YALE FRESHMAN MISSING
went OH in Catboat on Monday After,
 noon With Friend,

noon With Friend.
 New Haven, April 15.-Nothing had been heard this morning of Lester c. Barton Of Chicago, the Yale freshman who has been missing since Monday afternoon, when he went with friend for sail in the harbor. The identity or his friend, who is supposed to have been a fellow student, has not been learned. It is known that Barton in- tended to return to the university Mon day evening, and it Is feared that the boat capsized.
 The boat, which they hired from James A. Austin, was an eighteen-foot catboat, named the Unio. According to MT Austin, the young men intended simply to take sail in the harbor, but late Monday afternoon craft answer ing the description of the Unio was seen labOring in the heavy sea off Mil- ford. Last night the owner of the boat made trip along shore to Bridgeport in search of the missing boat, but was unable to find any trace of her. He fears that the Unio capsized and that the men have been lost although he says the boat. was a seaworthy one and hat twice made the trip to Boston and return.
 Classmates of Barton were endeavor- ing to-day to ascertain the name of his companion. The fact that many men are absent for the Easter recess, how ever. makes it difficult to determine his identity. Beyond the fact that he was tall and wore a red striped sweater. the description given by the boat owner is meagre. Efforts were made this morning to get some news of the boat by communicating with points along the Connecticut and Long Island shores of the Sound. [ @

Wife of Professor at Rutgers College l
 Jumped Overheard.


 New York, April 15.-Little doubt is entertained here that Mrs Martha Ham, ilton Breazeale, wife of William E. Breazeale, associate professor of math- ematics in Rutgers college, committed suicide by jumping overheard from the Joy line steamer Fremont in the mid de of Long Island sound Monday night. Prof Breazeale and his brother-in- law, R. W. Prentiss. were at the Joy line pier today when the Fremont ar rived. They identified the hat, cloak and other articles left in the cabin of the Fremont by a woman who gave the name of Mrs Brown. and who is believed to have jumped overheard 1 from the toilet room window, as hay ! ing belonged to Mrs BreaZeale. l MT Prentiss said: '"There is no ques- l tion that the woman who disappeared from the boat was Mrs Breazeale The letter received by her husband Mon day said that her body would be found l in Long Island sound !"
 ] Mrs Breazeale was suffering from i'll, i. health and melancholia.

RAIN FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Baseball Out of the Question in This
 Weather.


 Weather.
 New York, April 15.-The National league was scheduled to open the baseball season to-day with games in St Louis and Philadelphia, Chicago playing in the former city and Boston in Philadelphia. Thus the followers of the game hoped to gather a few lines on the conditions of the eastern and western representatives of ths old league The enthusiasts of the metropolis have to wait a day longer for their opening game, the first game of the season in New York having been set for tomorrow, when the old Tivals, the Broolzlyns and the New Yorks, will make their initial appear ance of the year at the Polo grounds. It was well that a later day was set, the weather conditions here being such that baseball would be out of the question to-day.
 The American league teams have a week longer for practice, their season not opening until April 20, when Phil adelphia plays two games in Boston. The other teams of the league do not I take the field until the 22d, and the hrst game on the new grounds in New 1 York is set for April 30. Work on these grounds is now proceeding stead 1 lily. The Eastern league will start it's serious work on April 30, and the New ] York state league on May 8. By that 1 time, too, the western season will have opened and from ocean to ocean the American national game will be in full swing.

Hotel porter's Wireless Photography.

Hotel POFteF'S wireless Ie1eSr8phys
 have just made a discovery, knowledge of which may be of con- siderable value to travellers and tour ists. It is that there exists among hotel porters on the continent sys- tenn of wireless telegraphy by which the characteristics of visitor in the matter of tips are communicated from one hotel to another. The me dium of communication is the hotel label pasted on the visitors luggage, and the code is formed by varying the angle at which the label is placed. In one position the label means that the guest is worth cultivat ting and may be relied on for liberal &C., knowledgmento of services rendered; in another that special attention be- slowed upon him will be entirely | wasted: How far the system prevails l cannot say, but 1 am satisfied that it exists. Travellers, therefore, who 1 find themselves treated in the hotels | they visit should lose no time in cleaning the labels off their trunks.-~ London Truth.

AFFIDAVIT vs HEARSAY.
The Democrat Has Had An Average Daily Circulation Of Nearly
 5000 For The Past Three Months.

The Democrat is notin the habit of blowing or brag- ging about it's circulation, for the reason that it has not in reCentyearS found it nec- essary. The up-to-date mer- chants and business men
 have long since learned that it is at least as good an ad- Vertising medium as any in the city, and many of them
 have no hesitation in pro- nounCing it the very best. If we didn't have the circu- Iation this would not be so. The Democrat still main tains it's claim to fully as many readers in the city as any other paper published here. In the outlying dis tricts our circulation may not be so large. For the benefit of advertisers and a few doubting Thomases we present the following sworn statement for 8 m o n t h s ending Saturday, April 1 1 !.
