An exciting game of foot ball was wit
messed by a large and enthusiastic crowd
on the Hyattsville ball field yesterday
morning between the keystones of Wash
ington and the team representing Hyatts-
vile, which resulted in victory for the
latter by score of 10 to 0.
The teams were evenly matched. neither
side scoring in the first half of % minutes.
The Keystones kicked off, and by agrees
sive playing the ball was worked to the
center of the field, where it was lost al
ternately on downs by both teams, the
first half ending with the ball in the posi-
ton.
In the second half Van Loan, by good
interference, scored the first touchdown for
the Hyattsville, and later failed for goal
With but two minutes of playing time Van
Loan, by good running, scored the second
touchdown of the game from the twenty
yard line, Richardson failing for goal.
The best playing was done by Van Loan
Morley, Hayes. Schoepf and Richardson
for Hyattsville, while for Keystone Gala

HEARST SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
Building to Be Located on Grounds of
Episcopal Foundation.

Bids have been invited from contractors
for the erection of the building for the
Hearst School for Girls, which is to be To-
Gated on the grounds of the Protestant
Episcopal Foundation, at the southeast cor
ner of the Tenleytown and Woodley roads.
The contra ctors are given until the 3lst
of next month to prepare the plans and the
specifications, and to file their bids with the
building committee. of which Col A. I.
Britton is chairman.
The contractors are asked 10 base their
estimates on the completion of the building
by the middle of next March Eight con-
tractors have been invited to make bids,
four being residents of this city and four
from other places.
A cut of the proposed building has al
ready appeared in The Star. The design
is handsome one, and, as it. will be the
first of the group of buildings which it
is intended to erect on this commanding
site, it will attract considerable attention.
The funds to be used are the gift of Mrs.
Hearst, and the entire amount, 100000, has
been in the hands of the building committee
for some time. Now that the preiiminaries
have been settled it is expected the work of
building will go forward without delay.

PROPOSED RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Application to Montgomery County
mmissiOners for a Permit.

Some arrangements are in prospect for
the proposed extension of the Georgetown
and Tenleytown railroad to Rockville Md,
although beyond the intention, as stated
in The Star, of those who now control the
road to make such extension in the
near future nothing mas yet been done
except to make an application to the COM
missioners of Montgomery county for per-
mission to extend the line along the road
known as the old Georgetown pike TO Mont
rose. and thence along the present pike to
Rockville. This latter route lies nearest to
the fringe of settlements along the Metro
politan branch of the b. and o. road
There was a proposition that the extern
sion should be along the present pike the
entire way, which would have taken III
farther to the west than the route above
outlined. Another plan was TO have a line
that would cut across the country from the
settlement of Bethesda to the pike, and
thence by the latter road to Rockville. 1t
appears. however. that the decision has
been reached to follow the old road TO
Montrose, and thence for the balance of the
way by the pike. The former route IL
thought TO have heavier grades than the
one selected. 1t is thought that within a
year from this time there will be an cleo
trio road 5etween this city and Rockville.

Another time I wrote a story and sent
it to a magazine. The editor held it up for

The returns of the census for France
which was taken in March, 1897; have now
been published and compared with the sta
tistics of the previous census, which was
taken six years before A year ago the
number of people in France was 3S. DDS, 969
and at the 1891 census it was IS, 095, $50, so
that in the six years the population of
France had only increased by 133, Sl9 per-
sons. And even this trif1ing increase is
more apparent than real, for it has taken
place entirely in the large towns, and is
due to the influx of foreigners, such as
Belgians and Italians.

A Royal Priest.

Prince Max. Of Saxony, recently ap-
pointed bishop of Kuhn, Ia said to be
the only person OF royal birth now In
holy orders. A few years ago the
prince suddenly resigned his commits
sion as q cavalry oflcer In the Ger
man army and betook himself to the
cloister or seminary at Elchstatt, ask
ing there for admission In order that
he might study for the priesthood. His
uncle, the king Of Saxony, in vain urg-
ed him to give up his purpose. In the
seminary he endured without COM
plant all the restrictions imposed by
the rules. declining to be favored by
any relaxation OF discipline, even when
his health vas affected by the strain
OF unaccustomed privations. After leav-
ing Eichstatt the prince went to Lon
don as a missionary priest, laboring
there In that part of the Whitechapel
district where poverty most abounds.
Having been raised to the office OF
bishop he will soon, 1t is said, be ele-
waited to the college Of cardinals. The
last imperial prince holding the Office
OF cardinal was Archduke Leopold o!
