John was charged with having broken into a box car of the Southern Railway and of having robbed the car of two large. bags of sugar,, the prop erty of the Kenney ComDLnv. John was defended before Recorder Jones by Mr. Marion Redd. The prosecution convinced Recorder Jones that there were grounds for probable cause, and John was bound over to the next term of criminal court under a $200 bond. The manner in which John was tak en gave him some surprise. Sometime Saturday Officers Bradley and Cuth bertson discovered a large sack of sug ar under the platform of the ware house on the north end of College street. They reported the matter to headquarters and proceeded to conceal themselves in the neighborhood of the sack of sugar and wait for the owner thereof. They waited from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until after 7. Then their ettorts were rewarded for a young ne gro crawled under the platfcrm and was about to lay hands on the sugar to carry it away when they seized upon him and escorted him to police headquarters. It was afterwards found that the car load of sugar checked up two bags short. The other bag has not been discovered. ! FLY ElSIEfi LIFE By Associated Press. Asheville, March 9.--Mrs. Arthur Rufly who resides near Salisbury, committed suicide here yesterday at the home of Mrs. J. F. Keener, a rela tive, shooting herself twice just be low the heart. Mrs. Rufly was in poor health and had been brooding over her condition ever since her arrival here three weeks ago. Attracted by the shots, her relatives found the wo man stretched on the floor, the weap on still clutched in her hand. She died a few hours later. Slight cuts on her throat and an open razor in the room gave rise to the belief that she first attempted to cut her throat, and when her nerve failed, secured the re volver with which she shot herself. She is survievd by a husband and four children. t MRS. ARTHUR Ru Uneeda Biscuit Nourishment fine fla vor purity crispness wholesomeness. All for 5 cents, in the moisture-proof package.

B AY YALE WINMERS OF LAST ran WILL RETU With Few Exceptions the Yale Nine is All Back-Looks Best of Eastern Colleges-Chief Attention Centers on Her! Prospects. Harvard Bids Fair to Have Pretty Heavy Hitting Team -Seven of Princeton's Last Year's Team is Back-Many New Men Expected to do Well. New York, March 9. Practice for the college and university baseball squads of the east is well under way, and before the month of March has run its course the first games of the season will have been played, provided inclement weather does not balk the schedule makers. As a result of the indoor training to date some idea of the relative strength of the larger in stitution nines is available, and the coaches are already predicting some close series, in the play for intercolle giate honors. Chief attention centers on the Yale prospects at present, ow ing to the remarkable record achieved by the New Haven team last spring. With one or two exceptions, the Yale team of 1913, which won twenty- eight games out of thirty-four played, is intact. The loss of Riddell at first base leaves a gap in the infield, but, with the string of substitutes, and last year's freshmen team available, this position should be filled without trou ble.' Another vacant position is that of Schofield, left fielder. In these two positions Yale is weakest. All the oth er members of the team are in col lege. Captain Blossom at short, Cor nish and second and Reilly at third base form rne of the very best in fields of any college team this season. Middlebrook and Pumpelly vill again play center snd right field, respective ly. The veteran pitchers are Gile and Brown, both of whom can be counted on to equal the good work done lasc yrar. Huntsr will be the mainstay be hind the bat. The Harvard team, which had the distinction of winning the only series that Yalo lost last season, will take the field this spring with almost as many veterans available as the Blue. But three regulars were lost by grad uation last year. In the pitching de partment Frye and Hitchcock form the nucleus of an effective pitching staff. In addition Boyle, MacDonald and Whitney aro also promising pitching candidates. The position of catcher, left vacant by the graduation of Young, will be filled by either Os borne, Waterman or Wallace. Ayres will probably retain his posi tion at first base, although Nash, cap tain of last year's, freshmen team, is, a likely candidate, but Coach Sexton may decide to place Nash in the out field in Alsop's place. Clark will be at second, unless it is deemed necessary to use him behind the bat. In that case Harvey, Phillips and Frippe wall be the contestants for the position Captain WTingate will remain at short stop. At third base one of the candi dates mentioned for second is likely to fill the gap left by the graduation of Tomes. Gannett should retain his position in right .field and Hardwick tak3 care if center fiald. A number of new men will compete for the left field position, the more promising be ing Nash, Curtis, and Milholland. The Harvard 1914 team will be a hard hitting organization, judging from the averages of the men last year es pecially in the championship games, Most of last year's freshmen who are trying for positions this year were good batters so that the team should in no wray suffer from the addition of these men to the ranks. At Princeton seven members of the 1913 nine are eligible for positions this spring.' They are Wall, catcher; Wood and Copeland, pitchers; Captain Rhoads. first base; Gill, second base; Green and Laird, outfielders. Wood and Copeland were the mainstay of the pitching staff last season. From last year's freshman nine Lamberton, Deyo and Link are expected to do well especially the two first named. Be hind the bat, Kelleher, of the undefeat ed .1913 team, is likely to be a close second to Wall for catching honors. In the infield Captain Rhoads is the only likely candidate for first base. Gill, second base last spring, may be shifted to short, leaving Peacock prom inent for the keystone position. Law and O'Kane, both of the freshman in field, will also be strong contenders for second or short. Third base will be difficult to cover. Shea played an exceedingly good game last spring, but his ankle, which was broken in football, may keep him out of the game. For the outfield Green and Laird, regulars, are available. Hanks, a substitute last season, and Hoyt, Glick and G. A. Peacock, of the fresh man nine, should round out into , like ly material. Music In the Home. Music as a factor in home and com munity life was one of the subjects discussed -at this year's short course at the University of Illinois. In con nection with this discussion, a song singing service was held which proved that farmers can sins when called upon, although their voices may have become a bit rust, from lack of practice. No one was observed !3S& ing the hall, and there is e-rrry reason to believe that all enjoyed and profited by this unusual exercise. Singing in the home has apparently lost some of its old time popularity, but it cannot be said to be the fault of the music. Old fashioned singing needs to be re vived. It is a mistake to neglect this delightful pastime and ' the more of it we can inject into the confines of the home the better. Let parents, lecd in encouraging and providing more music within the home. Singing is good for anyone, whether or not he be blessed with musical talent. Even if he cannot sing well, there is a'greatr deal to be gained in singing as well as we can. Farmers' Review. j Plenty! A Catalogue For Everybody THAT IS THE NEWS' PLAN.
