element" yesterday in the Gaelic football
game between the Paruell and Emmett
clubs. There were three players OF that
name. two on the Parnei1 SHE ana one on
the other. and all bore the initial "D' in
front of their name. One of this trinity
of D. Buckleys kicked the goal that won
the game for the Parnells, but how to
designate him out of the ruck as the hero

SO 1t must go down TO history in the an
nails OF the Gaelic series of the football
game at the Midwinter Fair that d. Buck
ley won one of the best contested games
OF ball yet seen OF the fair grounds, or in
fact elsewhere for that matter, in many a
day.
The Parnelis massed in force in red and
green striped JERSEYS and an assortment of
headgear that would have dauuted less
fearless foes than the Emmets. The lat
ter. dressed in their white suits. looked
like athletes. and right royalty did they
battle. But the red and green Jerseys won
the battle and that almost tells the story.
The Psrnells took the ball at the open

and finally rush toward the goal OF the
Emmetts, and they retaliaj ed by sending
the ball 10 the other end IF the field. Then
1t came back again many times, until d.
Buckley of the ParnellS raised it with a
beautiful kick, and over the head of u.
Buckley of the Emmets il sailed through
the posts. Shortly afterward time was
called.
At the commencement of the second half
the Emmetts sailed in to do or die
O'Keefe of the EmmettS secured the ball
and passed it to Captain Palmer, who in a
play Tor goal secured one point. When but
ten minutes of the last half remained the
Emmetts claimed goal. 1t was Morris
O'DOwd this time. He claimed he caught
the ball with his strong right arm and
pushed it through the goal. but Referee
NealOn did not allow ii, and the Parnels
went to glory with points to their credit
TO the Emmetts' l.
The game was certainly the best played
here in long time. On each side all
played the game of their lives, but stand
ing out in bold relief were Creole, Mori-
arlty, McInerny, NJ. O'Dowd and O'Con-
nor Of the Emmets. The stars OF the
Parnells were Kelle her, Shinkwin. Hen

CURSE OF THE ROMANOFFS.
Baron Won Humboldt's Prophecy Regard
ing Nicolas Of Russia.

N"b hoPbSr tkdTa
ing Nicolas of Russia.
James Russell Lowell used TO tell
this story to intimate friends. 1t was
told him by John Lothrop Matley: "In
1853, just before the Crimean war COM
menced the venerable Baron Won Hum
boldt came to London on a very i'm
portant confidential mission. He
called upon Lord Palmerston and said:
Il know a war Is imminent
between England and her
allies on the one hand and Russia.
IL you will temporize, make diplomatic
delays, do anything 10 gain time for a
year or two, there will not need to be
q war; 'Why?' Palmerston asked.
Because Nicolas of Russia will
die within two years. The fatal
curse of the Romanoffs Is on him. Do
you not know II a IA great seeress told
Peter the Great that no male member
of the Romanoffs would ever live TO
see his 65th year?' But Nicolas Is not
yet So Palmerston answered. Il wish
to savs an immense flow of human
blood, said old Humboldt solemnly.
Il know that the car will
die within two years Lord Palmer
ston was greatly impressed with Baron
Hum boldt's statements. But he could
not hold his own hand then. France,
in view of Louis Napoleon's ready req
ignition by Palmerston, and all Europe
followed his lead, vas then ready Ia
take the field. SO the Crimean war had
to GO. But Nicolas of Russia died
within four months OF the two years
limit given him by Won Humboldt"
Leaving the prophecy out of the
question. it is a fancy OF history
that the Russian czars have all
died before 65. Alexander HIS
grandfather, the half insane Gear Paul,
and the four heads of the Roman
offs before Nicolas all died before 50,
and of the same disease that has been
40 deadly to Alexander III. Alexan-
DIR ], at one time Nspoleon's great
ally, then his enemy, who SO aided i'm
the downfall Of the French empire,
died when he was 4s, of ''monomania,
bordering on insanity" says history.
Matternich, the great Austrian pre-.
mier of that date. bluntly declares he
was insane. The Grand Duke Con-
stantine, who wns really entitled to
he Russian throne, waived his
right In favor Of Alexan-
der ]. He had sense enough
TO be aware that he was
not mentally At to rule such m empire
a. Russia. He died in his 52d year, of
what would now be called cerebro
spinal miningitis. The Grand Duke
Michael was killed In his 4sth year by
. fall from his horse while In q ut. He
had shown signs Of madness so often
that 1t was a question whether 1t was
safe for him to be ut large. So goes
the long but lever changing
record of the Romanofts for two centu-
les.
Alexander Ill was personally a most
kindly man and remarkably free from
the grosser vices. He drank a little
red wine sometimes. but no strong
liquor. and he abhorrsd drunkenness,
as did his father before him.-Washing.

A NEW STREET SWEEPER.
An Invention which VIII Ne . Blessing 20
Cities.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-Within the next
two months the municipal authorities
Of the leading cities OF the country Will
be afforded an opportunity OF witness
Ing n practical demonstration OF a new
invention which it is claimed will revo-
lutionize all existing and past meth
DDS Of street cleaning and which viii
solve one of the most ~perplexing prob
lens of the nge, the difficulties OF
which increase with the growth OF
cities.
The present system OF sweeping
streets Is both expensive and primitive.
While machinery is rapidly taking the
place of hand labor In all other indus
tries, but little IL any changes from
hand methods have been made In street
cleaning.
The machines now in use simply leave
the sweepings i'm iiffs TO be collected by
hand labor into lunches, then to he
shoveled into carts or left TO be re-scat-
tered by passing vehicles. The new
invention, which is automatic in It's
operation, is a self loading sweeper
which picks up tho s~weepings
automatically, while progressing
over the streets and doing entirely
away with hand labor. The invention
will be a boon In the winter time. for
with the new automatic device the
sweeper can be started with a storm
and II kept in operation not only the
tracks, but the entire street may he
kept clear, as by a carrier or elevator
arrangement the snow is loaded into
carts or wagons attached to the side of
the sweeper. The invention is ais
adapted to the sweeping of depot plat
forms and other large Enclosed spaces,
one man and the machine being able to
do the work now requiring six
men. The invention would make a
remarkable reduction In the cost OF
cleaning the thoroughfares of large cit
les. In New York city tie street clean
ing expenses approximate the enor-
nous total of 81. 600, 900 annually, while
In Chicago last year the average outlay
for this purpose was over S4s a mile.
BY the use of the new automatic ma
chine it Is claimed that this cost will be
reduced.
