TRIBUTE TO CLEVELAND.

President Woodrow Wilson's Eulogy
 of the Former Chief Magistrate of
 the Nation.
 In the New York Sunday. Times President Woodrow Wilson of Prince ton university paid a glowing tribute to ex-President Grover Cleveland, whose seventieth birthday occurred Monday. In part he said:
 His isolation led to the painful re- suits which always follow such breaches. He retired from office amid a storm of obloquy and misrepresenta- tion; but time has brought about its healing and its revenges. The misre- presentation has not cleared entirely away; it could not in a single genera tion, when once such fires of passion ate feeling had been kindled, but it is no longer a mist in tale eye of the peo- pie. Their old admiration for the man, their old confidence in his utter hon. esty and intergrity, their love for his downright utterances and clear sense of right, their belief in his homely wis., dom, have returned with an added force and enthusiasm, because of their consciousness of the deep injustice they had for while done him in their own mislnformed thought. He Is hail. ed wherever he goes with as eager a welcome and with as keen zest for what he has to say as is the more piquant chief magistrate himself.
 The position he now enjoys in the estimation of thee ountry is evidenced in very significant way by the con- .fidenoe eyeryweher felt that his trus- tee-ship of the controlling shares of the Equitable Life Assurance society and his presidency of the association recently formed of the chief adminis- trative officers of the greater life in- surance companies will clear the man. agement of those companies of oues- tionable practices and that the inter- ests of the policy Holders will be con scientiously looked after and the use of insurance funds carefully safe guarded. What MT. Cleveland brings to the management of such matters is old-fashioned simple honest and the administration of all fiduelary business by men who do not seek to line their own pockets; and that, the country feels, is the only effective cure for the abominable abuses it has seen brought to light in these last extraordinarary years of revelation. Business ability and clear-eyed integrity are his in- valuable contribution to steadying the nerves and restoring the confidence of the country.
 Whatever may be Mir. Cleveland's own reflections on his seventieth birth day, his countrymen are entitled to rect deep pride in what such an an- niversary brings to light the ultimate triumph of character and principle. of native ability without adventltious aid. in free republic. We are not hope- lessly sophisticated when a man such as this can become our chief citizen. Wealth is not everything when wealth without his aid and correction would Tall into hopeless disrepute Fame still sits serene in her temple, and crowns only those with stainless crown who come to her with a pure heart and clean hands. The nation still assesses It's public men by moral standards as old as the human conscience, and will not be disceived by any charlatan.

TO SELL BASEBALL FRANCHISE

IO SEbh BASEbAl4lJ FRANCHISE.
 Manager c. J. Danaher of the New Haven baseball club announces that his baseball holdings consisting of the New Haven franchise, grounds at Savin Rock and reserved players is for sale immediately,
 This begins to look like business and the chances are that the local state league club will be knocked down to the highest bidder. MT. Danaher at the close of last season named the sum of 5000 as the figures and found no takers at that price, as it was consid- cred abnormally high.
 The sale of the New Haven club has been made So often that baseball cranks and others have grown to con- slider the matter in the light of joke. Mir Danaher evidently means business now and developments are awaited with considerable interest

LAST NIGHTS POLO GAMES
NEW HAVEN WHITEWASHED THE
 ROUGH RIDERS 2 TO O.

Fifteen Hundred People Witnessed the Contest Which Was One of the Closest and Mos+ Exciting of the Present Series-New Haven's Defense Saved the Day-McGilvary and Fahey Put Up Star Game for the visitors. Before one of the largest crowds of the season New Haven whitewashed the Rough Riders at the rink last night It was also one of the most ex- citing games that has been played dur ing the present series. Only two goals were made, and these by Curtiss for New Haven In the first and second periods of the game.
 It was the splendid defense work of Stonewall Gardner and Goaltender Mullen that kept Waterbury from SCOT ing. Forty-two stops by Mullen to twenty-eight by Sutton shows that Waterbury was on the aggressive all the time, and that it was not the fault of her rushers that she did not come out on top McGilvary and Fahey cer- tainly put up star game for the visit ors, and their work deserved something better than a whitewash.
 The New Haven team as a whole played a splendid game and the large crowd was more than delighted with its work.

BILE. Every evening in each ofthese
mints of this country the floors of
the melting rooms are swept cleaner
than a housewives kitchen. The
dust is put carefully aside, and
about once in two months the SCOT
scraped from every flue is transferred
to the same precious dust heap.
This is then burned, and from its
ashes the government derives no in
considerable income. The earthen
ware crucibles used in melting are
employed no more than three times.
Then they are crushed between
heavy rollers and in their porous
sides are found flakes of the precious
metal.
In the melting room when the
casters raise their ladies from the
melting pots shower of sparks fly
from the molten SUI face of the metal
Lest these particles should escape,
the ashes and clinkors below the fur
mace are gathered up at night. This
debris is ground into powder by
means of steam cruSher and then is
sold to smelter, like ordinary ore
at price warrented by the assayer.
The ladies that stir the precious
metal the big iron rods, the strain
ers and the dippers are all tested in
"A most curious fashion. After con-
use they become covered
with a thin layer of oxidized silver
closely resembling Il brown rust.
The impliments are then laid in
baths of solution of sulphuric acid
which eats away the iron and steel
and leaves the silver untouched.

If the reports of wardens to the
state department of fisheries be moi
very greatly exaggerated, the
streams in Pennsylvania not inhabit
ed by trout are in grave danger OF
having their supply Of fish greatly
diminished or entirely wiped out in
short time through the operation of
the new gigging law.
From the reports it appears that
thousands of people in all parts OF
Pennsylvania are seeking fish with
gig. Complaints are pouring in
from all sections that numerous gig
gers are paying little or no attention
tn the provisions of the law, which
confines giging to carp, mullets and
ecls. According to Commissioner,
Meehan, an army of warden cann' t
keep the unlawful giggers und ercon-
troll.
One warden reported that few
nights ago he visited Il stream in Adj
a,ns county aud found in one place
six men wading the stream shoulder
to shoulder, each with his gig and
his light. He found they had only
Il few fish and those of the kind that
might legally be taken. Surprised
at this he began an examination OF
the streams the next day and found
it almost destitute of fish. The same
-tream last year contained not only
carp, suckers, and eels in some
abundance, but other fish as we'll.
In response to many queries in ri :
gard to the half inch space between
the prongs mentioned in the gigging
act, Commissioner Meehan has secur
ed an opinion from the attorneyIgen-
erals department to the effect that
the half inch measurement shall be
between the projecting boards or
barbs and not between the tines
themselves.
