NOW FOR . FOOTBALL.
Portraits of the Captains Of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton Teams.
WARREN, McCLUNG, TRAFF0RD.
The Men who VIII Lead Their Colleges
to Victory During the Most Interesting
Season of the Game.

Foot ball Is q sport In which the general
public Is growing moro interested every
year. THIS fact Is illustrated by the
rapidity with which the game has spread
all over the country until now II Is inn
possible to find a city OF any size in which
II is not played before large crowds. II Is
no longer confined to colleges but every
athletic club OF any Importance now puts
forth an eleven each season.
There is certainly much reason for the
popularity OF foot ball. In addition to the
honesty OF the game. there Is no other
sport which seem capable OF arousing an
equal amount OF enthusiasm.
On the field the captain does not seem
to the average locker on to be any different
from the rest OF the team. II the specta-
tor happens TO be close to the field he will
zee, however, that no play is executed
without the orders OF the captain, and
that he is continually watching for a
weak point in the opposite team, and
whenever he sees 1t. directing his mems
attention to It. 1t Is not In q regular
game, however, that he Is most prominent.
for it is the result Of his work which then
comes out. This preliminary work is what
makes team.
Harvard has pinned her faith to Traf-
ford this year. The Cambridge men think
he is q tit successor TO their idol Cumnock.
Birnie. as Trafford is popularity called, has
been on the Harvard eleven for three
years. playing the difficult position OF full
back. He Is a member OF the Junior class.
and soon after the game last year when
Harvard beat Yale by the score OF IL OF 6,
he was unanimously elected captain for
1891. Such an honor rarely falls on
junior, but is generally reserved for
senior,

A Ghost Dance Over the Actions of the
Clubs Collector.
There was buShel of fun at the meeting
OF the Iroquois Club last night, and for two
hours the proceedings were decidedly racy.
a bylaw OF the club allows the collector
to charge commission of ten per cent upon
all delinquent dues which he may procure,
and it was stated by several members that
the collector, in exactiDg a commission for
dues voluntarily paid at the desk of the
financial secretary. was overstepping both
the rules of the organization and the endur-
aDce of Its memb erS.
\ committee of three was appointed to in
vestlgate the matter and recommend suita-
bic action. Two reports were submitted,
the majority report containing resoluti on
that the collector shall be compensated only
Tor delinquent money obtained by personal
solicitation, and requiring The refunding of
all commissions. aggregating about S12, ex-
acted on voluntary subscriptions. The
minority report sanctioned the old way OF
doing business.
The members seemed pretty evenly divided
on the merits of the two reports, and a long
and lively debate was maintained by G. l..
Waller, Louis Metzgar, c. j. Sullivan, E. p
E. Troy, james Flynn, l.. V. Merle and
others. Matters became SO interesting
finally that the President, j. C.. Ruddock,
called member to the chair and took a
share in the verbal scramble, which though
animated was conducted for the most part
with good nature. The majority report was
finally adopted over a mass of amendments,
whereupon the collector resigned.

Three Chinese From Ell Paso Pass

Train 20. which left Ell Paso. Tex, on the
night of the 10Th inst, had aboard three
Chinese who were destined to undergo u
most rigid examination when they arrived
at this end of their journey and to be the
subject of considerable telegraphng while
en- route.
The special agency: of the Treasury re-
ceived telegram Thursday from Govern
mept Inspector at Fl Paso to the effect that
three eontraband Chinese had left on Train
20 for San Francisco, one of whom had his
queue cut. This telegram was directed to
be given Special Agent l.. S. Irwin of the
III Paso district, who is at present in this
city. After attempts had been made at
Santa Barbara to get at the Chinese to see
whether they were contraband or not the
train arrived in this city last evening.
Special Agent Irwin and Special Govern
nlent Detective Pattison boarded it at Mar
tinez. and were soon in conversation with
the Cinnamon. They all talked English.
One proved himself merchant and another
dealer in jewelry. All were richly
dressed and had every appearance of being
well-to-do members of China's bon-ton.

more. when Special Agent Irwin came to
the conclusion they were not contraband

A MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
The Man Who Wrote the One
Signed "J0seph SchOrr."

There has been considerable mystery con-
nected with the death of Joseph Scherr.
who was drowned on the ocean beach in the
presence of his second wife some weeks
ago. After his death a first wife appeared.
and the two women had a meeting, dividing
the effects of the deceased. The chief mys-
terry attached to the case was the receipt of
a letter at 4l2 Kearny street after Schorr S
death and signed Joseph Schorr In the let
ter the writer stated that he knew of some
facts connected with Sch0rTs death and
asked for an interview.
On the strength of this letter theory was
started that Schorr had not been drowned
at all and was still among the living, par
ticularly when a bar-keeper in the place
where the letter was left stated that man
had called for an answer, which was to be
directed there, and his description tailed
with that of the dead Schorr.
Yesterday Captain Lees located the man
who had written the letter. He would make
no explanation until the officers promised
that his name would not be divulged Then
he stated that he was frequent visitor at the
pool-rooms, and there had met man who
asked him to write letter for him. He did
so, and asked what name he should sign,
and the man said Joseph Sehorr"
is that your name ?" the writer asked.
and the man laughed. Still tho name was
signed and the letter sent, The man who
would not divulge his name further stated
that he was the one who called at 4I2 Kearny
street for the answer. This explodes the
bar-keeper's suppositiOn that the caller was
Schorr.
The man stated that he known the person
who asked him to write the letter for u long
while, but pretended not to know his name,
He did not know why the letter was sent,
and claimed not to have seen him for ten
days.
The second wife of Schorr insists that she
saw Schorr sink beneath the waves and that
there is no doubt of his death.
Captain Lees will endeavOr to learn the
name of the man at whose suggestion the
letter was written and what were his inten-
tons, and why he had it signed Joseph
Schorr.
The man who wrote the letter thought he
had done nothing wrong, and said he did it
merely to accommodate a friend. Yet he
did not even know that friends name and
only knew that he hung around the pool
