In reply to this letter Mr.. Hayiland
received a communication from the
Rockefeller attorney which, so far as
he can remember was as follows:
"Your communication has been plac-
ed In my hands by Mr.. Rockefeller IL

feller's wishes that any such thing be
placed on tue stage. Trusting that you
will see the matter in the right light.

yours very truly. etc"
The part to Which Mr. Rockefeller
is thought to object is contained IN
the following soliloQuy by Mr.. Hayil'
and as the Oil King In the opening OF
the sketch.

RESTRAINING HAv|LAND
FROM GIVING HIS SKETCH

that his client felt he had a right to
his own personality. that he objected
to the presentation OF the sketch, ana
hoped that Mr Haviland would see the
matter In the same light and not force
the writer to further action.
With the prospect before him OF liti'
CATION, In which all the wealth and In
fiuence Of Standard Oil might be
brought to bear MIR. Haviland is go
ing ahead with the sketch which will
be presented for the first time at the
Park Theatre Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Havlland has given the letter
received from Mr.. Rockefellers coun'
sci into the hands OF Attorney Wal
Yer e. Brownell, of the fremont build
ing, Boston, Mr.. Hayiland's legal ad'
visor.
Mr.. Haviland met Mr.. Rockefeller
seven years ago at Old Point Comfort
In speaking of this Mr.. Haviland says:
"You understand. / didn't know Mr.
Rockefeller intimately but several
of us men who were at the same hotel
we're introduced at an informal gath
ering. Ever since that time I have
had an idea that wanted to put on a
Rockefeller sketch. Now I've got IT,"
WRITES TO RoCKEY.
In the opening lines of the sketch
Mr.. Haviland makes few jabs at Mr.
Rockefeller but the general tone Is
kindly enough. and shows the master
of oil as a man moved by the story
Of child from the slums.
Under the presumption that the
sketch was thus inoffensiye Mr. Hayi
land wrote Mr.. Rockefeller the follow
ing letter:

BONUS FOR TWIN VICTORY.
Manager Clarkin Offers His Team
 S15O in Gold.

Hartford, Aug 1.--Manager Clark in will divide $150 among the players of the Hartford team If they win both games from Holyoke in this city to- morrow. He said yesterday that he was not worrying about few losses and he would not lose any sleep if the team should drop down peg. He is confident that 1t will come up again and he has strong hopes of landing the pennant. All the clubs that have won more games than thet have lost are eligible to 3pennant hon s and the race between Holyoke, Hartford, Wa terbury. Springfield and Norwich will be hot one.
 The remarkable advance made by the Hartfords in the last few weeks has attracted attention all over the country. Manager Clarkin is very well satisfied with the work of the men and he is not throwing them down be- cause they dropped few games. He was not satisfied with the work of Schall and he was released yesterday. The team will try hard to win to-day in Springefild as, if Springfield and Waterbury both win to-day, Hartford will go down to fourth place. The game with the Ponies promises to be q great battle but the real conflict of the week will be pulled off in this city tomorrow, when Holyoke will be here for two games.

THE TRAGEDIES OF PARIS.
Record of the sesmy Side of the Gay
 French Capital.

From 1000 to 1.500 bodies arc re- ceived in the morgue in Paris every year. These represent suicides and murders, and not the deaths that oc- cur in the ordinary course of events. And of these self-slaughterers nearly half are drownings, which means that every day at least two persons jump Into the Seine; two poor wretches who have failed to find life worth liv- ing. In the months of October and November suicides by drowning in Paris are double what they are the remainder of the year. The prospect of having to suffer the hardships of another winter. begging about in the cold and sleeping out in the snow, is too much for many a fatecursed wan derer. An interesting fact revealed by the suicide statistics of Paris Is that women show a decided dislike to drowning as a means Of violent death. Four times as many men as women are ished out of the Seine. The rec ords show that asphyxIstion is the fa- vorite way with the weaker sex flor shufing of this mortal coll" when it has ceased to be bearsble.

There were only two events rurf of, the 2:1S pace and the 2:20 trot. In the pacing race Julia Marlowe was the favorite at the start, but the odds quickly changed in favor of Richard E. who won easily after Marlowe had taken the first heat. Robert l. and c. O. D. were equal favorites in the trot- ting class with the field held at equal money against them. Alzemont won the first two heats and finished sec ond in the third heat, but then went lame and was distanced in the final heat. c. O. D. became a strong fayOrite after the second heat and won easily aftr Alzemont was out of 1t. In the third heat of this race Joe B. chest nut geldlng owned by J. H.

Story Of the introduction Of RabbIts
 Into Australia.

Australia wants population. but it wapts men and women. not rabbits. The British Australian tells the story of the coming of the rabbit. in re- sponse to certain sporting men of Victoria, who wanted something fresh to kill. Manning Thatcher made three attempts to bring rabbits from Eng land. When he succeeded at last the sportsmen had forgotten their want. They were probably shooting the moon. MT. Thatcher could not dispose of his wares. So on one hot after noon he and his companions, left with considerable burden of unsold wares on their hands, suddenly de- cided to rid themselves once and for all of the creatures, which had by this time reached the dimensions of white elephants. The rabbits were turned loose. They remembered the injunc- tion to be fruitful and multiply. They did 1t. And they devastated Aus tralia. Mir. Thatcher was given a medal to commemorate the gratitude of victorians for his introduction of rabbits. And now Australia is excited over a French poison that will kill nothing but rabbits!
