TENNIS WEATHER.
Opening Matches Were Begun at
 s Newport This Morning

Newport, R. l., Aug 1S.-The weather conditions for the opening matches of the twenty-eighth annual tournament for the national cham p!onship in tennis singles were ex- cellent when play was begun on the courts of the Casino club to-day. The light rain of last night placed the courts at their best, and the sun shope through clear skies during the forenoon.
 Most of the players reported to Referee Dr James Dwight of Boston early in order to fulfill the regula- tions of the tournament, but the us- ual defaults were recorded. although most of the. prominent players were present.
 Te interest of the day centered in Sthe' challenge match of the doubles Championship in which H. H. Hack cit and F. B. Alexander of New York defended their title against Beals c. Wright of Boston and Raymond D. Little of New York. This contest as usual was allotted the championship court.
 In the meantime the competition in the singles had begun on the fif- teen courts, and in the locker rooms was scene of hustle caused by the arrival of the many players. The green lawns of the club grounds were utilized by many women as vantage points, their bright colored gowns af- fording strong contrast to the grassy background.

FOUND BY HONEST BOY
$100 Check and $ Bill Returned
 by Democrat R0uie Carrier.

John A. Costello of PA Cherry street, Democrat newsboy, picked up an envelope on Bank street, op- posite the filling Rubber Co. yester- day afternoon containing an in- dorsed check for $1O0 and $5 bill. Like all other. newsies who want to keep up with the procession, young Costello doesn't let the grass grow under his feet once he gets hold of his papers, but hustles right along until he serves his last customer: On this account he didn't bother his head with the envelope until he got home and sat down to examine the contents. The check was from Guiseppi Colucci to Maria Bruno, and was good for its face value. When the boy realized what he had in his possession he hurried down to the police statioh and turned the whole thing over to Superintendent Beach. Colucci is in New Haven jail serving out sentence for chew ing of womans ear, but Mrs Bruno is in town and was sent for and came in and got the check and the $5. She left $1 for the honest little newsy and when Johnnie was given his we'll earned reward he smiled and disappeared feeling as rich as if he owned a million. That's a good start" remarked Superin- tendent Beach. Unless I miss my guess that youngster will make his mark in the world Ho Is A hripht

PREDICTS JAPANESE WAR.
Member of British Parliament Says
 Conflict Is Unavoidable.

Montreal, Aug 1S.-T. Hamer Greenwood. the most prominent Canadian in the British parlia- ment and a member of the execu- tive committee of the liberal party of Great Britain who is visiting Canada, predicts conflict between Japan and America. He says:
 Japan is herself preparing to re- strics the overflow of her people into countries where they are not want ed, but It does not require a prophet to foresee that the feeling between these swarthy John Bulls of the Pa> cific and the white races of America will soon become acute and may mean war. Just now Japan is hav- ing tremendous struggle to make both ends meet in. national finances and has cut down her naval and mill itary programme by large amounts. l have no doubt myself, however, that when she gets over the econom- ic losses of the late war with Rus sia there, will be trouble. If she can stir up and force an alliance with half-awakened China the yell low peril will be a reality"

Clean Food,

It is a good deal more important that food shall not carry the germs of dis ease than that 1t shall be chemically pure. Table salt, for example. may contain some soda salts other than the chloride and still be perfectly health ful. Corn bread Is less healthful when made from pure cornmeal than when 1t has some admixture of wheat four. But food that Is not clean may be more dangerous than any adulterated food product sold today. provided the adulterated article carries no disease germs.-Boston Advertiser.

AN HONEST ARTIST.
He Would Not Paint Lie Even For
 a Napoleon.

He Would Not Paint Lie Even For
 Napoleon.
 There was no love lost between the Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin, Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians called "Plon Plon." The prince used to make abusive speeches against the, emperor, which people were only too ready to repeat to him. Let him alone" Louis Napoleon would reply. He is too well known. No one would turn me out to place him on the throne"
 The emperor was correct, for no one said a good word about "Plon Plon." He was commonly believed to have shown the white feather in the Crimea and never exposed himself where the lead was falling. An English lady who in her younger days mingled with French society tells in her Foreign Courts and Foreign Homes" a story as discreditable to Prince Napoleon as it is honorable to a French artist.
 While the artist was painting the historical picture of the battle of the Alma. which the emperor had ordered, Prince Napoleon called at the painters studio to make known to him the facts. On leaving he said he wished the prominent figure in the battle to be himself mounted on his white charger. He sent the horse to the artist, so that he could paint its exact portrait. When the picture was finished and in- vitations were sent out for a private view" the white charger was seen, a prominent figure in the battle. but without n rider. .s't
 On hearing of this terrible omission the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask the reason. The honest artist said the horse should remain if the. prince wished. but no rider would be on it. "Tell the prince have never yet painted lie" The hint was taken. The prince ordered the horse to be rubbed out

MISS WARDS BODY
Broughtto City To. day Funeral
 VIII be Tomorrow Morning.

s7 .
 The body of Miss Catherine L. Ward was recovered yesterday after noon about 8 o'clock by Peter Nell son.. deck hand on tugboat, which reached the scene of the fatality only few minutes, before the corpse came to the surface. It had evident ly lain from the time of her disap- pearance at the foot of the Passaic river between two coal scows.
 Relatives of Miss Ward who reside In Believille, and who had had foree of eight men dragging the river since Saturday night, were on the spot and had the remains conveyed to Mullins morgue, a few blocks dis tant. Here it was viewed by County Physician Elliott an hour later. who gave burial permit. William H. Nolan, brother-in-law of Miss Ward, reached the morgue a few minutes after and immediately ad- vised the relatives in Waterbury of the finding of the body.
 Patrick Bergin, the undertaken of this city, who had left Newark at noon for home, but who had missed train connections at New York, called the morgue on the telephone about o'clock and on being informed of the finding of the body, hurried to Newark to assist in arranging for its removal to Waterbury. He. together with MT Nolan and James T. Boylan and Andrew l.. Boylan of Belleville, cousins of. Miss Ward, accompanied the remains to Waterbury, arriving here at. 10:57 o'clock this morning, when they were removed to the fam fly residence.
 In regard to the mistaken identifi- cation of another victim of the boat ing accident as that of Miss Ward, her relatives gave the following state ment, to a reporter of the Democrat:
 The accident happened at about o'clock Saturday night and at mid night the searching party recovered the body of a woman from the waters of the Passaic. Grouped about the scene were several members of the boating party, all suffering from the effects of their terrible experience. One of them, said to be the father of Haldon Davey, another victim of the tragedy, identified the body as that of Miss, Ward. It was taken to the morgue. Messrs James T. and An drew IL. Boylan reached the morgue about an hour later, but would no. be permitted to view the remains. The. body was covered with coal tar, with which the river bottom is filled at the point where the accident oc- cured. It comes from. the gas plant located . close by. The Belleville folks then sent word to Waterbury telling of the accident and returned home. The body was treated at the morgue and in the morning the Belle vile relatives of Miss Ward re- turned. On looking over the ring and watch taken from the body of the river victim they at once decided that there must be some mistake. Together with Mir Bergin, who had meanwhile reached the morgue, they then viewed the remains and found that the body was. not that of Miss Ward. Soon afterward it was iden- tified positively as that of. Mrs Cari Pankonf, and the work of dragging the river for the. body of the Water bury girl was resumed"
 The funeral will be held to St Thomas's church at S:3O o'clock to- morrow morning, The burial will be In new St Joseph's cemetery.
