woman After Hard Tackle.

In municipal court, on Saturday, Carrie
Lewis colored. was arraigned upon a
charge of shop-lifting and assault and bat
terry preferred by Mary Moss, a sales
woman at No. 800 Market street. The
latter testified that the woman came into
Mr. Rosenheld's store, aud while the
clerks back was turned struggled Coat
under her dress.
Her actions were observed by the clerk
and when the saleswoman attempted to-
search the dusky shoplifter the latter
pounded her with her lists. The prisoner
He'd from the store and Miss Moss scored a
touchdown by .clinging fiercely to the
woman and forcing her over the curb line
where she was arrested.
Mrs. Wogan, police matron, testified that
SHE searched the prisoner in the PRESENCE
of Captain Chambers, and removed her
clothing. The search failed to reveal the
missing coat.
Judge Ball, in passing sentence, said the
actions OF the prisoner were calculated 10
arouse the suspicion of the saleswoman
but in view of all the testimony, the court
would have to dismiss the case there beng
no conclusive evidence of the theft. The
woman was therefore discharged.

Lord Roberts, formerly commander of

Many Scottish statesmen, clergymen,

Many sneers had been leveled at Scotch
thrift, Mr.. Bayard said, but such cheap
sneers were best answered by Sir Henry
Tnylor's words that there had never been
a spendthrift who was generous. [Cheers. |
A man could not give what he did not pos
sess. He could not have the means Of
being generous unless he should be SELF
denying. Mr.. Bayard recalled the rela-
tons Of Sir Waller Scott to publisher
Murray as illustrative of the good feeling
existing between Scotchmen.
Although he had travelled much, Mr.
Bayard said, he had never yet seen land
where one Scotchman in need could not
find another Scotchman ready TO share the
fruits Of his own thrift. In conclusion
Mr.. Bayard thanked his hosts for the in.
sight they had given him into the charms
Of Scottish hospitality. He was cheered

against tine kind Of football Princeton
was playing, During the rest of that
half and during all of the second
Princeton played like demons, but like
cool, clear-headed demons, for their
success never ratified them.
Princeton nearly scored in the second
half and kept Yale playing its best
game to prevent an increase in the
Nassau score. At the final call of time
the final wave of Princeton enthusiasm
broke and it swept over the field, liter

Although there was one man disabled
from further play, Thorne, of Yale, the
game was not noticeably rough, and
there was entire absence of smuggling.

Belated Bee---A Haynow---A Package
of Wilmington Goatskins, All Com
tribute to IA Mans Death.
A despatch from Camden, N. j., to the
Philadelphia Record Saturday said:
The sting of a bee, OF which he thought
nothing at the time, ended in the death OF
Jacob Fredericks, of No. 555 Washington
street, Camden, on Thursday. While in
haymow on Monday he was stung on
the neck. Later III the day Mr.. Freder-
icks, who was engaged in the express bus
iness in this city, handled large quantity
Of foreign goat skins, that we're being
transported To Wilmington.
The wound inflicted by the bee ON his
neck annoyed him considerably, and al
frequent intervals he paused In his work
to scratch the spot. In this manner animal
virus from the goat skins was transmitted
to his blood, and violent case of blood
poisoning set in. On Tuesday Mr..
Fredericks noticed that his neck was be.
ginning to swell at u rapid rate, and this
was accompanied by such great pain that
he was forced to stop work. He went to
his home and summoned a doctor. but
despite all efforts the swelling and pain
increased.
By Thursday the symptoms became Sc
alarming that another physician was
called and a consultation held No relief
could be given the unfortunate man, how,
ever, and early in the evening he died.

He Begged for Mercy.


Joseph Price, the young mulatto ar
rested by the Wilmington police a few
days ago, was given a hearing before
Squire Rupert this morning on the
charge of entering the residence of w. S.
Hunt, near Green Hill, and robbing it
OF several dollars in cash, pair of gum
boots and other articles The prisoner
practically admitted having committed
the theft, but begged for mercy.
Joseph" asked Mr.. Hunt, "why did
you take. lamp up in my barn and
place 1t under a wagon near the hay "
Went it to count de money" came the
reply. "Well, could forgive you any
thing but that" concluded Mr.. Hunt.
And Squire Rupert announced that he
would hold the defendant to answer at
court. This caused him to sob conyul-
sively, and he beseeched Mr.. Hunt to
go his bail, but Mr.. Hunt didn't think
it would look we'll for him to be prose-
cutor and bondsman also. Price is al
most 20 years OF age, and is said to be.
long to a family of shady characters.

The game In the morning, although con-
siderable interest was manifested in the
result. II is doubtful if admirers of the
spot were favorably impressed with
tue character of play INDUCED in by the
~ men who lined up at Riverview.
There was plenty of smuggling and ex-
citing incidents involved, but the aver
age football enthusiast cares little Tor
this kind OF work. There was time
when play of this character was toll
Grated, but that time has passed
1t is now the desire of the average
person who goes out to the gridiron to
see some clever scientific work. Scrap
ping and continual smuggling is ex-
pected to cut no figure in the game.
Every one likes to see fine tackling,
splendid running, and punting, in addi-
ton to good interference and clever
lodging and sprinting, all of which can
be included in the category of scientific
work. Mass play also should be ex-
cluded from the game. There was
plenty of it yesterday, however.
Rice played wonderful game as
usual and was frequently given the
ball. He was here, there and every
where, and emerged from the game
Without scratch. His low punting
WIS one of the features of the game and
his running and lodging very clever.
Mahatfy has about as much grit as
any man who has appeared on the field
this year and he plays an alpround game
His size is against him, but at quarter he
could not be replaced. Wier played an
excellent game at full-back and made
the first touch-dowp for his team. Schill.
ing made the second. There are some
weak points in the line, and the block
ing is not entirely successful.
In the Field Club line NLahaffy's men
found weak spot ON several occasions
and bucked up against it successfully
The Field Club was sadly in need Of
practice. The Y. NJ. q. A., was fairly
well-drllled in practice and signals ga
lore. This gave them an advantage
and possessing heavy rush-line, they
were enabled TO protect the backs very
successfully. The Morgan brother.
played for the Field Club in the second
half, bur this did not prevent the Y, M
q. A. men from scoring. In the frs
half neither side scored. In the frs
half LeMaistre played right tackle, ii
the second half he went behind the line
and did some clever playing Begg,
tackled hard whenever the opportunity
offered itself, and McCaulley's work a
tackle was very effective. With excep.
tionsthe Field Club played well in the
absence of practice. An attendance o
about 500 people saw the game. Thu
| teams lined I'M as follows.
