NOW IN NEW YORK
Girl Who Lell Her gsme en DauII Street Yeslerdsy Located By
 Detective CsIessnle.

Miss Philomena Jamele. the IT. year-old daughter of Mir and Mrs Win cenzo Jamele of Bank street, who dis appeared from her home yesterday af- ternoon has been located in New York. Why the young girl left her home is a mystery. She started for New York yesterday immediately af- ter depositing $250 in the Manufac- turers bank. Philomena works for her father, who is one of the most prosperous Italians of the town. Yes- terday afternoon about o'clock she was sent to the bank with the amount of money mentioned above and after depositing 1t the was to call on the Darby family on Highland avenue. She went to the bank all right, but did not make the call she said she was going to.
 Last evening when she did not re- turn as early as usual, her parents became worried and failing to get any trace of her they notified the po- lice. Detective Thomas Colesanto started out on the case and before he finished his evenings work found that the young girl had left this city on a trolley car bound for New Ha- ven. Early this morning oClesanto located her in New York. She was with one of her uncles.
 There seems to be an air of mys- tery about the case and the only req son attributed for the girl going away is that she had quarrel with one of her sisters. The police at first, so they say, were inclined to believe that the child had met with foul play and secured the woods and brush on Highland avenue in the vicinity of where the black hand murder occur red about year ago.

 The friends of MT Wright in France are trying to persuade him to fly across the English channel OH the ground that such feat would furnish the best evidence of his ab- solute confidence in his machine.

New York, Sept 25.-With the New York National league club and the Chicagoians, who yesterday fought out strenuously at the Polo grounds the final scheduled game of their series. playing on either sido of East river to-day, the local en- thusiasts were again out in full force. The Cincinnatis were to-day's opponents of the New Yorks and Brooklyn was entertaining the west -erners across the bridge. With Chi cago and Pittsburg tied in second place and New York's lead main tained by yesterdays 5 to victory, the followers of the home team arc now quite calmly speculating as to just what will be the ultimate fate of President Pulliam's ruling Wednes- day making 1 to tie of the game in which Merkle is alleged to have foregone the formality of touching second base when he saw that Nc Cormick was home. There is also much discussion of yesterday s phantom game" of which the Chi cagoes played one inning all by themselves without the presence of umpires, claiming a 9 to 0 victory over New York for the latter's fail ure to appear on the day succeeding tie to play 1t off. In case the Giants win the pennant these two singular occurrences will doubtless soon be- come merely talking material for the enthusiasts who cheer up the dull months between seasons with retro spects. But, in case New York needs game after all, President Pulliam and the directors to whom formal appeal may be made will be strongly in the limelight.
 Boston, Sept 25.-Although the Boston National league base ball team is in sixth position in the pen nant race, to-day's double header with the Pittsburg team attracted un- usual interest inasmuch as on it's out come partially depends second place in the race. At present both Pitts burg and Chicago are tied for second place with standing of 1925. Should Pittsburg win both games to- day that team would have standing of .630, breaking even on the double header would give percentage of 1928, while the loss of both, games would mean a standing of .616. If Chicago should defeat Brooklyn the western team would have percent age of .627, but if Chicago should lose this afternoon her standing would be .620. From these figures '5xsxffT Dgsis glE4ef1fr DnfcAso wins Its game with Brooklyn 1t will hs necessary for Pfttsburg to win both games with Boston Tn order to have lead. If Chicago loses in Brook lyn and Pittsburg breaks even with Boston, the Pennsylvania team would then have slight lead over it's west ern competitor.

Green Oysters.

In Europe green oysters, called
groenbarden or marennes, are espe-
cially priced, and to meet the de-
mand oysters are greened by placing
them as soon as captured in sea wa
ter, where they are kept for months
and fed on a species of seaweed
which imparts the coloring matter
to the gills.
From carefully conducted inyesti-
cations it appears that in some cases
green oysters owe their color to the
presence of copper. Such oysters
are not generally considered desir-
able as food.
Green oysters containing copper
differ in appearance from those ow-
ing their green tint to vegetable col
oring matter, being grass green and
not dark green in color and having
verdigris-like shiny secretion on
the folds of the mantle. 1t is said
that after the addition of vinegar
steel fork stuck into such oysters
becomes coated with copper and
that if ammonia is added the oysters
become dark blue.-New York Sun.

Lean Year PROPOSALS.

What woman has ever availed
herself of the privilege of proposing
in leap year? Nevertheless. it is
interesting TO discover whence the
idea arose. "Her maist blessit maj
este Margaret" decrced in the year
1888 that during her reign every
maid of Scotland, whether of high
or low degree, should speak to the
man she loved. If he were not be-
trothed already he must marry the
maid or pay f100. Queen Margaret
died, and the women were then
clamorous for this strange privilege
to continue. TO appease them an
act of parliament was passed allow
ing the maidens to make their pro-
posals every fourth year. London

The Crab as Eishsrman.

The crab sometimes catches fish,
and it catches it without hook and
line. 1t lies in wait, perhaps in
some creek, with its claws extended
in front and open. Perhaps school
of killies comes along, and it may
be that killie on the outskirts of
the school may swim unsuspecting-
ly along through the clear water be-
tween the upper and lower parts of
one of the motionless open claws OF
the crab. When it is well within
them the claw suddenly snaps to-
gether, and that particular little
killie goes nu farther.

OLD lin salpeEs.
A Rocky Meuntain Guide Who Theusht
Munehausen Was a Liar.

A Rocky Mountain Guide Who Though,
Munehaussn Was a Liar.
Sir George Gore, wealthy Irish
sportsman, began in 1855 hunting
expedition among the Rocky noun
tains which occupied two years and
exceeded anything of the kind ever
seen on this continent. The outfit
consisted of fifty persons, including
secretaries, steward, cooks, fymak-
ers, dog tenders, servants, train
Of thirty wagons and numerous sad
die horses and dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir Georges
guide and interpreter, and no man
on the frontier knew the glens and
passes Of the mountains so accurate
ly as he did. Though illiterate and
as unconventional as an Indian,
Bridger was honest, kind, generous
and shrewd-just the man to at
tract the Irish sportsman.
In his "0ld Santa Fe Trail" Colo
mel Inman describes the companion
ship of the two men-one a rich,
educated, whole souled Irish noble
man, the other man who from
boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending on his tact and rifle for
food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until
10 o'clock in the morning. Then he
took a bath, ate his breakfast and
set out generally alone for the days
hunt 1t was not unusual for him
to remain out until 10 at night, and
he seldom returned without "meat."
His dinner was then served, to
which he extended an invitation to
Bridger.
After the meal was over Sir
George was in the habit of reading
from some book and drawing out
from Bridger his ideas about the
author.
The Irishman usually read from
Shakespeare, which Bridger reck-
oned was too highfalutin for him.
"rhet thar big Dutchman, Mr..
Fullstuff," he commented, "was
leetle too fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the Adventures
Of Baron Munchausen" to Bridger,
who remarked that he'd be dog
goned eff he swallowed everything
that thar baron said. He thought
he was ''liar," yet acknowledged
that some of his own adventures
among the Blackfeet would be
equally wonderful "if writ down in
1 book"
Bridger thought Sir George sue
,essful hunter, an opinion justified
BY the records of the two years
lunt-forty grizzly bears, $500 buff !
aloes, numerous antelopes and 9TH ,
