Light Luncheons for Hot Days.

Summer time is the season when light refreshments of some kind are needed almost every day fo: little trips and outings-to entertain C. su- al guests and for luncheon on days too warm for heavy foods.
 There are many summer time bis> cult and waters baked by he Nation- al Biscuit company and pacKed in packages that keep out all dampness and dust of travel and absolutely preserve the original freshness of the contents. Among the most popu- lar of these dainties are Social Tea Biscuit. They are appropriate for many different occasions that few packages in the house prepares you to serve a light refreshment without moments notice.
 Social Tea Biscuit are real food, but so light and unusual that they tempt the appetite and make well come accompaniment to luncheon, dessert or dinner-a social cup of tea or cooling beverage.
 Always serve Social Tea Biscuit from the original package. because then you are sure that no dust or dampness has reached them and that you will enjoy all their original freshness of flavor.

KING TOOPPOSE WALSH
Meeting Will Be Held in New
 Haven Next Month.

New Haven, July 15,--Formar Att torney General w. H. King of Willi- mantle has entered the race for the republican nomination for congress- man-at large. This announcement, in itself, would not, unAer ordinary circumstances, be regarded as of much political significance, but Mr Kings entry has not been made under the common rule. His candidacy, in short, is intended as rebuke to the coterie of legislators who during the present session of the general as- sembly led in the repudiation of Gov ernor Woodruff's recommendations and accompanied their action with sights on the chief executive him. self.
 It is recalled that Senator James F. Walsh, chairman of the judiciary committee, and leader os the senate has been booked for congressmana-t large to succeed George l.. Lilley, who is backed by the so-called Hartford machine. That is, he has been picked for the place since Lieutenant-Gsy- ernor Lake ,who is also an ayowed candidate for governor, waived aside the offer of congressional honors, made on condition that he would withdraw from the governorshlp fight. Senator Walsh, it will be remembered, bitterly opposed some of the gover- nor's acts in the, senate, and did not refrain from personalities.
 He had his way for the time be- ing but the governors friends were indignant, their wrath has worked it. self into definite shape, and, war is declared on Walsh.
 New Haven county, the home of Governor Woodruff, is the first sec ton, naturally, of the state to begin to take definite action in preparation for hostilities. Republican leaders of the county have been comparing notes, the outcome being that a meet ing of some of the most prominent of the party's politicians in this sec ton will meet in this city early next month to discuss ways and means fol the promotion of Mir Kings candi- dacy It is learned that the ex-attor- ney general has been chosen to op' pose Walsh because he is regarded as the ablest man available for the job As a legislator it is pointed out that he was always in the forefront as a debator on important questions, that he was a successcul attorney general and that he has often swayed party conventions by his captivating elo- quence. <
 Whether MT Kings candidacy for congressman-at-large will affect the gubernatorial situation is another story. Watch out for new align ment of the forces with Hartford for Lake and King.:"

of triumph for James Chic Froham Fitzpatrick, head coach, who during the contest led the cheering brigade and so rattled MT Grelle, twirler for the "Rubes" that the city folks in the first inning knocked out four runs.
 Although the Hayseeds were clad in uniforms and looked like a bunch of real ball players. the costumes of the newsies were of a varied assort- ment; some of them were as odd as the players who were wearing them. Bonnie" Fitzpatrick and Fair haired" Harold Cross had the two most striking outfits. The former was clad in white trousers turned up almost to his knees displaying a silky pair of brown hose to match the hobby brown shoes. His shirt was soft plaid, while his sky piece was a white outing hat. He wore his hair in the ordinary way. Let it be mentioned that he was presented with bouquet of beautiful daises when he first stepped to the plate. A juicy quince had been placed in the nosegay but 1t fell to the ground before the flowers reached the "cut up."
 The boy with the fair hair had a pair of trousers which = we'll, when Cross was out in the field, out so far that he could scarcely see home plate, those were the only things visible His jersey was blue while his Panama hat for the occasion had the real rah, rah shape.
 "Wit and Humor" Slocum had a cap which made him look like Sun ny Jim" while the knockabout uni form of Joe Guilfoile made him al- most unrecognizable.
 Shortly after their arrival at the field of battle, Captain D. J. Lahey quickly made his men take the diamond and after ten minutes of fast practice he stated that he was ready to begin. But just as the players were about to take their posi- tions an important discovery was made. Benjamin Witkowski was missing.

the game was stopped. Lahey and Fitz orated. Walter Wright was sent into the game. and when it was resumed the newsies were on their mettle. By some fast playing the next three batsmen were retired and the Hayseeds were disgusted. It was then that they placed a sure hitter, Percy Valentine, on their team, but he failed to make the home run expected of him in the last in. ming. He sent out a sky ball in the ninth, but Lahey was after it on the jump and after long run made a catch a la Swander.
 The Hayseeds did nothing in their half of the ninth, although they had a man on base. He died when he tried to pilfer the third sack. Slocum mailing him by a yard on lallapa- luzzeT throw from Hayes. The um- pire. seemed to be the happiest man on the field after the game. and he had reason to be elated that he was all there. considering the manner in which he had officiated. After the battle the newsies under the direc- ton of their leader gave their yell. which will be printed after the next victory. The line up:
