pute Between Yale and Princeton.
 President PulIiam of the National league, the arbiter of all disputes aris- ing in college base ball, yesterday made his decision in the controversy between Yale and Princeton over a point in last Saturdays game which has been the cause of much comment among the stu dents of both universities. In the game a Princeton player batted out of turn, and on the decision of the umpire Cap tain Pearson of Princeton raised q question. MT Pulliam's decision is ex- plained in the statement which fol lows:
 Tn this game Captain Winslow raised the point of the proper batsman having failed to take his position at the bat and called for a ruling by the umpire, under rule 46, section 1, of the playing rules of the National league, which rule reads as follows: The batsman is out if he fails to take his position at the bat in his order of bat ting, unless the error be discovered and the proper batsman takes his position before time ''at bat' Is recorded, and in such case the balls and strikes called must be counted in the time "at bat" of the proper batSman, and only the proper batsman shall be declared out, and no run shall be scored or bases run because of any act of the improper batsman; provided, this rule shall not take effect unless the out is declared before the ball is delivered to the sue ceeding batsman. Should batsman de- clared out by this rule be sufficient to retire the side the proper batsman the next innings is the player who would have come to bat had the player been out by ordinary play As the result of decision of Umpire Halliday on Captain Winslow's appeal friendly protest was lodged with this office by Captain Pearson of the Princeton team for the constructiop of said rule, it being understood and so stated by Cap tain Pearson that the Princeton club

Hartford, June 6-The New Haven battery yesterday was Hope and Jope, and the other members of the team be longed to the Dope family, judging from the game they put up. It must have been an off day for the two-spots. They have been pretty lucky this sea- son, getting two games from the um- pires, one from Ashe and the other from Fricken. The team was not at it's best yesterday, however, as. Hope is not the best pitcher in New Haven. The Hartfords were out to hit the ball and it would not have made any great difference if another pitcher had gone out to work. Luby had everything and New Haven could not do much with him until the eighth, when few lucky hits were made. Three bad er- TOTS were made in this inning and New Haven was fortunate in scoring.

Fatal Hours

Is it a fact that certain hours Of
the twenty-four which form day are
more fatal to life than the rest2
Is the popular beliefthat deaths occur
at any particular moment more than
any others founded on fact2
A solution OF this question has been
attempted by physician, having set
down in writing the exact time Of the
deaths of $3.50 persons Of all ages,
among mixed population and extend
ing over many years, easily perceived
that the most fatal hour was between
5 and Sin the morning On the other
hand, the minimum was between 8
and II o'clock, also in the morning.
The mortality at the fret named
hour was 40 per cent above the av-
erage, in the second 81 per cent. be-
low it.
Between 10 and 2 o'clock during
the day the mortality was not high.
The most fatal hours we're between
8 and 6 o'clock in the morning.
The fact is therefore proved there
are fatal hours. Why2 The e1plana-
ton is easy. In fact, the statistics
of 5000 to 5000 deaths, collected by
Mr.. HavilaDd, and laid before the
British Medical Association in 1864,
showed that in the great majority Of
cases death supervened between one
o'clock and eight o'clock in the morn
ing, and that the minimum number
occurred between one o'clock in the
afternoon and midnight. Hence the
practical deduction that death most
frequently happens at a time when,
generally speaking, the sick are neither
fed nor looked after. Hence, also, the
therapeutic deduction that those who
suffer should be watched increasingly

Detected by an Odor.

Murderers and thieves have somS-
times been traced by the inefaceabls
odor Of certain perfumes and scents.
An interesting case of this sort occur
red not long ago in Paris, where
notorious burglar was arrested solely
because he had partislity for sucal -
tus. An elderly lady awoke one night
in the city of Paris to find that tS'
iewel-box at the side of her bed MAS
being robbed by burly masked man.
The lady controlled herself and feisn-
ed sleep. but she noticed the strong
odor of eucalyptus that pervsded the
man s garments. AS soon as he had
gone she opened her bedroom window
and screamed for assistance. But the
thief had made good his escape, nor
was be captured for a considerable
time. One day there called at the
office of a pawn-broker gentlemanly-
looking man who was desirous Of pledg-
ing few articles of jewelry. Now
the pswn-broker had received a list
of the gems stolen from the lady in
question, and be saw that none OF them
were shown by the gentleman; but
be had read in the newspaper account
Of the robbery about the strong odor
Of eucalyptus that the lady had notlc'
ed, and he at once became aware OF
the smell of the fragrant oil pervad'nE
his would.be customers elothlpg.
His suspicious were aroused, and he
summoned policeman and told hl'
story. The result was the capture OF
a notorious burglar and the thief Of
the lady's gems An account comes
from India. A merchant returning
10 his home from Calcutta took with
him a small flask of spikenard, a costly
perfume used in Hindu religious rites.
He was robbed and murdered on his
way home. Months later the erlm-
inals, who had come under suspicion
for other crimes, received an informal
visit from the police, when the strong
odor OF the costly scent wa, noticed in
their abode, and the hali-empty flask
was unearthed beneath a stack Of fuel
in one of the rooms. This led to the
conviction and execution Of thrc. Of
the gang.
