NOTED SINGERS
CHERISHED PLAN
Lillian Nordica to Establish a
Second BaTeuth on Banks
of the Hudson.
SITE ALREADY PURCHASED
WEALTHY MEN AND WOMEN IN
TERESTED.

New York, June MADAME Lillian
Nordica, the Herald announces today,
will establish on the Hudson, near
New York. a Bayreuth in America.
With part of her great fortune the
noted singer will erect the Lillian Nor
dica festival house, which will be to
this country what the famous uperntic
institution founded by Richard Wag-
ner. and now maintained by his widow,
is to Europe
The site for the institution was pur-
chased yesterday for s1Oo,ooG, and
Madame Nordica expects that the
opera house VIII be ready for Its for
NAL dedication one year from next
summer.
An American institute of music,
where American young men and wo-
men who aspire to operate honors
viii be taught by the foremost teach
ers in the world is included in the
plans Of the famous singer.
Plans of the Great Singer.
In a statement in which she an
nounced her plans, Madame Nordica
said:
call my object philanthropic or
what you may, but the idea of found
ing here in my own country an Amer
lean Bayrenth has been my life's am
bition. All the years i have been sing
ing / have dreamed of such an insti-
tuition. Now I am able financially to
start this great project which 1 know
will be an institution which, after /
am dead, will continue to grow and en-
tighten the people of this country, who
are now awakening to the benefits to
be derived from a musical education,
such as was not dreamed of ten years
ago
IN this plan of mine I am assured
of the hearty cooperation of men and
women Of wealth. The latter years of
my life I hope to give entirely to see
ing this great institution grow until
it can have no rival.
Provision for Students.
The buildings that will be a part of
the American institute of music alone
will cover four acres. They will be
erected close to the Lillian Nordica
festival house. In connection with the
institute there will be dormitories and
houses where the students At little
expense will be able to live while pur-
suing their musical studies.
Europe will contribute teachers,
and they will be paid for their services
more than they can hope to earn
abroad.
1.-The Lillian Nordica festival house
will be in every way an exact repro
duction of the theatre erected by
Richard Wagner. The Wagner ope-
ras will be given there in the summer
with the greatest artists in the world. :"

WITH THE PooLIsrs.
Waterbury Clinched the Coin for Hef
 LuckY Holders on Saturday.

With the nine games played by tho locals and the almost farcical exhibA tion on Saturday with New London, in which Waterbury piled up ter runs in each game. those who held the Brass City in the running had the one best bet by long odds. New London was the surprise of the weeh and those who had the Whalers had a chance up to that final meeting with the locals. The New Loudonf piled up the hits too and seventy of them. not including the ones oi yesterday. is going along at prettJ good clip for a tail end team. AF most an average of eight hits a gamf is doing we'll enough for leaders. Er, TOTS were plentiful. however, witk the Whalers and thirty-three of then Is going fast in that direction. Holy. oke is tied for last place in run get ting, which tells the story of hsf drop in points. New Haven with al the hard knocks given In her owr town batted we'll in the six gamei played. with an average of nearly ter hits a game and she played witk much less errors than any other team. The following are the recorii of the pools. in the Connecticut. Ma tional and American leagues. not in. ciuding the games of yesterday:

SMALL ITEMS OF TOILET.
coquettIsh FrIpperIes Have Immense
 Vogue This Season.

There is really no describing the smartening influence of the myriad little lace and embroidery details Of the fashionable woman's toilette, and this fact was never more apparent than this season. when so many tall ored and semi-tailored frocks are em- beilished with separate chemisettes, revers, cuffs, etc., of handwork of all kinds. Fichus of all kinds have won Parisian favor, and coquettish effects are obtained by their clever manipula- ton. even though they be ever 50 sim pie and inexpensive.
 It is the girl who understands how to make and how to wear these dainty accessories who appears well dressed. A white duck skirt worn with hand made and hand-embroidered blouse and finished by goodlooking belt and tie or stock is always in good taste this time of year. provided 1t is all dainty and fresh, the belt carefully adjusted, the blouse securely fastened and no white petticoats dipping below the duck skirt in the back.
 A full-length glass or a well-tipped dressing mirror should be consulted before going out. It is very dificult to have petticoats and underskirts of exact length for tub frocks. where shrinkage must be considered, and a linen or duck skirt particularly is apt to hitch at the back.

THE AVERAGES
WORTH
 CHANGING. OVER
All Records of Players and Teams Compiled and Carefully Sifted.

We have one man hitting over the 300 mark, in fact, he is banging the ball over the 400 mark, but as he has only played in two games, he cannot by right be declared the best batter on the team until later. He is our our friend Lucia, who was wont to catch and stick well back in the days when those who had charge of base criticism, and when the players them- selves took roast when they deserved it and never let out whimper. Those were good old days, when to be loyal rooter and an upholder Of base ball of the kind that was given us, was to be endowed with considerable courage. Now if you so much as breathe ad- verse criticism you are condemned to everlasting torments by some who were never here when it was necessary to have little pluck and nerve.
 Bastian is the real leader of the To- calls, and he stands twenty-nine points below the coveted mark. The gain made by the Waterburys was not a phenomenal and was not even q re- markable one. It is this lack of hit ting with fast company that is going to tell the story when the final spurt comes, and perhaps the locals are husbanding all their spare strength for that last dash for the pole. McAn- drews and Bastian are still the daddics with the stick and for the two base smashers, while McAndrews, Swander, Lachance and Shincel have the sacrl- flee habit down to nicety. The fol- lowing are the records Of the batters, not including the game of yesterday:

TABULATED STANDING.
One of the Features of this Paper Kept Up All Season.

The tabulated standing which has never missed publication on Monday of every week since the opening of the baseball season and which has been made an exclusive feature of the Democrat, will come in handy little later for some of the managers and others throughout the state to refer to. It will be copied too. and if you don't believe it watch for 1t and see if the motto of this paper is not upheld. "The Democrat always leads, it never follows" This is true as regards all the records published in this paper, which are made up for our many readers but which others like so well.
 In the standing this week, Water4 bury, while winning six of the nine games played. increased her stand. ing only six points, yet we pulled up on the leaders who won but three out of six, giving us gain of sixteen points. Holyoke dropped ten points and, with the same gain this week and the same falling of of the lead- CTS, we ought to be in a good position to talk about that pennant pole. Every one of the leaders went down lower in points with the exception of this city and New Haven and New London were the only teams outside of Waterbury that advanced over their records of last week. Water. bury also holds the record for the greatest number of victories over any one team, having fifteen on New London. The latter team still holds a record of her own, having won no games from Springfield. The reason Springfield has not climbed higher in the race, is because of the fact that Norwich has been her jonah, for she has eleven victories over Dan O'Neil's bunch, while the Rosebuds have taken but three victories from Holyoke. Hartford dropped five oui of the eight games played during the week and has been supplanted by Norwich in the fourth position Hartford looks now like a failure al a pennant chaser. The following ara the records, including the games oi yesterday:

WITH OUR OPPONENTS.
We Came Under the Wire With Lou to Snare Against the Enemy.


 Unlike our experience of the week previous we were doing things Int tie better with the stick and in tho field against the teams that were lin- ed up against us. We made gain of thirty-flve points in hitting over the standing we held the week be- fore and in fielding our gain was sey-8 enteen points. We were below our opponents in both departments on last weeks record but this week tells different story and proves that the race for the pennant has become in- spring and the locals scent the flag in the distance. We almost doubled the run getting record as regards those that went after our scalps. while in hitting we just posed in by one lead. But the times at bat were what showed up we'll and our sacri- flee hitters and free passers seemed to be quite busy. Two less errors are credited to our side of the house and we had just one more chance in the field than did our opponents The following are the records, without those of yesterday.

NEW YORK'S ULTINA1UK FRIDAY
Chicago Omcials Declare Strike AL ready Broken and That All Busi- ness h Promptly Handled
 East and West.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12-The strike of union commercial telegraph operators will be universal throughout the Unit ed States and Canada today, according to National Secretary Russell of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America This statement was made by MT. Russell after he had been in formed of the action taken by New York union telegraphers, who at q meeting decided to hold walkout in abeyance until Friday.
 This strike movement" said Rus sell, has come to the point where there can be no backing down. The telegraphers have been trodden on long enough by the companies, and now that we have the opportunity we are going to use all our strength to enforce our demands. For several weeks Pres ident Small and myself have been holding the telegraphers back and have been advising conciliation, but they have taken affairs in their own hands, and we are going to stand by them.
 The Order of Railway Photographers was represented at the meeting by National Secretary Quick, who inform. ed the strikers that his organization was at their disposal both morally and financially.
 We have S1,00O,000 in our treas- ury," said he, "Spd 1t is at your dis posal Your fight is our fight, and we will stand with you until the end.'
 A dispatch from New York says that action looking to strike of the 5000 telegraph operators in that city has been deferred until next Friday, pend Ing an important conference in Chicago early this week, at which United States Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neil, Samuel J. Small. president of the Telegraphers' union; Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, and Ralph M Easley, chair man of the executive council of the National Civic federation, will en- deavor to effect an adjustment
 In Chicago officials of both compa- nies declared that they had more men working than they needed.
 Mir. Capen, genera! superintendent of the Postal Telegraph company in Chi cago, said:
 "The first break in the strike has oc- cured. A union man has applied for bis old position and has been reinstat- cd. We are handling all the business that comes to us and have plenty of operators. More were on duty than is usual on Sundays"

nMusle laa crx.n

Music is called the universal Ian guage; and yet when you are strug- gling to understand what composer is trying to say, always remember that he is speaking primitive Ian guage that frames vaguely a senti- ment, or mood. or tangled fabric of sentiments and moods.
 The best definition ever heard of music is that of Taine. Music is cry and-to my thinking, at least the best music is that in which, to the largest degree. each note repre-. sents an outcry. But then a cry may mean so much or so little!-Delinea- tor.

Wanted to Help the Little Fellow

Wanted to Help the Little Fellow.
 Two men were engaged in saving timber in the Maine woods. One was a big, brawny and very fierce-looking fellow. the other meek and inoffen- sive little chap. They were using cross-crt saw. A big Irishman hap pened along. and after standing there a few minutes watching them pull back and forth, decided that the big one was trying to take advantage of the other. The Irishman reprimand- ed the big fellow. which caused a row. After Pat had given him good thrash. ing he turned and said: Now, I giss yell let the little fellow hove 1t, be- gorry!"-Judge's Library.

Now about the pitchers 1t Is not fair to Eddie Farley to be pushing him up against all the best teams. Admit that he is considered the premier twirler. he should be given a chance at some of the easy teams and not work him to death against the fast ones. He is too good q twirler to be forced to his speed limit all the time. with the chance that he may % be- yond natures gifts and be placed on the hospital list. Farley took the lead away from Hogarty during the week. winning both of the games fin which he twiried. Hogarty broke even on his two games. while Bill Rogers took down three of the four in which he oficiated. Bronkie lost the only game in which he acted on tho slab. Farley still has away the best of 1t in the matter of strike-outs. while Rogers and BrOnkie are fighting for second honors in that connection.

 Lachance still tops the list in the fielding line with but twelve errors made in over one thousand chances. That is about as good as they make them in this league. While Fitzpat- rick stands next, he has played In but eleven games, and Shincel is therefore the next real leader in the fielding line. Over five hundred chances has this plucky catcher been up against, and only ten misplays mar his play. All are fielding better. however, which augurs we'll for the battle at the last defences and we should pull out in corking good style before the season closes. Our run getting comes natur- ally through clever base stealing. ana here McAndrews again tops the list. with Bastian and Lachance following close at his heels. This tells whole story in itself and shows once more why base stealers and sacrifice hit ters are valuable men in getting vic tories.
