more gratifying on arising In the

Of Il daiutlly served breakfast than to
glance hurriedly over the front page
of ones favOrIte newspaper and see It
covered with startling headlines. 1t
matters little what has happened dur.
ing the night to shock the community,
so long as It satisfies ones appetite
for sensational news. II can be a
fatal conhagration. fearful railroad

column OF narrowing details. The
newspapers are fully alive to what is
expected Of them, but It Is not always
easy to supply the demand. There
are times when the metropolis Ian.

There are no disastrous fires, trains
run without mishap burglars go on a
vacation, society leaders act with de-

dull Further consideration OF the
tariff remains the most thrilling topic

about.
The murder at the aristocratic AS.

editors as an unmixed journalistic

It uD for all 1t was worth. All the
features OF first.class sensation were
present. The victim. Robert Under
wood, was we'll known in society and
a prominent art ConnolsSeur. The
place where the crime was committed
was one OF the most fashionable Of
New York's hostelries. The presumed
assassin was college man and the
son of one Of the most wealthy and
influential Of New York's citizens.

was a black sheep. He had been
mixed up In all kinds Of scandals be-

out Of doors, and he was married to a
woman whose father died in prison.
Could a better combination OF cir

Games Fast.

Hope and Cooperstown played
their initial games for this sea-
son on the Hope diamond on
Tuesday of this week and each
team scored a victory. Both
games were close throughout
and the fans were on the point
Of nervous prostration at all
times as there was no telling
when someone would hit the ball
on the nose and break up the
game. Palfrey and Steinke.
Hopes pitchers, we're in good
form, both pitching winning ball
but four double plays in the
first game pulled Palfrey out of
holes that might have proved
disasterous. But for errors
Steinke would have won his
game. Holstein was the VISITORS
star pitcher and altho he struck
out thirteen men and allowed
only four hits he could not get
the break on the luck and lost,
In the second game Livermore
spoiled several nice steals by
mussing up the first one.
A good sized crowd was out tC
witness the evening game but
the weather was most too windy
for the fans in the afternoon.
