a NEW DIsPFNsARY IDEA.
Said to Have Originated With
Member Of the Board.

a dispatch from Columbia says a
well defined idea has taken root in
the mind OF the State board Of con-

houses in the sale Of bottled goods as
agents OF the dispensary system

Some years ago some such plan was
suggested and urged. How 1t will
now take is uncertain and doubtful.
The pan Is to see If such firms as
Saml. II. Wilson, Klinck- -Wycenberg,
Welch u Eason, and other firms OF
that standing will consent to sell the
finer grades Of liquors and wines for
the dispensary under the dspensary
regulations. The idea is just now
being particularly pressed by one
member OF the board of control and
he hopes to see his views carried out.
He urges that sach agencies will pop

WE ARE NOT WORLD RULEns

The Government of the United
States was organized solely for the
people Of the United States. While il
was contemplated that this country
should become refuge for the oppress-
ed OF every land, who might be fit to
discharge the duties OF our citizenship.
and while we have always sympathizcd
with the people of every nation in
their struggles for self-government,
the Government was not created for a
career of political or civilizng evangc.
llzation in foreign countries or an ong
alien races. The most efficient work
we can do in uplifting the people of
olher countries is by the presentation
OF q happy, prosperous self-govcrning
nation as an ideal to be emulated, a
model TO be followed. The general oc
cupation of our citizens in the arts of
peace, or the absence of large military
armamentS, tends to impair neither
patriotism nor physical courage. and

THE DIAMOND.
FITZPATRICK
 IS DOWN
Tommy Dowd Made Cap- tain of the HolyokeS.-Re- suits of Games Played in all Leagues Yesterday.

Holyoke, June 24-Thomas J. Dowd has been made captain of the Holyoke base ball club, President P. H. Pnndi- vile announcing the selection. Dowd, a Holyoke fayorite, Is to have full charge of the players and his supervis- ion of the players on the field is to be without the interference of any of the club owners.
 Tn removing Frank Fitzpatrick from tho position he has held since base ball was introduced in Holyoke year ago, President Prindeville has introduced a sensation. There has never been eyen a slight question raised regarding the ability of Fitz to successfully handle base ball club, and there were many disgruntled ones this spring when it was announced that Mir PTindiville, as president of the base ball association, had decided to take the management of the club and have Fitzpatrick serve only as captain. The plain duty ap- peared to many to be be the appoint ment of Fitzpatrick as capta1n-man- ager. with full power to make changes in the team. Fitzpatrick has labored with men who were not hitting and a team that has only one pitcher in win ming condition.
 There has been harmony in the af fairs of the association only with the aid of strong words. President Prindf- vile has been interfered with frequent 1y and Fitzpatrick has never been any thing but an abused fgurehead, fact that honest lovers of sport cannot help but appreciate. A recent instance of the workings of the Holyoke club was provided by one of the directors. He had read frequently of the likelihood of Landy being released as soon as Batch got into the game. Monday night the intention of President Prindiville was told to this director in confidence and the latter promptly circulated the report that L1andy had been let loose.
 This created assertions that were both premature and ancient the fact that Batch was to play third base, re- placing Landy, having been first men, toned weeks ago. The release of Lan- dy didn't come until Wednesday. when it was decided to try Rossman in the game. President Prindiville feels that his associates should deal with him frankly The general confusion in club affairs isn't helped any, either, by the re- moyal of Fitzpatrick He came here and was Dan O'Neil's most valued helper in landing pennant winner. He mer1ted higher reward than the captaincy this season.
 Dowd is a well liked player who has always been noted for ability as an in- side worker. If President Prindfville has in him a better leader than Fitz- patrick, he is one of the most richly blessed base ball magnates in the land, For making the discovery he will get great honor, too, when events show the wisdom of the move. Dowd will get no more. faithful service than that granted by Fitzpatrick. who in speak ing of the change, said that he would always be willing to play his hardest for Captain Dowd, whom he believed

WRESTLING.
ARRANGEMENTS con-
 PLETED ON SATURDAY

The match between Conrad of Oak vile and Lawson of Naugatuck still hangs fire as the arrangements were not completed last night This was owing to death in the family of MT Suspicion of Naugdtuck, who will manage Lawson and will back him. The match will be made. however, on Saturday night, when both sides will get. together in the Democrat office and sign articles. There is no back down on either contestants part and each is eager to get on the mat with the other. In all probability the match will be pulled off in whichever town or city the best inducements are offered whether in the open air or in some hall
 When the principal match is ay. ranged the talk on preliminaries WEI begin. Already many names have been proposed, but it is expected that four of the most evenly matched wrestlers in the state will be paired off. It is safe to wager that there will be more money up on the tour nament, both in the matter of purses and side bets, than was ever heard of in wrestling contest in New Eng land.

Cor bett as to the possibility of meeting Young Corbett here in their already ar ranged match According to the agreement says Britt, i've are to fight in December, but if an induce ment is offered I am sure the agree ment could be altered to the effect that the battle could take place in St Louis during the season when St Louis is full of worlds fair visitors. I will stay as long as I can and then go on west, where have some business that needs attention Young Corbett? He's the greatest little fighter I ever met. but I won. That's all I care to say about the last fight. Watch the next one.''

pLUCKED THE POOLS.
Waterbury Sporting Men Spring a
 Surprise at Newburg Races.

Yesterday afternoon there were three races pulled off at the trotting park i'll Newburg, N. Y., but the last race furnished the surprise of the day. There were seven starters in the race and three favorites were backed in the pools for whole lot of money. The three were King Mus covite, Captain Half and Jeff Me Gsegor. They sold for S2O each and but very few took advantage of the field. There were three or four Wa terburians present, however, who had took the field for a nominal sum. A dark horse had been entered by the sports from Waterbury, Midnight Hal owned by Dr Ryder of this city. The first heat was taken by King Musco- yite and immediately there was a plunge on the horse while field again sold cheaply. Again did the Water bury sports take .up all the fields in sight and in the second heat came the surprise planned. Midnight Hal quietly walked away with the heat and the following two heats went the same way. There was some talk of protest, but everything was on the level, but the Judges believed the driver of Midnight Hal did not do his best in the first heat and as conse- quence Sheldon, who drove the horse was fined $50 This was easy money for the winnings on the horse must have netted q pretty tidy sum. The race was the 2:20 trot aud the time made was as follows: 2:211s, 2:2ON, 2;20. 2:19.

YALE WAS BEATEN.

Cambridge, June 24-In game played before 18,O0O persons Harvard defeated Yale on Soldiers field yes terday afternoon by the score of 5 to 3. It was far from the sort of base ball that the two big colleges should be playing at this time of the year. Both teams seemed listless and after Harvard got a safe leadA she went completely to the bad.
 There was. but 8 single sensational play during the entire game and that did not come until the seventh inning, when little O'Brien. shortstop for Yale, caught q burning hot liner from Matthew's bat. Tn the entire game there were but seven hits, Harvard getting five and Yale two, and but one of these was good for more than single.
 The crowd was the annual pictur- esque Harvard class day crowd, filled with color and motion and interest, but it was much quieter than usual. Harvard has taken the stand of not using organized cheering at baseball games and only three times yesterday was there q good old college yell by the Harvard cheering section. Yale, too, was quieter than usual, though the supporters of the Blue tried des- perately to buck up their team during the last three innings. The score:

BASEBALL NOTES.

Umpire Mulcahy got hit by foul tips twice in the same inning at Holyoke, and he was wobbly for few minutes after the first jolt. When the second came some of the players began to count 10, but the official wouldn't take it.
 After Saturdays game with Willi- mantle, the management of the Rock vile baseball club rendered Dan Man ley, the popular first baseman, his blue papers and the latter has signed to play with Middletown during the re mainder of the season. Dick Barry will succeed Manley on the initial sack and will make his first appear ance next Saturday.
 Terry Rogers may join his team mates. Terry has been rusticating at his home ever since the Worcester team ran shopt on the balance sheet. Terry is tickled because he is to play again in Norwich for he was always a favorite with the fans of the Rose City. Come to think of it, did Nor wtch get the title of Rose City because Jack Rose gave it its first crack ball team of recent years ?-Bridg dgeport Farmer
 That was wierd exhibition of the national game i'll Cincinnati when Walker passed 16 men to first and still won from Chicago. Tom Walker will be remembered as the giant twirler for Hartford two years ago. He has been complaining to the newspaper men in the Ohio city that he was not being given a chance. The manage ment has left him at home while on trips. The club owners could not have been judging very poorly, if Wednesdays work is a fair criterion of Toms ability.
 When Odell was fined and excomr municated at Holyoke Uncle Jeems O'Rourke could not believe his ears, and strode out to hear the truth from Mir Mulcahy himself. ,HYou don't mean to say that you fined hin.'' said the secretary of the alliance whence comes Mulcahy's all II do," replied the umpire .And it was $5?" quer- fed Uncle Jeems "It was i've" said Mulcahy He stroked his chest pad and smiled cheerfully.
