OLD TIME DIFFERENCE SETTLED.
The Blue and Crimson Once More in Har-
mony.

New York, February 2o.-The aquatic
differences between the big 'varsities
which has been agitating the collegiate
world for the past month, were harmoni-
ously and finally adjusted at meeting
of the representatives of Yale, HarV ard,
Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania
and Columbia in this oity today. 1t was
decided that all the races would be rowed
In the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. The
Harvard, Cornell and Yale Varsity race
was fixed for June 25th. As this is Har-
yard class day, the Crimson, II she so de-
sires, can have the race fixed day earli-
or. The freshmen race was fixed for June
2S. Cornell's agreement with Columbia
and Psnnsylvania called for race be-
tween the three and accordingly the date
for their varsity encounter will be July
. and for the Freshmen race June 80.
This will give the crimson and white a
little time to recover from the effects Of
their other struggles.
The representatives present were Prof.
B. ]. Wheeler of Cornell, u. =. Bangs
and /. A. B. Cowles Of Columbia, Thorn
as Reath of the University OF Pennsylva-
mia and Capt. Goodrich of Harvard.
The Harvard captain also represented
Yale's interests, showing how thorough
is the recon Citation of the Crimson and
the Blue. Cornell WAS anxious to have
Colum bia and Pennsylvania In the Har-
ward Y ale Cornell race, but Harvard de-
cided that her agreement with Yale pre-
vented this and declined the proposition.
The meeting today was most harmonious
aud the outcome was most satisfactory to
all the Harvard and Yale graduates in
this city who were more than anxious to
see the Ratchet buried.

Corbett No Longer the Idol of Carson
City.

Carson, New, February 20.-Corbett' s
star was partly eclipsed this afternoon
when Eitzsimmons arrived. He was
accompanied by Ernst, Rober and
Julian, the latter having met the party
at Reno. Holding his dog by strong
lash, Fitz led the crowd OF several hum

Gorbetts position as the greatly adored.

Half an hour after his arrival, Fltz-
simmons visited Cooks ranch and looked
over the quarters which he said suited
him exactly. He returned to Carson for
the night and will move out to the ranch
early in the morning.
After lunch today, Corbett and his be-
longings left for Shaw's ranch. outdoor
exercise will be impossible for week at
least.
In his anxiety to match George Green
against man of his class, Stuart today
agreed to allow the Californian $500 ex-
penses to meet Joe Walcott for $4,000
purse. 1t is possible the loser will receive
$500, but all that hinges upon the de-
oisior OF Tom o Rourke, Walcots' man
ager from whom Stuart expects to hear
hourly. Green will remain with Cor
bett at Shaws Springs. Walcott may
double with Fitzsimmons, but nothing
has been done yet In this respect. The
contest will take place before Corbett
and Fitzsimmons meet. few hours Of
sunshine gladdened the hearts of all this
morning. but Fitzsimmons brought

BOWLING TOURNAMENT.
The Week Has Been a Lively One at
Pines Allies.

Tho standing of the various CLUBS III
the bowling tournament at Pines allles
has changed somewhat the past weeA.
By their victory over the Imperials FIJI
day evening, the Camp Columbus s1ep
up notch higher, leaving the Waverieys
who were defeated Monday night In the
rear and, dropping the Imperials below
the Tontinss, who defeated the Orescenss
for the second time that club has peen
downed this season.
The Orients had Fan easy game with
the Wayerlys Monday night at flne
allies, beating them out 80 pins IN an
Interesting game. Both sides foiieo
small totals, but the probabilities are
that the winners could have put up q
much larger string had they been pressed.
Waite rolled his usual good game and
was high roller ut 27s. Armsby was Sec
ond with 267.
On Wednesday night the Tontines de-
feated the Crescents by a SCORE OF 1883 TO
1907. The Crescents were not up TO
their usual good form and their defeat
WAS a great surprise to them. Payson OF
the Tontines was the high man with a
score Of 103.
That the unexpected very often hap
pens in bowling as well as other athletic
sports, was fully proven Friday evening
when the Camp Columbus took the I'm
perials into camp 1Ol pins. Merry put
up gilt-edge game and was high roller
on single, ITO and totals, BOB. Brown
and johnson are also entitled to great
credit for their fine work. The rolling
of the Imperials was about on par
with that of the Crescents Wednesday
night and both can only be compared
to the condition of barrel of apples
that has been kept too long.

THE news that there has oe.
Cured in New Orleans q death
from yellow fever sends a thrill
Of fear throughout the Soath.
The fact that the disease exist

a week before it was indenti.
fed as yellow fever, when that
popular Summer resort was
threBged with visitors coming
and going at viii causes grave
fears that the deadly germs OF
the disease may have been con-
Veye3 to numerous distant
points. However, the proven
ton and eradication Of infect
iOus diseases are now SO. much
more easily accomplished than
formerly, that the likelihood Of
theiE spreads greatly diminish

season will also lessen the
danger. Sill, it were we'll that

THE charge of Judge Gordoa
Russell to- the grand jury OF
Smith county at Tyler last Mon
day shonld be read carefully
by every judge and officer and
every juror, and, in fact, by
every citizen of the state. It
contains a spirit of wisdom and
justice which is all too rare in
our courts of justice today, and
calls attention to q crime which
is all too common, the frequent
commission of which threatens
the very life OF our great judi
eial system-that of perjury.
Judge Rnssell's charge deserves
general attention and its perus-
al shoRId leave a lasting im-
preston upon the minds of
those who read it.

CORPSE INA
COTTON BALE.
Peculiar Death of a Negro Boy,
Who Was Killed in a
Cotton Press.

Paris, Tex, Sept.-The re-
port of a CHASTITY find is report
ed from Ben Franklin, fifteen
miles southwest from here.
The particulars Of the diseoy-
cry, as ascertained here, are
that during the past week,
while the cotton gin near Ben
Franklin was being run at full
speed, a little 5-year-old negro
boy, whose name can not be
learned, was in the ginhouse
watching the machinery. When
night came he could not be
seen anywhere about and a
diligent search was made, but
the little fellow could not be
found.
The parents of the boy
thought he had wandered
away from home, and they
kept up the search until the
fact Vas made apparent that
the boy had fallen into the
cotton press and been squeez-
ed to death, unknown to the
pressmsn who were doing the
feeding and making the cotton
bales compact. The attention
Of parties was called to the bale
Of cotton by reason OF the fact
that green flies had been at
tracted there in large numbers.
When the bale was broken it
was stated that the victim
was observed to be crushed in
q horrible manner.
It is supposed the boy was
looking at the work of the
press and at an unguarded mo-
ment got too close and fell over
into the box, and that the noise
Of his cries could not be heard
and the lint cotton was poured
down upon him, smothering
and pressing the very life out
of him.

A WEALTHY MINE OWNER.

Laredo, Tex, Sept. T.
Since the above was written
the News reporter has ascer-
tanned that in the month of
last July Pedro Trueba & Bro,
millionaire SPanIards and
mine owners In Parral, Mex

younger brother selling out
and leaving Parral for his old
home in Spain. He invested

diamonds and greenbacks
were personal property.
Young Trueba arrived in
Monterey in the first days of
last August to take the Mex
lean Gulf road for Tampico,
from there to New York,
thence to take steamer to
Europe. Until his valise with
its valuables was discovered
at the custom house here to-
day his friends thought he was
en- route home.
The young man from whom
the yalise was taken was well
spotted by Inspector Taylor
and his description will be
wired TO all the detective
agencies in this country. The
opinion prevails here that

CONTAINED A FORTUNE
A VaIise Found at Laredo
Full Of Wealth.

Laredo. Tex, Sept, On
the 9Th of last August Mr..
Walter Taylor, one of the Gus
tom house inspectors at Laredo
while going through the Aztec
limited train, which arrives
here at 1920 P. m, noticed a
young man with two valises on
the seat in front of him and
inquired if they belonged TO
him. The smaller yalise he
claimed, but the larger, Of a
peculiar make, he disowned.
Mr.. Taylor passed on through
the train, and when he return
ed to the seat the young man
had occupied he found it emp
ty, as well as the disappearance
of both valises. At the same
moment he saw the stranger
entering a hack with both va !
Uses and at once stopped the
hack, whereupon the stranger
made his exit, leaving the larg
er valise. Mr.. Taylor took the
valise to the custom house and
turned it over to the collector,
who placed it in the warehouse
with other baggage.
Today the collector directed
that the valise be opened in
order to advertise its contents
for sale. Great was the sur
prise of the officials when its
contents inventoried:
Mexican government bonds
to the amount OF 100000.
United States currency,
$1,000.
Diamonds to the value of
$1,000, and commercial drafts
to the amount of 100000.
Upon this discovery the sale
was abandoned and kilograms
were sent to the City of Mex
leo and other points on the
line of the Mexican National
road, making inquiries. The
strangest part of the whole af
fair is that Notwithstanding a
month, lacking three days,
has. passed since the valise
was seized there has never
been a word OF inquiry from
any direction received here
regarding this large sum Of
money.

The American "French Mixed. !.

"In the manufacture of candy" said a
diplomatic officer of experience, there is
no doubt that America now leads the
world. American candies are about the
only ones made of sugar that can he bought
in Paris. Though the French have long
led the world in this line, they have grad
ually but surely managed to do away with
the use of sugar in their candies, except
where they make them for consumption in
other countries and in America in par
ticular. The French people will not buy u
confection which is made of sugar alone
They want combinations and depend more
upon starches than sugar.
81 think | am safe in saying that sugar
made candy is rarely if ever sold in Paris.
OF course, il would be made If it was de-
sired, but the people of Paris prefer some
thing else. Two weeks before Christmas /

A TRAVELLER IN FRANCE.
What lie Saw, Did and Heard In a Rail-

He was travelling in France and he had
comforted himself down in the corner of
u first class railway compartment. He
alone in the carriage. The train, which
was just on the point of starting, would
run four hours without stopping.
"Four hours quiet, uninterrupted read
ing" he told himself, accompanied by IA
fat cigar
And he purred at the prospect of read
ing and smoking-and smoking undis-
turbed by the bubbles of chance acquaint-
ances. And he did everything SO easily, so
elegantly. He was a gentleman-an Amer
lean gentleman.
He placed IA handful of papers by his
side. He produced u jeweled cigar case
from his breast pocket. He put a cigar be-
tween his lips. He closed the case with a
snap and returned it to its resting place
slowly, calmly. From his trousers pocket
he produced pearl penknife, with which
he clipped the cigar and then returned
the knife to its resting place-calmly, slow
ly. From his waistcoat pocket-what a
host of pockets men have, to be sure!-he
produced a silver matchbox and struck a
light.
The guard blew his whistle.

| The young lady arranged her skirts,
and as she did she saw the match burn to

produced, the cigar replaced among its fra

TO the pocket

He looked up. And what did he see?

saw the hand embracing the daintiest of
