the question of loss of social prestige
seldom enters into the subject of wheth-

cheap sport, but he Is no fool and has
established himself comfortably with
capital enough e start in business any
where he pleases, and still have money
left for reVerSeS. Whether Tannehill
will agree TO play i'm the minor leagues
IS uncertain, for he has frequently said
that when he was through with the big
circuit he would retre-and he can
make good at that. AltrOck Is not sup

more or less true. Our Misera5les have
gotten on the nerves of the sporting

hopes just about the time the Maps

somebody in Cleveland is deliberately

Just to LajOic and the Cleveland owners.

was from Cleveland last year that the
first clear statement came OF the trouble
between Bob Ganlev and Bin Burns, in
which Ganley smashed Burns at St.
Louis in the ribs with a bat. The
stories were absolutely correct although

DEuTscH MARKET SUPPER.
Successful Affair Given by xens at the
 First Baptist Church.

The Deutsch market supper given by the Xens at the First Baptist church Tuesday evening drew gathering of very satisfactory size and the unique method of obtaining the various tempting articles of food displayed was productive of much merriment and so- ciability.
 At the door an envelope was given to each conner containing tickets and these tickets were exchanged for the eatables at the different tables. The first table, at which were displayed all-hots, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, rye bread, bologna sausage and liverwurst, was in charge of Mrs. W. J. Boonz, Mrs. Herbert Wiley. At the second cold meats, salads, rolls, pie and cheese were sold by Mrs. William Gilchrist, Miss Kate Wiley, Mrs. Amos c. Swan. Mrs. Charles G. Cobb, Miss Elizabeth Park. Mrs. John B. Oat, Mrs. w. s. Allen were at the cake table, where were also doughnuts and pretzels. Miss Geraldine Oat with her basket sold pop corn and peanuts, and dishes were of- fered by Mrs. w. J. Koonz and Mrs. Charles Perkins. Coffee was poured by Mrs. George Auburn and Mrs. Phil lips. All of the women were charming ly dressed in Dutch costume with caps and 'kerchiefs. The whole affair was successful in every particular and will net handsome sum for the Xens.

CHELSEA ANCHORED
 DURING THE STORM.
Did Not Attempt Trip Through the Sound Until the Fury Was Over, Tuesday Morning.

It was hard night on the Sound Monday night and the boats all had rough trips. Included in this was the Chelsea of the Norwich & New York Propeller Co., which found it so bad that Captain Colberg decided to put in to Huntington, l.. l., where he re- mained from Monday night until 2.30 Tuesday morning. The boat reached here about one o'clock Tuesday after noon. There was some quick hand ling of the freight. for the boat was unloaded and reloaded again so that it left for it's regular trip to New York soon after six in the evening.
 Navigation suffered but little, be- cause signals of the approaching storm had been set all along the At lantic coast. and mariners did not risk the fury of the wind by leaving their havens of safety. While the freight steamers of the Central Yer mont Railway Co. and the New Eng land Navigation Go. were not seri- ously delayed on their journeys to New London from New York it was agreed that the storm was one of the worst experienced on the Sound in a number of years.
 The steamer Georgia of the Joy line put in to New London during the night. She had a large passenger list and many were seasick coming through Long Island sound. Rather than go through the Race the Geor- gia made for New London. She start. ed eastward just before o'clock Tuesday morning without landing.
