Athletics Find Hard Going.

Perhaps the slump of the Mac!lmen was the most prominent outs taEding feature fthe seven days play in the American league. The former cham pions had a hard schedule and made poorer work playing it than they have in any similar period this season. They dropped six of ten games and f-il off rapidly in percentage. That their lead was not cut down to any notable eX tent was due to the fact that the Clevelands were losing almost as many games as the leaders.
 The likely bidders for hOnors against Philadelphia. if any are to G9FelGr are the Washingtons and the Chi cagos. The Senators are having Tore than a fairly good road trip and play ed brilliant ball all week dropping only one game in six. Griffith still eA- presses strong hopes of a driving fn- ish and Walter Johnson is reportec as having offered to pitch every other day after September ] if it dppears then that his club has a look-in.
 StahPs Removal Causes Sensation.
 The deposition of Jake Stahl in mid season after the club under his man agement had won a league pennaut and a wrold title, was the sensation Of the baseball week. The chanye tc Corrigan has apparently not affected the playing of the club one way or the other as yet.
 Looking over the National league sit uation, the efforts of, the Pittsburgh8 to climb continue the notable feature. The Pirates won all but one of their six games. that one being the only contest they have lost on their entire eastern trip Even at this gait, how ever, they have gained little on the Giants who won six out of eight games in six days and still hold a command ing lead A slump on their part with continued steady winning by the Pi-

Cunningham Seizes Venerable Scale of
 Hook and Spring Type
Noroton Grocer Grieved at Loss of Device Which He Says Is
 Heirloom

An ancient scale that was in it's prime in 1872 and is now held to- gether only by ropes, was seized by County Sealer Cunningham in Noroton yesterday. He found the venerable apparatus in a, store which was clean and otherwise up to date.
 The scale was of the old hook and spring variety, which is forbidden by law. It had a small wooden platform suspended by ropes from the top of the scale and the dial was so fly COW cred with fly specks that you couldn' t read the figures. The point of the Indicator was broken off and with the blunt end it is difficult to guess with in a half pound of what any article weighs.
 The proprietor of the store was az grieved when the scale was confis- cated. He said it was a family heir loom and had been used by his grand father. It looked the part.

CITY SWELTERS
 IN INTENSE HEAT

The sun is running wild again and the mercury in the thermometer is going up like an express elevator. Peo- pie were crawling along at a snail s pace today and were even too tired to ask that time worn query, 'Is it hot enough for yoU?" In the center of the city the temperature ranged from 90 to 93 degrees which is considera ble heat.
 All those who could fool the boss or desert their families fled to the sea- shore and the cars leading to the beaches were crowded to the gunwales this afternoon. The bathing beach re- sorts got strong play while there was standing room only in front of the soda fountains. The cafes didn't need to spread any free lunch to tempt the wayfarers today, either.
 Overcome by the intense heat as he was assisting in the paving work on upper Fairfield avenue Louis Donate, 45 years old, 165 North Washington avenue, an empIoye of the city, was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where it is said his condition is somewhat improved this afternoon.

BIG ILLINOIS CENTRAL DROP
 TO TOY TODAY

New York, July 30-In expectation of the dividend reduction to 5 per cent, Illinois Central broke three points before the announcement of the semi-annual 2h per cent. dividend and immediately afterward declined four more to 107, the lowest price since 1899, when it sold at 1o5k.
 Reasons for the reduction, accord ing to a statement issued by the di- rectors, were t'tne unusual conditions of the last two years, not only those affecting general business but those bearing especially hard on this com pany.''
 The previous senni-annuaI payment was at the regular per cent rate, so that the total dividend for the year amounted to per cent. This has been fully earned" the directors state ment reads, notwithstanding severe loss of traffic and increase in ex- penses due to January and April floods. Net earnings for May and June were, very satisfactory and esti- mates for the first three weeks of July show substantial increases. Operating expenses are now reflecting improved conditions due to the increased eff ciency of new shop organization and crop conditions throughout the terri tory served by the company's lines promise continued increase in busi- ness"
 The Illinois Central first began pay ing dividends in 1887 at the rate of ' per cent. This was reduced in 1891 to five per cent where it remained paid. The rate was raised the next year to per cent, which was con tinued until 1905, when the old per cent. rate was restored.

Statement By President
 of Hungarian Society

To the Editor of Farmer, Sir:
 You are respectively requested to publish the following in your issue of this date:
 In a local paper last nght there ap- peared a matter relative to my af- fairs with one Peter Condos of this cty, wherein the impression is con veyed to the reader that Condos as- saulted me because my picture was ed by him, in such a. way as 1t was expected. The testimonly produced in the city court before Judge Wilder and where our attorney, Ernest Berger was also present shows that my pie ture was duly published. and on the street I said nothing to Condos about the picture nor did he say anything about it to me. When Condos ap- preached me on the evening of July 24th last he reminded me of the fact that I was unwilling to violate the constitution and bylaws of our or sanitation as a. presiding officer so as to permit two women who were with Condos to remain in the meeting hall and on that account he, promised to beat me up that the next time he saw me, and with that he struck me on the head had two witnesses to prove my case while Condos had none to his defense which fact alone I think shows who is right had for my witnesses two of the most prominent and respected Hungarian citizens of this city.
 Yours truly,
 JOSEPH BERES, President of the 1S4s Hungarian In-
 dependent Sick Benefit Society of Bridgeport, Conn.
