OPINION OF THE YALE NEWS.
 Concerning the result of the Yale Harvard game Saturday the Yale News said editorially yesterday morning:
 Tt has shown clearly that what Yale must have next year is head coach who will supervise the coaching de- partment; arrange schedule for grad uate players who are willing to return keep a careful watch over the class room work of the men and to a certain extent guide the efforts of a physical trainer. In other words, we believe in the head-coach system, for that system alone can give continuity and unity to the seasons training which has become so essential a feature. This unity is lost by such q method as Yale pursued this fall.
 Harvard deserves all the glory which the victory gives her, and we extend Yale's hearty congratulations to Captain Dibblee and his men. As to our own team, we have nothing but praises for them and can only assure them that they hold high place in our estimation as men of true steel who fought well for the honor of their uni VerSity."

THE CHAMPION SNEEZER.
Kentucky Man Who Could Break
Up a Camp Meeting.

DID you ever know man who could
sneeze loud enough to break up a camp
meeting, to stop the taking Of testi-
mony in court and cause a believing
cow to stop in disgust and wonder
what the noise was that was drowning
it's thunderous voice?" said an old fish
erman last night.
On being informed that his sneezer
was entitled to cake and all the acces-
sories necessary to conduct IN up-to-
date bakery, the gentleman consented
to tell more of his sneezing friend He
said:
While fishing in a mountain town in
Eastern Kentucky last fall / went to
the village near by one rainy morning
to attend Circuit Court The Judge
was delivering an impressive charge
to the Grand Jury, and every ear was
listening to catch each word, when the
stiffness of the court was broken by
an unearthely ker-chew, ker-chew, kerr
chew, ker-cheW, etc. The Judge was
thunderstruck. and instantly every
eye was turned toward the caa" IF the
room where a little unobstrusiva
looking old farmer sat sneezing as if
his head was coming off The Judge
ordered the Sheriff TO bring the intru-
der before the bench. The offender
came forward and the Judge had a
fine entered against the innocent cause
of the disturbance
1.-Two of the sneezer's friends were
called, who testified to the mans good
character and high standing, but said
they could hear him sneeze three miIe1
any day in the year One said the
sneezer once broke up a camp meeting
with sneezing spell and that he saw
an enraged bovine stop a thunderous
believing fit to look in wonder at the
human who could make mora noisa
than a mad bull. But the old fellow
couldn't help it, and the fine was re-
mitted. d."-LouisvilIe KY, Post.

The Yukon River.

THE River Trip to the Klondike" is
the title of an article in the Century
by John Sidney Webb. Mr. Webb says:
The mouth of the Yukon is about a
hundred miles broad-that is, from one
side to the other side; but there is
nothing to suggest a river about it
nothing but small streams, sloughs, ISL
ands, innumerable and disconcerting
1t is like being brought face to face
with hundred gates, only one of which
opens the way you are seeking, while
the others lead to destruction. This
is the difficulty of navigation at the
starting point and the sort of thing
encountered all the way to Circle City
1t is touch and go, or touch and not
go; and you may get through or may
stick on bar, and not bulge an inch
for many weary days or weeks. Eigh-
teen hundred and fifty miles of river
are before you on your way up to
Dawson; and it takes about fifteen

THAT TROPHY.
Sacramento Wheelnen Determined
to Win 1t If Possible.

The Race Meet Committee of the
Capital City Wheelmen, at meellhg
held last evening, resolved TO furnlsn
the riders of the club now training Tor
the try-out with a competent trainer
from and after the Sd of April. The
try-out is to take place Aprn loth'
when the seven riders and a few emef-
gency riders will be chosen, accorolng
to the time they make.
This try-out or choosing of riders Tor
the Stockton Sacramento hundred-nlle
relay race of April oath will take place
over a ten-mile road course on the
Folsom road. The committee is TO go
out in a body in few days and select
the course.
The committee put in a negative or
denial on the rumor that the team
for the race would be selected without
trying out, and ordered it bulletined
that the original order OF Chle1 smith
will not be varied.
There are twenty-seven men now pre-
pairing for the try-out. OF these the
speediest seven will be chosen to wear
the Sacramento colors and defend the
trophy against Stockton's contest for
it. Probably three others will be chosen
as reserve riders, and in addition each
rider will select a trailer to ride behind
him on his relay and supply him with
an extra wheel in case of break
down.
The coming race, if won by Sacra-
ment, gives the cup finally to this city,
as it will be the third winning. #,
however the Stockton clubs win, then
it will have to be raced for again. Hav
ing now the advantage by two, the
Capital City Club is putting forth it's
best efforts to make the final winning.
This gives the preparations for the
contest unusual interest, and in local
wheeling circles it is the chief topic
of conversation and speculation.

is and has lately been an unprecedented
demand for wings, heads, quills, ana
whole birds, large and small. This is
not surprising. The average woman
takes no interest at all in the fate OF
birds, and does take a very lively in
terest in stylish hats. When it comes
to trimming for a hat, what she wants
to know is whether it looks well,
whether it is the latest thing, and
whether she can afford it. Other con-
siderations are irrelevant. The at
tempt to quicken her sense of response
bility by pretending to make a guilty
hat subject to arrest ought to have
failed, and has failed If we cannot
have women and birds in the world
together, we must get on without the
birds, for the women are indispensable.
Perhaps when flying machines are per-
fected we shall miss the dear little
birds less than we suppose.-Harper' $

Turning to the question or recognize

we find safe presidents in our history
from an early day. They are well
summed up in President Jackson's mes
sage to congress Dec. q. 1886. on the
subject of the recognition of the inds-
pendence of Texas. He said: In all
the contests that have arisen out of the
revolution OF France, out of the dis
putes relating to the crews Of Portugal
and Spain, put Of the separation Of the
American possessions of both from the
European governments and out of the
numerous and constantly occurring
struggles for dominion in Spanish
American SO widely consistent with u
Just principles has been the action Of
our government that we have under
the most critical circumstances avoided
all censure and encountered no other
evil than that produced by a transient
estrangement of good will in those
against whom We have been by force
Of evidence compelled to decide. 1t has
thus made known to the world that the
uniform policy and practice OF the
United States is to avoid all Interior
ence in disputes which merely relate to
the internal government of other ma
lions, and eventually to recognize the
authority of the prevailing party with
out reference to our particular interests
and views or to the merits of the
original controversy.
