YaIe,s Team Again.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 25-Har

was an ideal day, but for the spectators
it was uncomfortably cold. Yale won

Harvard the ball. Harvard hopas ran
high when their crimson line was seen to
work the flying wedge SD successfully

first half ended without score being

themselves and when the play was re

offensive and rushed things through to
victorious end. The Harvard yells grew
fainter after Butterworth made touch

What a "P1ush CUT Means,

Men get up some perplexing ques-

Two gentlemen were back of me.

What did he mean2 Hooked around
also. Evidently there were none in
sight. His friend said:
'That's so. You don't see them
much now. presume they will
come back again soon They come
in fads One fellow who is popular
takes it up, and the others are sure to
follow suit" Curiosity had opened
my ears at first. Desperation was
straining them now.
Eyes, generally one bright fellow
leads the style for the swim, and the
fellows in other cliques take it up.

Held for Identification.

A man giving his name as George Fuller
was arrested as a hobo by Mr.. Maloney
Monday, and he answered the description
of Frank Martin. who was wanted for mur-
der committed at Evanston, Wyoming,
Oct. 10Th. Of course he pretended to have
no knowledge of having been guilty of any
crime in Wyoming; but on being closely
questioned acknowledged he was in Evans
ton about that date. and by eyasive answers
to other questions gave strong indications
of having done something of which he was
not proud. His description was given in
a printed circular, offering 500 tor his ap-
prehension, and accompanying this was
half toned photogravure, which resembled
him very much. When arrested he had a
full beard, of dark brown color, and, when
the photograph was taken he was clean
shaved. Mr. Maloney had photograph of
him taken with his whiskers, aid also one
when these were shaved. He was found to
haye on three coats, and two pairs Of trous
ers, one of which that answered the des-
cription in the circular. being turned inside
out The name ct the firm of which the
hat was purchased was in embossed letters
on the band; but this had been torn off,
which is rather suspicious. Henry Wade
was the man whom he killed; but no
further particulars of the crime was gwen.
Martin threw away the coat IN which he
left Evanston, which he acknowledged to
the recorder. As soon as the sheriff is
heard from, he will either be taken back or
discharged; but very likely the former.

Hamilton's Body Found.

Albany Herald Sunday: Yesterday
morning the searcners for the missing man,
Joseph Hamilton, in the mountains on the
North Santiam, found the body about two
miles from his cabin, near the trail eading g
from the drift above MISS Halls place to
the cabin of j. B. Comely. The dead
mans little dog had remained with m,
faithful to the last, and his presence led to
the finding of the body. About 20 men
were out on the search in three squads, one
under the leadership of ]. o Fox. one
headed by L. w. Lauphead and the third
directed by Duncan Ferguson and Ed.
Townsend. About 9 A. NJ, Messrs. Town
send and HolIiDgsworth, directed by the
presence of the little dog, found the body
lying by log not far from the trail. Death
must have resulted from over exertion and
exposure, as there was no marks on The
body. He was lying II his back, his hands
helng partially under him his hat a few feet
away on a small knoll.

The Pneumatic Gum.

NEW York, Nov. 2S-Captaln L.
Zalinskl. of the Fifth artillery, stationed
at the Presidio, CAL, the expert on the
pneumatic gun, was recently offered
$4,000 to assist the Brazilian govern
ment for three months in the use of the
pneumatic gun. In an lntervitw yester-
day he said:
my object in accepting the offer of
the Brazilian representatives was to make
scientific test of the pneumatic gun
afoat. Its efficiency on land has already
been proved beyond doubt. Some time
ago / maintained that 1t would be equally
effective on the sea. When the Brazllians
made me the offer I had obtained
months leave of absence from the de-
partment commander at California. with
permission 10 apply for an extension of
two months, so / at once made applica.
ton for the extension with the formal
statement OF my intention to cross the
seas in order to make certain scientific
experiments. had previously informed
the Brazilian authorities that I would
not under any circumstances engage il
any fighting for them, and that if 1 un-
dertesk the work they wanted me to do
should make either the West Indies or
one of the Brazilian ports at long dis
tance from the combat my objective
point: had also told them that at such
a point I would leave the ship, to ayold
the possibility of beng in action. NV
duties, in other words, were to consist
simply of making all the arrangements
necessary for the successful working of
the gun"

ment in the near future Captain Zalinski
pronounced to be true.

this city was held last Saturday night in
Fraternity hail. and a large number of in
vited guests were present and a very en-
joyahle time had. A literary<and musical

Jennie Russell gave rendition in her usual
admirable style, which was loudly applauded

an instrumental solo, also Miss Grace Lauer

an iron model of his sand rat trap, which
works to perfection. The trap is a great
improvement over the one in common
use, as when once set into the hole of a
sand rat it will catch all the rats that are
In the hole without being reset. The
main feature of Mr.. Walton's trap is a
spring that is wound up like clock.
When rat steps on the trap few coils
of the spring are released with the result
that the varmInt Is first transfiXeG and
then thrown out of the trap. The trap
captures dozen rats with one winding.
Mr.. Walton thinks his little device will
revolutlonize the art of rat catching, and
is going to haye it patented. Next spring
he is going to move to some county that

half dozen of his traps, with which he
says he will keep two men busy scalping

Fine Herd of Goats.

Corvallis Times: George W. aud his son
George A. Houck of this county have per-
haps the finest herd of goats in the state OF
Oregon. The herd numbers about 450 and
was recently increased and improved by the
acquisition of the Ara Cantrel herd. Mr..
Houck has high opinion OF the goat busi-
ness and during lis long experience of
more than dozen years has never sold
fleece at less than % cents per pound, and
by shipping east frequently receives 80 to
35 cents. The average yield from an ordi-
nary herd is about four pounds but eight or
ten pounds are frequently clipped from
high grade animals. Goats subsist chiefly
on brush and browse, which makes them
of great assistance in clearing land. Last
" Wednesday Mr.. Houck received two thor
oughbred Angora bucks direct from the
famous stock farm of Miller and Sibley of

KINDNESS WELL REPAID.
How a Little Act of Consideration Won
Distinction For Traveller.

DlStlnctlOn FOR IraVeier.
An Englishman making the grand
tour about the middle of the last cen
tury, when travellers were more OBJ
jects of attention than they are now,
on arriving at Turin sauntered out
to see the place.
He happened to meet regiment
of infantry returning from parade
and took position to see it pass. A
young captain, evidently anxious to
make a display before the stranger,
in crossing one of the numerous wa
ter courses with which the city is in
tersected, missed his footing, and in
trying tosave himself lost his hat.
The exhibition was truly unfortu-
nate-the spectators laughed and
looked at the Englishman, expecting
to see him laugh too. On the con-
trary, he not only retained his com
posure, but promptly advanced to
where the hat had rolled, and taking
it up presented it with an air of un
affected kindness to its confused
owner
The officer received it with blush
of surprise and gratitude and hur-
ried to rejoin his company; there
was murmur of applause, and the
stranger passed on. Though the
scene of a moment and without a
word spoken, it touched every heart,
not with admiration for mere dis
play of politeness, but with warm
er feeling for a proof of that true
charity (which never faileth."
On the regiments being dismissed
the captain, who was young man
of consideration, in glowing terms
related the circumstance to his colo
mel. The colonel Immediately men
toned it to the general in command,
and when the Englishman returned
to his hotel he found an aid-de-camp
waiting to request his company to
dinner at headquarters.
In the evening he was carried to
court, at that time, as Lord Chester
field tells us, the most brilliant court
in Europe.
Of course during his stay at Turin
he was invited everywhere, and on
his departure he was loaded with let
ters of introduction to the different
states of Italy.-Philadelphia Times.
