 John Lynch, son of John Lyncn of Bank street, who is a member or Company G, Twelfth regiment, Unit ed States infantry, spent Sunday at his home in Brooklyn after being away for nine years. He left tnis morning for Governors Island, N. Y, where he is now stationed. Lynch enlisted in the army in 1898 when this country had the trouble With ISpain and since that time has seen much service.

 The handball tournament which |has been on at the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club the past two months came to an end yesterday with two teams tied for premier hon. Iors; Smith and Schlosser having won and lost the same number of games as H. and J. Cunningham. The tie will be played off next Sunday morn ling. Although the tournament has been interesting 1t did not excite the Ienthus.asm as did the contests Of Hast season, as the participants were unable to appear on several nights lon which they were scheduled to play, consequently the postponed games were many and several of the players acted in a nonchalant manner in re- Igard to the outcome. Still the mem- Ibers had a lot of sport during the tournament and in all probability an Iother tourney will be held next sea- son. The winners last year were Ed munds and Picquignot and they re- Iceiyed medals of a rather pretty de- lsign. The winners of next Sundays games will perhaps be the recipients of similar medals. The other games yesterday were played by the follow ling, the winners being named first: lSmith-Schlosse vs Koloski Bros, |Gwilym- Darlington vs Clark-Bock- Iwich, Smith-Schlosser vs Blansfield- Flynn, H. and J.

CAN'T BUY TELEGRAM
Editor SaWdey Denounces Story and Would Like 10 Meet Writer
Editor Evening Democrat:

Editor Evening Democrat:
 Will you kindly permit me through the columns of your paper to contra dict a piece of so-called news which appeared in the Waterbury Republican of this morning regard ing the possible sale of the Sunday Telegram to H. R. Durant and George Strobel. The story is from the pen of weak rival in the Sum- day field, and is only one of the many attempts to injure the business of the Telegram. The public is already aware of this fact.
 MT Strobel, who is a jeweler- not a newspaper man-has enough business of his own to attend to without bothering with the cares and anxieties of journalism. He has never made an offer for the Telegram He does not want a newspaper, and would not take one were it offered to him. In this I think ne is quite sensible.
 MT Durant, like several other peo- pie in this city, at one time made an offer for the Telegram, and was re- fused. They are all good people wh evidently know a good thing when they see it.
 As for the failing health of the publisher of the Telegram I will say that his physical condition was never better, so good, in fact, that he would like to meet the instigator of that malicious story upon the field of honor.
 In reference to the Telegram's financial condition, I would say that 1t owes no bills it cannot pay-more in fact, than some other Sunday newspapers can boast of.
 In conclusion permit me to say that should at any time desire tc dispose of my newspaper interests in Waterbury, 1 will make use of the columns of advertising mediums like the Evening Democrat or Sunday Telegram, the papers that reach the masses. Yours truly,
 CHARLES JAY SAWDEY.

PEARLs ON THEIR DEATHBED.
The Fate of Necklace Once Worn by
 the Wife of Adolfe Thiers.

In the Louvre museum at Paris is to be seen a pearl necklace on its deathbed. Not literally on a bed, but cn a velvet cushion. It is the great necklace left by the great diplomat and statesman, Thiers, which once jclonged to this prominent states mans wife. It is mounted in an un- 0stentations style and has no value as an article de vertu beyond the former value of the pearls, which was about S60,000. It consists of 145 pearls in three rows, which weigh altogether 2,097 grains. The largest three pearls weigh 36, 39 and 51 grains.
 The pearls of this necklace are destined to die, says the Deutsche Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are gradually losing their lustre from lay to day and will during the next few decades turn as black as the faded roses of the much handled Nreath. But why? Because pearls will only retain their original lustre 7hen they are worn by beautiful wo- men and come in frequent contact with the warm skin of the vearer.
 When a pearl necklace is removed frYm the neck. where 1t has been ex- rosed to a high temperature, and is l.l1ced on a cold mable tablet, which Is of about one-half of such high temperature. 1t may be justly in- .erred that the scales of the pearls will contract and lose some of ;heir brilliancy. When pearl necklaces ale habitualiy placed on velvet cush. ions after having been worn this cir. cumstance may also we'll contribute to the detriment of the beauty of g pearl, while the chemical compost. tisf. of the color may be an addition. al factor in this direction. not tc overlook the effects of a strong light
 The management of the Louvre museum has held this necklace ol Mrs Thiers in high esteem, and. 1t ha, probably noticed the gradual detcri aration with serious concern. The lack of authority to do 90 has ns .lnubt prevented the board of man sgers from taking the responsibility of experimental steps advssed by com petent experts to save this necklac, from further deterioration.

.HERM|STON CONTEST IS ENDED
Swayze Is Victor Over ]. r. Means
in Election Case.

After two days of wrangling over
the law points involved. the flooding
of the records with technical objec-
tions interposed and the befuddling of
the five weary jurors with learned dis
quisitions with and recitations of the
authorities, says Wednesdays Tribune,
the Hermiston electionease was deoid,
ed in the circuit court Tuesday after
noon by Judge Bean instructing the
jury to return verdict for the defend.
ant. F. B. Swayze and against the
plaintiff, J. R. Means.
Notice of appeal was Immediately
given by the attorneys for Means.
During the trial of the case both
sides practically admitted that the
election was illegally held, but as this
was not the point at issue the court
did not pass upon it.
The court sustained the returns of
thescanvassiug board which held one
ballot, that would have elected Means,
to be defective. This left AZ votes to
each candidate for councilman.
The county board in canvassing the
returns considered the tie and, with
the power vested under the law, chose
Swayze, as councilman. This cho ce
was upheld by the instructions to the
jury which returned a verdict with
out leaving the jury box.
Another oouncllmanio election is tC
be held in Hermiston in December
and there are deep mutterings as tC
what either side is going to do to the
other at that time.

Barley Brings High Price.

S. A. Barnes of Weston has again
made an important deal with farmers,
in the interest of the Pacific Coast
Elevator company. This time it is
barley at $25 ton, the highest price
reached for that cereal for many years
at least, iu this vicinity. 1901 sacks
were bought of W. A. Barnes, 713
sacks of Lewis McMorris. $40 sacks
of Smock, Briggson farmer. So
profitable has been this cereal of late
years that farmers arc annually in
creasiug the average of its production.

Much Wheat at EltOpia.

An even 100 cars of wheat have
been shipped from Eltopia, Wash.
already against 105 as total for last
year. Two warehouses are completely
filled with grain, and the Interior peo-
pie have 5000 sacks piled on the ground.
It is safe to say that only about one,
half of the grain has been shipped.
This compares very favorably with
1908, when but five cars of wheat
were shipped from this point.

after be had overdrawn.
Finally, Brown says, Harras per-
suaded him to loan him $3.50 and later
this was increased to 1865. Harras
was to have given him note for this
amount, but did not do SO, saying. ac-
cording to Brown. that as he Brown }
had the company's money in charge,
he could pay himself at any time.
This, Brown says. he finally did and
he was later arrested for embezzle-
ment.
Brown says he only took the money
when he learned that Harras' numer-
ous creditors were to come down ON the
plant and attach everything.

Mince pie, that ever popular dish
may be made much richer and more
attractive, if intended for festive
occasions, by sprinkling each pie
before putting on the upper crust
with a few finely chopped figs and
walnuts. The housewife who origin

pie uses claret instead Of cider for
moistening. A cranberry pie, with

a nice change.
