PLAYERS -POSITIOSs.

The game requires twenty-five men
on the field. Seven on each side are
"rushers," one is "quarter back. /" two
are half back, :" and one IS "full back. u"
The rushers face each other and toe a
line in the centre of the field. The
side which has won the toss and thereby
gains the "kick- off ordinarily en-
deavors to "dribble " the ball backward
TO the quarter back, who. if he gets the
chance, starts for his opponents goal,
but if hard pressed and "interfered "
with tries to pass it to one OF the
rushers, and in this way it is carried to
the goal. Scrimmages and close-quarter
work, fast running, and quick lodging
characterize a good game. The Captain
arranges code of signals by which he
can convey to his team the policy to be
pursued under any peculiar circum-
| stances.
The sport is scientific one, and re-
quires study and hard, vigorous work.
There are plenty OF men who would like
10 play il they could adopt the old
method OF a sudden plunge without
preliminary training, but few who are
willing to prepare for the more vigorous
work of the game by course of mod
crate exercise. The "coach" is the
autocrat, 3 in sense. of the team. and
in order to secure first class "team
play" every man must put reliance in
and obey to the letter the commands Of
his captain. Strict discipline in manner
OF living, as well as IN playing, must be
observed.
THE GAME IN PROGRESS.
Now the men, in padded suits and
bare-headed, face each other in orderly
array. "Play," says the referee, and at
once there is q seeming confusion and
chaos of arms and legs, scrimmage.
Now the quarterback has the ball and
is trying to gain the goal; but no, that is
impossible, he passes 1t TO one OF the big
rushers, and with a surge he breaks
through the line and starts down the
field-some keen-eyed opponent sees
the move and is after him, the chase IS
an exciting one, every nerve is at ten
sion. when 10, our rusher Is tackled, ="
and down with crash goes all three
the two men and the ball. This scene
is only oneof limitless strategems and
lodges The "N," " end.rnnning,
ETC., at Hbitum.
Enthusiasm runs high and the victors
are as proud of their conquest as were
the knights Of old. Haudshakes and
hearty congratulations follow and each
individual member of the winning team
is the recipient of smiles from the fair
and praise from the brave.
Vive la foot ball. HORACE L. SMITH.

New ORLEANS, October 26.-The
Picayuae's Queen City (rexas) special
says: The negro Lee Green, who MUIR
dered the family of Farmer Lowe, seven
miles west of Queen City Saturday, was ar.
rested last night near Kildare and hurried
to Jail at Linden. A crowd appeared al
the Jail at o'clock this morning and de-
manded the keys from the Sheriff's wife,
who was ordered to deliver them. The
determined men who composed the
party took Green from the jail and lock-
ed the door and delivered the KEYS back
to the Sheriffs wife. The Sheriff was
absent with o posse hunting the negro.
They took him to the scene of the
tragedy and turned him over to the hus-
band of the murdered woman, who OBJ
tanned full confession from him. All
day long men from the adjoining coun-
ties as well as from all parts of this
county continued to arrive at Mr. loves
furm. AT 2:30 o'clock q trace-chain was
placed about Green's neck and fastened
TO tree so as TO hold him in standing
position. At this stage Of the proceed
ings forty-six negro men piled fagots
high up around him and an old negress
touched a match TO it, and in a few
minutes his soul had passed unto eterni-
ty, only fifty-six hours after his victims.

6RuGBYD FOOTBALL,
How the Kickers should Handle the Lea
thar and What Constitutes Good PLAY.

How the Kicters should Handle the Lea
As baseball is the national game Of
America, so football ranks first with
the Englishman. There is much to be
said in favor of each rs sport, but
there can be no doubt that properly
played game OF football is, IN sense,
the more attractive.
The constantly changing scene. the in
tense earnestness of each individual
player, and the concerted action Of each
team form material calculated TO interest
both player and spectator from start to
flush. Foot ball is in its infancy in this
country, and of late years has been
played mostly by college teams, but
now, since most Of the Objectionable
features have been eradicated. athletic
clubs and Young Mems Christian Asso-
CITATIONS ell over the country are fostering
the sport.
The qualities demanded in the make
up" Of good player are of such a
nature that II appeals 10 the best types
Of young manhood. A strong, vigorous
body. quick and active; courage and
determination, equable temperament,
concentration OF thought, nicely OF cal
culation, strict obedience 10 orders, and
many other traits are required and de-
veloped in the game.

The apprehension Of many people in
regard to the ronghness OF the " Rugby
game are no doubt well grounded, or at
least were well grounded few wears AGO

BANKRUPTCY AT HAND,

American flour, which was imported at
great expense, sold few months ago for
over thirty dollars per sack, and now it
cannot be sold here for five dollars q
sack. American hay, which was i'm
ported at an expense of seventy dollars
ton, is now replaced by Chilean hay,
which sells at from SIX to eight dollars a
ton. There are some cargoes still on the
way from foreign countries, and some
merchants here have been forced to
cable the consignors asking upon what
terms they will take back the goods now
in stock.

A STATE OF THINGS.

Commercial affairs in Iquique and in
all other pats OF the northern section of
Chile are in peculiar condition at the
present time. During the revolution
the ports in the south OF Chile were
closed against those in the north and no
produce of any kind was received here
from the south. Consequently large
cargoes, principally of flour and hay,
were imported here from San Francisco
and other foreign ports. More of these
articles were received here than could
be consumed at the time and the mer-
chants Of Iquique, Antofagasta, and
other northern ports now have large
stocks on hand OF which they are una
BILE to dispose. In the last few weeks
homo products have been coming in
from the southern ports and have found
a ready sale owing to their cheapness,
and the merchants here will doubtless
suffer heavy losses on their imported
stocks.

GLoBIoUsLY AVENGED.
The first time we hear of the Franco
Irish soldiers on noted field is at the
battle of Landau, fought between William
III. and the French Marshal Duke de
Luxembourg on July IL, 1893. King VIII
liam was interior III numbers, but had the
advantage III position. According TO the
phraseology of that day, he mustered IS
battallons, 100 sQuadrons. and 90 guns. the
French having one fourth or third more
than his forces. According to the French
chronicles, the Irish regiments that day
gloriously avenged the aflront OF the Boyne
and of Limerick" In the hottest of the
struggle the Duke OF Berwick, who had
pushed into the centre OF the enemy's line.
was overpowered and captured, and Sars-
wounded that he died few days after
wards. The Irish brigade that day did
what the French call to charge "a 'Grme
b!dnche'-th that IS, with the cold steel-and
they never afterwards failed to do the same
thing if the slightest chance offered.
King William held his line obstinately
until Z. NJ. when he retreated with a
part of his forces IN good order.
King William, AS chief OF the League OF
Augsburg, was tlt ttublal VI lHO
great wars of the European Powers against
LOUIS NV, whose voraciouS ambition
threatened the safety of every kingdom
and principally on the continent. Until
this war was ended by the treaty of Rys-
wick the struggle was maintained in Ger
many, Italy, and Spain, and III this, Us in
the succeeding war OF the Spanish sue
cession, the French held their own against
the allied powers; and 1t was only the
genius of Marlborough that finally broke
Louis's prestige.
In Italy the French under Marshal Gait
nat remained inactive until the autumn OF
1893, when Marshal Catinat advanced on
MarsaglIa, where he attacked and defeated
the famous Prince Eugene or Savoy. The
Irish troops engaged were the two regi-
ments Of dismounted dragons. the regi-
ment of O'Brian. Lord Clare, the Queens
regiment of infantry. and one battalion OF
the regiment OF Limerick. The Irish regi-
ment on the left of the French line took

A Snake Story.

WAsu1NToN COURT HOUSE, o., Oct.
15.-While building kiln to dry fruit
a few days ago two boys named Wither-
spoon aad Priest, living near Mt. PIeas-
ant, Vinton County, Ohio. had very
unpleasant experience. They were get
ting out stone for their kiln, when two
large black snakes came out OF the rock
and attacked them. The boys beat q
hasty retreat, and were pursued by the
snakes, which moved with great rapid
ity. Witherspoon succeeded in making
his escape by scaling fence, bat MS
companion, Priest, was oyertaken at
TIE fence, and before he could CLIMB 1t
one of the snakes had wrapped itself
around his ankle and bound it securely
to the bottom rail. The other snake
spranp at his neck and bound it to the
TOP rail, it's powerful coil pressing with
such tension against the boys vino,
pipe and jugular that his tongue and
ewes protruded and his face turned pur-
pie. He remained in this horrible pre-
dicament while Witherspoon ran away
for assistance. Mrs. George was sum
moned, and, fastening to the spot with
an axe, she proceeded at once to lay OUT
the serpents, cutting the snake from
Priests neck and severing its BODY IN
twain. She next struck at the bottom
snake, cutting 1t in two, but also sever
ing a couple of the boys toes: Inc
snakes measured seven feet six lncneS
and eight feet six inches.
