sion house for her life, and one half the
personality absolutely. If the wife owns
property ana fails to make will the
widower is entitled to all the personal

A Solid Plank Is Adopted at the Con.

mitted TO Local Assemblies.

Rochester N. Y, Nov. 20-The gen.
eral assembly Knights of Labor had
a rather lively session this morning.
The recommendation of the general
master workman. Sovereign, were en-
dorsed by the adoption of an addition
to plank seventeen of the preamble of
the order to read:
And that gold and silver when so
issued. shall be by the free and unlim-
tied coinage at the ratio of 16 to !, re-
gardless Of the action Of any other ma
ticn."
The following resolutions, sent in by
District Assembly Al, of Maryland,
We're adopted:
Where, 1t Is believed by many. and is
now a demonstrable fact, that the great
country to the Democratic and Peoples
platforms in the recent campaign were
those planks which found their basis in
the sixteenth plank of the preamble of the
knights of Labor, and which plank, in
brief put the party in line with the peo-
pie in opposition to the issuance of more
government bonds and favored the issu-
ance by the government of all necessary

Resolved, That the general assembly of

The proposition to abolish the mileage

general assembly was defeated.
Copies Of the new plank relating to
free silver will be sent to all the local

upon 1t. A decision rendered to admit
to the general assembly representa-

CANNOT BEAT BOYER.
Efforts Of the Combine will Be Fruit.
less-Bottom Has Fallen Out Of
the Countrymen's Campaigu.

Harrisburg, Nov 20.-The Patriot
says that the bottom seems to have
fallen out of the campaign against
Henry X. Boyer, of Philadelphia, for
speaker of the next house Of represen-
tatives. The efforts to form a combine
Of country members against him has
failed and the chances are the move
ment will be abandoned long before
the Republican caucus Is held. Ben
jamin K. Focht, of Union, has jumped
the combine and will support Boyer
william c. Smith. of Bedford. Is also
ready to quit because Of the refusal
of his colleagues to promise his support.
Senator Quay's friends here say John
r. Farr, of Lackawanna, will not have
the entire delegation from that county.
This leaves George Kunkel, of this
city; Ward X. Bliss, of Delaware. and
Herman North, Mexican, in the fight.
kunkel has been endorsed by the Dau-
phin delegation, but there is doubt
as to whether John NJ. Heagy, of Steel
ton, will vote for him II he sees he has
no chances to win.

and Yells..Line Up Of the Players.

New York, Nov. 20--With the last
finishing touches which We're applied
this morning at New Haven and at
Princeton the work of the great army
Of coaches and trainers Is done and the
result of the twenty-first annual strug-
gle for the foot ball championship be-
tween the elevens Of Yale and Prince
ton lies in the Drawn and sinew of the
men who will wear the blue of old Eli
and the orange and black of historic
Nassau. From 1876 to 1895 the strug-
gle has been waged every year. and
the scale of honor shows lowering in
favor Of the blue. The record reads
that Yale has won thirteen times to
Princeton's six, and that once, In 1881,
the balance was even, neither side hav-
ing scored. 1t has been more or less
the custom heretofore to prophecy on
the morning of the Yale-Princeton
game that the crowd would be greater
than was ever seen at the game before.
Whatever the case in previous years,
there Is absolutely no doubt that. pro-
vided the weather Is suitable, the at
tendance at Manhattan field tomorrow
afternoon will far surpass anything be-
fore recorded. This statement Is based
upon the advance sale Of tickets. Seats
on any of the stands are not to be had
In the regular channels and only very
few are obtainable from spectators at
a, big advance. The capacity Of the
field is about $4,000, and the only tick
cts available against the rush tomor-
row are 5000 admissions which confer
standing room only.
The graduates and undergraduates OF
both colleges have spared no pains to
make the contest a memorable one.
New songs and cheers have been re-
hearsed at Princeton and Yale and
the vocal efforts of the day are likely
to astonlsh the spectators.
BOTH TEAMS ARRIVE.
Both teams and substitutes arrived
in the city this evening. The Yale
contingent are at the Plaza, as usual,
and the Tigers at the Murray Hill.

agement. The men all appeared to be
in fine condition and there was an
air of confidence on both sides. The
followers of the orange and black seem
to think that the chances are in their
favor, and slight odds were obtain
able at the stock exchange today that
Princeton would win. But the bulk of
the betting was at even money, for
while Princeton's showing through the
season entitled them to a degree Of
favoritism, the knowing ones kept in

always fioated before the eventful hour,
but'which somehow have with just as
much pertinacity failed to materially
affect the playing of old Ellis sons at
the critical moment.
The gates will open at noon and
play will be called at 2 o'clock. Paul
Dashiel, of Lehign, will again referee
the contest. The lineup will probably
be as follows:

The opera house was comfortably filled,
last evening, by people Of all parties, te
listen to Ex-Governor L. Bradford Princes
address on the sold and New Phases Of
the Silver Question: Governor Prince is
an eloquent speaker and is thoroughly in
earnest on the silver question, and gave
convincing facts and figures to show that
it is only on q bi-metallic basis that this
country can hope to prosper.
His figuring and reasoning on the Ja-
panese manufacturing boom were very in
teresting. He overlooked, however, the
fact that prices for labor in Japan are one
third, or less than one-third, of what they
are in the United States, and that the con-
dition Of the laboring class In the United
States is far better than that Of any other
country in the world.
At the close of the address, three rous
ing cheers we're given for Governor Prince
and free silver.
