Ond Sight Seeing,

Racine Wisconsin, Journal
Prof Alexander Johnston startled the
people of Racine several days ago by al
lowing a committee TO secrete pin in
any part of the city they desired and
then bliudfolded, he drove hack over
the route taken by the committee and
found the pin. Prof Harry Rosco, who
has been in the city few days, went
Johnston one better Saturday afternoon.
He allowed a committee to take pin,
ride through the streets i'll a hack and
secrete the pin, select page and word
from large book and he then found the
pin, opened the book at the right page,
stuck the pin in the word and then told
what the word was. The committee
then drove up Main to Seventh, west to
College. avenue, on College avenue to
Eighth. on Eighth to Park avenue and
down Park avenue around on Fifth and
Wisconsin, TO the rear of the court
house. Entering the court house, they
secreted the pin in the register Of deeds
office. Rosco, blindfolded, drove over
the route and found the pin in short
order, and then he opened the book,
pinned the word and read it. The word
was "Henry," and the page 53S. 1t was
very clever piece of work, and those
who witnessed it agreed that it was
quicker work than that of Mr. Johnston.
The start and finish was made from
Hotel Racine.
On Saturday, Nov 9TH, at 3 100 p. M,
Rosco will perform this remarkable feat
on the streets of Alma, and it will be
entirely free for all. The start and
finish will be from the opera house.

Foul Play at Saginaw.

Poor MANAGEMENT and Dirty Work the Feat
ures Of Last Saturdays Game.
The regular football team of Alma
College went to Saginaw last Saturday
and met nominal defeat at the hands of
the local aggregation by score of one
touchdown to nothing. That the score
was so low is ample proof, however,
that Alma would have won the game if
they had received anything like fair
treatment.
The management of the game was so
poor as to deserve especial remark.
When Alma arrived on the ground there
was no gridiron marked out and it was
already time to begin. Besides this, no
ropes or other restraint were provided
to keep the crowd back, of which more
anon.
Wells kicked off and Ebert made a
star play by returning the ball to Alma 5
20 yard line. Here there was tumble
and Alma got the ball. Wells punted
and Brown got the ball on Saginaw 40
yard line The game swayed back and
| forth with either side owning the ball
till time was called with the ball III
Alma's territory. Throughout the entire
half the folly of providing no restraint
TO keep the crowd off the field was evil
dent. When Saginaw had the ball a
lane 30 TO 40 yard wide opened up, but
when Alma got 1t the two teams played
in 20 foot ring. Every adverse de-
cision from referee or hnesmen caused
a torrent of foul language from Saginaw
players and several times a free fight
was narrowly averted.
In the second half Brown of Alma
fumbled the kickoff and Saginaw got
the ball on Alma's % yard line. a series
of successful line bucks followed ano
the ball was within foot of Alma
goal. Here Alma took a brace ano
threw Saginaw back two Gowns, BrocA
being CONSPICUOUS fer his good work. Oh
the third down how ever, Ebert carried
the ball around the end Tor touch
down. Mclean failed to kick goal.
Alma then kicked off, got the ball anC

Everyone Turn out and Give announcement
The same team which defeated Alma
at Saginaw last week plays here tomor-

college men picked from the very best
material of Saginaw and play better foot

What Shall Be Done with CIausene

The case of Cockswuin Clatlson of tho

quire tho attention of Captain Chadwick
and Of Admiral Sampson us soon as the
young man gets out of the hands of tho
Spaniards by exchange of prisoners or
otherwise and returns to his duty.
The cockswain has committed an offcnse
which has some parallels in naval history,
but which never loses its interest, however
often repeated. 1t would have rcjoiccd
Marryat's heart to tell about Clausen' 8
sin. In leaving his own post without or
ders and slowing himself away upon tho
Merriinac, so that no might share the glory
of an expedition which seemed to mean
almost certain death to all concerned
Clausen not only violated discipline in an
objectionable way, but he was also guilty
of gross unfairness to tho 4 900 men or
thcrcabOlIts in the fleet who had yolun-
tered for the same perilous service, and
were just as crazy as he was TO go along
with Hobson.
This latter aspect of tho case is that
which will principally strike tho blue.

obey orders and stay behind. He is IL brave

Clauson in one all important particular.
Nevertheless, whatever martial law may

Information For q Judge Who Was In

When judge has once had to deal with
case involving patent rights, he is apt to
retain forever thereafter firm disinclina-
ton to hear any more of the sort. 1t hap
pened that several patont cases were on the
docket of New Jersey court, and tho
judge managed to defer each one as it
came up and slide it down the list When
the end Of the term was we'll withihrcach,
the patent practitioners began to demur u
little at this procrastination, and finally
the leader of their bar was doputcd to ask
tho Judge to set some of these cases for
hearing He carried with him list Of
the cases, with II side memorandum to in
dictate what class Of machinery was in
volved.
Tho judge looked down tho list, not at
NIL anxious to hear any patent case, but
recognized that he would have H. do so
in tho end, and therefore prepared to yield
as graciously as possible. He noted that
this case involved an ore separator, that
tho next had to do with some electric APP
paratus, that almost all of them promised
to involve him IN the deepest physics and
tho most complicated mechanics. At last
