 Skipper Eley is gradually getting in right with the crowd. They gave him a cheer Saturday the next time he came to bat after making that home run. It was the longest drive ever seen at Newfield. The ball rolled to sign.
 Waterbury made kick, claiming that according to the ground rule the hit should only have been a triple but Umpire Doherty was right in all lowing a homer because the ball did not go near any automobiles or other Instructions.
 A peculiar fact in yesterdays con test was that only one fly was gath cred by the Bridgeport outfield. That came in the third when Skipper Eley got under Senor Cabrera's hoist.

sToLYPIN y OTHERS.

II one is a law-abiding citizen. he
must regret. in a measure. the un-
happy finish Of Premier Stolypin. 1t
is dificult to imagine circumstances
hero. However. it is possible that
one in. this free country cannot sue
cessfully imagine conditions in Rus
STA. the more or less fair name OF
which is largely covered with blots
and whiskers. Certainly the assassin
Of StQlypin failed to break even; he
took one life. and paid for it with
his own. Stolypin had taken many:
SO many that the hangman's moose
a little quip illustrative Of the Rus
sian sense of humor. Stolypin was a
standpatter in a country where that
proposition involves necks more than
the tariff wall. He is the victim OF
insurgency put on in a rough way.
and in his turn he had victims enough
to make killing him a poor bargain
for the insurgent forces.
But In Russia there are many others
like Stolypin: the existing government
is built up Of men like him. There
are grand dukes and ~bureaucrats
back Of the weakened czar who are
willing to go to any length to keep
their Jobs secure. Probably the jobs
are q great deal more secure than the
n1en VINO hOl0 tnenn. lot the reNolu-
tionists are far from being strong
enough to overthrow the old order.
The Russian duma is i joke legislative
body. even il it doesn't frivol with
freak bills as much as some Of our
e~nterprising and humorous state leg
islative bodies. About the same thing
can be said for the Russian constitu-
ton. Russia Is still a despotism in
fact. although somewhat s~elf-govern-
ing in theory. That is the real trou-
BILE with Russia. inc ASA ssinations.
bomb throwing and executions will
continue to be the chief national
pastimes as long as that condition
obtains.
AS there are many other stolypins.
one cannot see the end Of h game
from here: there are many other as
sassins also. and they are now plan
ming a more active campaign. Between
thepl they probably will paint the
towns and country red. and the little
father will! continue to hold the
championship belt for having the most
quarelsome family. But. in the end,
Stolypins and cars must yield. Self
government is the only kind. and in
time it will soak through the Russian
whiskers and intellect that the price
paid for the other kind Is too high,
and they will be willing to grant the
concessions that make for peace.

easier to name an equal number who
grew above middle height. Henry
Ward Beecher, Sidney, Lanier, Rufus
Choate and Daniel O'Connell were
just a little less than 6 feet in height.
We find Daniel Webster. Robert Louis
Stevenson; John Ruskin and Benja-
min Franklin coming up to 5 feet 10
inches. Gordon Pasha, the hero of
the Chinese and Sudanese ars. vas
ing was about the same size.
Take any group Of names, under
any classification, and it will be
found impossible to come to any def
mite conclusions. All the musicians
that have been named were short,
but. this is by no means true OF all
musicians. Most of the most famous
sea captains have been under medium
height, but it. was chiefly because
whose average height was below the
average of the world at large. Among
writer's and poets there are many
giants. and also many little men, and
if all history is taken into account
there have been more tall soldiers

Lombroso can look about him in
Italy and say that all geniuses are

had difficulty in persuading Lincoln's
admirers or the followers Of Bis

In addition t the impetus which
Napoleon gave to the reverence for
diminutive geniuses the fact that all

to great height and bulk has helped
to associate great size with appalling
stupidity. AS a matter of fact per-

THE SMALLEST REPUBLICS


1t is usually supposed that Monaco
is the smallest independent state in
Europe but as a matter of fact there
are three states that are still small
err. 1t is also a matter of common
belief that France, Switzerland and
Portugal are the only republics in Eu-
rope. but there are Nv" others. the
republics of Andorra and San Ma
rino. These two republics and the
principality of L~iechtenstein are all OF
them smaller than Monaco and they
all claim to be autonomous and indie
pendent.
Liechtenstein is crowded away be-
tween Austria and Switzerland and it
used to have a tiny army Of its own
but this was abolished for fear some
one might want to fight it. Austria
keeps a benevolent eye upon Liechten-
stein. while France performs a SINH

which is in the eastern Pyrenes. but

tent. without foreign aid.
The people OF San Marine are as
proud of their glorious republic and
Of its enlightened institutions as re-
publicans anywhere else. San Marine
has al army Of 1000 men and these
1000 men have been found amply
sufficient to keep at bay the predatory
hordes of military Europe.
