Women and Children and Talk.

DR.. Marade, a French scientist and
inventor Of what he calls voice teleg-
raphy," has discovered the reason why
women can talk longer than men. II
will be unfair TO find fault with wom-
en- for talking hereafter, because we
now know they are built that way.
The doctor says: "A woman can talk
four times as long as a man with the
same expenditure of energy. 1t Is mere
y question OF the amount of air
which escapes from the lungs during
phonation, and, as a woman's larynx
Ia narrower than mans and child's
than a wOman's. II Is evident why chill
dren can prattle for hours at time
and why women can maintain the "a
6gue OF couversatioa 50 much more
saally than q man."

WMHITESIDE-BRIGGS
A Beautiful Wedding of Two Popular People At the Methodist
 Church Today


 was the scene of a beautiful wed ding, that united the lives and fortunes of Mr. Garrett White side, of Nashville, Ark, and Miss Pearle Briggs, of Prescott.
 The church was crowded to its capacity long before the hour arrived, and was beautifully dec orated with palms, ferns, ivy and autumn leaves, while over the altar hung large white we'd ding bell, artistically carrying out the color scheme of green and white.
 Promptly at 4 o'clock, the we'd ding party arrived at the church, and while they waited in the yes tibule, Mrs. c. P. Arnold appro- priately sang in clear voice that beautiful song, Love Me and the World is Mine. :" At it's close the doors were thrown open and the party marched up the aisle in the following order, while Mrs. Jno. c. White played Men delsshon's wedding march: The ushers, Messrs. George J. Terry and Thos. c. McRae, Jr., came first, followed by the bridal par ty, the ladies entering on the right and the gentlemen on the left. Mrs. w. B. Cravens of Ft. Smith, was matron, and Miss Pauline Meadors, Nashville, was maid of honor, while c. B. Whiteside, brother of the groom was best man. The other at tendants were Miss Marguerite Jackson, of Paragould, and MT. Robt. Bowles, of Nashville, and Miss Blanche Milburn, of Pres colt, and Mir. T. P. Meadors, of Hot Springs.
 At the altar semi-circle was i formed with the bride and groom in the center. The wedding ceremony was beautifully said by Rev Forney Hutchison, of Little Rock, during which Mrs. White sweetly rendered the Meditation Play.
 The bride wore blue travel ing dress with hat to match, while the groom was dressed in a brown street suit.
 Mrs. CravenS and Miss Jack son wore blue, while Miss Mil burn and Miss Meadors were dressed in brown.
 The gentlemen attendants wore the regulation black.
 The happy couple will leave at 515 this afternoon for Niagara Falls, Toronto, New York and Jamestown, arriving at Wash ington City about December 1st, where they will spend the winter.
 The bride is one of Prescott's $ most excellent young ladies, sweet of disposition, charming in manner, accomplished in her endeavors and attractive in ap- pearance. She is daughter of $. k. Briggs and has lived in Prescott for the past two years, during which time she has made friends of every one who moved in her circle of acquaintance, and who have nothing but the best of wishes for her future.
 The groom is a son of J. E. Whiteside, of Nashville, a form CT Prescott citizen; and he is young man of many manly quail ties. During his visits to Pres colt the past year or more, he

BASEBALL NOTES.
Powhattans of New York here to

Powhattans of New York here to- morrow.
 The fans were little disappointed because Johnny Moran did not pitch. but the lads arm is not in the best of condition as was evidenced in the game with Yale. sfa
 Quite a likely bunch that Niagara crowd and with little more coach- ing they should give good account of themselves around the circuit, but the coaching seems to be lacking.
 Bill Lallier's acceptance speech would remind you of the school boy who was asked to commit some pas sage in scripture to heart and recite it the next day. He did it and as- tonished his teacher when he arose and gave as his chapter Jesus wept." The pupil wept shortly af- terwards good and plenty.
 The Niagaras had the hit and run game down to nicety and worked it very cleverly several times. They had the rooters with them yesterday who wanted to see them trim the Waterburys just because home boys were on the team.
 Hughey Jennings is getting a whole lot of baseball out of the De- troit team these days.
 Not in years have the opening day .attendances been as small as this year. the bad weather being solely to blame. The real baseball enthusiasm hasn't come yet. A climbing ther- mometer will bring it out.
 Topsy Hartsel seldom fails to ham, mer the ball hard in New York. He and Sam Crawford make lots of trouble for the home pitchers.
 Both of the New York Nationals defeats have been shut outs.
 Jimmy Collins knee is not giving him any trouble. but for precau- tiOn's sake he still wears it bandaged.
 The New York Nationals are be- having admirably on the field. May the reform be lasting.
 The noted .Ioneses of Yale did neat brother act in the game against Niagara on Wednesday. Brother Tad laced the ball for a homer. and Brother Howard did likewise. Prob ably the first case of the kind on record.
 A story Is now in circulation that Waterbury is to be represented in another league which it is under stood will shortly be started in this state. The league will be composed of factory teams from all over the state and will endeavor to play Sat urday ball. Only one team from this city. a Benedict & Burnham team will be represented. as all the other big factories have a team in the shop Baseball league. Other teams which will be represented in the league are the Coe Brass com pany of Torrington and the Coe Brass company of Ansonia.

POOL MATCH ARRANGED.
Britt and De Monte Will Play for
 $500 in Gold.

Hartford, April 19.-Arrange- ments were completed yesterday for the match game at pool between George Britt and James De Monte, both of this city. The preliminary forfeit of $50 was posted with the sporting editor of the Courant and yesterday the men put up S75 each in additional, making s200 in all. This money will be turned over to Charles Soby tomorrow and he will be the final stakeholder. Besides this amount, Britt has backed him self for s150 and friends of De Monte have wagered the amount with him. The men are to play at the Rathskeller pool parlors week after next, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 200 points night. mak- ing 600 points in all. Britt did not care to play SO many points but he agreed to the conditions named by De Monte. Professor Charles w. Harer has been agreed upon as ref cree. The winner is to get so per cent of the gate receipts and the loser 20 per cent. The man who wins this match will have enough to spend a few months in Europe at the expense of the loser. This is the largest sum that was ever put up for a pool match in this state and it is safe to say that both contestants will put in their spare time for over week in praeticing.

DIAM O ND
THE 100000 DIES THE DEATH
Waterbury at Last Wins Her First Game From the Players of
 Niagara University.

We broke through the ice out at Rockville yesterday afternoon and came up splashing and spouting with victory clutched by the throat. We didn't seem to want that win either, but somehow or other the Niagara boys tried hard to hand it to us and finally succeeded. It was nothing to crow over, for it was misplays, on the part of the college boys, that gave us our first game, not any sensational hitting or playing on our side of the fence. There was just one exception to the above statement, because Tom McNellis, with Waterbury engraved, not only on his uniform, but on his birth record, made phenomenal one handed catch of hot liner from the bat of Bill Lallier, another Water burian, and cut Bill out of two base hit at least. This happened Tn the very first inning and just after Bill had been made the recipient of q little token from his friends in the Brooklyn Athletic club. This token was in the form of gold watch fob and charm, with his initials engraved on one side of the charm and crossed bats and ball on the reverse side. When Lallier stepped to the plate iii the first inning, Umpire Fitzgerald called time and President E. l.. Ma lOney of the City Amateur league OH behalf of the Brooklyn Athletic club presented Bill with the gift. Bill re- sponded in that we'll known rhetoii: of his, embellished now with Niagara learning and tutoring. He was sur rounded at the plate, where the pre- sentation was made, by his college chums and they encOred Bills speech with the Niagara rah! rah. which startled Maurice Reid as he was cEas- ing the grasshOppers out of his mead Ow.
 The game attracted few hundred fans, principally because there were three Waterbury lads connected with the team. Tom McGrath is manager of the team and Johnny Moran is one of the premier twlrlers and Bill I.ai- Her has no equal as third baseman in the college world. The two play CTS, Moran and I.allier, received warm welcomes as they stepped up to bat and each handled the stick well and covered themselves with glory in the field. Waterbury could do noth- ing in the batting line with any of the twirlers sent in by the youngsters from Niagara and they had to be sat isfied with the measley number of five hits, while the college lads pounded out nine off of Farley and Lewis. Niagara's second baseman practically lost the game for his side by his mis- plays around his territory. The score:
