New Major League Record Es-
tab|ished in Boston,
Philadelphia and Boston Played Near
iy Five Hours. the Score Resulting
to in Favor of the Visitors.
Fielding of Both Teams was Excel
lent

boston, September IA new major
league record was established today
when the Philadelphia American
League team defeated Boston to | in
twenty-four inning game lasting
nearly five hours. An advertised
double header brought a large crowd
to the grounds but it was impossible
to play the second game on account OF
darkness.
On but one occasion so far as record
ed has this number OF innings been ex-
ceeded. In 1895 a game between Fargo
and Grand Forks, at Devils Lake, n.
D., lasted % innings.
The second longest game on record
prior to today's contest was the Har-
vard-Manchester game of "a innings
played in Boston common twenty-nine
years ago.
But three major league games ap-
proach the present record, each having
lasted twenty innings.
Coombs pitched one Of the strongest
games ever seen in this city five times
passing dangerous batsmen only to get
the next man. He struck out eighteen
men and was batted safely fifteen
times. The pitching of Harris equall-
ed that of Coombs for % innings, but
in the last inning he weakened after
the Athletics had scored and was hit
for two three baggers. The fielding
was necessarily excellent.

That this small HobenzolIern was a chip of the old block, however, is evil denced by the story that in his play with his brother, the handsome Eitel Fritz, the latter in some way displeas- ed the elder, who attempted to pum- mel him, saying: "I'll teach you who is
 Crown Prince!"
 On his return that evening the En- peror was told of the occurrence, and
 calling the beir to the throne before him, made him tell his version of the story
 Quite right" said the Emperor, when the boy had finished. "and now I shall teach you who is Emperor' whereupon he administered a severe rebuke to the Crown Prince. The relations between parents and children, however, are of the tenderest;
 and during the few weeks that the
 Emperor sends at Wilhelmshahe every moment that he can spare from affairs
 of state is devoted to his family.

BLESSED WoRDS.

The old lady who liked to hear that blessed word Mesopotamia had the right idea of some things. There are words which 1t is a blessing to hear or say. The Initiative and Referendum, for instance. Who that is anybody doesn't feel bigger and better when hearing or saying those noble and sono- rous words? How expressive and i'm pressive they are! There is also bless ing in that good word Civic, and we re- joice that it is figuring so much and so well in New Haven just now. It is a smooth word, and it means lot. Per- haps the use of it can be overdone, but we don't see how, It certainly hasn't been yet. Nobody is tired of it, and if anybody should be and say so he would only stamp himself as not being one of US. If anybody is so foolish and base as not to want to be one of us we can afford to let him go, even If his base ness and folly take one member out of the ranks of The Associated Societies. Let us all continue to hang and sing and shout together for Civic this and that until we get all there is out of the word.
 We were deeply pained to read that at meeting the other evening a rude man said this: "There has been an organization of societies in New Haven to preach Civic Betterment' to you But they cannot do anything for civic betterment as they do not know any thing about it" Of course there is no truth in this assertion, as even the man who made it will ultimately see. Those who are blessing themselves and us by their frequent, discriminating and pow erful use of the word Civic well know what they are about.

PROGRESS IN ITALY.

Woman has long looked up in Italy, owing in part to her habit of carrying things on her head Now she is look ing and stepping higher than ever, The question of female suffrage is one of the questions of the day in Rome. The excitement began with the successful application of Signorina saechi, doctor and professor of mathematics at Man. tua, which was followed iby the inserip-
 ton upon the lists of married wo- man, wife of a Syndic and teacher in the normal schools. Now at Imola, the names of no fewer than forty women, married and single, have been placed
 upon the lists, The communal and pro- vincial law expressly excludes women from the roll of administrative electors.
 but there is no such proviso in the law

MILITARY SURPRISES.

Nothing has been more surprising during recent years than the revelations of efficiency made in war, It was dis covered in our war with Spain that the man behind the gun knew his busi- ness better than he was generally sus- pected of knowing 1t, When Japan be- gan to light she astonished the world with her skill, and the astonishment grew and is hardly done growing yet. If France ever gets a chance the talk is that she will surprise the world by the quality of her artillery, Testimony concerning the situation is given by a distinguished Mexican officer, General Manuel Mondragon, the inventor of a rapfd-flre gun which Is well known not only in Mexico, where the army has adopted it, but is favorably regarded in military quarters elsewhere, This off, cer's observations of the French army coincide Witi1 those Of other observers as to It's high state of efficiency at the present time. General Mohdragon es- peclally testifies to It's excellence in ar tlllery. Being an artillery officer him. self, his testimony on this point can be regarded as valuable, and he says that the French artillery corps is in the front rank, commanded by officers of the highest scientific training. under whose direction the powerful automatic guns of the French artillery are direct- ed with a precision which General Mon dragon believes would be a great sur prise to the artillerists of the world
 Perhaps by and by all the armies will be in such shape that there will be no use fighting, and international com- plications can be settled by military re- views,

KAIRER's FAMILY AT PLAY.
Unconventional Doings of Imperial
 Princes When in the Country.

Unconventional Doings of Imperial
 Princes When in the Country,
 The German Emperor and his family spend their summer vacation in the castle of Wilhelmshobe, near Cassel.
 As Described by writer in Harper's Bazar, 1t is really @ vacation. Here is seen the domestic side of the royal picture which appeals so strongly to the German. The Empress is not alone the first lady of the land-she is the first mother in the land.
 The aristocracy may grumble that she neglects her social duties and culti- yates too closely the famouse three Ks recommeded by the Enperor-Kirche, Kinder und Kuche (church, children and cooking)-but 1t is precisely be- cause of this that the bulk of the Ger man nation have enshrined her in their hearts.
 As spring changes to summer and the date set for the Empresss arrival draw near there toll up the wooded slopes of Wilhelmshohe vans of gigantic size, de- posting furniture, provisions and trunks at the schloss, which opens wide it's windows to the morning sun light.
 In the ground an army of peasant women in blue cotton gowns and white handerkerchiefs rake and hoe, prune and plant, till the flower beds grow fairly riotous with blossom.
 Carriages and vehicles galore and all sorts and conditions of horses come by one to the stables, and at the en- trance to the wooded bridle path, which we regarded as our own special property, a polite notice was posted that it was for the very most highest personages reserved"
 Several years ago, when the Grown Prince was still boy, we used to have glimpses of the mother playing tennis on tho lawn with her two eldest sons and a lady in waiting; or of the whole party sitting round the supper table on terrace of a warm summer evening. In- deed, the Princess seemed to be omni- present, and every one had different tale to tell of them.
 One morning as the artillery was coming in from it's daily Dienst, the Crown Prince, with his legs apart and his hands in his pockets, was standing at the entrance to the barracks, watch ing the long train of guns and horses | file by.
 Ills tutor reproved the boy for his attitude, with the remark; 'Tht Crown Prince never stands in that position!" "Oh. bother Crown Princes!'

relating to the political electorate. It is true that this contains no allusion to the possibility of women having the right to the suffrage, and that electors are always spoken of in the masculine, but the women's supporters make the familiar claim that in law this always includes both sexes, unless otherwise stated. Few persons believe, however, that female suffrage is yet matter of practical politics, or that so fundamen~ tai a change in the parliamentary rep resentation can be brought about so easily. The applications are thought to have been made more with a view of educating public opinion, than with any hope of immediate result. As a matter of fact, the electoral lists are sifted two or three times before the right to vote is recognized, and even on the polling day objections may be lodged against votes of doubtful legal ity.
 Of course it may take awhile to over come ancient prejudice, but she will get there in Italy, as elsewhere.

POETRY, ART AND THE MACHINE

POETRY, ART AND THE MACHINE.
 Poetry and art have these many. years pictured the labors of men and women in the harvest field. From Ruth the gleaner, to Millet's Reaper we have read the long, melancholy story of the toilers gathering with crude, wasteful, inhuman handtools the crops of the world that the nations might have bread. Rightly understood these two women living so far apart, are pathetoic monuments to the as- founding stupidity that could permit such things, when, as we now see, by taking thought. a machine can release humanity from such senseless labor
 With singular perversity artists have delighted to paint pictures of foolish toil Even now the critics tell us that neither the mower, the reaper, thresh- ing machine of the sulky ploy are fit

subjects for picture. Never was there a greater blunder. The glory and majesty of our mighty harests, won for the feeding of the world with so little labor that the vast wheat fields seem lonely, the smoking clouds of chaff and straw blown high in the air from whirring threshers, the great companies of men and horses march ing to the horizon as the blows turn wide sweeps of sod to the sun, the gang drills sowing mile-long lace-like threads over the brown and a hundred other scenes are fit themes for any poet. In our fields are no sad null titudes of il-paid short-Iiyed peasants, crushed and bent by the iniquity of the sickle. Why sing the sad Song of the Reaper" when grand, inspiring epic of the harvesting machine awaits the poet, and painter who can see and un- derstand ?-Reader.

Nor LONG ENOUGH.

Secretary Bonaparte, of the Navy, is perhaps not in love with officeholding, but he contends that the term of Sec retary of the Navy should be extended to seven years, so that intelligent and long observation could be brought to bear on it's management. Under the present system, says the Secretary, it is very easy for the Secretary to be- come an ornament, and it Is necessary that the incumbent should as much as possible be a man of a certain amount of positiveness. Unfortunately, the length of his term, being but four years, subjects his office to rather too freouent changes, and while he may possess all the desirable qualities. from the fact it takes him at least one year of his term to become acquainted with his duties and associates, any thorough changes in the methods of the depart ment are very difficult.
 There is much truth in this. The people of this country have been afraid to let their servants stay in office long enough to become rulers but there are many offices in which the terms are too short, and in which the frequent changes make much trouble and ex- pense. A Secretary of the Navy cer- tainIy can't do much in four years even if he wants to.

A notable departure in education is being made in Switzerland, where, at zruch, an astronomical observatory for popular use is under construction, and will be opened this summer. The idea is to extend the knowledge of the no- blest and most ancient of all the sci- ences by revealing the wonders of the heavens as seen through a high power telescope to any person who pays a small fee. and 1t is expected that schools and societies will avail themselves fully of the privilege.

He slipped on d snow couloir and fell till he struck a rock, dislocating an ankle and lacera- ting a knee. For four days he crawled over broken ice and moraine, half the time in a severe snowstorm, and at last made bivouac under the shelter of a rock. He lived ten days on one day 8 food. After the gallant fight for life he was rescued finally by New Zealand guides who, in the search for him, un- derwent privations almost equal to his own.

There isn't any such thing as luck, but it turns out that the seller of Lord Nelson's General Memorandum" to his captains at the Battle of Trafalgar, who got $1SOOO for the manuscript, is a London bus driver. His father was a servant of one of Nelson's admirals who gave him an old desk which chanced to contain the historical docu- ment. Of it's true value the bus driver learned through a chance conversation with passenger who sat beside him. The man has invested his $1SOOO and still drives his bus.
