POLO PLAYERs ME KNOW.

The results of games played in the west last Friday night will be inter- esting news to many people in this city because of the players who for merly donned Connecticut suits. The games given below are taken from the Fort Wayne, Ind, News.
 SUTTON MADE GOOD.
 From the sound of the referee s whistle to the close of the game last night there was something doing at the rink all the time While Fort Wayne lost by the score of 5 to 4, the audience went away we'll satisfied that they had seen a polo game. It was fast and rough from the start and ended up in the third period with four men finishing the game on both sides. Leydon and Jean were ordered off the floor by the referee for fighting. While Leydon is hot-headed player and Always in the game, he had consider able from the big Frenchman. who was off In his playing in the second and third period. Leydon was work. ing the floor good and was continually taking the ball away from the center, who Is not used to that. Several times the big Frenchman deliberately tried to injure Leydon so that he would have to leave the floor until Billy" lost his temper and attacked the big fellow who is large enogh to make a meal of the little rush.
 In the first period Danville's de- fense was Impregnable, Jean and Har- dy breaking up the locals plays at will, but in the second and third pe- riods Fort Wayne started to win and would have pulled the game out of the fire if the trouble had not occurred It was an exciting contest. each team in the lead. Sutton's work in front of the cage was the bright feature of the game, he playing won- derful polo. The lineup and score:

When the last Sabbath OF his stay in
England arrived, he determined to
preach once more to his little flock and
to celebrate with them the Lord g Sup
per. In spite Of the protest of friends,
he carried out his intentions, altho
scarcely able to stand in the chancel. In
words Of melting tenderness he pleaded
with his people to live holy lives, and
when he took his leave Of them there
was scarcely a dry eye in the church.
The day had been well.nigh perfect, and
In the late afternoon, recovering some
what from the strain Of the service in
the church, he walked slowly and feebly
down the terraced walk to the water he
loved so well and which he was about
to leave forever. The spell of the hour
was upon the minister. While the bright
sunset colors faded into the sober grays
Of twilight, he slowly made his way
back to the house in prayerful silence
and went to his room. When he joined
his family little later he bore in his
hand the words that were destined to
move thousands. His prayer had been
answered. His last evening In his old
home had produced that which will be a
! blessing so long as the heart turns to its
maker for help in times Of need.

John Richardson. Hence came the
name and family Of Richardson. One

If we accept this theory, and we find
it advocated by those who ought to

The original meaning Of Richard is

Ricardus and Ricardo are early forms
of the name. From these have been

LITERARY WORKS OF JOHN HAY
TO BE PUBLISHED BY HIS DAUGHTER

The country approves of John Hays
selection of his literary executor. The
work of preparing the former states
mans papers for publication was be-
queathed by him to his daughter, Mrs.
Payne Whitney, who was Miss Helen
Hay. She has inherited much Of the
high literary talent of her father and
has been frequent contributor to the
leading periodicals of both prose and
verse. 1t will be her pleasant duty to
prepare for publication the many I'M
printed manuscripts from Mr. Hays
facile pen.
Mrs. Whitney's first published vol
ume of her own was collection Of
poems which appeared in 1898. Quite
lately, and principally through the in
f1uence of her children, she has col
lected a series Of charming stories for
little folks. Many of these have at
tracted critical attention through their
easily recognized smack of childhood's
hours. As possible explanation Of
how she was able to portray things so
genuinely from the childish standpoint
she has said that she has endeavored
always when writing them to bark
back to the scenes of her own child
hood, and to assist her recollection and
Imagination she has thrown herself on
the floor with pencil and tablet, getting
as near actually as possible to the
, youngsters point of view.
At the National Capital Miss Hays

and both there and In London her

the foreign sections of the cities in

drive out the moderately prosperous

it is only the paupers and the million

Ben Butler and New Orleans.

From the Buffalo Express
1t would have done Ben Butler good
if he could have lived to see the day
when New Orleans would welcome
Federal control of yellow fever
epidemic with such enthusiasm that
the citizens themselves would raise by
popular subscription the money 10 pay
for it as was recently done. General
Butler established Federal control of
sanitation as of everything else in New
Orleans during the war. He was
roundly abused for it, but he proved
the efficacy of cleanliness and strict
quarantine in preventing yellow fever.
