Cambridge, Mass, Oct 19.-Inside OF
three weeks Harvard must face the Prince
ton Tigers and attempt to wipe out the de-
feat Of last November. II Harvard should
meet Princeton today, there is little doubt
that the Crimson would suffer a crushing
defeat, chiefly because the four weeks
ofpracuce just completed have been devoted
principally TO the development of Individual
ability, and the team asa wholehas not been
selected as yet.
The fact is that Harvard has had too
much good material To allow an early choice.
There are still over fifty men with the
varsity squad and outside OF half Il dozen
men there are SO many very evenly matched
In ability that it is extremely difficult to re-
duce the squad in numbers.
The time has come, however, when the
eleven must be chosen, and the time re-
manning before the Princeton contest is
none too long to build up system of
team play
Last week was rather unsatisfactory in
some respects. The weather was most I'M
favorable, and between heavy winds and
constant rains little headway was made.
Harvard has no end of work before her
AT present there is very little team play,
and none of the backs are doing any sub
the eleven virtually decided upon, and there
should be considerable advance in team
work.

of the poems were written after the au

Charlotte NJ. Yonge's latest story is
called "The Release; or, Caroline's

with the life and adventures of an i'm
petuous young English lady of French
descent.
Prof. Skeat has prepared volume

Lord Rosebery's two addresses on

CAUSES OF NEGRO MORTALITY.
Efforts Being Made to Discover the Reason
of the Large Death Rate In Cities.

Efforts Being Made to Discover the Reason
of the Large Death Rate In Cities.
An unusually interesting pamphlet
has been printed in Atlanta univer-
sity about the conference held there
last spring for the Investigation of
City Problems" The astonishing death
rate among the colored people-in some
of the southern cities it is twice that
of the whites-becomes less surprising
when one calmly reviews its causes.
The close crowding due to poverty, the
utter neglect of white landlords and
the complete ignorance of the laws of
health invite all sorts of disease. For
sickness there is small chance of re-
covery, without hospitals, dispensaries,
nurses and often without doctors.
There is no chance for fresh-air in their
houses and alleys, and in some instances
parks are forbidden them; there are
neither gymnasia nor Fairgrounds for
the children. The wonder is that the
death rate is not greater.
With such physical conditions we may
rightly expect the criminal statistics
to be what they are. Clear conceptions
of right and wrong are hard to find
among such ignorance, poverty and dis
ease. While this accounts for, it does
not excuse, the crime, but now that the
investigators understand the cause,
they are going to begin at the bottom
and try to better the physical condi-
ton of the people.
There must be health boards, hos;
pitfalls, reformatories, dispensaries and
free clinics. Yet the colored people
must rely wholly upon themselves to
obtain them, without influence and
without money. 1t may look discour-
aging, but they are not afraid. The
beginnings will have to be small, yet
it is amazing how much can be done
through voluntary associations, such as
building loan associations, mothers
meetings, mutual benefit associations,
home improvement societies and par
ents' associations. A great deal of this
work is already being done among the
negroes, but it needs to be systematized
and extended.
The coming year will be spent in
gathering statistics as to the manner of
life of the people, their resources, and
greatest needs. At the next confer
ence plans will be discussed for organ
lied work. Ere long a wide interest
must certainly be felt in this movement,
which means so much to both races in
the south. The work is being done not
only for the negro, but for the public
good. To ameliorate their own condi-
ton is to elevate the standing of the
city, mental, moral and physical. If
the city will not do it for them, they
will do it for the city. And may they
prosper in their neutrality-suspicious.
