SIGN LANGUAGE OF WINDMlLLS.
Births, Marriages and Deaths Re-
corded in Holland,


corded in Holland.
In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
newspapers, are indicated by wind
mills. When miller gets married he
stops his mill with the arms of the
wheel in slanting position and with
the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills, in token of the ceremony.
To indicate a birth, the wheel is
stopped with the arms in slanting
position, but at a more acute angle
than for a marriage, and with the two
upper sails unfurled. Should miller
die, the sails of his mill are all furled
and the wheel is turned round until
the arms form an upright cross, in
which position they are left until after
the funeral has taken place.

THE GALVESTON IDEA.
Created a New Form of Government
 in City of the South.

III 0 OAty VI tllc 6OuI1s
 "The most important experiment in civil government of the last quarter century in the United States" Is de- scribed by George K. Turner in the October McClure's Galveston: a business corporation" is a brilliant article on Galveston's new form of city government MT Turner tells how Galveston tried the old systems, and how they failed. Then great disaster fell upon the city, a terrible crisis confronted the men and women of Galveston; and the people turned, not to the mayor, but to body call. ed the Deepwater committee, busi- ness organization composed of repre- sentative citizens. And this body met together and founded the present government of Galveston--a commis- sion of five men, each one heading a department of municipal servics and managing 1t according to business methods.
 Mir Turner tells how the commis- sion found the city bankrupt, and raised her credit above par; how it found her town of vice and license, and created order; how # found hcr unclean and unhealthy, and cleaned and lighted her streets and stamped out disease
 The Galveston idea-the idea of putting ''the splendid, brutal vitality of great business organization" into the institution of the city government is a discovery whose success may moan tho home of fha Amorlcan ,>s<i zen. After the shame of the cities" must come their rehabilitation. Does point the way? 4

THE GROWTH or TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem {,
 Have No Bearing on Size.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
 Have No Bearing on Size.
 The Salvelinus fontinalis, which Is currently but inaccurately called brook trout, was supposed for many years to be small fish. Agassiz was largely instrumental In exploding this fallacy. It is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get Q six or seven pound trout of this variety. It is known that trout may grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There Is, however, great difficulty in account ing for Its variation in size.
 In northeastern Canada there are large streams and lakes In which only fngerlings have ever been found. In the immediate vicinity of such water three and four pound trout are quite common, and seven and eight pounders are not phenomenal. In all these wa ters crustacea do not abound; there are no small fish of any kind except small trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders. At some places, 1t is true, frogs abound, but, taken as whole. the difference in food supply is not an adequate expla- nation for the difference in growth.
 There Is no substantial difference in the waters as to temperature. size, ori- gin and course. Climatic conditions are the same. The small trout taken to virgin lakes in which there are no fish have sometimes grown to great size, have sometimes remained small and sometimes have not thriven. The an- glers who haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explanation of this peculiar condition of things. It is one of the mysteries which lend fascination to the art. You never can tell what Is going to happen when you go fishing."-St Paul Dispatch.

 There were three preliminary scraps of three rounds each and a semi-fnal In the first Jimmy Maher got the decision over Joe Smiley. In the second Joe Kane and Young Sielon put up good draw. The third try out was between Tommy Mitchell and Young Neary, and the latter put his man away in the first round. The semi-wind-up brought out Fred Smith and Jim Rowe. and after two rounds Rowe had enough.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
NEWARK OBJECTS.
Giants Denied Right to Play Baseball
 in Elizabeth. NJ


 Cincinnati, O.. Oct 31.-The New York National league club has been denied the right to play exhibition games at Elizabeth, N. J., the New ark club of the Eastern league ob- jecting, and in making the announce ment yesterday the National baseball commission makes wider ruling on the subject than heretofore an- nounced. A former ruling was made on an application by the Elizabeth club and applied to the playing sea- son, but in passing on the New York application the commission declares that at no time should such games be permitted unless the club locally interested consents and that the club opposing any National agreement must have not ineligible players.
 The application of Player Lewis D. Wiltsie, who left the Baltimore club last summer to join the York team in the outlaw league, for reinstatement, was denied yesterday, the commission declaring there were no extenuating circumstances to warrant his rein statement.

GRIDIRON NOTES.

Naugatuck and Crosby High are | going to get together again. Pennsylvania has no game sched- uled for the coming Saturday, so the team will have a chance to get in form for Lafayette, whom the blue and white meet the following week. The Tribune Juniors would like to arrange a game with any team in the state at 12O pounds average, the East Ends preferred. A game can be arranged by calling on Manager Lovett, 59 Fuller street.
 Only two of the Cornell regulars appeared for practice yesterday. The men are much depressed because of their defeat at the hands of the Priucetonians and the coaches Will allow them to rest for couple Of days.
 The All-Waterburys are getting in readiness for the game with Fort Slocum in this city next Sunday. The latter team is supposed to be as good as the Fort Hamilton eleven. and 1T 1t is the spectators will get run for their money.
 The Tigers despite their hard game of Saturday, had 8 vigorous practice yesterday. From now on the greater part of the time will be given to secret practice. From this 1t is evident that practice behind closed gates is not regarded the same at Princeton as at Harvard.
 The muscle bruises which Roome, Yale's fullback, received last Satur- day and during the preceding game, might keep him out of the game much longer than it was first expected. AL tough Roome perhaps Is not the equal of Mccormack of Princeton, he is improving every day and is valu- able man.
 The officials in the Princeton-Cor- nell game are receiving plenty of criticism for not penalizing the Tigers when Captain Dillon was elected from the game for slugging. According to the rules the Ithicans should have received half the dis tance between the ball and their opponents goal.
 The Ponies would like to play any team in the state. whose average Is 85 pounds. the Light Guards preferred Their lineup Is as follows: Bannon, center: Jessul. right guard: Chcroski. left guard: witzeman. right tackle; Gearn, left tackle: Carlin. left end: Duffy, right end: Camp. quarterback: Walsh. right halfback: Shea, full back: Templeton. left halfback. Any team wishing a game come around to the corner of Cherry and Vine. or write to F. Walsh. cepthin. 122 Round Hill street

JUVENILE COURT OF DENVER.
Great Judge Introduced into This In-
 stitutiOn Spirit of Humanity.

"A decent town of decent kids," is what Ben B. Lindsey, the just judge" Is trying to make out of Den yer. Lincoln Steffens, in the October McClure's. tells how Judge Lindsey founded his juvenile court, the most remarkable institution of its kind in the world, and of how he evolved new and more human method of dealing with child criminals" Story after story is given of the Judges encounters with the bad boys of Denver, stories full of pathos and humor. which throw revealing light on the thoughts and motives of chill dren. Judge Lindsey won the con fidence of the tough kids" He came down on the bench to the boy, and got boy to tell his side of the case. And the children who lied to their teachers and their parents told the truth to the judge.
 "As they begin to tell him things bit by bit he expresses no horror. only understanding" writes MT Stef- fens; The sympathizes with feller. If kid describes how he saw an easy chance to steal and not get caught, the judge exclaims: Gee, that was a chance. That's certain. But 'taint square, Hank Mistake after mistake is confessed, weak ness after weakness: no crimes, you understand. for the kid and the judge. they see things through the kids eyes. with all the mitigating circumstances"
 Mir Steffens declares that the judge is the leader of most of the gangs of Denver. and that the boys do not wait to be summoned before him: they come of their own accord when they are in trouble or want ad- vice.
 "One afternoon. a boy of about ten years stuck his head into the door of the Judges private room.
 Is the judge in 2 he asked.
 "'Yes.' said the judge.
 "'Is this him 2 the boy asked.
 "'Yes, my boy. I'm the judge"
 "'well. I'm Johnny Rosenbaum. and I came down to see you
 "'Yes |! I'm glad you've come. John. but what did you come for 2
 Well. he said, Joe Rosenthal, he used to come down here. and he "swiped" things once. And I "swiped" something. and he said l better come down here and see you about it.
 "'All right. but what have you come to me about it for 7
 The tears started. We'll he said. T came down here to tell you I'd cut t out. and never do it again. And I thought I better get here be- fore the con did. Joe said the COD 'ud ditch a kid that "swiped" things. but that you'd help a feIler to ditch the swipin'.'"
 This is undoubtedly the leading article of the month. No such constructive treatment of the subject of juvenile crime. its causes.

 The civil league and a number of local clergymen took exceptions to the attraction on the ground that 1t was liable to corrupt the morals of the public. The police commission, to which the complaint was made, voted to revoke the license.

THE GRIDlRON
VILLANOVA BEAT
 SWARTHMORE
Scored But Once But Worked the Forward Pass in Good
 Form.

Swarthmore, Pa, Oct 31-Swartll- more varsity yesterday afternoon journeyed to yillanova for hard practice and was not disappointed. Villanova easily excelled the Quakers on forward passes and gained ground quite consistently with this method of attack. She made her only score, however, by picking up a fumblcd ball and running 1t across the chalk line. Otherwise the Swarthmore de- fence was excellent, though Coble, the giant center, was missed. There was no one to open up big gaps In the line for the baks to plunge through. Pitchard. the right half was used in this position, but he Is mex perienced. Coble should be in good trim for the game with the navy team however. If not 1t will be a hard proposition for Coach Brooks to solve. It is expected that Barrett will soon be in togs. The expectation of his immediate eligibility is a source of joy to the coaches as he is. without doubt, one of the best backs in the east.

The usefulness of urban libraries has been proved up to the hilt. but the question arises why similar advantages cannot be supplied In rural districts. As a matter of fact. they are more needed in the country than in the towns.
