Rogan played eleverly in the fourth
inning of the second game yesterday.
He started to steal to second before
Crumpler had wound up, but was
forced back when Crumpler turned
and started after him. 1t looked
as if he had been caught in a trap,
but he ran back just fast enough to
make Crumpler feel that he could
catch him, and then dropped right
under the first baseman when he
tossed the ball.

Solitude Has Its Value.

Proofs Of growth due to solitude are
endless. Millions greatest work was
done when blindness, old age and the
death OF the Puritan government
forced him into cOmpletest seclusion.
Beethoven did his best work in the SOL
itude OF deafness. Bacon would never
have been the great leader of sclen-

DOG HAD NO LEGAL RIGHTS
Moral Obligation Of seIf-Defe1ss II
Not countenaneed In Court and
Owner Ia Liable.

"The dog never bit anyone unless
he was bedeviled," said dog owner
in court the other day, notes an ex-
change. II was evident that he sup
posed that this fact excused him
from liability in a case where the
dog really did bite, and was sur
prised when he was, nevertheless,
fined S. for the dogs act.
1t is an interesting question in
casuistry, as well as in law, as to
whether the "bedeviled" dog has a
right to retaliate with his teeth on
the bedeviler, and inferentially as to
whether the owner of the dog isl
Justly liable for the injury done.
The question separates itself into Il
moral aspect and legal aspect. Thu
dog may be said to have Q mora
right to resist the bedeviier after duo
warning in the form Of a growl and
an exhibition of teeth. This right
rests on the immemorial obligation
of self defense. But the moral aspect
of the subject is quite different from
its legal aspect. The dog really has
no legal rights which a man is bound
to respect, and the master or owner
of the dog is held to be responsible
for the damage or injury which a
dog inAicts, even in legitimate sel'
defense.

PAUL JONES FLAG IS FLOWN
Memento Of the Revolution 10 Once
More Flung 70 the Breeze In
centervllIe, Nd.

A relic Of the Revolution has once
more been flung to the breeze in
Centerville, Nd, the flag carried by
the Ranger Of the Continental navy,
commanded by John Paul Jones.
This is said to have been the first
American flag ever thrown TO the
breeze in Europe, and is owned by
William Anthony. 1t has the origi-
nal 10 stars and stripes.
Though tattered and torn at its
end from whipping in the ocean
gales, the flag still is in fairly good
state Of preservation.
The frigate Ranger was the first
vessel to carry the flag into Euro
pean waters. Paul Jones' flag was
made by the girls Of Portsmouth,
N. H., from their silk gowns. The
first country in the old world to
salute the Stars and Stripes was
France, one of her men-of-war fir
ing the salute as Jones came in sight
of the French coast. He carried the
dispatches announcing the surren-
der of Burgoyne.
The 10 stars in the flag were cut
from the wedding gown Of Miss
Helen Seavey of Portsmouth, who
had married an officer in the Cont
mental army. The great-grandfa-
ther of Mr.. Anthony was a sailor on
the Ranger and brought the flag
back to America. 1t is kept in an
iron chest and has never been out
of Mr.. Anthony's possession since it
was given him as a memento Of the
Revolution.

GOOD DEMAND FOR CATSKlNS
Gotham Fur Dealers Said to Be Offer
ing Sixty Cents to a Dollar
for Feline Peits.

New York fur dealers are adver-
Using for catskins, notes the Pat
terson Call. There are persons in
every neighborhood who will pray
that the fur dealers secure a goodly
supply; in fact, they will aid and
assist the dealers in securing the
skins of a few cats in the vicinity,
if advised how to proceed. But that
has nothing to do with the matter in
this instance, for this is a business
proposition and is not influenced by
the prejudice against cats.
Catskins have not been highly
valued in the past, although their
fur is good and can be worked up
into merchandisable commodities
very readily. The skunk skin-and
the skunk is related to the cat
brings a good price, but the COM
mon house cat has not been in de-
mand for its fur until this time.
Now, however, the New York mer-
chants will pay so cents for the skin
of any old kind of cat, and dollar
for the skin of Maltese-and twice
as much for the skin of perfectly
black cats.

Condenser to Be Installed.

At the town meeting last spring a
committee of three was appointed to
take up with the Deerfeld Pulp Co., at
Mountain Mills the question of the OBJ
noxious gases and odors which escape
from their plant and are at times so an
moving in this village. In reply to in
quiries as to what is being done by the
committee, the members wish to make
the following statement:
We consulted with the president, Mr..
Blandin and the chemist and other of
fcials of the pulp company and found
that it would require the installation of
very expensive machinery to entirely
eliminate the odors arising from the
pulp mill. There is, however, to be in
stalled by the pulp company an appara'
tus known as a condenser, by means of
which the gases are to be passed
through water and thereby condensed
This process has been reasonably sue
ceasful elsewhere, and il is expected
that it will materially reduce the un-
pleasant features here in Wilmington.

COOLEY WRITES FROM FIT. SILL
Taking Four Months Course in Two
Plans to Work Hard on Return to
|. Vermont in August

In a letter to Maj. Linn ID. Taylor from
Fort Sill, Okla, Maj. w. O. Cooley OF
Brattleboro, selected from the First Yer
mont regiment as the officer to receive
special instruction there in order to later
instruct the regiment, writes of the worl;
there.
'The work here" he writes, sis very
hard as we are attempting to take a four
months course in two, but it is very in.
terestng and some of the course is based
upon reports and observations made
abroad The weather is extremely hot and
very little rain has fallen for months, but
the nights are cool and we can stand it all
right.
1--WE work from 8 until u and from !
until with lecture every night followed
by study period in. the class room of one
and one-half hours. Every Saturday we
have written exercise on the work OF
the week in which we are marked for rat
ing You see we have little time for our
own. 1t is fine chance to learn something
and / expect to work hard when / get
back and give the regiment the benefit OF
my course"
After expressing the belief that the regi
ment will be ordered south in the fall he
adds that there viii be a period of train
ing in France. He expects to leave the
fort about August ! and intends to stoT
off in Bratteboro for day or two before
going to Fort Ethan Allen.
