The Connecticut State Base Ball League met in Meriden Thursday and chose the following directors for the year: Claude Gilbert, New Britain; J. C. Chapman, Mer- ce iden; Roger Connor, Waterbury; F. Beardsley, Derby; John Rose, Danbury; J. H. O'Rourke, Bridgeport, and James Donnelly, New Haven. New Haven was admitted to the league, and it was decided to purchase the franchise from Torring- ton and give it to New Haven. As will be seen, the board consists principally of old ball players, including Roger Connor, Jim O'Rourke and James Donnelly. Anti-Race Track Legislation. Senator Crothers’ anti-race track bill passed the Maryland senate last night by a unanimous vote, according to the Balti- more Sun. The race tracks in Ceci! brought a horde of gamblers down upon that county and introduced a class of people objectionable to the native population. A bill was prepared by an association which had been formed to light the race track gambling, but Senator Westcott feared that as the bill was drawn it might have the effect, while abolishing gambling in Cecil, to open the sluices in the other coun- ties. The bill was therefore amended so as to make sure that this objection could not be raised. Athletes After a » Appropriation. Colonel Hamburger, the American rep- resentative of the Amateur Athletle Union to Paris, will leave tomorrow afternoon for Washington to confer with Senator Mason, who is interestirg himself in the bill now In the hands of Senator Thurston in reference to the appropriation for the Paris exposi- tion.

A Hate ¢ Ground Selecte: Grand Campnai, From the Chicago Times-Herald. for the Next Iowa has been selected by the women suffragists as the storm ceater for their national movement. More favorable rally- ing ground could not be selected. If the cause of equal suffrage will rot take root in the soll of Towa it is useless to try to propagate it elsewhere. Towa is populated by a intelligent people. The percentage of illit- eracy, according to the census of 189, was 3.6, Which was lower than that of any other te in the Unien, exc Nebrasica and yoming. Iowa has within its boundaries a large number of cities which are centers of business thrift, culture and education. In public and private educational institu- tions the state occupies front rank among western commonwealths. In its twenty- three colleges it has 440 instructors and 6,887 students. It has more school teachers than any other state in the Union with the single exception of New York sti cording to the statistician of the States bureau of education it has 28,12 teachers, with 543,052 enrolled pupils. If acceptance of the theory that woman's suffrage is necessary te tha perpetuity of our institutions depends upon education and the spread of popular intelligence, as its advocates claim, the proposition could not be submitted to « more friendly tri- lunal than the votcrs of the hawkeye com- monwealth. In politics the people of Tow have a reputation for weighing public que tions intelligently, conservatively and judi- clously. If they are permitted by the leg lature to vote upon the proposed amend- ment to the state constitution, we may be assured that their verdict will represent careful and conscientious investigation In selecting a battle ground for the fight that is to be made preliminary to a national contest the women have chosen wisely. The legislature should grant their appeal to submit the question to a vote of t people. That is all the advocates of equal suffrage are asking for at this time. The verdict of no other state in the Union will command su-h respect from the nation es the verdict of Iowa.

NICHOLAS HOTEL Arrested, Hustled Into a Cab and Taken to Train. NOW EN ROUTE TO PITTSBURG ee PITTSBURG, February §.—The Pittsburg Dispatch this morning publishes the fol- lowing telegram from a staff correspond- ent, dated St. Louis: “Chris Von der Ahe, the base ball mag- nate, was taken into custody here last evening by a Pittsburg detective. The most unique character in the sporting world was really kidnaped, and is now on his way to the smoky city, where his body may be held for an indefinite period, on a judgment given by the courts in the suit brought by Mark Baldwin, the base ball pitcher. “The kidnaping of Mr. Von der Ahe, for it is such in the true meaning of the word, will no doubt create a big sensation. He was decoyed to the St. Nicholas Hotel, where he was hustled into the carriage after being shown the bail piece carried by Detective Nichoias Bendel. The car- riage Was driven around aimlessly until it was time to board a train for the cast. Shoved Into a Car. “Then he was shoved into It, and is now on his way to Pittsburg, where he will either have to make good the judgment of $2,500 rendered against him in the Ealdwin case or remain in jail until such time as Wm. A. Nimick, who was on his bond when he was first arrested on the charge preferred by Pitcher Baldwin was made, is satisfied.” The kidnaping party has been heard from and is well on its way to Pittsburg. Detective Nicholas Bendel, wiv kidnap- ed Chris Von der Ahe, the base ball mag- nate, in St. Louis last evening, is expected to reach Pittsburg with his prisoner laté this evening. The arrest was made at the insti ef W. A. Nimick, former president Pittsburg Base Ball Club, who went Von der Ahe’s bond when’ the latt arrested in this city on the charge ferred by Pitcher Mark Baldwin. The litigation between Baldwin and Von der Ahe was commenced in IS9i, and grew out of the dispute between the National was pre- League and American Association. Bald- win was connected with the Pittsburg League Club and Von der Ahe was presi- dent of the St. Louis Association Club, For Malicious Prosecution. The former went to St. Louis to secure Pitcher King, and was arrested on a charge of conspiracy preferred by Von der Ahe. When the case was tried Baldwin was dis- charged. He then brought suit against Von der Ahe fcr malicious prosecution, and asked $10,000 damages. Von der Ahe was arrested in Pittsburg and Nimick became his surety. The case was tried twice, and verdicts given both times for $2,500.’ Von der Ahe appealed to the Supreme Court, but the lower court was sustained. * As nothing was secured on an execution issued against Von der Ahe, and the sheriff made a return that the defendant could not be found in the county, his bondsman, Nimick, decided to have him brought to this city to forestall proceedings for recovery on the bond. If he is surrendered by his bondsman in Pittsburg and fafls to pay the amount of the verdict against him, with interest and ccsts, he can be placed in jail He would have to stay there sixty days before he could apply to the court for his release under the insolvent law. It would then rest with the court whether or not he would be released. Passes Through Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, Ohio, February §.—Chris Von der Ahe of base ball fame, who was kidnaped in St. Louis by a Pittsburg de- tective, took breakfast at the Central pas- senger station early today and proceeded on his way to Pittsburg without having an opportunity to K to the public through the medium of nterview. CONDENS D BY FREEZING, ss for Preserving Milk Indefinitely. A New Proc From the Philadelphia Reeord. Considering the wide and extended use of condensed milk products, the new method of manufacturing ity ing instead of a heating proce. ried out at Cattaraugus. N. portant and interesting. The ment consists In ing the Y first milk treat- in vacuum chamber to rid it of animal gases pla and atmospheric air dissolved in the milk, which appears at the surf, bles, and thus escape. This reduces volume of the milk about one-tenth. {milk leaves this chamber at the pt temperature for the removal of th ty contents by means of a cream sep in bub- the tor which Is set to run heavy cream. During thi any foreign matter, such as solid particles, which are always in evidence, are removed ix added subsequently due From the separator the fat-free milk is run over a bank « pper pipes, through which ice water circulates, reducing the temperature of the milk from 80 de- gre After passing over these cooling coils it is placed in refrigerating cham- bers und constantly stirred. In about nine hours the whole bulk of milk is con- into a mass of ice crystals and milk ently thick to form into hummocks. his is again placed in a centrifugal, milk reduced in volume about on: werage sample of the ice, which looks and the cream to the finished pro- much like snow, gives on analysis enths of one per cent of id matter, The now thick milk turned to the freezing clos and in ab seven hours more it de ss of cryst ; measures only one-quarter of 1 bulk. A third freezing of four znd a half hours, and a centrifugal ex- traction, reduces the bulk of the milk to about thirteen per cent of its original vol- ume. ‘The finai step of the process is the ac mixture of the heavy cream in proper pro- pertions to the fat-free milk. This final uct, or condensed milk, 1s a fair rep- entation of milk minus the bulk of its water. Moreover, it is free from foreign flavors, and has an aroma which ts true to the milk from which it is prepared. It mixes readily with water, forming milk from which cream will separate as from untreated milk. To show the great con- centration of the milk, it may be stated that taking 100 gallons of milk as a unit quantity, this would reduce to thirteen gallons in the end. In other words, the eighty-seven gallons of water in the milk are formed into ice, leaving an unfrozen balance of very thick milk, which repre- sents in milk sugar, casein’ and inorganic salts fully nine gallons of solids. The fat equivalent added by the heavy cream re moved in the first operation is adjusted in the final treatment to represent a dilution with water three parts and condensed milk one part, a proportion of three and six-tenths per cent of milk fat, which is the normal proportion in the average milk. It is stated that condensed milk prepared in this manner will keep indefinitely, as the micro-organisms producing fermen- tation are destroyed. ——— Skillfal Shooting. From the London Times. A private performance was given on Fri- day afternoon at the Royal Music Hall by Col. Gaston Bordeverry, who is represented to be “the greatest pistol shot of the world.” Two of his tricks were striking. He cut with a pistol bullet a swinging thread, causing the dependent bell to fall end ring, and he hit from a most uncom- fortable attitude the edge of a card held sideways to him. Also with a pistol bullet and at short range he grazed the head of an erect lucifer so as to set it aflame. But the gilt of that exploit seemed less bright when a bystapder with a rifle performed precisely the same feat. DOO 90'0N'0 OS MERTZ’S. —Too much care can't be taken with prescriptions. It's as of much importance that prescriptions be accurately compounded as that the phy- sician orders the proper drugs. —No pharmacists in town take so much care and so many precautions as we. We havea prescription department --the only one in town--that is separate from the store. Our pharmacists are thoroughly experienced. They're never disturbed or called on to per- form other duties.

Thompson,’ JDOOO3 FRENCH SCHOOL, Regulations Regarding Admission of Ame! m Student: OF MINES, General Porter, United States ambass dor to France, has written to the Seer tary of State, in answer to an inquiry in ‘gard to the admission of a student from United States into the School of Mines, No foreign student, he Ss. can enter any of the’ schools ef France—medicine, phar- m: dentist veterinary, painting, «: sign, architecture, muste, declamation, gineering, ete.—without the formal ay cation of the diplomatic representative of his country. In most cases two letters suf- fice, one making application, the pressing thanks when the grant Sometimes more correspondence is necessary, for the reason that those pro- posing to enter any schools have to produ of studies, or diplomas, which t ties accept only when they come the emt These rules, says Porter, apply to all foreign students. Na discrimination is made against Americans: on the contrary, the authorities extend ali possible facilities to them. There is a large number of American students in Paris, and, as a rule, they are much liked by the teachers in French institutions. As for the School of Mines, he contin- ues, foreigners can be admitted there eith er as foreign pupils, in which case they have to stand an examination, or as free auditors, in which case there is no exam- ination. All the courses, however, are not open to that class of students, and no di- ploma is granted them. In both cases they have to pay 50 franes ($0.65) for matricu- lation. If the school is full, as occasionally happens, the application for admission is put off until the next year. eo Consoling the Mother, From Tit-Rits. At the close of a “baby show” which had been held In the public hall ef a country town an exhibitor went to claim her cheru, On a squalling lump of humanity being handed to her by the smiling checktaker she gave one glance aj the infant's face and then exclaimed, in an agonized tono of voice: “Good gracious, man, but this is not my baby!” “Very sorry, ma’am,” replied the cheerful checktaker, “but “it’s the only one I have left. You see, somehow or other the checks got mixed. However,” he added, by way of an apology, “it shan’t occur again.” eee ee ee ee ‘The widow of Henry George is suing the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for $5,000 damages for injuries received at the st@tiog in Philadelphia in 1894.
