Died In This City on April 18-In the
Seventy-nInth Year of Her Age
Miss Harriet s. Foster.
There are many to whom this announce
ment will bring sense of personal be-
reavement. Some will remember Miss
Foster as young lady of unusual social
gifts, attractive in person and manner,
brilliant and intelligent in conversation, a
warm friend and always welcome guest.
But there are few Of those early friends
left, and 1t is by her works that che ia best
known to this generation. Active in the
church and Sunday school, and quick to
respond to all appeals for personal effort
or contributions, all good objects had her
sympathy and aid, and many poor and suf-
fering ones remember her assistance In thei1
time of need.
But it is with the orphan asylum thai
her name is most closely identified. Fo,
president, she gave herself to that work,
good sense, executive ability and careful
management, were largely due, not only
the hearty cooperation of the board Of
| managers, but the confidence which called
forth the pecuniary aid which has put the
institution on Its present basis. And she
| gave not only strength and time, but hear
to the work. She knew the history and
the character of every child, and those who
left the asylum she followed with loving
interest, often keeping up correspondence
with them. Many of these children have
in later years called to see her and THANK
her for the good influence she had exerted
over their lives, and it was one of the
| greatest pleasures of her advancing years
| to hear of the welfare and prosperity OF
"our children" Truly che has not labored

YALR,s woNDEnrUL GAME

The Strong Brown Team Shut Ont
Carter's Brilliant Work in the Box
Eighteen Men Struck Out-The Yale
Team Puts Up an ErrorIess Came
Greater Confidence Felt In Yaless
Ability to Beat Harvard.
The most wonderful baseball game
played at Yale in years took place here
yesterday afternoon. It WAS not remark
able for its clossness, for the opposing
nine, the Brown university club, was not
in the contest from the first, but for the
brilliancy of the fielding of the Yale team
and the peerless exhibition of pitching
given by the Yale twirler, Carter, the
match was unsxcslled in the annals of the
game at Yale. In the first place there were
only three put outs in the whole game In
which Carter did not directly or indirectly
take part. The first Brown man up, Weeks,
hit to Rustin and was folded out at first.
After this, not until the last man came to
bat in the eighth inning, did Carter fail
either to catch flies, field out the batter on
ground hits or to strike out the helpless
Brunonisns. In all he struck out eighteen
men, which II is believed here is the rec
ord for game thus far this season. The
Browns barely escaped being shut out
| without hit. Not till one man was out
in the ninth did one of their number reach
first base. At that time Gillon, after two
strikes had been called, sent bounder at
Carter, who just missed stopping it.
rolled past second base and the batter wa'
safe at first. He stole second and third
but the side went out, and Brown, tn
team which Manager Selee of Boston called
the greatest college team in the country
was blanked.
The sharp work of the Yale men scenes
to take the snap out of the visitors ant
they played only poor fielding game
Steere and Weeks, however, made sone O
the most difficult plays seen here in a Ion
time. One catch Of wild throw by Week
called out the applause of the crowd 70
several minutes. Tenney distinguished hin
eelf by making fine running catch of
long foul fly.
For Yale Kedzie supported Carter
magnificent shape and Stevenson fielde
and batted clearly. Rustin's two chance
were hard ones. They were handle
sharply and accurately. The Yale run
were distributed along throughout th
game as were Browns.
The largest crowd Of the season We
present. AS a result of this afternoon
contest much greater confidence in til
ability of the nine to beat Harvard Is fe
