WILL STAY IN CHICAGO.
One of the Wonders of the French Ex-
hibit Donated to the Columbian Museum.


Chicago November 80. Donations of
some of the most celebrated exhibits
shown at the Worlds Fair continue to
be made to the Columbian Museum,
founded to commemorate the exposition,
by nations and individual exhibitors.
The latest gift is made by E. Gerard,
Dufraisseix & Co. of Limoges, France,
through and Jointly with their American
agents, Haviland & A blot, New York.
In letter to ex-Congressman Adams,
ex-United States Pension Commissioner
John G. Black and others, composing the
committee of acceptance of the museum,
the large porcelain table centrepiece
which was shown in s@she French section
of the Manufactures Building aud was
the chief attraction in ceramic art pro-
ducts at the Fair. The committee was
overjoyed at the gift, as it is a most
valuable art object and remarkable for
many reasons. 1t was made by Messrs.
Gerard, Dufraisseix & Co, at Limoges,
expressly for the Worlds Fair, and is
nearly six feet long ana four feet high
and wide.
1t is decorated throughout with thu
oxide colors or couleurs de four, the
discovery of e. Gerard, Dufraisseix &
Co., and shown for the FIRST time in the
magnificent centrepiece which now be-
comes the property Of the epnuseum.
The discovery of thhSe colors is the
most important recent event in the pr
gress of ceramic art. Their create st
value is in their ability to resist the in
tense heat of the porcelain furnace, which
is about 5000 degrees Fahrenheit, and
their use will completely revolutionize
the manner of decoratinS hard porcelain.

PUSHED HER INTO THE FIRE,
And Then Went On a Spree While Ais
Wife Suffered and His Cattle Starved.

New Milford, Conn.,, November 3d.
Officers today visited the farm of Michael
Hennessy at Gaylordsville. They found
Hennessy and his wife in bed, the woman
terribly burned and the man drunk. In
vestigation proved that Hennessy had
been on spree for ten days. A week
ago last Wednesday, while drunk, Hen
messy pushed his wife into the fire in the
fireplace and she received terrible burns.
He placed her in bed and continued
drinking. For eight days the suffering
woman was without care, fire or food.
Five horses and seven cows starved in
the barn. Hennessy has some means,
but is quarrelsome and has no friends
among the neighbors. The cries of the
cattle finally attracted attention. Officers
arrested Hennessy and removed his wife
to the aims house. She will undoubtedly
die as gangrene has set in. Her ante
mortem statement revealed the above
facts. Hennessy's hearing will take
place tomorrow.

THEY PLAY IT ON 'CHANGE.
The Boisterous Brokers Have Caught the
Foot Ball Craze.

Foot Ball Craze.
New York, November 30.-The annual
holiday antics had play at the Exchanges
yesterday, with results harmless and free
from general disorder until, a few min
utes before the close of business, about
twenty soft rubber balls, inflated to foot
ball size, appeared suddenly on the floor
of the Stock Exchange. This was the
signal for scrimnage worthy of the
Polo Grounds, in which the brokers
joined Justify. The balls went whirline
in all directions, banging the quotation
signs and scattering papers and inkstands
on the rostru1n.
One of the balls lifted new silk hat
from the head of William Euclid Young.

impact, sent it scudding in quarters in
which it speedily lost all its other desira-
BILE properties as headgear.
When Chairman Mitchell pounded for
order with his gavel, he had to keep
dodging the storm Of footballs that as as,
sailed him, while the high kickers on the
floor kicked their highest and shattered
the electric bulbs and their porcelain
frames in the chandelier in thegceiling in
proof of their skill. Chairman Mitchell
finally lost patience and, boldly breasting
the fusilade aimed at him, began to note
the names of brokers most actively en-
gagged. The taking of the names meant
fines varying from 81 to $25, according to
the kicker's agility and active interest in
the game

University of Pennsylvania Beaten 26 to 4
Jarvis Field.
Boston, November 30-Harvard won
the football game with the University of
Pennsylvania, at Jarvis Field, today, 2e
to 4. Pennsylvania started the game
with 10-yard gain by flying wedge.
Two short gains were made. and Penn
sylvania was forced to kick. The ball
went over the line, and was Harvard's at
the 25-yard line. Newell, the Harvard
right tackle, fell on the ball, and it was
kicked over the line, going to Pennsylva-
MIA on the 25-yard line. Pennsylvania
had to kick, and Harvard lost the ball
on downs. Newell was again on the bali
and Harvard got it to the one yard line,
when she lost it on a tumble, but soon
regained it, and after many rushes got it
over the line and kicked goal. Penn
sylvania soon scored a touchdown, but
missed goal. Harvard made Is yards
on flying wedge, and Brewer of Har-
ward carried the ball beyond the goal
line, and made clean goal.
Pennsylvania opened with wedge,
and tried the flying interference, but to
no avail. The two fullbacks sent the
ball flying up and down the field, and
then Harvard, by rushes, took the ball
to the 20-Yard line. IL was lost through
interference, but soon regained and
pushed to the 50-yard line. A tumble
by Harvard gave Pennsylvania kick,
but the Harvard backs went down the
field for touchdown, and another goal
was kicked. Harvard opened up the Sec
| ond half with 15-yard gain on wedge,
and Brewer made Is more around the
end. Rushes carried the ball to the TO-
yard line, and touchdown and goal
were made by Harvard. For some time
the ball went back and forth in the mid
die of the field. Harvard then made
long gains that carried the ball to the
five-yard line, when it was lost on downs.
Harvard, by a flying interference, carried
the ball to the three-yard line, but lost it
again on downs. The game closed with
the ball on Pennsylvania 30-yard line.
The teams lined up as follows:

BEFORE A COURT OF HONOR.
Lieutenant Davenpnrts Conduct in the
Samoan Hurricane.

Washington, November 30.-The naval
court of inquiry ordered by Secretary
Herbert to investigate the conduct of
Lieut.. R. G. Davenport at the wreck of
Of the U. S. S. Nipsic in the Samoan cy-
clone in March, 1889, met at the navy
yard at noon yesterday. The court is
composed of Capt. F. B. McNair, presi-
dent; Commander Chas. Fl. Davis and
Lieut.. Commander Richard Rush, with
First Lieut.. Chas. III. Laucheimer, ma
rine corps, as judge advocate. Lieut..
Richard Wainwright was recognized as
Lieut.. Davenport's counsel. The court
decided to sit with open doors. The first
session was confined to arranging the
order of procedure.
This is the first 'court of honor that
has ever been held in the history of the
navy. The only precedent for it is the
court that investigated the conduct of
Gen. Warren, who was suspended from
duty on the field by Gen. Sheridan.
Years after the event he applied for a
court, which investigated ali the circum-
stances. In the present instance there
has been lapse of four and half years,
and Lieut.. Davenport has in the mean
time suffered nothing but the annoyance
of being made the subject of uncompli-
mentary rumors. He claims that it was
through his endeavors that the Nipsic,
of which he was navigator. was saved
from wreck. He has also contended
that he was the only coolheaded man on
the beach after the landing, and contrib
uted to the general safety and comfort
OF the ships company by his manage
mont.
The rumors that have been circulated
have tended to cast doubt upon this
claim and have mostly been to the effect
that the lieutenant, instead of sticking
by the ship, was among the first to strip
off his clothes and swim for safety.
There has been good deal of i'll feeling
developed, but no charges have ever
been made on either side Lieut.. VAIN
wright said that it was probable there
would be some highly entertaining testi-
mony taken and ''some one may get
hurt"

The Topheavy Machias,

s Washington, November 3O.-The recent
inspection of the gunboat Machias
shows that her top-heavy condition
is more serious than was at first sup
posed. 1t is said now that the meta
centric height of the cruiser is only. three
inches, and that her stability is much
less than at first stated. 1t is believed
all of her five-inch side armor will be
removed and her battery probably
lightened to bring the ship to proper
stiffness. Tons Of cement will have to
be placed in her bottom and some of
the weights shifted to bring her meta
centre to the proper point. The efficiency
of the ship will be seriously affected.
The removal of her side armor will tend
to lessen her draft, but this will be
overcome by the cement in her bottom.
AS she has no double bottom, the usual
resort in cases of crankiness" of filing
them with water cannot be adopted in
the case of the Machias
