LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Will tho "Red Man" Become "paIe-
 face?"

MT. Editor: There was time when even the retail dealers put coloring into rum as the chemist does into water today. Red rum was made on face could be transformed into red man" at short notice.
 The clerk of one of the establish ments there was also its mixer or chemist so to speak
 When spirits came into the place, faults they might have and give them tone and color, before they entered the bodies of the customers.
 One of the best patrons was an In dian who bought no other kind of liquor than this red rum" which, while it was not particularly adapted to facilitate digestion, gave him at times such a rosy view of life that he could catch 3, vista of the happy hunt ing ground where game was plenty and ''paleface" could not hunt with out a license.
 The Indian came into the store one morning in very cheerful spirits and set his jug down to get it replenished
 The last red rum I bought of you" said he to the clerk, was the best l ever drunk. I want some more just like it-out of the same barrel.''
 He certainly got it from the same barrel, for that was the old mixing barrel that had made so many red men happy. There were no pale faces lurking long around that estab- lishment, for the 'red rum knew it's business. And the mixer thought he knew his business, too, but by putting in more than the usual amount of color, which gave a better flavor, he had pleased the Indians palate might fly. Now nothing but the undertaken could ever rob the groggery of the In dian's patronage. His loyalty to Water street was infiexible.
 He reasoned in this way: "The Great Spirit will not hurt me. even if I do not pray to him, for he IS good; but 1T I neglect the evil spirits, they may do me mischief
 Whether he considered water that had been treated" was among the "evil spirits is unknown. But if he is living today it is to be hoped he will be well-read man in chemistry or he may become 8 'paleface" by drinking "doctored" water in Norwich.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
NO IMPROVEMENT
In Market as Result of FIotation oi
 New York City Bonds.

New York, Jan. 25.-Expectations of improvement in the position of ths stock market today as a result of yes- city's huge bond issue were not real tzed. The market failed to make fav- orable response, or else. for reasons not well defined. chose to ignore that event altogether.
 Trading in stocks began at a level slightly above last nights close, but the improvement was of short dura- tion. Following a series of fraction al advances and recessions, during which the market demonstrated that it had little or no recupsrative power, trading became dull and continued on a nominal basis during the remainder of the day, with prices little above the lowest. The selling movement was ex- tended in the last hour and prices cas- ed off to a point which showed con- siderable losses on tho day.
 United States Steel showed some dis position to advance in the initial trad ing, but later was sold heavily. Much of the pressure was attributed to Pitts burg sources, where some of the com- mission houses report increased hear- ishness.

 A big crowd witnessed the go fill- ing every seat in the Olympia. It was q savage fight while it lasted, and honors were even for the first two rounds Ihe men insisted upon clinch- ing at every possible chance, and the referee frequently was compelled to step in and separate them by main strength.
 The third round was the hottest of the go, both men trying desperately for q knockout It ended in a clinch Iu the fourth Lewis rushed Summers to the ropes and knocked him out with d straight right. After summers had taken the count Lewis picked him up and carried him to his corner, amid great cheering.
 The men were matched at IA pounds, but when they weighed in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon it was found that the American tipped the scales at 14S 3-4. Summers weighed 140 3-4. As 8 result of his overweight Lewis paid a forfeit of $500.

BASEBALL FANS BET
 ON ANY OLD THING.
Some Freak Happenings in Old Days
 on the Diamond

Numerous instances there have been Of championship games being inter- rupted by some extraordinary or some unusual reason, but perhaps the oldest of them all happened in a game at Cincinnati one day 15 or 20 years ago, says Frank Bancroft.
 We were having a redhot battle with Chicago that day. says the famous business manager of the Reds, score 1 and 1-McPhee hit a ball down to short too hot for Da.hen to handle cleanly.
 ''McPhee had been anchored on first about two seconds when two men jumped over the rail separating the grandstand from the field and started out toward 'Biddy.' It all happened so suddenly that at first x-e thought Me Phee was to be given ssene kind of a present or other, but we were soon un- deceived.
 "In those days the fans bet on ev- erything that could possibly happen bet the next delivery of the pitcher would be a :ball' or strike; bet that the batter would strike out; bet that he wouldn't; bet that he would go out to the infield; fly out to outfield or foul out; bet that the umpire would call the next man who tried to steal out or safe; bet it would rain or snow; bet the game wouldn't go nine innings; bet it would end in a tie, and so on to the uttermost possibili- ties of the game
 Well, on this day one of the men who had wandered out on the field to talk to McPhee took off his hat, and, addressing the popular second base man of the Reds, in a tone clearly audible in the stands, said:
 "'Biddy, to decide a bet, will you please tell US whether that was hit for you or an error for Dahen? I bet this man to 1 that you would make a hit, and we ain't able to decide which 1t was
 Before the umpires and the cap . tains could chase the men off the field McPhee piped up:
 "'Say, if you guys live to be a mill Hon years old you'll never see clean CT base hit than that
 And it is my recollection that the official scorer was of the same opin- ion"
