Astray In the Catacombs.

A group of tourists including English and American visitors had a most un- pleasant experience in the catacombs recently, says the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald. They were proceeding with a guide in single file through a narrow gallery One gentle man stopped to examine an inscription. Those ahead of him walked on, thus cutting the party in two. When the latter half tried to rejoin the first they took a wrong turning and lost them selves. For two hours the party wan dered from gallery to gallery till they found ar outlet. As people have starved to death in the cataconbs. the ladies of 4he party were much terrified.

 Manager O'Nei1's version of the for feited game by Holyoke to Meriden puts the case in an entirely different light. When he was here with his team last week he exhibited copy of q telegram sent by the supervisor of umpires to Umpire Fricken, ordering him to change assignments with Um- pfre Kennedy n@ This change was de signed to place the latter at Meriden for the Ho1yoke game, and the order was sent by Supervisor Killeen in re- sponse to a protest against Fricken filed by the Holyoke manager. Man ager O'Neil claims to have proof that Umpire Fricken received the telegram in time. to obey it's directions. but that he declared he wouldn't do so.

LONDON, June 17.-Sir Thomas Lip tons last night in England prior to his leaving for New York was signalized by B large dinner at the Carlton hotel given in his honor by George T. Wilson of New York, at which the leading Americans in London and many distin- guished Br1tishers were present. The room was profusely decorated with British and American flags.
 Sir Thomas had an enthusiastic wei come from the company, which tnclud- ed the United States consul general, MT. Perry Belmont of New York, Lord Deerhurst, Lord Fairfax, Members of Parliament J. H. Daiziel, W. McKillop, J. Henniker Heaton, Sir Charles Fur ness and Sir Gilbert Parker, Hiram Maxim, R. Peabody of New York and Designer George Watson.
 The menus were inscribed. "Bon voy- age to Sir Thomas Lipton' and bore a picture of the Shamrock, stars and stripes and union jack intertwined. Proposing the health of his guest, Mir. Wilson struck a note, which was fol- lowed by the other American speakers, in saying that, while not wishing that Sir Thomas would lift the cup, Ameri- cans would rather see him successful than any other living Britisher.
 Both the British and American speakers spoke in the highest terms of Sir Thomas pluck and sportsmanship and expressed hopes that they would meet with their reward.
 Sir Thomas Tipton's speech, which was received with great enthusiasm, was full of confidence. He said:
 ''I have the greatest respect, as I have reason to have, for the skill of Americans as shipbualders, but you would not expect or wish me to toe the line at Sandy Hook in. any but the most hopeful frame of mind. have a very good hope that shall soon be em- ployed in getting an insurance on the famous cup.f have had advantages which have never had before.
 From what hear the Reliance is a wonder, for which am glad, as we want to win against the very best that America is able to produce. If my hopes are fulfilled I am certain the American people will not grudge me the success.
 'I wish to say in conclusion, gentle men, that hope to meet you all again when return, but with the difference that we shall have that blooming old mug on the table in front of us"

There is but one kind of poison ivy (Snown to botanists as Rhus toxicoden- dron) This has three leaves. Another climbing, trailing shrub of the same general appearance, on walls and rail fences, is the Virginia creeper. This is not poisonous and has five leaves. It will help you to remember which is the poisonous and which the harmless if you picture the three leaves as the index hand pointing "go;" that is, the three leaves, representing the three parts of the index hand-thumb, fore finger, clasped fingers.
