Queer Things I'm the Russinn Army.

From the London sun
The RUSSIAN army is f2!l Of funny things.
Thus, the biggest fellows are detailed for
duty in the body-guard regiment. "Preo-
brashenski," founded by Peter the Great, and
originally composed of that mcnarch's per-
sonal friends. all giants IN their way. The
cars family takes pride in this regiment,
and on the named day OF its patron saint
attends the festivities in a body, usually
reinforced by foreign ambassadors and min
listers. Then there Is the Ismailowski regi-
ment, where only fair men are tolerated,
and the well-known Pawlow Guards. all
of whom must have retrousse noses. The
regulations of the Guard Chasseurs. on the
other hand admit only dark-haired men.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
A Subject Ably Debated by Young
Christian Men.

The Y. NJ. C. a. Literary and Debating
Society opened Saturday evenings session
with the usual one-minute speeches, which
were followed by an essay on ''The Choice
and Use of Books" by James Y. Jones.
The ain discussion of the evening was
then taken up, the subject being, lis the
Present System of Municipal Government
in the United States Cum bersome, and
Does 1t Fail to Meet the Requirements of
the Age?"
The affirmative side was championed by
Thomas Mcknight, who argued that there
is feeling of unrest in many of our larg-
est cities; that municipal and State cleo
tons should be separated. and that Super
yisors should be elected by wards.

gued that CORRUPTION in city politics was
not due to the system, but to the men.
Mr.. Farquars0n argued that a position
should be filed by no one whose ability
was not of the highest order and that such
should be encouraged to remain.
MIR. Sauborn scored the franchise sys-

Exciting Game of Gaelic
Football.
The EmmetS and San Franciscos
Make Sixteen Points Each
at Central Park.

The Emmets and the San Fran iscos
Central Park yesterday afternoon There
was good attendance and the widest en-
thusiasm was aroused among the specta-
tors.
The closeness of the game can be seen
from the score, which was sixteen poin is
each. The Parnels bad an easy victory
over the San Franciscos the previous SUM-
day, but the latter had evidently prof ed
by experience and made things decidedly
interesting for the Emmets.
Ats o'clock The teams lined up as fol-
low s:
Emmets-F. Palmer (captain), J. Walsh
(gOnD, F. Creedr, J. O'Dowd, N. O'Dowd,
7. Powers, j. Mallett, Nj. Daily, NJ. Ryan,
u. Shugrne, d. Ward and I. Fl zgerald.

j. Mccarthy (goaD, 5. Walsh, j. Manning,
T. DAILY. j. r. Kelly, NJ. Lynch. NJ. Duane
w. Duan.. 2. Manning and j. Desmond,
The referee was j. Brown Of the Par
nells, whose decisions were never ques-
toned.
Captain McInerney won the toss and
elected to defend the ncIth goal. The
play started off with a vim, and the ball
was kept travelling from goal to goal for
several minutes without scoring, although
more than once goals were lost purely
through careless kicking.
}. O'Dowd of the Emmets scored the
first point in the game. and this was quick
" followed by goal scored by Nj. DAILY
from long straight kick. M. Lynch sue
ceeded in scoring point for the San Fran
cscos and just before half time was called
the Brothers O'D0wd rushed the ball ND
to the San Franchises goal, and Mike
with a swipe of his hand sent it through
THIS made two goals and point for the
Emmets and point fer the San Franchises.
In the second half the Saa Franciscos
assumed the offensive and rushed things
so well that almoGt before the Emmets
realized what was up NJ. Lynch scored
two goals in quick succession. This tied
the game and excited the greatest interest
among the spectators.
Some rafting plays followed, both teams
doing their level best to get ahead.
Finally NJ O'Dowd scored goal for the
Emmes and as it was nearing the time
for the call off it was thought the game
was practically woD. But such was not
the case. Captain McInerney called upon
his men for a grand rally and thew re-
sponded so well that be was able to kick
the ball through goal, icing the game for
the second time just as the referees whistle
was heard.
Captain McInerney, Mr.. Lynch and w.
Duane particularly DISTINGUISHED them
selves for the San Francjscos and Captain
Palmer, NJ. O'Dowd, J. O'Dowd and M.
DAILY did splendid work for the Emmets.

A Pathetic Scene at the Entrance TO

Perhaps nowhere in the world are the evi.

life so varied and numerous as about the police
stations OF great city.
While the Bridewell van stood waiting In
front of the MaXwel-street station the Other

children of many tongues and shades of color
gathered about to watch The prisoners who
were to leave the station.
Two OF The crowd attracted particular at

Both OF these women pressed eagerly forward
and when the prisoners came marching out

The little German woman saw him first.
He was great burIy fair-baired man with an
ugly face. and when he saw the Ii; tie woman he
frowned angry and she skunk mildly 10 the

kaufman of this city, who owned the land
upon which the lode has shown up richest.
The latter was told Of the existence of
lead of rotten" gold-bearng quartz by
old Tim Reid, who some years ago lost
trace of another lead just on the other side
of the hill from where this crops out.
On arriving al the Westend station, San
Rafael, it was discovered that dozen men
were. with pick aud shovel. on the face of
hill, not more than 100 yards away from
the station. Others were working on
Kaufman's land, which is laid off into
town lots about a half mile away, and
where the discovery was made by Reid.
Another party was found digging on the
five-acre plat of II. F. Bruins, the proprie-
tor of the Stock Brewery Of this city and
a weli-known ca ltallst.
On the south side of the hill, or ridge,
which runs along parallel with the rail-
road. lies the Jessup Tract of several hun
dred acres.
Twenty years ago gold-Dearing quartz
was struck there and tunnel was started,
but in a short time the prospect gave out in
dip" or spur" as mining men say,
aud the company did not have sufficient
capital to carry on the work. The crop
ping on the north side of the hill is de-
clared by experts to be continuation of
the old lode, and for that reason Kauf-
man will drive off the trespassers and or
ganize a company to go to work right
away.
In speaking of the matter yesterday he
said:
