A SINGULAR FEUD.
Brothers Who Fell Out About n Matri-

Brothers Who Fell Out About n Mntri-
monial Arrangement.
From the San Francisco Post.
THE queerest feud I ever heard Of" said
M. c. Allen, the well-known sportsman, "is
one that I encountered while hunting in
southern Humboldt county. I noticed our
guide carried a repeating rifle, a big re-
volver and a knife half as long as his leg
He proceeded with the greatest caution,
and appeared to be on guard continually.
I knew there were 20 hostile Indians in
that country, and my curiosity was
aroused. Finally, I asked him what the
trouble was.

Inquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt some
years ago. and our guide, who was mar
ried, had left pretty sister-in-law in
Sweden. The brothers talked the matter
over, and finally agreed that the married
one should send for the girl, and when she
reached this country he would give his old
wife to his brother and take his sister-in-
law.
1.-The girl arrived in due time, but she was
so much prettier than the unmarried broth
er had expected that he was loath to &C.
cept his brothers cast-off wife. Finally,
he married the girl. and then refused to
compromise the breach of contract by pay
ing what his brother had expended in get
ting her to this coast. A quarrel followed.
and the guide pinked his brother in the
shoulder with a rifle ball and landed him
in the hospital for three months. The
other vowed vengeance, and they do little
now but watch the mountain trails. fully
prepared to renew hostilities at seconds
notice.

The Grammatical Rule.
From the Philadelphia Call.


From time to time examinations Of class
es in the elementary schools are conducted
under the auspices of the superintendent Of
public schools in order to test the work Of
teachers. In the early days Of the superiu-
tendency teachers who expected visit
from one Of the assistant superintendent
would carefully drill their pupils and pre-
pare them to go on dress parade" In one
of these cases the children had been taught
to recite a number of words, which included
an array of nouns, verbs. adjectives, adj
verbs etc, in measured quantity.
What is fully?" asked the teacher.
"Adverbr shouted the class.
"And this?" as she wrote surely on the
board.
"Adverbw again responded the young
sters.
And what is this?" queried the assistant
superintendent, writing THE fly has wings"
and pointing to fly"
"Adverb. Justify exclaimed the class.
"And why is it an adverb?'
"Cause 1t ends in ly,'" was the confident
answer.

Yale admirers. Both men can make it in
O.10 when they are at their best. Wilding

who is somewhat variable, should do as

Fitz Herbert is looked on as a sure win

Capt. Sheldon, with % feet inches, will
take the running broad jump, or ''long

jumps ri feet inches.
Johnston and Jennings of Cambridge
claim feet inches and feet inches,
respectively, in the high jump. but can
probably do better. Thompson OF Yale has
done feet 10 3-4 inches, and Capt Sheldon
can be relied upon for ) feet inches.
There is no doubt In the minds of Yale
men about the shot putting and the ham,
mer throwing, with Hickok. Cross and
Brown in the field, but the hurdles are full
of uncertainty, and the falls that are al
ways liable to occur in those events make
an accurate prediction very difficult.
SanfOrd's Case.
One of the pleasant Incidents of the meet
ing has been the courtesy shown each other
by the captains of the opposing teams.
Sanford was officially announced as men,
Der of the Yale team by Capt Sheldon.
There was slight question as to whether
Sanford was eligible, owing to a "condi-
ton" he had in his studies last spring.
On being asked If the decision allowing
Sanford to compete was agreeable to him.
Capt. Koran of the English team said:
YES. Capt. Sheldon asked if We had any
objections to his taking part. He told me
that Sanford's failure to compete in the
last games with Harvard had nothing to do

The Visiting Athletes.
The Cambridge athletes babe farewell to
their quarters at New Haven Monday and
came to this city and have continued their
practice at Berkeley Oval. The Cambridge
athletes are a well-bred lot of men. There
is none of the cockney or snob about them,
and their appearance at all public places
has been so uncommonly unassuming, as
compared with American collegians, that
they have made host of friends.
The Britishers have been at work on the
Yale field pretty much every day since they
reached New Haven. They seldom rode to
the field, which is about couple of miles
from their hotel, and they never returned
flom the field in a carriage or in the cleo
trio cars although the latter passed their
hotel and ran as far out as the field. They
are great walkers, and appear to thorough

the practice ground. They made no demon

field. and to the uniformed would never be

ing gait, as the athletic representatives of

Capt. Koran said on leaving New Haven
been feeling quite well for few days and
attributed their indisposition to the sudden
changes in the weather. to which they are
not accustomed, but he hoped they would
be in good condition before the games.

Representatives of Two Great Uni
versities Meet.
CAMBRIDGE AND YALE ON THE TURF
Contests Of Strength and Speed on
Manhattan Field.
THE TEAMS COMP AIRED

NEW YORK, October 5.-The athletic
meeting Of the representatives OF Cam
bridge University and Yale University on
Manhattan field this afternoon will be the
first international meet of its kind held in
this country.
Not until this season has an English
team visited this side of the Atlantic. An
Irish team journeyed across in 1887, but
could not do more than make a tame show
ing against the athletes of Manhattan.
This year, however, the London Athletic
Club sent a team across, and every one
knows about the glorious victory achieved
by the representatives of the N. Y. A. c.
There will be eleven events on the card,
as follows: observation-disclosures dash, three
hundred-yard run, running broad jump
sixteen-pound hammer throwing, putting
the shot two hurdle races. one-mile run.
half-mile run, quarter-mile run and high
jump.
The Two Teams.
The makeup of the teams is as follows:
YALE CAMBRIDGE.
One-hUndred- yard dash One hundred yard dash
Burnett and Richards. Williams and Wilding
Three hlndred-yard dash Three hundred yard dash
richards and Byers. Levin and FftziIerbert

The Prospects.
The 300-yard dash ard the turf hurdles
are not usually included in American
games. and the American hurdle race is
new to the Englishmen, so that there is a
division of difficulties, according to the
Yale view Of the situation.
Richards has proved very fast in the 300
yard dash, and is expected by Yale men to
win it. Levin and Fitz Herbert cover that
dstaLce in 0.315. If Williams were in first
class condition he would give Richards a

TO STOP GLOVE CONTESTS.
The Virginia Legislature Likely t.
Amend the Law.

Amend the Law.
1t is very likely that the Virginia legis-
lature at this session will be asked to
amend the law prohibiting prize fighting SO
as to include glove contests Gov. O'Fer-
rail- yesterday expressed great satisfaction
at that feature of the law just enacted by
Texas. 1t is expected that the executive
will make some such recommendation to
the legislature. Such an amendment, it Is
believed, would protect the Alexandria
county people from incursions of Washing
ton and other spectators who cross the
river ostensibly to have these contests, but
really to conduct prize fights.

They Love Their Pastor.

No church ever had q more
 worthy pastor than Riverside iias at present, and no pastor ever had more loyal congregation than Rev.
 Brewer has had this year. Rev.
 Brewer is faithful to every duty devolving upon d consecrated min- istry. He fills his pulpit from Sabbath to Sabbath, and during
 the week he is found out among the common people, breaking with them the bread of life. When the services at the church are over you will find Rev. Brewer standing in
 the door shaking hands with every
 man, woman and child as they leave the church, and he never fails
 to speak some kind word to you as you go out, that will make you feel good for the next week to come. Now I have written the above as a preface to what follows. No con
 gregation will permit sncii kindness to go by unrewnrded. Rev. Brewers congregation are ever and
 anon giving him 'poundings," and doing many things to make thei,. pastor feel good.
 1t devolved upon me the other day to take up subscription
 for the purpose of getting our
 pastor conference suit. It was the most pleasant task l ever per formed. started outto get $l5 and
 expected it to take me ut least three or four days. but in less than one full days work 1 had $30 in cash.
 It was the only subscription ever
 took that l did not have to go
 around half dozen times to collect.
 In this instance everybody paid the cash down. Another thing pleasant
 about it, not one raised murmur. or complaint of any kind. All { seemed not only willing, hut anx- ious to contribute something. Sc we got our pastor a nice suit and his vile q nice dress, and everybody feels good over it.
 May God bless our pastor and his congregation. W II. DEAN.

THE ORIGIN OF DIXIE. , etRcuMsTAN SURROUNDING THE COMPOSING OF THE BEAUTIFUL
 SOUTHERN SONG.
An Interview With It's Author and Com pose. Daniel D Emmett. Who Is In His s1st year-A Hale and sprightiy Old
 Man

Today a reporter of the GRAPHIC
 was granted an interview by Mir. Daniel D. Emmett. the dis tinquished author and composer of "Dixie," a song that has been sung iu every State in this land of ours since 1859. and although thirty-six years have been rolled backward in the shade of the past, no other song or tune as ever been able to supplant it in popular favor, and at this date when it's stirring melody strikes the ear the hearts Of the hearers are forced to respond with a quickened pulsation that no other American musical creation has ever been able to produce.
 Danniel D. Emmett was born in Mt. Vernon, Knox county, Ohio, on the 29th day of October, 1915, conse- quently he is in his Slst year; yet, notwithstanding this fact. the GRAPHIC reporter found him to be a remarkably bright and joyous old man, possessing all of his faculties to tt marked degree, and with nature as bouyant and happy as that Of a man with less than half hisload of years.
 It is well known fact that Mr. Emmett is of q retiring disposition and averse to unnecessary notorfety He has lived on his farm at Mt. 1 Vernon for the last twelve years, and l in all that period he never intimated 1 by word or deed, to his relations or most intimate friends, that he was a composer with national fame, and, had not Mir. AL J. Fields ex- posed this fact in the town when he engaged MT. Emmett for his min Istrels it would. perhaps, not been know to this day that the old farm er-looking man who daily walked the streets of Vernon, was a man of such national notoriety.
 Mir. Emmett tells the following cir cumstances connected with his early life and how he came to compose
 "Dixie:'
 In the spring of 1859 he was engaged with Bryant's Minstrels, 472. New York. His line of business was to compose the new songs
 negro "walkrounds' and act as
 musician when called on. 1t was on
 one Saturday evening after the per formance MT. Jerry Bryant overlook him on his way home aud requested him to make new swalkround, one that would suit the "boys" have
 a lively mir and q catchy chorus.
 Next day being sunday and raining 1 hard all day and, not being able to % out of the house, he sat down and composed Dixie" as it is now sung l throughout the Union, both North l and South.
 sDixie' was sung throughout the
