not act as referee In the Gale-P Princeton

thoroughly prejudiced against Yale that
he cannot consistently act as judge OF
her play.
Frank Hinkey's act in jumping on

most brutal thing I ever say on the foot

for It. Hinkey should have been dis

umpire told me he saw the play but did
not notice who the offender was While

justly, 1 must say that is a very weak
excuse for not disqualifying tie ale
captain, for there were only TWO
men near Wrightington at the time and
nobody else had any difficulty in identi-
flying the players. If Mr. MoffaE had
done his duty IN that instance there
would have been no more unnecessary
roughness during the game.
Towards the game, the Harvard play

IL Il Provided Now In Fire Insurance Poi-

BY agreement the fire Insurance companies

Identical in phraseOlogy. Before this agree
ment was made there was much rivalry among
companies based upon the wording Of policies
and insurers gave their patronage TO the COM
pany which by the form OF Its policy made re-
covery easiest in the event OF loss. Since the
agreement went into effect the changes which
have been made In the wording OF policies have
been uniform among the companies One re-
cent improvement Is the lightning clause.
Heretofore the injury provided against in nre
insurance policies has been loss BY fire or as the
eminent legal authority, Blackstone, once

DUBLIN MEN IN NEW YORK.
Feelings Somewhat Strained between Then
aad Natives OF Other Counties.

The relations existing between the Dublin
men and the natives of other counties in Ire
land are not cordial In New York city. The
Dublin men have an association Of their own
and they keep TO IL without apparently any
wish to Join organizations Of other Irishmen.
Members of other Irish county societies are apt
Ia regard the Dublin men as aristocrats and
this feeling has prevented the gathering such
as was proposed II few years ago. Of all repre-
sentative Irish societies in a confederation.
The prejudice OF lrishmen generally. against
Dublin county men is due In part to the fact
that they believe that the city Of Dublin Is
somewhat Anglicized. This belief has sprung
up because 1t is the official residence Of the
representatives Of the English Government, and
nations, and Governmental bulletins issue.
mo good can come from Dublin, I" is "a famil-
lar saying In some parts OF Ireland. Some Of
the Dublin men who reside in New York make
claims To superior educational and social advan-
rishmen from other Counties. Dublin ubS2iS' Is the he
capital seat, and capital towns ia Ireland, as
elsewhere, are not always popular; Natives ot
Dublin have been more generally distinguished
In England than in their own country and this
perhaps. has had something 10 do with the
Moore, the Irish poet, was born in Dublin
though he lived mostly in England. Michael
Bale, the musical composer, Was born in Dub
lin. So was Dion B0ucicault; so was John
Brougham. both vel known in theatrical an
mails. Edmund Burke was born in Dublin, and
so was the Duke OF Wellington. Grattan was
born in Dublin; SO were Hamilton. the scientist;
Isaac Barre, Charles Lever, the Irish novelist,
Samuel Lover, Richard Steele, and Jonathan
Swift. Il. fact, the historical record OF Dublin
as an Irish county Is much more nearly con-
nected with men distinguished In English liter
AZURE OF craftsmanship than with those who
either preferred Ireland as a place OF residence
or devoted their efforts 10 It's liberation from
British rule. Therefore, the natives OF other
counties who have formed associations here
md that they have little in common with the
Dublin men, and make no secret Of their belief
that the Dublin men are halt English at best
Necessarily. such antagOnisms are not all one
sided, and the Dublin men on their side declare
themselves superior 10 other IFishmen in intel
lectual achievements end material progress.
II is generally found that NJ public banquets or
literary conferences of any kind the dublin
men take precedence over other Irishmen but
In gatherings called for patriotic or benevolent
objects they have usually a scant representa-
ton, II any. The Dublin men OF New York

Six Arrested Negroes Are Shot to Death
In Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 4. "A mob
of armed and masked farmers inter-
cepted an officer on his way to Milling
ton with six negro prisoners at II
o'clock Ia iday night and shot the
handcuffed prisoners dead in the wagon
in which they were being hauled to
jail for trial
Recently there have been a number
of fires in the vicinity of Millington
under such circumstances as to indi-
cate that they were the work of an or
ganized gang of incendiaries. Cotton
gins. numerous barns and other out
houses, and one or two dwell
ings have been burned and the
diabolical work eliminated in the
destruction of the buildings on
the fair grounds at Millington. Sew
eral negroes were charged with COM
plicity in these deeds of arson, and
yesterday evening Deputy Sheriff kich-
ardson arrested Dan Hawkins, Glenn
White, Warner Williams, John Hughes,
Ed Hall and Robert Haines, all col
ored, on warrants charging them with
the crime.
The men were not masked. but nei-
ther the deputy nor the driver, Atkins,
recognized any of them. None of them
lives In that community, and it was
quite dark where the murderous work
was done.
Deputy Richardson Immediately APP
prised the justice of the peace of
what had been done. A jury was sum-
moned, consisting of four negroes and
eight white men, and an inquest held.
The verdict was in accordance with
the facts as detailed b. The only two
