Death of n well-Known Pressman.

Deatn Oh II "cI1.hHO"n FRESHMAN
The old-time printers and pressmen of this
city will regret to learn of the death of Co.
lumbus Hall, last employed in the press
room of the government printing Office. Mr..
Hall died yesterday afternoon at his resi-
dence, No. 1121 G street northeast, of lung
trouble. He had been ill for a number of
months. Few men in his calling enjoyed so
wide and universal an acquaintance among
the craft. Though extremely modest and
unassL ming, his interest in the affairs of
the trade organization with which he was
connected inevitably brought Mr.. Hall into
prominence, and for number of years he
held high Office in the International Typo
graphical Union. At the convention held in
Kansas City, Mo-, he was elected second vice
president, and at the convention of 1890,
which assembled at Atlanta, Ca, he became
one of the trustees Of the Childs-Drexel
Home for Union Printers, position which
he filled for five years with credit to himself
and with advantage to the organization.
Mr.. Hall represented the very best type Of
the American workingman. He was a mas
ter of his trade. He was credit to himself
and to the community in his habits and in
tercourse, and when left a widower, some
five years ago, he extended to his motherless
children a devotion which best portrayed
the sterling qualities Of the man.. The body
will be inferred at Glenwood cemetery Sun
day afternoon, and his friends will assemble
at his late residence at o'clock on that day.

CANADIANS WON EASILY.

Baltimore Hockey Players Beaten ut
the Skating Rink.
The skating ring at Convention Hall was
crowded last evening, the special attraction
being a game of hockey between the cham
pion intercollegiate hockey team of Canada
from the Queens University and an All-Bal-
tlmore team, comprising some of the best
skaters and hockey players in this part of
the country, the game being won by the
former team by a score of Z to 0. The
Canadian team Is on a trip through the
United States, and the team which Balti-
more has put out to stop their victorious
round is reliably the strongest American
team. The game was one of a series which
mas peen an anged between the two teams,
and will help to settle the question of
where the championship of the continent
shall lie.
The contest was in two halves Of fifteen
minutes; ard was started about o'clock.
While the Baltimore team is a strong ag-
sregation, the Canadian club simply play
ed all around them. The work of the boys
from the Queens University was scientific
point of view. Their team work was also
fine, and this accounts in some measure for
the defeat which they administered to the
Baltimore contingent.
McLennan Is probably the best hockey
player in the western hemisphere, and his
brilliant work told time and time again In
the rushes which the Canadians made into
American territory. Harry. Mckay. Rey-
side and Brock also played an excellent
game. The Canadians excelled the Balti-
more boys at nearly every point, being the
swifter skaters and. knowing more about
handling their sticks.
For the Baltimore team Bagg, Bisan.
Albert, Corning and Parmly played a
strong game. but their efforts were I'M
awaiting against the superior strength and
skill of the opposing team When a COLI
sion occurred, and such was often the case,
1t was the Baltimore man that went down
every time.
The game was an exceedingly pretty one,
but 1t looked to the American spectators
to be nothing more than the game of shin
n.y. modified and improved The Balt-
more hoys wore red, blue and yellow striped
sweaters, and the representatives of the
dominion wore red and blue. The game is
played with sticks about four feet long
with crook about four inches, and a puck
consisting of small piece of rubber. The
goal posts were at each end of the hall
and the immense stretch Of ice gave ample
opportunity for the good points to be dem
onstrated.

BIG BANK FAILURE.

 for $11 000,000

CHICAGO, Dec 21-The National Bank of Illinois failed to open this morning.
 The National Bank of Illinois was one of the oldest and best known bank ing institutions in this city with assets between twelve and fifteen millions. At the last report on November 30 the bank had a capital of $1 100000 sur plus, $1,O0O,O00; undivided profits, $450, ,000; total assets, including bonds, $15O, ,046,9 ,992. The liabilities will be about $11 100000 and it is feared seri- ous results may follow.
 The directors of the bank stated to- day that the loan made to the Calumet electric street railway of $2, 2,400,000 was without the knowledge of the directors. Efforts made to dispose of Calumet stock held as security for the loan brought about an investigation which resulted in the banks suspension.

 The prospecting board proposed will be on the lines of the ''Fossicking board' of New Zealand. This has money and power to assist prospect ors. The labor commissioner has for

THOUSANDS OF ELK.
The Jackson's Hole Country Is Full of
 Them.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 21-Reli- able reports received from the Jack sons Hole country are to the effect that in no previous winter has there been so great a number of elk winter ing as this season. A conservative es- innate, made by the warden of the dis trict, fixes the number at 30,000. They are on every hill and in every valley, and the nights sounds are piteous from the crying of the calves lost from their mothers. Every morning thou sands are seen travelling from the great swamps along the Snake river to the Gros-Ventre hills. The game warden says: T recently gazed upon a sight which far surpassed anything I had ever seen and it utterly astonished and amazed me- For a distance of six miles herd of elk was stretched out. The animals had made a trail through the snow which was packed as hard as fiinted ice. I know there were 15,000 head of elk in that band''
 Where these immense herds of elk have come from, and what will become of them during the long winter that is yet before them are problems which are puzzling all the old hunters and frontiersmen of the region. Already the ranchmen have to drive the elk away from the hay corrals and have to put supports back of the corral posts to keep the elk from crowding down i the fences.
