 Yale signalled the opening of it's base ball season yesterday by defeating the Trinity college nine by the score of Il to o at Yale field. Yale played thirteen men during the game, and tried out her three pitchers. MacKay. Allen and Jackson. MacKay showed up remark ably well in the box, and it is evident that this position will be better filled than last year. MacKay has some clever curves and can send in some speedy ones.
 The team received loud applause when they came on to the feld, and as each man came to the bat he was cheered separately Winslow as backstop show ed his old time form with little im- provement added to it, the work Of the whole team being of a character to create a hope in the minds of the col- legians of having a championship team Trinity never came near scoring throughout the game which was not the fault of Grange, who played a steady game except in the second and fourth innings, and had excellent control of the ball
 The final score was as follows:

LocAL BROKERS suED.

Deputy Sheriff William E. Higgins was given papers of attachment to serve in suit brought by Anthony Blum of Boston against Yeomans & Dill, the New Haven brokers yesterday. The sheriff was authorized to attach property to the amount of $6,000 or in lieu to take the bodies of the brokers. The suit is returnable to the Superior court at the April term.
 The writ alleges that certain stocks were purchased on margin by the brok- CTS for MT. Blum and that when he visited the defendants last week with the president and teller of local bank, and rendered $26,OOO in gold coin in full payment for the stocks. the brokers did not deliver them. Hence he sues for conversion.
 Another suit brought in December by the same plaintiff for $SOO0O was yester- day withdrawn from the Superior court. This suit was for non-performance of specific agreement and was demurred to on the ground that no tender was made for full payment on the stock. The stock involved is identical in each suit
 Bernard E. Lynch appears for the plaintiff and J. Birney Futile for the defendants.

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or
carly developed tendency to
torturing, disfguring humors

an object of the most tender

its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfgu-
ration is to be lifelong and mar
its future happiness and pros

duty of mothers Of such aflict-

Suggested CHANGES.

l have given an outline of what the
Kansas banking law is. There are some
improvements that could be made. The
law should provide for a graded CAPITAL
ization. The minimum capitalization for
which bank can be organized-ten thou
sand dolIars-is probably sufficient for the
smaller communities in the state. but 1t
should be gradually increased such in
crease being regulated by the size of the
town in which the bank is located The
wisdom of such provision would seem to
be self-evdent

appoints a receiver and the banks affairs
are wound up under the supervision Of
the court through such receiver The
banking department practically loses all
control and has difficulty in securing anv
knowledge whatever of the condition of
such receivership. It would be better if
the appointment of the receiver and the
final closing up of the banks affairs were
left entirely with the banking department.

evident that the bank will not nav the
depositors in full the law should provide
that the receiver can proceed against said
stockholders for such double liability i'm
mediately after the closing of the bank.
Savings Banks.
In a decision rendered by our supreme
court last May what was supposed to

declared to have been repealed by the
enactment Of the general banking law Of
1897 and Kansas is left without any saw

carried upon our railroads is greater than
the combined freight of Europe, Asia and

out. both ways. at London and Liverpool
from all the nations of the earth. The
tonnage that comes down to Chicago
alone is greater than the tonnage of
freight that goes through the Suez canal
from all other nations of this world.
The railways of the United States are
one-half of all the railroads of the earth.
They carry more passengers in the United
