LYNCH TO SUGGEST
 ONE NEEDED REFORM M
WANTS CAPTAINS TO INFORM UMPIRE OF CHANGES IN
 TEAM.

New York, Jan. 21.-President Lynch of the National league, who is also a member of the joint rules com mittee, has decided that in the future before a substituted player can ac- tually be considered in the game, he must first report to the umpire, just as is done in football. It is the cap tains duty, according to Lynch, to report changes in the lineup, and for every omission to do so he is to be fined $5.
 President Lynch decided on this cure of the substitute evil yesterdaj after a conference with New York newspaper men and with Charles IT. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn club. It has been Lynch's impress sion that a player who was substi- tuted for. another man must first notify the umpire that was entering the game, but on reading rule No 28 of the playing code he discovered he was mistaken.

NEW STREET CAR
 STORAGE BATTERY
EDISON'S LATEST INVENTION THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE TROLLEY TRANSPORTATION
Special from United Press

New York, Jan. 21.-Electrical sharps in this city are delighted today over the successful demonstration of Thom- as A. Edison new storage battery as applied to a street car and they de- clare his new invention will complete ly reVolutiOniZe transportation so far as short haulS are concerned. The new motor car. according to the men that saw it tested over the hills in the neighborhood of West Orange. yester- day, takes up but little room compara- lively and the car propelled by it, al- though filled with passengers, took the hills and grades at as good a speed as any trolley car would. The car will be placed in active service on the west street line in this city and fully tried out. If successful it is expected that IL VIII replace the present horse cars used on the narrow crOSStoWn streets Tn Manhattan. According to the men who examined the car the motor will carry it 150 miles without recharging. While it is necessary to consume four hours in recharging ordinarily, if an auxiliary he has invented is adopted the batteries may be recharged while in use in shorter time
 According to the men who partici- pated in the test the entire practice ability of the invention was shown when it was announced that the bat teries are to be placed on the market at once.

CLEVELAND STOPPED
 EATING MEATS
\ BOYCOTT WITH COMPLICA- TIONS IN TOM JOHNSON'S
 CITY .-..
(New, York Times.)

|
 Cleveland, thanks to it's training under Tom Johnson, has d more self conscious population than the Ordina- ry American city, and this fact prob ably accounts for the promptness and enthusiasm with which thousands of it's inhabitants took up and practical ly applied the suggestion that the way to bring down the price of thing is to refrain from buying it. Their first experiment with this simple plan has been in progress less than week, but it has already produced the eX- pected and indeed, inevitable result Meat is cheaper in Cleveland by an average of 2 cents per pound than it was before the boycott began, and the keepers of butchers shops are in something of a panic over the loss of trade, already serious, and threatening to become disastrous.
 Whether their reduction in prices means anything permanent, anything more than an enforced attempt to get rid of perishable stock on hand, re- mains to be seen, but it may well be doubted, for unless the Cleveland movement extends to many cities, the meat business as National industry will not be measurably affected and the big abattoir companies will not be moved to remedial action. Of course. the workingmen of Cleveland
 
 come vegetarians as a settled policy of life. They want meat, just as all other sane people do, and they are TO more likely to do without it long than are other people.
 A weak feature of their case is the fact that there is no fixed supply of meat that must be sold for whatever it will fetch. After a few weeks the to demand can be made, and after that the boycott will exert no pressure at all except upon a few local dealers. The Clevelanders should too, that if they and their expected imitators do manage largely to decrease the consumption of meat, the saving thus effected will be coun- terbalanced by increased prices for what may be called the by-products of the meat business. They are many the most important being leather. and that means among other things, shoes.

PUBLIC OPlNIOh

To the Editor of the Farmer, Sir
 In this age a great interest is be- ing manifested in the beauty of sur roundings throughout the country, and the more cultivated tastes of the peo- ple demand it. Trees planted in the proper place are always attractive; an artistic effect can be obtained by the use of them, and wherever tree is planted the value of the land upon which it is placed is enhanced.
 The seeker of home site will se- lect a place with attractive surround ings in preference to the place With unimproved surroundings, and peo- pie looking for an investment in real estate are not attracted by barren lots and unattractive places. Trees not only afford an abundance of com fort and shade and pleasure, but they enhance the value of real estate more than ten times the amount invested in any other way. This is a fact and it is not economy to ignore.
 I recently asked two members of one of the wealthiest families in the extreme western end of the city, and who are, by the way, the largest real estate owners, "How many trees they had set out on their property during the past forty years" and was in formed that about ten trees had been planted, and these about their house. This is the state of affairs that is met with at every hand and the as tonishing thing is that it is not the small property owner who disregards this important element in making his surroundings more attractive. but it it the large real estate owner who is entirely indifferent to any thing out side of the grounds surrounding his house.
 Another reason of this lack of in terest in tree-planting is the need of patience in awaiting results, and the possibility of not living to enjoy the first beauty of the trees when they mature This is not as it should be; the pleasure and advantages that others may enjoy should be taken in to consideration, the same as the leaving of accumulation of any other character. Let your motto be, 'Leave the world more beautiful than you found it''
 The planting of trees need not be looked upon, hawever, as work done for the benefit of future genera tionS, for there are many rapid growing va rieties of trees that give almost inn

SHERIFF HAWLEY'S CANDIDACY Large Number of Republicans Still
 Disapproye His Anti-Hill Stand.

South Norwalk Sentinel. Jan 2O)
 There is distinct feeling among large number of Republicans in Fair field county friends of Congressman E. J. Hill, that Sheriff Sidney k. Flaw ,ey forfeited all rights for their sup port for re-election by the very de- ie,nined effort he exerted to bring sbout the defeat of MT. Hill for the United States Senate by Senator Frank B. Brandegee,, of New London Tn fact. Sheriff Hawley's hand is the ,ne, many of MT. Hills friends believe hat turned the balance. Just follow .ng that memorable fight Sheriff. Flaw !cy was quoted as touchingly express ing his high regard for the New Lon lon senator, his long friendship for iim and ether silly tWiddle tWaddle, but this could hardly be expected to have much effect on the voters of Fairfield county. They will not forgive he Bridgeport man for forsaking his able fellow county man. MT. Hill, who had heartily earned the promotion. To satisfy Mr. Hills legion of friends n this, county. Mr. Hawley has yet 70 give better reason than he has .hus far for espousing the cause or he other side, and they don't believe ne can do it.
 Whether Sheriff Hawley will be re- nominated does not appear yet, but here seems to be great opportunity :or some live, vigorous Bridgeport Republican to give him the hustle of lis life At any event, even should Sheriff Hawley be renominated, he will still have more trouble with his Democratic opponent than he has had 'or years, on account of his partici- patton in the senatorial deal
 There has been a report going the 'ounds that Congressman Hill and Sheriff Hawley have buried the hatch, it. So far as can be ascertained how ever, this rufnor is without founda- ion. In fact, there is as little like
