MRS. DEACON'S LETTER
Causes the Matin to Let Up on the
Crown Prince Story.

Paris, Aug. 14.-The Matin, which has
been publishing the story of an alleged
secret betrothal between the Crown
Prince Frederick William of Germany
and Miss Gladys Deacon, daughter of
Mrs. Edward Parker Deacon, ceased pub
lication of the story in consequence of
a letter from Mrs. Deacon as follows:
Il have read with the most profound
sadness the Mathis articles. I know
better than any one the real character
of the very brief relations, during that
meeting of 48 hours at Blenheim, the
home of the Duke and Duchess of Marl-
borough, between the crown prince and
my daughter who are both children. 1t
required considerable imagination to
transform the matter into a state af-
fair"

HAITIAN HONESTY.
Accounted Couriers Carry Loads O. Wealth Over Deso1ate Mountaip
 Passes in Safety.

Hayti is the only country in the world where black rules white" AL though the present republic is not sue cessfu1 because so large a portion of the citizens are lazy and uneducatId, yet the people have many good quail ties which, according to MT. Hesketh Pritchard, show themselves in unex- pected and contradictory ways.
 "One of the things that strike one most is that Hayti is country of ex- tremes and contrasts. Logic is always at fault. A Haytian's honesty is like a Haytian's mind; it is apt to surprise you round odd corners.
 ssFor example, hundreds of thou sands of Haytian dollars pass annually along the lonely track between Jac- mel and Port all Prince. The men who bear them are low-class Haytians, ragged, uncouth, uneducated, wild and untutored. Yet only once have the dollars failed to arrive. I have heard it said that ten dollars might tempt the Hay ytian's cupidity, but $1o, 900 awes him into immaculate honesty.
 During the last 30 years uncount- ed couriers have made the desolate journey over the mountain passes, each with his load of wealth, and there is only this one instance known of tho betrayal of trust. A fine record!"

Jenkins and Mcleod Will Draw
 Big Crowd.

Cleveland, O, July 2-The sale of seats for the championship wrestling match between Dan Mcleod and Tom Jenkins, which is scheduled for decis- ion at League Park here Friday after noon, is so great that the management is considering the advisibility of erect ing a new set of bleachers all round center field. The seating capacity of the park is about 10000, but the inter- est i'll the coming contest is even great CT than that shown when Jenkins de- feated Roeber here three years ago in the presence of nearly 15,OOO paid peo- pie.
 Betting on the coming event is sur prisingly brisk, with Mcleod even up. Both men are in great shape for hard and fast battle and popular opinion is about evenly divided as to the out come

Englishman Says Contest from Paris to Vienna Was Commercial Performance

Englishman Says Contest from Paris to Vienna Was Commercial Performance.
 Vienna, July 2.-The committee hay ing control af the recent international motor race from Paris to Vienna has has decided not to disqua1ify Marcel Renault, who was the first contestant to arrive here, because he failed to stop at the control station at Floris- dorf where the final racing time was to be taken. Renault therefore, takes first prize. Henri Farman wins the second prize, Edmond is awarded the third, Maurice Farman gets the fourth and Zborwski the fifth.
 The decision to award Renault the race was received with widespread dis satisfaction everywhere outside of French circles. The English represen- tatives were especially indignant. A prominent English automobilist said ::
 Eff an Englishman, d German or anybody but a Frenchman had rushed by the final control station in the man. ner in which Renault did they would have had no hesitation in disqualifying him. Foreigners can never permit an- other international race to be held un- der the conditions governing this con test 1t is a fact that the race degen- erated into a commercial performance for the benefit of certain French firms There is no element of legitimate sport in it.'

HOW SOON BEHEADING KILLS.
A French Physician Says That Death May Not Ensue for the, Space
 of Three Hours

Considerab ble attention has lateIy been given in France to the old ques- tion as to whether death follows in- simultaneously upon decapitation. A French physician asserts that it does not. In his opinion the blood which flows after decapitation comes from the large vessels of theneck, and there is hardly any call upon the circulation of the cranium, says the London News. The brain remains intact, nour- lshing itself with the blood retained by the pressure of the air. When the blood remaining in the head at the mo. ment of separation is exhausted there commences state, not of death, but of inertia, which lasts up to the moment when the organ, no longer fed, ceases to exist. It is estimated by the physician in question that the brain finds nourishment in the residuary blood for about an hour after decapi- tation. The period oftinertia would last for about. two hours, he thinks, and absolute death would not ensue till after the space of three hours al- together. Possibly this may be some consolation to those about to be guil- Iotined.

Highest-Pafd Mail Carrier

The bigness of our country is em- phasized every now and then by some obscure governmental routine. Away off in the Philippines we are delivering mail in canoeHke boats, and, on the other hand, says Harper's Weekly, a contract was let for carrying the mail in Alaska by dog-sleds. The success full bidder was Oscar Fish, and his route lies between Eagle and Valdez, a dis tance of Al miles. He makes two trips month, and receives nearly ,5OO a trip, or $35, ,000 year. Only 300 pounds are carried per trip, and this is usually made up of letters, few newspapers. Postoff1ce department officials say that the sum paid Fish is very reasonable when it is considered that he makes the trip by dog-sled, and that he has the most dangerous route of any mail car rier in the world

George Henry, released by Water bury, is playing with Newark and seems to be finding the ball all right He played first base the day before yesterday and center field yesterday.
 A report from the west has it that peace will be declared between the Ma tionaf and American leagues before the end of the playing season; that new national agreement will be drawn up, including the minor leagues, and that more liberal contracts as regards the re- serve rule will be granted to players.
 While there is no dougt that the re port that Wagner and O'Connor of the Pittsburg baseI ball club had signed with the American league club of St Louis is probably untrue, it is equally certain that these men and others of the Pittsburg team have been ap- preached by emissaries of Ban John sons organization. Lefty Davis con fessed Friday that he had been asked to join the Chicago team of the Amer ican league.

New London here tomorrow.


 Sullivan, who is playing with Wa terbury, belongs in Naugatuck and IS upholding his end of the game in good style.
 Six hits in the last two days is Dick Cooley's record at the Polo grounds. The six hits were for a total of eleven bases.
 Dan Murphy has been sold to the Philadelphia American league nine. lie will join Connie Mack's team on July 9. playing second for them. Murphy is the best batter in the Connecticut league.
 Baker of Andoyer, considered one of the best school pitchers brought out in some time, will enter Yale next fall. as will Campbell, another Andover pitcher, and Bowman, the Hill school pitcher.
 The first of July has passed and no purchaser has come forward to get the Waterbury franchise From pres ent appearances Manager Harrington will run the game himself for the rest of the season.
 It looks now as though Kid Me- Cormack had jumped the Waterbury team and what is more it is said that he has taken one of the local uniforms. If he has done so it was a pretty un- grateful trick, for Mccormack has l been used better than any man on the | team. He should have waited at least | until Manager Harrington had disposed of the team. This Jumping will not help the sale any.
 Great interest is centered in the two games to be played by tfe City league on Saturday aftefnoon at the Athletic | field. Both games will count in the | standing and each team will put forth | its best men to try for victory. The interest has become so great that last | night several wagers were made by members of each team that they would | be declared the winners The first | game will be between the Pastimes and | the St Joseph's T. A. 1ne Pastimes | believe they have a cinch and they were wagering all kinds of money last night that they would win and win | easily. The St Joseph team had many supporters and some of the wagers l taken were large ones. It is the same 1 in the second game, when the Brooklyn Athletic club and the Jetfersons face each other. The Jeffersons will De out in their new uniforms for the first time and they are saving their best pitcher for that game. An offer for a $50 side i bet was made last night that the lief. fersons would win and it will be GOV
 cred to-day. Each game will be a
 warm one and the friends of each team l will be out in force.

Underground Mountains

The conductors of the Trigonome tri- cal survey in India have made singu- lar discovery. They have reason to believe that there is in the middle of India an underground, or buried, mountain range, a thousand miles in length, which lies parallel with the Hima1ayas. The conclusion is based on the pecuiarities of the local attrac- tion of gravitation, the plumb-line be- ing defected southward on the north side of the supposed underground chain, and northward on the south side. The inference is that a great elongated mass of rock of excessive density un- derlies the two observing stations.

Lindemann did the pitching, and he was very wild, giving eight free passes to first. Mclean was very effective for Norwich and he held the Waterbury batters at his mercy in critical stages of the game.
