— ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

Hot Game at New Ha'ven—Tigcrs'
Big Score.

New Haven, Ct., Oct. 21.—-Yale and

Brown University met on the football
field yesterday. Brown was short her
captain and Halfback Fultz, and Yale
lacked Abbott, Hine and Ely, who are
laid up. Over 2,000 people saw 'the
game, which was the liveliest played
here this year. ‘
‘ The game was remarkable because of
the heavy men Yale put into the play.
It was the heaviest eleven Yale has
played in years, several of the men
weighing over 200, and a. number aver-
aging 185.

Yale kicked off, but within ten min—
utes Brown scored a touchdown; no
goal. Brown, 4; Yale, 0

Five minutes later Yale scored a
touchdown and Cadwalader kicked
goal. Brown, 4; Yale, 6.

The half ended with the ball in the
centre of the field. Yale, exhausted by
the effort of scoring, was unable to
keep the ball long, and Brown finished
the stronger.

Yale, 6; Brown, 4.

The final score was Yale, 18; Brown,
14.

~ Tlgers’ Weak Rivals.

~ Princeton, N. J., Oct. 21,—The Prince-
ton- Franklin and Marshall game yes-
terday afternoon was played in a dis-
agreeable rain. The Princeton line
greatly outweighed, the visitors.

The first half ended‘with the ball
n‘ear Franklin and Marshall’s goal.
Princeton, 32; Franklin and Marshall, 0.

The final score was Princeton, 54;
Franklin and Marshall, 0.

Lehigh vs. Dickinson.

Bethlehem, Pa., Oct. 21.—It was typi-
cal football weather and a big crowd
was in attendance at yesterday after-
noon’s Lehigh-Dickinson game.

Fumbling characterized the playing
of the first half, with honors even,
neither side scoring. Dickinson had
wind in her favor, but all trys at goals
from the field failed. The play was
hard and fast.

U. of P.—Pennsylvania State.

Philadelphia, Oct. ‘21.—The University
of Pennsylvania football team met the
State College yesterday afternoon.

The score at the end of the first half
was Pennsylvania, 16; State, 0.

CHAINLESS BICYCLE.

New Style of \Vheels Put on Sale
’l‘o-day.

New York, Oct. 21.-—The long-expect—
ed chainless bicycle, which, it is ex—
pected, will be all the rage in ’98, was
put on the market today. A bicycle
manufacturing concern placed them on
sale simultaneously at its branches
throughout the country. Thousands of
the wheels are said to be ready for de-
livery. The matter has been kept very
quiet by the firm manufacturing the
wheels. The price of the new wheel is
$125.

Here are some of the points of su-

-periority which the firm asserts that
the new wheel has over a chain-driven
wheel: The manufacturers say that it
is much easier to keep clean than the
old wheel. Every motion is positive—
no back lash. It has no links or teeth
to “catch things." The makers declare
that it will go faster and further with
less effort than the old wheel.

In regard to the matter of speed,.the
thing above all others considered by
those of scorching proclivities, it -is
pointed out that a chainless wheel se-
cured the twenty-four-hour record on
the continent of Europe, and that in
August another chainless wheel won a
hill-climbing contest in England.

The new machine is handsome and
simple in construction. It weighs no
more than twenty-four pounds, and ap-
pears to balance more perfectly than'
the chain wheels and to run for a long-
er time after a single turn of the pedal
crank.

AGED COUPLE SEPARATE.

Wife of 93 and Husband of 86 Find
Marriage a Failure.

West Chester, Pa., Oct. 21.—After an
experience of three years, one of the
oldest couples in Chester County yes-
terday morning came to the conclusion
that marriage in their case was a fail-
ure and attached their signatures to a
mutual agreement of separation.

This venerable couple is Catherine
McLane, aged 93 years, and David, her
husband, aged 86. When the former
began a prosecution on a charge of
hon-support, David met her with a
summonsin a divorce suit, and de-
clared his intention of obtaining a legal
separation.

Upon being paid a liberal sum of
money in cash, Mrs. McLane withdrew
the charge of desertion and David
withdrew the divorce suit, but an
agreement was signed that they should
henceforth live apart.

Costly Jersey Kisses.

Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 21.—This city
has learned the legal price of kisses.
Miss Joana Murphy, of Summit, has
received a verdict for $5,000 against
Philip Tumulty,'former Assemblyman
of Jersey City, for sundry osculations
and a promise to marry her.

Miss Murphy's two sisters and a
brother testified to the kisses and Mr.
Tumulty's statement that he intended
to make her his wife.

Elizabeth does not know how many
kisses Tumulty got for his $5,000, but
evidently they were many, as Miss
Murphy sued for $10,000 damages.

Silver Leader “forking Hard.

Omaha, Oct. 21 —VVilliam J. Bryan
has begun the campaign in earnest in
this State, and will make two speeches
daily from now until election.

Mr. Bryan estimates that the State
will repudiate the Democratic opposi-
tion by 30,000 votes, an increase of 10,000
over last year.

“We have not lost a single man,” de-
clared Bryan, “and we have gained a
large number from the opposition.”

John G. Carlisle will be in the State
next week to help the cause of the gold
Democrats.

 

Baseball Men to Meet.

Chicago, Oct. 21.——Western League of-
ficials will meet at the Great Northern
to-day and wind up the business of the
League of 1897. Incidentally they will
discuss the subject of drafting players,
make suggestions to the committee
which will present this matter‘ before
the National League in Philadelphia
next month, and select a. place for the
Spring meeting. Kansas City will be
chosen, so says President Johnson.

GOLD STANDARDTN l-IAYTI.

A Plan for the Partial Retirement 0]
.Other Currency.

Washington, D. 0., Oct. 21.—A com-
munication from the State Department
to the Treasury Department, received
there yesterday, contains the draft of
a law. proposed by President Tiresias
Augustus Simon Sam, of Hayti, and
enacted by the Legislature thereof, for
the establishment of the gold standard
in that cbuntry and the partial retire-
ment of other currency, signed on the
1st inst. The law was proposed by the
President, under the provisions of the
Constitution of Hayti, conferring on
him the right to initiate legislation.

The leading provisions are for a loan
of $2, 800, 000 of United States gold at
par, not to exceed 12 per cent. per an-
num, the proceeds to be applied to the
withdrawal of paper money now in cir-
culation at the rate ‘of 50 per cent. a
year; establishing a surtax of 25 per
cent. on all importations, of which 15
per cent. shall be payable in American
gold and -10 per cent. in silver, which
shall be withdrawn from circulation as
received and demonetized; from the
commencement of the withdrawal of
the bills American gold coins shall be
the legal tender in the republic, and all
customs duesand other State revenues
shall be collected in that money or in
bills with a premium of 50 per cent.,
with the exception of the 10 per cent.
income tax to be collected in silver.

 

ROOSEVELT ON NAVAL NEEDS.

We Need a Larger Naval Force for
the Sake of Protection.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 21.——Theodore
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, was asked yesterday if he
thought our navy was large enough for
a country the size of this country.

“There is room for great improve—
ment,” answered Mr. Roosevelt. “Eng-
land, France, Russia and Italy are
ahead of us as ,naval powers, and we
are about on a par with Germany. We
have thousands of miles of coast on
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and
tremendous interests to protect. The
United States Navy ought to be much
larger in order' to successfully cope
with what circumstances might come
up in the future.”

“Ought this country to have the first
navy in the world?” was asked.

“I will not say that,” answered Mr.
Roosevelt, “but I insist that the United
States ought to have a much larger
force of vessels for the sake of protec-
tion.”

The Rockefeller Assessments.

Tarrytown, N. Y., Oct. 21.—The case
of John D. and William Rockefeller
came up before the Assessors of the
town of Mount Pleasant yesterday.
W'illiam Rockefeller testified in his own
behalf. He is assessed at $2, 500, 000. Mr.
Rockefeller said he had a legal resi-
dence in New York. He paid $150, 000
for his property in Mount, Pleasant.
The land had not been improved much,
but he had built a new mansion and
stable. The mason and carpenter work
on his residence cost, he said, $105, 000.
He said he employed about one hundred
men all the time to keep his place in
condition. He was not asked at what
figure he valued his place or if he had
received an offer of $350,000 for it.

 

McKinley’s Message to Congress.

Washington, D. ‘C., Oct. 21.—Presi—
dent McKinley has not yet begun the
preparation of his annual message to
Congress, and it is stated at the White
House that he will not begin his report
until after his return from the Ohio
election. Up to the present time he has
given but little thought, apparently, to
the preparation of the document, but
has been at work gathering statistiés
from the different departments of the
Governmentpupon which his message
will be based. It is said at the White
House that the President will begin the
actual writing of the document, which
is eagerly awaited in political circles,
shortly after his return from Canton.

 

Great Britain'ls Arming.

London, Oct. 21.—The Government
has dispatched a former Under Secre—
tary of State for War, Sir Ralph Wood
Thompson, to Australia, with instruc-
tions to report to the War Office upon
the condition of the defenses of the
Australasian colonies, to urge an in-
crease in the colonial forces and to
submit proposals for arming the local
troops and exchanging battalions from
Australia with those of the mother-
land.

The India Council and the War Of-
fice are considering important meas-
ures involving the addition of one—third
to the strength of the Indian army.

Kentucky and Tennessee Tragedies.

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21.—Four kill-
ings were reported from various parts
of the State yesterday, although two
took place over the Tennessee border.
Arch Kingley, the first victim, was
shot down in Leslie County by William
Moore because, as he was accused, he
had whipped Moore's child. George
Kennedy was stabbed fatally near
Berea by Hiram Hurst, dying a few
hours later. Will Epperson and Charles
Brewer engaged in a fight over politics
in Hancock County, Tenn., just across
the line from Middlesborough. Epper-
son was almost instantly killed in the
melee and Brewer injured dangerously.

McKinley “'11! Keep Hands 01!.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 21.——-New
York Republicans are still endeavoring
to get President McKinley to write a.
letter or to say something to indicate
his preference for Gen. Tracy in the
present contest. It is not believed that
the President will care to mix himself
up in New York politics, despite pre-
dictions which are being made to the
contrary. He is more likely to follow
the example of Hon. Thomas B. Reed
and keep himself out of dangerous en-
tanglements.

Senator McPherson’s Will.

~ New York, Oct. 21.-—Senator John R.
McPherson’s ’will was filed for probate
in Surrogate Lillis’ office yesterday.
The testator leaves his entire estate,
real and personal, to his wife, Ella R.
McPherson. The late Senator’s son
died since the will was made, and a.
daughter is the only surviving child.

The value of the estate will not be,

made know 11. .

San Francisco, Oct. 21.—Gov. Budd
