GOOD TO REMEMBER.

The New London Telegraph is com plaining that marriage notice which is received in good faith from a per- son known to the editor proved to be false and thinks there ought to be a law to punish such offenses. Section I165 of the general statutes is what The Telegraph wants It provides a fine of $100 and six months in prison for this offense. If The Telegraph wants any advice, ours will be that a complaint be made and the offender punished. Republican.
 Every paper has at some time suf- fered from the faked notice. Despite precautions which are taken by every reputable paper it seems almost im- possible to make a newspaper abso- lutely immune from such attacks.
 Even when newspaper does the decent thing and makes an explana- tion for something for which it is in no wise to blame, it carries little eight with many people who seem to like to think that paper would wan tonly make a false statement.
 The practical joker IS often the one who Is responsible. He seems to have no idea of the character of his offense. A newspaper tries to take due care in the publication of notices of births, marriages and deaths. but once in while what Is accepted in good faith proves to be a fake. And the worst of it is that it is difficult to locate the fakir.-Meriden Journal.
 The offence which is complained of is often malicious and criminal and is sneaked through frequently by the for gerry of names. It is no joke, and 1t Is of a character which leaves no doubt of bad motives. The best of papers are taken in by these mischief makers and deserve the protection of the law, as suggested to The Tele- graph. and it should make move against the villain if he can be iden- tifed. The Bulletin would like to see one such faker in prison.

A great firm of seedsmen in Read ing, England, which is endeavoring to establish strain of potatoes healthy enough to resist the attacks of the fungus which produces the dry rot in these tubers, is employing a woman botanist, Miss Sybil Longman, to con- duct the investigations. Miss Long man has won a reputation for research work, and not long ago gave the re- suits of her study of the potato fungus before the Linnaean society, which has a good many well known women in its ranks. So far, however, Miss Long
 man has not discovered how to pro- tect the potato from this fatal fungus.

HOW OPINIONS ON
GREAT GAME CHANGE

isn't it strange how opinions Of
spectators at a ball game suddenly
changer" remarked a fan at Front and
Union streets, Saturday afternoon,
while the duPont-Southside game was
in progress. "Just listen to those
fellows on the seat behind us; one
minute they're apipaudng a player for
some star play and declaring that he'll
be in some big league club next year.
while a moment later they have their
hammers going good and hard pound
ing the same player for some miscue
and saying that he never did know
how to play baseball and the team
would. be better off without him. But
that's the way it goes Baseball is a
great game. like to see the teams
play, but I never get excited" At
this point in the conversation there
was sudden interruption caused by
Beatty catching a low one and lining
it out along the right field foul line
for a home run. while the fan who
never got excited performed a war
dance and let loose a wild whoop that
would have done credit to a band of
Indians on the warpath.
