"sIsI" DAYS wHoPPER.

Sim" Day caught big codfish outside of Nanaimo harbo- in Van couver bay and it was on exhibition at the Vendome hotel in Victoria. On it's being dissected most remarkable state of things was discovered. In side the big fellow was another cod fish about twenty inches in length, and inside this was a rockcod eigh- teen inches long, and inside this again was another ten inches in length. To make the story complete, inside the innermost cod was the her ring which Day had used as bait. The big fish was dissected behind the vendome hotel in the presence of a crowd. All the spectators are ready to bet on the truth of the story.

THE RUNNERS.
An Italian Boy Who Can Make Them
 Step Some. L

For many years England has cher ished the belief that she is possessed of the greatest long distance runners in the world, and there has beer good reason for that belief. But this year Italy has come to the front as rival for distance running hon ors, and it may not be long before the Italians will lead the world at this branch of sport. Dorando sprang a surprise by his great showing in the Olympic Marathon, but the greatest exhibition of running yet uncovered was that given by d twelve-year-old boy named Joseph Rubini, at recent crOss-country race near Teramo, Italy.
 The race was at distance of about twenty-five kilometres, or fif- teen miles, was held under the aus pices of the Touring club of Italy, and all of the best runners in the section competed.
 Rubini's time for the race was officially given as hour, 21 min utes and 36 seconds, which is re- markedly fast for the distance, and is only 1 minute 32 2-5 seconds slower than the worlds record made by Sid Thomas at Herne Hill, in England on October 22, 1892.
 Reports of the race received here say that much of the course over which the race was run included rought streets and steep hills, ana at these places little Giuseppe Ru' bini was enthusiastically cheered by the spectators who lined the course. And well he might be cheered. When Rubini gets little older he will probably make the greatest run ners of other nations look well to their laurels.
 By the way, these foreigners who are beginning to make a noise in athletic circles are all drinkers fl their statements concerning their l training are correct. Dorando lives principally on wine, and Raoul de 1 Rouen, the recently arrived wrestler l who resembles an angle mastodon is another who is very partial to wine. The latter explains his par i tiality for the juice of the grape by saying that he mixes it with water l1apas .iss tsksess1 Ae curse off the water.'
 H2 o on the other side must be oi the murky variety.
 | Besides being great runner, this ! man Dorando Pietri is remarkable in that he was the first athlete on rec ord whose first name is world fam ous. while his surname is a eompar' ative stranger to even a great many of those who saw the dramatic eli max to the Olympic Marathon which made him famous. Generally it is I just the other way.
 Why woHldnt Collins make a rec. ord ,runain the struggle for the five mile championship on Tuesday night? It all came out yesterday The worlds record at that distance was held by Carter, an Englishman now a newspaper man in New York Collins was tagging bit at one stage of the race, when Pat Conway president of the Irish-American Ath. letic club, yelled at him: "An Eng lishman holds the record for this event, Tom. Go after it. Then Tom cut loose and landed the stai event of the great meet.

FAIRFIELD CLERGY FOR HILL.
Oppose Banks for Speaker Because of
 Altitude on Liquor Question.

q az
 The Fairfield Association of Con gregational ministers. which includes all of the ministers of this denomi- nation in Fairfield county, has held a meeting at the Congregational church in New Canaan.
 Various matters of church policy and government were discussed, but the most important matter was the report of the legislative committee of the association. This committee re- ported that a considerable number of bills would be introduced into the legislature with regard to moral and civic reform and they urged that the ministers keep careful watch over such measures to prevent them from being side-tracked.
 The report had high words of com mendation for Hon E. J. Hill as a candidate for the United States sem ate. It was stated that Congressman Hill stands for the highest things in our political life. The report stated that while the committee was not fa- miliar with any of the other candi- dates for the speakership of the house, they had learned from credible authority that Elmore s. Banks, in his association with the county com missioners had played fast and loose and had shown sympathy With the brewers and saloon keepersS Indeed, he had been known on several oc- casions while connected with the county commissioners ofice to act in behalf of the very saloon keepers upon whose acts the county commits sioners were called to pass judgment. It was the belief of the committee that man of higher type ought to be found for the speakership.
 In this connection, brief inter- view with Congressman Hill on the political situation in Fairfield coun- ty is of interest and reads thus:
 What do you think of the stanr that Sheriff Hawley of your county has taken in favor of Brandegee?" That is matter that concerns the sheriff only; he of course, has a right to doeas he pleases."
 Congressman Hill appeared to be entirely satisfied with the way things were coming, senatorially speaking, and did not appear to be at all wor- ried over Sheriff Sid Hawley's decla- ration for Brandegee, for which he is now getting a scorching from Fair field county republicans.
 Senator Frank Butterworth of New Haven and National Committee man Charles F. Brooker, who have been in Washington at a conference in relation to Congressman Hills canvass, are reported in Bridgeport as being confident that he will beat out Brandegee in the republican cau- GUS next month.
 State Central Committeeman Mac donald of this city says that Brande- gee will beat Hill "2 to l."
 The republican representatives elect in the state are being liberally papered" by both Brandegee and Hill adherents.

"ToM" DowD MAY BE CHOSEN.
He Gave Williams One Star Nine and
 May Have Chance to Try Again.

The latest possibility for coach of the Williams college baseball team for next spring is Thomas J. Dowd of Holyoke, who coached the nine three years ago and gave to the college one of the strongest teams of recent years. 7 The management has been III correspondence with Dowd, and the latter; will go to Williamstown short- ly to confer with the authorities rela- tive to the matter. Dowd was at the college only one year, but the team which he produced was a strong one. It developed better batting than is usual in a college team, and alto gether the coaching of Dowd was most satisfactory. Another engage ment prevented Dewd from consider ing an offer for the next year.
 The negotiations with Dowd, are wholly tenative as yet. but It is ex- pected that the matter will be defin- itely settled within few days. Other men with whom the management Is corresponding are William Lauder of New York, coach last year, and William Lush of Chicago.

BOUNDING THE INFINITE.
Are the Number of Stars In Space
 Without Limit?

Without Limit?
 How many stars are there? It is not known, but most astronomers believe the number is not unlimited, The, ar gument is that with an infinite uni verse of stars the heavens would be one uniform blaze of light. The more distant stars are, of course, dinner: some are too far away to affect the naked eye at all, but no matter how slight the units an infinite number of them would produce the effect de scribed.
 AS there is no uniformly blazing sky, the number of stars, though possibly immensely great, must be limited. This argument is supplemented in Il recent astronomical paper by similar one drawn from grayitation. Every star, no matter how distant, exercises its own power of attraction on every other heavenly body, including our earth.
 However, as the earth's center is farther away from the attracting body than it's surface is, particles on the earth's surface are attracted with greater force than those at the center, and the practical result is to lessen the force with which the earth's mass is held together.
 Now, if the number of stars Is inf mite. this decrease would be so great that weight on the earth would practl- cally cease to exist. Moreover, the same conditions would prevail every where throughout boundless universe and probably ali masses would be dis rupted. That this, result does not oc- cur is a proof, we are told. that the number of heavenly bodies in exist ence is not infinite.
 These arguments make certain as. 'sumptions that may or may not be granted; they can neither be proved nor disproved. The argument from light as sumes that light waves are transmit ted through space without loss; that from grayitatlon assumes that the same thing is true for gravitational attraction.
 If light or gravitation is absorbed or lost in some way when passing from star to star, the number of stars may be infinite after all. At its best the speculation is more curious than con clusiye.--Chicago Record Herald.
