afford Of patience under provocation, of
logged determination under difficulties, of
unconquerable will and courage, holding
on so long and coming out triumphant at
last over such mighty opposition. These
great qualities, as we have already seen,
belonged to the man more than to the
soldier. 1t was indeed the great man
behind the soldier, the man with the
great patriotic heart, with the wise head,
and the lofty, mistaken soul, that
brought us through that long and tremen-
dous struggle and gave us our glorious
place and opportunity among the nations.

could have done it. Greene, among the
generals of the revolution, would have
come nearest to it, but he would have
failed.
But in looking over the whole field and
record, in the light of all the fncts and
history, 1t will be seen that Washington
made no military mistakes, that he i'm
proved nll his opportunities. that his
generalship will stand the test Of criti
cism. He struck whenever he had the
chance. his plans were good, and when
compelled. his retreats were mastery.

NEW HAVEN WINS AGAIN.
Five Men Dropped and Gorgeous Uni-
 forms Adopted.

IOIIIS AuOpteu. That New Haven finally beat Meriden out by the score of Il to g at Hanover park Saturday was due in part to good luck and in part to good batting.
 Feeling that payroll of eighteen players was a trif1e too large load to carry, despite the fast that all are capital opponents. President Dannaher Saturday issued passes to five of his men, and the names of Dupee, ,Accorsini. Butler, Twombly and Porter were strick- en from the roster. No fault whatever was found in the work of any of the quintette, the releases being the result of surplus of players, and the neces- sity of thinning the ranks. With the personnel of the team defin- Iitely settled, Manager Aufort went down to Gotham and left with Spauld- ing & Co. the measurements for the uniforms of the New Haven baseball nine.
 The color scheme of the outfit will be navy blue, with white stockings encir- cled with white stripes, Chicago caps of white with blue peaks, will be ef regle, while the jackets will be of grey, but toning-with brass buttons-down the front, and suitable for service in chilly weather.

CHECK swINDLER CAPTURED.
Captain Cowles Gets Man Who Had
 Worked Slick Game.

Captain Cowles Gets Man Who Had Worked Slick Game. c. M. Howe, who claims New York city as his home, was arrested Satur- day afternoon by Captain Cowles of the detective bureau, charged with passing fraudulent checks.
 Howe came to this city a short time ago with woman who claims to be his wife and furnished a house at All Orange street, with furniture amount- ling to about $175, which was obtained from a local credit house. Later he lrented a cottage for the summer at Merwin's Point of George O. Richards of West Haven. In negotiating pay Iment for the cottage, Howe gave two checks, one for s325, and the other for s25. In both cases the checks called for a larger amount than was necessary to settle the bill and Howe received about $S0 in cash in exchange. The
 checks were drawn on the Kansas City
 National bank.
 Mir Richards, when he came to cash the checks found that they were worth less. He complained to Prosecutor Bush os West Haven, who issued a warrant for Howe's arrest.
 The West Haven authorities were mo- titled of Howe's capture and Deputy
 heriff Orr came up and took Howe to West Haven where he was locked up. Howe is fine looking man of about
 45 years of age, and over six feet in height, weiglng about 250 pounds. The
 local police believe that Howe has been working this game all over the country
 with success and that it is probable that he is wanted in other places. Howe is held under $2,0O0 bonds and will be ar- raigned before the Borough court this Imorning.
