YALE AND PRINCETON
To Come Together in Football for Cham
plonship Honors.

New YORK, Nov. 22.-With favor
able weather prevailing one OF the
greatest crowds on record will see
the Yale eleven face the Princeton
tigers on Manhattan field tomorrow.
The game will be by far the most inn
portant of the year and will decide
the championship of the two rival
football leagues. Both teams are
confident of success, but prominent
critics on whose Judgment one may
rely with reasonable certainty, We're
reserying their opinions of the two
elevens and their answer to all qder-
les Is that the result OF the game is
exceedingly doubtful. This year the
records of the two teams have diff
fered much from their records in sea-
sons past. In the record of cham
pionship games between the two
teams Yale has made the best show
ing, but Prineeton's record this sea-
son is far better than Yale's, and the
tigers seem confident of adding
another victory to their string
Both teams are spending today in
their final practice work and accord
ing to the coaches both will make
their appearance on the gridiron in
the pink OF condition.

NOT lMMODEST.
Riding The bike Neither Uus.gaiaod Nor
Conspicuous.

Riding the bicycle has ceased to be
either undignified or conspicuous,
writes John Gilmer Speed. Several
years ago a bishop denounced the
practice by women as immodest and
therefore immoral. An immodest
woman ON bicycle would surely
be immodest STILL the wheel not
having any power to save her, but
an immodest woman would be i'm
modest walking in the street or
sitting in church, or wherever
she might be. The bicycle has
nothing whatever to do with
modesty or immodesty,T with NOR
ality or immortality; and when the
pions bishop uttered his denuneia-
tion of the machine and its use his in
tellectuals must have been befuddled
by too much bordering on subjects
too hard or too easy for him. But
his dictum has not counted for
much, Tor the bicycle is growing
in popularity every day, and the
manufacturers. one of whom at
least is turning out one hundred
machines a day, have difficulty in
filling the orders that are sent to
them.

EXCISE COMMISSIONERS.

Assessor Trimble's request for an ex-
tension of the time in which report
upon the taxable values of the District
was to have been made, calls attention to
the necessity of separating the duties of a
board of assessors from those of a board
of excise commissioners. Both are now
imposed upon the assistant assessors OF the
District and the natural consequence is that
one of them has had TO be neglected.
No man, nor set of men, can give exclusive
attention to two important subjects and
that is what the board of assistan mt assessors
has been supposed 10 do and, of course,
cannot accomplish.
There is no reproach contained in this
statement of facts for the gentlemen com
posing the board, for they have done all
that time and opportunity permitted. The
respective duties, however, of carefully ap-
praising the value of the real estate of
large and constantly growing and i'm
proving city and passing upon several
hundred applications for saloon licenses, are
quite heavy enough to engage all the time
and all the energy of two separate and dis
tinct sets of functionaries. One cannot
we'll imagine two classes of official duties
more incongruous than those now devolving
upon the board of assistant assessors.
That Assessor TrinIble's request for an
extension of time will be granted admits of
no doubt, but Congress ought also to make
provision for relieving the assessors of the
duty of examining into the thousand and
one intricate questions connected with the
issue of liquor licenses. OF this kind OF
work there is enough TO do to keep Il board
of commissioners busy a good portion of
the year, and at those periods in which their
excise labors slackened little other en-
pIoyment might be found for them from
some of the various overcrowded bureaus

these men. They have large number of
customers. the majority of whom would be
swept away from them by the proposed
change. for these would decline to go
two or three squares, especially In bad
weather, but would prefer TO make their
purchases inside. In this way men, who,
as Gen. 0rdway says have done business
there for thirty or forty years and lave
no other source ofincome, would be deprived
with one blow OF their chief means TO
earn living for themselves and their
families.
So lar as known there has been no public

PATRIOT AMERICAN JEWS.
Hon. Simon VOLTS Book on the New
World Hebrew

Hon. Simon Wolf of this city has just
issued an interesting and comprehensive
volume of $40 pages entitled The Amer
lean Jew as Patriot, Soldier and Citizeu."
Four years has been devoted to the gather
ing of statistics and the compilation of
data. The result is shown in a valuable
addition tn historical literature.
The work of revision and COLA ton was
performed by Louis Edward Levy of Phila-
dephia. The proceeds derived from the
sale of the book will be donated TO the
orphan house of the order OF Bnai Birth
at Atlanta, Ga, of which Mr. Wolf is 4
leading patron.
From the period preceding the revolu-
tionary war tn the present time the i'm
portant services rendered by Jewish cit
liens to the United States is carefully re-
viewed, the impelng motive being desire
on the part of the author to enforce
recognition Of his people as a militant
factor in the upbullding of the State, aud
of Judaism as primal force in the fur
therance of civilization.
By the exhaustive statistics collected,
but which must of necessity still be incom-
plete Mr.. Wolf shows that S.25T Jews

States at that period was but 150. 600.
After referring to the good work accom-
plished by his people in relieving the sick
and dist tressed. Mr.. Wolf sums their claim
20 recognition as follows:
Not alone in dealing with conditions
that are iiiseparabie from the social sys-
tenn but Furthermore in dealing with such
as are remova bic, in educating and lifting
up those OF the community who are in
need of fostering love; in furthering the
spread of intelligence. and in raising the
standard of citizenship, the Jewish people
have been increasingly active. and espe-
cialIy SO in free America, where they have
stood from the very beginning shoulder to
shoulder with their fellow citizens Of
every creed, in every movement that has
been made for freedom and liberty. for
culture and charity. nd well they might.
To no others of the Old World denizens was
the New World more completely new: for
no other people has the promise OF the
Columbian enoch been more completely
fulfilled than for the Jews"

Emory. of the gunbOat Petrcl.
1t is said at the State Department that
the services rendered by United States
Ministers Dun and DENLY to China and
Japan during the continuance of Eustilities
between those countries can hardly be over
estimated. Acting under instructions from
this government the two ministers served as
a diplomatic CONDUIT through which all
the negotiations, which resulted in the
treaty of peace, were carried
The admirable temper and sound judg-
ment displayed by them impressed the
Japanese and Chinese governments most
favorably. II is not unlikely that when
each minister rctur.'s to private life he
will be the recipient of more substantial
evidence of the appreciation in which he
is held By the two EnperoTs.
