FERNS FOR NEW YORK.
Naugatuek Is Sending the Foliage to
the Metropolis New.

Naugatuck fern pickers who yearly
make a business of gathering fern
leaves for decorat tive purposes are
now shipping the fruit of the harvest
to New York The pickers are a
month later this year than usual and
the leaves, although tougher than
those picked a month ago, have lost
something of their freshness and
beauty of color.
The more delicate species of this
beautiful plant are not gathered in
quantities in this section, although
there are many spots where they may
be found. One of the most priced of
New England ferns, known the
malden-hair, grows about Naugatuck
but in such small quantities that it
has but little commercial value for
the picker, though botanists pay fair
prices for the plant with root.
Four big hampers OF the common
kind, each conta ming several hun
dreds of punches OF leaves were
shipped to New York Wednesday and
there isa more 10 follow. This busf-
ness has assumed large proportions

CHANCE TO, REBUILD.
Several New Faces to Be Seen in the
Chicago Team in 1911.

Only one thought animates Manager
Frank Chance of the defeated Cubs,
and that is to build UP his team to
it's former strength and have it once
more acclaimed as the champions OF
the world. He realizes that he has a
herculean task on his hands. but
Chance likes fight as well as the next
one, and is already planning his 1911
campaign.
1t is taken for granted that there
will be several new faces in the Cubs
lineup next year, and it is probable
that the changes will be most apparent
in the pitchers box. The great work
of Shuttle, Sheckard and Holman in
the outfield during the series with the
Athletics makes this trio look good for
another season, but it would surprise
no one if either Sheckard or Shuttle
were passed up for younger player.
Certain it is that Chance will try out
more new outfielders next year than
for several years.
Harry Steinfeldt will undoubtedly
give way to a new man at third, and
this man will in all probability be
Heine Zimmerman, who in his trial at
third this year played great ball. Zim-
Norman fell down in his batting in the
championship series, but Chance still
has great faith in him
If Evers' leg RECEIVERS, little Johnny
will of course be at second base again,
but there is much doubt as to whether
his broken limb will ever permit him
to shine as in former years. Several
new men will be trained for Evers'
place.
Brown, Reulbach. Paester and Over
all are all on the down grade, and
Chance will have to work overtime to
prevent collapse of his pitching
strength. 1t is possible that ReuIbach
who was handicapped this year by an
attack of diphtheria, will regain his old
time form next year. Cole looks TO be
the Cubs mainstay in the box, and
young Weaver looks good. Richie.
Prefer Mcintyre and Foxen are in re-
serve. but at that Chubby Charlie Muir
ply would today give $4,000 for an
other pitcher of the Cole class Much
scouting for pitchers will be done be-
fore the team begins it's spring train
ing.
1t looks now as though. Archer will
be the Cubs chief catcher in 1911, with
King, the one time unquestiened lead
er of 'em all, playing the secondary
role.
Such a prediction a year ago would
have seemed foolish but Chance real
ICES, as few managers have ever real
lied, the imperative need of new and
younger blood, and in this quest it is
possible that he will even sacrifice
himself to some youngster and become
henceforth bench manager.
Enough of the old stars viii be on
hand to lend the needed ballast to the
1911 campaign, but it is a. safe bet that
at least four names will appear regu-
larry in the 1911 lineup that have either
not yet appeared at all or only as sec
ond string players.
Chance believes that he can get sew
eral good players through trades. and
if any are offered sentiment will not
stand in the way.

FAST LAUREL HILLS
DEFEAT ACADEMY SECOND
Score Two Touchdowns in Lively
Game.

The lively and clever Laurel Hill
eleven was too fast for the Academy
second team in a game on the Acad-
envy campus Friday afternoon, and
the Academy boys had to take de-
feat, 10 to o. Four ten-minute peri
DDS were played. In the concluding
minutes of the first period the Laurel
Hills gained the lead when Townsend
sprinted Is yards around end to
touchdown after gathering up the ball
which one of his own side furnbled and
dropped. The kick for goal was a fail
ure.
In the second period there was no
scoring, but in the third Ellsworth
went over for touchdown for Laurel
Hill from which no goal was kicked.
Score 10 to 0, in favor of Laurel Hill.
Center Coblyn of the winners was
laid out temporarily, but recovered in
the time limit and finished out the
game. The result of this game evens
the series between the two elevens.

TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN
Citizens Believe Memorial
Should Be National One.
CONGRESS URGED TO ACT
Appropriation Regarded as More
Practicable Than Attempted
Popular Subscription.

In order to stimulate interest in the
erection Of suitable memorial to Abra-
ham Lincoln in the National Capital, a
meeting was held last night at the New
Willard Hotel. Hannis Taylor. former
United States minister to Spain and well
known as a constitutional lawyer, who
presided at the meeting. was authorized to
appoint a committee of fifty to take I'D the
matter and to report at a mass meeting to
be held at some future date This COM
mittee Is empowered to select an executive
committee from its own membership in
| rapidly as possible.
Two propositions were considered last
night for financing the memorial, one sug-
gested by Mr.. Taylor, to raise large SUM
by popular subscription from all parts OF
the country; the other suggested by II. r.
F.. Mcfarland, former District Commits
sioner. that Congress appropriate the
money needed for the memorial.
Appropriation More Practicable.
1t was decided by the meeting that it
would be far more practicable to obtain
an appropriation from Congress for the
memorial.
Mr.. Taylor, in calling the meeting to
order. referred to the fact that although
he was from the south. no man HAD a
higher regard for the character of Abra-
ham Lincoln than he had. He said that
he was confident, If general subscrip-
ton were called for from all parts Of the
country, the south would be generous III
her contribution
Mr.. Macfarland said that he was much
interested in obtaining a beautiful me-
mortal to Lincoln in this city, not only
he a to
great American, but because il would
also add to the beauty of the city.
He enumerated the various bills now
before Congress looking to an appropria-
ton for Lincoln memorial, including
that for a Lincoln highway from Wash
tngton to Gettysburg, the Mccall bill pro-
posing the purchase of the property north
of the Capitol building and the erection
thereon of a million-dollar memorial to
Lincoln and the bill carrying out the park
commissions plan for a memorial located
mile west of the Washington Mouu-
ment, on the banks Of the Potomac.
Old Soldiers. Interested.
Col. John A. Joyce spoke for the old
soldiers Of the G.. A. r. and declared
their interest I'm the proposed memorial.
He read an original Lincoln poem which
he had just composed.
Mr. Mcfarland announced that Repro
sentative Smith, chairman of the House
District committee, had come prepared
to express TO the meeting his hearty in
terest in the project. but had been forced
to leave owing to another engagement
Representative S. w. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts, chairman OF the House COM
mittee on library, spoke Of his personal
interest In the proposition to erect
memorial to Lincoln and referred to his
bill for that purpose which is now before
Congress.
When the meeting adjourned it was to
meet at the call of the chairman.
