That Langdon's fire fighting apparatus
is IN a thoroughly reliable condition and
ready for use in emergency was demon
strated last week when Chief LAWN had
the boilers of the steam fire engine
tested. The boiler was subjected to a
cold water pressure of 235 pounds with
out showing any noticeable strain. The
1000 barrel cistern at the fire hall is
kept constantly filled and it would take
a.half days steady run of the fire engine
to exhaust the supply on hand. The
annual report of the department to the
council on Monday evening showed that
they have upwards of 1000 feet of hose
that is in first class condition.

NOLAN INJURED BY FALL FROM
 TROLLEY CAR
Conductor Did Not Stop Car to Ascertain Extent of Mans Injury.

Thomas J. Nolan of Brooks street while alighting from a north bound East Main street car at Putnam street about 5:30 D. m. yesterday afternoon was thrown to the ground as the car suddenly lurched forward. landing on his hip, which is believed to be frac- tured. Dr. George B. Cowell of Noble avenue brought the injured man to his home on Brooks street. According to two witnesses of the accident Chas. Bundock and Michael Conroy, two East Side youngsters, they had sign a1ed the conductor to stop the car at Putnam street Both boys had alighted as the car slowed up, at the first cross walk Nolan had intended to get off at the second walk.
 It is believed that the conductor not seeing Nolan alighting gave the signal for the motronian to go on. Nolan stepped off and was thrown heavily to People rushed out of nearby houses to aid the injured man. Dr. Cowen was called and as. he was attending to his patient the car from which No- Ian had fallen was seen to be retrun- ing from Old Mill Green. The motA- man of the car refused to stop until a number of women who were present rushed out into the street. After the car was stopped, the conductor whose humber was noticed as 397s, took No lans name and then the car proceeded on its way.

FOX APPROVES HUDSON DRAFT
fContinued from First Page)

"As I understand it. the legislature must proceed directly in such cases by the notoriously ineffective method of committees on elections. made up often of laymen and proceeding with out the safeguards of judicial tribun- als.
 Although there, are a number of things in MT. Judson's new provisions with regard to the election court which would like to discuss. I will touch only upon one. He makes the court consist of only one judge instead of two. which is the rule in England and Canada. where a unanimous verdict is necessary or nothing results The reasonss given for this amendment are that single judge rendering a de- cision is more likely to be in harmony court consisting of two judges and sec- ondly the danger of blocking the reg ular business of the courts by a num- Der of trials of contested elections would be greatly lessened by having only one judge.
 ''On the other hand feel 1t too much responsibility to put on any judge. For both judge and candidate concerned. 1t seems to me much nearer an approach of two judges should be necessary in order to attain that end
 Though I differ from Mir Judson on some important points. wish to say again Sthat he has done good piece of work in preparing this bill and as a citizen of Connecticut I feel grateful to him for doing so. I hope he will win still more of the public gratituds by preparing and, getting through a constitutional amendment that will re- medy the present deplorable state of affairs" :"

Catherine Gloves,

Cloves are now cultivated in many of the tropical regions of the earth. A clove tree bogins to bear at the age of ten years and continues until it reach es the age of seventy-five years. There are two crops year, one in June and one in December. The tree is an ever green and grows from forty to fifty feet high, with large oblong leaves and crimson flowers at the end of small branches in clusters of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same botanical order as the guava. The cloves, which are the undeveloped buds, are at first white, then light green and at the time of gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gen tly with bamboo sticks until the, cloves drop. They are dried in the sun, being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclaims them ready for shipment.

A New City a Thousand Years old.
 Budapest, whose front is circled with lights like a crown, whose hills rise dark and feathery above the river, whose parliament buildings run along the bank and are second to none but Westminster-Buda bright, fash ing, gay, beautiful, modern and rich, ardent and executive, close built and amalgamative, blender of peoples-is the product of only a few decades, and yet at its last exposition it celebrated its thousandth birthday. Pest, to the right of the river-for the cities are twin and divided by the Danube-Pest dates back to 1900, and Buda was the Ofen of the Romans. Buda climbs up the opposite hill, today magnificently new, but sown round with green crumbling walls that mark the passing of the original founders whose painted galleys came up the Danube from the Black sea. The twentieth century civi- nzation, sharply new and powerful, must for a moment be brushed aside and the Buda of medieval times put in its stead.-Marie Van Worst in Har- per's Magazine.

cards and Their History.

< Cards are square shaped pieces of pasteboard printed with various. de vices and employed as business me dfum by money changers. They are usually made up in packs of fifty-two, one for each week of the year. A good many people. play cards for pleasure, in which case their opponents are said to be buying experience. In most card games the rule is that the cards may be cut, but not otherwise marked. This rule is not strictly observed in games in which only three cards are used. Indeed, the marking of cards has at tained 8, high degree of perfection since the introduction of numerous card index systems. Fashions change in card games as in everything else. Old maid, for instance, is nowadays seldom played in the best clubs. Play ing cards should not be confused with score cards, which are rather larger, or with visiting cards, which are small er.-Fry's Magazine. A 2

TURKEY FACING

 ConstantfnoplG -(via Philipoppolis), June 24-Turkey is today facing an other revolution in the opinion of close students of national affairs. The fric- ton between the Young Turks and the military, led by General Cheftek Pashas is increasing daily and a clash between them in the near future is now believ- ed to be inevitable.
 The Young Turks are thoroughly dissatisfied with Sultan Mehmed V who is declared to be nothing more than the tool of Cheftek, who in turn is looked upon as a Reactionary at heart and the opponent of the reform CTS. The true position of Cheftek will become more clearly defined as he con- tinues to strengthen his grip on the Sultan, the Young Turks say. The Young Turks are said to be planning the enforced abdication of Mehmed V and the substitution of Prince Yussuf Ekzenden. as Sultan

When Dassbail Was an Infant Industry.
 It was a crude game, but merry. In theory the pitcher Awas there only to give the boys a chance to '.soak the ball." First bound" was still out. The unfortunate catcher, lhandling heavy, lively ball without mask, glove or pro- tector, stood up near the bat when men were on bases if he had the skin and courage. The early guides recon mended him to do so when he could. Had not the pitcher been restricted to an artificial throw scarce catcher would have lived to tell the tale. Many catchers took everything Ion first bouncev and managed at that to prevent much base stealing. Base run ming also was in it's infancy. "Smith," l" says the Spirit of the Times, caught a remarkable game, having but five passed balls scored against him." Here and there we, get glimpse which shows how crude it all was, what a matter of hit and miss natural force. In the ffties Dicky Pearce shone with out a peer as an infielder. He used to stop groupders with his hand and footi VIII Irwin in Golfers.
