PRINCETON's POOR SHOW.
Football Team Needs Bracing Up if
Victory is Expected.

Princeton, N. J., Oct, 15.-The work
of the Princeton football team during
the past week has been discouraging
in the extreme. It is certain that a
wonderful Improvement over the form
displayed in the Lafayette game must
be made within the coming week if the
Tigers expect to win over Cornell.
Princeton has a wonder worker in
Coach Kelly, however, and the outlook
is made less disheartening because OF
his presence in the varsity team. There
may be some unexpected changes in the
personnel of the team next week. It IS
reported that Bert Wheeler, who play
ed last year as varsity full back, will
don football toys and try for his old
position. His most formidable opponent
would be Ayers. but for some time the
expediency of using Ayers as a half
back has been discussed and In that
position he would be of most service
to the orange and black. Another new
position to which new interest will at
tach is that of center rush. Booth has
held this place thus far this season but
a new star has doomed up during the
past week in the person of Crowds, last
years left guard. He has played cen
ter on the scrub for the past two weeks
and to him may be assigned the poor
showing made by the varsity against
the scrub.

Nany girls of sixteen years seem to
have consumption, although they have 1t
not.
Their anxious parents and friends watch
them slowly fade away.
A death-ike pa1lor, transparent COM
p1exion and hstlessness are signs of this
condition.
The body lacks blood.
Mrs. John Tansey knows the meaning
of these ymptons, and the cure.
She lives at $50 Baker Street, Detroit,
Mich.
Her advice to mothers has been of great
va1ue to her neighbors. She tells the story
to help others who are at distance.
She said:
"When my daughter was sixteen years
old she began to waste away.
F'E1ad not known there was no faint Of
consumption IN the family would have
Believed her Iungs were affected.
She grew thinner and thinner every day.
She lacked only the hacking cough to show
ali the outward signs Of consumption.
"Our doctor called the disease by an odd
name, which learned meant simply weak

mo treatment seemed to DO her any good.
''She was fading away before our eyes.
II was induced to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and the change they
made was almost magical.

was great improvement In her looks, ap-

HAS ABOLISHED HAZING.
Dartmouth Faculty Issues an Edict-
Sonhonores- AWair Their Fate.

Hanover, N. H, Ooct. 15.-Future
freshmen classes of Dartmouth college
need have no dread of the sophomores.
BY a unanimous vote of the student
body today the custom of hazing was
abolished.
During the present term hazing has
been INDUCED in to an exceptional ex-
tent. So far. in fact, did the ''sophs'
venture upon freshmen rights that the
faculty took note of their actions and
began a rigid investigation.
The entire sohomore class appeared
before the administration committee to
answer to the charge of hazing. It was
found that freshmen had run races,
sung nocturnal ballads, invaded Chi
nese laundries and paraded the ceme-
terry by night. When testimony had
been taken and confessions We're made
it was evident that the majority of the
sophomore class was more or less i'm
ted.
resident Tucker firmly declared that
this should be the last year of hazing in
Dartmouth. Fifteen "sophs'' are now
anxiously waiting to Learn of their fate.

A WHARF FOR SKATER.
Lieut.. Hill Says Was Under Consider
alton at Baiquiri.

Washington. Oct. 15.-Lieutenant K.
K. Hill an officer of the warship Iowa.
when the army landed near Santiago
and in charge of the debarkation of the
troops at BaiQuiri, appeared before the
war investigation commission yester-
day. He said the army brought only
one lighter. TIE army was entirely un-
prepared to land. AS he viewed the mat
ter the army would have been unable to
land and unable to subsist after the
landing without the aid of the navy
A great deal Of trouble was experienced
with the captains of the transports, who
had refused to go nearer the shore IN
til he secured an order to them from
Gen. Shafter. Lieut.. Hill said that there
was no wharf, but that he understood
that they were talking of one on which
to land Gen. Shafter.
Personally" asked a member of the
commission.
Yes"
HAD they no derricks?"
Yes, but they were not strong
enough"
This personal a1lusion to the avoirdu-
pois of the commander of the Santiago
campaign created a general laugh
Continuing Lieutenant Hill expressed
the opinion that in case of transporta-
ton of troops at sea he thought the
vessels should be under the command of
navy officers until the troops are land

Wyandotte, Peters home county, is
not included in this list, as it has been
a Chinese puzzle in Second district sit
uatiOns for years.
THE estimate is made" said Mr.. Lat
inner, ION a basis of a full Populist vote.
There are 921 school districts in the
Second district, and If one Populist or
Democrat in each school district re-
mains at home on election day, Bower
sock will be elected. If Peters and the
congressional and county committees can
organize and get out the zote believe
Peters will be reelected by from 800 to
900 majority, because Bowersock has
many enemies at his home ard he will
run 300 to 500 votes behind Stanley in
Douglas county,
In the past two years about l. 200 votes
have been added to Allen county by the
establishment of the sme1ters at lola
This is an uncertain vote which has
never been in the district before, but as
they come from the Populist strong
holds of Crawford and Cherokee coun-
ties, Mr.. Latimer figures that a good
share of them are Populists.
Two years ago Peters received a ma
jority of 1888, but at the same time Nor
rill carried the district by 49,

JONES SURE OF CONGRESS-.
Next House Will Be Democratic by a
Safe Majority. He Thinks.


Richmond. Va, Oct. 15.-Congressman
w. A. Jones of Virginia, to whom was
assigned the work of preparing the
Democratic campaign book, is also act
ing chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional committee, Chairman Stephen
D. White of California having been alb
sent from Washington since congress
adjourned.
The work has nearly entirely devolved
on Mr.. Jones, whose home is near the
national capital. He is therefore thor
oughly posted on the situation. In an
interview today he expressed great con-
fdence in the prospect of his party con-
trolling the next house. He believed
that if the elections were to take place
now the Democrats would carry a ma
jority of the districts in the country,
and he seems confident that, with all
the efforts the Republicans may put
forth between now and the day of cleo
ton, they will not be able to obtain
control of that BODY

About year and a half ago, I stop
ped drinking coffee and took Postum
Food Coffee, and after a few failures
because of improper cooking, finally
had it made strictly according to direc-
tions, (Which is easy) and found it of
such charming flavor that I have kept
up it's use ever since.
Strange as it may appear, the rlleu-
matism disappeared entirely, and I have
not had single attack since. More
over my family have all taken on some
good substantial flesh, so that we feel
Postum is not only a delicious drink
in the taste, but that we are living evil
dences of its healthful properties.
The preparation of any sort of food
or drink is an important, essential part.
I fi1d that many people who have
tried Postum, go at the preparation in
a careless way, that is to say, they put
it on the stove and let it stand a few
minutes, and think it should be done.
We put Postum on in cold water. 1t
takes about Is minutes before it begins
to boil, then we allow it to actually boil
is minutes, which as you say, brings
out the delicious flavor and good food
value.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller Of this city, are
using Postum right along. Mrs Miller
has been great sufferer from dys-
pepsia, had to give up coffee entirely
health now, since using Postum Food
Coffee.

were troubled in the same way, and
have been cured by Postum. Say they
never were SO well.

HELOOKED LIKE STRAUSS.
Panic Caused in an Eating and Drink
ing Resort by a Stranger.

During the last day of the Odd Fell
lows Grand Lodge a special commit
tee, which had been in protracted ses-
sion, did not conclude its labors until
long after the dinner hour. AS it was
impossible to get anything to eat then
at any of the hotels one of the members
to a certain place in an upstair room on
Kansas avenue, where, by giving the
right sort of a rap, they would be ad-
mitted to a resort where they could get
not only something to eat, but certain
liquid refreshments as well.
In the party was large fine looking
man who bears a remarkable resemb-
lance to Marshal Strauss. He is a
prominent Democratic politician of the
Fifth district, and he is the last man to
make trouble on an expedition of the
the suggestion acted as guide for the
party and the Democrat brought up the
rear.
When the guide reached the door with
a little wicket in, he raped. A boy
opened the wicket, and seeing only the
guide, whom he recognized as having
been there before, he supposed the par
ty was all right. But the instant he
caught sight of the Democrat in the
rear there was a change. 1t was too
late to shut the door, so he made a
dash for the bar, knocking over chairs
and other furniture on his way. He
made violent gesticulations toward
three or four men in the rear of the
room, and the entire outfit made a dash

visitors in undisputed control of the
place.
The Odd Fellows were rather mysti-

one of the tables to wait for someone to
come and take their orders
AT length one of the barkeepers
emerged slowly from his hiding pIace
and began to slip along the wall toward

eye on the tan Democrat. His hair was
