YESTERDAY’S FOOTBALL GAMES.

Pennsylvania Defeats Cornell in a
Hard-Fought Battle.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26,—The Uni-
versity of Pennsyivania and the Cor-
nell football teams played their annual
Thanksgiving game on Franklin Field
yesterday afternoon.

Thé betting was very quiet. The
Quakers bet even money that Cornell
would not score. It was well-nigh im-

, possible to get any one to bet that Cor-
nell would win, and the few wagers
«that were made on the Ithacans were
with heavy odds on Pennsylvania.

When the teams lined up about twen-
ty thousand spectators were on the
field. Pennsylvania ran on the field at
!.02 o’clock, followed by Cornell.

Cornell‘won the toss for selection of
goal, and selected the east end, having
a. slight advantage over the southeast
wind thereby.

The Quakers were surprised at the
remarkable showing made by Cornell
at the start, and when time was called
for the first half the ball was in
PennSy’s thirty-yard line, the score be-
lng: Pennsylvania, 0; Cornell, 0.

Not a cheer was raised by the dis-
couraged Quakers between halves.
Woodrufi urged his men to play a hard
game in the second half, and strive to
wind the Cornellians.

Cornell’s play in the first half showed
thegeleven to be the best ever turned

. out by Ithaca, and fully equal to Har-
vard; ,

The second half started at 3.13
o’clock, and was a fast and hard-
[ought battle to the finish. The
Quakers had the advantage of the
wind, but wet ground made long runs
dangerous.

When time was called the ball was in
midfield.

' Final score: Pennsylvania, 4; Cor-
nell, 0.’ ‘
Lafayette, 22; Lehigh, 0.

South Bethlehem, Nov. 26.——Lafayette
and Lehigh played a'spirited game of
football here yesterday afternoon be-
fore a tremendous croWd. Lehigh went

in the fight to keep Lafayette’s score"

below that of the first game this sea-
son, and did so. Lafayette played
without Walbridge, her star halfback,
and in consequence was weakened by
the displacing of her line, Duffey going
to halfback and Chalmers taking his
place at tackle. Weidenmeyer was
called on to do star work, and came up
to the demand every time. He played
a beautiful game. Shortly after the
contest opened he got the ball for a
run around the end and made thirty
yards, carrying the ball dangerously
near the Lehigh line. The latter made
a brave stand and kept their opponents
off for a time, but Weidenmeyer finally

went through for touchdown. Rinehart ‘

kicked a goal.

In the next play there was some kick-
ing of the ball on both sides, Lehigh
resorting to this to keep the ball from
her goal line. Weidenmeyer, however,
plunged through the centre for fifteen
yards and a touchdown, from which
Rinehart kicked a goal. The half end-
ed: Lafayette, 12; Lehigh, 0.

Lehigh braced up in the second half,
and for ten minutes it was a pretty
exhibition. ~Then Weidenmeyer, by a
succession of short runs, aided by good
interference by Rinehart,‘ Boyd and
Herr, scored a touchdown, Rinehart
kicking the goal. There was another
touchdown made" by Werthington fif-
teen minutes later, bringing the score
up to 22.

The try at goal failed and the game
ended: Lafayette, 22; Lehigh, 0.

 

MICHAEL AN EASY WINNER.

Welsh Cycling Wonder Too Much
For Starbuck.

New York, Nov. ins—Scams are no
new things with little Jimmy Michael,
the Welsh racing wonder.
other last evening from Frank Sta-r-
buck, the Quaker, defeating him round-
ly in a twenty-five-mile paced race in
Madison Square Garden before the
largest crowd ever gathered in the
amphitheatre 'to witness a bicycle race.

At the end of the contest the diminu-
tive fiyer was a trifle over two miles
in the lead, Starbuck having fall-en ‘be—
hind continually after the second mile,
when he led for two laps. The winner’s
time was 50m. 291-55., which is pretty
fast traveling, although not near the
record.‘

.ll‘he track was nine laps to the mile,
and the manner in which the principals
and their pacing men flew around the
corners was enough to make one’s hair
stand on end. Women held their
breath, men looked serious and the
younger element cheered when the
turns were made, and when the cracks
flew up the straights everybody seemed
in duty bound tp shout. It was a great
night for the sport of cycling. It es-
tablished beyond any doubt that racing
on wheels has found a warm place in
the hearts of those/ who love a contest
in which a steady nerve, muscle and
speed win applause.

At the end of the race Michael was

 

going like a streak,-while Starbuck,.

over two miles in the rear, pedaled as
if he had no interest in the contest
whatever.
, The fastest mile was the ninth,
which was covered in 1.57 2-5. The sec-
ond mile, when Starbuck led, was done
in 2051-5. The winner received $1,400
for his .fifty minutes’ work and the
loser get $600. Each man had the
privilege of using as manyépacemak-

ers as he desired, and each had about.

thirty, mounted on tandems and trip—
lets.

Blilzard in Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 26.—Last evening
the mercury dropped to zero, and a
fearful gale from the northwest swept
fine particles of snow in every direction
throughout Nebraska.

The snow is piling up in huge drifts
in the'streets, impeding all kinds of
traffic. Out in the State the situation
. is even worse. k

In the eXtreme western part of the
State the fiercest sort of a blizzard ex-
ists, and more damage is threatened
to stock interests than at any time this
Fall.

Dnrrant- May Die Soon.

San Francisco, Nov. 26,—Assistant
Attcmey4General Carter will appear in
the Supreme Court to-morrow and ask
that the stay of execution in the case
of-Blanche Lamont's murderer, Dur-
cant, be vacated. If this motion is
granted, Durrant will be taken before
Judge Bohrs on Monday and again
sentenced to death. Fifteen days will
be allowed to the murderer before he
is hanged. , . - ,

It is..p.r_obable that he will die‘before
tan. 1, as his attorneys have exhausted
very resource to save him. '

THANKSGIVING IN WASHINGTON.

How the President and Cabinet
Spent the. Day at the Capital.

Washington, Nov. 26.—-Thanksgiving
Day was generally observed in Wash-
ington. The Federal departments, as
well as District ofl‘ices, public schools
and banks were closed. Many of the
leading business houses suspended
business for the entire day, while those
that remained open during the morning
hours generally closed at noon.

The day at the White House was
spent quietly. The President and his
aousehold were free from the affairs of
official life, as the‘mansion was strictly
closed to all except social visitors.
President McKinley, accompanied by
Mrs. McKinley, their niece, Miss Bar-
ber, ‘and Mrs. Smith, daughter of ex—
President Hayes, attended church in
the morning.“

As stated the other day, the Cabinet
circle generally observed the day in
Washington, the only member who was
out of town being Seeretary Long and
family, who took a delightful trip down
the Potomac. The Secretary of the
Navy has not opened a regular estab-
lishment in Washington, having a flat
at the Portland House.

Secretary Bliss rather unexpectedly
came to Washington from New York,
accompanied by his family, arriving
here Wednesday night.

Secretary Gage, who went to New
York to attend the Chamber ..of Com-
merce banquet, returned early yester-
ial morning and spent the day with his
family.

In the afternoon there were numer-
ous football games, the sport being
still in vogue here Thanksgiving Day,
although it has generally been super-
seded in many Northern cities as a.
Thanksgiving Day feature. The games
were well attended.

The weather in Washington was
:loudy and quite cold, but it did not in-
:erfere with the many concerts and en-
tertainments and family gatherings
which had been arranged for Thanks-
giving night.

DREYFUS IS ALL THE TALK.

France Greatly Interested in the
Mysterious Affair.

Paris, Nov. 26.—-The Dreyfus affair
:ontinues to furnish a fruitful topic of
:onversation. It is asserted by friends
if Count Esterhazy, who, it is said in
some quarters, is himself guilty of sell-
ing the French military secrets to a
foreign government, for which crime
Capt. Dreyfus is now serving a life
sentence, that ,he became entangled
with the Dreyfus family through his
efforts to learn who the guilty person
really was. He employed Sir George

 

Lewis, the well-known London solicitor, I

and instructed him to do his- utmost
to find out who it was who had sold
:he secret of the French defenses.

Sir George employed an American
woman to act as a detective. She went
to Paris and obtained lodgings in the
house occupied by the porter of the
German Embassy, it being said- that
Germany was the power that had pur-
3hased the secret information. The
woman was instructed to make the ac-
quaintance of the porter. and to elicit
from him all the information he had of
the case.

She learned that soon after Dreyfus

was condenmed the porter had heard .

military officers at the Embassy talk-

ing the matter over in an excited man- ,

ner. He heard such words as ‘-‘shame-
Eul” and “meanness,” and the expres-
sion, "The Emperor ought to know
that.” Count Esterhazy’s name was
mentioned by the officers, and his a1-
leged connection with‘the case was
traced from their conversation.

VIENNA’S BEAR'GARDEN.

l‘he Uproar in the Reichsrath Yes-
terday Only Noise and Epithets.
(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)

Vienna, Nov. 26.—The German opposi-
tion in the Reichsrath are stoutly dis-
:laiming responsibility for the disgrace-
ful scenes which took place in Wednes-
day night’s sitting of that body. They
maintain that the majority purposely
excited the Leftists, and declare that
the tumult in the House was prear-
ranged by the majority.

When the sitting of the Reichstag
was resumed yesterday the Deputies
found that doors had been erected clos-
ing in all approaches to the tribune.

Herr von Abrahamovicz, the Presi-
dent, took the chair to call the Cham-
ber to order, when the Leftists immedi-
ately resumed their obstructive tactics,
howling, shouting and banging upon
desks and hurling all sorts of epithets
at the presiding officer, amid cries of
”Shame!” The President tried to speak,
but Herr Wolff shouted: “Some one
else must take the chair, but not this
swindler!” The Chamber was.soon in
a furious uproar, and the sitting was
suspended until later in the day.

 

 

Runaway Bank Clerk Returns.

New York, Nov. 26.—Donald McClel-
land, clerk of the Bronx Borough Bank,
at 731 Tremont avenue, who disap-
peared on Nov. 22 with. $2,500 of the
bank’s money, was arrested in this city
last night and locked up at Police
Headquarters. He had been to Chicago
and had returned to give himself up.
He had notified the police what train
he would take, and they met it at the
station.

McClelland is about 23 years old, and
up to a few weeks ago was believed to
be a model young man. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church in
West Chester, taught a Sunday-school
class, sang in the choir, and was a
member of the Young People’s Chris-
tian Endeavor Society. In addition to
this he belonged to the Total Absti-
nence Society of St. Peter’s Episcopal
Church.

Trying to Settle the British Strike.

London, Nov. 26.-The entire time of
yesterday's sitting of the conference
between the federated employers and
the striking engineers was occupied in
discussion of the amendment submitted
by the representatives of theengineers
yesterday to the employers! resolution
defining their freedom of management
ln workshops without outside interfer-
ence. The conference had arrived at

 

"no decision upon the amendment when

the sitting adjourned.

Washington, Nov. 26. —- Minister
Hatch, of Hawaii, who has returned to
Washington after a long absence,

the differences between his Government
and that of Japan have reached a. basis

DO IT; .YOURSLF.

You can tell just as well as a. physi-
cian whether_ your kidneysI are dis
eased or healthy. The way to do‘is‘to‘
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
it with urine. If there is a. sediment,—
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing 3. day and' night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure Sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine 'stéins“
linen, there is no doubt that the kid-
neys are affected. ~ .
' Any and all diseaSes of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation of the bowels
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the best, and surest
medicine in the world for such troubles
It quickly relieves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old,
who take it are not compelled to get
up a number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine,
nothing is so good as Dr. 1 David Ken-f
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It“ corrects
the-bad efl’ects of whiskey audibeer; is
pleasant to the taste,- and does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder oft-en re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be avoided. In such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken without fur-
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar‘s bottle
at. all drug stores. It is' well Worth
many times its price.

nedy’s Favorite Remedy before buying

er of the GAZETTE can depend upon the
