STRONG SWIM.

W. R. Pearson Makes Four Miles in
 15S Minutes.
 w. R. Pearson, acting physical direc- tor at the local Y. M. c. A., swan from Cox's on the West shore to the club house at Morris Cove yesterday in two hours and thirty-eight minutes. The distance Is three and one-half miles. according to one estimate, but a tug captain declares that it is three and three-quarters. Allowing for the inevitable zigzags made by swimmer it is nearly four miles.
 The Worlds Almanac gives the rec ord for four miles as forty-five minutes per mile. Counting the dist ance made by MT. Pearson as three and a half miles his time per mile was forty-fve minutes six seconds, certain ly a remarkable pace
 George D. Taylor, the manager of the association summer house, followed in a launch, as timer.
 Mr. Pearson says that at the end of the first mile he felt twitching in his muscles, which he relieved through massage, by rubbing his calves at each stroke, and by deliberately forgetting the crampish feeling. As far as the mid-channel he made good time, helped very little by the tide. But the last mile and half took him as long as all the rest of the distance

BABY BOYS
 ITCHING HUMOR
At Age of Two Weeks Great Sores Broke Out Head and Face Were Terrible Sight ' Treated by Doc- tors and Hospital but Child Grew Worse - Could Not Sleep.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 AT EXPENSE OF 75c.

q wish to have you accept this testi- monial, as your Cuticura has done so much for my baby At the age of two weeks his head began to break out with great sores and at the age of two months his face and head were an awful sight. l consulted doctor, who said it was nothing but light skin disease which the baby would soon get over. He seemed to get worse, so l called an- other doctor. His opinion seemed to be the same. They both prescribed medicine that did not do bit of good.
 "A friend advised me to take him to the hospital, which did. Two doctors gave me medicine that was in a liquid form. Their medicine did him no good. Nearly every day 1 would read a testi- nonial in regard to Cuticura and my wife thought she would try it to see if 1t would help the baby. Igota box of Cutlcura Ointment and cake of Cuti- cura Soap After using these he has become entirely cured. He couldn't seem to sleep as his face and head would itch so. What hair he had all fell out and to-day he has nice head of hair and his face is as clean as can be. (signed) c. H. Evans, 19 Allston St., Somerville, Mass, June ', 19O5."

YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
NORWICH WINS EXCITING TEN INNING CONTEST FROM BLUES.

Springfield Defeats Bridgeport s to 5--
 Hartford Downs New London to L.
 HoIyoke Takes One From Waterbury
 to 3.
 Norwich, Aug. 30.-Norwich won out from New Haven, to 0, to-day, in ten of the most exciting innings seen here this season. Cote's single, Goldens sacrifice and Lords rap to right field brought in the lone tally. After two- thirds of the fifth inning Umpire Rorty announced that the game would go un- der protest of Captain Tighe over a de- cision by the umpire declaring Stevens out at the plate, The bases were full when the trouble arose and Golden knocked to Bunyan close to and back of the bag Without trying for Golden Bunyan threw for the plate the ball striking Golden on the left arm, and Stevens crossed the plate. Rorty called the man safe at first, but out at the plate, and also sent Ball, who came in during the melee, back to third. Cap tain Tighe claimed there was no inter- ference and the runs ought to count. Rorty was surrounded by wild mob after the game but no blows were struck
 A great throw to the plate by Golden saved the game for Norwich in the fourth and Hannifln pulled down a liner with one hand which robbed Cote of hit, Both pitchers worked out of several bad holes Bunyan and Soffel led in the hitting.
 The score:
 Norwich.

pnLLARn PITS nAck.

Although elected by a substantial
majority over an opponent whose cam
paign was waged solely on the ques-
ton whether be was legally entitled
to compensation for the entire term
OF the succession TO Mr.. Burkett. or
only for that part of it actually served,
Congressman Pollard has nevertheless
decided to return to the government
the $1,000 in dispute. The letter,
which he has made public. transmit
ting his check for that amount to the
disbursing officer of the house is GER
tainly creditable to his sincerity. but
probably dismaying to his accusers.
Congressman Pollard admits that
he has found no precedent exactly on
all fours with his own case. and as
serts that under the circumstances he
does not want TO place himself in a
position of holding or claiming any
thing to which he has not a clear
right. Had he responded to the de-
mands of his political enemies during
the campaign he would surely have
been pilloried as confessing willful
wrong-doing and would have in no
way strengthened himself in the pub
lie estimation, whereas his present
course cannot fail to secure for him
credit, at least, for good intentions.
In the meanwhile. the public will
wait patiently to learn whether the
example set by Mr.. Pollard will be
followed by the late Candidate Shall
lenberger with reference to the mile
age which he drew from the govern
ment as congressman in reimburse
ment for railroad fare never paid out
when he rode down to Washington on
free transportation. If Mr.. Shallen-I
berger will now put it back" new
political standard will have been es-
tablished on both sides of the political
fence In Nebraska.
