POLICE LEAGUE STANDING.

Jack Dunleavy, the former Friends
school and Brown university player,
has been signed by the Montreal team
OF the Eastern league, and he will be
one of the slab artists for Dooley's ag-
gregation. Dun1eavy played with AM
herst when he left Brown and has met
with much success in the box and
should have no difficulty in making
good in the eastern league.
Shugart has been succeeded by Dan
iel Shay as captain of the San Francis
co team. When Sh1gart left Chicago
he stated that the reasons he had re-
fused to sign with the Chicago Ameri-
cans for another season were: First, d
big salary in the west; second, long
season, and third an opportunity to try
his hand at managing team. He has
drawn down the big salary and failed
utterly to handle the men.
Jack Quinn, the catcher, will be out
of the game for the remainder of the
season. He started to run after a foul
fly by Finn in the first inning His
spike caught in the ground, he tripped
and fell heavily, breaking his left leg
at the lower, part OF the calf. He was
carried to the dressing room, where d
physician examined the break Later
he was taken to the Hartford hospital
in the ambulance. Thomas, the spare
catcher, took his place and caught a
good game. The management of the
Hartford ball club will pay Quinn's
salary to the end of the season. A
benefit game for him will be played
next week. The opposing team has not
been selected. AS an extra attraction
two old National league umpires will
otIiciate.
The Springfield News has the follow
| ing to say about Ed Connors, whom the
Democrat has written up on several
occasions for his rowdy tactics:
The finest game of baseball that has
been seen on Hampden park this sea-
son was nrarred yesterday by one of
the most cowardly, uncalled-for and
violent exhibitions of rowdyism that
have ever been perpetrated on the
baseball field anywhere. To the shame
of Springfield be it said that the cap
tain and first baseman of the local
team. Edward Connors, was the of
fender Manager Connor promptly
punished the pugnacious bagman by
suspending him indefinitely, which, of
course, was the only action he could
take under. the circumstances, as the
vicious and unprovoked assault made

In Mexico the young men can show

therefore, quite eager to invite them

PATRIOT WAS IN A PICKLE.
English Consul at San Diego, Cal, Was Mistaken for Marauder
 When Raising Flag.

Maj. Allen, the British vice consul at San Diego, Cal, is a patriotic man and on the day preceding the coronation of King Edward desired to see the. flag of his country floating over the lega- tioh offices bright and early. So he decided to hoist the flag on Friday night before retiring. The consufs office is in one of the largest lodging house in the business part of the city. and when he had made his way through the dark corridors and up the ladder to the roof he accidentally knocked over several chairs and few boxes, alarm ing over half the lodgers, one of whom rang in a burglar alarm and a squad'of officers responded. A conference was held with the frightened lodgers, after which quick advance was made on the flat. roof, reports a local exchange.
 As the posse appeared Consul Allen was taking the kinks out of the flag. When he was ordered to throw up his hands he refused. A second demand was made accompanied by the infor- nation that the challenging party were police officers. The consul re- piled that he was the local representa- tive of Great Britain and he dared them to arrest him. Of course when he ex- plained his midnight journey to the roof the discomfted officers quickly departed and allowed the consul to finish his flag raising in peace.

ssIf the powers that be-" said con- ductor on Madison avenue car, ac- cording to the New York Commercial Advertiser, 'wculd make it misde- meanor for a woman to get off a nov ing car backward, fewer people would be injured, the company would save money and we conductors wouldn't get gray so quickly. We all try our best to teach women how to get off a car, but many of them seem to be unable to learn such simple thing as that.
 ssWhen they fall and are hurt they blame us for it of course. But what saddens me is the way they resent your efforts to teach them how to insure their safety. I turned one woman half way around one day in an effort to get her to step off in the direction in which the car was going. She slapped my face, 'sassed' me good and reported me to the company as an impertinent scoundrel who ought to be in jail. If I hadn't caught her when I did she would have had bad fall.

MAGNETIZED SPIDER.
Singular Effect of a Magnet Upon the Insect Discovered by
 Scientist.

An experiment has lately been made by a scientist to test the influence which magnet will have on spider, reports the New York Herald. The magnet employed was small steel one of the U shape, the legs of which were about two and half inches long by one-half inch wide and one- sixth of an inch thick, the distance be- tween the poles being about one-quar- ter of an inch.
 Having noticed small spider ac- lively running along his armchair he brushed it off upon the carpet, where it began to run, but was somewhat inn peded by the roughness of the fabric. He now slid the magnet along the car pet, following after the spider, till the ends of the poles were within quar- ter of an inch of it. The animal, with out being touched, almost instantly stopped, and, on withdrawing the magnet, the spider continued on his journey.
 The experimenter then placed the magnet within half an inch of the front of the spider, and, withdrawing it slowly, the latter followed it in every direction which the magnet took, both in straight and circuitous routes.
 Gradually, however, the spider be- came so strongly magnetized as to be immova ble for several minutes, the magnetic influence seeming to lose it's further power. On withdrawing the magnet altogether the spider seemed to recover somewhat.
 The scientist ultimately placed tumbler over the spider and the mag net, covering them both competely, and at the expiration of several min utes the spider, after struggle to es- cape from the strong influence which the magnet exercised over it,was dead. The experimenter states that, though he had killed many spiders and other small animals, as we'll as some plants, by magnetism, he. had never before succeeded in doing it without touch ing the victim frequently with the magnet,

They are also building the mausoleum at Fairview cemetery. The dispute between the firm and the union grows out of the question of wages and the hiring of non n-union men. The firm claims that the union could not furnish it all the union men needed for, its work so it was compelled to take some non-union men. .a

WARM FLOODED ENGLIsHMEN,
Live in Cold Rooms and Get Warn from the Heat of Their
 Bodies.

ntis perhaps because the English are much, out-ofdoors that they care lit tie about having. their houses proper 1Iy warmed. The author of An Amer jean at Oxford" says that when he first dined with the dons of his col 1ege, the company assembled about huge coal fire. M On a rough calculation, the coal it consumed, if used in an American steam-heater, would have roasted out the entiUe college. As it was, it's only effect seemed to be to draw an icy blast across the ankles from medieval doors and windows. The draft swept the fire bodily up the chimney and left us shiyering.
 One of the dons explained that an open fire has two supreme advantages; it is the most cheerful thing in life and it insures thorough ventilation. agreed with him heartily as warmed one ankle in my palm, but mentioned that in an American winter heat is as necessary as cheerfulnesS and ven tilation.
 ssBut if one wears thick woolens,' 7 replied the don, ssthe cold and draughts are quite endurable. When you get too cold reading, put on your great coat"
 s'Then what do you do when you go out-of-doors? ?"
 'I take off my great coat. Itis much warmer there, especially if you walk briskly."
 Some days later, when I went to dine with my tutor, my hostess apol- ogized for the chill of the drawing room.
 1t will presently be much warmer, 2 said she. 'I have always noticed that when you have sat ill a room for awhile it gets warm from the heat of your bodies.''
 She proved to be right. But when we went into the dining-room we foune it like barn. She smiled with repeat ed assurances. Again she provec right; but we had hardly tempered the frost when we had to shift again tc the drawing-room. That, too, re quired to be nnel'r-r"o tod

 pairing for Seasons Work.
 The Waterbury High School will probably be represented by two good basketball teams this season a boys team and girls team. 44ast year the first girls basketball team in the High school was organized and the girls showed up well, considering the little practice they had. This year they in tend to get into the game early. Miss 4Kittie Glynn will be manager again this year and Miss Gussie Siyiter will be captain. The latter is a very strong player and ought to make q good cap tain. Miss Bernice Burton may also play and also Miss Slyiter Junior There are several other candidates for the team. They will probably practice in the. Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasilim and two or three games will be arranged during the season.
 With the exception of art Cook. all of last years star High School basket ball team are still at school. They are H. Cook, Hannegan, Chapman, Sander son and Larkin; other candidates for the team this year are Daily and Guil- foile. It is said that both Frank Fitz- patrick and John Ryan would like to be manager of the team. Last years team was one of the best in tic state and the players this year will have hard work to beat last years record.
 Manager Gaffney of the High School candidates for this seasons team re port for practice this afternoon. It is expected that there will be at least twenty candidates. Attorney Durant. Professor Kennedy and Joe LawIor, a member of the Holy Cross eleven for two or three seasons, have consented to coach the candidates and no doubt they will do their work well. Manager Gaffney intends to give a fine enter tainment at the High School Assembly hall on Friday evening of next week for the purpose of raising funds for the team.
