 articles of personal adornment of the most expensive and exclusive variety. He is manicured two or three times each week, massaged and fused up, and generally indulges in those things which are forbidden by a, lean purse ' Jacob Hamburger. a private detec- tive, employed by Mrs. Storey, and her counsel, John J. Robinson, served Mrs. Bird with the papers in the alienation action yesterday as she was

JUMPS CONNOLLY
To BE HONOREO
Veteran American Lacquer 10 BE
Given Honor Cross by
ban johnson.

New York, March 7.--Umpire Tom
Connolly, veteran American league ar
bitter. is to be given signal honors in
token OF his long years of service a.
a Judge OF play on the diamond.
President Ban Johnson recently an
nounced that the order OF the cross
will be conferred on Connolly, who
will celebrate his twenty-ffth season
as handler of the indicator this year.
The cross to be given Connolly will
not be an iron cross. It will not be a
token emblematic OF militarism. nor
yet the double cross. II will be a gold
Maltese cross, fttingly beieweled, and
will be official recognition of long and
faithful service
This honor has been bestowed on
but one other umpire in the history
OF the American league. the late Jack
Sheridan being the first to receive it.
Connolly began his career as an
umpire in the New England league
away back in 1894 After serving in
that circuit for four seasons and es-
tablishing a reputation for compe-
tence and fearlessnsss in Judging
plays, he was engaged by the National
league.
His career as Eational Lacquer
began in 1888 and he remained a
member OF the Nationals staff until
1900, when illness forced him TO quit
his post In the spring OF the follow
ing year he went TO the newly forme
American league and has been there
ever since
He has seen players come and go
in his tirne--hundreds Of them--and a
strange part of his career as an Amer
