YALE, "A: CARLISLE, 8.
Redskins Put Up a Good Game Against
the New Ravens.


the New Havens.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The annual foot
ball contest between Yale and the Carlisle
Indian School eleven attracted 1900 people
to the Polo grounds this afternoon. Foot
ball authorities from all over the country
were noticed on the side lines, and if, as
was said the 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 played a fast game in the first
half, and found no trouble whatever in get
ting around either end. Besides this, they
almost pushed through the line of the red
skins at will. In the second half, with the
same men, Yale played an entirely differ
ent game. The work of the backs was ex-
ceptionally slow, while the interference was
very poor. They also furnbled frequently.
The Indians took advantage of the poor
work of the Yale men, and as a result
scored all Of the points credited to them,
while the Yale men were Gin the air.
Hudson, the clever little quarterback, ac-
complished feat not often seen on the
gridiron by kicking a goal from the field
from the thirty-five-yard line. The pref
test part of it was the able manner in
which the Indians blocked the college men
from interfering with the kicks. Shortly
after this the Indians worked the ball up
to within a foot of Yale's goal line, when
the ball was lost on downs. The Indians
soon regained possession. and on the sec
ond move Benjamin made an ingloriouS
tumble of a neat pass by De Soune. Me-
token was on the ball in an instant, and
as it was on the ten-yard line, the Indians
h0d m flsxy all re of ola ~
A quick pass to Cayou and a tandem
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 slug
ging. Not player was cautioned during
the entire game. The only injured man was
III. Pierce, who had his ankle wrenched in
trying to get out of a scrimmage. He was
forced to retire In favor of Red Water. The

can make her child S life happy and success

it by making and keeping herself perfectly

Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is a most
wonderful cure for all forms of female weak

usefulness is in preparing for the trials and

organs distinctly feminine, drives out all i'm

hearty, vigorous health. 1t will positively
cure any form of female weakness or disease.
1t is the preparation Of a regular, medical

has made him famous all over the world.

CHICAGO, April with raw threat

chance for election. They are Carter

Nathaniel Sears, regular Republican,
Washington Hesing, gold Democrat
and business mems nominee, and John

account Of the strong fight which has
been made against the so-called Re-
publican machine, it is conceded that
both Hesing and Harlan will draw
heavily from Sears strength. Harrison
Is running on a ''wide-Open" platform,
and is expected to receive nearly all
the free silver vote. He is the favorite
in the betting. National issues have
been ignored almost entirely by all the
candidates.
Chief of Police Badenoch gave strict
orders to close all saloons and the rule

Move i'm the Interest of a Close

Northern
Interstate Commerce Commission
Creates More Excitement
for Railroads.

New YORK, April S.-The Herald
says: 1t is stated on high authority
that Colonel Daniel S. Lamont has been
decided upon as president of the North.
ern Pacific railroad, and that the APP
pointment would be announced within
a week. Edwin w. Winter, who was
formerly connected with the Chicago
and Northwestern, has been president
since j. p. Morgan and Co. undertook
the reorganization Of the Northern Pa
ciic.
The appointment of Colonel Lamont
as the head of this system is understood
to have been brought about largely by
President James J. Hill of the Great
Northern, and it is but additional evi.
dence of the close compact that is form
ing between the two great railways.
The alliance is nov being perfected in
London by j. P. Morgan. James j.
Hill and DR.. Simmons, Of the Deutsche
bank, the latter being the largest indi-
vidual holder Of the bonds of the
Northern Pacific railway.
May Include the Canadian Pacific.
Lie 1SutsCuc DduA was SLTOukly ia
favor of a consolidation Of the two
roads, but this was prohibited by the
laws of the several states through
which the sy1tems pass, and when the
matter was first suggested. a storm of
opposition was stirred up i'll the North
west which rendered it impracticable.
The course that is to be pursued, 1t
is understood, is to form a close traffic
alliance, with uniform rates and an
economy Of operations, which will in &
measur answer the same purpose as a
consolidation. There are signs that
the proposed combination will also
include the Canadian Poetic. but this
has not yet been settled. Certain prom
inent Englishmen are interested in
both the Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific railroads. This would permit
an Interchange Of traffic that would be
mutually beneficial.

TERRIBLY REALIZED.
Predictions of Disaster to Follow Breaks
in the East Side Levee become Fla cts.

Predictions Of Disaster to Follow Breaks
in the East Side Levee Become Fla OTIS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April THE pre-.
diction made in these dispatches that
great disaster to the Mississippi delta
would follow the breaking of the levee
at a point on the east side Of the river
north of Helena, Ark, has been ter.
ribly realized.
The break at Flower Lake has rap
idly grown from a dozen feet in length
to a thousand. This was the condition
of the crevasse at 4 o'clock, when an
Associated Press representative left the
levee north of the break. Effort is be-
ing made to tie each end Of the levee,
but owing to the difficulty in getting
material from a railroad five miles
away the success of the effort is doubt
full. This crevasse is at the head OF
the delta and will cause an overflow OF
the northern tier of counties in Missie.
sippi with the exception of a part OF
Tunice. The question that now con.
fronts the planters is the
Duration Of the Flood.
If the water is out of the delta by May
8 a crop of cotton may be grown, but
cotton planted as late as May 10 has
little chance of mat ting before frost.
There is still another danger. These
must all be closed before the
June rise or there will be a second
overflow. The delta country produc If
annually no less that 500, 900 bales Of
cotton.
