BLAME THE TYPEWRITER

Don't Blame Us, Say Cautious but
Hurried Business Men.
The phrase dictated, but not re-
read" is now occasionally seen
stamped or typewriter in the lower
eft hand corner of a typewriter letter.
This is the latest loophole of escape
adopted by cautious though very busy
men to avoid reading over the letters
they dictate and at the same time, to
explain any error made by a careless or
ignorant stenographer.
BY this simple expedient a business
man is able to af1lx his signature to
each of a pile of typewriter letters,
trusting to luck that no glaring mis-
takes have been made. Again, with
this printed explanation the business
man may leave before the days mail
is finished this explanation making a
personal signature unnecessary
This scheme for relieving oneself
from the results Of mistakes caused
either by the misunderstanding of a
word at the time Of debating or the
.stenographer's ignorance OF business
terms was first adopted by travelling
statesmen obliged to have most of their
correspondence done at hotels along
the route and never sure of the accura-
cy Of the stenographer available.
As in many cases a salesman is
obliged to leave for another city before
his letters are finished the necessity for
some euch explanation is obvious.
While a carbon copy Of each letter is
usually sent him at his next stopping
place, the original goes on to the head
quarters Of his company and sometimes
contains amusing mistakes, the result
Of ignorance of the terms used in his
particular line of business.
For instance, not long ago fire in
surance adjuster obliged to dictate an
Important letter Just before taking a
train was surprised on his next visit to
the home Office to find that only about
half Of his letter had ever been re-
ceived. About midway In the letter
the stenographer had inserted this
note:
Here the gentleman went 50 fast
didn't know what he said, but it was
something about a cross eyed agree
ment"
After little thought on the part of
the one who distated the letter he re-
membered, an expression with which
the hotel stenographer was evidently
unfamiliar
Another instance was the case Of a
young attorney who dictated a letter to
his stenOqranher asking, n brother law

THREE YEARLOLD DEER.

Cuts Up Many Capers in New London.
New london, NOV ia three-year-
old buck made its appearance in the
heart Of this city this forenoon, and
established record for eccentric move
ments. The animal was seen by ex-
Mayor Johnston at a. M, crossing a
park. At $50 it was seen on the shore
of Shaw's cove. Here it plunged In,
swan across and came out on bank
street, one of the busiest thoroughfares.
Alarmed 1t dashed through the upper
half of a jeWelry store door, the upper
half being formed of one large pane
of glass The deer turned around
again in the store and jumped out
again through the hole it had made,
crossed the street and took refuge in
an alleyway. Driven out 1t made a
clean jump over two-horse wagon
standing across the entrance, dashed
once more across the street, and into
the open door of a meat market a few
doors from the jewelers..
Half way down the market it en-
countered a butcher He was brushed
aside like chaff and the deer vanished
through the rear door like a fash aft

short turn to the door
Clearing fences and all obstacles the
deer was later seen near the Colt street

woods outside the city

TICKET SPECTATOR ARRESTED
Forced to Give Up His Football Tickets
at Face Value.

Ut It NSS tstluSs
Everard Thompson, manager of the
distribution of football tickets at Yale
gave out the following official statement
last night:
THE Yale university Football assoc
citation desires to warn the public
against purchasing tickets for the Yale
Harvard football game from speculat-
ors This warning is given in order to
protect innocent persons, because the
association is obtaining evidence of all
tickets offered for sale by SPECTATORS
and intends to take up all such tickets
by proper legal process. Persons pur-
chasing tickets from spectators will be
liable to lose the bonus pand for them,
and also denied admission to the game. >"
The crusade against the SPECTATORS
began in earnest last night when a
Spectator was arrested in front of the
New Haven house, and forced to give
I'D his tickets at their face value. The
speculator objected at first, and declar-
ed that he would not give up the tick
cts to the president of the United
States. He was arrested by a constable,
who accompanied the agent of the tick
ct association. He then agreed to sur
render his two tickets for four dollars
and was allowed to GO On the back
Of the ticket is contract by which the
football association may revoke any
ticket on the payment of its face value
This, according to the ordinances of
New Haven, makes the ticket license,
and not personal property. It is
therefore revokable This Speculation de-
olared that the two tickets cost him
$25 which made the transaction los
ing deal as far as he was concerned.
Albert Barclay of the firm of Ely
and Barclay is conducting the legal end
for the football association. He had
eight men patroling the streets on the
lookout for SPECTATORS last evening,
and is prepared to descend on them to-
day with all the powers of the law. The
association is determined to stop the
speculation to-day if there is any way
to do so.
Mr.. Thompson stated last night that
most of the tickets in the hands of
SPECTATORS are from Harvard Only

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were light
following yesterdays holiday but there
were plenty here to meet the requirements
Of buyers. The fact was no one seemed
very hungry for cattle of any kind and the
trade as q whole was dull and very much
of a drag from start to finish.
There were some pretty good cornfed cat
tie on sale this morning, and while the total
offerings were small buyers were very
slow about getting down to business. They
did not appear on the opening to care very
much whether they secured any fresh sup
plies or not. This naturally gave the mar.
ket a weak tone. Still. when they did sell
the good kinds, that is, those that were
thoroughly we'll finished, brought steady
prices. on the other hand half fed and
wamed-up cattle were slow and lower.
Packers are shipping in from the southern
markets a good many grass Texans, which
they are able to- secure at much lower
prices than cornfeds are selling for These
cattle naturally come into direct compeu-
ton with the poorer grades OF fed cattle
thus weakening the market on that kind
What has been said regarding beef steers
would apply equally well to the market on
COWS and heifers. While the supply was
very small, the market opened extremely
dull. The better grades finally sold about
steady, with other kinds lower. Cheap
Texas cattle are depressing the market on
common to medium kinds OF cows and the
feeling is that anything like liberal runs OF
grass cows would witness a decided redue-
There were no stockers or feeders OF any
consequence in sight and no noteworthy
