Results of Games Held Last Even

ing. ....
 New Britain, Nov 24.-The New Britain polo team defeated Pawtuck- ct last night at the East Main street armory before crowd of about 800 by the score of 4 to l. Bill Ramon, New Britain's old goal tender, was with the visitors, and received fine ovation. He played his old style game, having 52 stops to Fences 26. New Britain started off in whirlwind fashion, caging two goals in a little over a minutes play. Duggan made the first goal on good passing with Harkins rushing the ball down the floor. Pierce scored the only goal for the league leaders towards the close of the first period getting the ball on pass and chucking it in. Harkins scored after thirteen minutes play In the second. Jean scored shortly after on long drive from near the center.
 No goals were caged in the last pe- riod. Pence had only five stops in the last period Long John Wiley did not distinguish himself very much. Jean was too big a proposi- tion for him. Harkins got struck in the arm and Holderness rubbed him down. He had to have attendance during the recess between the first and second periods. One drive made by Jean took Cameron off his feet. Fences work during the second pe- riod was of the stellar order, and the crowd was quick to show it's appre- citation. Ramon called on some of his old time admirers between periods The summary:

THE PUGILISTS
Two Heaviest Men That Ever Fought in . Ring Will Meet
 iu Two Weeks.

Spokane, Wash, Nov 24.-Fred s. Radcliff, sheriff of Whitman county, who towers six feet and two inches in his bare feet and weighs 375 pounds, and Dr T. E. Callaghan of Spokane, six feet and four inches from crown to sole, with 260 pounds to his credit, will meet in the roped arena with padded gloves within two weeks, to decide the amateur cham pionship of the Inland Empire giants The mill is to be pulled off before the Spokane Amateur Athletic club, which back the winner to defend the championship of the Pacific north west In this class. Frank w. Smith, editor of "Smth's Dope" who is nearly seven feet in height and weghs 320 pounds, will be referee. Eddie Vollman, manager of the bout, says that when the two gladiators meet within the squared circle the legends of the Grecian giants will be forgotten, and the rumble of Olym- pus at the anger of Zeus will appear like merely ripple of the atmos- phere in comparison with the deep breathing of the physical left-overs from the age of giants. Radcliff and Callaghan do not sound anything like Homer's heroes, but they will have to stand in the history of goth century battles.
 "Do I think Johnson can beat Burns? Why, of course I dol" said Bob Fitzsimmons the other day. Johnson is the cleverest big man in the ring to-day. I know whole lot about him. He is hard hitter and one of the most scientific heavies ever saw. Burns is overrated. He has never licked a first class man and is about as good as Dan Creedon used to be a dozen years ago. You know l licked Creedon in punch, and I could have done the same with Burns when 1 was right. Burns may be clever and game, hard hitting pugilist, but he will be outclassed when he tackles big Johnson, for the latter is great fighter, one of the best I have ever seen. It may be a long fight, but Johnson will win because of his ring generalship and science, also his height and weight It's good safe bet tool"

WALKED IN SLEEP INTO
DANGER SURROUNDINGS

Washington d. c., June 30.-(Spe-
clad -Clinging to the brick parapet
of roof in somnambulant trance
for over an hour early this morning
Miss Sadie Petit was finally awaken
ed by the voice of a neighbor calling
to her. Half daZed at the noise of the
crowd in the darkness around her
she started violently and fell back
ward on the roof, thus saving her
self.
1t was not long after / o'clock when
Miss Petit who sleeps on the second
floor, rose in her sleep, and smash
ing every glass in her window with
heavy mallet crawled out on to the
awterspout Neither the crash of
the splintered glass nor a wound
she received on her wrist wakened
her, and she continued her perilous
journey till she reached the roof of
the porch.
From there, still asleep, she climb
ed up ten feet of water-piping to the
roof of the second story and stood
there on top of narrow brick para
pet.
Though she did not waken even
then, some semi-consciousnes of
her danger came to her, and she
Shrleked loudly as she stood poised
forty feet above the ground. Her
cries reused Miss Louise Richardson,
her next-door neighbor Finally Miss
Petit, clad only in her night clothes,
seated herself on the ledge and dang
led her feet in the air. A crowd col
lected. Miss Richardson then sum-
moned a. doctor and sent for the po-
lice.
1t was suggested that the Fire De-
partment would have to be summon
ed but this was abandoned, as it was
feared that the noise of the approach
ing apparatus might startle Miss
Petit and she would fall to the street.
Finally two policemen got as near to
her as the strength of the water pipe
would allow, and Miss Richardson
called to her to wake up and sit
still. She fell then to the roof be-
hind her.
Restored to her senses by the
fall, Miss Petit climbed down the
water pipe and reached her rescuers,
after being on the roof over an hour
She at once tainted, and has remain
ed in her room all day.

WHY AMERICAN GIRLS
SEEK FOREIGN MATCHES

Paris, June 30.-In a book which
Hughes lie Roux publishes this week
on Love in the United States" this
French author says American men
are the real cause of American girls
seeking husbands among the foreign
nobility
"The American father is ambitious
and democratic" he says, "but he has
made his daughter an aristocrat with
out court a goddess without an
Olympus, an exquisite without an at
mosphere to realize her ideals. There
fore the American girl is forced to
turn her eyes beyond the sea.
The American woman knows ex-
actly what she wants. In the first
place, it is man of leisure, such as
is created by the old civilization, a
man who has time to do her bidding,
to listen to her, to answer her, to I'M
derstand her. 1t is man who brings
with him an atmosphere of ancient
glory before which mere commercial
success pales as does the moon be-
fore the sun.
THE whole bringing up of the Am
erican girl, her special education at
home and abroad, has given her a ma
ture which thirsts for things unob-
tainable in America

AGE OF FLYING HAS
ARRIVED, SAYS DIR. BELL

Toronto, Ontario, June 30.-(Spe-
ciaD-Dr. Alexander Graham Bell
thinks the age of flying machines is
here, and in the near future the air
will be filled with birdlike vehicles
for business purposes as we'll as for
sport.
1.-THE flying machine is actually
with u.s. he said today. and all that
remains is the problem of improving
and learning to operate it, He add
ed that there were now twelve sue
cessful flying machines in existence,
two of which were of American man
ufacture.
these are of so promising a
character that | have no doubt we
will be able to duplicate any feat
that has been done in the Old Coun-
try"
Dr. Bell referred to the fact that
the French Army was now equipped
with three dirigible balloons, and
said that future wars between ma
tions would see fleets of airships in
action.
Il predict he said, that these
airships will soon be used for pleas
ure, and very likely for carrying
mails. We can at present get a
speed of forty miles an hour, and
there is no reason why we should
not get sixty One thing we can
be sure of-we have gone far enough
to show that the age of the flying ma
chine is here now"

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots OF it in Americus, But Daily
Growing Less

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so
delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tons of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for help. Heed
it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted
Are just what overworked kid
neys need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys; help them to do their work;
never fail to cure any case of kid
ney disease.
Read the proof from an Americas
citizen:
II. o. Daniel Merchant, living on
Lamar St., Americas, Ca, says: 81
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Dod-
sons Pharmacy, used them according
to directions, and was we'll pleased
with the results received. Since US
ing Doan's Kidney Pills l have had
little or no trouble from my kid
neys and have no hesitancy in rec
ommending this remedy to other suf-
ferers"

BASHFUL GROOM
AT LAST CORRALFD
Pastor Declared it Was
Last Alarm.

Jerseyyille, ILL.,, June 30.-(Special)
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Matthew'S
is a fact; Jerseyville's bashful and
balky acknowledgement, famed for his
five previous flights from the altar
gritted his. teeth, closed his eyes,
clasped the hand of Miss Mary Fras-
er and said Il do" in Pastor Jones
parsonage today
This was at $50 a. M, and an
hour and a half later Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Matthews boarded a train for
Roedhouse.
We're going to spend our honey
moon there" the now proud and res
olute husband confided to his friends.
We'll be back tomorrow night, y
he added.
"Oh, ho." remarked the Jerseyville
youths who heard the last remark.
There has not been a real, first
class charivari in Jerseyville for a
long time and the collecting of
horns and cowbells began immediate
ly.
They fooled them today by their
early morning wedding. The town
did not find out about it until short
ly before train time and it was too
late for much of demonstration The
only unusual thing about the cere-
mony was the charge to the bride
groom with which Pastor Jones pre-
faced it. His words were:
Nov, Dan, this is the last time.
If you balk this time you needn't
come to me to get married again. /
won't bother any more with you"
Whether the bride had made any
similar remarks did not appear, but
the resolute look on Daniels face
bespoke a determination which
would, and did, carry him through.
Daniel commenced his attempts to
wed two years ago, when he twice
disappointed Mrs. Mary Miller, once
at the altar and once at the mar
riage license office. Mrs Miller cast
his love aside after the second &C.
currence and a few months ago he
became engaged to Miss Fraser. Their
wedding was set for Sunday, June Z
but he failed to appear, explaining af-
terward that his mother cried at the
thought of his leaving her. Miss
Fraser sent back the furniture and
groceries they had bought, but he
won her consent to a ceremony last
/ Sunday night. Again he failed tic
appear. Monday he was to have tried
it again, but lost his nerve on the
way to church.

The Honesty of Presidents
New York World.)


Grover Cleveland was reputed to be
a very rich man when he left the
White House. 1t was charged by
had accumulated a fortune of fully
$5,000,000 while in office. That he
died comparatively poor effectively
refutes a SANDER as persistent as it
was malignant.
Personal integrity has ever been
a distinguishing trait in Presidents
of the United States. There have
been twenty-six occupants of the
high post, but against none of them
has an accusation of dishonesty been
preferred which had a more substan-
tial basis than wild rumor The
charges were rung on Grants alleged
connection with the gold ring, but
the evidence as sifted by historians
acquits him of any completely in
that attack on the nations credit.
From Washington to Roosevelt the
line of succession in answering in
tegrity remains unbroken
Presidents have been Incorporate,
they have not been exempt from HUI
man weaknesses and they have COM
mitted numberless mistakes in execu-
tive policy. Party calumny has not
spared their morals, But that they
have used their position for personal
profit is yet to be proved. Not one
was ever shown to have added dol
lar to his fortune by the illegitimate
exercises of powers for Influencing
legislation such as reside in no other
chief magistrate.
Their record in this respect is UNI
paralleled in any other nation. L
is particularly in contrast with tina
of the executives of other republics
elevated oftimes, as with us, from
obscurity and poverty to high place
but less fortified by character agains

WONDERFUL LAWYER WHO
CHARGES SMALL FEES
lBroadwav Maeazine.l


There is one great lawyer who
may prove to be the Moses that shall
lead the railroads out of the wilder
ness of hostile legislation, man who
is at once so eminent and so pictures
que that his name deserves to be the
last word in the discussion of the
subject-John G. Johnson, of Phila-
delphia.
There are ninety-five Johnsons in
Who's Who, but not this Johnson.
There are no full-page stories of his
law battles in the Sunday papers. He
has never been photographed. He
has never been interviewed He has
practiced law for forty-five years,
and has been a leader of the American
bar for twenty years; and yet out
side of his clients and a small group
of personal friends, John G. Johnson
is comparatively unknown.
1t was Johnson who argued the
first of the antitrust cases before
the United States Supreme Court,
and won it. getting the sugar barons
out of trouble. When the 2-cent-rate
law was passed in Pennsylvania last
year, it was Johnson who had it de-
clared unconstitutional and thrown on
the scrap heap. And not for a quar-
ter OF century or more has there
been a great lawsuit in Philadelphia
in which Johnson was not on one side
or the other
Othe r lawyers have no fault to find
with Johnson, except that he refuses
to charge high fees. In this regard
he is incurable. The biggest fee tc
his credit is said to have been one OF
. 100000 which he received from the
sugar trust, in the famous Chapman
case, ten years ago. But usually his
fees are regarded as mere pittances
by his fellow-lawyers. | was told o.

a steady increase. Paris has always
set the fashion to the rest of the
warld in gastronomic affairs, as well
as in the matter of women's attire.
Foreigners residing in France are
asking themselves whether Parisians
will carry their love of horse flesh
into the restaurant and dining room.
A little less than $4,000 horses.
mules and donkeys were eaten in
Paris alone last year This is the
proportion: For every hundred ami
mails butchered at the hippo-a battoirs
there are ninety-seyen horses, two
donkeys, and one mule. Last year
the sum total represented $4,000 900
pounds of meat. Many Americans
and Englishment have become quite
fond of horsemeat since their resi-
dence in Paris. 1t is said to be
much more nutritious than beef. and
is recommended by all Paris physi-
clans for convalescents and consump-
tives
The taste is not very different from
that of beet. In fact, man can
eat a horse steak and never know
the difference The abattoirs where
these animals are butchered are
closely supervised by the city, and
only healthy animals are slain.

JUNE Is MONTH OF
GREATEST NUMBER SUICIDES
New York Evening PosD


Dispatches from Chicago. though
not of the boastful summer resort
order, report numerous suicides in
that city in consequence of the great
heat 1t is a fact, however, that
the month Of June is everywhere the
one in which self-destruction is
most common. In all parts of the
world the smallest number of sui
cides occur in December, the largest
in June. And the difference is con-
siderable-the average for the Uni
ted States being 1856 in June, as
against PIT in December.
If Europe had a war which claim
ed 10000 victims every year, the
world would stand aghast; but the
information that more than that num-
Der of Europeans annually commit
suicide excites only a moments won
der. In this country, last year, there
was a record of 1912 suicides.
If the present rate of increase be
maintained, we shall in the next five
years lose in this way nearly as many
lives as were lost in battle by the
Union armies in the five years of
the civil war.
Many attempts have been made
to explain why the first month of
summer should convince more per-
sons than any other month that life
is not worth living. Why, when ma
ture is most smiling and happy, should
these men. and women be more in
clined to part with life than at a
season when the air is full of chill
and discomfort?
Mr.. Kennan's explanation is the
most ingenious and plausible that
has yet been suggested. The sunshine,
the blue skies, the leafy trees, and the
singing birds of June increase the
happiness of the man who is happy
already, but they intensity, by con
trast, the misery of the man who is
already miserable. Everybody is
happy he says to himself, every
body is rejoicing; I am the only living
thing that is out of place." and so
he makes away with himself
