 - The Deep River Independent team of the Southern Middlesex league defeated the Essex-Ivoryton team Saturday afternoon on the Center brook grounds, 6 to 2. Duff Joy, the local pitcher, had all kinds of speed and while Perkins, the Essex pitcher, pitched good ball. he was unsteady with men on bases. Um- pire Desmond called the game in the last half of the ninth when the players had to seek shelter from the downpour of rain. The score:
 RH.E. Deep River 01o3O01o1-610 6 Essex .. ..0200 0-2 4 4
 Batteries-Joy and Daniels; Per kins and Watrous.
 All other games in the Middlesex league were postponed on account of rain.
 Steady pitching by Daisy McEnroe and excellent support by his team mates enabled the new Lighthouse Point baseball team to walk away from the, Seymour A. c. team at the Point yesterday afternoon with 10 to 2 score, This was the first game of the newly organized Light house team which will represent the popular summer resort for the re- mainder of the season, playin' games on Saturdays and Sunday, The game was well worth going tC the Point to see as up to the fifth inning neither team scored, and the pitchers pulled their teams out of many large holes.
 In a game which dark clouds threatened to stop at any moment, the Seymours easily defeated the Newfields 10 to 2. Potter pitched a great game for the Seymours and famed Is Newfelders and was in- with men on bases.
 Schuster and Gusdropsky fur nished the fielding features with phenomenal running catches in left center. The score R.H.E.I Newfelds 010000- Al Seymour O 3 .-10 g 8

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 23.-There

the anti-Castro demonstrations of
Dec. 10 and IA, but the enforced res.
1gnation of the Castro cabinet Is re.
garded as going far toward sealing
the fate of President Castro in Ven

logical outcome of the fact that Act

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 23.-
Vice President Gomez. to whom Presi.
dent Castro handed over the presiden-
cy on his departure for Europe, has
established new government in
Venezuela. He has replaced the old
ministry, the leader Of which was
DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul, the minister
of foreign affairs in the negotiations
that eliminated in the ousting of Min
lister De Rues and the severance of
diplomatic relations with Holland,
with a new body of men who repre-
sent various factions in the state and
who have figured prominently in va.
rious ways in the political history of
the country.
Not only has DR.. Paul disappeared
from the councils of the nation, but
DR.. Baldo, who is now travelling in
Castro's suite abroad, also has been
removed from his official position as
minister OF education. General Diego
Ferren, the minister of war, who also
was war minister in the cabinet of
Acting President Gomez in 1906, has
been superseded by General Regulo
Olivares, who took a prominent part
In crushing the reyolutionists six

ests in the Colorado and Southern
Railway company, including Edwin
Hawley. who is said to be the largest
individual stakeholder, and Frank
Trumbull. the president of the road,

The acquisition of the road by the
Burlington gives the Hill system, the
Burlington being owned by the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railway companies, it's long desired

practically the same relationship to

bears to the Hartman system. Until
this announcement, however, it was
generally supposed that James ].

FOR THOSE WHO KNIT.
Directions for Making Dainty Three
Cornered Shawl.

The materials required for a COM
Portable and dainty three-cornered
shawl are two bone knitting needles,
No. 9, and double Berlin or fancy wool.
First: Cast on three stitches and knit
off plain. Second: Make one at end of
every other row by knitting into the
bottom part of the loop and then into
actual stitch. Knit backward and for
ward, garter stitch, until there are $50
stitches on the needle Third: Knit
six rows without increasing. Fourth:
Decrease at the end of every other
row by taking the last two stitches to-
gether until three loops remain and
then cast off, The decreasings must
be made at the same ends of the rows
that the increasings were made. Fifth:
Finish off the edge all around with a
crochet edging. This shawl is easily
and quickly made. and II made in a
delicate eolored wool will be extreme
ly dainty. It can be worn as a hood
as well as shawl by putting one
corner over the head and drawing the
other two over the shoulders and un-
der the chin. -
