Isaac Thompson, of Pawpaw, Passes
His 1O1st Birthday.

PAWPAW, ILL.,, Nov. 2O-Isaac Thompson,
of this place, believed to be the oldest man
in Illinois, passed his one hundred and first
birthday to-day, and a large reception was
given him in honor of the event. Mr..
Thompson was born in Pittston, Pa, and
lived there f1fty-eight years. He came to
Illinois in 1854 and has since resided here.
He is in excellent health, and walks about
his farm of 24O acres and attends to his own
fires. Last fall he walked to the polls and
voted for Mckinley. His hearing is slightly
impaired, but his mind is clear and his
memory as good as ever. He tells many in
teresting stories of the year 1912. In his
earlier day he was an influential factor in
political circles. He is the father of fifteen
children.

RAILWAY RATE WAR.
Reductions That May Involve Most
the Western Roads.

the western Roads.
CHICAGO. Nov. 2O.-The Chicago-St. Paul
roads met to-day with the members of the
executive committee of the Western Pas
senger Association to consider the reduc-
tion made yesterday by the Wisconsin Cen
trail In the rates between st. Paul and Min
neapolis and Chicago. AS the matter
stands, the cut made by the Wisconsin Cen
tral affects all transcontinentsl rates
those through the Missouri river gateways
as well as through st. Paul. The reduc-
tions in the through rates are sufficient to
allow a scalp in the rates if the Missouri
river lines attempt to keep the rates upon
their present basis, and this will mean de-
moralization all through the territory of the
Western Passenger Association. The
strongest kind of pressure was brought to
bear on the Wisconsin Central to induce it
to withdraw the rates it made yesterday,
but up to a late hour this afternoon it had
declined to do So 1t affirmed that it had
not been treated fairly by its competitors,
and that the latter had not in some in
stances observed their agreements to main
tain rates. and the only way it had of meet
ing their secret reductions was to come out
openly and reduce rates. 1t was admitted
at the meeting that passenger affairs in the
West had reached a crisis, and that ii the
Wisconsin Central and the other roads
which have met it's reduction cannot be
induced TO restore rates it is more than
likely there VIII be general rate war all
over the West, and particularly in the ter
ritory of the Western Passenger Association.
Notice has been given by the Wabash
road that 1t will make the same rates for
students going home for Thanksgiving as
have been made by the roads of the Cen
tral Passenger Committee. This means
that all of the roads in the territory of the
Western Passenger Association will make
the same rates as those announced by the
Wabash
crease Of "a per cent. over those for the
same week of last year. Fifty roads show
a ahnnt % ner cent

MEN KILLED INSTEAD OF DEER
Nine Fatalities i'm Michigan Woods
Owing to CareIessness of Hunters.

HOUGHTON, Mich, Nov. 20 The deer
season in Michigan has been open nine
days, and during that time nine men have
met death at the hands of hunters in the
upper peninsula. The Nimrods are mainly
armed with new model rifles, carrying
small caliber bullets and smokeless powder
cartridges. The new powder and new RI
fles in combination make terrible weapon,
and the bullets frequently carry for two
miles, having am effective range at 1900
upon the water when striking smooth and
hard projections at certain angles. No
man in the woods knows where his bullets
are going to stop, and even if he shoots a
deer and kills 1t his bullet may travel on
few hundred yards further and bag fell

MARGARET MATHER'S FATHER
John FinIaysOn Goes to the POOrhOuse
Because of Extreme Poverty.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. a.-Mayor May
bury yesterday was surprised to receive a
visit at his Office from John Finlayson,
father of Margaret Mather, the actress, but
what surprised him most was the fact that
Mr.. Finlayson came as supplicant for
aims, or assistance. He said he was utter
ly destitute and had to throw himself upon
the mercy of the public. When it was sug-
gested that his daughter might help him he
said he did not wish any assistance from
her The mayor gave him letter to the
poor commissioner, who will look after him
during the winter at least. Finlayson' S
poverty is caused by business reverses and
III health.

TRIBEsMEN NOT WHIPPED.
News from India Is Discouraging to
the British Government.

LONDON, Nov 2O.-The news from India
is about as discouraging as it can be. The
sudden recrudescence of activity on the
part of the trlbesmen when. it was thought
the affair was about finished, shows that
whatever the British officials may think
the natives of the invaded country are not
aware that they are beaten. Their supplies
of ammunition and food seem to be mex
haustible while, according to the latest evi-
dence, they have been in receipt of a con-
stant supply of rifles and cartridges from
birmingham via the Persian gulf and
AfghaniStan. A bad feature of the cam
paign is the rapid approach of winter. 1t is
already bitterly cold on the frontier, and the
British troops are not equipped for a win
ter campaign. The cost of the military
operations is already estimated at &2J00 600
($l2, SOC, ,000), and this amount will probably
be doubled before the close of the cam
paign.

The two elevens were a few minutes late
in making their appearance on the ground,
but when they trotted through the gates
into the arena, pandemonium reigned. The
members of the two elevens tumbled about
the gridiron for three or four minutes.
Meanwhile, Captains Rodgers, of Yale. ana
Cochran, of Princeton, were summoned to
the center of the field by Referee Langford
and the coin was tossed. Princeton won
and chose the north goal, with the wind
at their backs, the whistle was blown and
the struggle was on.
1t was Yale's fate to kick off, Chamber
lain started the game at 2Os by kicking off
to Baird, who Immediately returned the
ball to Yale's thirty-five-yard line. Nc
Bride kicked on the first down, and 1t
was Princetons ball in the center of the
field. Reiter tried right tackle and Ban
nard left end, and neither could gain. but
Wheeler made seven yards on mass play
on the right end. Two more downs were
tried and the ball went to Yale for holding.
Yale then tried a few rlshes but founo
Princeton's line fully as strong as Ear-
wards, so Mcbride was forced to kick For
a time the battle surged back and forth in
the center of the field, none of the running
backs being able to make the necessary dis
tance, and both Baird and Mcbride punt
ing on the third down. Finding that the
half backs were making no impression on
the Yale line, Baird made three attempts
to kick q goal from the field, starting the
first from the thirty-five-yard line and all
three were miserable failures. After that
the Yale line was never in danger during
the first half. Baird. however, showed his
wonderful kicking ability by placing some
magnificent punts down the field, two or
them being for over sixty yards.
A few minutes before time was called
Desaulles made his first sensational run or
the day. carrying the ball back after kick

When the teams lined up for the Secon0

Bequest with onerous Provisions.

among the charitable institutions last week
by the probating of the will of the late Mr.
John Thomas Morton, big jam and pro-
vision exporter, who left 950O,0O0 to charity
to the exclusion of his heirs. had a curious
setback in the case of the Moravian Church
missions, whose bequest of ESQ, 900 ($1, ,250,-
OOD promises to be a white elephant of the
most formidable and costly kind. The sec
retary of missions has published a letter
appealing to the friends of the organiZa-
tion to cease their congratulations, explain
ing that while the money bequeathed will
not be available for long time, when it is
actually paid not a penny is to be devoted
in establishing entirely new enterprises. In
other words, the unfortunate legatees have
been saddled with an obligation to apply
the immense sum exclusively to the estab-
lishment of missionary undertakings which
they will not have the means to support.

jr., who was arrested at Neuilly, near Paris,
on Oct. 23 charged with having embezzled
$4,000 belonging to the gratuity fund of the
New York Produce Exchange. while special

States, an application for which was made

embassy. He has retained as counsel Fred

the most prominent authority in France on

his arrest the prisoner, who was known as
Ward, denied that his name was Foster,
but on being confronted with Detective Nor
velle, who went to Paris to aid in his arrest
and identification, he admitted his identity.
