AN ADEouArE INCLINATION.

Yale is black and blue to-day, and there are several explanations of the tragedy. One of them, which doesn't seem to find much favor, is that she didn't play as well as Princeton. Another, which does find much favor, and which is probably the true one, is that the faculty lost the game. It is charged that two of the players have been deprived of many days practice because they had conditions. It is stated that a player who is not able to pass the examinations should be drop ped into the next lower class and al lowed to continue to play on the team. There is also complaint about the rule of the faculty which compels the men who play on the teams to have a stand of 2.25 on scale of 4 before they can play, while the other men in col lege have to sustain stand of only ? on scale of 4.
 There can be little doubt about the truth and the justice of these charges and complaints And there is another charge which perhaps ought to be made against a faculty that has been the humble instrument where by great game of football has been lost. Insanity has been defined as a loss of the sense of proportion. What kind of sense of proportion has Uni versity faculty which discriminates against football in favor of sound learning?

NEW YORK INDIANS PROGRESS.

NEW YORK INDIANS PROGRESS. Some of the Indians in the interior of New York haven't watched the Tam
 many Indians for nothing. J. R. Jew ell, in charge of the New York Indian
 agency in his report to the Interior
 department says that after careful in vestigation he believes the funds of the Seneca nation are almost wholly ab- | sorbed by the officers of the nation, and
 that they are in collision with white men for such purposes. The Senecas on the Allegany and the Cattaraugus reservations are corporate body un- der the name of the Seneca Nation of Indians, and have a common interest in the lands of both reservations From
 among the few of the corrupt dynasty of officers, a president is elected upon the Cattaraugus reservation one year
 vation, and the next year a president from the Allegany reservation and usu- ally the preceding treasurer is elected
 president and the former president
 elected treasurer The officers notori- ously use the funds of the nation to purchase the votes of the ignorant and illiterate Indians, who, on election day, are always anxious for a small sum of money The better class of Indians are
 not numerous enough to overcome the power of those corrupt Indians, who have the funds of the Ration with
 which to corrupt the masses and per- petuate their corrupt dynasty. Agent Jewell says: I am satisfied that the present dynasty is no more corrupt than any other government by the h.
 dians themselves. Tn fact, the present | dynasty is composed of the most pro-
 gressive of the Indians, but their prog
 ress seems to be directed towards ab- | sorbing for themselves and misappro- priating all the funds of the nation.
 Each year before the election this dynasty votes large sums of money to an executive committee" to carry the
 election for itself At the last
 election in May, 1898, which I was
 obliged to attend, this executive com-
 mittee, to which had been voted a large
 sum of money was openly using it to purchase votes.
 | Lo the poor Indian seems to be gel l ting heap civilized.

Samples of dress goods were formerly sent in unsealed envelopes, almost in- Variably, but they were so apt to slip out and get lost that the practice has been generally abandoned. Some of these samples are quite expensive, and it doesn't pay to take chances"
 A theatrical agent contributed a fragment of curious information to the store. '"rhe big dramatic agencies, and, in fact, the managers of all the more important attractions" he said, keep lists of newspaper editors and critics all over the country and send them regularly little tissue slips containing notices printed In imitation of the typewriter. These were originally sent out under a one-cent stamp to save postage, but the results were so un- satisfactory that the two-center was adopted, Of course, the cost is some thing enormous, as the lists are large and the slips are sent out quite fre- quently, but the returns must justify the extra outlay, as nobody has gone back to the old plan. In fact, the one- cent stamp was hugely illogical for that particular purpose, as the imita- tion of the typewriter was intended to give the inclosure personal air which was at once defeated by the appear ance of the envelope. Even marked papers mailed by the dramatic agents at present are supplied with two-cent stamps. They attract attention and make the package seem extra import ant."-The New Orleans Times-Demo- crat

FASHION NOTES.
New Tricks With Collars.

One of the many pretty new neck notions is a sailor collar of satin or taffeta, silk lined and variously elabo- rated. The ends of the collar are heightened to meet about at the bust line, or as far down as the belt. Such a collar is to be worn over the should CTS of low neck gown, turning a full regalia dinner dress into a modest little affair suitable for o'clock receiv- ing in ones own house. The opening in front can be regulated to taste and the collar may droop or not at the back. The ends may be fastened close together making point, or the collar may be fastened higher up each side and the ends allowed to hang free
 Such an affair of white satin thickly strewn with gold spangles' and edged with a fluffy little ruche of chiffon is as pretty as can be for wear with all most any light dress. The same thing in black is equally pretty and perhaps more varieusly useful. It may be worn over a high neck dress, too, lending

Reasons for the Discontinuance of
 Their Use by Commercial Houses.
 One of the curious circumstances of modern commercial life is the passing of the one-cent stamp. It is rapidly go- ing out of date for the mailing of cata- logues, circulars, samples and other matter sent through the postoffice in large quantities by business houses and many concerns have ceased to use it altogether. A few days ago a re- porter dropped in at the private office of one of the leading retail establish ments of this city and observed a bushel basket of freshly addressed en- velopes in one corner. A busy clerk was decorating each with a two-cent stamp.

shoulders and was heavy ecru lace. It was the handsomely decorative portion of jacket of odd cut. Black satin faced cloth was it's material, which was laid in side pleats below the collar, it's basque having similar treatment. Loose fronts opened over a box pleated vest that was ornamented with buttons and that had a stock collar to match. Black satin ribbon belted the garment, which was picturesque and quite re- moved from conventionality.
 Gray gloves are in for a second sea- son of fashionableness. Very dark so dark they seem black unless put be- side that color, are again the right thing when dark glove is wanted. Dull fawn, tea color, and light mode that is pale putty or oyster color are among the accepted shades for winter. White for dress of the church, calling and afternoon kind is as correct as ever.

The largest locomotive ever built has just been constructed for the Union railroad of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
 by the Pittsburgh locomotive and car works. It weighs 23O,OOO pounds, and the weight on the drivers is 20SG00 pounds. The cylinders are 29xS2 inches, and the total boiler-heating surface is 1922 square feet. This locomotive,
 which is one of a number designed for the Union railroad, is intended to draw the heavy trains bearing iron ore, coke, and mill and furnace products to and from the various works of the Carnegie
 Steel company. An engine of this size could haul a paying load of 135.O0O bushels of wheat on such a track as is found between Syracuse and Albany, an amount equal to the cargo of an average lake steamer. The construc- ton of a number of large engines within the last few months seems to in-

A Philadelphia woman, who is fond of pets, has concluded to establish ca nine cemetery near the city where val ued animals may be respectfully inter- red at life's close. The ground selected is in New Jersey, and can be reached by trolley cars. It will be decorated with trees and ornamental plants, orders having been already given for number of dogwood trees and dogtooth violets. The canine cemetery will only be avail able for select animals, as every animal inferred must have it's grave marked with it's name on a headstone. The plan for the gateway is quite handsome, the gate being surmounted by the figure of a noble hound, "Lewellyn."

TAKING LIGHTNING STORMS.

An extremely interesting paper on the
subject Of lightning-fiash photographs ap-
pears in a recent number of La Nature,
Illustrated by one of the most remarkable
photographs of this kind Of subjects. NJ.
G. Toppe, of Paris, who has been working
at this kind of photography, was prepar-
ing for effects in an approaching storm,
and found his camera including the Eifel
Tower within it's field. One Of the photo
graphs secured by him depicts a streak of
lightning actually striking the summit Of
the tower and it is represented with start
ling distinctness, while in another part of
the picture is seen not nearly so bright.
The excessive brittany and width of the
bright flash as represented is ascribed to
the circumtance that just at the time a
shower of rain began to fall Another
view taken directly afterward, gives an
excellent picture of clouds, the flashes
that Illuminated them having been outside
the field of view. Although the focus was
the same in each negative, the outlines of
the tower in the last named are crisp and
clear, but in that taken during the shower
they are of the fuzzytype order.

Amateur Photographic Points
1NTENs1FY1NG THE NEGATIVE.

INTENSIFYING THE NEGATIVE.
ANA teur photographers often find them
selves in the following dilemma: They
have negative which is little too thin
to be quite satisfactory, but which would,
when intensified, lose aliits beautiful de-
licacy of half tone. This requisite light
amount of density is best impaired to the
photographer as follows: Save little Of
your old pyro developer and allow 1t TO oxi
die Qf you have no pyro compound as
developer, dissolve little Of the chemical
in water without a preservative); when
brown the solution is ready for use. I'm
merse the negative In it for few minutes.
1t will be found stained yellow all over,
and will be found TO yield a much better
print than before. What has really hap
pened is that the pyro and gelatine COM
bining have formed a slight secondary
image, yellow in color, but exactly coin
cident with the silver image. The mega
tive is really, therefore, intensified, but
different from all other methods Of inten-
sinfcation it yields prints free from heavy
opacity in the shadows and chalkiness in
the high lights:

LENGTH OF WASHING.

Amateurs often experience much diff
Guilty in determining how long to wash
their plates and prints when their water
supply is different to that mentioned in
the plate makers diectirons. The fol-
lowing is an almost infallible test. Take
a piece of printing out paper (some print
that was either too dark or too light to
be Of other use will do pefectlry welD,
wash it as you do ordinary prints before
toning. Now, during the last five min
utes Of the intended washing, arrange
this piece Of printing out paper so that
half of tits immersed in the washing wa
ter and half not. If after five minutes
there is any difference in color between the
immersed and unimmersed halves, the
hypo is not entirely removed and washing
must be continued till it is. Faint traces
Of hypo tend to yellow the immersed part
Of the printing out paper.
