Rutgers Prep, ON. S., 8.
The Morristown School was beaten
9-8 by the Rutgers Preparatory Team
at New Brunswick Saturday afternoon.
Inability to hit the ball at the right mo-
ment and many errors on the part of the
school that cost runs and hard luck in
having Kirkpatrick injured SO badly
that he had to be taken out of the game
explains the defeat. The game was
loosely played by both teams. In fact,
was a comedy of errors due partly to
the hard wind which blew across the
diamond, making it almost impossible to
throw accurately. Hay struck out II men
who seemed unable to guage his very
speedy delivery. Behr made 8 hits out
of times at the bat. In the fifth in
ming, while running to first, kirkpatrick
strained tendon of the leg and had to
be taken from the game, which weak
ened the local team considerably. Knapp
then went to first and Behr behind the
bat, where he caught fairly well, con-
sidering that he bad not before tried to
catch Wattles, and with more ex-
perience will surely be just the
man for the position. With the score
standing "a against the visitors
the batting in the ninth inning was
worthy of notice. Hays pitching
was a feature of the game. 1t will
be interesting to see if he will do as well
in the return match which will be
played Saturday May II. Considering
that Kobbe had been out of the game so
far this season and Hutchison out of the
last two the school has done particularly
well under many handicaps. The gen.
eral team work and batting should from
now on show steady improvement and
bring better results.

been spoken; but l felt that some one
was standing beside me.
Instantly l turned and beheld,
clearly visible in the bright moon
light, figure, motionless and tall /;
it's eyes fixed upon the house beyond
the road. 1t was the figure of an
elderly man; straight, strong, and
with something of military air. The
oountenance calm and serious, the
gray hair tied in queue behind, the
old fashioned hat, the long sSirted
coat, the knee breeches, were all so
familiar to me that instinctively
removed my hat; ] knew who it was
who stood beside me.
The figure slightly turned: Be
covered, sir I" he said; .he night air
is damp.
At the tones of this voice a thrill
went through me as if l had felt a
slight electric shock The words were
spoken clearly, there was nothing in
their intonation which suggested the
accent of foreigner; it was the Eng
lish language, but not spoken as
Americans speak it today. 1t had in
it something of the burr which marks
the speech of the Briton, but it was
not English as the Englishmen speak
it today. 1t was our language as

l put on my hat; words from that
figure were commands.
"Can you tell me sir, " he said, if
that is the mansion once occupied by
Col. Jacob Ford, and later by his
widow? Nay, know it must be;
cannot mistake that house, although
it's surroundings are strange and
somewhat bewildering to me. Is il
possible, sir, that there is apprehen-
sion of an attack from an enemy; else
why that artillery before the house?''
"There is no danger of the kind,
your Excellency, hastened to an
swer. "Those cannon are merely tro-
phies of war, brought here from many
a battle field of the Revolution.
"Ah indeed l marveled greatly tc

pleasure, sir, to gaze upon that

there are now roads and houses But
that mansion 1t does not appear to
have changed in the least since the
days when dwelt within it's walls.
Everything that know or remember
in this town or in the country round
about has been touched by the finger
of time except this one house; it is
wonderful, sir, that this single edifioe
should have been so spared.
"It has been preserved, your Ex-
cellency, by the efforts and fond de-
votion of patriotic men who hope to
preserve it as long as it's materials
endure, as a memento of what they
owe to your Excellency and to those
noble men who"
He waved his hand, and slightly
bowed his head.

Of course l thought it desirable in
the highest degree that my companion
should enter the house which had
once been his Headquarters, but
cannot express the earnestness of my
desire to accompany him.
"Your Excellency, I said, 81 hope
that you will not hesitate for NOM

mansion. -
For moment my companion stood
in thought "As you have already
been so obliging, sir" he said, II

before finished my scrutiny of these
we'll beloved premises. Now I re-
member that, in days gone by, Count
Pulaski Ga wild fellow, sir, but
fine horseman, who frequently urged
his steed to it's swiftest gait up and
down this road, firing his pistol and
then tossing it into the air and catch
ing it, to the envy and admiration of
his comrades), frequently lodged
/ here, and it was thought that some
times he entered the house long after
! the regular hour of closing. On one
of these occasions I discovered his
fault and reprimanded him, but for
gave him on condition that he should
disclose to me his method of entering
without disturbing the other members
of the household He did this, and
in strict confidence, sir, will dis
close that method to you. "
This he did, and l solemnly prom
ised that would reveal the secret to
no one.
Without loss of time we repaired to
the house. My companion disappear

had employed more than century

hastened to the entrance hall, and
there I perceived the figure standing
near the door.
1t surprised me to discover how
easily could discern objects in the
house which had been closed for the
night and in which no light was
burning. 1t may be that the bright
moonlight forced its way through
some of the windows, but this would
not have been sufficient to enable me
to see things as | now saw them

Ten innings were necessary to decide
the game Saturday morning between the
local high school and the Madison H. S.
Errors were numerous on both sides, al
though when men occupied bases both
teams played faultless ball. At the close
of the ninth inning the score stood Sc,

F[oman the next man up smashed out a
single sending Dempsey across the plate

his usual steady game, while Babbitt on

came his way. The score follows:

Coronsr's Jury Returns Verdict That
Ito Shot Herself.

An inquest was held yesterday on the
body of Ito. a Japanese woman who
was found shot in a house in Iwilei on
Tuesday night.
The husband of deceased testified that
his wife had been sick for several
months but had apparently recovered
her health. They had lived happily to-
gether and he was at loss to account
for her rash act.
Other Japanese witnesses testified
that Ito and her husband were on good
terms and could give no reason why
the woman took her life.
DR.. ]. T Mcdonald stated that an
autopsy performed by him showed
death TO have been due 10 a gunshot
wound.
The coroner's jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
That the said Kiku Ito came to her
death at Iwilei from a gunshot wound
inflicted by bullet from a loaded re-
volver held in the hands of said Kiku

suicidal intent"

private residence. because, as he said,
he could there give me the whole of his
time. There are many things to be
provided for in a steam mail contract
that grow upon one as you get into

sidy, is agreed upon. you have only just
entered upon your task. Penalties may
be exacted that with even unavoidable
accidents, may sweep away all your
subsidy. i fought inch by inch for
every possible concession, and l am
afraid l was just little too strenuous
for Sir Julius Vogers unbearable
rheumatism. l think he sometimes
gave way out of sheer exhaustion. L
believe that almost every clause of the
contract was written, printed and cor
rected a dozen times before it was
finally adopted. In the end l had OBJ

penalties made merely nominal, and

first saw my letter OF instructions. i
reminded him that our agreement was
that he should see IL after he had sign

which perhaps meant: We will meet
at Philippi." We did. but that is an
other story.
