SkOWHEGAN WINS
Exciting Game Of Ball Saturday 7 to 6
From Bingham.

In an exciting game of baseball at
Bingham Saturday afternoon the Skow-
hegans defeated Bingham by the close
score Of 7 to s. The game was featured
by the fine catching and throwing to sec
ond base Of Turcotte and the willow
work Of Goulette. who got two two-bag-
gers and a single out of five times at
bat. On account Of the tall grass in the
Outfeld 1t was almost impossible to find
the ball and many errors resulted, but
this was Offset by the heavy hitting of
both teams. The game was conspicuous
by the absence of kicking on either side
and the umpiring of Hunter and Moore
gave satisfaction to all.
Skowhegan Is considered one of the

MAD KING OTTO.
Suffers From Insomnia, but Loves the
Music Of Verdi.

Some remarkable details relating to
the Mad King Otto of Bavaria are
published from a diplomatic source
by the Glornale d'Italia. Though shut
up for 40 years in castles. now in the
Castle Furstenried. and though 81
years of age, Otto is still fine. hand
some figure, with magnificent beard
and flowing gray locks.
The stories about his periodical fits
of fury are quite untrue. His court
is presided over by Marshal Baron
Redwiz and consists of a few truSty
gentry belonging to the most ancient
families of the Bavarian aristorcracy
King Otto occupies the spacious and
sumptuously furnished first floor OF
the castle, and often passes the entire
day out in the park. The walls of his
apartment are hung with splendid
paintings. principally Of lake and
mountain scenes amid which the
prince passed his happy boyhood. His
medical specialist notes that these Of
ten exert a wholesome influence on
his state of health, concerning which
official bulletins are dispatched every
month to the prince regent and gov
eminent to be buried in the secret
archives of the royal household.
King Otto suffers terribly from in
somnia, and often sits up in bed half
the night staring toward the door. as
if expecting somebody to enter. He
however. rises punctually every morn
ing at s and mutely allows himself to
be dressed by his valet. He has a
holy horror of soap and water. and of
having his hair and nails cut. so that
servants have to await patiently a
favorable day for these operations,
when the poor patient is in state of
complete apathy. King Otto smokes
incredible quantities of cigarettes. and
is always putting away save when he
is absorbed in his favorite pastime of
studying the operate music of his pet
composer. Verdi. Often he causes the
castle halls to resound all day long
with the melodies of "Rigoletto"
The diplomat relates that the first
symptom of brain decay i'm the young
prince, till then SO bright, forceful.
and courageous. was manifested dur
ing the FrancO-German war. Just be-
fore the siege of Paris Kaiser William
summoned him to the headquarters of
the general staff and kept him under
observation, in company with Bis
marck and Moltke, the reason being
that King Otto had called out a squad
of cavalry and ordered them to charge
straight at a stone wall. which, he in
sisted, was body of the enemy's in
fantry.
He began preaching everywhere the
stern necessity of concluding peace
with France at any price. Soon af
ter intercepted letters were brought
to the Emperor William which the Ra-
varlan prince had been dispatchjnr
secretly to the enemy. 1t was then
that the old kaiser sadly sent for the
demented prince, decorated him with
the order of the Iron Cross for service
rendered in the campaign, and packed
him off under a medical escort for a
pleasure trip in Spain and italy,

The Libby Field
The Probable Site

In all probability the site for the day
camp to be constructed by the Associa-
ton for the Relief and Control of Tuber-
culosis in this section will be the Libby
field between this city and Fairfield and
the committee in charge is in commune
cation with the trustees of that property.
A meeting of the committee will be held
in few days and the matter quickly
settled.
The Libby lot. so called, was among
the ones favorably presented at the meet
ing of the councillors recently held at the
City building. 1t is centrally located and
accessible from all parts of this section.
The air is dry and there is plenty of wa
ter running directly to the land The Ad-
vent campmeetings have been held on the
spot.
AS soon as the matter is settled the
work of construction will commence and
place made ready for the patients af-
fected with tuberculosis in this section.
The committee has ordered the necessary
utensils for the camp and a nurse has
been engaged.
