fine bowling secured a comfortable lead

opportunity.

He Was Known the World Over as .
Sailing MaAter.

Sailing Master.
Capt Joseph Ellsworth, the famous
yachtsman and sailing master. died at his
home In Bayonne. N. j., yesterday at the
age of seventy-one years.
He was born at Tuckerten, N. J.. among
the fishermen along shore. When old

fathers schooner. He was soon promoted
to the position of mate and learned the
coast so that he knew every inlet and sand
bar from Montauk Point to Hatteras. He
was graduated from fishing smacks to
coastfng scfnooners sailing between New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Captain Joe" made q fortune In the
oyster business. but he achieved fame as
a skipper. By good seamanship he won
races where others would have failed. He
studied the tides. and New York harbor
was like an open book to him. Yachtsmen
sought his advice and for many years he
was In great demand ''nt
He was pilot on the Puritan when she
won the Americas cup in the contest with
the Genesta. in 1885. To his knowledge of
the tides and clever handling of the Ameri-
can boat the defeat Of the challenger was
ascribed.
Captain "Joe's'' brother Philip designed
the Atlantic, built by the Atlantic Yacht

Captain Joe" sailed her in the trial races,
but sne was beaten by the Mayfiower.
Paine on the Puritan. the Volunteer and

Scotland In 1887 but Captain joe said
that he was too good an American to help

PLUM PUDDING SECRET.
Those Not Sold Are Kept by Bakers

From the London Express.
What becomes of all the surplus Christ
mas cakes, pudding and mincemeat that
stil give the confectioner's shop window a
festive appearance? Even in establish
ments where the supply is nicely regulated
to the demand. there usually remains
enough to fill twelve baskets, and the de-
mand after Christmas is necessarily very
limited, The curiosit1 of an Express
representative on this Subject was satis-
fed by a. baker who himself had consid-
erabie surplus of good-things undisposed of.
"The unsold puddings and mincemeat,"
he said, ''are kept in stock until next year.
They present no difficulty whatever. III
they are made of really good things and
are properly kept, they will last for twelve
months and more. AS a matter of fact
sold several puddings last week which /
made just q. year ago, and very good they
were. my customers declared. 1t Is the
Christmas, cakes. the mince pies and all
the other perishable confectionery that ara
a trouble. We generally get some left
over. and it Is not easy to sell them. After
Christmas We often offer cakes and mince
pies at half price; sometimes cheaper than
that. Bat there are still some left, ard
these we generally dispatch to the work
houses and to charitable institutions. Some
bakers send supplies TO DIR. Barnardo' S
Homes. others TO Miss Sharmans institu-
ton or any other charity in which they are
Interested. Personally, i always send my
surplus to friend in the East End. who
distributes 1t among the very poor"
Bakers who have a restaurant as well as

Christmas surplus Next week they will
pie who eat their Christmas padding and
cakes after, Christmas, because they can
get them much cheaper-but they are mean.

ing's arrival in Chicago yesterday.
Mr.. Spalding and Ban Johnson president
of the American League, are to hold con-
ference late this afternoon, when action
will be taken to bring the two leagues to-
gether. 1t is understood that overtures
for this conference have been framed al
ready.
1t is regarded as likely that plans will be
arranged whereby the National League will
secure circuit with the aid of the Ameri-
can League. Spalding is assured of four
clubs-Chicago. Pfttsburg, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia-and he said yesterday that
II it was necessary he would 20 into the

his purpose to start out with these four
clubs. with the hope of bringing over the

gent Spalding's friends assert that II would
be relatively easy to win over the st. Louis

ANOTHER FfsHY STORY.

Massate Freedmang to9TBny Out the
Baltimore Club.
Following the storBsthat Barney Drey-
fuss is ready to jump the Pittsburg Club
into the American League II the base ball
troubles are not settled IN reasonable
time comes another raportlt also from the
west. that President freedman of the New
York club is contemplating similar move.
This latest story says that Freedman Is
preparing to settle the base ball squabbles
by buying the Baltimore franchise In the
American League, which would bring with
it the services of such star base ball
artists as McGraw. Robinson McGinnity,
Jack Hughes. Williams, Donlin. 81 Sey-
mour. McGann, Bresnahan and few
others.
1t has never been denied that the Ameri-
can League Is anxious to get into New
York From Cincinnati the runlor has
come with great regularity that Ban john
son has been flirting with John T Brush,
who is acting for the Freedman four This
has given rise to the story that the four
will all be found in the American League
when the playing season opens. The
scheme involves Freedman buying the Bal
timore franchise, John T. Brush purchas-
ing the Cleveland club and transferring 1t
to Cincinnati This would leave Robinson
to consolidate with the American League
club In ST. Louis, and Soden, Conant and
Billings to pool their club and players with

The Decline Of Rum.
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal
Advocates of total abstinence who usual
iy describe themselves as Temperance"
people should take comfort in the figures
that show steady decline in the sale Of
rum. The former popularity of this bever-
age has left its trace in the generic use of
the word for any kind Of alcoholic drink.
1t is still rum which the reformers fight,
whether in the guise of beer or whisky. But
the glory Of the real article has departed.
This is pity from more than one point Of
view Not only is rum considered by some
good Judges to be at once more paiatable
and more healthful than whisky. brandy
or GIN but it is also associated with those
brave days of old when the Puritans found
in it their chief moral consolation They
were stern men who frowned suspiciously
upon even harmless pleasures. But they
drank rum steadily on all occasions. public
and private. How far the virtues their
descendants celebrate were due &c this fact
is 10 doubt difficult question.

An Illustration of the Way sopme
Fishes Have of Changing Color.


From the New York Sun
1t is a familiar fact that male fishes at
the breeding season become more brilliant
in coloring 1t is perhaps not so well
known that many fishes brighten up in col
oring after feeding. provided that they
don't eat too much. AS to the power of
changing their colorings fishes in general
have 1t to a wonderful degree. Even the
common fiatfish. for instance half buried

back SO like the gravel surrounding 1t that
the two can scarcely be distinguished three
feet away. Plenty OF fishes change. as
might be said in a modern phrase while
you wait" They change while you are
standing looking at them.
And this power to change exists not
alone in fishes in blacks and grsys and
such sober colorings. but in the brilliantly
colored fishes Of the tropics which, be-
