UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL.
The Game To-Dny-A Generous Gift
Other Notes.


CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, October /.
(Special)- large crowd of students was
on the University campus this afternoon
to watch the practice of the candidates
for the Varsity football eleven-the last
before the contest with Franklin and
Marshall tomorrow. The men showed
I'D we'll and the practice was fast ana,
as a whole, as steady as might be ex-
pected this early in the season, But the
lamentable fact that the team lacks expe-
rience and practice in tackling VIII De
sure to tell throughout the season, unless
especial attention is given TO this elt-
mentary principle of the game. No team,
however strong in offensive work, can
hope to make a creditable showing as
long as there is a lack OF defensive play.
The game tomorrow with the FRANKLIN
and Marshall team is looked forward 10
with much interest, in view OF the fact
that the University of pennsylvania
PLAYED the latter last Saturday upon the
home grounds, winning by score or "
to 0. The result of to-morrows contest
will give the supporters of the Virginia
eleven some idea as to the possible show
ing they will make with the Quaker CITY
team the middle of this month.
Virginia's lineup tomorrow Will De as
follows: Martin, left-end; Davis OF
Pearce, left-tackle; Templeman or fuitp tsn
left-guard; Wallace, centre; Collier right
guard: Marsh, right-tackle; Mallory or
Smith right-end; Wills, quarterback;
Hill, right-half; Carney, left-half; Morri-
son, full-back.

Mechanics Have Attained to Disttn-
KuIshed Positions I'm Recent Years.
The master men of Victoria's reign
have been, says the Review of Reviews,
not the politicians and statesmen. the
soldiers and sailors, the poets and
artists-they have been the engineers
the shipbuilders, the electricians. the
men who have yoked the thunderbolts
of Jupiter to the hammer of Vulcan and
have usurped the authority of Neptune
over the waves. at the same time they
have outstripped the herald Mercury
by the speed of their dispatches. The
steam engine. the steam ship and the
electric wire have in 60 years effected
a more revolutionary change in the con-
ceptions of distance than all the mil
lenniums that have passed since the
stone age.
When the queen assembled the throne
the United States were six times far
Their away than they are to-day. India
was 40 days distant. instead of 10; Aus
tralia six months. instead of six weeks.
While this shrinkage has been made a
practical reality for all manner of brute
substances. a much more rapid and total
conquest of space and time has been
effected in the exchange of thought and
knowledge. The cables have enabled
us to beat the sun, to deliver messages
in London hours by the clock before
they started from India. To-day all
news of Importance is practically re-
ported simultaneously all over the
whole world. Our steam ships bridge
every sea, our cables link every con-
tinent, and commerce. that spider Of
the planet. is weaving all the nations of
the world into one vast web, and the
home and nest and central abode of that
spider is the country and capital of our
queen.

WAS A "LEEMISH" CAR.
The OwI-Car Passengers Finally
Found Out.


Found Out.
He seemed painfully conscious of the
ludicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly Tapping curtains of
north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into a seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
" red and his widely-staring eyes. an
ticipating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his APP
pearance might provoke, blazed forth
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit of
jocundity.
The night was the most tempestu-
Gus of the present season, and in order
to escape the gusts of wind and water
that assailed the car from every direc-
ton some of the owls" had gathered
in the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs of seats, and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations OF the
kind, passed to and fro among the pas
sengers collecting nickels. He was an
ideal ''owl" conductor, bristling with
a sense of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and
convenience of his guests.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?" asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot
jolted past.
The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response. Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for
ward.
'Ez ish leemish ghar?" was repeated
somewhat petulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but the autOcrat seemed
buried in an effort to translate the jar
gon, and some even ventured so far
as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker But the glances were quickly
withdrawn, for the glitter of i'm
placable hostility in those wild eyes
had become intensified. Several more
blocks elapsed.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?"
And this time the potentate had
stopped close by to take fare.
"What?" snarled the latter, with
scornful intonation.
'Ez ish flemish ghar?"
For a moment there was reflective
pause-his majesty was thinking.
Limits car? Yes"

1t viii be remembered, says an ex-
change, how, on the birth of a son and
heir to Prince Max of Bavaria, the
grenadiers of his regiment cut off their
mustaches TO stuff a pillow for the
royal infants head. History has just
repeated itself at the modest little town
of Ribeauville. in France, where the
captain of the local fire brigade recent
ly became happy father. With one
accord the brave firemen sacrificed the
hirsute adornments which were their
glory to fill a velvet cushion, and this
unique gift was duly placed in the
baby's cradle, with a diploma of hon
orary membership of the corps.

The DOOR SPRING.
It's Later Development and It's Wide
Iy Extended Use.

Iy Extended Use.
"In no one single thing" said the
middle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, has there been great
er advance since l was a boy than in
the introduction of the door spring into
comparatively common use. / suppose
there must be now hundreds of patents
On door springs. Some of the springs
are well-nigh perfect. 1t is difficult to
see in what respect they could be i'm
proved. But the main fact is the
door spring itself and its common use
in buildings of more or less public
character, and many others as well.
1--WE don't shut doors now nearly as
much as we used to; we don't stop to
shut them. We are spared that trouble
and we save time. We open the door
and push on through and leave the door
take care of itself. In the time that it
would have taken US to close it we are
six, eight or ten feet off; but the door
Is not neglected; it shuts itself, calm
", quietly and with certainty. as the
man marches away. There is less slam
ming of doors now than ever. and few
er doors are left open: and the saving
of time effected by the use of the self
closing door is in the aggregate ire
mendous.
Truly in no minor feature is the
progress of civilization more apparent
than in the present common use of the
door spring"

Russian Press Rules.

The Russian minister of the interior,
acting under instructions from the
car, has alleviated the severity OF the
press laws in all the larger towns and
cities of the empire, in fact wherever
the population is over 100000, by ex-
smpting the newspapers from the OBJ
legation of submitting all articles on
political subjects to the censor before
publication. Hitherto only a few OF
the principal papers at St. Petersburg,
Moscow, Warsaw and Odessa have en-
loved the immunity.

THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGE
Old Idea of Youths CareIessness Has
No Foundation.


No Foundation.
Youth takes itself with the same
seriousness which belonged to age in a
time of less knowledge; and one of the
greatest proofs of a more complete mas
terry by the world of the art of living is
the wish and ability TO be careless. says
Scribner's. The one who is learning to
dance counts the step. and that is what
age has ceased to do; while youth is still
whispering zone. two. three" most
sedulously to itself. 1t is not that
things do not seem so important, nor is
it, as it is sometimes claimed, that age
or the age is more skeptical; but. gen
orally, age nowadays has mastered its
elementary knowledge earlier until 1T
has it as an actor of an often played role
and need not be coming the part all
the time. It does not lose its dignity
because. sometimes, like 7, 'iy. it
travels incognito; and if it chooses I'M
der other titles to seek a freer life 1t
knows how to do it and dares do it and
is welcome to. though it creates very
different state of things from any
that ever existed before. Seeing the
bent brows of sOphOmores and the SOL
emn eyes of "buds," no one dares to
talk longer of the happy. careless days
of youth. There is a change. Age
's'amuser;" and really. in view of the
present conditions, there is nothing to
be done except to advise youth to hurry
up as fast as it can and grow old.
