WHY PROPOSAL WAS SUDDEN.
One Thing That Fond Youth Had
 Taken No Thought Fer.

This is so sudden!" As he heard the girl speak these words the aston ished young man rose to his feet in bewilderment. Sudden" he repeated. Did I hear alright? More than two years ago. I believe it was, since I first met you. For several months after that I only saw you occasional ly; then gradually, very gradually, I increased my visits. It took six months to get on a formal calling basis; 1t took six months more to be a regular visitor; six months more to call you by your Christian name; and 1t is only during the last few months that have ventured, with many mis- givings, even to hold your hand. And now, after all this gradual develop ment of my love, you tell me that my declaration is so sudden. Do you call this sudden?" T do, indeed" she replied calmly. "Bat for what req son?" The young lady replied. with some degree of hauteur: Simply this. I hardly imagined you would dare to speak to me like this for another two years at least, considering your pres. ent salary"

HOW THE EXPERT KNEW.
Something Even Ordinary Man Might
 Have Discovered.

"Mr. William Kopfer is we'll known resident of Denver, Col. and an artist upon the violin. He is a connoisseur in instruments. A friend of his told him that he possessed a good imitation Stradivarius and MT. Kopfer requested that the violin be brought him for inspection. The in- strument was in bad state of repair, and its owner fixed it as we'll as he could with generous quantity of glue. before taking 1t to the expert. Kopferf. drew the violin from its case and, drew the bow slowly across the strings. 'Ach!' he exclaimed. 'Dere must be new E string A new string was substituted and again Kopfer
 tiled the tone. He bent his ear anx- iously to the instrument and his bow ing head was almost affectionate. But he seemed still unsatisfed. Der iss too much glue he announced sadly. 'What!' exclaimed his friend. Is 1t possible for you to tell that by the tone? 'Ach, Herr Je! Nein. was the quick retort. By der schmell!'"

THE POLICE COURT.
Myron Payne Had His Case Continued
 Again To-Day.

Regarding the case of Myron E. Payne which has been three times postponed in the city court for one reason or another. it is now evident that the defense, represented by Att torney James E. Russell, will be brain-storm. Before Judge Peasley this morning Prosecutor c. K. Meigs asked for another postponment, making the third, on the grounds that Mrs Payne was not in town. She went to Meriden few days ago and a friend went there this morning to bring her back, but evidently he had not returned at court time.
 Attorney Russell stated that he was under the impression that Mrs Payne does not wish to press the case because she is of the opinion her husband was not entirely re- sponsible for his acts at the time of the assault.
 He had been under a highly ner- vous strain for some time. Judge Peasley said he did not believe 1t right that wife beaters should ebee al- lowed at large and he would prefer to hear the evidence before making any disposition of it. He according ly postponed it to Tuesday morning.
 Payne beat his wife with a ham, mer and threw her down stairs.
 A case against Michael Minnie cuci for breach of the peace was put over to Tuesday also. There may be another defendant and additional facts.
 Frank Steel made trouble for his wife and family at his home on Pond street yesterday and was fined So and costs for intoxication.
 James Collins and William J. Car roll were charged with intoxication and theft of $44 worth of tools the property of the Randolph & Cloves company. Some of the goods were found in their possession. others were pawned. Carroll had nothing to say for himself but Collins stated that he came from New Britain week ago to work He lodged at the police station the last few nights and yes- terday morning on being released he met Carroll who had the tools with him and they started out to sell them They were each fined $7 and costs for intoxication and given three months in jail for theft.

The Worth of Nurses,

Contrasting his Indian experiences with those in South Africa. Field Mar. shal Lord Roberts said that for ths first two or three months of the siege of Delhi not single case of amputa- tion survived, and at Lucknow the death statistics were very similar. In fact. 1t would hardly be possible to describe what the wounded and sick suffered during the Indian campaign from the overpowerine heat. the swarm of insects. the stench. the lack of surgical and medical treatment and the want of proper nursing. During the South African war a totally diff ferent state of affairs prevailed. and the presence of trained nurses con tributed to the difference.

TRINITY AND "PROS."
IN A TIE GAME

The second game between the Hickman
and White and the Trinity teams at
American League Park yesterday after
noon resulted In a tie after eight innings
of play. Score, to 6.
Bernie Gallagher and Wyatt Lee were
the opposing slabmen, the former for the
Trinity lads and the latter for Cheerful
Charlie's' aggregation. Gallagher got a
bad start, having allowed three singles in
the opening session, which netted the pro-
fessionals two talies. For the next four
innings he had perfect control and kept
the bingles well scattered. In the sixth
and seventh the pros" punched hits and
got two more in each inning, which con-
stituted their total. The score at this
stage was 6 to ; in favor of the pros, but
in the last round Joe Stanley made wild
heave of a grounder off Bishops bat, and
after the latter stole second and third he
tied up the game on Kings single. Lee,
the former Washington tWirler, pitched a
good game, and with better support he
would have undoubtedly carried off the
honors. The Trinity boys only made one
earned run, which goes to show that he
had them pretty we'll in hand The score:

COLIN CAPTURES
THE CHAMPAGNE STAKES

NEW YORK. October Thames r.
keene's wonderful Colin-wound up his
tEo-year- old campaign yesterday by win
nlng the Che G;pagne stakes, at seven fur
longs stvaightaway, in a gallop. His
only adversary was II. P Whitney's
Stamina, who, though in prime condition.
was no match for the gallant son OF Com
.nando. In the betting Colin was at the
prohibitive price of l to I, while Stamina
sadd.ed the Whitney FLY. said that Colin
would have to run the fastest race Of his
career to beat her. This was speaking
by the card, for Colin ran the distance
IN % fiat, a new record for the track
ard at the same time beat Stamina by
eight lengths. At the start they ran to-
gether like a team for about furlong
wht u Colin with phenomenal speed drew
away. He had a lead of four or five
lengths. when opposite the field stand
he suddenly crossed to the outside dl-
rettly in front of Mr. Whitney's repre-
sentative. But the latter WAS so far back
that she was in no way interfered with.
As Colin reached the last fUrlong pole
Miller looked back and realizing that he
had the race wen he began to ease up the
t,eene colt. who was just salloping at
the end.
4ne best previous record for the course
was l.23 30, made by Mr. Whitney's Per-
verse, the winner of the Champagne in
1880 The worlds record for seven fur
longs is 1.22, made by Roseben last year
at Belmont around one turn. IL Colin had
been extended he would probably have
equaled Rosebens figures, if not beaten
them. Colin will go into retirement the
