A SOCIETY EVENT.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 26.-Perhaps
the most unique game Of football ever
witnessed In this country was played
at Citizens park this afternoon be-
tween picked eleven from Yale and
Princeton universities and the Mem
pills Athletic club. The varsity men
won the game easily by Il score of IS
to o.
This is the first time In the history
of college football that the sons of
ELI ana the men from old Nashua
have stood side by side In q line up.
The AFFAIR was made the occasion OF a
great society event In Memphis, and
hundreds OF society folks from towns
and cities nearby came In last night
ana early this morning to see the big
men from the East play foot ball The
day was an ideal one. bright sum
shine burst through the clouds before
noon, and tempered the rather cold
southwest wind to degree OF COM
fort.
AS carly as 2 o'clock people began to
pour into the park and at $3.50 when
play began fair estimate placed the
number present at 1000, There lie but
little to tell about the contest. From
the moment the play began II could
be seen by those familiar with the
game that the local boys were far out
classed, but they pluckily fought their
sturdy opponents from the East. The
first touch down was made by Bing-
ham, after Ave minutes play. Wheeler
kicked a goal. Pope secured the sec
ond touch down for the visitors, while
W neeler added another goal to his
string. Poe. after brilliant run of %
yards. made the third touch down from
the varsity team but Wheeler failed
TO kick the goal. Bingham next made
a beautiful run Of fifty yards and
made the fourth touch down for the
visitors. Wheeler this time kicked a
goal.
The first half was called with the
score standing 22 to o against the
Memphislans.
In the second half the mixed team
had everything its own way and touch
. downs were made successfully by Poe
Brown and Wheeler the latter fail.

dangerous to give the people any
thing that would be safe invest
ment, for they might be inclined to
draw their money out of the saw
ings banks and trust companies,
and the securities those companies
hold might be thrown upon the
market.
I should like to know where the
stocks of the railroad companies
are. I understand that they have
gone out of the market to the extent
of nearly million shares-$10O,-
900, 900. Where are they? Are
they in the banks7 If they are
those who hold such securities
had better take warning because
on a gold basis they must continue
to depreciate. If they depend upon
the ability of the United States to
buy gold and pay premium on it
(and that is the only way we can
get gold) the stocks of railroads
and of all corporations of every
description, including their bonds,
must shrink and continue to shrink,
and depreciate in the market.
The time is coming when this
process of contraction will shake
the foundation fall the institutions
in the land. 1t was a dangerous
experiment to depreciate the value
of commodities in this country,
your wheat and cotton. To COM
pei them to be sold for gold, thus
enhancing the value of gold to the
disuse of silver, was a dangerous
experiment. Those who undertook
the experiment did not realize that
they were destroying the founda-
ton of the prosperity of the country
and destroying the security which
they held.
