A Chorus on a Strike.

Ne,cs says that the chorus in ''Cavalleria Rus
ticana" at the Opera Comique struck for higher
wages on Saturday evening. When the men,
bers of the chorus appeared on the stage for
the opening scene they declined to sing. The
curtain was at once dropped and the members
of the chorus returned to the dressing rooms
In the meantime city guards had been stationed
at the exits to prevent their departure from the
house. The manager tried in vain to induce
the chorus to forego the increases they de-
manded, varying in amount from f48 to f672
yearly, for which they have been clamoring for
several weeks. Finally the manager was
Obliged to close the theater and to return the
ticket money to the audience. which was very

What Yale Now Thinks OF Princeton,

New Haven dispatch says: Princeton's de-
feat by the University of Pennsylvania Satur-
day need not, as was claimed BY many news-
papers today, result. in tho usual Thanksgiving
day game at New York next year being played
between Yale and the University of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is the current feeling at Yale that
Yale will not play the University Of Pennsyl-
vania at that date next year. Princeton's de-
feat is deeply regretted by Yale, but the feeling
is almost univeral here that BY it Princeton has
shown itself merely q second-rate foot ball COL
lege. A revival Of the rejected dual athletic
league with Harvard is thought Of by Yale, and
If once more proposed by Harvard It would
probably be accepted by Yale The feeling at
Yale too. tends toward the belief that the pres
ent intercollegiate Foot Ball Association has
about outlived its usefulness
