In Far Counties.

When the shower came up the artist. who was walking through New Hamp- shire on a sketching tour, sought shel- ter under a tree, where he was soon joined by another wayfarer, man of middle age, who looked a sort of better class tramp, and indeed was one.
 The two entered into conversation, and it came out that the wayfarer was a harness maker by vocation, but a rover by predilection.
 "Yes," he said, I'm rolling. stone. I'm never happy in one place. I'm here today and gone tomorrow. There ain't any fossil about me. I'm on the move all the time. The world is made to see, I say, and I'm bound to see all can of it."
 The artist began to think that he had fallen in with a modern Marco Polo. and by way of leading up to some in- teresting anecdotes of the antipodes he remarked:
 You must have been quite trav- eIer.''
 Well, that's about so,'' the man modestly replied. q reckon I could find my way over New Hampshire with my eyes shut, and I was once two months in Vermont

Cold That I<i1ls and Cold That Cures.

Cold That Kills and Cold That Cures.
 In England severe cold generally kills a good many people. In certain parts of North America cold still more severe puts new life into them It re- quires no augmentation to slow that there must be a definite reason for this
 The chief reason is that English cold is mostly damp, while in North AEer- ica it is mostly dry. There is the great est difference in the world between dry air and damp air. Tie former is usu- ally air pure and simple, possessing a full quantity of oxygen and often charged highly with ozone. The latter consists of air mixed with the vapor Of water. When the former air, fully oxygenated, is breathed it stimulates more powerfully than chamnagne. The latter. less oxygenated and charged with vapor of water, not only does not stimulate, but depresses.-Public Opin- iOn

POWERS TO ENFORCE PRESENT RELATIONS
Special from United Press )

Constantinople. Aug. To- - Rifaat Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and, other cabinet officers are today convinced that the European powers are not going to permit the squabble between Turkey and Greece over the island of Crete to lead to serious con- sequences. Not only have other pro- tecting powers, England France. Rus sia and Italy notified the people that they will act as court of arbitration, but Germany and Austria have signi- fled their intention of acting with the other powers. .
 No indications are given by the pow CTS as to their decision regarding Crete's desire for annexation. but it is made clear that any aggressive move ment on Turkeys part would be con- sidered against the powers them selves as well as against Greece. The porte is extremely hopeful that no change in her present sovereignty of Crete-nominal though it is-will be made. basing this hope chiefly on the fact that the powers are themselves di- vided as to how to dispose of Crete'S ambition. It is believed that a con tinuation of the present relations will be enforced by the powers.

SOUTH ENDS

They Will Have Right to Play West
 Ends for City HOnors.

Though baseball has a month and a half yet to run. the South Ends have established that they are the strongest contenders in the city with the prob able exception of the West Ends, for the city championship. The West Ends, as city champions of 1908, have been content to play with out of town teams. letting the other local clubs fight it out among themselves for the honor of playing them for the cham pionship. Though the South Ends have defeated the West Ends in the fore par tof the season. the game was only in practice for both clubs. though the South Ends showed much class. At that time the West Ends had practic- ally the same club as they now have. while the South Ends have weeded out a great deal of loose material and now have one of the fastest semi-profes- sional clubs that ever represented Bridgeport. Some of the best clubs in the State have been brought here. and all have tasted the sweets of de- feat In all 20 games have been play Their record speaks for itself: South Ends 8. West Ends 4.

 Kid Stinger, the pride of the New York East Side. showed great game ness in his battle with Patsy Kline, the clever Newark Italian in Brook lyn, last evening. The East Sider was not clever enough for the peanut ven- der who sent in lightning lefts to the head and face and ripped hard rights to the ribs, mostly of the haymaker variety. Singer stuck to his task and never backed up. he kept coming in all the time swinging hard with both hands, kline however. blocking many of the punches and sidestepping.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 Being out of the. game. the batting average of Honns Wagner, the great est sticker in the National league, has been unchanged, and this has offered the opportunity for the rest of the field who are after the scalp of the Dutchman to boost their marks. but no remarkable spurts have been made, and John HOnus appears to hold his lead easily. Tim Jordan. the big first baseman of the, Trolley Dodgers in creased his average somewhat and is now tied with Mitchell of the Cincin- natl Reds for second plae. The pitch .ers have been exerting themselves to hold the big batters, and consequently have cut down the pumping of the high men who have aspirations to reach the king pin place.

Pas4a,s Wonderful Voice.

Mime. Pasta's voice extended from low A to D in altissimo and was one of the most remarkable illustrations ever furnished of the value of musical culture in overcoming natural blem- ishes., Her-voice was stubborn and un- manageable. but by dint of study and indefatigable perseverance she brought it to state of perfection that was the admiration of her contemporaries. Her delight was the bravura style of orna- ment, and where the composer had not been sufficiently liberal in bestowing ornamentation on her part she invented cavatinas of her own and used them with such effect that they were gener- ally regarded as the best part of her singing She made her first appear ance on the stage in 1915, her last in 1850.

Springfield with the Orators at New field for two games this afternoon.
 Tawm Connery, with his ex-league leaders, the once naughty Senators, will be the guests of the Orators to- morrow at Newfield aPrk Of course Hack Schuman will pitch.
 Every team in the league has enjoyed spurt but the Orators. Their best this season has been four straight during the opening games since then two has been the limit.
 The league leaders failed to get a man past second base against North ampton yesterday. lawn Hess let the papermakers down with four hits.
 Yale leads the league in the num- Der of pilfered sacks. with a total of 45. Bill always could push his feet.
 Pitcher Lindaman. who was turned over to Hartford. together with Mo Carthy by the Boston Nationals. has been given his unconditional release by the latter team. because he refused to join Connery's outfit. He is now pitching for one of Brooklyn'S semi professional clubs.

 Charlie Johnon. one of New Havens best bowlers. is being boosted to Chief Kennedy for a position on the umpir- ing staff.
 The decision on which Bridgeport was robbed of the first game of the double header in Waterbury Sunday, is making Umpire O'Brien the laugh ing stock of the circuit. It was in one of the latter innings. when Wat. erbury had three men on the bags with but one down. The ball was hit to Hilt, who threw to Sweeney. who in turn threw to Bunyan at first. It looked like a. double play, as the Bridgeport players started walking in. and the Authors went to take their places in the outfield. Imagine how surprised all were when O'Brien, called the batsman safe at first. The men from third to second had run in O'Brien was missed for his decision, by the Waterbury fans, who are not in the least partial to a visiting team.

 Word comes from Denver that Her man c. Long, the famous short stop of the Boston Nationals when champions, is dying of consumption. Long won warm place in the hearts of the baseball fans that has been achieved by very few of the diamond stars. He was a member of the Boston Nationals under Frank Selee,- the club that cap tured five National league champion ships. His fielding for the time he played averaged .947, while his batting was .227.
