the old scientific law-"I.lke repels UNI

There is generally something force
ful about a bad man which appeals 10
a womnn as, strength. something pr.mi-

Of the scamp, for he possesses person

She may even be. aware Of his bad

Give Wives False Jewels.

A number of society wmen in ths United States said a gem expert re-
 gently, are caring jewels which they
 believe to be genuine but which are
 only clever limitations. The expert at tributed this startling fact to ehe dil- plicity of husbands who bought the gems knowing them to be spurious and
 palmed them off on their better halves.
 Difficulties besetting the aateur jewelry buyer were illustrated in suit recently brought by Emy Dastinn, the New York to whom she paid $27,00o for opera singer, against a jewel broker in string of pearls which she clans he represented as genune Oriental pearls and which turned out to be fresh water pearls worth only s5,o00. It is difficult for any but an expert to detect high class imitation pearls from real pearls.

BREAKS RECORD FOR 3-YR. .-OLD GELD|NGS

1 is cheap and the way our boys are now going nothing short of a big league team
 can beat them. The manager also wish es to say that he will not pay attention to any newspaper challenges. If teams with an established reputation wishes to play game with the local team they can have game by writing the manager in businesslike way, also stating their terms and conditions. He also wishes to state that his schedule for the season is almost entirely filled but he probably can find an opening for one or two who prove themselves worthy of a game, oth- erwise they will not be considered. On Sunday, July 25, the Waterbury Elks will be the attraction at the fair grounds and the way the Waterbury boys have been playing the local boys will
 have hard tussle on their hands to win The Waterbury Elks have pit cher who has been battery mate with
 Kellar. the local catcher. Ke1lar says he is some pitcher and he has proven it this season as he has not been scored on in 36 innings.

 Annex of New Britain. Singers and
 American Chain of Bridgeport, so the public can look forward to some class of baseball.
 The attendance at the past two games
 was rather poor, not big enough to main tain a first class club, and it is to be regretted that this should be so in a city | the size of Norwich. The team only plays one game a week and is consid- cred one of the best teams in the state,
 not only by local baseball followers but
 by some of the best critics in the state.
 The management hopes that in the fu- ture that the attendance will be much bigger which is the only encouragement that can be given the players and man agement as well. This is the best team
 Norwich has had in years and the people of Norwich should appreciate it by at , tending the games and not let good old Norwich be outdone by towns and cities
 much smaller.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PROFESSIONAL.

New York, July 13.-In its salient features. trading on the stock exchange today was largely repetition of the preceding session. The instability of prices indicated that last weeks unex- pected advance had not been thoroughly assimilated.
 Dealings were smaller and cores pondingly contracted, but the gyrations of several of the more speculative issues. which fiuctuated within an area of to almost 10 points, afforded further proof of the obviously professional character of the market
 High grade oils were about the only issues to show material gains at the ir- regular close steels equipments, rails, shippings motors and numerous miscel- laneous specialties yielding variably in the general offerings of the last hour. Sales amounted to 65O,900 shares.
 Financial, industrial and commercial advices, so far as they pertained. to quot ed values of securities, were again per functory or negative. Call money was freely available at per cent, that rate ruling throughout the day, but addi- tional withdrawals of local reserves by banks at crop centers, reduced the sup ply of time funds to a minimum.
 Transportation conditions at nearby points improved to limited extent, but the freight blockade, coupled with the tuel shortage offered only slight relief 10 manufacturers of steel and kindred products.
 Another moderate reaction in British exchange was accompanied by reports Ehat England had assumed the greater part of the Anglo-French Loan, but the iscal agents of the British government were without advices on the subject.
