NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 20.-The
surprise of the. season. In the vfootbal
world was furnished by Brown here to-
day, when they broke through Yale's
line almost at we'll and ram up a total
score of fourteen points to Yales eight
cen, scoring three touchdowns against
the home team, the largest score ever
made on the Yale field against Yale
eleven. Yale secured no more touch
downs than did the visitors, but her goal
kicker, Guard Cadwallader, was sue
cessful in trying for goal, while Hill, who
made the attempt after Browns touch
downs, failed in all but One CHARGE. 1t
was terrific shock for Yale to see her
line swept away by the Brown backs,
after the manner in which Princeton
found it all holes last fall, but the medi-
cine was swallowed with the hope that
it will be beneficial.
Philadelphia-The Pennsylvania foot
ball team. composed of seven regulars
and four substitutes, defeated. the state
college team this afternoon, 20 to 0, in
twenty minute halves. Three touch
downs were made in the first half and
two in the second. The heavy rain of

Pennsylvania's comparatively light
team was almost impossible.

eff the managers of the Eastern roads
had been satisfied with fair and reasonable
rates. said a shipper they would now
have been doing a good and profitable BUSH
ness; but. with their usual avariciousness,
when they saw an Improvement in the
financial and business conditions Of the
country they began to screw up their
freight rates little by little until they became
so prohibitive as to stop east-bound ship
ments by rail almost entirely. They had
hoped the lake lines would aid them in the
maintenance of the exorbitant rates and had
arranged with them to advance rates on
Oct. Is. The lake lines failed however, to
carry out their part of the agreement, and
continued to take the business at the old
rates. Last week east-bound roads from
Chicago and st. Louis were to have given
grain and flour rates another twist upwards
but the tension appears to have been so
great as to demoraiize rates, and instead of
an advance greatly reduced rates are being
offered, not only on export, but also on do
nestle business, If reports are true The 500
line started the trouble by announcing a D.
cent reduction in the rate on flour from Min
neapolis by rail and lake to New York. The
500 lines excuse for its action was that the
competing lines had made longtime con-
tracts at the old rates that could not now
be terminated. Upon investigation it was
found that such contracts were in existence,
and regular stampede in rate reduc-

YESTERDAY THE HEAVIEST IN

Quency Accrues To-Day.

L think this is the worst day ever spent
in this Office" declared Deputy County
Treasurer Miller yesterday afternoon, as he
mopped his brow and buried his nose in a
long column of figures. Inside the cashiers
box Deputy Wallace stood ralxing in the
ducats at furious rate, while Deputy Gus
Schmidt was calling off the list Of belated
taxpayers. Outside the crowd surged rest
lessly, and cast uneasy glances at the big
clock on the wall 1t was the last day for
paying the fall installment Of taxes, and
there were many tardy ones. After o'clock
last night all who had not settled with the
county treasurer were delinquent Beginning
with this morning the 20 per cent. penalty
accrues on all current taxes and 10 per cent
on Barrett law assessments.
In the opinion of the tired deputies the
rush at the treasurers office yesterday was
the greatest in years. The crowd came with
the opening of the doors in the morning.
One man said az o'clock last evening that
he had been there since o'clock in the
morning. His name had not been called. 1t
was estimated that the receipts yesterday
in cash and checks would amount to 100000.
The heaviest check received was from the
Union Railway Company. 1t represented the
last installment of the companys taxes, and

through with the great pile of mail that
has accumulated in the office in tine last few

is said at the treasurer's office that the ma

checks. They are usually the last to settle
their accounts with the taXgatherer.

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH
Pleasant, simple, but Safe and Eff

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been COM
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual sympte are a full or bloating sensa-
ton after ea.ing, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, a formation OF
gases, causing pressure on the heart and

stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny. infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly dgested
before it has time to ferrnent and irfitate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlandson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal

TIFTANY,s GRAVITY CLOCK.
1t Causes Many Persons to Think of
Perpetual Motion.
Brooklyn Eagle.


One of the most interesting objects placed
in a New York show window for a long time
past is that Of Tiffany & Co.'S recent inn
attracts large crowds l Gaiv t TO wstch it,
wonderful mechanism and has caused many
persons to think that the problem of per-
petual motion has at last been solved.
The dial and clock case are entirely of
glass; showing the whole mechanism of its
most interesting features. In appearance
the clock suggests a finely finished model
Of machine or hosting apparatus, rather
than a timepiece The dial is secured to
an upright brass A" structure. This lat
ter Is surmounted by q round aneroid ba-
rOmeter, which suggests the familiar steam
gauge. Around the dial is a large fly wheel
wheel is an endless bucket chain lift. con,
structed upon the principle of a grain ele-
vator, with a Thermometer on the post of
one little Weighted balls, each about the
size of a large pea, are employed to oper-
ate the clock; they are drawn up on the
a minute into a conduit over the fly wheel,
from which they roll into the sockets of the
wheel. The wheel carries twenty-one of the
balls at one time and their weight revolves
the wheel The power thus produced swings
the pendulum and governs the hands on the
dial. The wheel carries the balls about a
third of the way round and then they drop
into another conduit, triple incline, which
finally lands them at the foot of the ele>
vator again, where the endless chain gath
ers them up for another swing around the
circuit. Some fine mathematical work has
been requisite for this clock, as everything
about it depends upon the most exact cal
culaticn. The balls must be all of exactly
the same weight, and the momentum of
each must be the same, for if any one of
them were to lose a fraction of second in
descending the triple incline it would miss
is proper pocket on the lift and stop the
clock. Each OF the little spheres travels
200 feet and inches each day, and in the
course of year makes journey of over
fourteen miles 1 + they Were to travel v IN
six hundred miles within year. OF course
the problem OF perpetual motion has not
been solved so there must be a hidden
mechanism. The clock is mounted upon a
beautiful Brazilian onyx base, inside of
which is a regular clock movement, which
does not run the clock proper. but merely
operates the elevator A clock movement
is employed for this part because of the
necessity for accuracy; 1t supplies the
power and also controls 1t, so that the chain
escapes with precision once every moment.

section have been urging the board to come
out and discuss the matter with them. AL
though the commissioners look with favor.
on the scheme, they are in doubt about the
county being able to pay for the bridge at

South Side people differ materially on the
question of the location of the bridge. The

NJ G. Mulhall, in North American Review.
1t appears that as regards quantity three
Americans now export as much as five did
twenty years ago. which suffices to show
how groundless are the predictions Of some
writer's who tell us that as population in-
creases SO the surplus products for ex-
portation must diminish. In the last twen-
ty years population has risen from forty
five to seventy-one million souls, an Increase
of 5S per cent, and at the same time the
weight Of exports has risen 175 per cent
that is, three times as fast as population.
The quantities of food yearly exported are
SUFFICIENT to feed thirty million persons in
Europe from which 1t appears that Ameri-
can farms raise food for 100 100000 of people
yearly The Western prairies are capable
of carving double the present number of
live stock and producing ten times as much
grain as they do, so that, for at least a GEN.
fury to come there is every probability that
the expectation of food will increase with
population. The same is true as regards
cotton the crop having risen 125 per cent.
in twenty years.
The world is only beginning to have evil
dence of the enormous productive power
Of the United States.
