ROMANTIC JENA.

A quaint old town is Jena, with crooked streets, red tiled old houses, fifteenth century church, with peas ant women sitting on the steps selling the charmingly glazed blue and yell low pots which give the kitchens of Jena the air of an art studio; market place with the statues of the founder of the university and of Martin Luth- CT, and many unexpected narrow pass ages, with sudden and curious odors of cabbages, herrings, picked cucum- bers, the smoke of sausages roasted In the open air and cheese quickening into stirring life. Tn addition to these characteristic features, Jena has TO- mantle past a prosperous present and a rosy future. It's prosperity Is obvi- ous to the nerest stranger, for new red villas are breaking out all over the hllsides, quaint gables and carved balconies are vanishing off the face of the earth, narrow and cobbled streets are being swept away, and new paved streets with roomy ventilated build ines are taking their places a magni- flcent new "Volkshaus" unique fir Germany, stand in finished and dig nified grandeur, rnd a new university is arising in a suitable situation. The old castle of the Thuringian dukes ant the old house where Schiller gave hi' first lecture have been razed to thu ground to make way for it, for pro- gross means bitter farewells to olc memories, however confident we may be of the new future.--Catherlne I Dodd, in Cornhlll.

PLAY NAUGATUCK.
New Haven High School in Second
 Game of the Season.

New Haven Hlgn Scn0Ol Tn second
 Game of the Season.
 The New Haven High school baseball team will play It's second game of the season and first of the Easter vacation this afternoon at the Yale field varsity diamond at o'clock. Their opponents will be the strong Naugatuck High school nine. This game will be a good one as the local team will work hard to win. It will make the third time that these two schools have clash ed on the athletic field.
 On the gridlron the local high smeared Naugatuck by the score of 29-4. The Naugatuck boys turned the trick, however, in basketball, in their own gymnasium. The local high school played this game without two of their star players, In this game they smothered the local boys by an over whelming score. This makes a victory for each team, and the winner of the to-day's baseball game will have two to their credit. The Naugatuck nine have very good team and expect t make the local boys go some. Their great strength lies in their pitcher, which is the weakest spot on the local nine.
 Leary, the crack all round athlete will do the twirling for them. He is considered a star and the local boys will have all they can do to fathom his benders. He played full-back on the eleven, and the four points secured against the local high eleven were made by him, being a beautiful drop kick in the last few minutes of play. Besides this he scored twelve goals in the basketball game against the local high
 The lineup for the local team Is very uncertain. The indications are that nearly the same men as started the season will be given Q show.

 posed of Star Players.

The first game of the series of two do baseball team and the Tigers will be held this afternoon at the Savin Rock baseball grounds at o'clock The battle will be one of the most in teresting amateur games ever held in this city, Both teams are confident and the betting is about even. A decided feature of the contest will he that Roaring Red" Rorty will umpire the game.
 The series of games between these two strong aggregatlons Is due to the misunderstanding as to which team was to play the New Haven State league nine The Tigers got the date from Manager Daily first. then the TuXedos announcing that their team was the stronger were given the datel Billie Lush, who has been ordered by Nashville to report to that club wrote to Daly and told him that the Tigers were the stronger aggregation. In order to settle the question, the New Haven manager decided that the Tuxedos and Tigers should play and see which team was tho better.
 The Tigers will have Q strong line up to-day and so will the Tuxedos. All of the Tuxedo men who will play to- day are members of the association, two of them being taken in at the reg ular meeting held last evening. Three of the members are professionals Daisy Mcl9nroe who played on the Waterbury state league team last sea son. King, who caught in the State league several years ago and played in the outlaw league last season, and Kel- ley, Lawson and Whlldey. who played on the Westville team last year, will play to-day. Jones, a member of last seasons Pastime club of Waterbury, will twirl part of the game to-day, Johnnie Burns will start the game, twiring three innings, Gauggels will pitch the next three and Jones will probably finish the game. Lawson will bo acting captain.

CAN'T HAVE LUSH Farrell, Of Nashville Club, States He Cannot Repre-
 sent Locals.
DAILY NOT AT THE MEETING
Weidenheimcr Announces Only That New Haven Players VIII Arr
 rive Tomorrow.

The baseball magnates of the Con- nectlcut league assembled for a two- hour discussion yesterday afternoon at the Garde hotel and settled the re- maining business preliminary to the opening of the league, April 2S.
 All the manager but Clarkln of Hart ford were present at the meeting. Bert Daley was not present but the other New Haven manager, Mir. Wedenheim- CT was on hand. Connie Danaher also represented the New Haven baseball team. The most important matter discussed at the assemblage was the question of the condition of the Spring field and New Britain ground. It was thought that these two cities would be unable to start the season at home and that this would necessltate changes In the schedule. However Dan O'Neil and MT. Humphrey announced that their grounds were in good condi- tion and that there was no necessity of changing the schedule.
 The "Soffe" question was left to be decided between Gus and the Meriden management At first the old Norwich second baseman was determined that he would not play with Meriden but now he says that will play if they pay him his price. If arrangements are not made and the matter settled soffel will have to appear before the nationl committee and then probably play in- dependent ball.
 Mum was the word with most of the managers yesterday and especial ly the local management. who will have charge of the New Haven base ball team this summer Is stlll a ques- ton. Daley has not paid Danneher and Connie says he still has charge of the team. He appointed Harry Con way official scorer for the coming sea- son and is already making arrange ments to take control of the local az gregation should Daley and Weiden. heimer fail to hand over the agreed sum- Daley Is still lingering in tho darkness and will not announce his lineup while .Weldenhelmer who is staying in this city stated that the players will arrive tomorrow night. Ht would not state which players were coming saying that he didn't know New Haven's first preliminary game is with Montreal at Montreal on Good Friday and it is necessary that the player get out for practice Monday.
 Although not officially, 1t Is thought that Ham Wade who is no longer or the New York Nationals pay roll vii play with the locals this summer. That Billie Lush will not play with the To- calls is certain as Weidenheimer as z result of a telegram sent by him tc Farrell of the Nashville baseball clul was notified that Lush canont be con nected fin any possible way with an, baseball club except Nashville. Farrel states that Lush cannot act as benci manager but there Is a question as tt whether Farrell has the right to stoJ him. The Nashville manager write! that if Lush attempts to join any clul he will be blacklisted.

AUTO TAX OF SlO,OOo.
Motor Vehicles Bring In Large Sum to
 Highway Commissioner.

In a recent talk before the automo- bile club of Hartford state Highway Commissioner Macdonald, referring to the increasing use of our highways by automobiles, pointed out that the de- velopment of tho country during the next twenty years would depend on the roads as one of the most import ant factors, mainly on account of their use by motor vehicles.
 When transportation problems were being solved by the increased use of steam roads and trolleys, tho use of were of decreased necessity to the people their early decadence was pre- dicted
 But now the automobile has so in- creased In use, and the auto industry still in its infancy-ls growing so rapidly, that In the future more in- stead of less attention will have to be paid to our highways.
 There are at present over five thou sand cars registered in Connecticut, and it is probably safe to assume that there will very soon be double that number One concern. the Corbln Motor Vehicle company of New Brit ain, reports that their sales this year have been 90 per cent more than last year for the same period, and daubtless other manufacturers are equally prosperous.
 Besides the cars built and owned in the state, our Connecticut scenery 1 invites thousands of tourists to tray erse its highways every year
 Investigation shows that the taxes on motor vehicles brings in from SS5,OO0 to $4O.OOO year to the state which is turned over to the highway | commissioner.
