Tacoma Athletic team played picked eleven
OF McElroy's adherents. Some rivalry existed
arnongt the opposing players, and such painful
scenes as sometimes mar the Eastern college
sport were witnessed. Rough tackles of the
hardest sort were the orders from captains. and
Hacker himself distinguished his play in a
manner that left little doubt OF his earnesrness
in showing his team that football was business,
If they intended to play Portland or Seattle.
The Tacoma athletic team was composed of
Hacker, Anderson, Pope, Kershaw, Trevette,
Best, schreiver aud four substitutes. McElroy
had strouthers, Dudley, Evans, Anderson,
Pritchard, Sutton, with four others At first
play MrElroys men kept the ball well down on
the Athletics side, but few powerful punts
and rushes carried the lighter aggregation far
up the field, and second later Trevette scored
touchdown by a magnificent run, which
aided materially in the result.
The ball was soon in play, and rough work in
lining up was INDUCED in. bloody noses making
the combatants look moro savage than they

Athletics heavy weight soon caused the picked
eleven to quit their rushes and runs, long kicks

himself with two tumbsers, enc of which was
partly filled with sulpho-cyanide of potash.
while the other contained q weak solution OF
the tircture of chloride of iron. Both looked
exactly like water, but when poured together,
the mixture at once became OF @ dark red color.
The doctor Immediately threw it out on the

it was not real gore Another trick not less
effective was done by throwing bit of potas-

mouth one by one number of dead field mice.
There was a nest OF them in the mans stom-
ach, he said, and he had got all but one of the
mice. That one II was impoxsibe for him to Sc
cure He said this because he knew the man
was very likely to die. In fact, the latter did
die q few days afterwards, and, having sent for
the post surgeon at the last moment, he re-
quested him to cut open his corpse after death
and remove the remaining mouse, so that he
might have some peace in the next world

wAsHGNGToS CITY, Nov. l5.-tspecial An
exhibit illustrating Indian sorcery is to be made
at the Worlds fair by the bureau OF ethnology
One OF the most expert wizards in the business
is regularly employed by Uncle Sam. He has
just returned to Washington City from meet
ing OF the shamans. or mystery men, in the
Menomoni tribe, where he took part in the per
Torrance of many wonderful feats of magic.
For twenty-four consecutive hours he shook
the sacred rattle. invoked the spirits by incan-
tation, and We'd with his ow-jugglers in the
production OF miracles. He has brought back
with him quantity of the parapheraslia en-
pioyed.
This gentleman, DIR. W. J. Hoffman, is re-
garded by adopts in such matters among the
Indians as a sorcerer of remarkable ability. He
can do tricks which the copper-eolored wizards
cannot perform, and they look upou him &C
cordiugiy with a respect amounting 10 reverN
ence For years he has belonged 10 their most
exclusive mystery societies. At meetings of
these organizations the ceremonies consist
largely of miraculous dongs. some OF them
may easily be explained, while Others appear so
marvellous as TO be quite unaccountable.
For example. the sorcerer squats on the ground
at one side of the medicine lodge with q blanket
spread out in 'front.' OF him. Lying upon the
floor, on the farther side of the blanket is placed
little human figure carved out OF wood. The
wizard drums and chants until, after 3 while
stand erect and proceeds to dance rythuically
in time 10 the chsnting. Ii seems quite wonder
full but in reality the thing is doae very simply,
hv having n string fastened AZ one end 20 the
wooden image aud st the other to the big toe of
the magician, the cord passing beneath the
blanket
That seems & very pslpable iElposture: but

OF hundreds OF witnesses from one closed lodge

Hoffman, after witnessing with applause the
feats of rival soFcerers who produced snakes
from empty bags and did other remarkable
things, took his turn In the miraculous PER

act OF setting sugar FIRE with water. The

Labouchere on the Prince of Wales.

Nature has endowed the Prince of Wales
as it did Charles H., with great tact. Like
that monarch, in his relations with the
all sorts and conditions of men and women
with whom he is brought in contact, he
always says the right thing, and says it in
a hearty and CHEEKY way, as though its
utterance were a. pleasure. He presides
over charity dinners, lays foundation
stones, sits through scientific oratory.
opens bazaars, and dances at balls with
unflagging zeal. He is eclectic in his sur
roundings. A few years ago he devoted
himself greatly to American girls, as their
exotic independence and freedom from
conventionality pleased him. They have
now been put aside, and he has now de-
yeloped q curious taste for vulgar and
ostentatious parrenues Of doubtful ante
cedsnts and nondescript nationality. This
has caused heart-burnings among those
who deem that they ought by right of
birth to be his associates; but it is a matter
of absolute Indifference to others. A few
months ago he figured iii a court of law as
a haccarat player where cheating had been
suspected: and when it came out that he
himself had provided the counters with
which the game was played, he was lee
tured and PRAYED for by the ''unco guide"
although [ confess that failed 10 see the
difference between playing at baccarat and
keeping race horses. The general feeling
was that il might be wei for him so 10
arrange his amusements as TO manage to
keep out of the law courts; but his popu-
larity has not permanently suffered from
this episode.

why the Earthworm rhrives.

In this country the earthworm is per-
haps the most abundant animal of any
size; it would be difficult not to meet
with worms by digging in almost any
locality, and yet it is one of the most
prosecuted creatures that breathe. Not
only do birds hunt it increasingly, but
the gardener, armed with n watering
pot and solution of corrosive sublimate,
sIays his tens of thousands When
they seek for refuge deep down In the
soil they are pursued by moles; cent?
pedes and various insects attack them,
and in fact every ones hand is against
them. But, in spite of this general
hostility on the part of animate crea-
ton, they thrive and multiply.
The first and principal reason for this
is their great fertility; and the second
is their great power of recovery after
accidents which would rapidly termi-
nate the existence of more highly or
ganized creatures An earthworn can
lose a considerable portion of itself
without suffering, apparently, even
temporary Inconvenience, and indeed
some Of the fresh water annelids. which
are near relations OF the earthworm,
divide themselves into sew
eral pieces, each of which becomes a
new worm. -Chambers' Journal.
