After Being Married, Young Woman
Dies ADder an Operation.

BOSTON, November 12.-While death
was near her.. Miss Lizzie Anna LARA
bee, OF Wilmington, was married last
night to Charles e. Clark. a Harvard
law-school student, to whom for some
time she had been engaged. She died
two hours later. On Thursday last she
was taken Ill. and physicians at once saw
that her condition was critical, and that
Miss Larrabee must submit to surgical
operation or die from appendicitis. She
consented TO give herself into the hands
of the surgeons. but asked that she
might be united to the man OF her choice
before the terrible ordeal was COM
menced. The wedding vas performed
by Rev. Elijah Harmon. Of the Congre-
sational Church. When the final words
had been spoken the young woman was
ready, and bade the doctors set about the
operation. At $50 the operation had
been performed, and two hours later
Mrs. Clark was dead.

HARvARD-YALE FOOTBALL.
Enormous Crowd Expected mt To-
Days Contest.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS, November H.
There was general dismay in Cambridge
this morning at the forbidding aspect
of the weather. An all-night rain ana
a heavy, driving sleet during the fore
noon turned Soldiers Field into a lake.
The football eleven went through the
signals indoors, and received closing
words OF advice from the coaches. Soon
after noon, however, the rain ceased.
Contrary to expectation. the Harvard
first eleven and the substitutes were
called out for practice at half-past 5
O'Clock. After the mornings downpour
ended a gang of men were put on SOL
diers' Field, with buckets and shovels,
and by the time the players trotted on
to the field nearly every puddle had
been scoopeo up. The sod was still soft
and mushy. but II IS drying fast under
high northwest wind.
The practice of the regular field was
limited to catching and returning the
bali on the kickoff The ball usually
went to Haughton, who caught 1t fnva-
riably. and sent 1t back for sixty or
seventy yards. When another player
caught the ball, he passed IL to Haugh-
ton, who punted. His punting was SLOW
but very strong.
After ten minutes Of this work the
men went out on one of the practice
fields where the ground was harder, and
went through signals for ten minutes.
The practice was open, but there was
only a handful OF spectators. The men
were spared perceptibly on account OF
the sloppy condition OF the field, and
there was no effort to practice sharply.
The lineup was as follows and 1t VIII
probably be the same tomorrow
Cabot, left end; Swain, left tackle;
Bouve. left guard; Doucette. centre;
Haskell, right guard; Donald, right
tackle; Moulton, right end; Garrison
quarter back; Dibblee. left half-back;
Warren. right half-back; Haughton, full
back.
Arrangements have been perfected Tor
handling the enormous crowd expected
at to-morrow's contest. The betting IS
100 to 50 against Yale.

THE OPIUM EVIL.

The report of a committee of the Grand
Jury in the matter OF opium dens in San
Francisco directs attention to facts upon
which the proper authorities should act
without delay. 1t was apparent to the
com mittee that while the police had
closed most of the dens to the general
public, large mum Der of places yet exist
where the use of the drug in all its forms
may be INDUCED in. These places are
conducted in a secret manner so as to
evade the law, but they are most serious
menace to the moral and physical health
Of the community.
These private dens are easily accessible
TO the initiated and their friends, and
young men and girls, it is shown, find
means to visit them and become victims TO
the terrible drug. Thus youth is de-
bauched, and the opium den furnishes the
greater portion of the criminal element of
this City and State. This latter state
ment is confirmed by the prison authori-
ties.
II is horrible thing to contemplate
this fact that white girls as well as white
boys are enticed into the opium dens OF
Chinatown and become regular habitues.
These slnkholes of perdition should be
cleaned out. The police should spare no
effort to rid the City of these plague-spots.
so far as they are discoverable, and the
majority of them can easily be found.
There is a law to meet the case, aud public
decency demands that the evil be checked.

The COMING INVASION.

The Christian Endeavorers of this City
are making gratifying progress III their
preparations for the monster convention
now only fifteen days away. The finances
are reported to be in most encouraging
condition and the subscription list rapidly
growing. 1t could not we'll be otherwise
in a country where the people are natur-
ally liberal, and especially when the
benefits to be derived from the welcome
invasion OF the thousands OF intelligent,
energetic, up-to-date young people are
considered.
The hospitality of California is pro-
verbal and the Endeavofers will not be
disappointed in their best anticipations,
we venture to say. 1t will never be said
that any big city OF the East gave warmer
greeting to the hosts OF this great society
than San Francisco accorded them.
They will be so we'll treated and they
will be so delighted with our land of sun
shine. fruits. flowers, gold. big trees, en-
trancing scenery and wonders without
number that they will be eager to come
back 10 us after their return home and
when the international convention OF
1897 has become a happy memory.

BNGLAND's MODEL QUEEN.

Report hath it that at the close of her
diamond jubilee Queen Victoria. on ac-
count of u maiaGy which IS slowly taking
away her sense OF vision, will abdicate in
fav or OF her son Albert, Prince of Wales.
Nevertheless. she will have completed the
most glorious reign in all the history of
England. The sixty years of her benign
sway have witnessed marvellous progress
in that empire upon whose territory the
sun never sets, and the roll of whose
morning drum never ceases while the orb
Of day continues on his journey round
The earth.
During these three score years over ,50O,-
600 square miles have been added to the
already vast British empire. One million
square miles of this has been acquired in
Africa alone. The annual exports and
imports of England are to-day five times
as great as they we're in 1887. The income
tax penny, which. when it was first lev
led, only drew f700, 900, now yields f2 25O,-
000 Probate was paid in England on
$50 600 0C0 in 1888; il had mounted mp to
El64 600, eco in 1894. No one will denv the
statement OF w. T. Stead, in the Review
of Reviews. that England has become
the creditor of the world" She is mis-
tress OF the Seven Seas, and the forges of
her shipbuilders never grow cold.
Steam and electricity have wrought
wonders since the Queen assembled the
throne. Then the United States was
reached from England in month; now
the distance is covered in five days. Then
forty days were required to reach India
where now it takes but fourteen, while
Anstralia i- 80 opA
il wss SIX months in 1897 The cables
cow transmit thought to the furthest cor
ner of the earth in the twinkling of an
eye. On jubilee day London will be ablaze
with electric light, which was undreamed
of sixty years ago.
What is more, the wages of the British
workingman ars to-day fully double
what they were at the beginning of the
Victorian era. Then he had no vote; now
he votes for everything. Then he had to
pay shilling for what penny will pur-
chase to-day. Since 1887 Canada's popu-
iation has increased from 1000, 900 10
6,000.Q00; Australia from 175, 600 to 4, 4,000,-
600. Education in England was Tor the
classes exceptionally in 1887; the masses
have free schools and free II ibraries to-day,
along with free parks free museums and
free baths. The subjects of Queen Victo-
ria to-dey number 300, 0O0, 900. II it were
not for the one exception OF the Irish peo-
pie it might be said that Victoria's reign
has been fraught with blessings for every
portion of the British EN- pire,
Her eyes may not behold the mighty
pageant of the jubilee, but she will feel all
the Joy in her heart as she listens to the
cheers of the millions rising amid the sa-
lutes of many guns on sea and land and
hears betimes the voice of her people in
chorus sublime. Hail. Victoria"

A NEW HORACE.
Boston Post

The poem which Pope Leo XIII has given to
the world will have wider reading than his
wisest encyclical; ana this not altogether
through curiosity as to the metrical utter
ances of the head of the Catholic church. but
by reason OF the captivating sense Of the
verses themselves. Indeed. II may be said
that the practical wisdom contained in these
lines is as great as that OF many formal eccle-
astical documents.
The present Pope has before this shown
himself in close touch with modern thought
and progress on educational, social and ma
teriai lines, and now he demonstrates his clear
comprehension OF an important point of mo-
rality as concerned with individual conduct
His ode in praise of frugsiity has, moreover
literary merit which places it alongside of the
classics. 1t has the simplicity of art which
distinguishes Horace and plain d irectness of
express ion which gives his verses a pertinent
charm.
