CARLISLE %, ILLINOIS 6.
The Indians Defeat the PaIefaces BE.
fore Mig Crowd in
Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-The Carlisle Indians
tonight defeated the University OF Illinois
football eleven by score of % to 6. The
game was played in the Coliseum and prob
ably 1900 people were present. Society
was out in force and the boxes along the
side lines were filled with gayly dressed
women and their escorts VINO were almost
unanimous in roofing for the redskins.
The game was almost counterpart of the
one between the Indians and the University
of Wisconsin last year. The paleface buck
ers had the better of the first half scoring
a touchdown in the first ten minutes play
ing. That, however, was the only time they
saw the good side of their dusky oppo-
nents' goal line. and in the second half the
fierce line-bucking of the red men SIM
feet. There was very little punting done by
either side. The field was well lighted,
over 100 arc lights being used, but the yel-
cult to see the ball when 1t was kicked. and
both teams refrained from it.
Hudson. the Indian quarterback. dropped
line in the first half. This was the sum
total of their scoring in that half. Illinois
had previously made touchdown. Secur-
ing the ball in the center of the field. the
men hammered steadily at the
Carlisle line, using the guards back and
tandem formations. which were so effective
in their game against the. University of
Chicago Hall finally was forced over for
a touchdown. Shuler kicked an easy goal.
In the second half. the Indians changed
their tactics. They hau been trying the
ends with only fair success. Coffeen and
Beadle doing nice work in breaking up in
reference. Line bucking was resorted to
in the second half, play which invariably
resulted in a good gain. being hurdle
by Metoxen between left guard and tackle.
Only twice in the second half did the reds
lose the ball on downs and twice Bemus
Pierce. catching the kickoff on the 10 yard
line, returned the ball to the Illinois 50
yard line. Mcfarland made two touch
downs in quick succession and MetoXen
made another. little Hudson kicking goals
in each case. The bali was in Carlisle's

SHE WOULD WEAR A STAR.
Wants to Be a Chicago PO-
liceman.

Chicago. Nov. 20.-Rev. Anna H. Shaw
wants 70 be policeman. She declared
herself to that effect from the rostrum d
the Y. NJ. C. A. lecture hall at the after
noon session of the two days conference
which opened there yesterday under the
auspices of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association and the Chicago Polit-
ical Equality League. For ten years. she
said, she had been fired with an ambition
for office, and then expatiating for some
minutes upon the propriety of any citizen
entertaining a similar yearnlng, she an
nounced to her hearers that the office
which she would rather hold than any
other in a large municipality was that OF
a common policeman.
IF the mayor of this city had the in
sight into existing sociological conditions
which he ought to have and which his
successor Of loo years hence will possess he
would realize the importance of having
women represented on the police force"
she said.
When the applause which greeted this
had subsided the speaker continued:
And If he wanted to know where to
find women to fill the positions and fill
ranks of the Salvation Army and the
American Volunteers could be obtained on
short notice 200 women whose presence on
do more toward elimination of crime than
many times that number of men.
ut Is often asked with relation to the
women police idea how a woman would
go about arresting man. The fact is
that under present conditions few men
are arrested. Arrests constitute but a
small part of a policemans duty. 1t ought
people from becoming criminals as to take
them into custody after they have gone
wrong. 1t is in this direction that the
presence of women on the police depart
ment would he a benefit. I would rather
be a police officer in Chicago or New York
than mayor of either city.

BAD NEWS FROM INDIA.
ress in Putting Down the
Rebellion.

London, Nov. 2O.-(Copyright. 1897. by the
Associated Press) The news from India
is about as discouraging as 1t. can be. The
sudden recrudescence of activity upon the
part of the tribesmen when it was thought
that 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
latest evidence they have been in receipt
of a constant supply of rifles and cartridges
from Birmingham via the Persian gulf and
Afghanistan.
A bad feature Of the campaign is the
rapid approach of winter. 1t is already Bit
terly cold on the frontier, and the British
troops are not equipped for 81 winter cam
paign. The cost of the military operations
Is already estimated at $l2.NO.N0. and this
amount will probably be doubled before the
close of the campaign.
