Noah Websters Beaten by The Academy ball team lined up for a practice game on the campus Thurs- day afternocn with tke Noah Websters from Norwich Town, easily defeating them, 21 to 6. The Websters were shert a pitcher when they started, and the Academy got some great batting practice in the first three innings while Jack Casey was in the box and the single inning while Tim Sullivan bent them over. Ben Houlihan was in the box for the Websters in the last four innings. The schoolboys landed on him for six hits, five of them coming in the sixth. Houlihan fanned out the side on his first appearance in the box. Jack Gallivan twirled a game that the Websters couldn’t touch, although Jack Riley led off with the big scream of the afternoon, a homer over center- field fence to open the game. Gallivan 1etired on strikes the three batters who faced him In the second and piled up a total 6f nine strikeouts to his credit. Coach Tirrell was on the beach with the Academy men, watching closely their signal game and _inside work, wl ich needed to be touched up in sev- eral Instances in the matter of wide- awake base running. Captain Noyes was right on the job, boosting the men along to a lively gait, and pul'ed down one nice skyscraper in left field, be- sides batting strongly. The Academy boys were out in their handsome new suits for the first time, presenting a spick and span appearance, and their play showed plenty of promise of stréngth which will make them formid- able opponents to the other teams of the league. For their first league game the Academy goes to Willimantic on Sat- urday to play the Windham High school. 4009%—2123 4 0001—6 8 7 GEORGE DRAPER TRAINED A WINNING TEAM. Atlantic City Y. M. C. A.

MORE CHEERFUL MOOD Displayed by Speculators — Upward Stock Movement More Uniform. New York, April 32.—The speculative | mood in the stock market today took on a more cheerful hue, although in somewhat subdued fashion. Stocks which were soid yesterday were re- | purchased today, ~and the upward movement became more uniform and consistent than the halting and frreg- | ular decline of yesterday. The sub- | dued tone of the speculation may be | justly attributable to the firmer tone of the market for call loans, rates for that form of credit ranging above 2 per | cent. again today. The improved finan- clal position of many railroad compan- fes ag & result of loans already placed makes & strong sustaining influence for values. Another substantiul suport in | confidence is the subsidence of appre- hension over the grain crop position. This is partly due to the decline in the price of wheat, which was contim today. Cheering advices of tic condi- | tion of the growing winter at crop | and of the spring wheat sceding were added to this symptom. The impres- sion made by extravagant claims of depleted stocks of grain in the inter- est of the wheat speculation is thus di- minished. The reviving d pigiron is considered of the portance as a barometer of b ditions, and reports were in circulation today in the financial district that the earnings of the United Stafes Steel eorporation for the first quarter, which | are to be reported next Tuesday, would | be found much better than has been estimated In current mo Favor- able reports were received also in gard to the copp strength In the N York Traction stocks was traceable to the reports of carnings coming from the receivers, in trade. Special whose hi§nds those properties are heN. The anrbuncement that the Pennsyl- nia had repurchased the Norfolk and rn stock sold some time ago to nkers during the height of the anti-corporation agitation was consid- erel highly siznificant of the increased feli by corporation man- rding thie tone of publle sen- ent_towards them. The bond mar- ket showed notable breadth and strength. Total sales, par value, $10,- 240,000. United States threes coupon advanced 1-4 per cent. on call. STOCKS. S. F.

Saleswomen Are Remarkably Adept at Their Buasiness, That the saleswomen in European shops are wonderfully quick-witted has often been noted. This is especially true of the French. Many of them, without understanding English, will in- terpret correctly the comments Ameri- cans make aside when examining goods, simply by studying their ges- tures and facial expressions. Once in Brussels we were looking at gloves. To my certain knowledge the sales- woman was wholly- unacquainted with the English language. My companion | said privately to me: “I am afraid these gloves will spot.” . “O, no, madame,” the saleswoman {instantly interrupted, in French, “they will mever spot at all.” In Boulogne-sur-Mer, at a shop for men’s furnishings, I asked for dress ehirts. A very bright young woman gave me a quick, sharp glance, and then brought some specimens. They bore no distinguishing marks as to size. “Is there some man here who can take my measure?” I asked. “That 18 not necessary, sir, she replied, very sweetly. ‘“Are you sure these will fit me? “Perfectly.” “But how can you tell?” I argued, uncon- vinced. “Why, sir,” she explained in surprise at my doubt, “I looked at you” So I took the shirts to my room and tried them on, and surely enough, they were the best fit I ever had.—Travel Magazine. INSISTED ON HOLE IN COFFIN. Through It Col. Butler’s Triumphant Pigtail Should Protrude. Thomas Butler, a colonel in the army of the United States early in the nineteenth century, dfed in New Or- leans in 1805 in the midst of his cele- brated controversy with Gen. Wilkin- son regarding the wearing of his queue. Col. Butler insisted on wearing his bair in the old-fashioned style in dis- obedlence to Wilkinsen's orders. Ac- cording to Pierce Butler in his biog- raphy of Judah P. Benjamin, while the dispute was still raging Butler died and left directions that a hole should be bored in the head of his coffin and that he should be borne to the grave with his triumphant pigtail protruding in defiance. The family tradition is that these directions were carried out. But He Might Object.
