cd Indebtedness OF the city was about
$500 600, and the taxation OF the property |
was based on the assessment made dur
ing the boom time. and he feared that |
next year when a reassessment had 10 pc /
made IL would not bring y per cent In |
his city the local-option law had been an
utter failure. There had already dozen |
charters been granted for the organization |
OF social clubs. and any five negroes could
band together 10 establish such cruz
for the purpose OF drinking whisky. and
from twelve to fifteen such clubs were
actually In existence. During the past
six weeks IL had been necessary to hold
three terms OF grand juries. These clubs
sold as much whisky as bar-roofns, ana
did not require any license.

by a combination OF negro preachers and
the negro element. There We're now ss0.-

not be collected. because the people had
no money and by the operation Of this
law from $4,000 10 $4,000 would be cut
| off from the revenues OF the city. Besides,

Suffrage In Canada.

1t is the opinion Of The Telegraph
that woman suffrage is coming in Can
ada just as surely as the change of the
seasons, and while no one can safely
venture to predict just when or how it
will come it may be safely asserted that
eventually all Canadians of adult age,
whether men or women, will enjoy the
right to vote for members of the house
of commons. Indeed, there is nowhere
any very violent opposition to slch a
change, except in the minds of few
men like Goodwin Smith, who have be-
come mbued with the idea that there is
some philosophical reason why women
should not be allowed to vote.-St John

 Neutral.
 An enormous crowd will probably be present at the game at Yale field this after noon to decide the championship between Harvard and Princeton. It is the first time that such game has been played at New Haven, and as both teams are con- sidered guests of the college, Yale's hos pitslity will not be lacking. A strict neu- tra]ity will be observed and the cheering will be impartially directed to all good plays on either side. About 700 Princeton sympathizers are expected. while the lib eral inducements offered by the Harvard management in the partial payment of the expenses of all men who wish to go to the game, assure large representation on the side of the crimson.
 Tickets for the game will be on sale al the Coo to day. The new seats will ac commodate 1,56O people. This will give 2 total seating capacity on the grounds ot 2,7OO The total seating of the field will be 3,900 No carriage positions will bt sold, but all carriages will have to tak' their chances at the south side of the field From ga athletic standpoint the game will | be most interesting one.

FoOTE WINS.

An Exciting Game at the New Haven
 Lawn Club Yesterday Afternoon-
 To Play for the CnRTo-Day.
 Only two games were played in the New England tennis tournament at the New Haven Lawn club yesterday.
 In the morning in the semi finals W. G.. Parker defeated John Rowland in very close and exciting match, the score Icing 6 B, 5-7, 86.
 In the afternoon Foote defeated Parker in a most interesting match, the seors be- ing 3-6, 1-6, 6-1, 6 3, 60.
 This was of course the decisive game ot the tournament and was one of the most interesting as we'll. Foote displayed great generalship and won the match after 6 hard fight. They were two very evenly matched men. Foote seemed to excel ir defensive play, while Parker exeeiled 1T the offensive. Foote, however, by hll sheer persistence tired his adversary ou and won the tournament.
 Clarence Hobart, the holder of the $35' challenge cup, will play Foote to-day.
