The "Little Joker" to Sue for
Libel.

Libel.
From the Times.
Tits rumored that Gen. Butler, the
inevitable, is going to sue L. Lum
Smith, proprietor of the agents Herald,
of Philadelphia, Pa, for libel. Mr..
Smith recently invented, and is selling
in immense quantities, an amusing and
instructive game which he has mirthful-
ly termed aPolitical Euchre." Each
State and Territory is represented by a
card bearing ON its face the number
of the States electoral votes. The Re-
publican States are printed in black,
the Democratic States in red. The win
ming side must secure POI of the 40l
electoral votes. Blaine and Logan
are played as right and left bowers
when Republican State lblack card)
lis turned for 1.trumpsn and Cleveland
and Hendricks are similaiy played as
right and left bowers when a Democrat
icState (red card) is turned for 'tramps.' =
Gen. Butler is very appropriatiDg play
ed ais the Little JOKER and at times
makes it screamingly embarrassing for
the Blaine aud Cleveland opponents.
Mr.. Smith can easily establish the fact
that Gen. Butler is joker III politics,
and can call as witnesses both Blaine
and Cleveland.
Il. Lum Smith, 9l2 arch street, Phil
adelphia, Pa, will send pack of these
cards, postpaid, to any address, for 2s
cents.

The Democratic National Committee
has issued an address to the American
people, detailing the powerful influences
at work in behalf of the Republican
presidential ticket. The army of Office
holders, the monopolies, the contractors
aud land corporations are all contribut-
ing from their ill-gotten gains to the
Republican campaign fund, with a
view to retain their hold npon the
treasury of the government. To meet
and countcract this powerful movement
an appeal for aid is made to the peo-
of the United States who desire honest
and economic goyernmgnt, an end to
fraud and corruption and return to the
honored usages of the Republic. Con-
tributions in aid of this great cause can
be remitted by mail or otherwise to
Charles j. Canda, treasurer, at No. III
West Twenty fourth street, New York.
All those who wish to see the control
of the government restored to the DEM
ocratic party and those, too, who expect
or would like to hold Office under
Cleveland's administration have now
an opportunity to prove the sincerity
of their desire and hopes by responding
to the request of the National Demo
cratic Committee.-N. o. Chronicle.

How that resolve was carried out is we'll known to American plsy-goers. and none are the more sorry for possessing the information. When the final night came for Modjeska's farewell packed, and the actress was greeted with cheer upon cheer in every scene, and called befors the curtain innumerable times. After the performance she foura the streets from the theater to her house crowded with her countrymen, who streWeo flowers in her path. When she left the city the same scene was enacted. At the railway station large crowds had assembled and the people cried:. -''Niechzyge Modrgejewaka,
 (Viva ModjeskaD t'Pani Helena, Wracaz do Kraju,n Madame Helena, return to thy na- tive land J This was more than the beloved actress could stand, and she burst into flood of tears. As she left the station she little dreamed that 1t would be long while before she would see her country again. She was going to foreign land among strangers and among people whose language she could not speak or under stand. To the tired and worn out actress the sea voyage and subsequent rest in southern California, and the exhiIarating influence of the climate, infused new life and hopes with in her breast. She declared her intention to study English, and if she succeeded in mastering it to make her debut on the American stage: Something seemed to tell her that she would succeed, and Americans have seen how well she won the battle.

Death of Oliver Dyer-SAdaess On Gh e ! Campus.
 Yesterday afternoon the whole college WAS | ssddened by the news of the death of Oliver Dyer, ir., which owing to is bril- | liancy and popularity has produced mourning | deep and general. MT. Dyee was twenty four years old, and has proved himself one of the brightest scholars whom Yale had shel. tered in years. He entered Columbia at first but was obliged by eye troubles to leave his studies and travel. He spent some time in Europe and took long sea voyage, but failed to find his health materially improved. He entered Yale however, with '86, and in spite of his old trouble with his eyes has gained an enviable reputation both in his class and among the faculty for brilliancy and scholarship. He was awarded last June the third freshman scholarship, an honor eagerly sought after. The list of his inti- mate acquantances was not large, but by th7se who knew him best he was loved and respected as true friend. He was for some time be- fore the unfortunate accident not in good health and on the day of the games was troubled with faintness. It was from this cause, induced by excitement, that he fell, and not from the blows of his opponent, who is an especially careful hitter. In falling his head struck 8 cieat on the floor and severely jared his spine. Hemorrhage of the brain followed and in spite of the best medical aid death ensued. Though Yale has been called upon this year to mourn an unusual number of deaths, no one has produced such Wide- spread and deeply felt sense of loss ss this.
 Last evening in North Sheffield hall Gen. eral Abbott gave his annual illustrated lecture on torpedees and sea coast defensss. The lecture was heartily enjoyed by the large audience present.
 Seven prizes in all were taken by members of the university at the bench show.

An Incident of hlO6Jeska's Coming te
 Amerfca,


 The appearance in New Haven next Mon day night and for the last time, of Modjeska, whose foremost position in the histrionic world is universally conceded, is now the principal topic in our social and amusement .circies. She will give us the pleasure of seeing her as 'sRosalind," role in which she has everywhere won enviable praise As this will be her farewell appearance before her departure to Europe, the folio wing incl dent relating to her first coming to America is spropos: When Modjeska first conceived the idea of coming to America she was then playing an unprecedentedly successful en- Ragement at the Imperial theater in Warsaw. After considerable trouble she obtained a two years' leave of absence from the theater for her contract with the president of the theatre was such that he could have compelled her to remain indefinitely But her over-taxed health and strength required a change and rest and with considerable hesitation and regret the permission for two years' absence was given. It was then Modjeska's intention to come to America, of which she
