Outland was given the ball for run
around Lafayette's left end. He made
about ten yards when he was tackled
hard by Rinehart Outland dropped
the ball and Duffy, who was close be-
hind Rinehart, picked it up and started
for Pennsylvania s goal. He was caught
after run of 20 yards and the La
fayette men were then unable to gain
an inch.
During the entire afternoon the La
fayette team only made three first
downs, and two of these were on end
skirting. Lafayette's line averaged ten
pounds to the man heavier than that OF
pennsylvania, but the latter simply tore
II to pieces.
Time and again they plowed through
the center and tackled for from three to
ten yards before being thrown, and after
nearly every scrimmage there would be
a Lafayette man laid out Even the
mighty Rinehart was stretched out sew
eral times. Lafayette tried several tricks
but they lost from two to five yards on
nearly every attempt. Pennsylvania, on
the other hand, worked the fake kick on
the crimson and white twice, the first time
jackson making seventy yard run for a
touchdown, and the second attempt net
It'd touchdown after twenty-five yard
run by the same player.
Rinehart was the bright particular star
OF the Lafayette team. Jones who has
been heralded as the greatest center now
playing football, was a mark for Over
field. The entire Pennsylvania team play
ed beautiful footbSh, one or two fumbles
alone marring their otherwise faultless
game. 1t seemed to be the one aim of
each man to help the other, and there
was concentrated action in the endeavor

String of defeats administered by Lafay-
cite last year should be wiped out

but even their most ardent admirers only

A FINE COLLECTION
OF Specimens Of Birds, Insects, and
Venemous Reptiles, by Prot. schurr,
a Prominent Naturalist, Now on
Exhibition Here.

Prof. Theodore Schurr, prominent
naturalist, has his collection of speci-
mems on exhibition in the show win
dow and ON the second floor of the
dry goods establishment of Geo. E.
Stifel & Co., on Main street. Prof.
Schurr was a former citizen of Hun
ington, and has also lived in Ports
mouth, O.
The collection was examined yester-
day by hundreds of persons, and all
expressed admiration for its excel
lence and wonder at the patience Of
Prof. Schurr in gathering together his
specimens. The professor was pres
ent, and took pleasure in making ex-
plantations and answering questions
The collection will be on exhibition
until Wednesday night of this week
1t will be found interesting to all who
have made study of the subject, and
no person could spend an hour more
profitably than in viewing the speci-
mems.
Prof Schurr's collection embraces
$4,000 specimens, and represents the
labor Of thirty-five years, during
which he visited all parts of the globe
He stated to a Register reporter that
the United States is unquestionably
the most profitable field for the natur-
alist. His specimens are exhibited in
cases, and are arranged with admir-
able Skill the professor aiming in each
exhibit to show the evolution Of the
specimen shown.
Some of the rarest specimens Sc
cured by Prof. Schurr are the Zebra
humming bird, of Brazil; the collar
bird of Paradise, of Australia; and
the homoptera strix, of Brazil. The
most scientific exhibit is that of the
insects of the silk family. Ninety-five
have been discovered, and there are 80
liz his collection. His collection Of
butterflies and beadles is said to be
one of the finest in existence An
aquatic case shows the beauties of
the deep sea. A case of venomous rep
tiles the professor fac8tiously terms
the "Keeley Institute collection" An
other case shows the small animals
found in the African jungles.
A brief description must fail of do
ing justice to Prof. Schurr's collec-
ton. 1t will repay a visit during his
stay here.

the young man blushed, but they said
nothing and the game began.
1t wasn't much of a game. While
the young woman wasn't sitting OPP
posite the young man she was sitting
next TO him, and every few minutes
one or the other of them forgot to play
when it was their turn. Then, too,
there were frequent inquiries as to
who took the last trick and what was
trumps, and altogether the old man felt
a good deal like swearing on one or
two occasions.
Finally he made up his mind that
patience had ceased to be a virtue.
The game had come to a standstill
while the young people exchanged con-
fidences in a whisper 1t was notice
able also that each one had one under
the table.

sharply, Il should infer from the way
you are playing that you haven't much

He did. His missing hand appear
ed above the table almost instantly,
and so did hers. And they both

Special to the Register.
Steubenville, o., October 23-The
Aetnaville Juniors put up a great
game against the Acme eleven this
afternoon, and held the score down to
10 to 0.
The Acme team had on the average
about 20 pounds the advantage of the
Aetnaville team, but the latter put up
such quick, snappy game that it,
counted much in their favor.
Aetnaville stopped the mass plays
of the Acme boys in fine shape, and the
latter found it well night impossible
to make gains around the ends, so
well were they guarded The Acme
gains were made through the line,
their weight counting in making these
plays.
A feature of the game was two one
handed play, Mooney for Acme and
j. Thomas for Aetnaville. with the
same hands off. The teams lined up
as follows:

Washington, Pa, October %. West
Virginia University met Washington
and Jefferson this afternoon on the w.

rivalry between these two teams. and
as they did not meet last year, the out
come of to-day's game was looked for
ward to with great interest. The w.
Y. U. boys were clearly outclassed in
to-day's game as the score signifies.
w. & ]. failed to kick all of her goals
consequently the score was six points
lower than if w. & j. had kicked all
goals. Not once did w. V. U. get the
ball from w & J. on downs, and the
fast and superior play of w. & j. was
too much for the West Virginia team.
1t was a clean and fast game void of all
rough and dirty play.
AS far as appearances went things
seemed about even when the teams
lined up, considerable weight being on
both sides. The game was the first big
game ofthe season on the local grounds
and the crowd was a record breaker

II is safe to say that few of tnC rer-
sons who travtl Ia the East and guze
in rapture at the pyramods, Coliseum or
other great piles of antiquity ever stop
to consider the cost. The amount in
money and labor expended in produc-
ing these wonderful structures is prob
ably the last thing thought OF under
such conditions. But when the idea
is suggested then enc begins to have
a faint idea of the millions of treasure
expended by the ancient monarchs in
public or quasipublic works. Tho
contrast Of the power and wealth OF
these men with those of the present
day is very marked. The aneients
could build a new palace at will. Now
adays governments pause and con-
slider ways and means when they think
of building a new public building Of
any kind.
DR.. Arbuthnot has patiently reckon
ed up the amount of treasure heaped
upon the pile of Sardanapalus by
Athenaeus and he finds that it came 10
916,953, 10000 in English money at
least, for if computation which
Athenaeus himself suggests, be admit
ted, the total would be about twice as
large. After this the statement Of
Diodorus-that the pharaohs counted
upon revenue Of G133. 100000 annu-
ally from gold mines in the Bishari
desert and drew an equal sum by tax
ation-is very moderate.
But when the same most valuable
writer comes to deal with Babylon he
let's himself go. There was a gold
statue of Zeus-'the Greek assigned
his own gods to Babylon as usual
forty feet high; Of Rhea equally tall,
with lion Of gold at each knee and
silver serpents to correspond; Juno
weighted 800 talents; in front of her
was a golden table. 500 talents, upon
which stood two golden cups. 900 tall
ents each, and three bowls, 200. 500
and eco talents. These ornaments Of a
single temple represented about Gil
0G0 CO., and the bdilding was covered
with gold plates.
II has been calculated that the statue
of Nebuchadnezzar mentioned in Dam
iel would be worth 1880 GEO; that the
treasure left by David amounted 70

INDIANS VS.. YALE.
The Carlisle Team Defeated by a Score of
"a 8.

The Carlisle Team Defeated by a Score of
"a too.
New York, October 23.-The annual
football contest between Yale and the
Carlisle Indian School eleven attracted
5000 persons TO the Polo Grounds this
afternoon. Football authorities from all
over the country were noticed on the
side lines, and if, as was said, their
chief object in being there was to gain
some idea of the true strength of the
kickers who will represent the blue in
the big games to be played next month,
they hardly succeeded in their mission,
as Yale did not present her strongest
players. In spite of this, however, the
men from New Haven have not played
a faster game in the first half and found
no trouble whatever in getting around
either end. Beside this they almost
pushed through the line of the redskins
at will. In the second half, with the
same players, Yale played an entirely
different game. The work of the backs
was exceptionally slow, while the inter-
ference WAS very poor. They also fun
bled frequently.
The Indians took advantage of poor
Mork of the Yale men and as a result
scored all Of the points credited to them
while the Yale men were 'in the air"
The quarterback accomplished a feat
not often seeen on the gridiron by kick
ling goal from the field from the So
yard line. The prettiest part of it was
the able manner in which the Indians
blocked the college men from interfer-
ing with the kicks. Shortly after this
the Indians worked the ball up to with
in a foot of Yale's goal line, when the
ball was lost on downs.
The Indians soon regained posses
sion, and on the second move Benja-
min made an inglorious tumble of
neat pass by De Soulles. Metoxen was
on the ball in an instant, and as it was
on the ten-yard line the Indians had
to try all sorts Of plays to get it over.
A quick pass to Tayou and tan
dem play" did the business, and a
touchdown was the result. Hudson
tried for a goal, but failed.
After this Yale took a brace, and
proved to their admirers that they can
play fast game when necessary.
The game was exceptionally free
from smuggling. Not player was eau
toned during the entire game. The
only injured man was H. Pierce, who
had his ankle wrenched in trying to
get out of a scrimmage He was
forced to retire in favor of Redwater
The lineup was as follows:
