A FINE FOOTBALL CUP
Attempt to Bring Princeton and

PRINCETON. N. j., Oct S.-Quite a stir
was created in foot ball circles here by
the report that Mr.. James EMERSON, Jr.
philadelphia Enquirer) of Philadelphia,
has made an offer of cup worth $1,000
to be contested fer by the Princeton aud
Pennsylvania foot ball teams. The COM
munlcatIon sent to A. 6. Mill
bank, manager of the Princeton
team, by Mr. Elverson, contained
absolutely no conditions to when and
where the game should be played or as
to the rules that should govern it, these
details being left entirely to the manage
uent of the two teams. The bitter feel
ing against Pennsylvania has almost en-
tirely disappeared, and the undergradu-
ates as q body would be only too glad to
have their pets meet Pennsylvania on
the gridiron this fall The alumni, too.
of whom there is large number in
Philadelphia, are anxious to see another
contest between the two universities.
AT the very outset, however, a number
of difficulties appear to prevent a con-
test this season at-least. The two elevens
are playing under different rules, the
Princeton management has az
ranged a complete schedule of games up
TO Nov %, the Yale date, which is prac-
tically the close of the season, and it GER
tainiy would be an injustice to any of
the smaller teams with whom contest
has been arranged to take their date
away and give it TO Pennsylvania.
Capt Lea said regarding the offer that
he considered it generous one, and if il
had been made before the schedule had
been completed and the new rules ap.
proved there might have been a chance
of Princeton meeting Pennsylvania.
But contest this year between the two
teams was utterly out of the question.

VEST FOR BI-METALLISM

BOTH GOLD AND SILVER FOR
STANDARD MONEY.
Sweet Springs, Mo-, June Ex-senator
Vest, who is stopping at his cottage near
here, had this to say on the money ques-
ton in relation to the country as whole
and especially to Missouri: There must
be settlement of the silver question
without equivocation. We must deter
mine to adopt the gold standard per-
nanently, retire the greenbacks and per-
petuate the national banks with their
paper. based exclusively on gold, or we
must open our minis to silver.
Il believe in real bimetallism, the use
of both gold and silver as standard mon
ey, but If we must have one metal or the
other 1 would take silver. for we would
then at least be independent instead of
being the tail of the English kite and the
helpless victim Of the Rothschild syndi-
cate'
Asked his opinion about calling a state
convention of the Democratic party in
Missouri to consider the silver question,
Senator Vest said that he believed that
majority of the party desire a conven-
ton, and he assumed that the state COM
mittee would obey the demand Of the
majority. The matter has gone so far
that more irritation would come from
the refusal to call convention than from
anything the committee could possibly
do. He might not attend the conven-
ton, But" said he, "in any event, alb
sent or present, in the senate or out of

THE GHOST OF A TREE,

While on visit to London was asked
by AMIR. S. to call upon him at his home
in a town some miles from the city. He
lived in a detached villa. with a large
garden at the back of it. We had just
got there when he asked me to have a
look at his garden, so I went out along
with his wife and himself. But no SOON
er had stepped on to the plot of grass
Immediately adjoining the house than,
thought I saw a large and beautiful
fruit tree, covered entirely with white
blossoms; and walking nearer to it,
found the tree dissolved away, and actu-
ally no tree was there. / was so aston
ished at this phantom spectacle that
spoke about it to Mr.. S., and immedi-
ately both he and his wife exclaimed
THAT is extraordinary, as there actu-
ally stood there, on the very spot, a large
fruit tree, which was cut down and
taken away month ago, as it never
bore fruit, but was at springtime a mass
of blossom; but it's branches overhung
the grass plot so that it was thought
best to remove it," 1 had never seen
this place before, or knew anything of
the tree or the circumstances connected
dent peculiar, and wondered how the
ghost Of a tree could be sensed as an ex-
istent thing on the atmosphere. Since
then have learned that the spiritual en-
bodiment of the tree had as much right
to exist as our own own spiritual body.
Several incidents of the same kind have
taken place since that time, and I con-
clude that nothing exists materially but
has a spiritual counterpart.-(NeWA ge.)
