Charleston Herald asks About The
Championship We say that we Own it.
The foot ball championship of the
south belongs no longer to Virginia.
AT Richmond on Thanksgiving day
the orange and blue went down before
the white and blue Of North Carolina,
and the proudest athletic boast of the
University Of Virginia was thing Of
the past. 1t is dismal coincidence
for the Virginians-tha the games
which cost them the most pangs to
lose-the games with West Virginia
and Carolina-should have been lost
by the same score, 6 to O; and it is
further curious that they should have
lost another big game, that with the
Annapolis cadets, by the same score.
To whom, does the championship OF
the south belong? Only a game be-
tween the University of West Virginia
and the University of North Carolina
can decide, both teams having defeat
ed the erstwhile champions, and de-
feated them by the same score. Steps
should now be taken to bring these
two teams together. Such a game
would not only attract wide interest
but would assist materially in giving
prestige, athletic as well as otherwise,
to the leading educational institution
of this State.

for the young, and to make ii as easy
as possible to do right.

sons expect too much. A little girl
who had started out TO be christian

again. on falling into sin exclaimed
impatiently, g asked the Lord to
make me good girl, and why don't
he do it?" Another child was wiser
who prayed, "Lord, make me good,
and if as first you don't succeed, try,
try again"

working to enforce it.
Prohibition does not annihilate,
whether it be prohibition of drink,
lust theft or murder; but in all cases
it is better to forbid the evil, to out
law 1T, than to sanction it.

THE WINE AND BEER CURE.

There is Ia some papers an unLiring

oft-refuted statement that the ten

beer is to reduce drunkenness In the

furnish no support to this fallacious

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
DR.. Lyman Abbott Permitted to With
draw from Plymouth Church.

NEW YORK, Dec Is. - At a business
meeting of the members of the Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, to-day, the report of the
advisory committee, recommending accept
ance of the resignation of Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott as pastor, was adopted, with a few
dissenting votes. During the past week eff
forts were made by both the old and young
elements of the congregation of Plymouth
Church to have Dr. Abbott withdraw his
resignation, but to no avail A deputation
of members of Plymouth Church called on
DR.. Abbotts physician and were informed
that they should not insist on his holding
the pastorate, as further strain of preach
ing might have serious and lasting effects.
Dr.. Abbott will continue to fill the pulpit
at Plymouth Church until May l. He will,
after that date, give his time exclusively to
his editorial work.

A NEW KLONDIKE.
Rat Portage wild with Excitement
over a Rich Strike of Gold.

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 1s.-Rat Portage,
Ont, is wild with excitement over mar
velous strike made in the Mikado gold mine
The ore fills slope forty feet high and
two and one-third feet wide, and the richest
ore is worth on a conservative estimate from
$25OOO to $S5,0oO a ton in free milling gold
The ore Is being put in barrels and sacks,
and men are guarding the treasure. The
mine is owned in England. At low esti-
mate there is now a quarter of a million dol
lars in sight. The latest advices to-day
from miners coming in say the vein is now
eleven feet wide, with no decrease in value
The length and depth of the ore body is not
yet determined.

comes a report that the alcade has been
attacked and stabbed with a machete and
there has been another stabbing affray at
Daiquiri Although these affairs are prob
ably mining camp rows, the authorities now
feel compelled to police those places, which
heretofore has been unnecessary, owing to
the fact that majority of the workmen
were Spanish solGiers and under military
discipline.
The arrival of the news that CiIe United
States Senate had confirmed the nomination
of General Wood as a major general was
the occasion for universal rejoicing here.
General Wood was at FL MORO examining
the improvements and got his first intima-
ton when the Punta Gorda battery fired a
major generals salute. The bells in the
cathedral and churches were rung, the civic
band played for several hours and in the
crowded cafes and clubs there were toasts
and cheers in honor of the military gov
ernor. A round of receptions has been ar
ranged and a public banquet planned.

DELPHI, Ind, Dec. 1S.-The escape OF
James Ward, awaiting trial for bank rob-
berry, and Charles Hunt, incarcerated on
charge of larceny, from the jail here late
Friday night was a well planned affair.
Ward is alleged to be a member of an or
ganized gang that operated throughout
northern Indiana early in the fall, and. with
another member named George Martin, was
captured a couple of weeks after the raid
on the bank at Flora this county, in
October last. Rumors have been rife that
an attempt would be made to release Hunts
who is said to be an important member or
the gang, and Sheriff Bridge has taken un-
usual precautions in guarding his prisons
ers. Friday morning man who gave the
name of Quigley, and his home as Scranton,
Pa, presented himself at the Jail in an in
toxicated condition and asked to be locked
up. The sheriff denied his request. Quigley
returned shortly afterward in custody of the
marshal, who searched him and turned him
into the corridor OF the Jail. He is thought
20 be a member of the gang and to have
carried tools, but q search failed to reveal
them When the turnkey made his custo-
mary round of inspection he discovered the
absence of Hunt and Ward. An investiga-
zion disclosed that the men had broken
through the masonry OF a cell, made their
way to the roof through an air shaft and
thence to the ground, The members on the
outside who planned the job and furnished
the tools had paved the way for the escape
OF the men by visiting the electric light
plant early in the day and tampering with
the machinery that operated the city's arc
lights. Consequently the lights could not be
turned on and the town was in darkness.
They had also visited the kennels Of the
bloodhounds used for tracking escaped crim-
inals and poisoned the dogs. Sheriff Bridge
organized a posse, but deferred from
immediate pursuit by the loss of the blood
hounds. He secured two from a neighbor-
ing city yesterday and went In pursuit OF
the criminals. Martin, the other alleged
bank robber, who Is a cripple. could not
succeed in climbing through the shaft and
did not effect his escape.

AN ACTIVE INDUSTRY.
Orders for Sc Locomotives Received
by the Baldwin Works.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1S-The Baldwin
locomotive works has, within the last few
days, received orders for fifty-six locomo-
tives, of which sixteen are for the Imperial
Railway OF China, making the second order
received from that country within ten
months. A contract with the Reading Rail-
way Company calls for twenty-five freight
engines and five switching engines of the
heaviest type ever operated on the system.
They are to be specially adapted for use In
the subway. The Chicago & Northwestern
has also ordered ten large freight engines,
while numerous small orders have been re-
ceived from railroads all over the country
In addition to working day and night, it
has recently been found necessary to in
crease the force of men at the works.

The Cincinnati Stuck on ~ Rock in
the HarbOr of Santiago.

the HarbOr of Santiago.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 1S.-While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset yesterday she ran
full speed upon a rock clearly defined in
the charts, but not buoyed. Last September
General Leonard Wood, considering that
the absence of a buoy there might lead to
some accident, anchored a small one, the
first ever placed there, but the Bessie on
entering the harbor one night carried it
away and since then there has been no buoy
to mark the location of the rock. The Gin
cinnau is probably not seriously damaged,
as she is not making water. For the last
twenty hours the government collier South
cry and the Mayhower have been engaged
in an effort to pull her off. Thus far they
have been unsuccessful, but it is hoped they
will have better luck tonight at high tide.
The principal risk now is of tearing a hole
in the cruisers bottom while pulling her off.
Captain c. M. Chester, the cruisers COM
mander, insists that the landmarks are in
the wrong places and have not been altered
in any way since the American occupation.
Pilots are not compulsory upon the en-
trance of war ships. bur the Santiago
harbor is difficult and a war ship should
invariably take one. Hereafter a large buoy
will mark the rock on which the Cincin-
natl struck.
1t now turns out that the man who was
shot here Friday morning by a Cuban negro,
after landing from a schooner hailing from
Baracoa, was not, as was at first supposed,
Celeste Rodriguez, the guerilla, but mer-
chant from Baracoa, who had come here
to purchase supplies The assumption is that
the crime was committed for the sake OF
robbery.
