Three Contests, Two In This City, When
wilmington Teams Gained in n Hard
Tussle--Games Elsewhere.
Two excellent football games were
played here Saturday last, both of which
evidenced decided Improvement in the
style and ability of Wilmington pigskin
devotees.
The match between the Warren team
and that of Delaware College was
fought with persistent determination
throughout, and although it closed with
the laurels in the hands of the Warren
Club, the fine play of their opponents
deserves the highest commentator.
Still the fact remains that the finer
the play of the vanquished-the brighter
are the laurels of the victors. 1t should
be remembered also that in this case
Warren takes the palm from its old
rivals of Delaware College.
The score was , to 0. 1t would be
difficult to single out any of the players
who did it specially better than his
neighbor. AS stated the contest was
most creditable throughout among
both teams. The spectators were highly
pleased with what they witnessed

And Then Stopped without Aooident--
Lively Experience In Worlds Fair
Elevator.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Thirteen visitors
to the Fair fell in an elevator 200 feet
from the landing, under the greatroof
of the Manufacturers Building, at $40
o'clock last night. Their lives were
saved by the brakes on the car, which
caught and held it 30 feet from the floor.
Elevator man Ben Sharp had just
started from the landing way, 80 feet
from the roof, with car crowded with
passengers. For some reason he suddenly
lost control Of the car, and it shot down
ward at tremendous speed. The car Is
supposed to have an automatic check
which prevents it from exceeding GER
tain rate of speed. The heavy load
caused it to drop 200 feet before thcse
checks worked. There was still dis
lance Of 80 feet to the ground, and with
all the efforts Of the elevator
man the car could not be moved. The
people in the car were at first Supplied
by the sudden descent, and ii was not
until the car stopped that they realized
their danger. Over half the passengers
were women, and it was all the men in
the car could do to quiet them. A num-
Der Of Columbian guards saw the car
drop, and sent in cali to the FIRE de-
partment. Marshal O'Malley, accom-
panied by the hook and ladder truck
came to the building. A 30-foot ladder
was placed against the cage and Marshal
O'Malley and Lieutenant Ryan assisted
the passengers to descend.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word. Now to say that A IL

inc and reliable porous plasters made is
not self praise in theslightest degree. They
have stood the test for over thirty years,

THE DUNLAp-CoLEMAN MOVEMENT.
A Very Pertinent Contribution on
"Clty Eating Houses"

Showing How the Proposition to Open
Stores to Help Poorer People Has Had
Practical Success in Europe Good and
Cheap Dinners That Do Away with the
Death and Dyspepsia-deaiing Dinner
Pail.
Editor The Gazette: In view of the
facts which are unfortunately becoming
more familiar to us every day, in regard to
the winter needs Of large numbers OF our
population, we are proposing TO make
practical attempt at supplying some por-
ton, at least, OF those needs.
We hope to do this in way which shall
neither injurt the self-respect of those who
are unaccusLomed to the present distress,
and who are naturally slow to accept what
presents itself under the form of charity"
in the invidious sense, nor increase class
of professional paupers which has hereto
fore been happily a small one in our city.
With these ends in view, we are plan
ming to establish by the list of November
two stores for the sale of soup and possibly
other nourishing food at prices which will
be within the reach of all. Our effort will
be, in the location of these stores, to reach
| as far as may be the centre of the districts
| inhabited by the classes which can hardly,
alas now be called "wage-earning," one
on the east side and one on the west.
Our object in addressing this preliminary
letLcf 10 you Is 10 ASK you 70 let tue puDllc
| know of this contemplated work, and to
enlist the practical sympathy of those who
are less affected by the present financial
\ situation.
We shall want between this date and the
list of November the following things:
The rent of the two places guaranteed,
say for five months; the promise of 10
tons of coal, spread over the same period;
guarantees toward the wages of two
women, to give their whole time to the
preparation Of soup, &C.; two good sized
cook stoves; four large boilers, which cost
about So each.
May we appeal to the generosity of youl
readers to enable us to make this plan I
working success Contributions or prom
ises of assistance, in money or kind may
be sent to either of us.
