New Haven. Ct, November aO-Morris
q. Ely, the quarter of the Yale
eleven, whose injuries were at first be-
lieved to be merely bruises. but turned
out to be a fractured rib and broken
shoulder, is resting fairly comfortable
tonight He is apparently more broken
hearted over the loss of the game than
over his injuries. A strong sentiment
| is growing up among the students of the
university that he should be rewarded
with the captaincy Of the eleven for next
year. Should Ely not be made captain
the only logical candidate is Mcbride.
The result of the game with Harvard
seems to have created the strongest sort of
feeling at Yale that the system of vol
upteer graduate coaching is at fault for
| the two defeats and that next year
| Yale must have not only an able and
| professional trainer, but also head coach.

Capt Leavitt started on his last voyage
March 10, 1893. He fully intended to re-

the fact that they had not been very sue.
cessful at the ;.end of three years they
decided to stop over another season. The
vessel remained and they were to have
come away late last fall, but owing to
the unusual early freezing over of the
OCEAN below where their vessel was leca-
ted. they decided it was useless to at
tempt the return as there was danger OF
being frozen in with the other vessels
for the winter. Capt. Leavitt was then
in command of the steamer Mary

Whaling company, vessel OF 1856 tons.
Capt. Leavitt was asked about his ex
perienoe last winter while locked in the
ice feids. He replied that they had
enough to eat such as it was, considering
that most of the eatables are canned
goods At one time they were short Of
butter ard sugar and other similar arti

food to satisfy hunger. He says, also,
that some of the vessels that were. located

more, than his crew. although the newpa

than it really was. !

1t is a dreadful, eternal truth. Men and wo-

of this in the m~atter-of-fact newspaper re-

such as disappointed love, financial ruin,
actual or impending disgrace and thwarted
ambition. The most prevalent reason is not
dwelt upon, except in rare cases, because to
the unthinking reader it is less impressive
than the others. Yet the fact that sufferers
from real or imaginary disease, despairing
of a cure, take their own lives, is the most
appalling Of all the doleful facts connected
with suicide. Within a few weeks three wo-

When the news of the sinking OF the
Spanish war vessel Alphonso 18th
reached this place on Friday evening
Of last week, the entire population
seemed to have suddenly united in a
wild and prolonged demonstration of
hilarious joy. Flaming hon fires were
kept aglow to a late hour OF the night:
the deafening roar of cannon giant

mountains and plains; the unceasiLg
explosion of fire crackers, and the
pyrotechnic display on the streets ad.
ded their full share to the imposing
status of the scene, and the myriads of
flags that gently kissed the passing
breeze served to give additional empha-
sis to the fact that patriotism was run
ming rampant in Custer. There was but
INT sad feature In connection with the
whole affair, and that was that there
was no foundation for the report, and,
as afterward learned, the old tub was
still afloat.
