A French idea Of Footbau.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Post quotes a description BY
q French expert" of the game OF foot
ball. which reads as follows
Everybody knows that the game of
football consists in projecting a ball
about as large as an apple through the
space between two posts about six yards
high. which are placed not more than one
yard apart. The ball may either be
kicked or thrown. No player may grasp
an adversary around the body, but every
thing else is allowed, even tripping up or
the most brutal blows. When one con
siders that the pitch is of limited dimen-
-sions.twenty yards by twenty-ive-and
that the number of players is forty-two,
it is easy to imagine the danger run by
the athletes who indulge in football. All
the players hurl themselves at the one
who has possession of the ball. in the
middle of the ground is a stand for the
umpire, his being. necessary so that he
shall not be suffocated in the many
brushes which occur. Candles (prob-
ably meaning when the bail is in touch)
form the principal part of the game. This
is what is meant by a candle: A PLAYER
takes the ball and throws it as high as
he can in the air. When it comes down,
everybody kicks at once Thus it fire.
quently happens that a .footbailer' re-
ceives a kick in his face and departs
minus an eye. So there is always a doc
tor in attendance. Every year the vic
TINS of the Foot Ball Association are
numerous. But, after all. nobody will
be astonished at the brutality of the
game, knowing that it comes from Spain.

TRENTON, April IA, 1S97.-The Court
of Pardons yesterday took action in a
number of cases, the most important OF
which We're those Of Edith Behrs who is
serving three months sentence in the
Union county Jail for assaulting two
young men, and Daniel Ackermanl who
was sentenced to be hanged in Passaic
county, for killing his wife. The Court
committed Ackerman's sentence to one
of Imprisonment for life.
Before deciding the Behr case the
Board listened to Warden Brewer, of the
Union county jail Mr.. Brewer told
about the girls behaviour since her i'm
prisonment. He said that she was vio-
graceful. The Court decided thai there
was no mitigating circumstances in the
girls. case and that the sentence which
was imposed upon her by Judge McCor-
mack should be allowed to stand.
When the girl was first sentenced there
was sought to be created a sentiment in
her favor, but the effort fell fat. as it
was brought out that the girl was a
rough character, full of ght and prone
to swearing. Judge Mccormack. in SEN
fencing her, accused her of having de-
Eberately sworn to lies while on the
stand.
In committing Ackerman's sentence the
Court gave it to be understood that no
petitions for any further clemency would
be entertained. Alderman killed his
wife, who was unfaithful. The killing

The Court granted a parole in the case
of William E.. Reen, one of the Hudson
county ballot box suffers. Reen, when
convicted, carried his case to the Court
Of Errors, but pending a disposition of
the case he was surrendered by his
months in Jail when the upper court af-
frmed the conviction. The original sem
tence was for eighteen months, and as
Reen has now been in confinement more
than that length of time, the parole was

Nayiscence, a rapid torrent. It includes
several villages, among others Chando-

Europe. It's population has given rise
to lively controversy. Desor considered

Tschudi regarded it as Celtic. A. K.
Fisher, in a recent work, Is Of another
opiafon. He considers that the inhabi-

formally with local tradition. A small
band of Huns was separated from he
main body and established itself in the
Fournanche Valley. Afterward, at the
time of the Lombard Invasion, in the
second half Of the sixth century, they
fled into the valley Of Anniviers. then

THE most disastrously defeated and

the malignant organ of the East Jersey
Water Company.

universal chorus of exclamation, last
night, when the result was known.

trolling issues with vigor, but not one
word of scurrility was permitted to enter

ing was the effective one seems to. be
sufficiently demonstrated.

which yesterdays election teaches to

THE Jersey City News is the infuen-
tial paper of this city. AS it goes, so
goes the vote.
Last year. when we led the fight

IN the fall election, when We cham
pioned the gold cause in National mat
ters n the regular Democratic nomi-

by the Mckinley electors and by William
Heller and James T. Lillis.

Republican offences against the people,
Mr.. Hoos and the ticket carried the city
by an ~unexampled majority.
