New York, Sept Yesterdays National league developments in the matter of scores, exceedingly dis heartening for the admirers of the New York club served to intensity interest in the seasons closing games of which the last is Set for October 7. To-day's results weer full of import ance, with New York leading Chica- go by only single point and Pitts burg but five notches further down, the two double header games here in Greater New York to-day, New York Cincinnati, ard Chicago-Brooklyn, mean something. New York has yet five more games to play than Chica- go. In this fact, however, there was not so much comfort as before yester- days unexpected slump. Prepara- tions were made to-day for handling immense crowds.
 The New Yorks turned the tables on the Cincinnatis in the first game this afternoon and walloped them to the tune of 6 to 2. Ewing had one bad inning, the fourth, and the New Yorks found him for four runs. The batteries to-day were Mathewson and Bresnahan for New York, Ewing and Schlei for Cincinnati.

Several Thousand Dollars Wagered
 By Wood Choppers.

Windsor, Vt, Sept 26.-A novel contest, that of attempting to chor and split five cords of wood from standing trees between sunrise and sunset, for a wager of several thou sand dollars, attracted to this small place to-day distinguished men from New York, Washington and Boston, including Maxwell Evarts, one of the originators of the proposed feat; L.. F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson R. R., and L. A. Coo lidge, assistant secretary of the United States treasury.
 The center of interest of the largo gathering was Edward Hoot of Wethersfleld, said to be the cham pion wood chopper of the state, whose ability was backed by MT Ev- ards and doubted by other members of the party.
 The contest took place about q mile to the north of this town on a farm owned by MT Evards. The chopping began at sunrise, 5:20 a. m., and was to end at sunset, which comes at $50 p. m. oot was at tended by his son Frank, to keep the axes sharp, and he handed these in- struments and the sitting wedges to his father as fast as they were need ed. c.

 In Cold Cash.

New Haven, Sept 26.-What k practically the final settlement of the estate of the late Archibald Blount of Oreleton Manor, Hertfordshire, England, shows that Yale university will net from the estate about $32S.- 900. The Yale treasury has received in cash from the estate $337,000, from which there will have to be de- ducted for legal and other fees about 3S,500. The actual value of the be- quest was about s450,000. but q large amount had to be paid in Eng Hand in connection with inheritance taxes and other matters. The total inheritance taxes alone in England have amounted to about $62,000. The bequest comes to the university unhampered by any conditions.
 It is ascertained that under the will of the late Frederick c. Hewitt, Yale '5S, the s500,00O left by hin: to the university is also uncondition- al. The legacy reported at about $75,000 left by the late George B. Griggs, Yale '72, is subject to life interest of his widow.

That would seem to : clinch the

That would seem to clinch the refused to allow a recommendation for the senator's return to the senate to accompany an indorsement of his own candidacy for the presidency by the republicans of Ohio; all this time he knew the letter had said, T don't care for the presidency If 1t has to come by compromise with Senator Foraker". all the time he knew that Senator Foraker had never seen that letter and did not know of its exist ence, but that'the president had been consulted regarding 1t and had n copy. in his possession.
 It then came to De Senator Fora ker's turn to say some nice things to show the love and friendship which had always existed between himself and the presidential candidate. Here Is what he said
 matter and to allay all doubt and misgivings. Senator Foraker did not know of the Taft letter to My dear MT ---." He concluded, He (Taft) will be my leader until the polls close on the night of election. 2
 Then came Senator Dick, For aker's colleague in the senate. He lauded Taft and Governor Harris and told why both should be elected Then he added: But I want to say that it would be a great loss to Ohio, to the country, and to the senate, if Joseph B. Foraker is not returned At this there was a rousing demonstration of approval in which Candidate Taft joined; <; and Senator Dick continued: T see you are with me and we are for each and all, for the office which they represent and to which they aspire" S- '-
 The country knew then that Taft and Foraker loved each other, oh! so dearly, but 1t did not know of the Taft letter refusing compromise with Foraker, refusing to permit a recommendation for his return to the senate, a. copy of which the president had in his desk ready to publish at the opportune moment.
 Nor is this all the eviednce ob- tainable of their friendship. When MT Taft went to Cincinnati a week later his personal representative, MT Vorys, called upon Senator Foraker and said that MT Taft would like to see him." The meeting was ar- ranged, and Taft and Foraker had "a half hours conference" Follow ing this conference MT Taft gave out the following statement: We dis cussed the general appearance of the campaign and Senator Foraker said he wanted to do everything he could to bring about republican suc- cess, and that whenever I needed him I could call upon him. He ex- poets to take an active part in the campaign under the direction of the national committee.
 But three weeks having elapsed have brought a great. change. The presidents statement has exposed MT Taft's duplicity toward Senator Foraker, and the latter will not take an active part in the campaign under the direction of the national |eommittee.o E-, VI ' ss I

TAG, YOUR IT.
Meriden Maidens Raising Money for
 Undercliff Sanitarium.

Meriden, Sept 26.-This city is to-day in the grasp of a great band of fair, young highway women, who have collected hundreds of dollars by their hold-ups They are board ing trains and stopping trolley cars, automobiles, wagons and even baby buggies to exact tribute. To each of their willing victims they give a tag, showing that he contributed to Undercliff sanitarium, Meriden. new tuberculosis hospital which needs this fund for its maintenance.
 Tag day was planned on a large scale. There are nearly 1 ,500 active workers for the cause to-day The town is divided into eight districts. In each there is manager with as-. sistant managers and corps of chaperons who each has her force of taggers. The district managers were chosen from representatives of the fraternal societies and other organi- zations. The taggers carry red flags. The outlying sections are covered by taggin crews in automobiles.
 Stores are decorated and the business center presents gala ap- pearance. All the bands and drum corps have given their services free and concerts are held in all parts of the town. It is expected that the taggers will reap harvest tonight. Fireworks will then add excitement to the occasion. The tagging is di- rected by the Business Mems asso- citation of Meriden, the Anti-Tuber- culosis association and the City Medical society.

FLEET WILL SKIP MANILA.
Celebration Postponed Until Novem
 ber on Account of Cholera.

Manila, Sept 26.-As has been previously predicted. the formal well come to the battleships of the Amer ican fleet has been postponed on ac- count of the presence of cholera in this city.
 The committee in charge of the reception, after a conference with Governor General Smith and a num- Der of prominent business men, to- day decided that it would be wisest and safest to cancel all preparations for the celebration until the fleet re- turns from Japan in November. In honor of the fleets presence, how ever, the conference concluded to carry out the water parade on the day of arrival.
 Governor-General Smith is advis- ing the authorities at Washington ot the development of strong criticism directed against the health authori- ties of the city because of the fact that Manila was not protected by quarantine and closer protection of the districts where the cholera has claimed the greatest number of. vic, tins. It is probable that an inves- tigation will be ordered.

Trees in the Walk.

A considerable number of Simons- vile people feel aggrieved at the at- titude of the board of public works towards David Hunter. a prominent resident of that district. It appears that in making the wider roadbed on lower Baldwin street some trees stood in the middle of the walk op- posite Mir Hunters residence. and in stead of cutting them down as they are said to have done in all such cases in that street, they left them there and say they do not intend to remove them. The neighbors are not satisfied with this order of things, but none of them wants to make a protest in the open and so long as they remain silent 1t is not likely that the officials will bother MT Hun ter, for while he is a man of peace, he is not a person to trifie with and the politicians will be sure not to run counter with him.
