by tile reader that the players whom We

again is not tue fault of the composer. The

without a little retrospect. Even as We

ballers are on their way back home to their
former occupations in Detroit, New York
and St Louis. They are going home to vote
for more sound money
By the same token it may be remarked
that the Washington cyclone carried away

The tennis racket is becoming out of

only history, and the only two remaining
issues are the ballroom and the gridiron.
The preparation for the football clIrricu-

said so thorough as to have excluded that
complete preparation in classics mathe-
matics and modern English required by
most of our institutions of higher learn

for the football teams of these colleges
to vindicate themselves at the spring ex-

On the contrary MI Watson has been
putting in four hours day kicking pig
skin effigy of Hon. a rthur Sewan Of Bath,
Me. The invidious reports as to Mr. Wat
son being in bad form this season have
been traced to Hon. Hoke Smith, also OF
Georgia, and who will not be in it this
season on account of his La W pra ctice, and
the Hon. David Francis of Missouri, now
Secretary OF Interior.
Reports are equally cheering from the
local headquarters Of the Republican Con
gre ssional committee. Chairman Bah
cock said yesterday that Hon. Thomas
Brackett Reed had so far progressed
in his practice for the coming great inter
state football game that he, Reed, was
now able to fall down on the ball'' with
out extraneous assistance. Mr. Reed
is further credited with being able 10 fall
down on it either backwards, forwards, or
Iateraliy, according to the exigency or the
emergency.
This has been denied by Chairman Faulk-
per in a bulletin. which has been. counter
signed both by Left Tackle Gardner ana
Center Push Norris. We merely give the
facts as they come to use from both head
quarters.

There has not been that marrying and Civ

then, not much of rsycl clolcgical puzzle

take the field in self-defensc, or offense,
as the case may be. Washington society
will probably be one OF the notwithstanding
fields on which to watch the game because
there are but precious few eligible parties
yet unmuzzled or unmartyred. Readers
of the society columns will have noted that
the news from the seaside and mountain
resorts has not been what was expected.
Announcements Of engagements have not
been very frequent, and, really, all the
actual business in that line has been done
by the lady typewritists, who have stayed
at home and kept steady company with
other young people who were obliged to
stay at home.

LONG DRAWN GAME.
We present for candid consideration
picture Of the American people. The pic
ture is labeled Free Coinage, which Is
only riguratlve representation of the
people as they have been kicked, cuffed,
cram,ned, crowned and crucified by the
orators on both sides of the financial ques-
tion. This pigslin, which represents the
American people, has been in play now for
about nine months, and is preparing for
the last touchdown on The Sd of November.
1t is case in which the managers OF
the game have got there with both feet
while the people. classes, ma sses and asses,
have been in the game only TO the ex-
tent Of having nothing TO do with 1t eN-
cept To howl Itself hoarse to the tune Of
sixteen To one or thereabouts. 1t is never
theless some consolation that only ne-half
OF the people at time can get lost on
downs in the game whic his now on.
While the game proper Is not half bad
thing. special attention is directed to the
single combat between Hector and Ajax
or, as they call them nowadays, Tom Wat
son and Arty Sewall. 1t was agreed be-
tween silver Quarter Back Jones, of Ar
kansas, Right End Butler, of Tar Heel, and
Left End Stevens, OF All About, that Tom
and Arty should settle the right to the
kick orr in asingle handedand quadruped
scrap. We had an artist and surgeon on
the spot where the thing was pulled Off,
but we were obliged to leave them where
they were at. and where they are shown
In the picture at the hour of going To press.
1t will be noticed, in yindication of our
artistic verisilimitude, that the gentleman
The morning times., 1896-10-04
rom Georgia is still holding on to the prize

from Georgia is still holding ON to the prize
with his jaw.
The Intelligent reader will also observe
in this connection that there are Two
gentlemen who are running away from
this Single combat of Thomas and Arthur.
THESE two gentlemen sprinters nave Tor
the past six months had monopoly or
the wires and special correspondence. They
are pugihsts They went out to see the
Vice-Presideutial prize fight for the pig
skin and are making their escape just as
the Pops aud the Demopops and the Silver
mons ioined in the fight. The man in the
picture, who is entirely invisible in the mix
up. is the referee. Dis ting scares us;
See?
But this side issue of the gentleman from
Georgia audtbe gentlemanfrom Maine will
be Il zephyr to our recent midnight visitor
from the West Indies when compared to
the lineup for the great battle Of the Sd
of November. Tbinklof a lineup which
will include Right Tackle Reed, Center
Mark Hanna, and Right Guard Garret A
Hobart, whose aggregate weight is 1lo
pounds, or more than 260 pounds to the
square foot.
Think OF Right Half Back made entirely
out of John NJ. Palmer, and weep for the
effeminate games they used to play IN
the arena in the Coliseum with half-starved
gladiators and lions that hadn't had
full meal snce they left Africa or Asia
even, in a bail boat bound for Rome. Think
Of Ben jamln F. Harrison in his grandfather's
helmet and the knee pants OF the Van
Duycks, OF New York, as he forms the apex,
as it were, OF the flying wedge as it will
impale itself in the hair facial and cerebral
OF him of Bleeding and still Bloody Kansas,
surnamed Pefferiskers. By our collective

GOLD STANDARD WIVES.
In general wherever gold is at premium
the daughters of Eve are at premium
In Ireland no lady accepts any gentleman
who has not under cultivation at least a
quarter of an acre of potatoes. In Germany
the applicant must have some trade or
other visible means of support; and In
France the government is now offering
marriage dot to any lady who Will marry
the ordinary Frenchmau. In England,
Cruel, tyrannical, bloody Rothschild-rid-
den England a barmaid is a queen, and
has plenty of beer for perpetuity, and
also bread and cheese until the world wags
her way in the matrimonial line. An ini-
pecunious Engiishmau has as much chance
ofmarryingan nEugiishwomanasa a thorough
bred American has OF marrying au American
heiress.
Taking it all in all the institutions OF
the Fathers We're thc best when it comes to
the chances OF matrimony. Most of US
who are now living came into the world
regardless of the crime of '73, and wouldnt
have known anything about 1t, had 1t not
been for this campaign Of education Now,
however, that the hose has been turned on
