The Seven Prophets.

THE late Duke Of Devonshire," said
diplomat at q Washington dinner.
kept a stud and took a calm and ducal
interest in the races. There was a GER
tain sporting paper that kept large
staff of prophets and always prophesied
the outcome of important races. The
duke for some reason put great reli-
ance in these prophets and their proph-
ecies. He always read the paper and
he continually recommended II to his
friends. But once at Goodwood, at
the days end, man came up to the
duke and said:
What of your paper now? Did you
see 1t this morning? Six prophets
prophesied that six different horses
would win, and here only seven ran,
and the winner was the seventh, which
no prophet had selected. Well, what
have you to say nowY
"'All | have to say the duke an
swered calmly, is that there's room for
another prophet on that paper"

Women's Clubs
For Pure Food
Continued from page H.

Wash. Deputies will be sent to make
inspections. Our dairy conditions are
not bad but eternal vigilence is the
price of pure milk" with thanks to
Patrick Henry for his famous speech).
Market inspection is the third sub
ject to which attention Is called.
Here is an open field for hygienist;
imperfect may be the inspection of
diaries and milk but still more unsat-
isfctory is the law and its enforcement
regarding the aisle and care of food
which comes from markets, candy and
and ice cream stores. groceries, bake
ries and otherfood stores.
Most merchants desire to have their
stores in good condition and faults in
the case of food are usually matters
of oversight and not intention.
1t is matter of thoughtlessness
that leaves celery, for instance, ex-
posed to the dirt and germs of a busy
street all day to be sent into our
homes. Bread distributed about a city
in baskets or partly closed wagons can
not after passing through many
hands cannot be clean when offered
TO family meal time.
Meat and fowls that hang in mark
cts or lie in long rows on a counter,
dishes of sausage and buckets of but
ter and lard that we see uncovered in
most markets, cannot be clean when
exposed to the dust and dirt and flies.
Our state pure food law does not
specifically provide for this protection,
but the general provision ''to procure
pure food for man and beast' might
be construed to cover these points.

CHANGE AT TUXEDO.
Otto Huber Displaced in Management
 by "Butch" Weber.

A big surprise to many of the bowl- CTS of this city will be the change of management of the Tuxedo alleys. Otto Huber, the popular pin knight, and that bowler of the Independents and of the New Haven Interstate team. is no long CT in control of Iermann's alleys, but instead Butch" Weber, another bowl- CT. who has completed his climb on tha road to prominence. taking his place.
 The change at Hermann's took place yesterday, when Huber failed to appear at tho alleys at tho accustomed time. For several weeks differences have come up between Huber and Hermann. and daily they have been growing more se] rious until the two men could no lang< CT work together Hermann felt that Huber was not doing all that was nec- essary in taking care Of the alleys, and that Huber was rather slow in settling certain financial affairs. Tho Tuxedo management have had hard luck in bowling matches of late. especially in the one with the Republican club teamt in which match they lost a larga amount of money.
 Under the new management candle5 pins and duck pins will be used on every alley, and not on two or three aa has been the case previously.

After [ rounding tho very rough point In front | of the new parade ground, in which Harvard had been afraid to risk their shell, the two crews were set against each other for several stiff brushes on about half . mile each from a racing start.
 Leighton. who has been out of thaI shell for some time on account of aj sore hand, was back in his place this afternoon and will row in tomorrow's race. While tho chances were not con-l sidered bright for navy victory when tn much heavier Harvard crew arrived there has been noticeable gain In thel confidence on the part of the midship-l men and their supporters within th9l last day or two.
