there are to this, but it is not nee.
essary to cite them here. In respect
to the consideration, deeds are much
the same as other contracts, and as
the matter of the necessity of con-
siderations for contracts has been
explained by Mr.. Neill when treat
ing of that subject we can pass to
the next requirement.
We have already considered gen
orally the operative words of con-
veyance used, and | will now simp-
ly mention the operative words pre-
scribed by the statutes of this state
for the different forms of statutory
deeds, of which there are three, viz:
Warranty, bargain and sale, and
quit claim. The words for convey
ance by warranty deed in this state
are convey and warrant" and they
create covenants on the part of the
grantor. THAT he was lawfully
seized of an indefeasable estate in
fee simple. in the premises described
and had right and full power to
convey the same. 3 That the
same are free from incumb rances.
3-That he warrants to the grantee
and his assigns the quiet and peace
able possession of the premises and
will defend the title thereto against
all persons who may lawfully lay
claim thereto.
In a bargain and sale deed the
words used are bargain, sell and
convey" and the grantor thereby
conveys fee simple title, and COW
enants to the grantee that he is
seized of an indefeasable estate in
fee simple, free from incumbrance
done or suffered from the grantor,
except such rents and services as
may be reversed; as also for the
quiet enjoyment against the grantor
or his representatives. For quit
claim deed the statutory words are
convey and quitclaim" and simply
convey all rights then existing in
the grantor, but does not extend to
after scquired title unless so ex-
pressed by further words. We now
come to the execution.
BY the execution of deed are
meant the various formalities re-
quired by law for it's completion,
which include signing (and in some
states sealing( attestation, acknowl-
edging, and according to some re-
cent authorities, delivery. A deed
may be execute by the grantor or
an agent authorized to act for him
in the premises. To enable an agent
to execute deed for his principal,
a power of attorney, executed by
the principal, with all the formal
tiles of a deed is necessary, the rule
of agency being that the power
must be of the same grade Of in
strume1t as that which the agent
is to execute. At common law, as
has been stated, it was not neces.
sary for the parties to sign the deed,
but under our laws it is absolutely
necessary, and to enable illiterate
persons and persons so afflicted as
to be unable to sign, one may at
his request and in his presence sign
his name and by afixing a mark
to the signature, the grantor adopts
the signature as his own, and the
deed will be valid. At common
law sealing was an important fac.
tor in the execution of deed. This
arose from the fact that very few o

Danger in Football.

The football season 10 over, and its cas-.
ualty list--that Of tho dead and wounded
is the largest OF any year since the Rugby
game was adopted by our colegians. That
1t is SO large is mainly due to the fact that
ten lads play Rugby now to one that en-
gagged in it four years ago. AS a matter
Of fact 1t is the game which has taken
prominence over all other in college cir
Giles. Many newspapers have criticised the
game severely on account of the brutal
ity" while others have defended 1t as Wig
orously, claiming that its 'roughness' is
more apparent than real. | am passonately
fond of sports of all kinds and in my
youth l devoted good deal to football
not TO the Rugby game-but the one In
which the ball was kicked all over the
field. and not merely over the goals lu
that kind OF football there was great dan
ger of parked shins for we bad no guards
for them In those days. but there was very
little danger of broken ribs or strained
backs That game was not as scientific as
Rugby, but was far less dangerous. A
great deal livelier in play and exciting
enough in all conscience
Why should we take our football from
England? Why not play an American style
Of game, which would lessen the danger to
the lives and hmbs OF its players? 1t
Wouldn be dllncult 10 devise sucn
game, and | hope 1t may be done-let me
tell you one of the great causes of players
being hurt at the Rugby game. 1t is the
presence of ladies among the spectators
The young players are like a lot of young
Indians showing off before the maidens OF
their tribe. Most of them are the sons of
good families" They are in the full flush
of young manhood. but their minds age not
as mature as their muscles They want to
show their ruDtlgrS their Siefprg their
cousins. their aunts. and their female
friends kenerally that though they are
gentlemen" they can be as tough as
the burlest stevedorc on occasion The
smiles of beauty urged them to do their
utmost to secure victory. They see the
waving flags and futteriug lace handker-
chiefs In the grandstand. and on the top Of
the tallyhos. and they forget all else In
their struggles for the appreciation which
ladies always bestow on those who are
brave. and especially are recklessly so.
Keep the fair ones off the football field,
and there will not be one man hurt then
where five are injured now.

LITTLE MEN BENEFITED,
Exchange.

Exchange.
There have been two radical changes IN
the rules Of baseball that have had a curl.
Gus effect on the game The changes in
question were the abolition of the dis,lnc
ton between the high and low ball. max.
ing any ball good between the knee and
shoulder, and removing the p'tcher's pos,-
ton farther from the batter. The result Is
curious because 1t seems to have exactly
reversed the former order as to the battery.
1t used to be that all the leading batters
were big men. Under the present rules
they are mostly smaller men.
Formerly We expected as a matter OF
course to see some big man at the head OF
the list. and for years Arson, Brouthers.
Conner. Kelly, Gore. Dalrymple, Hines and
men Of that size had 1t all their own way.
But in recent years the smaller men have
gone to the front. Burkett, who has led
the league the past two years with remark.
able averages. ia a small man. jennings,
who was formerly poor batter. and whom
Manager Barnie had to release from Louis
Vile for that reason, is now'\a wonderful
batter. though in size IL larger than Burts-
EFT. Little Billy" Keller, who is but little
bigger than Tot" Murphy, is one Of the
hardest hitters in the game
And so as you examine the records you
will see that the majority of the big hit
tiers in the game today are medium sized
or small men. And this Ia so, apparently,
not because the big men have gone back,
for Delehanty Arson, Thompson. Conner
and such others are still good stlckers, but
because the smaller men have come for
ward. The addition of the distinction be-
tween the high and low balls affects short
men less than the taller. because the form
er have less space to guard.
And the removal of the pitchers position
gave the small men chance for their
lives AT the short distance the principal
consideration in the mind Of small man
when he faced the terrific speed OF Rusie
WAS to avoid being hit himself. But as soon
as he got the pitcher far enough away to
give him fair chance to dodge he ac-
quired the confidence necessary to stand
up and hit the bail. Fear OF serious bodily
injury always was the main cause of poor
hitting, and big men used to lead. not be-
cause Of their ability but because the rules
favored them.

PITCHERS RECORDS.

Henry Chadwick. the famous baseball
statistician, has compiled the following In
teresting records of the leading pitchers
Of each league club this year,
AS the official pitching records have not
been published yet, l have made up a
table, showing the leading pitcher OF each
OF the twelve clubs for 1896. In which tbs
record of each pitchers percentage OF vic
tories pitched in is given, not only in the
aggregate for the season against all the
clubs. but also those in which each pitcher
pitched against the first and second divis-
ion clubs separately; as also the column
showing the average Of runs earned In
each game by the combination of base
hits. stolen bases. and the special errors
base stealing leads to. In addition there
is the column of base hit averages OF each
OF the twelve pitchers who lead in percent
age OF victories figures. the names being
given In the order of the highest aggre-
gate percentage. Here is the record in
question;

New Ysrk, December l.--tcorrsspcndenes
Of the Republic. 1.-THE fortnight Just
passed has been . most notable one In
pugilistio circles. George Dixon. once
thousht invinoible, has had a decision given
against him In his bout with Frank Erne;
Jack Everhardt has knocked out Billy
Earnst; Jimmy Ryan Of Cincinnati has
fought draw with Tommy Tracy. not long
since believed to be tho best ten-stone man
In the world: Jack Downey. who has fought
several draws with Erne. has beaten John
ny German. and Kid Mcfarland has lam
basted Jack Hanley. These were all promi-
nent flstic events There were a dozen
minor ones. but all sink into insiGnifcance
when compared to tho fight between Bob
Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey. the sailor
boy. and its queer ending.
F'itz found the sailor boy a much tougher
proposition than he anticipated. He had
"siscd him up" on tho form he showed
In his setto with John l.. Sullivan In Madi-
son Square Garden. and he made a false
estimate OF the mans ability. At the time
said that the exhibition was not true test
OF Sharkey's form, as he had been warned
against hitting Sullivan hard, and as he Is
n man who must bit bard or make no
showing at all, he did but poorly with the
ex champion of champions. AS Fltzsim
mons left the garden that night he ex
pressed the opinion that he could do him
with punch" lie knows better now. He
had an idea that he could hit Sharkey when
and where he pleased, and only last Tues
day he said
This is clnch 1t will be short
fight, like all my others. and will do him
in a fifty"
This talk inspired his friends With such |
confidence that hundreds OF dollars were
bet even up that Bob would win in six |
rounds. All this money was lost. Another |
instance Of the old adage that.

Is very unfortunate for Mr. Earp that he

most people believe that Fitzsimmons was
robbed OF his victory and they will con-

of Sharkey made Immediately after the
fight that he was so severely injured by
the alleged foul blow as to be incapacitated
thereby from the ability to defend himself

WHAT a theater of the future the
great Pacific ocean is going to
be. The great questions of the
world are going to be'played upon
its stage. We, at present, are des-
tined to see but the glimmering
lights of the side scenes, but the
next century will see the full dress
rehearsals and perhaps some of the
great tragedy. All life is to an
extent tragedy, but the greatest
of tragedies is the life of nations.
Eastern and western civilizations
will meet her with crash. 1t is a
good thing for the civilization Of
the world that the mighty republic
of the United States and the quasi
republican colonies of the South
are building up their powers and
establishing those free Anglo
Saxons institutions which are the
root of greatness and of happiness.
