FOOT BALL.

The Friends School foot ball team
went to Newark yesterday and played
the High School eleven of that place
At the end of the game the score stoot

The Delaware College eleven will play
a practice game with the Aetna club, o
Newark.
All lovers of foot ball should take ir
the game on Saturday between the War
rem and Eddystone. This is the deciding
contest and the game will be a hard
fought affair.
Even money already is being wagered
on the Harvard-Y foot ball game
which, in point of general interest
promises to overshadow all other foot
ball games this year.
Coach Woodruff again got in the game
Wednesday by way Of giving practical
illustration OF how the game should be
played.
Cornell will play a defensive game
against the Quakers Thanksgiving Day
at Franklin Field. The coaches are drill
ing the Ithacans with this plan in view.
1t now appears to be the plan Of the
Yale coaches to place Ely and Eddy in
the back field to handle Harvard's kick
ing game on Saturday, and judging from
the work they have done this week they
should do we'll.
Tickets for the Yale Harvard game
were placed on sale Wednesday at New
Haven, Conn, and were all sold inside
of fifteen minutes. They were sold in
twos and threes, and the spectators did
not get hold Of many, although they
offered the students So for 81 seats.
After the poor show wing of Tuesday, the
work of the Cornell Varsity at Itacha,
N. Y, Wednesday, was encouraging, as
the entire practice was snappy and
fierce.
The foot ball season OF Wesleyan Uni
versity was cut short Yesterday and the
team disbanded, owing to the failure Of
the team to secure games with other col.
leges. The men will 60 out Of training
immediately.
An offer to bet $4,000 on Yale at odds
of 8 to 10 found no takers yesterday in
New York, and even money is now the
ruling price. The biggest bet made yes
terday was $500 even, H. N. Haruch of
the Stock Exchange, taking the Harvard
end.
Yale's coaches gave the team twenty
minutes practice Wednesday with q
creased ball, to try and overcome the
fumbling. The players did not show
much improvement, however. Mcbride
was kicked on the leg and retired,
Chamberlin taking his Lace at fullback.
Harvard took her last hard practice
Wednesday, scoring seven touchdowns
on the scrub in thirty minutes. The team
left Cambridge, Mass, at 8 O'Clock yes
terday morning for Meriden, Conn.,,
where it will remain until Saturday
morning.
Burnett or Jaffray? That is the ques-
ton which puzzles the Harvard coaches
just now. Jaffray is far steadier than his
rival. while Burnett excels in kicking.
Prior to the Pennsylvania game Jaffray
was sure of the place, but Burnett's field
goal turned the scales in his favor. A
compromise by which each will play
half is the probable outcome.

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evir' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here. review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prio1
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac.
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none Of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula-and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ

SPEAKING OF FISH,
Here is Tale for Anglers to Match
II They Can.

Quite an odd find was happened
upon one day last week by Jack Lo-
peg, who is spending the summer at
Swarthmore. Pa, The house which
has been taken by the family Is
used In the winter as a b arding
school for girls. but was originally n
private house. While taking o look
over the place Lopez found In the
cellar an old we'll that was boarded
over and had trap door, with an
od-faS h,oned paddock. Thinking the
place m ght he utilized as a cold
that had evidently not boon touched
fer years Not before breaking the
lock was he able TO get 1t open, and
then he found the well too deep Ia
see the bottom With the aid Of a
rope and lantern he d severed that
there was something moving In the
water, and after keeping very quiet
for a moment saw what looked like
fish swimming near the surface. As
an experiment he decided to d. some
angling, and 81 n ha pisce OF
string with bent pin and worm
down the we'll In ten minutes he
had caught twenty-one fish, and then
decided to 30 out OF the dark cellar
and examine his catch They proved
to be fish "a the trout variety. but
the oldest part of II was that all
were eyeless and snow white. How
they came there and what kept them
alive Is n mysttr y that mono OF the
residents seem able to solve, but the
fish are plentiful and are good eating

ORIGIN or THE INDIAN.

Though similarity In religious rites
ton, and numerous traditions would
Gem to indicate relationship with
Asia ic peoples, still there arc fea~
lures in Indian physiognomy and
physiological structure. as well IA
mental or moral characteristics, that
essentially distinguish him from
every other race.
Tho fact that In Their physical
character, In Tor, form and features
the aborlgincs thr ughout the whole
continent present remarkable I'M
formity, it SO ms to be sufficient
evidence that t ey have never inter
mingled with other varieties of the
human family Some. indeed, think

NUMBER or LANGUAGES.

The least learned are aware that
there are many languages In the
world, but the actual number IL prob
ably beyond the dreams OF ord nary
people. The gengrapher Bald emu
merated $50, which are entitled TO be
considered as distinct languages, and
5000 which may be regarded as dla-
lects.
Adrlguns, another modern. writer
on this subject, reckons up 1904 Ian
guages and dialects existing. and
which have existed. Even after we
have allowed either Of these as the
number Of languages, we must ac-
knowledge the existence Of almost
infinite minor dlversities; for almost
every province has tongue more
or less peculiar, and this we may
believe TO be the case throughout
the world at large.

TORAL AND JuNOT.
Parable Between the Capitulation At
Santiago and That of the
French at Cintra.

The proposition Of General Toral TO
surrender Santiago upon the condition
that his troops should be transported
by this government, with all their
arms and munitions of war, to Spain
Ia repetition OF the proposition made
In 1908 by General Junot, commanding
a French army Of some $4,000 men,
similarly surrounded by tho English
In Portugal which was accepted.
After the battle of Vimiero tho
French were In Il situation similar to
that of the Spanish after our success
full assaults upon the heights adjacent
to Santiago, and capituton was tho
only means OF preventing what would
otherwise be sensoless loss of life.
The English and French appointed
commissioners, ns we did In Cuba, to
consider tho proposition and arranging
tho details II accepted. and tho final
settlement Is known In history an the
convention OF CIntra. although that
town was really not connected with
the matter, II was provided by the
articles adopted that the whole French
army, about the same number as the
Santiago district forces, should be
transported by the English to tho
coast OF France, with artillery and
munitions. horses, muskets and even
baggage. and this was accomplished,
although not without much friction
and some scandal,
This remarkable incident Ia familiar
to Spaniards, and particularly to mill
tary officers, and no doubt suggested
the action OF General Toral In making
similar demands, but the tirmness OF
the president prevented acquIescGhco
In respect to the arms and munitions
OF war, most vital difference.
When the news OF the convention
OF Cintra In August, 1908. and the
terms of the agreement entered into
reached England there was u terrific
public uproar OF dsapproyal and the
government was compelled TO order
court-martIal OF the alleged often
ders The duke OF Wellington was
inclined to throw the blame on others,
and all concerned In the settlement
were for time immensely unpopular.
The report Of the court-martlal. that
no further proceedings should be had,
was unsatisfactory. and each member
was forced into giving his individual
finding. which showed four approving
and three disappearing OF the arti-
Giles.
There was also much scandal and
difficulty In carrying out the terms.
Tho Portuguese insisted that tho
French army were taking away public
documents and articles OF great value
under guise Of baggage and even
public moneys from the banks, and
mobs attacked the prisoners when
about departing, and, although loyalty
defended by the English many were
killed. There were also attempts ut
insurrectlon on tho transports. but
the army was finally landed. to be
