (which is probably the record price for university lec-i tures), he was quartered in one of the college halls here suite of rooms had been especially prepared for him. Immediately after his arrival" says Beverages, "there came also a case of carefully selected claret, burgundies and madeiras, which were placed in one of the rooms set apart for his use.
 ssThe next day all these wines had disappeared, and the only reminder of their previous existence was found in a long train of empty bottles in the midst of the campus. When President Jordon heard of this he summoned be- fore him the s,udents of the university and made them little address, in the course of which he said that he was. about to instigate an investigation into the purloining of MT. Harrison's wines, and that it would go much easier with the guilty persons if they would have the manlinesS to come forward and own up. After he had dceased speaking there was a long pause, and presently one of the students in the back part of the room rose and said with a bland, impersonal air:
 "sMr. President, the bylaws of the univerity forbid the bringing of any wines or spirituous liquors upon the university grounds or into the univer- sity buildings. Consequently, if any wines or spirituous liquors have been brought i'll and if they have disap- peared, which we all regret, they have probably been seized as contraband, and therefore the owner has no re- dress.'
 ] President Jordan made few some what inarticulate remarks and then dismissed the meeting. Nothing more wassgaid about. the wine, and t is prob able that MT. Harrisonss legal mind rec ognized the force of the point that had been raised against him.

AIcKeever, as in the three previous contests in which he met O'Brien, tried to end the fight with one decis- i've blow, right hand lead. O'Brien, however, was too wary, and after the first punch kept the Bridgeport boy going until the final blow was deliv- cred.
 Last nights contest should forever set at rest all arguments as to the rel

 O'Brien met NIcKeever at his own

Waterbury lost to Meriden yesterday on Hanover park because the local players could not hit Durnbaugh and Charley Clancy had an off day and the Meridens took kindly to his de- livery. Meriden played miserably in the field. but at the bat they were a power Mickey Delaney batted well, but had two bad errors. He seems to be the mascot for the team, however. The score and summary:

Philadelphia, June 3.-That the mid- dleWeight champion fighter, Jack O'Brien, is Charley McKeever's mas ter at every stage of the game was clearly demonstrated here last night at the Industrial Athletic club, when he knocked the latter out i'll one round.
 OBrien started in at the sound of the bell, and fought as fast as feath- erweight jabbing his opponent with straight left hand punches, and before Mckeever could get away, caught him five times on the jaw with right hand blows. The last right hand punch was delivered seven seconds before the bell rang to end the first round Me- Keever dropped like log, was carried to his corner, and at the end of the

Inc figures given in New York are nearly double the actual fig ures. Despite this, the figures were: National league, 63,000; American league, 64,000.
 All arrangements have been made for the game between Norwich and Waterbury to be played i'll Danbury tomorrow. It was scheduled for here. but Buffalo Bill has charge of the grounds tomorrow. There is still an- other game that will have to be trans ferred later in the month as on June 19 the Walter l.. Main shows are here and New London is scheduled for that date.
 Here is the roll of honor: Larry can't come back, Bernhardt can't come back.

London, June Skid McFadden of San Francisco knocked out Jem Will Hams of London last night at the Ma tional Sporting club in a fight for the bantamweight championship of Eng land and purse of $1,75O.
 The fight was the sharpest five round contest which has been seen in London for q long time. A big crowd, including Tom Sharkey, Gus RuIilin and Joe Walcott, the American fight CTS, and other participants in the pu- gilistic tournament to be held here in connection with the coronation festiy- ities, was present.
 McFadden could not get down to weight and was allowed to go on at 120 pounds. He forced the fighting from the start and proved to be much stronger than his opponent. Williams, however, was very clever and had the better of the third round. The end came suddenly at the close of the fifth, when McFadden landed haIf-hook on the Englishman's jaw.

Especial Dispatch to The Times,

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, September
1S.-Roberts Brothers are now working
10 hands in their canning factory here,
and are putting out Is, 600 cans daily. The
receipts for tomatoes are fifty tons per
day of beautiful quality, but Messrs.
Roberts say that these are not as many
as they wish. and next year they will
ask for increased acreage of tomatoes.
60, 600 cans a day, and working 12o hands
This is the first year the farmers of
this section have cultivated tomatoes on
a large scale, and they are pleased with
the yield and the prices. II Messrs.
Roberts can secure the acreage they de-
sire OF tomatoes, they will enlarge the
factory and build an addition for the
canning of peas, sweet corn and berries
The establishment OF this factory here
has given an impetus to the trucking
industry, and farmers will go into it more
extensively than ever.
INTERESTED IN HENDERSON.
Peculiar interest is felt here in the re-
tirement of Congressman Henderson
from politics and from the speakership
of the House after this session of Con-
gress Our people are deeply interested
in the establishment of the National Bat
tIef1elds Park here and in this county,
and Speaker Henderson las been-t the only
obstacle in the way Of the success OF
that project. Twice has the measure gone
through all the preliminary stages OF
committee work. passage through, the
Senate, introduction into the House and
the assurance Of adoption of the motion
of appropriation of 100000 to start the
work, If Speaker Henderson had con-
scented to recognize a member to make
that motion. But he would not Go 50,
and was irmovable in his stand, stating
that whilst he was not opposed to this
particular bill. he would not consent TO
open the doors of Congress to that class
OF legislation. It is now believed that
with the various influences backing this
measure, that a new Speaker, whether
Democrat or Republican would be willing
for the bill to pass

NEW APPARATUS
Laboratory at the University College
Being Enuinoed.


In the Department OF Physics and
Physiology Of the University College Of
Medicine many expensive and interesting
pieceS of apparatus have been ordered Tor
the coming session in anticipation OF the
inauguration of a course of laboratory
work.
Dr.. Afford l.. Gray, tho professor of
this department., stated that the best at
tainable static machine would be in place
within few weeks, with all necessary
equipment for an A-ray laboratory equal
to the best in the country, and such other
apparatH as will be needed for thorough
ly teaching and administering eectrici-
ty in its various forms.
He also explained the uses Of certain
other new pieces of apparatus. one of
which is an air calorimeter Tor the es-
timation of the amount OF heat generated
in various activities incident TO life. and
that produced by different kinds of food.
A small animal. such as a. cat or rabbit,
is placed in chamber of the calorimeter
and fed on various foods. The instrument
is so constructed that the amount OF
heat produced in the acts OF digestion
and assimilation can be detern1redi
and thereby the value Of certain kinds
of food for the production of body heat
ascertained
Among other new pieces OF apparatus
which will be employed in this depart
ment are a recording nanometer for
showing the amount OF blood pressure
in the various blood vessels of the body:
a mechanical device for showing the.
physiological act OF respiration; and an
outfit for demonstrating the normal be-
favior of muscles under electrical stlmu-
lation, and much other apparatus that
will make this department thoroughly
practical and up to date.
