Cole of Middle and Wadsworth streets,
was drowned in a stagnant pool near
the Patent Cereals works. The lad, with
his older brother and Walter Barton,

to go on a fishing excursion. They were
fishing along the tow path when the
younger Cole went in search of a tin
can in which to put any possible catch

When he did not return in a reason

A TRIP TO CUBA.
A Number of American League Bah
Players Plan an Outing.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 2.-PIans are
being materialized by a number OF
American league players for another
trip to Cuba this fall after the close
of the championship season. Five or
six years ago such a trip was made
and ever since the players, who We're
members of the Brooklyn and New
York clubs at that time, have been
anxious to repeat it.
Jimmy Callahan is engineering the
trip now contemplated. Letters have
already been written to the president
of the Cuban National league and
some OF the club owners asking when
the championship season closes that
the American nine may not interfere
with the regular schedule of the Gu
bans. When replies to these letters
are received more definite arrange
mentS will be made.
When the Brooklyn and New York
teams went to Havana they found the
season there had not closed. They
planned to play exhibition games be-
tween themselves, but the Cuban
teams objected to having the foreigner
cut In on their season in that manner
and the people favored them. The
New York club soon returned, satisfied
there was not enough money under
the circumstances for two teams. The
Brooklyn men stayed and cleaned up
quite a bit playing exhibition games
with the Cubans and with army mines
organized in Uncle Sans regiments,
which were quartered near the city at
that time.
1t is hoped to avoid any conflict
with the native players by not going
to the island until their season is
closed and then playing two or three
times week for a couple of weeks
only. The Cuban National league is
composed of clubs in and about Ha-
vana, making it possible for an Ameri-
can team to meet all of them easily.
Several American leaguers have al
ready signified their desire to go on

intention to make it an AlI-American
league aggregation. "Jiggs'' Donohue

thing be favorable

NEW WAY TO HATCH CHICKS.
Henry Decker Utilities the Heat Cen
Grated by Bees.

Geneva. O., Aug. 2-Henry Decker of
Hartsgrove has new and novel way of
Matching chickens and enjoys the reputa-
ton of being the first man to use this
kind of an incubator. He uses the heat
generated by bees and says that he can
hatch 100 chicks from 100 fertile eggs in
10 days.
This beats the old hen by two days and
every farmer who knows how to handle
bees might profit by this suggestion. If
one colony of bees can be made to DO the
and also produce from 40 to 400 pounds
of honey-which Mr. Decker says is pos
sible-it will not be long until bees are
as rural mail delivery and telephone ser
vice.
Mrs. l.. W Brown of North Geneva
threw the contents of a can of fermented
fruit out to the hens, and in a short time
they were staggering about under the
load like an old topper on his regular
spree.
