DURANT HAS
 s4OO COMING

New York, Jan 14.-By the finding of the national commission in the case of Jimmy Savage the New York club must pay the s4O0 to Waterbury. Says the finding:
 t'The evidence in this case showed that in purchasing Player Savage, the Hartford club acted for the New York American league club, and the latter club now applies to the commission for a rehearing of the case.
 The New York club makes the point that this player was not under con- tract with the Waterbury club in 1906 and for that reason that club had no right to carry him on their reserva- tion list in 1907 and 1908 which the evidence shows that they did. The testimony submitted, however, clear 'ly eSta blishes beyond doubt the fact that the player did sign contract for 1906 with the Waterbury club. of a number of affidavits. That being the case the Waterbury club had a right to place the player on their re- servation list marked under the head ing "suspended". No club could, therefore, negotiate for his services excepting through the Waterbury club.
 .sThe finding of the national com mission heretofore made in this case. is therefore upheld and the appIica- tion of the New York American Lea que club for rehearing is refused"
 Yesterday Manager Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Americans disposed of ten of his players to various clubs, but none of them came the way of the Connecticut League. Included in the ten was one veteran, Rube Vickers, who formerly pitched for Holyoke. who goes to the Baltimore Eastern League club.

FLY FoGs IN INDIA.
A Plague That at Times Makes Life
 Unbearahle in Calcutta.

F A Plague That at Times Makes Life
 Unbearahle in Calcutta. 8 One of the evils of Calcutta is the plague of green flies, from which the whole city suffers at certain times in the year. The happy hunting time of these minute insects Is during the late autumn and early winter. They are a serious nuisance both in and out of doors. They wing their way through all the open doors into the houses and into every room. making life unbear- able.
 Like most insects, the little green flies have great affection for the flame. On occasion the inha bitants have found it necessary to put out all and to take their meals practically in deep gloom. illuminated only by flick ering candles.
 Naturally it is not at all pleasant to go on eating with dense clouds of in- sects swarming overhead or, roasted to death. falling about one in pattering showers.
 They seem to spring into existence from nowhere. Perhaps 1t is almost dusk when the lights of the street lamps are becoming visible. Then suddenly the air, which moment be fore was quite clear. is full of myriads of green flies. drifting in misty patches and obscuring~t street lamps.
 Often the number of insects which have been scorched to death is so great that little heaps of them collect inside the lamps, while bucket loads have to be swept up from the roads next morn ing.-London Answers.

Garland Would Have Swallowed tt U
 It Had Killed Him.
 Augustus H. Garland. who was at torney general under President Cleve- land, was very fond of practical jokes and during his term of service in the senate frequently turned the laugh on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees, and Vest, with whom he was very friendly. finally determined to turn the tables. AIr. Garland had habit, like Voor- hees, of munching candy, and Vest and Voorhees, made it up between them to take advantage of his fondness for sweets to play their trick. They had some tempting looking chocolate cara meis prepared, with the interior filled with brown soap. These they took to the senate chamber, and Voorhees, placed them on his desk. The lid being of. when MT. Garland sauntered down the aisle he noticed them at once.
 What have you there, Dan?'' he in- quired.
 Voorhees, looked up carelessly from his writing and responded: "Caramels. Help yourself.''
 Garland needed no second invitation and. picking up two or three. placed one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed away. his face betraying no sign of the conflict within him. This alarmed Voorhees,. who went to Vests desk and said:
 Hes eating them, Vest! What shall we do? The stuff will kill him surer'
 Senator Vest replied that it could do no more than make him sick. Garland swallowed the stuff. although he was foaming at the mouth from the soap suds. He related the incident after ward with great gusto and said he would have swallowed it if it had killed him

Hubert Latham, the daring aviator who made two unsuccessful attempts to cross the English channel III an aeroplane. recently broke all records for high flying in his machine at Mourmelon, France. Latham scared almost 3,6OO feet from the earth, which was 2,00O feet higher than his previous record. The Wright broth CTS have steadily declined to attempt such flights, asserting that the risks are unnecessary. Latham was court ing death when he accomplished this remarkable performance, for had his motor stopped for the fraction of a minute he would have been dashed to the earth. He recently announced that he would visit the United States next summer. 64

en- to-day, as IT by an earthquake, by
the firing of the big guns aboard the
Michigan on the southern target

trial before acceptance. Never before
have detonations been 80 sharp. Cups
saucers, and ves0ls were shaken
down and smashed.
1he ship was upward OF ID miles

ing from the noise she made and her
ability to shake up Virginia Beach,
the Michigan must be easily the most
powerful ship in the American navy.
