this was undignified and succeeded in
having the superintendent Of public

removed. F. Il. Cleaveland, principal

only few words to convince the Sec

were again placed on sale in the mon

"For this action" said Principal
Cleaveland In discussing the incident,
"Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude Of

A Bad Railway Wreck.

A recent issue of the London Engi-
neer contains an account Of railway
accident in Australia in which forty
eight persons were killed and 419 were
injured. The Australian correspondent
writes:
"After the accident the state Of af-
fairs was rendered more horrible by
fire which broke out. Unlike the Amer
lean trains. Australian trains are not
fitted with axes, hammers, jacks and
such appliances to facilitate the remov-
al of the victims after an accident, and
a great deal of the trouble and even
many of the deaths may be directly
traced to the delay In eXtricating the
sufferers from the burning debris.
"Not only is Victoria an example Of
a country where the railways are en-
tirely owned and controlled by the
state, but for many years 1t has been
held up as q model Of the advantages
which follow that political system. At
one time in this state of Victoria public
safety was regarded as Of greater con-
sequence than revenue. Latterly, how
ever, the local press has been com.
planning that too great economies are
being practiced for safety"

BASEBALL TOPICS.

Southford B. B. T. played the Nan. gatuck clerks on the Diamond Match Co. s grounds on Wednesday, July 29, the score being g to ' in favor of the clerks. While the Southford players were led to believe they were to play the clerks of Naugatuck, in reality they played part of the Danbury team, Seymour, Waterbury and Naugatuck. The Southford nine have challenged the clerks for return game. and we will arrange our ball grounds so that they will have the appearance of grocery stores and meat markets. And we will put white aprons on our flag pole. And in case they give us a return game and the Southford nine defeats, them. we will hire an undertaken to carry them home. Shepherd, the So ,thford pitch CT, pitched splendid game, striking out 9 men, but had very poor support.
 The second game was played on July 30 between Southford B. B. T. and Hotchkissville, the score being IS to r in favor of Hotchkissville. t.
 There was a game on August 1 be- tween the Southford B. B. T. and the Trimmers of Waterbury, score beng 3 to 0 in favor of Southford. Fraser, the new Southford pitcher, pitched one of the incest games that was ever seen in this vicinity, striking out 15 men. Fraser's speed was so fast that the trimmers did not even ask for return game.
 Southford B. B. T. will play Zoar Bridge on the Diamond Match Co. $ grounds, Saturday, August 8, at 8 p. m.
 While the ball game was being played Saturday. Mrs Frank Whitney was struck with foul ball, which rendered her unconscious. She was immediately talk en hone.
 The game of ball which was to be played on August at Quaker's Farms between the Quaker Farms and Hull's Hill B. E. T. was postponed as Olley Christensen got cold feet when he heard two or three of the Southford players were engaged to play.

A VISIT TO LIFE FARM.

A visit to the Life Farm at this time of the year makes one realize how much good is being done for the. little folks of New York. Two hundred of them at a time come here and are given a chance to breathe the pure air and play on the green grass and be given three good meals every day for two weeks. It is sight long to be remembered as you see the 200 little folks line up for their dinner when the signal for meal time is given and then to see them at the tables as they slowed away the good heathly food. Ii you dcubt.it is Christian work visit to the Life Farm would soon change your mind and Rev and Mrs U. 0. Mohr, who have charge of the work here, are the rlghttper- sons in the right place and are to be congratulated on the good work they are doing. A look at the little folks when they come and then in two weeks when they go home speaks for itself. May they and their efficient helpers be spared many years to carry on the good work.
