THE IRISH GIANT.
Con Walsh Shows the Muscle That
 Grows in Cork.

OIUWS HI OUAA.
 Con Walsh, the Irish weight throw CT, who has been hurling heavy mis- siles great distances since his arr rival in this country few months ago. bettered the best known throw over a bar with the 56-pound weight yesterday at the Cork Mems games at Celtic park, but his feat will not be recognized as a worlds record. He also won two other events.
 Walsh is from County Cork, lre- land, and in preparation for these games has trained diligently. It was in the opening event that he made the new mark. He threw the 66- pound ball over a bar suspended at Q height of Is feet 2h inches. Had Walsh sounded a drum with the weight by throwing 1t straight up in the air he would have earned a re- cognized record. James Mitchelrs record mark at the latter style is 15 feet inches. Tn establishing 1t he hurled the weight into the air so that the top of 1t hit the drum. As the weights more than. foot in length the top of Walsh's height went much higher than did Mitchels.
 In the shot putting event Walsh beat W. Kruger. the collegiate cham pion. The champion gave the Irish giant a handicap of eight feet and this proved too much for Kruger to overcome. Walsh winning by more than two feet.
 Lee Talbot.the much heralded Msr- cersburg school champion, also fell before Walsh. Throwing the 1e- pound hammer Walsh also received a handicap. but in this event he did not need 1t. His throw was 161 feet sh inches. beating Talbot's actual throw by nearly twenty feet.

 Thirteen Three Hundred Hitters.

The two most effective batting ex-
 hibitions of the week were given by
 Jimmy O'Rourke and Hi Ladd of the
 Bridgeport team. Jimmy swatted his
 way back to the 300 class with his

 big jump with his four hits last Sun day and some steady stickwork in the other games. Rising is still the league leader, but by reduced per centage. Big Bill Luby loomed up again with rush, after the previous weeks tumble Capt Moves of Hart ford, was another star stick per former, and he, to, came into the fast class with rush. Baker of Hol- yoke advanced well and so did Ac- corsini, Soffel and Pastor, dropping out.

Change il Name Only.

There was christening yesterday at
the gray limestone mansion of Surgeon
General Wyman of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service.
In reality is was a rechristening, the
victim of the ceremony being a no less
able bodied citizen than the yellow fever
mosquito, heretofore known in refined So
ciety as Stegomyia fasciata. General
Wyman asks the world to sit up and
take notice that the gentleman, who fig
ures so prolifcally in the dispatches and
notes of the monthly public health bulle-
tins, will hereafter be known as Stego-
myia calopus. s.'
The change of name. however, does
not bring about any change of function
on the part of the mosquito. In the
language of a Marine Hospital Service
wit, a Stegomyia fasciata by any other
name will look just as yellow" The
male will continue to hum noisily and
skim around on dress parade in his sill
yer stripes, while the fever carrying fe-
male. as has been her lot since primal
days. will busily buzz about, making
trouble for man.-Washi2gton Herald.

CHINA'S GREAT SEAL.
Scranton Man Says He Has 1t and China
Doesn't Want 1t Back.

Col Boes of Scranton. Pa, says he
has the Great Seal OF the Empire of
China.
He was in Pekin at the time of the
Boxer uprising. One day a friend who
was walking along the street saw a
coolie brandishing big metal object
Attracted by the fine workmanship of
the object. he bought it for few yen,
without knowing what it was. He gave
the seal to Col. Boes a short time later.
The Colonel put it into his trunk with
the other Chinese souvenirs he had gath
cred and brought it home. Here he was
told that it was the Great Seal of
China
He wrote to the Chinese minister at
Washington, telling him about the find
and Offering to return the seal, without
reward, to the Chinese government. The
minister replied that the seal was pollut-
ed and that the colonel should keep it.
