LYNCHINGs.
The lynchings reported for
1904 are but eighty-seven in
number, the fewest of any year
since 1856. 1t is also significant
that NO lynchings were reported
in November in this year. This,
too, is gratifying when it is con-
sidered that this is the only
month in twenty years in which
lynchings have not been report
ed. The lynchings in the var
ious states and territories were
as follows: Alabama 5, Arkan-
sas II, California 2, Florida 3,
Georgia IT, Idaho 1, Kentucky
4, Louisiana 2, Mississippi IS,
North Carolina /, Ohio 1, South
Carolina 5, Tennessee 2, Texas

these lynchings eighty-two oc-

the North. Of the total mum Der
eighty-three were negroes, four
whites and two were women.

sentence executions in 1904 was
116, as compared with 1913 in
1903. 80 legal hangings tcofE

wreckings for 1904 show de-
crease,s being only 81, ,742,5O7,
as compared with S6,562, 1856 in
1908, leaving out the losses of
Mrs. Chadwick's financiering,
which are as yet an undeter-
mined quantity.
EoMICIDEs.
The number of homicides, IN
cluding deaths by violence of
every sort, shows a small de-
crease being S,482, as compared
with 1915 in 1903. 1t ls again
necessary to call attention to the
increasing number of murders
committed by highwaymen, bur-.
glars, "hold-up" men and all
that class, it being 464, as COM
pared with 400 in 1903, 333 in
1912 and 1913 in 1901. Some of
the causes of these crimes may
be recorded as follows: Quarrels
4,181, jealousy 613, liquor $40,
insane 271, infanticide 153,
DISASTERS.

1905 RESOLUTIONS.

That we must do more business in 1905 than we
did in 1904. To do this we know that we are
going to have to make especial effort; as 1904 was
unusual prosperous year for everybody and
business was by far the largest in our history.
Ever since have been in business, our business
has always increased over the preceding year, so
we must not fail to have it so in 1905. With this
end in view always going to offer better
goods for the price or the same goods for a
less price.
During our large business of last year, if from
any cause of any kind any customer is dissatisfied
we must say that it is not our desire to have it so
and they will greatly obge ussto let us rectify it.
Thanking one and ali for past patronage and So

A PLEASING WOMAN.
Some Infallible Rules That Will Make You Agreeable in All
 Companies.

First-Remembe that good voice is as essential to self-possession as good ideas are essential to fluent language. The voice should be carefully trained and developed. A full, clear, flexible voice Is one of the surest indications of good breeding.
 Second-Remember that one may be witty without being popular. voluble without being agreeable, great talker and yet great bore.
 Third-Be sincere. One who habitual. ly sneers at everything, not only ren' ders herself disagreeable to others, but r,will soon cease to find pleasYAre ip life.
 Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open countenance and clear, cheery laugh are worth far more even socially than "pedantry in a stiff cravat."
 Fifth-Be amisble. You may hide a indictive nature under polite exterior for a time, as cat masks its sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least provo cation brings out one as quickly as the other, and ill-natured people are always disllked.
 Sixth-Be sensible. Society never lacks for fools. and what you consider very entertaining nonsense, may soon be looked upon as very tiresome folly
 Seventh-Be cheerful If you have no great trouble on your mind you have no right to render other people miserable by your long face and dolorous tones. If you do not you will generally be avoided.

THE DIAMOND.
ONE WON
 OTHER LOST.
Springfield Defeated Con. cord in a Close Game Holyoke Shut Out With. out a Hit by Fall River.

Springfield, Sept 14.-Having now won two straight games from the New England league champions while Holyoke has been drawing an even di- vision of honors in two games from the second place club In the rivaI cir cult, there is an opening for discussion as to whether the first-place team of the New England is as gigantic in playing power as the runner-up in the Connecticut circuit. The comparative score fiend can figure out Springfield as one of the greatest of minor league teams by following out what has hap pened in the league seasons and the games already played in the atter- series.
 Frank Eustace, who has acquired lots of skill as an umpire snamer slnce leaving Springfield a few years ago, worked Charlie Kennedy yesterday and then louded up because he couldn't always do it. Kennedy umpired a close and fighting game during which Concord wasn't doing enough hitting to have a chance to win, but was desperate enough to attempt any thing for a run. Eustace, who hand led nine chances at third base with out slip-up, tried to show his quail ties as diplomatic leader, and he got away with one move which cut down Pony chances of adding to the run list.
 In the sixth, when Springfield was batting Pitcher Frock, who is a Bos- ton National league piece of pitching apparel next season, and gaining chances for daring plays by the slab mans wildness, Robarge was adjudg- ed third out on a play on which the runner was safe. After skipping the ball near Robarge, Eustace ran in, and Umpire Kennedy, apparently de- ceived by the fine acting, called Ro- barge out. No Pony protest was raised.
 Eustace had quiet grouch on throughout. Tn the fourth inning he thought Crolius should have been put out on called third strike. the bah being one which was several inches Inside the plate. Failing to gain any thing at the time, Eustace waited un- til after Crolius. had batted over right field fence for home run. Then he unwound string of abuse on Umpire Kennedy, which player of Eustace's caliber should keep from getting to the surface.
 Until the ninth inning, when two of the Concord hits were made, the New England league leaders had made but tw6sof their hits off Bill Luby. Mon day only five were hacked out during Rogers term as pitcher, so the fact that Concord has been able to make nine hits and score but two runs In two games, indicates forclbly the mas tery of Connecticut league pitchers in the games already decided. The score:

Springfield will have Fall River on Hampden park this afternoon.
 Jack Hess or Lefty Rogers will greet the men who have beaten Holy oke this afternoon.
 Harris of Fall River Is not a bad hitter for pitcher, having batted for .237 during the past season.
 Most of the players on the Bridge port team have remained together and are doing transforming trip through Connecticut.
 The Boston Nationals will get a promising pitcher in Frock. He has a fine curve ball but he needs big league grooming.
 Dan Murphy's habit of winning games with home-run drives is one he contracted during his day in the Connecticut league.
 Pop Foster of Bridgeport is finish ing out the season with the Newark team the Eastern league and is said to be playing good ball.
 Little Hickman, the stumpy short stop, played finely for Concord. He made stops of real hits and narrowly escaped putting out runners at first base.
 Eustace, the Concord leader, found himself unable to lead his team to victory yesterday. so he tried to show up the umpire. Eustace knows better in his heart.
 There should be a banner atten- dance in Holyoke Friday when Fall River plays there again. The kind of ball furnished by Manager McDer- mott's team Is worth going to see.
 The Holyoke players are planning for a banquet in the Hotel Becker to- night. It was to have been held Sat urday but the players were obliged to leave for Stamford after the game.
 It will be a battle of champions on the Holyoke grounds today and there should be a generous attendance. as the Connecticut league pennant win ners would rather beat Concord than Fall River.
