YALE VERSUS HARVARD

As the shrill piping of tho robin heralds
the approach Of springtimc, so tho annual
wailing Of the Yale and Harvard calamity
howlors about this time is certain har-
bingcr TINT tho blue and tho crimson arc
soon to meet in their great annual boat
race. Tho Yale howl is usually to tho cf-
feet that Bob Cook has just looked over
tho crow and is SO disappointed at it's
showing that he is undecided whether to
commit suicide OF return to Philadelphia
Tho Harvard wall is to the effect that tho
crimson crow is SO bad, so awfully, awfully
bud, that Mayor Bancroft is on tho verge
of nervous prostration.
There is occasionally something In tho
Harvard rumor, for Harvard usually turns
out losing crew, but in the case Of Yalo
the reports that tho 'boat has gono all to
pieces" and that the "blado work Is rug
gcd" are usually tho imaginings Of Yalo
hackers who are attempting to encourage
tho appearance of Harvard money.
This year the Yale crow is much heavier
than that of Harvard. The Yalo mon av-

Tho crimson crew are plucky set Of nth

when tho eventful day comes. They have
not forgotten that, although tho Yaio crow
OF 1891 was considered the best that Ind
ever left New Haven, the supposedly in
ferior Harvard crew won a great victory.
The distance to bc rowed, as every one
knows, rs four miles straightaway. Fri
day, June go, was originally fixed as the
day OF the race, but the conditions of the
tide are such that the representatives of
the two crews have decided to row on tho
day before. For many years the race has
taken place OH Friday, but Thursda,

Since 1876, when tho present series of
races began the great event has been won

Yale owes her supremacy to the Bob Cook
stroke, which was introduced mt Yalc nv
the famous coach OF that name. Yale has
lost few races In the years that Cook has
been her rowing mentor, and she appnr.

Reward for Post once Robbers,

Boston, November 13.-In view of the in.
crease of Iobberies here it is felt 10th by
the department and the inspectors that
some inducement should be held out in the
shape of a reward in hopes that the many
gangs of burglars now operating in these
states would be detected and punished.
This is the aim of the Post Office Depart
ment, and the officials are of the opinion
that it will lessen the rohberies to some ex-
tent. The following is the order issued by
the Postmaster General:
That during the fiscal year ending June
80. 1895, the Post Office Department will paw
the following rewards. viz: The sum Of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction of any
person in the United States court on the
charge of robbing the mails while being con-
veyed in any mail car attached to a railway
mail train.
The sum Of $500 for the arrest and conv;c-
ton of any person in the United States
court on the charge of robbing the mails
being conveyed over any. post route other
than a railway.
The sum of $3.50 for the arrest and con VIC
ton of any person in any United States
court on the charge of attempting to rob
the mails being conveyed over any post
1oute.
For the arrest and conviction of the per-
son in any United States court on the
charge of bI eaking into post Office and
stealing therefrom, or of robbing a post
office, or of larceny from a post office, the
sum of 500 in each case wherein the
amount stolen is less than 500; the sum
$3.50 in each case wherein the amount stolen
is more than 500 and less than $500. and
the sum of $500 in each case wherein the
amount stolen exceeds $500, provided that
in all cases wherein a safe in post office is
blown open or otherwise opened, and public
property or money stolen there from, the
sum of $500 will be paid regardless of tbo
amount stolen.
The order is signed by the Postmas st or
General.

sPUNKY PARsoN
Fought Burglar and Put Him to
Fight.

New York. November 49, The Rev. Fred
erick c. Seckerson, the assistant pastor OF
the Clinton avenue Congregational church
at Clinton and Lafayette savenues, Brook
ly. had encounter with a burglar this
morning and narrowly escaped with his life.
Mr.. Seckerson resides at No. 376 Greene
avenue. and occupies the back parlor as
study and sleeping apartment
About one O'Clock this morning he was
awakened by the sound of some one moving
about the room. BY the faint light he was
able to see the form of a man moving slow
ly.
The clergyman, who is of an athletic
build, asked the intruder what he wanted,
and receiving no reply. reached for his re-
VolVer. which lay Lear on the dressing case.
Tongside of the bed. and sprang to the floor.
1.-The burglar. seeing that his opponent was
armed, drew bowie knife with a long
blade, with which he made lunge at the
clergyman, the blade penetrating the fieshy
part uf the left forearm, making a severe
wound, from which the blood flowed freely.
Both men then gIappled, aad hand-to-
hand struggle for life ensued. Nj. Seeker
son finally managed to fire a shot at the
man, which evidently took effect, as he at
once released his hold, and staggered to-
ward the open window, through which he
made his escape. The clergyman fired
second shot at the retreating burglar, but
whether it took effect or not he is unable to
say.
Meanwhile the household had become
alarmed. and Patrolman Finn was called in.
He could find no trace of the burglar, but
blood stains on the sill of the window
through which he had fled, and OH the rear
yard fence. showed that Mr.. Seckerson's
aim had been true in one instance at least.
The examination of the apartments of Mr..
Seckerson discovered the knife. which the
man had dropped in his fight. and also the
fact that about 81 in cash had been taken
from desk in the ROOM
