'
 The good showing of Dick Tuckey has caused Manager McCann to change his mind about getting anoth-. CT pitcher. If the youngster can take his regular turn in the box the twirl- ing staff will be pretty strong with Snyder, Gibbs and LeClair as leading members. Cunningham's arm is still sore but he thinks he may be able to go in the latter part of the week. In case any of the fingers go bad the management will get the wires work ing for a new hurler but there isn't much sense in breaking up winning combination.
 The Crack New Britain team will line up against the Mechanics at New field tomorrow. The Spuds are feel ing pretty chesty because they have beaten Bridgeport and Springfield in their last two games. Manager Nc Cam intends to work Chocolate Le- clair, the former Montreal pitcher, against New Britain with Bridges be- hind the platter.
 A good sized crowd saw Bridgeport wallop Holyoke by IT to 2 at New field Saturday. Snyder twirled for the locals. Burroughs started for the Papermakers but retired in favor of Callahan who proved cinch. Speedy Foran made homer and a triple. Ar thur Nichols was fined $5 for batting the ump. n
 Nap Lajoie. who was forced into the crippled list at St. Louis. will be back in the Maps lineup possibly this week He practiced for two hours, yesterday.
 Guess Tom Crook is bad. eh? No- tice how, the old top delivered the swat that saved the Mechanics yester- day? Tom also made number of difficult pickups at first.
 Bob Stow hasn't shown much ging-- CT in his fielding since he stopped a ball with his jaw in Springfield. But he was on deck with three safeties yesterday so give him credit boys, ' as Al Reeves, the burlesque king, says.
 Harry Quinn is going around with a face as long as a Sunday in Derby The lightning cigar salesman will have to produce box of Nugget ci- gars for Speedy Foran's home run at Newfield park and Harry doesn't think any more of box of smokes than he does of his right arm, Foran mentioned the smokes Saturday night but Harry said he was a little hard of hearing in that ear.

Girls Beware!

How different is the man who is
really and truly in love with a girl to
the man who, through vanity, tries
to make girl fall in love with him
without ever intending to make her
his wife.
This man, however, is soon detect
ed in many little ways. He will fail
in the small things, and it is the
small things in life which count.
He will fail to carry out a re-
quest, to write when he promises, to
bring her candy and flowers, and in
stead make excuses for not doing so.
When a girl who is fond of man
begins to realize that he is shiftless
and undependable, she should try
very hard to send him away; the
longer she is captivated by him the
more bitter will the parting be when
she realizes that he has only been
trifling with her.

WANTED IN CHARLESTON?
Savannah Police Hold Man Charged
with Burglary.

Savannah, Ca, May 6.-Confront-
ed by evidence that he was unable
to controvert George H. Clark, the
aged sailor who has been under the
perfection of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, arrested on nominal charge
of disorderly conduct, has admitted
that he is John Hart, who committed
one of the boldest burglaries ever
perpetrated in Savannah and who
served a term in the penitentiary for
it, and who is now wanted by the au-
thorities of Charleston for similar
offence. Unless the Statute of Limi-
tations in South Carolina will oper-
ate to save him, Hart will be taken
back to that city to answer for the
burglary of the home of A. H. Silcox,
a short time before he robbed the
home of Guy "A. Caldwell in this city.
Coming to Savannah after the
South Carolina burglary, Hart pawn
ed the silver plate he had secured in
Charleston Seventy-one pieces of it
were recovered from pawn shops
here and returned. Mr.. and Mrs. Sill
COX had been married only short
time and much of the silver was
wedding presents. 1t is understood
that he committed other burglaries
in Charleston, making big "clean-

women patent and to complete the
sentiment, it's subject is one particu-
larly Of woman's domain. The pat
ent is for certain new and useful
improvements in combined toaster
and warming oven."
There are about 10000 applica-
tions for patents filed every year in
the patent office. Of these, two
thirds, or about 100000, 90 to issue.
Of these 10000, each year sees an
increasing number issued to women.
A feature which is generally remark
ed by all who handle patents is that
comparatively few inventions claimed
by women and filed for patent are
rejected-When she has an idea for
an invention, she is usually sure OF
it's use, practicability and novelty.
Of the rewards earned by women
in invention it is hard to get data.
A car-coupler brought one woman a
large royalty, printing press I'M
provement netted another neat
sum. A young woman now living in
New York draws a royalty of several
hundred dollars month from an in
vention regarding the making of but
ton holes on strips Of cloth, sold in,
all shops to women who buy them to
sew into shirt waists, etc. Many IN
ventions relating to dress and house
hold utensils have brought handsome
rewards to the brains which con-
ceived them, and many design pat
ents by women designers are ap-
piled to articles of every day use
everywhere.
AS stated before, while no woman
has as yet written her name beside
that of Morse, Edison, Howe, Whit
ney, Goodyear, or Mccormick, there
is no reason why she may not do so.
Women so far have taken out less
than one per cent. of the total pat
ents issued But very, very small
fraction of one per cent. of the total
patents issued can be minutely re-
subdivided and still be number too
large to apply to the real epoch MAX
ing inventions, so that there is plen-
ty of time for Milady to make her
great invention and still be well
within the operation of the law of
averages.-C. H. Claudy, in Scien-
tific American

MARRIAGES IN OTHER LANDS.
Conditions Differ Widely and Some
Customs are Singular.

so do marriages. But they are all
sacred, says the Chicago Tribune.
In Borneo the bride and groom sit
on metal logs before the priest, VINO
gives them cigars and betel while ne
blesses them. He waves above them
two fowls bound together. The bride
groom then places the betel in his
brides mouth and a cigar between
her lips. They are married.
There are other places where Gus
toms are even more unique.
You, little girl, wooed for months
before you ever give your consent,
have perhaps never read of Morocco.
For there the wooing never precedes
marriage-it follows. Often the
wife does not see the husband until
after she has been welded to him.
and it is only by chance that the hus-
band sees his wife or knows what
she looks like.
Suppose you were just married.
Would you like it if you could talk to
no one for three days. Yet that is the
fate of the Chinese girl. For three
nights after the marriage the Chinese
bride, yelled, must stay awake and
listen to the teasings and jokes OF
some girl friend who is there just
on purpose to make her laugh.
But the Chinese bride must not al
low her voice to escape her. She must
show by staying silent those three
nights that she will be quiet wife.
There are seven reasons for which a
Chinese man may divorce his wife,
you know, and one of them is talk
ativeness.
Among the Mezeyn Arabs the bride
runs away and hides in the noun
tains. The groom hunts until he
finds her or dies in the attempt. II
he is lucky he will lead her to her
fathers tent and proclaim they are
married. Then the bride must stay
within the shadow of that tent until
she becomes mother.
The wedding invitation means
much in Barcelona, Spain. For then
everyone who receives one must go
and give a coin to the bride. That
is for her dowry. The father is
usually unable to furnish one. He
has had to buy a house for her and
fit it up and that is usually expen-
sive.
In Japan, land of flowers, they
hold funeral services at the home OF
the brides parents the night she is
married. This is to show that the
young lady is dead to her father and
mother.
The marriage ceremony is simple.
The bride and groom seat themselves
at a table where there are three fiat
cups, each little larger than the
other. The cups are filed with wine
and the bride and groom drink from
them in turn, taking the smallest
first and graduating upward. After
this is done the go-between who has
arranged the marriage announces
they are wed.
The Bedouin marriage does not
take much time The groom cuts
the throat of a sheep and spills the
blood on the sand of his father-in-
laws threshold and the wedding is
over.
The Swedish girl prays for a rainy
day on which TO get married. Then
before she goes to the ceremony at
tired in her wedding clothes she
milks the COW, feeds the calf and
steals breast feather from the hen.
This is to bring her the necessities
and luxuries of life.
