THE YALE VARSITY TEAM
CHADWICK WILL BE TRIED AT CENTER THIS WEEK.

Cutten and Mcfarland Still Unable to
 Play, Which Necessitated the Above Arr
 engagement.
 An unexpected change has been made In the makeup of the Varsity eleven. Since Mcfarland has been kept out of practice because of a low stand, and Cutten because of a badly injured leg, the captain and coaches have been at q joss for man to play center. Har- yey was given a chance in the game against Williams last Saturday, but he didn't prove a bowling success, being pushed all over the field by the 145- pound center on the William team.
 Charlie Chadwick, Yale's strong man, who has played all the line positions except end, is the latest man to be tried at center. The work and experience which Chadwick had while playing guard will very materially assist him ill his endeavors to play this new posi- tion, but he will have to learn many things before being able to cope with the men on the several teams which Yale will meet during the rest of this season.
 It is thought that he will be played at center in the game with the Newton Athletic club next Saturday. Dick Sheldon, Marshall, Cadwalader and Brown are each working hard for po- sition as guard. The honors are about even. The several injured men are stlll laid up.
 The final fall practice of candidates for the freshman class baseball team was held Tuesday afternoon. The men will be called out again about Wash ington's birthday
 A meeting of all those members CT the law school interested in baseball will be held this afternoon at O'CLOCK There is no reason why good team cannot be organized ill this department as there are several Varsity men among the students and many others who have played baseball.
 F. T. Murphy '97 and l.. M. Bass 5' will coach the Andover football team this year.
 Walter Camp 80 will give forecast os the various important football games in the November issue of Outing.

WHAT'S YOUR TRADE ?
Each Trade or Occupation Has It's
 Special Disease.


 It is well known among medical men that certain diseases are more readliy developed in certain occupations than in others. That each occupation has its attendant physical weakness E9Gi- neers, railroad men and similar occu- pations suffer mostly from kidney troubles, and men who are often eN- posed to the weather suffer from rhea- matism, while clerks and protessicnal men, in fact the army of people whose business keeps them indoors are oiteh- tunes great sufferers from piles ana constipation. In this connection the following letter is of interest to people whose occupation will not allow suill- cient outdoor exercise.
 MT. A. r. Calhoun, notary public and JeWeler and watchmaler of Circlevllie, W. Va, writes as follows:
 l had been a severe sufferer from piles for years and had tried many rem edies with but little benefit, when about three years ago I saw the Pyramid Plle Cure advertised and sent for it.
 l was badly afflicted when l got It, but after only two applications the piles disappeared and from that day to this have never felt a symptom of the disease.
 l feel that cannot recommend them too highly to sufferers from piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from cocaine, opium, or any mineral poison, absolutely safe, pleasant and painless; sold by druggists at 50 cents per pack age. If there is any constipation the Pyramid Pills should be used with the pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per package.
 Any druggist will tell you that the Pyramid is the best known and most successful and popular pile cure ever placed on the market, and it's reputa- tion as a safe and radical cure has only resulted from the personal recommend ation of people who have been cured of this distressing ailment
 Send to the Pyramid Co.,, Albion, Mich. for valuable little book on cause and cure of piles.

Grand Opera House.

| That virile American play, Northern Nights" will begin an enga cement lim- | tied to three nights at the Grand opera house tonight. It is an American play, having it's scenes laid in Montana at the l time of the Custer massacre, and touch es deep chords of human emotions. 1t is crowded with thrilling scenes which are logical and within the bounds of possibilities. and it warns one up to the highest point of enthusiasm and in- terest, Heroism and cowardice, sharp 1 1y contrasted, are the moving impulses of the play.
 A character of great magnetic force | is introduced prominently in John Swiftwind, -blooded Sioux Indian,
 who has been educated by the white l man and who is now assistant surgeon
 at the army post where the action takes place. Anoble character is this man who
 appalled, at the villany he sees before him, distrusts the white man, and up-
 on resuming his blanket, finds that he
 in turn is distrusted by his own peo- pie. Alone upon the face of the earth ] he finds his death in a heroic attempt to save the lives of those who have be- l friended him. The play in the last act introduces the Custer incident and l shows the inmates of Fort Terry be-
 sieged by the Indians, and their timely srescue.

 scented Their UItimatum.
 New York, Oct 13.-The threat of the carpenters of this city and vicinity to tie up a number of school buildings now in the course of construction within the Greater New York territory will be en- forced within the next few days, unless the contractors furnishing the material from western cities, to the exclusion of material made here, comply with the demand made yesterday by the mem- bers of organized labor in this city. It was said to-day that unless the contracts with out-of-town firms are revoked immediately, in compliance with New York union rules, work will be suspended within the next three or four days. If the mandate of the ex- ecutive council of carpenters and build ing trade woodworkers is not compiled with, a general strike, involving twenty | thousand mechanics engaged in the building trade industry, is imminent, and can be averted only by the compli- |>ance of the contractors with the rules of the union.

HENRY GEORGE IS CON EIDEN1 r

New York, Oct. 13.--In an interview regarding what he proposed to do if elected mayor of Greater New York, Henry George to-day said:
 cording to my Interpretation of the law, but I will tell you frankly what I think about this excise. I think it is an injustice and an absurdity, and am totally opposed to the existence of any would abolish it along with many other laws. If elected mayor, I would en- force the excise law just so far as the letter of it required, and not step be- yond.
 T believe in the largest possible lib- erty for the individual. I am Jeffer- sonian democrat We have too many laws. It is one of our greatest troubles this mass of restrictive legislation What one does, as long as it injures no one else, is no one else's business

TRIAL OF IT. D. CLARK BEGUN
In Superior Court Yesterday-C Charge
 With Embezzlement


 With Embezzlement
 The case of H. D. Clark, charged with embezzlemen of about $500 from Peck & Bishop, was begun yesterday after noon in the superior court Frank M Carroll, vice president of the Peck & Bishop company, was put on the stand for the prosecution. MT. Carroll testi- fled as to the amount of money that had been left in the office of the firm at the depot on the night when Clark disappeared. He said that little more than s1,3OO had been left in a drawer The money was in a shot bag and was partly cash and partly checks
 In cross examination he stated that it was a part of MT. Clark's duties to remain at the firms office in the depot certain hours each night. He said that he and Mir Merrills, an employe of the firm, were in the office with Mr. Clark in the earlier part of the evening on which MT. Clark and the money disap- peared.
 MT. Carroll identified the writing of letter submitted as evidence by State Attorney Williams as that of Mr. Clark. The letter in question was one written by Clark from San Francisco to E. L.. Norton, secretary and treasurer of the Peck & Bishop company. Clark stated in the letter that he remembered noth- ing since he kissed his wife good-by, evidently the evening before he disap- peared. He stated in the letter that he had found among his effects the shot bag in which money had been kept at the Peck & Bishop office, still con- taining few pennies, and feared that he had stolen some money, but could not remember as all that had trans pired since his leaving New Haven was a blank. He said that he had found on coming to himself that he had register ed at the hotel where he was staying as A. Walker of Philadelphia, and that he had arrived on election day He said that he intended to see the San Fran cisco chief of police and get his advice as to what to do. The letter was sub mitted as evidence. The court then ad- journed until 10 o'clock this morning with Mir. Carroll on the stand.

 "The Cherry Pickers," with its su- perb scenery, great cast and wealth of rich stage effects, is announced as coming attraction at the Hyperion to- morrow and Saturday evenings, and will be presented here with the same magnificance as in New York last sea- son. Oriental stage pictures are not new, but in the case of "The Cherry Pickers," they are interwoven deftly in- to romantic story, thus enhancing the interest of the production. A fortune has been spent in mounting the piece, which upholds Manager Pitou's reputa- tion for fine productions.
 Taking advantage of the oriental character of the story he has lavished money right and left on the costumes and the scenery. The first act is es- pecially rich in Oriental beauty. It represents the gardens of the British residency at Rawul Pindee, where there is a reception being held in honor of the building, the lofty terraces, the rich flora and the costumes of the native princes, the handsome military uni forms and the full dress of the Euro- peans, furnish a panorama of color that is almost dazzling. Not less magni- ficent are the furnishings of Mrs. O'Doa nell-Duleep's bungalow. with it's dis play of rare Indian curios; the fort of Candahar, with it's great gun and the Post Dak at Julduk. It is claimed for 1.-The Cherry Pickers'' that it is the best thing that Joseph Arthur has writ ten and it's production here is awaited with keen interest.
