HREADY FOR WHITE WAY"
Preparing to Make the Business
 Section Dazzle for Holidays.

Secuon UaZZle TOT F1oHuayS.
 The "White Way" illumination for holiday week, in Canaan, is an assured fact, and the business section of the viii lage will be lighted up with hundreds of 16-candle power incandescent lights festoone6 in continuous strings on both sides of Main Street from Judge Rora backs to the Rhoadesblook, and up Rail road Street from the Main Street corner to Decker & Alvord's tin and stove store, with several strings of lights sus- psnded across both streets at regular in t,rvals.
 The idea of holiday week "White Way" such as have become a popular nnd regular thing in the cities aud large towns, appealed instantly to the good sense of the business men of Canaan when the subject was brought to their attention, not only as an effective specta- cular display appropriate to the season, but as a wise business move to attract outsiders into town every night next week. when the stores and shops will be open. A paper, passed around among the business men. for contributions to defray the expense of the illumination, was slgned unhesitatingly in almost every instance, and generous amounts given.
 Manager Lyles, of the Lighting Com- pany, has been on the hustle, procuring the necessary extra burners. extra wire, transformer and other essentials which the White Way" contract demands, and the work of stringing the wires and preparing for the illumination is being vigorously pushed, by Foreman Frank Whiting and his men. to have every thing in readiness by next Saturday night. when the lights will be tested and the illumination practically begin.

Federal and State Aid Sought TO Pre-
vent Pool SELLING on Games.

New York, March 3.-The Western
Commission Company of Newport,
KY, which is trying to introduce
pool selling into baseball, is very
likely to run against serious legal OPP
position if it tries to carry out the
plans which it has already announced
II Is understood that influential
baseball men have approached both
Federal and State authorities as to
the best means of breaking up this
latest gambling scheme. Although
the circulars instruct patrons not TO
use the mails, the Post Office author
tiles will watch for violations of the
law in that direction. Copies Of the
company's prospectus have been
placed in the hands of the District
Attorneys Office in this city and
every effort will be made TO detect
/ any violation of the laws prohibit
ing gambling in this State.
President Charles w. Murphy of the
Chicago Cubs has written to Chair
man Hermann of the National Com
mission to have that body make
every effort possible to suppress the
scheme. Il do not know whether or
not anything can be done by the Ma
tional Commission to suppress a
thing of this kind" said Mr.. Murphy,
but as a club owner, who is interest
ed in the welfare of baseball and
who hopes to keep it clean and above
suspicion and prevent any possible
gambling, / am writing to YOU"
Mr.. Murphy says that stringent
measures will have to be employed
by the powers in baseball to make
the players understand that they
must have nothing to do with men or
their agents who make wagers on
the results of ball games. He says
that to be in the comapny of such
men would invite scandal and ball
players who have done more than
anybody else to keep the game honest
and above suspicion must now look tc
the character of their associates.
Mr.. Murphy stated that in 1875
President Hubert of the National
League found it necessary to black
list several players Of the Louisville
| Club for throwing games, and says
Now comes dangerous menace L
