Both Armies.

Next year the surviving soldiers of the
Mexican war will celebrate a memora BILE
anniversary. Fifty years ago the two re-
publics were at war. Now they are at
peace Americans welcomed ev ery-
where in Mexico. They are engaged in the
pursuits of peace all over that republic
They are associated with the Mexicans in
business enterprises, and each cherishes for
the other a mutual esteem. The old Santa
Fe trail has been replaced by the railroads.
The people of the borders fraternize. The
two governments have the most cordial re-
lations. The President of Mexico is one of
the most illustrious statesmen. Peace edu-
cation, energy and enterprise under his
wise administration are transforming Mex
leo into conditions of the highest civilization
and enlightenment. Always a land of ro-
nance, it is becoming a garden, and under
the wisdom of Diaz 1t is taking it's place
among the foremost nations. For him
Americans have the profoundest admira-
ton. A ruler so dignified and brave has been
a blessing to that country.

of old cycles appeared upon the paths Of
a park in Chicago the other day and at

hard-tire bicycles had been utilized. From
these the handlebars, pedals, crank hangers
and saddle posts had been removed. This

READY FOR THE BATTLE
YALE AND HARVARD FOOTBALL
TEAMS IN GOOD CONDITION.
Former Will Start for Boston To-Day
Gossip About Deals for National
League Ball Players.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov 1.-THE final
practice of the Yale University football
team was held this afternoon and it occu-
pied less than forty-five minutes. The work
was very light but what there was of it
indicated that the good form developed in
the past week has been maintained At the
close of the practice a questioning of the
members of the eleven elected information
which makes it possible TO state that the
men are in good spirits, and that means a
great deal. Tonight the players were re-
hearsed in their signals, and later the
coachers who are in the city held pro-
tracted conference, at which methods were
discussed and decided upon The players
all retired early Tomorrow calls for light
exercise in the morning, and after luncheon
they will board two special cars, in which
they will be taken via Springfield to Bos-
ton, where they will spend the last night
preceding the great contest.
A change must be made in Yale's football
eleven at the last moment. Charles Dudley,
left half back, received news tonight of the
death of his mother in Washington. He
was summoned home and will be absent for
several days.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. lin view of
the coming game with Yale, the following
statement Oh the OIL the Harvard
football team was given out to-day 1t
comes from an official source and is consid-
cred a reliable summary: The team has
now reached its eliminating point, and sat
isfactory results have been obtained. The
varsity team and substitutes will come to
the game Saturday with no injuries that
need cause anxiety as to their ability to
last through the game. Except one or two
cases, the team has shown gradual i'm
provement, and should be in its best form
Saturday. The ends have covered their po-
sitlonS in excellent form throughout the
season Their fault is that they do not
hod the runners well enough on defense.
The probable lineup of Saturday will be:
Cabot, left end; Swain, left tackle; BOuve,
left guard; Doucette, center; Shaw or Has
kell right guard; Donald, right tackle;
MoultOn, right end Garrison, quarter back;
Dibblee, lett half back; Sawin or Warren,
right half back; Warren or HaughtOn, full
back.
The practice of the Harvard football
eleven to-day was, usual, in secret, and
consisted of signal work, kicking and falling
on the ball. There was a gratifying snap
during the entire play, and the different
ends who were tried got down the field in
remarkably fast time Not man was in
iured, much to the relief of the coaches of
the team came out of the Enclosure with
scarcely man limping or showing the eff
fects of the hard work.

pay for all this by taking the oath of

even after this was done, that suspicious
potentate kept Slatin in chains for several
weeks. At last he was allowed a certain
amount of liberty.
