AFTER FRED JEAN.
The Big Fellow Still Out of the
 Game,

Hartford, Oct 29.-Manager Phe- Ian of the Worcester polo club was in this city Tuesday trying to engineer a deal that will provide the re-en- trance into the game of Fred Jean and strengthen the Hartford and New Britain, lineups. besides furnishing Worcester with a capable rusher. The strengthening process certainly won't hurt the New Britain team. Some thing will have to be done over there and as Jean refuses to wear a New Britain uniform it Is believed that an arrangement can be made whereby he can play elsewhere and New Britain profit by its present ownership of the player. Soxy Lyons wants to return to his old position with New Britain and MT Kenny, the acting manager, will try to secure his release from Worcester. If the proposed deal goes through 1t is believed that Hartford will be in position to fight right up to the top. The securing of Barney Doherty was master stroke on Man ager Starkie's part. Barney had George Bone so worried in the game at New Haven on Monday night that Bone didn't know whether he was playing second rush or third base.

informed that he was wanted ID America to race Hayes he consented without delay and signed the con- tract. A cable message was received from Italy yesterday that Dorando would sail week from next satur- day.
 It Is not very certain that Hayes will be at liberty to race the Italian on account of his theatrical engage ment. He has a contract for twen- ty weeks, but 1t does not stipulate whether the job shall he continuous or periodical. He has spent only three weeks of the twenty so far. and if he is forced to work on all his time 1t may be away In the spring before he is free to meet Dorando.
 No athletic contest of modern times created such feeling as the finish of this particular Marathon. Dorando, who was leading by anout four minutes, collapsed after enter ing the stadium. Half mile or so outside the road Dorando, 1t was said. received drink of champagne which caused his legs to give way under him. At any rate he was in a frfghtful state and sprawled on the track. but the bystanders In their excitement helped him to his feet and he managed to crawl across the line. A protest was lodged by the Americans and Hayes got the race. A special prize was presented to Dorando by her Majesty Queen Alexandra, who made the presenta- ton herself. He got a tremendous ovation from the crowd of 60,00o persons present.

ATHLETES AT THE VATICAN.
Young Catholic Men From Ever,
 Country Compete,

The international sporting congress, organized for the pope's jubilee and
 held in the courtyard of the Belve- dere at the vatican, which was
 changed into stadium, with cinder path for the obstacle and fiat races, two fields for the high and long jumps, physical exercises and other
 events, a throne erected on raised
 platform for the pope, the members of
 the sacred college and the pontifical
 court, and a wide enclosure all
 around for the guests, was the most important of the kind ever held there
 and proved complete success. Fully
 2,00G athletes, among whom twenty
 were from the National Gymnastic un- ion of Montreal, Canada; fifty from the Dublin Athletic club and the Young Mems society, 100 from Bel gium and 150 from France partici- pated in the sports.
 The Irish team carried of all the individual events, such as high and long jumping, rope climbing, obstacle
 races and two fiat races, besides win ming football match against the best Italian team with twelve goals to
 none. The Canadians got the first prize for physical drill. and the re- lmaining teams distinguished them selves in other events too numerous to mention. On the 18th of September "a grand display was held in the pres ence of the pope. The stadium was
 decorated with papal flags and laurel l festoons and crowded with over, 15.- 900 spectators. The Swiss and Pala- ] tine guards, besides the papal gen. darmes in full uniform, were drawn
 around the papal throne, as a guard
 of honor. A flourish of silver trum- pets, followed by the playing of the Ipapal hymn, announced the entrance
 of the pope, who, surrounded by the
 cardinals and his court, and followed by detachment of noble guards, took
 his place on the throne.
 1 Then the athletes, headed by
 bands, entered the stadium and past before the pope. Afterward they
 were drawn ten deep in line, and the teams that had been awarded prizes performed physical exercises. Among the teams that reused great enthusiasm were two, one composed of blind boys and the other of deaf
 mutes from Rome and Turin respect lively, who were so we'll trained that to see them work one could hardly
 believe that some could not see and
 the others could not hear. The pope finally rose and blessed the kneeling
 athletes, who cheered him with great
 enthusiasm. The object of these
 sporting displays in the vatican is to
 collect the young Catholic men of ev- cry country together and to encourage
 healthy exercises; as to use the pope's
 words: "If one must be strong to do
 evil he must be stronger to do good"

DORANDO TO RACE HAYES
Italian Signs Contract to Meet Mara
 thon Winner Here.

Dorando Petri, the Italian who fin- ished first in the Marathon race in the Olympic games at London last July but was disqualified because of being helped across the line. is com ing to America. He has already signed contract with a representa- tive of Pat Powers to come here and race John J. Hayes of the American team who finished second and who subsequently, got first prize. If the pair meet it will be the real sporting sensation of the winter and un- doubtedly a paying venture. It is Powers's intention to race Dorando at Madison Square Garden over the same distance as the Marathon, that Is, 26 miles 3S5 yards.
 For about month Powers's rep resentative, who went to Italy from Paris. has been trying to locate the Italian and only succeeded couple of days ago. When Dorando was

Anty Drudse's Advice to Mrs. Careworn. Mrs. Easuoorb- "Jack and went to tho theatre last
 night. It was fne.' Mrs. Carevorm-" And suppose your wash got a lick
 and promise Any woman who does her work right
 is too tired to go out Monday night.
 ~ You m what what she did. she used Fes- -Naptha soap which
 does the work in half the time and doesn't give you
 backache in doing t.''
 Here are two ways of washing. Choose for yourself:
 The Cd Way. Get up at 5 o'clock. Make hot fire, fill the washboiler and get it boiling. Wet your white clothes, soap them and put them into the boiler. When they're boiled good and tender, rub them hard on the washboard, meanwhile putting others in to boil. Keep the fire good and hot. It will fill the house with nauseous steam but that's necessary in this kind of washing. When noon comes, if the smell of boiling clothes hasn't taken your appe-, tioe, snatch bite of cold lunch. When you have the clothes boiled and rubbed sufficiently, wiring them out, go from the steaming hot room into the cool air out side and hang them on the line. You'll likely catch cold, but 1t must be done.
 The New Way. Get up at 7 o'clock summer and winter. Wet all your clothes, soap we'll with Fels-Naptha and let them soak in cool or lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Then rub lightly, rinse well and hang out to dry. That's all. And your clothes will be cleaner, winter and purer than you could get them in any other way. The whole washing takes only few hours.
 Which way sounds best to youf
 In using -Naptha, follow simple directions printed on the red and green wrapper.

I determined to prove to these simple

up my voice in wfld cry that woke
every echo Of the hills. The Indians
were filed with CONSERVATION. They

YOUR NERVES.
The Most Untirins of All Are Those Of
the Heart.

The Most Untirins of All Are Those Of
the Heart.
The most easily tired nerves in the
body are the nerves of smell. They
can detect the faintest Whit Of per-
fume. AS you pass a rose in the gar
den the quantity of perfume that gets
into your nostril must be many mil.
lions Of billions Of times smaller than
the tiniest grain Of sand. But rub the
strongest perfume on your upper lip
and in a few seconds you fail to no.
tice it, the nerve Of smell Is SO quickly
fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are quite distinct from the
nerves of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you step
into it very soon ceases to cause ANY
particular feeling Of heat.
Nerves Of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount of work.
For sixteen hours day they work
hard and are still willing to do more.
The nerves of the heart are the
most untiring Of all. From the first
dawn of life until the last gasp they
work without stopping for one instant.
And even after death If some sailed
water Is pumped into the heart it COM
mences to beat again, showing that the
nerves are still willing. - Parsons

The difference between love on earth
md love In heaven is not to be con-
Keyed in words, but in tranquil and
pure moods it may even on earth be
apprehended by the sight of the spirit.
Love in heaven has realized all that
earthly love aspires to, and from that
goal it's progress begins, never to cease.
The Sky toward which it yearned in the
world has become the ground on which
It stands here, but now another sky Ii
above it. We forecast heaven as re
pose and peace. the fulfilling of the
hearts desire, the immortal presence
with us Of beauty and happiness. But
man Is not so poorly content. We
leave behind us on earth the obstacles
Of the body, and in heaven we labor
not for bread, 'raiment and shelter;
hearts are not parted by space and
time; we deceive not, strive not one
against the other scheme not to Guido
others for the gain Of our own name
and fame. Yet in heaven are labor,
emulation, ambition, loves holy fear
and humility deeper than hell is deep
below the heavens. Tears we have
also and awe Of that want which only
the divine fullness can supply.-Julian
Hawthorne in Century.
