How Children Play.

~ NE billion! One thousand mil
lions. 1000. 100000! All dollars!
~ Let the reader imagine that he is
saving 81 every day of his life. Then let
him take pencil and paper and figure out
how long he would have to live to accu-
mulate the sum mentioned in the opening
paragraph. He will convince himself
while doing this that the figures are so
overwhelmingly st%upcndous as to be al
most past comprehcnsion-too large for
the mind to grasp at one time. He will
find amusement in calculating how much
he could have saved from the beginning of
creation or the birth of the Christian era,
and then comparing his pigmy numerals
with those used in expressing one billion.
Yet there are men who can juggle with a
billion as easily as Sandow losses Il ten
pound cannon ball. They may not pos
scss a billion dollars outright. perhaps,
but they control that gigantic pile of
wealth, own the greater part of it, and
use and handle it as if it was every penny
their own.

America Wins Again

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-The Uni
yeIsity of Pennsylvania past and present
won most conspicuous victory over OK
lord and Cam bridge past and present IN
the first international college cricket
match played in this country, winning
by an even 100 runs.
The match began on Friday last, the
Englishmen gong first TO bat and finish
ing their innings with the large total of
2s4. Then Pennsylvania took the defense
of the w'ckets, and under the speedy
trundling OF the foreign bowlers lost four
wickets for IS runs before stumps were
drawn, and finished their innings for 13s,
being obliged to follow on. II was in
the second inning that they retrieved
their lost fortune, piling up the score OF
307. When the visiting Englishmen went
to the bat for their second inning today
interest was at high pitch, although it
was thought nothing short of a miracle
could help the Pennsylvanians. The
miracle happened, however. and the
game closed: Oxford Cam bridge, $40;
University Ut Pennsylvania, 445.

Of NJ. Nicholson VS.. WinIfred c. Tarpey,
which has peen in court for two years,

were first brought, with the hope the case
might be dism Used.

him. The Judge advocate replied in a
loud voice that it was not trap.

yer, land altogether an unfair trick.
The men were Just beginning to get
warmed up wher Commodore Sincard
raped for order.
Mr.. Bartlett arose and said ne had no
intention OF letting the letter go in evil
dence. I'VE do not want it to 90 in as
such, said Mr.. Bartlett, ''for in that case
we might be entrapped into confession
OF guilt. 1t is not admissible"
The first witness, T. H. Hunt, who test-
fed on Saturday, was called. He was
asked about coal which was taken to
Forney's apartments.
He could not give the exact number of
tons. Ninety eight tons OF coal. he said,
had been delivered on March Sd. 9Th and
9th. He said it had been consumed inn
inediately, but on being questioned, how
ever. said it had lasted until June. His
evidence he said was based on the num-
Der of coal tickets he had received. Hunt
admitted to Mr.. Bartlett that he had t;
private coal bin of his own. but despite
that he always used government coal for
his own quarters at the barracks.

COMMITTEES, issued the following statement
W sTe press ms afternoon:
nave pothing to say in answer to
noru Dunraven's letter of September -.
NY committee is out of town. Lord Dan
raven has given his letter to the public
and our answer will come later.
10 strip this yacht question of all side
issues and special pleadings by Dnnraven
about conditions, old and new. that
should not have prevented him from
racing Nalkyrle to the finish of the
match
THE glaring fact stanGslout that he did
not do his duty to the ROYAL Yacht
Squadron who made the challenge for
him, to the English people nor to his
supporters nor himself. He prevented
Defender from showing her power in the
second aud third races, thus giving those
who built her no opportunity of display
ing her superiority over the challenging
vessel.
Lord Dunraven had the personal right
to decline to resail the protested race of
September 10th in written or unwritten
offer made to him by Mr.. lselin and dp-
proved by the cup committee, which he
did decline. He had also the same per-
sonal right to start his yacht across the
line on Septem Der 18th and withdraw her
from the race as he did, leaving Defender
to go over the course alone.
II believe it was, TO say the least, a
mistake IN judgment. and that the great
majority of vschtsmen The world over
will so decide
