rAIRCHILD's SILVER PLAN.
To Vest Unlimited Power in the Seer,
tary OF the Treasury.

PROVIDENCE, May 13.-At dinner given
in his honor by the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club tonight, ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Fairchild. speaking on the cur
rency question, said the secretary of the
treasury should be allowed TO buy silver
bullion 70 an unlimited extent and then
issue silver certificates against it or coin
certificates, but to have q safety valve
which would stop the process when
the business of the country demon
strated that the issue of silver had
gone far enough. The maximum
of silver beyond outstanding certificates
might be held by the treasury. When
$4,000, 900 had accumulated 1t would be a
warning that the business of the country
was getting more silver than it
needed. Then let the purchase of bullion
cease until the surplus is diminished to
100000, when purchase might begin
again.

ATHLETICS.

The football games between Cornell and
Lehigh arc attracting considerable attention
IN this city from the fact that both institutions
have a large number of graduates in this
vicinity, while at present the sons OF many of
our citizens are enrolled on the rosters. Cor
nell won their first game from Lehigh last
Saturday and the town of Ithaca was given
over to the students, who made things exceed
inglv lively. They gave the defeated Lehigh
boys splendid send off, something unusual
in previous games, and the students to the
number of 200, headed by band, saw them
off on the train. Ordway, of this city, who
plays full-back for Lehigh, the hero of the
game, and the Cornellers said they never saw
his equal. The Lehigh boys felt very sore
over their defeat, as they were under the i'm
preston they would have walk k-oyer. The
Cornell boys, like their progress in rowing,
are coming to the front in football and may
yet be able to make Princeton, Yale, and
Harvard lower their prestige.
The Georgetown College boys are endeav-
ing to get the Cornell team to come here for
game.
The question as to who will succeed as secre-
tary OF the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen s still uppermost in the minds of the
club men of this city, and the consensus Of
opinion points to Mr.. Oscar 7. Schmidt, the
efficient and capable secretary OF the Potomac
Athletic Club, who for ten years has filled
that position in his club. The feeling is al
most unanimous, as a more popular officer
and member does not exist in the clubs of the
District. He will secure the place if the clubs
of this city have any influence in the matter.
Mason, of the Potomacs, who is also a law
student at the Georgetown University, is TAX
ing his first lessons in football, and for a
novice is doing finely,
There have been over eighteen thousand
tickets sold for the big game between Prince
ton and Yale eforThanksgiving Day. The Mayor
| of New York has directed the inspector OF
| building to see that the grand stands are sub
| stantally erected in order to prevent col
| lapse There win be quite a large crowd
| present from Washington
Mr. Thomas, the great end of Princeton Col
lege, has arrived in town and will devote the
rest of the season to coaching the Columbia
Athletic eleven.

On next Saturday the Warren Athletic

IN MEMORIAM.

The following, in memory of Nay Gordon
June q, 1891, appeared in the Southern Church
man.
AS at closing eve, the sun passing in gorgeous
splendor beyond the vision to greet expectant
realms meath other skies, leaves in his path re-
splendent hues which lingcr in the twilight
hour SO at the close s 9f beautiful Christian
thizng love which illumined its pathway
upon earth will, at its entrance upon Immortal
which will linger in the loving memory of
those left behind to weep and mourn.
This reflection has been suggested by the re-
cent entrance into the immortal state Of the
young wife of DR.. William M. Sprigg, OF
Washington, D. c. whose beautiful Christian
life shed the fragrance of purity, refinement,
and unselfish love within large circle of
friends and relatives whose loving hearts were
glad to return her sweet and tender sympathy
with the entire wealth or their affection, and
yet would fan have given more. Nurtured
under the watchtul care and refining intiu-
ences OF a devoted Christian mother and
amidst surroundings where God and Christ
were in the home, and daily prayer went forth
from hearts of Christian faith, her character
developed into the beautiful symmetry of love-
illness, as the flower unfolds its beauty under
the genial rays of the beckoning sun, which
spiration and her conpanionship as friend
daughter, and wife spiritual delight A
| cultivated intellect added accomplishments to
rare personal charms, which in gentle and win
| ming modesty attracted without intrusion
| And voice which could thrill the soul with
notes OF sweetest melody, but forbade by frai
| health, except rarely, to delight the human
| ear, is doubtless rejoicing enraptured throngs
! in heavenly courts with sweetest song. Shall
| those who knew and loved her wish to bring
| her back to earth? Would they not be happier
| to think of her as the tender plant which, bud
ding on earth under the quickening influences
| of immortal hope, has bloomed in heaven into
the glorious and beauteous fullness OF eternal
| bliss
The king of Day. in his empyrean journey
| leaves the western sky fecked with rays which,
although grandly beautiful, pale and vanish as
twilight fees before advancing night, because
intended for earthly visions but "the path of
| the just-the Christian life-is as a shining light
which shneth more and more unto the perfect
day." attaining its radiant consummaton as at
the celestial entrance it mingles with the never
fading etfulgence which floods the heavenly
realm, where there is no twilight, no nj hit, to
| cloud immortal vision, and where the redeemed
souls of earth in heloes OF light, join the vast
throng singing, blessing, and honor, and
glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever
and ever"
Let us, then, rather seek to follow the loved
one across the bridge 'uWiXt heaven and earth.
where on the other side the weary pilgrims lay
down their burdens and rest foreYermore.

being away. They did not have as much team
wark as q lot OF small boys. The G. a. &.
also played loosely, for if they had put up
their regular game the score would have been
in the neighborhood of 100. The absence of
Captain Wells was noticeable
Burroughs of the c. A. c., is one of the
best half-backs in the District, and 1t is strange
his club does not use him more. He ia light,
it is true, but he gets over ground mighty fast
and lodges cleverly.
The High Schools started for the Episcopal
High School of Virginia yesterday, but the
driver of their coach lost his way, and they
had to abandon the game. They returned to
the city, and saw the G. A. G. and A. G. S. n.
play at Capital Park.
The kendalls defeated the High Schools of
Virginia on Thursday by score Of Sc to 0.
They were without Ely, Gallaudet, Odom, and
Taylor.
Townsend, of the c. A. c., was rather badly
hurt in the game against the Baltimore Club.
He had been downed when one Of the Balti-
moreans jumped on his leg giving it bad
twist.
On next Saturday the Georgetown College
team will play the Richmond Athletic Club on
the campus connected with the University.
The Richmond team is composed of some Of
the best players in the South, the majority
being graduates from the leading colleges Of
the North SO clever game may be looked
forward to.

BAS SEBALL.

The League magnates have been in session
all the past week in New York and they have
been founderng along endeavoring to bring
chaos out of the disorder they have unwittingly
dropped into The League has hitherto had
the call as the favorite baseball organization
of the land, but of late when compared with
the American Association they have not
reached the standard, in fact the Association
is dstancing them very rapidly in public
esteem, and now have the call. In order to
avert the disaster the League will hereafter
set aside "a portion of their grounds for twenty
five cent ball, which is practically doing away
with their fifty cent tariff. They squelched
the Chicago Club protest in regard to the
championship question, by unanimously agree
ing TO give 1t to the Bostons.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.-Esper, pitcher
of last seasons Philadelphia League Baseball
Club, to-day signed a contract with Manager
Harry Wright to play with that club next
season.
''Slver' King, the pitcher, will play with the
Brooklyns next season.
Perry Werden is not going to wear the
National Clubs uniform next season. But
who cares?
The Nationals are very anxious to secure
the services of Dave FoutZ, of the Brooklyns,
to come here and play first-base.
There is an appearance of truce as the
League has appointed a committee to meet
| one from the Association.
Viau is very desrous of playing here next
| season, but does not meet with much encour-
| agement from the management
| The National Club began last week to sign
new players for the team of 1892, and Ted
Sullivan who is doing the hunting sent in con-
tracts for three good men. The first to arrive
was Dolan, the weil-known pitcher, of
Columbus the past season, who should prove
a good man for the Nationals. The second
one to come in was Frank Sherlock, the third
baseman of the Sioux City team. Sherlock is
unquestionably one Of the best infelders In
America and Arson was eager to secure him
for the Chcagos, while the Cleveland League
team was also after him. The third was the
engagement of Billy Earle, also of the Sioux
Citys, who became quite famous as the stal
catcher of the Spalding globe trotters two
winters ago. He is great catcher and nov
that he has the use Of his throwing arm AGAR
he ought to eclipse all previous records.

Games Elsewhere.

MANHATTAN FIELD, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
crowd present here to day was not nearly as
large as it should have been considering the
Importance of the football game. There were
about 5000 persons present when the game
began, and they were mostly concentrated
behind the three-foot fence that encirced the
field. For many reasons the game was i'm
portant, but chiefly because it afforded some
Indication of the relative merits of Yale and
Princeton. The latter defeated Pennsylvania
"a to last Saturday, while Yale to-day made
score of As to Pennsylvania 0.
New YORK. Nov 1.-THE game to-day be-
tween the Crescents, of Brooklyn. aud the
