Chick Evans in the western anna
teur golf tournament at Cleveland to-
day has chance to equal Chandler
Egan's record Of winning the title
four times. Evans will play James
Standish Of Detroit in the finals and
should have little difficulty in down
ing the Michigan youth. He did it
last year in the tournament at Grand
Rapids after beating Sawyer in the
semi-finals, Just as he did yesterday.
Sawyer and Evans played the most
remarkable match golf seen in
tournament in years. Sawyer was
always ahead until the 34th hole, but
Evans finished with shots that were
supernatural Fourteen. of the 35
holes were won under par figures, ten
were won at par and seven were tied
at par. That is indication enough of
the wonderful work of the two Chi
cagoans.
Sawyer took one 455-yard hole, a
par five, in three, and another par
four was taken in two when. Evans
knocked his ball into the cup. De-,
spite these fine holes by Sawyer, EV-
ans had the best medal score, COW
ering the Sc holes in TIP, for 143,
and Sawyer was five strokes worse.
Sawyer lacked the consistency Of
Evans, owing to the fact he plays too
little golf. If the Wheaton man had
the opportunity for more practice he
would be a fighting contender in
every big tournament Of the country.
As in past years the Avondale Gun
club will celebrate it's anniversary by
holding a tournament on its grounds
Sunday, July %, for which a very
large number Of valuable prizes will
be contested.
Event No. will start promptly at
1,p. m. Other nine events VIII fol-
low with all speed possible.
The clubs regular shoot will COM
mence at $50 a. m. promptly. Wis

RoWiand's White Sox exhibited one
peculiar attribute of championship
team yesterday that encouraged the
fans who watch the little things Of
the game. That was ability to get
runs when necessary and to play for
just the required margin.
Early in the game the White Sox
rolled home a couple of runs on some
sound hitting and sacrificing. This
seemed like a good lead, with Eddie
Cicotte pitching one of the best
games of his career. In the first sew
en- innings Eddie had famed ten men
and been found for but two hits. He
wavered a trifle in the eighth and the
Yanks rolled home run.
That didn't worry the Sox and the.

Harrison avenue, Monday noon, was very pretty and delightfully."- in- formal affair, being attended by the families only of the bride and groom.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev.
 W. G. Colgrove, pastor of the Metho- dist church, and the young couple were unattended. The bride wore a gown of blue silk popln. The house was decorated with a profuson of wild flowers and potted plants, the parlor where the ceremony took place being made especially attractive MT
 and Mrs. Kimber were the recipients of many valuable and useful gifts, including silver. cut glass, furniture
 linen and gold pieces They are both we'll known in Monson, the bride having been connected with tue activities of the younger set in the Methodist church and for some time member of the church choir. The groom is the elder son of MT. and Mrs. John Kimber of Washington street and was educated in our public schools and academy. He is also an honor pupil of the Spring field technical high, and now holds a lucrative posi- tion with the New London Ship and Engine Go at Groton, Conn. After a wedding dinner the young couple started on wedding journey and will be at home to their friends after July 1, at 4 Baker avenue, Groton, Conn.

NEWPORT IS UNIQUE.
As a Watering Placo ls Is In cia.


 All bj i,5
 Newport i, or glo.s st invention in wate..ns place. 'r,.e $ 10 hing at al like it aE. '. heic C. e in the world. At first glance Cones lsltnd would ap pear to many peope L4o.e character istically Amelican, and Newport, in- Gecd, a mere snoDbish imitation of Europe. But if there is anything like Newport in Europe it has escaped at least the present wrisar's notice, whereas something very like the ad- mirable Coney he could duplicate in several quarters of the globe.
 Newport is the only watering place in the world where there are no hotels and no hotel life, no fashionable prone made, no scene of gayety accessible to the stranger for an admission fee. On trating the Casino might see a few young people in fannels playing tennis and scant dozen of their elders drop- ping in for moment to say good morning or to deliver some message He might with extra good luck observe one of the queens of fashion drinking an orangeade. That would be, with the single exception of tennis week, about all he would observe
 He would, of course, be free to walk the weary length of Bellevue avenue between clipped green hedges and see the pleasant Newport homes-only few of them palaces" But nobody would be stirring in the houses and no one walking in the avenue. An oc- casional motor would roll by, that is all. He could also take that pretty walk along the cliffs and see more pleasant houses-still only a few of them "palaces.'' He might, if the fates so incline, perhaps see fashion able footman at the window; he could scarcely hope for the butler. He could see the avenue whirring at half past 8, the dinner hour. And strolling through the night he might here and there observe lines of motors waiting under the shadowy trees, and even hear dance music beating in the calm, soft darkness.
 Newport presents, in fact, singlar of quietness, of distinction, of an existence not wholly in the pub- lie eye.-Harper's Magazine

London's Bridues,

At a time when the population of London was well ~cer a million and her houses lay for miles on each side of the river she was apparently well content with her one London bridge. At length in 1734 Westminster was seized with the desire to have a bridge of her own. Application was made to parliament for powers only to encounter the fiercest opposition from the city, the 10000 watermen, the in- habitants of Southwark and the west country bargemen, all of whon im- plored the commons to protect them against this new enemy. The result was that the bridge was not built till 1750. Blackfriars, at first called Pitts bridge, was finished in 1769 at a cost of f260,000, defrayed by tolls. Water loo was opened on the second anniver- sary of the famous battle with great pomp by the prince regent in person, accompanied by his royal brother, the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington and many distinguished people.-Lon- don Answers

A Troublesome Caroo.

"An elephants shoulder is never still' is a Hindu saying with refer ence to the restlessness of the animal An Englishman tells how the elephant s passion for moving about once came near wrecking ship.
 A number of elephants were taken on board vessel at Calcutta, and the steamer went down ths Hugli river. At night it anchored off Sangor point. The sea was as still as oil, but the ship rolled so much that she was in danger of going over. The elephants had found that by swaying to and fro all together they could produce a pleas ant rocking motion. As the ship had no other cargo and rode light the cap tain was much frightened. The ma houts, or keepers, were hurried down into the hold, and each one, seated on his own beast, made him ''break step," but they had to stay there for a long time.

"No Quarter Given.n

"It is forbidden to declare that no quarter shall be giyen.' So say The Hague regulations. That is q more modern rule than you would think. The Duke of Wellington said that he understood that the defenders of q for tress taken by storm had no right. to quarter, although he himself did not, as rule, adopt such a cruel practice. A century ago, when feeble garrison stubbornly held out ill a feebly fortified place against force manifestly supe rior and apparently able to take it eventually, it was usually refused quar- ter. There was an attempt to justify the refusal by q doctrine of futile re- sistance"-tha he who uselessly resist ed and caused assaulting or besieging forces unnecessary loss of life did not deserve to have his own life spared But that doctrine has been rejected Carried to its logical conclusion it would mean that every member of weaker force in any kind of armed con test could be killed.-William NJ.

DEAD FINGERS.
Curious Conditions That Come With
 Raynaud's Disease.

Curious Conditions That Come With Raynaud's Disease.
 Raynaud's disease is a singular afflic- tion in which the circulation ill the ex- tremities-in the fingers or toes gen erally-becomes for time entirely Obstructed. It occurs in persons of nervous temperament, and often fol- lows an exposure to severe cold; it may occur alone, as purely neurotic symp- tom, or it may be associated with some other disease, such as epilepsy, Bright's disease neurasthenia, hysteria or anaemia. It is most often met with more often affected than men. It Is, however, occasionally seen even in chil- dren, and in old people as well.
 The simplest form of the disease is sometimes called "dead fingers" In such a case the fingers of the patient become dead white or bluish white and actually look as if they belonged to dead person. The local circulation may be so completely obstructed that the fingers will not bleed even if they are cut. Sometimes the condition lasts only few minutes, but it may go on for several hours, or even days. Ray maud called it 'local syncope," because the affected finger or toe acts as if it had really tainted from loss of blood, although the circulation is normal in the rest of the body. The condition is believed to be caused by spasms in some of the small arteries.
 In the more severe form of Raynaud's disease the affected part turns purple instead of white and becomes swollen and tingling, just as 1t would if the circulation were impeded by a string tied tightly round the finger.
 In the most severe form of all-which is happily not frequent-gangrene Oc- CUTS; that happens only when the at Jacks have been so frequent that the circulation is cut off most of the time Tn an ordinary attack of dead fin gers" massage is helpful, although it should not be roughly or ignorantly applied, since the skin is drained of its life for the time being, and can be easily broken. Avoid exposure to cold and protect the extremities carefully by warm clothing. Those who are subject to these attacks are generally better off in a warm climate.-Youth's Companion.

Why Milk SourS,

We are told by those who study the ways and ravages of the mischievous microbe that he is very fond of sugar and that he delights to gratify this liking by turning the supply in milk into an acid which sours the milk. These microbes are constantly in the air. alive though invisible, and ready to drop into the milk when they can. If it were possible to keep the milk from the air after the COW is milked 1t would not turn sour. Warm milk is particularly inviting to the microbe and favorable to his operations. He does not get along well under chilling conditions, and that is why the sweet ness of milk can be preserved if it is kept cold. Boiling fresh milk changes the sugar in such a way that the mi crobe cannot feed upon it.-Baltimore American.

 The following notice which has appeared in various newspapers during the week is self-explanatory and is of interest to all who are planning to travel with baggage: The public is hereby notified that on and after June ?, 1915. each person check ing baggage or other property from a point in one state to point in an other state must make a declaration of the value of such baggage or property when it is presented if r checking. Each person, or his agent, must sign declaration before baggage can be checked. This regulation is made following the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in connection with the so called Gum mins amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act passed by the last con- gress. Passengers are urged to allow more time than heretofore for the checking of baggage. Blank forms will be provided at all stations for passengers to sign. No baggage will be forwarded unless the passenger, or his agent signs the declaration Under the Cummins amendment passed by the last Congress, the railroads must pay full value for all baggage lost or damaged, and by sanction of the in terstate commerce commission, pass engers checking baggage to points out side the state must pay for insurance if the value exceeds $1OO. The rate of 10 cents for every $1OO in addi- tional value will be less burdensome than the method of its collection. In order that the companies may protect themselves from fraudulent claims for lost baggage and other property the passenger department heads deem it necessary to secure declarations from passengers.

Why?

Why should one try to catch 8 weasel asleep?" Because when awake, weasels are practically expert in elud- ing capture. It is scarcely possible, says "The Reason Why" to imagine an animal sleeping more soundly than the weasel does when once it gives it. self up to rest. It may be taken up by the head, the heels, or the tail, and swung about for a considerable time before it begins to awake.
