Pie Cutter.

A California man thinks that the
common method of dissecting pies by
the aid of the ordinary knife is too
slow and also too inaccurate for these
days of hustle and hustle. He came
to the conclusion that a specially de-
signed pie cutter was necessary for
the purpose, and consequently con-
cluded to devise one, the result Of
his work being shown in the illus
tration. This pie cutter comprises a
base adapted to support pie of the
common size and shape. Hinged
to the back of the box Is the cutter
proper, consisting of lever and the
knife blades The latter are sus-
pended from the lever directly over
the place designated for the pie, and
are arranged to divide the pie into
six or more pieces at One operation

Speculation.

Morris Sellers Largey, the young
Montana millionaire, who is devoting
himself to the theatrical business, said
at dinner apropos of his new theatre
in New York:
81 think that theatricals offer fine
field for shrewd investors. They are
very steady They are not as the
slave trade was during the Civil War.
Perhaps you have heard of the
slave who wanted to buy his freedom.
This was before the war, and, since
he was very good slave, his master
would not sell him to himself at any
price.
But as the war approached its end
the master not unnaturally changed
his mind. He sent for the slave one
morning and asked him II he was still
of the same mind about purchasing
himself.
"The slave scratched his head, look
ed at the ground and faltered:
"'Well, Marse Henry, All did wanter

Collector of BabY Pictures.

hobby is collecting babies photo

LONGEST CIRCUIT.
How Telegraph Line from London to
Teheran Is Worked,


Probably the longest telegraph cir
cult in the world, says st. Martin's-le-
Grand, has been in operation for over
a year on the lines of the IndoEuro-
peon Telegraph company, between
London and Teheran, Persia's capital.
This circuit is 1000 miles in length,
and in its course it traverses the
North Sea for 200 miles and passes
through Belgium, Germany, Russia,
Turkey in Asia and Persia. The
Wheatstone automatic system Of
transmission and reception is en-
ployed on the circuit. By this sys-
TEN messages are transmitted at the
rate of from 80 to 400 words minute,
according to the nature of the circuit,
as against 25 to 35 words by manual
More transmission.
On the London-Teheran circuit
there are ten automatic repeating sta
tions.- namely, at Lowestoft, Emden,
Berlin, Warsaw, Rouno, Odessa,
Kertch, Sukhum Kaleh, Tiflis and
Tauris. The business for and from
Manchester and Liverpool is also han
died direct with Teheran.
1t will be understood that automatic
repeaters virtually take the place OF
operators at the repeating stations. In
the case of the circuit under consider
alton there are repeating instruments
and batteries at each of the ten re-
peating stations. AS the line is d.
vided into II parts, each part is com
paratively short.

THE DIAMOND
NEW YORK
 WON IN NINTH
Farley Held Them We'll in Check Until That lnniDg-All the
 Other Games.

John McGraw's bunch of wonder workers known as the New Works with Arthur Devlin, the dare devil comedian, were at Reidville yester- day afternoon where they defeated the locals by the score of to in a game which the home team almost won. Some say it was only little luck that the visitors won out while others were unkind enough to de- clare that the one time worlds cham pions were stalling, pointing to the fact that they waited until the ninth inning to make three runs. Just i'm agine that not until the ninth inning did one of the big fry reach second base. No wonder the crowd had cause to enthuse especially when Waterbury was pulling off some ex- cellent stunts in the field. Stall or no stall the game was good to watch and some were convinced that had not Sammy Strang been passed in the ninth, the result might have been different. The visitors had their regular line up with the exception of Dahlen at short, Jack" Hannafin who left our Bush league a year ago filling in there. Cecil Ferguson was on the slab for the Broadway stars and although apparently he did not exert himself, he let Waterbury down with two hits, one of them being a scratch which Hannafin should have got. New York on the othe r hand did not do much with Farley, per haps because they did not bring any bats with them. They had a lot of fun choosing their willows from Wat erbury's supply. Devlin evidently was the best picker for he selected an ash with which he banged out three singles and almost got another in the last time up. There were some amusing features to the game ,Devlin, Bowerman and Dummy Taylor en- deavoring to have fun with the crowd. Devlin was trying to get the crowd after him and would address the spectators as rubes, hayjerks and other epithets which would give the impression that he was in jay town. Bowerman was equally as bad. On one occasion some one informed Bow erman that he was rotten. The catcher turned around and said: And yet you call this the cultured east" Dummy Taylor, who is the best imitation of an automobile horn heard in this city in a long time, pitched the last inning as Stang had batted for Ferguson.

TARuLATEn STANDING.
Final One of the Season Showing ''e Whole Story.

Holyoks has won the pcnnant and witl a majority of 43 points Ovs: Waterbury. In comphfiel..
 years standing it shows up ev
 vorably. New London, the tailender last season, and the same this sea- son, was almost 200 points ahead of
 last years record. the lowest one in this division standing better in per centage than did the winners of the pennant last year.
 Holyoke, the champions, won five of the series and tied in two others, and those two were with Springfield and Hartford. Waterbury also won every series but two, losing one to Holyoke and tying with Springfield. Waterbury also has the distinction of being tied with another team for winning the most games from any one team. Springfield tied ill the series with Holyoke and with Water bury, which were completed and also tied in the series with Hartford, which was not completed, only six teen games being played. She won the other three series. Norwich, the champions of last season, win every series but those with Holyoke and Waterbury. She was Spring fields Jonah this season and helped more than any other team to keep Dan O'Neils bunch down from the lead. Hartford tied in the series with Holyoke, which was completed and also tied with Springfield, which was uncompleted. She won the series froi1 the three tail enders. Bridgeport won the series from New Haven and New London but lost to all the others. New Haven won but one series, that one from New Lon don and the latter city won no series. The lowest number of vic tories was secured by New London winning orc game from Springfield. The highest number of wins was made by Waterbury and Springfield with sixteen victories each over New LoHdon. The following is the stand ing of the teams for this season and last:

BASEBALL NOTES.
Farewell all you ball players.

Welcome all you football players.
 Bert Grubb of Holyoke will not join the Rochester Eastern leaguers until the opening of next season. The Brooklyn management has it's eye on Picher Red Waller of Bridge port.
 An exchange says that Pitcher Dolan of the pennant winners has been signed by Toronto and is booked to join the Maple Leaves in Provi- dence.
 The ball players are ali leaving the city to-day, that is, those who are returning to their homes. Bastian and Shincel, will remain here this winter and will probably enter the employ of the Waterbury Clock company.
 Pitcher Stackpole. who has been loaned by Holyoke to the Richmond Va.) club of the Virginia state league. pitched his first game for Richmond Thursday, defeating Lynch burg by a score of ? to 1. He was found for four hits, while the oppos- ing slabman allowed but two, an error helping Richmond to win.
 Manager Tom Dowd of Holyoke said that he will reserve all the mem- bers of this years pennant winning team who have not been sold or who escape drafting. Happy Jack lott and Ike Durette will also he includ- ed in the list, which must be sub mitted to J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National association, prior to Sept. 25.
 Doc Reisling pitched sensation ball for Lancaster against Harrisburg Thursday, twirling two games. He won the first by a score of 3'tO ? and and the second was called at tile end of the seventh, with no runs having been made. In the first game he al- lowed but five hits and no hits were made off him in the second. Reisl- ing pitched for Hartford several sea- sons ago.
