The stinging weather of the week has
retarded action somewhat in delivery.
However the local houses have been very
busy receiving and all have full crews
sorting and packing. Twenty car loads
of bundle goods were shipped elsewhere,
ten to Sparta, some to GAINESVILLE, Edger-
ton, Madison and two loads to Pennsyl-

There are many big stories of yields
and profits. Fred Rude, of Newton, de-

ed to have been first to receive ten cents

Court Decides in His Favor in Lltiga-
 gation Over Recent Tournament.
 Paris, May 1.-The peculiar suit between vignaux, Cure and Sutton as
 to the winner of the billiard champion
 ship last February was decided in
 court Saturday in favor of Vignaux, on
 the ground that he had obtained the
 highest aggregate of points. Cure and
 sutton. who maintained that the con
 test resulted in three-cornered tie and
 should be played off, were snon-suited. At the time of the contest, which re- suited in q tie, it was asserted that the agreement provided that in case the
 leading players should finish even the winner should be the, contestant with
 the highest average. The agreement however, did not stipulate whether the highest general average or the highest average in any one game was meant. Vignaux had the highest general aver age and contended that he yves entitled 1 to the championship. Cure and Sutton l insisted that the agreement referred to 1 the highest average in any one game, and the matter was taken to the courts with the above result. Vignaux's gen. eral average was 22' 19-66. Sutton's best average in game with Vignaux ! was 31 Min sixteen innings. .I

YALE ATHLETES WIN
Defeat Princeton by 75 Points to 29- Glass Makes Shot Putting Record.

Glass Makes Shot Putting Record.
 Princeton, N. J., May 11.-Princeton and Yale met here Saturday afternoon in a dual track meet for the first time since 1896, and Yale won; scoring a total of 75 points to Princeton's 20. The Tigers captured only two first places, in the one mile run and in the hammer throw. Gaines, the crack hurdler, and Norton, Nassau's captain and holder of the intercollegiate record ill the pole vault, were both counted on as sure first place men by the Or ange and Black supporters, but they fell down. Horton failed to do better than Il feet 1nches, while McDana- han of Yale got over the bar three inches higher. Horton's best pre- +vious record was Il feet inches. Gaines's failure to land a medal for the Tigers ill the 120-yard hurdle event was, however, due more to an accident D than to lack of ability. He had good lead over Clapp, the Yale fyer' and would have won hands down, but he tripped and fell about twenty feet from the tape. AS it was he got third place. Clapp covered the sticks in 154-5 seconds, equalling both 1ade and Princeton's track record in the event.
 Glass. the Ellis giant athlete, put the collegiate record in the shot put com pletely to the woods. He hurled the weight 45 feet S1s inches, foot far ther than Beck of Yale, who made tne best previous intercollegiate figures.
 De Witt, Princeton's big man, got second in this event, but he was snort of Glass's mark by foot and a hatI' This was the only intercollegiate rec ord broken, but Moulton of Yale man aged to clip fifth of a second rom the Princeton track recirG in the 2ZO- yard dast. He covered the stretch Ill 21 3-5 seconds.
 The most exciting race of the day was the half mile in which Adslt or Princeton and Deming of Yale strug- gled superbly for the first honors. Ad- sit took the lead as the bunch of seven runners entered upon the last lap. Dem- ing caught him just as he pulled lllo the stretch, and for the last hundred yards they went neck and neck. Deh- ing won by throwing himself tor"ara bodily. He was picked up Dleeulns oiie. almost unconscious and was cheereo roundly by the Princeton men.
 Great interest centered around the hammer throw, for De Witt, the cham pion, was pitted against shevi1n, who defeated him a few days ago at the University of Pennsylvania games. De Witt managed to regain his laurels Saturday by hurling the hammer lol feet 9 inches, nearly twenty feet fur ther than Shevlin. The games deVel- oped a find for the Tigers in Chapin, a postgraduate, who landed the mile run in 4 minutes 34 4-5s seconds. The uay was an ideal one for fast time. Ine track was as dry as a chip, and haruiy a breath of air was stirring. A DIE crowd attended the meeting.

Managers and Captains Arrested-The
 Crowds Make Big Demonstrations.
 Elizabeth, N. J., May 11.-Sunday baseball was stopped on the grounds of the athletic club yesterday after noon. Five thousand people swarmed from the bleachers on the diamond when after the first ball was pitched, Manager Burke and Captain Cava- naugh of the Stars, Manager Neubeck and Captain Luyster of the Norwoods and Umpire Bill Kennedy were placed under arrest by squad of policemen. A popular demonstration was feared. When the men were driven away to headquarters in coaches previously pro- vided by friends they were loudly cheered
 There was repetition of the same scene on the Washington grounds, where two other clubs started to play. When the coaches arrived at headquar ters several thousand people were con- gregated near the entrance. Captain Cavanaugh of the Stars was the first to emerge from the station house after furnishing bonds and he received an ovation. All the players gave bail to appear next Friday and drove away in their coaches.

A little Danville (Pa.) maiden only four years old and whose first name is Grace, belongs to the infant class in 8 Sunday school in that place. The teacher had told the children the story of Lots wife to inculcate a lesson in obedience. Having finished the story, she asked: "Now, then. who can tell me why Lots wife was turned into pillar of salt?'' The question was asked several times, the teacher expecting some child to an swer that she was punished for dis obedience. At last Grace said: 'Pleathe, Mith Skinner, know "Well," said the teacher, "you tell us, Gracie.'' T think it wath becauth she wath too fresh"

Honest London policem e n.

Josiah Flynt, whose studies of the stunder world" are so well known, has been devoting attention to the polica system of London, England The most striking facts, from the American point of view, that his observations res veal are: CD That tie force is cons posed mainly of honest and con-E scientious men; CD that politics is not allowed to play any part in the mans agement and direction of the organiza.1 tion; (3) that London is one of the safest cities in the world. As to police corruption in London, there is very little to report. MT. Flynt found noI corruption which could be compared with the blackmailing system for which the New York police have been 50 long notorious. Gambling is pun- ished speedily.

Halifax, n. s.. Oct. 29.-The declar-
alton that the relations between Can
ada and Great Britain cannot exist
much longer. was made yesterday by
newspaper supporter in the maritime
provinces of the liberal party. In the
course of an unusually outspoken edi-
torial, on the recent Alaska boundary
award. the Chronicle expresses what
lit says is the unanimous dissatisfaction
of Canadians at the action of the Brit
ish government in the matter The
paper says: This Alaska episode has
made 1t clear that our existing reia-
lions to the empire cannot be contin-
ued much longer. We are even now
at the parting of the ways. our sub
ordinate position has been so clearly
and so humliatingly revealed that II
must speedily become utterly unendur-
able
The Chronicle adds there are now
only two courses open for Canada:
complete legislative independence
within the empire, acknowledging the
sovereignty of the king of England
alone. or the status of an Independent
nation The paper says there is much
to commend the latter step in partIc-
ular because 1t would free Canada
from the danger of ever being en-
broiled with the United States on
account of its European connection and
at the same time would secure for the
dominion the benefit of the protection
of the Monroe doctrine.
