THE are FOOTBALL GAMES.
~ Yale Defeats Princeton and Penn.
- ”Sylvan“? Conquers Harvard.
New Haven, Nov. ill—Princeton Wen’i
down before Yale Saturday afternoon
in one of the grandest struggles ever
seen on a gridiron. The score of 6 to t
tells of a. victory for the Blue as fair as
it was complete and as brilliant as it
was surprising. Except in kicking,
Yale’s stalwart men outplayed the
Tigers in‘every department .of. the
game. ‘
Certainly more than two-thirds of the
18,000 spectators, that gathered about
the arena expected to see Yale de‘
feated. The Princeton men ‘were sure
of it. and the most hopeful Yale en-
thusiasts dared only to express confi~
dence that the wearers of the blue
' would acquit themselves creditabiy and
hold the Princeton score down.
But the-football generals had reck-
oned without their host. The game 01
,a. week ago apparently was but excel-
lent training for the Eiis; they had
been improving every day since, and
that uncertainty which makes the
sport attractive was demonstrated
when the eleven young athletes wear-
ing the proud blue. inexperienced in
great battles, higher in weight and
lacking the confidence, met their op-
ponents at every point and humbled
them in the dust.
The injuries of the Princeton mer.
dor btless had much to do with their
defeat. If they had been in perfect
shape the teams would probably have
piayed each other to a. standstill.
Quakers Conquer, Harvard.
Philadelphia, Nov. 22.——Pennsy1vania
now claims the college football cham-
pionship of America. Saturday after-
noon on Franklin Field, before more
than twenty-five thousand persons,
they defeated Harvard by a score of 1'.’
to 6. They base their claim on the fact
that Yale could not score against
Harvard, while they ran up a total 01
1‘5 points, and, as Yale tallied 6 points
against Princeton on Saturday, they
argue that they arell points better
than Yale and 21 better than Princeton,
The victory was honestly won and
well deserved. No fluke decided it.
From the start both teams played fine
football, and kept it up without inter-
mission until the end. Both teams had
been taught the most advanced princi-
ples of the game, and had been sub-
jected to the strictest training regime
to insure perfect physical condition,
and it is doubtful whether twenty—two
finer specimens of American manhood
ever faced each other in an athletic
contest in this country.
To Pennsylvania the result was
fraught with the greatest importance.
A defeat by Harvard meant a position
below that institution and Yale in the
college athletic world, while a. victory
stamped them the championship foot-
ball team of 1897. It was with this feel-
ing that the sons of Old Penn entered
the game, and it was also with this
feeling that they played one of the
grandest games ever witnessed in. this
city. They met a foe worthy of their
steel, who was not vanquished until the
referee blew his whistle at the end 01
the second half as a. cessation of hos-
tilities.
After the game the Pennsylvania
men were carried off the field on the
shoulders of their enthusiastic fellow
students amid a cyclonic burst oi
cheering, while the Harvard men quiet-
ly found their way out by a side en-
trance, almost unnoticed, there to en-
ter a ’bus and be driven to their hotel,
with defeat a. grim companion. Thus
ended Harvard’s football season of
1897. '

New Orleans, La., No‘v. 22.—-Missis-

quarantine two days ago, but all pas-
sengers going west over the Southerr
Pacific, as well as Health Officer Du-
.perrier; were put off the train at‘ the
Calcasieu line by the quarantine
guards. This has resulted in a big row
and showed that the Board of Healtl

Four Killed in 11 Fight.
New Orleans. La... Nev. 22.—“A four-
handed shooting affray occurred yes-
terday at Bayou Lacombe, in Tam-
many Parish, in which all the parties
were killed. Bayou Lacombe is a set-
tlement in St. Tammany Parish on
. Lake Pontchartrain. and about twenty
miles east of Covington, the parish
seat of justice. The population is com-
posed'mainly of persons of French
origin who farm or hunt for a'living,
and are usually quiet and peaceable.
Details of the shooting are not at
hand, for Bayou Lacombe is consider-
ably cut of the line of ordinary travel
and hard to reaCh. The Coroner has
been notified, and has left for the scene
ofthe fight. ' -
Big Fire in Paris.
Paris, Nov. 22.——A destructive fire
started Saturday afternoon in a shop
in the Rue des Pyrenees. in the north-
east section of the city. The Iia:;.e.<+
spread rapidly, and before the fire was
got under control a. large number or
small. houses and workshops were de-
stroyed. The burned district covers an
area of about two acres. The loss is
placed at 400,000 francs ($80,000).
After a six-hours battle with the fire
the members of the fire brigade were
utterly exhausted and were relieved by
a force of 250 soldiers, who had been
ordered'to the scene of the confiagra-
tion. .

The remarkable cures accomplished

months are something to astonish and .

a prominent. druggist lately said: ‘fBe-

article of faith in the Nor-walks, be-
cause pe‘c’iple know for themselves, with:
out. regard to what any interested par-
ties say, of cures it has wrought. among
their friends and neighbors. ”
Why ! People have suffered for years
{and never dreamed they could get any
relief by using anything and some day
a- friend says: “California Catarrh
Cure cured me, it will cure. you. and
you won’t. have to wait to find out about -
it either. It relieves at once.”
Here are the words of one of our
neighbors now, telling why she believes
in in. You know that it is true'because
you know her.
Mrs. John Lycett, 2-1 High street,
N orwalk, says: “My daughter, Violet,
has been troubled since childhood with
catarrh, until her whole head seemed
more or less diseased. She had be-
gun to be a little deaf, and suffered
much with severe [headaches so that
we have had to keep her out. of
school a good deal. .I sent her to
Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk
after a. bottle of California Catarrh
Cure and she commenced using it. Its
beneficial effects have been simply
wonderful. It has helped her from the
first- in every way. I have not. heard
her complain of a headache for a long
time. and by the time she had finished
her first bottle, I feel confident. that.
she will be cured.”

CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE.

Try to Preserve Order.
Canadian mounted police are pro-
tecting the property of Americans in
the Klondyke region. The force along
the Yukon has become the court for
the hearing of grievances and the pow-
er to enforce its own decrees after the
cases have been heard. A few weeks
ago a lot of miners got into a quarrel
over a claim. The mine had been left
in charge of a substitute while the
owners made a trip back to civiliza~
tion. A crowd marched upon the sub-
stitute and drove him from the field;
He hastened to the post of the mount«
ed police and told his story. The claim
was at least thirty miles inside the
American line, but the soldiers made

the journey and demanded the con
testants appear before them with their
cases. The substitute won. A detail
from the post remained to see that the
contestants abided by the decision of
the militarycourt. There is no other
recognized authority inthe valley but
that of the soldiers, and they have ap-
parently ruled with justice. The
mounted police, which . patrols the
great northwest .territory, numbers
about 1,000 men. It is a. semi-military
organization. The men are all pro-
vided with two— sets 'of uniforms, the
'fur garments for the terrible winters,
and showy English uniforms for the
summer. It appears that the soldiers
have undisputed authority in the
Klondyke, and their decisions are the
law. The dispatch says they are fre-
quently called into service in territory
which is clearly American. They have
been the only check to lawlessness in
the. region.
