Radcliffe Furness. Philadelphia's repre-
sentative on the team, covers the position
of right end. He is hard player and al
ways reliable.
It had been intended in case of Warren's
inability to play to fill his place at the left
end with William Langdon Hayden a
quick and steady player, on whom much
reliance had been placed. Hayden, how
ever. broke his collar on the 9Th inst. while
at play on the Varsity grounds. thus still
further weakening the team.
Pringle Carlisle Jones. of Ohio, will, II he
returns to Princeton in time, probably play

and in the estimation of Hanson. who was
Yale's strong center last year, is one of the
strongest centers Princeton has ever had.
Behind the line all the men, excepting
Captain Poe, are new. William G.. Spicer,
of Harrisburg, Pa, the left half back, will
probably be expected to do most of the
"bucking." He is taller and heavier set
than any of the other backs and not quite
as swift runner, but when Captain Poe
needs yard or two to make the first

do it, and, depend upon it, he does do it.

LOUIS KossUrH's HARD LAST DAYS.


The Aged Patriot Obliged to Work for
Daily Bread.
Following is an extract from letter re-
ceived by lady of Plainfeld, N J., from
her friend Nine. Louise Kossuth Ruttkay,
Kossuth's sister:
what q curious history our life was!
If there were not so much of the
dramatic in it I should call it
farce de la premiere ordre. To have
lived three months among ovations be-
fitting the most illustrious person and then
return to see my poor brother, who is IS
years old, bending over his writing seven
and eight hours day to earn his daily
bread! Ny heart aches for him when /
hear him sigh and wish for rest.
II think l must have mentioned to you
in some of my letters of the failure of some
banks that involved my poor brother in
pecuniary difficulty. He had put his hard
earned modest capital in some shares that
have fallen to a nominal value. Though
not entirely lost, they may not for many
years bring a dividend, and II was
with the consciousness that want was
staring in our faces tina, went to Hungary.
Since then my brother, by writing very
hard, has finished the fourth volume OF
his memoirs, and it is now in the hands of
the publisher. Subscriptions have com.
menced, and it is to be hoped the result
will keep want from our door.
"Is it not strange that q nation so tena-
cious in its affection and homage to nv
brother does not try to find way of pro-
viding for the necessaries of his life? They
know that he has refused q pension from
Napoleon I'LL. and also from Victor
Emanuel, saving he will never accept aims.
not even from his own sons. There are in
divlduals who would gladly come to his
rescue if he would accept it, but they
never think of offering him national gift,
which, / think. he would accept Other
nations compensate citizens, who, like my
bro her, have devoted their whole lives and
genius to their country. Bismarck was a
rich man, but besides, bis country gave
him and still gives him millions. Ireland,
which, as q nation. is poorer than Hun
gary, has given Parnell hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. Italy has not only given
to Garibaldi. but is still giving to every sur
viving member of his family-they are five
in numbers lifelong pension of
10000 francs. My brother, who
refused TO accept in England the
gifts of some friends, accepted souvenir
from the working class. to which $500
workmen each gave penny. That is what
makes me think he would accept q gift in
which his nation would participate.
II sometimes wish that The foreign press
would express their opinion in regard
to the fact that the Hungarian nation
earn his daily bread with hard work. in
stead of providing in way worthy of Kos
suth, as well as the nation. for his wants."

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Interview with Assistant Postmaster
General ClarlksOn.


General Clarkson.
CHICAGO, July 26th.-In an interview
here to-day, Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson, who has just returned from a
three months tour throughout the west
and northwest, declares his belief that the
Worlds Fair will be a failure if the site is
divided. This prediction is based on con-
versations with representative men of the
Western States through which he passed.
I'VE should remember" he said, THAT
more than one-half of the productiveness
of this country is due 10 the farmers, and
without the most ample and conspicuous
place being given to agricultural interests,
it would be disastrous. One of tine greatest
attributes of a successful fair is the integ-
rity of its whole. The West is laying great
store in the FAIR. 1t is interested in its
success, recognizing that from such success
the greatest advantage to itself will accrue.
California is especially active, and in
tends to make such an exhibit as shall
challenge the admiration of all beholders
Other Western States will make earnest
efforts to keep an equal pace. but they
must not be permitted to think the agri-
cultural department is to be anything of a
side show. Yet the proposition to divide
the site has created such rumor, which has
spread over wide area, and has already in
spired subtle influence of antagonism in
the minds of many. These people fear
that with a divided site the art and me-
chanical departments will be placed on the
lake front, and agriculture showed off to
Jockson Park. They think the visitors,
after wandering through the lake front
exhibit. will not look with much favor on
the idea of going several miles to what
will be called an agricultural side show,
and if that is to be the case they want to
know why they should put themselves to
trouble in making exhibits"
Measures should be taken, said Mr..
Clarkson, to prevent such an idea gaining
strength. He said he believed in saying
what he had that he echoed the opinion of
the great but unappreciated West.

WHAT A DEEP-sEA DIVER SEES.
Wonderful Submarine Sights Along the
Florida Coast.

Florida Coast.
From ST. Nicholas.
"These seas are famous for the fishes,
and many were beauties, being striped
with green, yellow, blue and red. Others
had long streamers, and looked like the
harlequins and columbines in pantomimes.
| noticed that there was the greatest differ
ence between them in their habits. Some
were shy, and darted away at the slightest
motion, whilst others seemed to think me
huge fish, and came near me, as if curious
to see what / was like. Some swan over
my arms and let me move my hands to-
wards them. But most were shy.
"As to the stories of sharks, they are in
the main not true. / have had shark
come within FIVE feet of me, and when l
raised my arm it darted off in such a
hurry that the boiling of the water nearly
threw me off my feet. Of course, there
may be cases where very large shark
might attack diver, but if he should at
tack one wearing the modern divers he'll
met or armor / think the shark would
have hard time of it-copper and glass
would not make very good mouthful,"
said the diver, laughing.
"a friend of mine had funny expert
ence. He was walking on sandy bottom.
when suddenly he was lifted upward, then
thrown backward, and but for his pike
would have fallen. For few seconds the
water was not clear. Then he saw that the
cause of his upset was big skate that had
been lying partly buried in the sand
asleep, perhaps. He had stepped with his
leaden shoes right on its back.
among the strange things that may be
seen by divers is the ocean forest off the
eastern coast The sandy bottom there is
covered with the hardened roots of great
trees, and IN some instances parts of trunks
are standing, showing that the coast there
must have settled, and that the sea has
rolled in over the land
Sometimes we go down at night, and
then the scene under water is often beau
tiful sight. Every jelly-fsh and living
creature seems to be ablaze with light,
your rope appears to be on fire, and every
motion makes the water glimmer. The
crabs and fishes sparkle, many with light
of their own. So, you see, instead of being
dark and barren place, as the majority
of people seem TO regard it, the ocean even
at the greatest depths, is probably made
bright by the very animals that most need
the light

THE TWIN CITIES.
A Recount Ordered by the Secretary of
the Interior,

Recount Ordered by the Secretary of
the Interior.
WASHINGTON, July 26lh-The Secretary
of the Interior TO day ordered recount of
the population of the cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
Prior 10 issuing this order the Secretary
had received from Superintendent of Cen
sus Porter letter detailing the trouble re-
garding the count of the twin cities, and an
investigation was made by his bureau.
In i, he says in part: The evidence be-
fore me may be summarized as follows: In
all probability there exists in Minneapolis
widespread, organized conspiracy for IN
tiating the census of that city. This con-
spiracy was only partially carried through,
owing to its early discovery. To what ex-
tent, however, the schedules are fraudulent
can be at present only matter
of conjecture. These fraudulent schedules
take all manner of forms. Families have
been swollen to an immense size by the
addition of children and boarders. The
capacities of existing houses have been
taxed far beyond their limits by the addi-
ton of families, and houses, with their
contents. have been invented by hundreds.
In addition to these palpable frauds, the
transients and mealers have been enume-
rated at the hotels and boarding houses,
and the employees have been enumerated
at their shops, as well as their houses. in
large numbers.
I'm st. Paul there has been discovered
no evidence of an organized conspiracy, but
numerous cases of illegal additions to the
schedules have been found. The adoi-
tions are similar in character to those dis
covered in Minneapolis, but are not by any
means as widespread or extensive.
''In view of this condition of things, it
seems impossible to be assured of correct
census of these two cities without making
a recount throughout"
Superintendent Porter says that no proof
whatever has been presented that the Su-
pelvisors of st. Paul or Minneapolis were
parties to the frauds.
James II. Wardle, Assistant Chief Clerk
of the Census Bureau, will have charge of
the work at st. Paul, and F. w. Kruz,
special agent, at Minneapolis.

A FRESNO TRAGEDY.

John d. Fiske Instantly Killed by J. L.
StiIlman.
FRESNO, July 26th.--John D. Fiske, the
lawyer and opera house manager of this
city, who has been prominently before the
public for the past two or three years, was
shot down and instantly killed tonight by
Joseph L. Stillman. the inventor. Stillmau
had been hunting for FIske all day, and
found him at half past o'clock this even
ing in front of the Grand Central Hotel, on
Mariposa street. Several blows were struck,
and both men worked toward the middle
of the street. Fiske then turned and ran
up Mariposa toward street, followed by
Stillman, who had revolver in his hand,
and about ten feet in the rear. When they
were in front of Burk & Monroes drug
store Stillman fired shot into
Fiske's back. They still continued run
ming, and when half way across
street a second shot was fred, followed
by third at close quarters, just as the
wounded man was falling forward on his
face.
Stillinan, with the revolver in his hand,
ran around the PROSTATE body and walked
rapidly across Mariposa street in the direc-
ton of the Fresno Loan and Savings Bank.
When he reached the middle of the street
his right arm was seized by an officer.
Stillman struggled violently in the grasp
of several men, who ran to the assistance
of the officer. The prisoner was hurried to
Jail, followed by tremendous crowd.
Fiske was taken into a drugstore with
the blood streaming from his lips. He
was gasping for breath. and as soon as he
was laid on the floor he died.
