have duty to perform. Lesters majority

PRINCETON MEN IN PERIL.
The University of Virginia Gives Them
Close Rub at Foot Ball.


Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 15.-Princeton only
succeeded in scoring two touch downs
and safety in two twenty-mlnute halves
against the University of Virginia, this
afternoon and had several of the mar
rowest kind of escapes from being scored
against. The Virginia men showed up in
fine form, particularly in defensive work
Prlncetons S center was very weak and
Virginia broke through it again and again
While the Virginia center held like stone
wall, and Princeton was only able to gain
round the ends, All of Princeton's points
were made in the first half, and We're due
largely to the great work OF Morse He
was laid up at the end Of the half, and
Barnett took his place. In the second half
Virginia kept the ball in Princeton's ter
ritory third of the time, while Prince
ton did not get within ten yards of her
goal once, and Virginia owes much to
Mudd's superb tackling. About all the Sc
ciety people in Baltimore saw the game.

BRITISH POSTAL IDEAS.
The Plan for Penny Postage Throughout
the Whole Empire.

Crhomas l., James In Frank Leslie's)
There are two living Englishmen, J.
Henniker Heaton, member of Parliment
for Canterbury, and j. D. Rich, post
master at Liverpool. each OF whom fur
nishes an excellent illustration OF the
man of affairs striving honestly TO serve
the public. Both OF these men are iden-
titled with postal reform. subject OF
interest to every person, because tne
post-office is peculiarly a domestic insti-
tuition and comes home closer to the
people than any other department OF the
government.
For several years Mr.. Heaton has been
urging the British Government 10 ADOPT
a system of imperial penny postage
that Is 10 say, he would make the eni-
pire a single postal district. when penny
stamp would frank a letter, not merely
from street to street. or country TO
country, but from one end OF the Queens
dominions to the other-from Calcutta 10
Vancouver. from Edinburgh to Sydney
This scheme is interesting to the people
of this country, because Mr. Heaton
has lately included in Il the United
States. Some OF his English critics have
objected to this part OF the programme.
They say that by admitting foreign
country to the benefits OF the reform It's
value and efficacy are affected as means
of binding the various parts OF the en-
pire together. Mr.. Heaton answers that
this contention Is a failacy; that as
each country keeps Its own postage it
would be open to our government TO main
tain the present rate even after il had
been reduced for the British empire.
The reform. he contends. would certainly
crafty the large number OF emigrants
from the British Isles who have come
to this country. especially the Irish.
who are numbered by the millions and
who c.srv on large correspondence
with their relatives and friends In the
mother country. Every year 4oooo per-
sons In the United States send over a
sum OF y7,5o.ooo In small postal orders
to their friends In the United Kingdom.
Mr.. Heaton modestly says that this Is
not his ''scheme." II II simply the nat
