MOOSE IN CAPTIVITY.
Not Difficult to Domesticate, but Hard
Keep Alive.
From the Duluth Herald.

FROM the DulGIA Herald.
1.-THE reason so few moose are seen In
captivity in the parks and clrcuscs of the
country is not because they are naturally

hey usually do not live long in captivity
said j. c. Peterson Of st. Paul. My faith
ar was for many years a settler in north
ern Minnesota, and at different times in
his experience ne had three moose on his
homestead, which recognized him as their
master.
"All tho animals were captured When they
were Very Young, ard IN each instance it

Of them We're shipped to the city a change
was noticeable.
Two of the animals We're sold to city
park associations at different times, and
in each instance the moose finally died.
They seemed willing enough to remain in

they were used to, and from the first it
was to be seen that they We're failing in
nealth. A moose can stand all sorts of
hardships in the woods, but when he is in
captivity lack of exercise or lack of prop
er food or lack of something else puts him
an the down grade, and, as a rule, he
passes in his checks in a few weeks. or a
few months at the outside.
Zone of the animals my father owned
was a handsome bull, and he was trained
10 harness. The animal could pull a good
,ized load. and travel through the woods
| with a sleigh behind him at a very lively
clip. This third moose was one day shot
BY a hunter near the house. So all three
,nimals met with an untimely fate, which

not monkey with the plans of nature"

MILITARY COURT
"A BRACE GAME"
Colonel Ayres Says as Well be
Tried by CrOcOdiles.
TAKES UP WIFES CASE

New York, June 10.-Warnings that
his friendship for General Leonard
Wood would cost him his commission
in the United States army have been
received repeatedly by Lieutenant Col
onel Charles G.. Ayres. a statement he
made public says. In defending his
wife Mrs. Elizabeth F. Ayres. from
criticism by officers of the military
academy and supporting her suit to
recover 100000 in damages from
them Colonel Ayres. at West Point
said that he has been tried on MANY
charges and that he has been told
many times that part of the animos-
ity toward him has been caused by his
friendship for General Wood.
That officer himself. Colonel Ayres
said. has for years warned him fire.
Cuently to be careful The colonel
said that he regarded General Wood
as one of che ablest men in the coun-
try. Ayres was one of the officers on
General Woods firing line at Santiago.
The controversy at West Point first
attracted public attention at the Eas-
ter parade of the cadets when Lieu
tenant Colonel Robert L. Howe, COM
mandant of the cadets, sent a sergeant
to take away the cadets overcoats,
which they had loaned to girl specta-
tors during a shower. Officers of the
academy blamed Mrs. Ayres for some
of the criticism of the cOmmandant's s
action and for some of the public no
tice taken of it. Mrs. Ayres. who then
lived on the government reservation,
resented this, and left West Point to
live at Highland Falls, near by.
Colonel Ayres declared that the
charge that the influence of women at
West Point is detrimental to the cadets
or the academy is due to jealousy, and
that the criticisms of Mrs. Ayres is a
tissue of falsehoods by officers of the
army anxious to injure her Colonel
Ayres said that to attempt to settle the
matter by appeal to a military court
would be suicidal, as his experience
has convinced him that military inves-
legations are a farce and have been
used for years as a means to destroy
an officers record.
Colonel Ayres alluded to the action
taken by the secretary of war as the
result of the conflict between Mrs
Ayres and the officers of the academy
This action, he said, excluded Mrs
Ayres from the academy.
AS to the reason for taking the mat
ter before the civil instead of mill
tary court. Colonel Ayres said that g
major general told him Is years age
never to appeal to any kind of mill
tary tribunal, for he might as we'll b'
tried by crocodiles.
The action of the secretary of war
he added, was taken on the report O.
Inspector General Stephen G. Mills
who was sent to the academy to inves
tgate the charges and counterchargei
growing out of the case. A militar!
court, Colonel Ayres said. would be 81
composed that the result would b.
what is called a brace game"
Colonel Ayres announced that Col
onel Mills will be compelled to answe
to a suit for malicious slander ant
compelled to prove his statements.

3 There is no better rule for good health
than that the bowels should move every
day at the sans hour if possible. Regu-
Iarity can be acquired by making habit
of this. Foolish people neglect this and
when chronic constipation effects them
they take pills every few days to force the
bowels to perform their natural function.
AS years 60 on they require more and
more pills. This should be stopped.
COoper's New Discovery will build up
the stomach and cause the bowels to act

stop taking the medicine.

who have tried it:

THE DIAMOND NEW HAVEN
 TRIMMED US The Danaher Cohorts Walloped Our
 MT Ysrke' Hard Results of All Other Games.

Z Waterbury lost the game yester- day., because Yerkes was hit just about as often as New Haven wish ed. It was a, day for fattening up batting averages and the New Ha- yens took advantage of the oppor- tunity. And Yerkes was the factor in the making of the only run cred ited to our side, which smooths over his record on the slab just little, but not anything to brag of. If the New Haven newspapers would stop their knocking and boost their team bit they would realize the difference in few games. The Democrat has claimed right along that the New Haven team has no business down so low in the standing, for every man on the team plays ball and plays it well, at least in this city. As for Waterbury in yesterdays contest, the only thing that can be said to their disadvantage was, that when we needed hits, we were in the clouds. There we remained even in the last inning, when with three men on bases. any kind of an old punk hit would nave changed the aspect of things. Nolte was wild in that inn ing and nervous as we'll, but he tied us up in knots and not one hit was made of him, although he did give two bases on balls and hit another batter.
 New Haven started in batting Yerkes in the very first inning and although they made two safe hits, by fast playing no runs were scored. In the fourth they began their work in ernest and Hayward banged out safe one to start with. The next two men were retired but Sherwood drove Hayward in with hit to cen- ter. The next two men were re- ter. Two came in the sixth on a single by Hayward, triple by Wade and single by, Sherwood. The last one came in the ninth on single by Curtiss, sacrifice by Jope and safe drive by Connell We scored our only run in the fourth on a hit by Schincel. an error by Sherwood and a safe one by Yerkes to right. Hay ward distinguished himself by mak- ing three singles and the last time up getting hit by the ball. Cornell, Sherwood and Hayward made nine of the thirteen hits. three each. It was hard game for the few hum dred fans to lose, but New Haven de- served the victory. The score:

ASK WAIVERS ON BATCH.
Brooklyn Club Finds Several Teams
 Ready to Take Player.

It has leaked out that the Brooklyn National league club has asked for waivers on Heine Batch. a warm Waterbury favorite several seasons ago. but there is very little likelf- hood of his leaving the Superbas. Several clubs refused to waive claim upon him and the Brooklyn manage ment will not part with him except for small fortune. the scheme be. ing. If no one had refused to waive claim upon him, to let him go. with a string. to some minor league clu6 for the season. That Brooklyn has asked for waivers on Batch comes as a big surprise to Brooklyn fans. as the management has never even hint. ed that Heine was slated to go.

Goss was not in England at the time Mace formally announced his re. tiremept from the ring aud 1t was Jes Smith and not Goss who succeeded Mace as champion of England.
 Peter Jackson beat Smith for the English title on November II. 1889. That was three years before Sullivan was whipped by Jim Corbett for tbs American title. Therefore Sullivan had three years in which to clinch the worlds championship by beating Jack son, but the terrible Bostonian could not he coaxed into the ring with the giant negro.
