Bone, Canavan and McGrath to Prov idence.-Lowell Mail.
 It has been reported that Tibbetts of Lowell will be allowed to go west again, Count Lations being called up- on to replace him. Tibbetts has shown himself stronger than the Count this year, and there isn't much chance of Lations getting friskier.
 McGrath, the young halfback' who moved from Providence to Lawrence, is improving in each game and it is believed by players that he will devel- op into one of the best defence men in the game. McGrath can juggle and send the sphere up to the rushers, too. Exchange. %.....
 George Bone of the Providence team may play ball as member of some New England league team. Until Bone was summoned to Providence he was looked upon as likely to be with Providence. but now he couldn't get much besides grunts from the people in that place. ...
 At the beginning of the season there were few among the enthusiasts in Clinton who didn't think that Worces- ter had team that was far better than that of Manager Cannon. Now the Cannon Crackers are counted as pennant pluckers for sure.-Worcester Spy. ."
 Dave CusicIs says that he has quit the game. He refused to play last night. Manager Petty had little to say other than that he would have a good goaltender here from the east in Ia few days. He says that he has found Cusick manageable. The Muncie goaltender saw the game last night from a seat in the rear of the rink and praised the work of Smith very highly.-Muncie Star.

Peace Committee Holds Session With-
 out Results, but Expresses Hope.
 CINCINNATI, Jan. 1O-The base ball conferees were in session all day yesterday until late at night.
 The general discussion was opened by each, one of the eight conferees be- ing called on for an expression of opin- ion as to what he favored what he thought ought to be done, how it could be done and how far the confer ence should go. Then a general discus sion followed over the opinions thus expressed, some taking sharp issue with others, but all in a friendly man. ner.
 There seemed to be a consensus of opinion that it would be necessary to draw line in both the territorial and the player question and that the line would be drawn for things to remain as they were. at the time of the recent truce in the meeting at New York last month. This is accepted as meaning that about a score of players who have signed different contracts will remain where they were at the time of the meeting in New York last month.
 It was also accepted as meaning that the American league will hold it's fran chises for clubs in Pittsburg and New York, there being some doubt about Pittsburg, but none about New York. All the conferees were emphatic in stating that there had been no bitter words during the meeting.

A cnnntrx without Jcve1ry.

While the Japanese woman has re- ceived need of pity for her restrict ed life, one of her woes has not been taken into consideration. She has practically no jewelry. Nearly every oriental woman sis loaded with gold and silver ornaments, enameIs and precious stones. The Japanese de- bends on the flower in her hair to set off her beauty. Her to- bacco case or her pipe case may, it is true, be a marvel of the jewell CTS art, and she may have buttons, but these buttons are not the pretty trifes the American woman uses, but, instead, carved ivory objects, three or four inches long, or made from strangely shapedroots, and made into similitude of a human figure. They are interesting, but distinctly not pretty.

WITH THE HORSES.
Jockey Henry Will Withdraw His Suit Against French Club.

Milton Henry, jockey, who was dis credited on the French courses, leaves to-day for France son the steamship Graf Waldersee.
 Henry goes back to France to with draw his suit against the French Jockey club. The original suit. was a mistake, which Henry now recognizes, and there is every probability that this capable rider will be reinstated alo1w; with Rieff and the others who got in trouble over there.
 Henry made his argument against the French JocEaX club, while Reiff brought suit against the paper La Vie au Grand Air.
 Reiff secured judgment and dam ages against the paper, which stated that Reiff had pulled . certain horse. The nominal damages which the court allowed Reiff was practically certifi- cate of good character. Henry still needs some rehabilitation.
 The new regime established for turf matters in France which is to pass on racing complaints, is made up of men thoroughly familiar with the turf.
 It is a significant fact that the ma jority of these turfmen made affidavit in Reiff's favor. and all admit there would seem to be chance for both Reiff and Henry in France.
 Henry has several offers, one from w. J. ArkelI to ride for the Lotos sta ble, but until the matter of Teinstate ment in France is arranged he %ill not be able to ride anywhere.

George Seward Lays Claim to the

George Seward Lays Claim to the
 Fastest Time Ever Made.
 The following story sent to New York paper is, quite interesting:
 Having noticed a paragraph which states that Georgetown Duffy does not think he cln duplicate his record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yards, would like to state, and most emphatically, that 3-5 seconds is not the record Tor 100 yards, and never can be.
 George Seward of New Haven, Conn, (slmiliarly known to old sportsmen as the American Deer), has covered the distance in 9A seconds, which we think is a little better time than 3-5 sec onds. He not only did .-ils once, but repeatedly, both in this country and in England, defeating the best men the two countries could produce. among whom may be mentioned Charles West hall, whom Seward defeated in match race of 100 yards n 9A seconds. Il this fact did not prove his right to the record, his performance of running 2OO yards in 1872 seconds, which is SA sec onds for two consecutive 100 yards we think would prove him capable of mak-

BASKETBALL.

The Go c basketball team surprised even its most ardent admirers last night by defeating quintet from Go G, Fourth regiment, Danbury. The score was 2S to q. The Danburians have the reputation of being one of and the champions among militia teams. It can be readily seen then that the Go G boys are more than elated to have won from such a star team. A few weeks ago the locals went to Danbury and were badly de feated. Last nights score shows how they have improved since that time. The championship is now claimed by the locals, who intend to defend all corners. The playing was full of snap and dash, the work of both teams be- ing fast. The team work was first class. At the end of the first half the score stood 16 to 10 in favor of Dan- bury, but in the second half the locals showed their heels to the visitors and won out by the score of 2S to 24.

San Francisco, Jan 1O-It begins to look here as if Jimmy Britt and Young Corbett will soon hook up in twenty round contest at the San Francisco Athletic club. The only, obstacle in the way is the matter of weight. Britt wants it 13O pounds at o'clock in the afternoon, while, according to a tele. gram received here from Corbett at Hot Springs, the featherweight cham pion suggests 12S pounds at o'clock and 130 pounds at rignside.
 If Corbett consents to meet Britt the latter will abandon his theatrical en- agreements and go into training at once. "We have a bona fide backing for as large a sum as S1O,O0O for this match" Britt's manager says, " and all Young Corbett has to do is say the word and he can have that amount as a sf1e bet. The match ought to draw $20, eco, and we will make any terms about cutting the purse that MT Cor bett desires, except, of course, that he would request guarantee of so much money. win or lose.

E. G. Acheson, of Niagara Falls,
while he was searching for the best
clay to make crucibles, read the state
ments in the fifth chapter of Exodus
about the use of straw and stubble in
the manufacture of ancient Egyptian
bricks. He procured some straw, had
it boiled and mixed the dark red liquid
thus obtained with clay. He found
that the Elasticity was greatly in
creased. Investigation showed that
tannin was the active agent, and when
he treated other clay with a solution
of tannin in water he obtained sur
prising results. The strength and
