scarcely any attempt at following the ball,
and when there might just as well have
been nine or ten men after it there would
be one or two. Fumbling was the regula-
ton thing Amherst wss so weak that
there was little chance to judge Of Har-

Harvard was off side Amherst lost about
five yards on every down. Capt. Brewer

Exporting Cat Skins.


From the Detroit Free Press.
There are $1,000 skins of house cats ex-
ported from the United States every year.
These skins come from all parts of the
country, wholesaler seldom receiving a
consignment of furs from a country cor
respondent that does not include a number
of cat skins. When the correspondent re-
ceives fifteen cents apiece for them on an
average he may consider that he is doing
remarkably well. There is very little de-
mand for cat skins in this country, except
for cat tail rugs and other oddities, some
times for trimmings, and very rare as a
chest covering in winter for an old man
who belongs to the customs Of past gen.
Grafton. So the New York wholesaler sorts
his cat skins into lots of half dozen diff
ferent grades, and sends them to London,

Trying to Prevent the Fight in
Indian Territory.
INTRUDERS TO Be ELECTED FORCIBLY
United States Statutes Amply Cover
the Case.
INDIAN COMMISSIONERS VIEW

Commissioner Browning of the Indian
office has taken prompt and decisive steps
to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsimmors prize
fight taking place in the Indian territory.
He has prepared letter of instructions to
Agent Wisdom at Muscogee, Indian terri
tory, directing him to see that the laws are
enforced, and to eject forcibIy any intrud-
ers who may enter the Indian country for
the purpose of creating disturbance or OF
engaging in anything that may be detri-
n entail to the Indians.
The commissioner says that the statutes
of the United States are ample to cover the
situation and to prevent the fight. The
agent will have at his back not only the
Indian police, but all the United States
troops necessary to eject the fighters The
statutes give the United States authority to
keep out of the Indian territory all persons
whose presence would be detrimental to the
peace and prosperity of the Indians.
The commissioner says there is no doubt
that the presence of the prize fighters and
the gang that would follow them into the
Indian country would be very detrimental
to the Indians, and that 1t Is, therefore, the
duty Of the Indian office to keep them out.
He says that the agent at Muscogee has
not got as much authority as the agents on
reservations, but, nevertheless, has enough
to prevent the fight taking place In the ter
ritory of the Five Civilized Tribes.
The commissioner intends also to notify
all the governors and head men of the Five
Civilized Tribes that they must not allow
the fight to take place and must assist the
United States authorities in preventing IT,
Commissioner Browning was asked II the
admission of Corbett. Fitzsimmons ana
others connected with the fight to citizen
ship in one Of the tribes would make any
difference in the authority of the govern
ment and he said that it would not change
the conditions in the least. The govern
ment has the power to expel fullblood
Indian from the territory If the peace ana
good order of the Indians required 1t.
The government will be able to exercise
a great deal of discretion in the affair.
The United States marsbals. or the Indian
agent and his police. backed by the United
States troops. can remove the fighters as
intruders and keep them out, and then
answer as to violation Of the law after
ward 1t Is not case where the fight
might take place, and the fighters then be
called upon as to whether they have VIC
lated the law.
The government will not even wait for
the affair to progress that far. The prin-
cipals and others connected with the fight
will be unceremoniously hustled off the
Indian lands on the ground that they are
intrudsrs, whose presence Is undesirable.
If they make any complaint about 1t. the
courts will have to determine the rights
of the matter. and, it is believed, the prob
abilities are that the power Of the United
States government will he broadly inter-
preted.

CLEVELAND TAKES THE THIRD.
The Orioles Failed to Hit YOung's De-
livery.

Cleveland made it three straight at Cleve-
land Saturday in the wind up of the games
for the Temple cup in that city. An i'm
mense crowd was at League Park long be-
fore the hour set for the beginning. of the
game. At least 1900 people were in the
stands, on the field and perched on the
fences surrounding the park. The day was
a trifle cool, but the air was clear and the
sun shone brightly. The crowd was en-
thusiastic, but there was not a particle of
disorder. The game was won by the Cleve-
lands by superior playing. The visitors
were unable to hit Young effectively, while
Mcmahon was pounded for seven singles
and four doubles. three of which would
have been three baggers at least but for
the ground rules. Score. to 1.

Use for Calico Cats.

From the New York Sun.
The stuffed calico cats, made of print
Cloth stamped with the picture of a tabby
and stuffed with cotton into quite life
like counterfeit of the animal. which were a
common toy with children a few years ago,
have been put to a novel use lately in Lin
cCln county, Me. The farmers have fast
ened the calico cats up among the branches
of their fruit trees, ard it is said they most
efectually scare away predatory birds. 1t
would seem the idea could be extended into
the making of lifelike stuffed calico hunts
man for use as scare-crows in cornfields
and melon patches.

Frank Ives the other night gave a won

ENGLISH LOOKED FOR 1T.
Didn't Think Yale's Victory Would Be
So Sweeping, Though.


LONDON. October 1.-THE Globe, allld-
ing to the defeat of the Cambridge Uni
versity team by the Yale athletes. says:
Their defeat was hardly unexpected. but
SO entire Yale triumph seemed altogether
out of the question. If America cannot
prove her claims on the river she. at all
events. is vastly superior to England on
the track. If we wish to attain the Amer
lean standard there must be an altera-
ton in current theories here"
The Pail Mall Gazette says on the same
subject: Until both sides are willing to
devote as many months of training as they
row do weeks the Americans will always
win in America and the Englishmen in
England.
The St. James Gazette scouts the IDEA,
freely expressed here, that Oxford %as
lucky to beat Yale in 1894, and adds:
"Cambridges win over Oxford in 1895 was
very fiuky. depending entirely upon Men
