Yale Won.
Yale again triumphed over Harvard
on Saturday, by a score of 12 to 4. The
game presented by Harvard was as gal-
lant and as stubborn as any that has
been seen ona foot ball field. From
first to last there was uncertainty and
doubt, and the fortunes of foot ball
war went back and forth through it all.
It was a surperb game for the audience,
full of open plays, frequent punts and
daring runs.
Yale deserves credit for a splendid
victory. Her team work was magnifi-
cent, her play scientific, her energy un.
flagging. The indomitable Yale spirit
was in everything that she did; the
Spirit that never says die and that has
snatched so many victories from seem-
ingly certain' defeat. The Harvard
eleven struggled splendidly to throw
off the talismanic influence that the
“Y” on a foot ball uniform always ex-
erts, and they nearly succeeded. It
was a superb victory for Yale and a
grand, manly spectacle for thousands
Of enthusiastic spectators.
O
Far Away Alaska.
When Secretary Seward purchased
the territory of Alaska most people
wondered what use the United States
would ever have for this frigid section
of Northwestern America. Now that
the Western Territories have been
narrowed down to three, which will
become States in the near future. peo
ple are beginning to ask questions
about our Alaskian purchase and won.
der what, if anything it is good for.
The seal fisheries have been the sub-
ject of international arbitration, new
treaties and various conferences, with
a view to prevent the extermination of
the fur-bearing seals, but beyond the
production of costly fur garments the
possibilities of Alaska have received
little‘consideration from the American
public. The annual report of Govern-
or Shcakley—who, by the way, is a
Pennsylvania Ex-Congressm an—throws
some light on these subjects'and is well
worth careful perusal. ‘ .
The population of Alaska do not crowd
each other much,there being only about
32,000 people of all races, colors and
conditions scattered over its 580,107
square miles of territory. But it has
some natural resources which will
eventually attract a much larger popu-
lation. .Chief among these are gOId.
lumber and fish, including cod, halibut
and salmon. The halibut supply of the
country is chiefly drawn from this
source already. The salmon canneries
of California and Oregon are rapidly
being transferred to Alaska, and it is
almostcertain to become within a few
years a chief source of food fish supply.
The exhaustion of the pineries of the
Northwest have made the lumber sup-
ply Of Alaska worth looking after, and
extensive saw mills have already been
established in the Territory.
It is evident from {these statements
that while Alaska will never be an agri-
cultural section, nor a desirable place
of residence, except to a few for health
purposes, the time is near at hand when
it will become apparent that Seward
acquired better than he knew when he
bargained for the territory. If it will
not support a large population of its
own, it will become an important fac-
tor in furnishing articles of necessity
and comfort for the rest of the country.

The Tennessee Electio‘n-
It goes without saying that elections at
the South are regularly and, systemati-
cally dishonest. The dominant party
in any election precinct, has hitherto
without let or hindrance “cooked” re-
turns to suit its purposes and no South-
ern man of integrity, attempts to deny
the outrageous fact, that elections do
not elect.
At the last election the democrats were
clearly defeated in Tennessee. It is
not questioned that on the face of the
returns received by the ,Secretary of
State, Henry Clay Evans, the fusion
Republican-Populist candidate for
Governor, received more votes than
were cast for Governor Turne, , and
that says the democratic Philadelphia
Times, should settle the next Gover-
norship.
It may be quite true’ that Governor
Turncy is one of the best executives
the State of Tennessee has ever had,
and it would have been highly credita-
ble to the State had he been re-elected
over the fusion of Republicans and
Populists, but in the general slump of
this year the fusion was successful for
the single office of Governor in that"
State, and no pretext or technicality
should be summoned to set aside the
verdict of the people. If palpable
fraud was visible on the faccof the re-
turns there might be excused for with-,-
hcllingthe certificate fromthe successful
candidate, but there is no such plausi-
ble pretext for withholding the place
from the successful candidate. '
The opp‘Ortunities for committing.
election frauds were chiefly if not
wholly, on the side of the Democrats‘
They made the election law 03135: State
and-mad'e:it'to suit'tiféir Own purposes,
and when they are defeated under their
own law administered very largely by
their own people, they must not com-
plain. There would have beef; much
more force in complaints of - irregular- '
ity or illegal voting Or returns coming
from the other side as the Reepubiican-
POpulists were comparativelypowerless
to commit wrong against the purity of
the ballot.
'It is a suspicious sign when Secretary
of State Morgan refused a copy of the
returns filed at the Capitol although
demanded by Chairman Saunders of
the Bepubiican State committee. There
should be no concealment of election re-
turns-in any State. They are public
property and should be accessible to all
parties so that fraud can be detected ;and
when the friendsof Mr. Evans areidenied
access to the returns as filed with the
Secretary of State, and prominent
Democrats are claiming the election of
the Democratic candidate, the action
of the Democratic leaders has an un-
healthy look. If they have a Demo-
cratic Legislature they might be able
to figure Evans out of his election and
to maintain it, but no party has ever
won by open violation of the popular
will, without paying the severe penalty
sooner or later, end soon at the latest.
It seems reasonable to assume that Mr.
Evans has been elected Governor Of
Tennessee, and that should give him
the ofiicezwithout question.
Stole His Watch.
Matthew Corbett of the Old Well
Cigar company lost a valuable gold
watch last week. The time-piece was
abstracted from a bureau drawer where
it had been kept for some time.‘ Sus-
picion pointed to a girl from this city
who had been employed in the house,
and on Saturday Mrs. Corbett’s moth-
er, Mrs. Powell, came up town and
accused the girl of purlOining the
watch. While the two were conversmg
a sister of the suspected girl slipped out
of the house and in a short time re-
turned with the watch and handed it
over. After receiving the timepiece
11's. Powell returned to South Nor-
walk and calling at Podmore’s store
she inquired of the proprietor if he had
ever seen a similar watch. After _a
short examination Mr. Podmore said
that the watch had been. redeemed
from him by a girl only a short time
before Mrs. Powell’s arrival. A des-
cription of the girl satisfied Mrs. Pow-
oil that her suspicions had been well
founded.

There are often parents who are kept

have and will bring during the church
services. Parents can give their little
ones into the charge of the 1:1st who

Sold Him aTurkey.
E. J. Wadhams, who now conducts
the market at 478 Main street. former:
ly Schneider’s old stand, was visited to-
day by a member of the board of
health, on the request of some other
butcher; to condemn a lot of turkeys.
The reason for the Officer’s visit was
that Wadhams was selling his turkeys
cheaper than the other butchers could
buy them, and they therefore thought
that they were not good. Mr. Wad-
hams not only convinced the Officer to
the contrary, but sold him one of the
turkeys he had come there to condemn.

A Danbury; Woman Looking for
Her Daughter.
Says Norwaik’s Colored Peliticlan
Wrote That He Had Married Her
White Daughter and Had
A Swell Wedding.
Saturday last a woman who said that
she was from Danbury called on Town
Clerk Smith and with much trepidation
and an anxious look on her face asked
if'he had at any time within three
weeks granted a marriage license to‘ a
colored man named Oswald R. Smith.
She explained that Smith had made the
acquaintance of her daughter some
weeks since while he was “campaign-
ing” in that city, and that she had
come to Norwalk with him. She fur-
ther said that she was in receipt of a
letter from Smith stating that he had
married her daughter in this city, and
“the wedding was a very swell affair.”
It is learned that she later ferreted
out the whereabouts ot her daughter
and the two returned to Danbury on an
evening train—~the latter a sadder if not
a wiser girl.
A GAZETTE reporter received an inti-
mation that the girl had been stopping
at Charles P. Addison’s house on Kel-
log street and called there this morn-
ing. Mrs. Addison admitted that the
girl had been boarding there. She
said that she came there about two
weeks ago and was :introduced by Os-
wald Smith who stated that he wished
to secure board for her until such time
as she could secure a situation. She
was very favorably impressed with the
girl, who gave her name as Emma Wil-
liams. (This was not her name.) She
remained there until last Saturday, at
which time her mother took her away.
During the girl’s stay Smith called to
see her but once. She understood that
Smith proposed marrying her and the
girl seemed agreeable to such a cere-
mony being carried out. “She went
home willingly with her mother.” said
Mrs. Addison, “and her mother’s only
objection to her daughter marrying
Smith Was her youth.” It may be well
to state that the girl is white and that
Smith is of African descent, and has a
wife and several small children. He
has not lived with his wife for some
months, and the latter are provided for
at the home Of their grand-mother. on
Spring Hill. *
Charles Addison was sure that Smith
intended only acting in the capacity of
an agent in securing the girl a place as
a domestic.
Smith is in New Haven or Hartford,
and will no doubt be surprised when
he finds that the girl 3has returned
home. He may, however, be called
upon to explain the “swell wedding”
part of the affair. - ‘ -

Horr’s OPERA HOUSE.
“In the Tenderloin, or New York
After Midnight” is the title of the most
realistic melodrama, it is claimed, that
ever saw the boards. It deals altogeth-
er with the scenes of roguery, deviltry,
rascality and dissipation which have
for years disgraced the locality in the
heart of New York called the Tender-
loin district. All the scenes are true
to the life and many of the living char-
acters in those scenes are introduced
in the play. The thrilling acts of vio-
lence and bloodshed are reproduced
with startling exactitude. The, infa-
mous green goods busrness is laid bare,
the horrors of an opium joint are ex-
posed. “In the Tenderloin” will be
produced at Hoyt’s Opera House, Fri-
day evening, Nov. 30th.

of truth as well as of sarcasm. e rs-
plied to the Danbury representative
who had exhuberantiy extolled Nor-
walk’s immense wealth and extraordin-
ary liberality and enterprise, that “he
didn’t know us.” He related the visit
of a friend to him,’ from a wide-awake
community, whom he took about our
town. From our surrounding hills he
overlooked the town and was intensely
enthused over the incomparable beau-
ties of the scenery. “Great Scott” was
his friend’s exhuberant expletive and
every new and charming picture of
topography was thus greeted. He then
desired to see the city center, the Y.
M. C. A. rooms and our Public Library
and Hospital. The latter two were
greeted with his “Great Scott i” “There
must be wealth here. for only look at
the fine residences,” said his friend.
“Yes,” replied the parson. “there is a
good deal of wealth here, but in hands
that intend to keep a griping hold on
it.” “Well, let me see your soldiers’
monument.” "Havn’t got one,” said
the parson. “Great Scott i” came forth
again with emphasis. t‘Show me then
your City Hall.” “I drew the line .on
our Town House, and took my friend
back home” continued the parson.
“Why do you remain in such a dead
and alive place,” persisted the friend.
“How can I get away?” pathetically
answered the parson. "‘ Well, what did
you ever come here for, to preach fu-
neral sermons, eh ?” persisted his criti-
cal friend.
Our Y. M. C. A. flourished and did a
noble work, under the able and saga-
cious leadership of Secretary Wilcox.

SPRINGFIELD; Miles? Novi“"26.—-Aftei-IE
' each Yale-Harvard football game for 20
yehrs now, the writers of news history
have been obliged to open the annual rec-
ord of these encounters with the now trite
statement that “Yale again defeats Har-
vard.” This, to be sure, is not literally
the fact, because Harvard has since 1875,
when the record began. wrenched two
victories from the New Haven men. But
the general trend and upshot has been
such as to prompt at last a question in the
public mind as to “what’s the use?”
And yet. though again defeated by a
score of 12 to 4, or two touchdowns and
two goals to one touchdown, ejaculations
of hopeless disgust over Harvard’s per.-
formances are not altogether fair. And
:just at that point a string of “ifs,” half a
dozen long, leap to the lips of those who
saw the game. Yale as well as HarVard
partisans. If Yale by a comparative fluke
had not put the ball behind Harvard’s goal
line for four points Within the first three
minutes“ of play, her men would not have
bad that favoring impetus to pluck and
endeavor. if within two more minutes a
Yale man had not boosted the wabbling
pigskin from his too over .Harvard’s goal
bar, the added glee of two more points
and a total of six would have been lacking
at the outset.
Had it not been that at one time when
Fairchild got the ill shaped bulb fairly be-
tween Yaie’s posts by a kick from the
field. the pesky thing bumped against the
bar and bounded back—had it not been
for this hostile fluke, than the story might
have been different. That particular kick
would have gained for Harvard, and. time
would have been economized to let in
Harvard’s last and a second too late kick
of goal from the field.
There are other ifs. but, again, what’s
the use? Only this, that Harvard, though
beaten, played good football. against
pestiferous fates that might well nigh be
seen in the air. A Yale partisan. hoarse
with blsyelling for the blues, phrased the
feeling which widely prevailed among
spectators. ”If I never before believed in
Yale luck,” said the Yale man, “I’ll be
now chucked, and chewed, too. if I don’t
believe in it after that game today. I’ll as-
sure you,” he added. “that, while Yale
had the better team, Harvard played the
better football, if anybody can understand
what I mean by that. ”
Other and technical writing that fol-
lows deals with the nice reasoning which
demonstrates how it was that the team
playing best football was beaten in the
game. There are several things about
this noble game that are foggy to the lay-
man, and this may be one of them.
Cornell Beaten.
DETROIT, Nov. 26.——For the first time
in the history of the struggles between the
cast, represented by Cornell, and the west,
represented by the University Of Michi-
gan, the eleven of the Wolverine State
won. The score was: Michigan, 12; Cor-
nell, 4.
MISSING STUDENT BE‘V.
A Rumor That He Has Been Found Not
Believed by His Parents.
CANISTEO, N. Y., Nov. 26.—A farmer
named Walter R.Davy. living seven miles
northeast of here, lately hired two young
follows to dig potatoes. They were well
dressed and unused to manual labor,
which excited curiosity as to their real
identity. _ , _ ' .
’ One of them, who gave his name as
Walter Veaie, answered so well the dos-
cription of F. G. Row, the missing Cor-
nelllan. that he was asked point blank if
'he was not that youth, the mystery of
whose disappearance has caused his par-
'ents and the Ithaca faculty so much anx-
iety. His answer was that his real name
was not Veale. The young fellow had
reviously told the farmer that he was of
cod parentage, had been off on a “toot”
and didn’t like to tell his parents the
truth about his escapade. The similarity
of the incident has given rise to rumors
that Row has been found.
Rew’s Parents Skepticalr
BUFFALO, Nov. 26.-——E. B. How. the fa-
ther of the missing Cornell student, when
seen last night, said he had not heard
anything about his son being found at
Canisteo. He was inclined to no skepti-
cal, as both he and his wife firmly believe
their boy has been foully put out of the
way.
A Marshal Assassinated.
CHETOPA, Kan, Nov. 26. —A man

and Kench West. He made the arrest, but

instantly, and then made good his escape.
He and his gang say they intend to return
shortly and clean out Fairland and
Miami.
