| The game was warm one to look at.
Bevan is the find of the season, he
kicks like veteran.
Groves with sore ankle was very
prominent as an underneath man.
If Kyle helped Hates out as he should,
there would be less gains around the
right end.
Hates did some neat tackling on the
ends.
Whltner bucked the line for fifteen
yards on several occasions, going
through the entire High School center.
Losh did the bulk OF DreXel's work.
He is an excellent tackle.
The left side of the High School line
il still weak. 1t shows little improve
ment at that.
Macklem played tackle. That's his
place, for at half back he is failure.
McSorley at half did fairly well, bar
ring his fumbling. He will do after
little coaching.
The whole High School team shows
lack of good coac hing. It's a pity some
of the stars the school has turned out,

of the team and come out and show the

The High School ends should get down

Kyle shows very poor judgment in di-
recting the teams play.
Simpson is fine end This lads work
has saved several big games.
Corson at quarter for the visitors is
the right man in the right place. He
used good judgment.
The High School draws large crowds

A DISPUTED GAME.
Whether the High School Eleven Was
Defeated or Not Will be Left to
George Woodruff.

Whether the High School Eleven Was
Defeated or Not Will be Left to
George Woodruff.
Yesterday was an ideal one for foot
ball and great battle took place be-
tween the warriors which represent the
Drexel Institute of Philadelphia, and
those of the Wilmington High School.
The score, owing 70 a dispute, cannot
be given, and as George Woodruff, coach
OF the University Of Pennsylvania, is to
decide the point in dispute, it will be
several days before the score will he
known. Mr.. Woodruff has two ways to
decide either that the Drexel boys won
uy the score of 6 to 0 or that the game
was tie at 0 too.
The dispute happened this way. Drexel
had the ball on the locals three-yard
line. The ball was given to Tosh just as
the referee called time, and he went over
for touchdown, and afterwards kicked
the goal. The referee and the High
School boys claimed the ball was dead
when time was called and therefore the
score didn't count.
They claimed that time couldn't be
called when the ball is in play, and that
the touchdown should count. Of course
the referees decision is final but as the
visitors would rot play if the decision
stood, manager Whitehead concluded
that the fair thing to do was to leave the
decision to an out side party and con-
sequentIy Mr. Woodruff was decided
upon.
The game was as pretty contest as
anyone would want to see, abounding IN
fine line bucking, end running and
clever tackling. Every inch OF ground
was hard fought.
The most conspicuous lad in the
ground gaining line was Whitner, and
tits little halfback never failed to gain
and several times he made runs around
left end for twenty and thirty yards.
Bishop Tosh, Corson and Bailey also did
good work.
For the locals Kates' tackling was of
the highest order. Simpson also figured
in several fine plays. The surprise of
the day was Began. This lad plays tackle
on the team, but as they have no one
who can kick, he was sent back to DO
this work when punt was necessary.
The way he did it was remarkable, for
fellow who never before played that
position. His punts were very well
directed and were also hard and low.
This lads work was the only thing that
prevented his side from being beaten by
a large score. The Wilmington boys
line men played a much better game
than any before. The team is now round
ing into form and by the time their next
game comes off everything will be o. X.

an average education that does the
mischief. Rarely being a student of
government, he has unbounded faith in
the ability of the government to do any
thing by merely enaeting a law He
regards the law as an active agent, the
same as man is. forgetting, or
rather, never learning. that laws are
nothing but rules for the regulation of
men in their intercourse and dealings
with each other; that a law is nothing
but rule of conduct.
Another prolific source of bad laws
is that the majority of legislators are
ignorant of the laws already in force,
and the consequence is that others are
enacted that either conflict with or so
modify them that there is forthwith
confusion.
Another evil is that laws are not al
lowed to prove their value or their
worthlessness before they are tinkered.
This also comes from the belief that the
law-making power is competent to do
any and everything, to eradicate evil
and create good, or vice versa, at will.
The gist of the whole question is that
the country suffers from too much leg
islation. Will it ever learn to appreci-
ate this fact?

GENERAL MILES UNIFORM.

General Miles has the unfortunate
faculty, for a soldier. of getting him
self talked about more than is good
for the army; he is the head of the
army and in large measure the repre-
sentative by which it is judged. Very
recently he has adopted for himself a
new uniform, so grand and gorgeous
that a bird of paradise and peacock
seem birds of dull plumage beside him.
The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking of
the generals new uniform, says that
"as major general commanding the
army" General Miles holds unique
rank, and is at liberty to make such
additions to his own uniform as may
suit his fancy and add to his gorgeous
ness when on parade and attending Of
fetal functions furnishing opportunity
for the display of his military clothes
The general has adopted several new
devices which are expected to outshine
all the decorations of the diplomatic
corps. The full dress coat has gold
embroidery on the sleeves and collar
The design is a delicate tracery of oak
leaves in gold. The familiar epaulets
have been Abandoned in favor of the
fiat Russian shoulder knot, without
fringe, bearing the coat of arms of the
United States and the two stars in
dicatfve of the rank of major
To this is added a belt of Russia
leather piped with gold bullion and
embroidered in oak leaves to match
the design on the collar and cuffs of
the coat. The new features of the uni
form are completed by a sash of altern-
ate stripes of yellow and gold, which
extends from the right shoulder to the
left side"
From this description General Miles,
in full dress uniform, must look like
an animated single gold standard. And
this uniform, the like of which was
never seen before, is the net result OF
the generals trip to Europe to study
the Graeco-Turkish war and the general
formation of European armies.
Is that delicate tracery of oak leaves
in gold symbolic of the charter oak
or The Old Oaken Bucket?" How
plebeian the uniforms of such men as
Washington, Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan when compared with General
Miles uniform; in fact, Solomon in, all
his glory, and Solomon had a great
deal of glory, was not arrayed like

it, but it viii wonder at it. And as
they read about it they may recall the
advice Of Polonius to Laertes:

gaudy;

COLD WATER FOR THE KEN.
lucky.

The battleship Kentucky is shortly to
be launched, and it is to be christened
by Miss Christine Bradley. daughter
of Governor Bradley of Kentucky. The
young lady. who achieved considerable
notoriety because she was selected to
perform this Office over Secretary Her
berts appointee, proposes to introduce
novel feature into the ceremony.
When she christens the battleship that
is to bear the name OF her own state
she says she will break bottle of
pure spring water over the bow. This
water is to come from spring on
the farm where Abraham Lincoln was
born. The young lady says she is sure
this will bring the ship good luck If
she uses spring water instead of cham
payne it will be new departure, and
in harmony with the views of the W.
C. t. T., which objected, some years
ago, to the use of champagne in chris
tening ships. declaring for cold water
That this new departure should be ia
ken, if taken, by young lady of Ken
lucky will serve to accentuate it, But
if innovations are to be introduced
why not adopt the Japanese custom of
liberating a couple of pure white doves?
1t is beautiful and poetic idea, and to
believers in the Bible, as Americans are
it would be very easy to associate the
Noaehian idea of Hberating the doves
with the ceremony.
The ceremony is termed "christen-
ing" the ship. but Bishop Nicholson
makes the objection that a christening
is a ceremony of baptism and of a re-
ligious nature; but it is not likely that
his objection will lead TO any change
in the designation of the ceremony; it
is simply naming the ship and nothing

NOT READY FOR WAR.

It is said that the United States are
not prepared for war, and it is even SO
intimated from high authority. This
is no doubt true. But whenever were
the United States prepared for war?
Not in 1872; not in 1876; not in 1861; in
fact. when. in 1875. the colonies began
fighting for independence, they were
not prepared for war.
1t is not desirable that this govern
ment be prepared for war. AT first
blush that will seem a strange, unpat-
will show it to be true. To be pre-
pared for war means that the country
would have to be transformed into a
military camp, such as Europe is today.
The American people will hardly desire
to do that, for that would have to be
done if we are to be prepared for war.
The nations of Europe make it first
leading nations of Europe are France,
Germany and Russia. all prepared for
war.
The peace footing OF Frances army is
1885, 800 men; war footing, active army
and reserve. 1850 600; territorial army
900, 900; territorial reserve, LOO, 900; to-
tai. 1850, 900, of whom 100000 would be
available.
Germany's army, peace strength, is
1922 besides officers, surgeons and
paymasters. No official returns of the
war strength of the German army are
published. but it is estimated that on
its present organization it would have
a war strength of 100000
Russia's army, peace footing, is $685.
672; war footing, 1882, 1886
Does this country desire TO be pre-
pared for war at that price? But that
is not all. To be prepared for war
means that every able bodied man in
the country between the ages of eigh-
teen years and forty-five years, shall
be liable to CONSUMPTION. 1t is said that
the only sure things in the world are
death and taxes; to this should be
added another where CONSUMPTION OBJ
tains-drawn for the army.
But why does this country need to be
prepared for war? No one is seeking
war with it and it is seeking no war
with any country. In the past it has
been Americas proud boast that her
mission was one of peace and civiliza-
ton. Isn't such mission grand
enough for the future? 1t is the
grandest on earth. To be prepared for
war, in the modern sense, means the
abandonment of all the nations best
traditions.
The government should be prepared
to arm the naticn at the shortest pos
sible notice, both by having arms and
munitions of war on hand and being
prepared to manufacture them, and the
states should have national guard or
CARNATIONS that would serve as nu-
clei for armies in case of need; but
there should be nothing more than
this.

SOME PENSION LETTERS.

Some queer letters reach the pension
office. so queer that they are gems.
Here are few that have been received
by Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Davis:

But here is one from an old fellow
who had no faith in doctors and cured
himself:
"Berbersville, September H. 1886
Sir: At Bermuda hundred I had great
deal of trouble with my bowels. The
doctor gave me quinine-no good. One
day a member of our band-the base

was again attacked with Dyspepsia
and bowels. 1 went and got a bottle of
French red wine and a pound of cheese,
which cured me at once. The doctor,
did me no good. While in Tennessee p
got a sunstroke, and I now have coz
air resting on my lungs and angelina
pictorials. which the doctor says is a
result of sunstroke. J. H. s."
Some of these letters show quite as
good cause for granting a pension as
pensions in some cases have been
granted for; any one who will look
over some of ex-President Cleveland's
veto messages of private pension bills
will readily see that this is so. We re-
lated to the case of a man who had
been drafted in New York and was sta
toned on Staten island, and never went
any further. He visited New York and
contracted a loathsome disease, from
the effects of which he never recover
ed; and this was the ground of his
claim for a pension, for which a bill
passed congress. Another bill he We
toed was the case of a man who, like
the man from Berbersville, had a
great deal of trouble with his bowels"
got up in the night to get a drink of
whisky and by mistake took something
else that had very bad effect on him,
from which he never recovered, so he
claimed.
In the matter of the grounds on which
pensions are sometimes granted, facts
are much stranger than fiction.

THE EVIL OF TOO MANY LAWS.

IF all of the laws upon the books in
Wisconsin were enforced to the letter. -
says the Milwaukee Sentinel, 1T is safe
to say that the majority of all the peo-
pie in the state would have immediate
business before the courts. and that Jail
accommodations would be ridiculously
inadequate. Yet the demand for new
laws is increasing. People no longer
are content to suggest additional enact
ments as remedies for petty or imagin-
airy evils. Patriotic statesmen are en-
gagged in devising forms of law for the
promotion of all sorts of interests and
for the protection of society against
the laws which have been enacted al
ready"
These remarks would apply to any
other state in the Union quite as much
as to Wisconsin,; they also apply to
congress. This terrific increase in the
amount of legislation turned out all
over the country. the product of forty
five state mills and one national one,
most of them grinding annually, is
more due to ignorance than to any
thing else; not to illiteracy, but to ig-
norance If legislators were generally
illiterate, it is not certain that they
would not turn out less bad legislation
than they do. for they would be very
much inclined to say. Let well enough

sion nas been rendered upon this be-
lief in the state of New York.
Some years since a large bequest
was made to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals OF the
state OF New York Relatives C the
testator attempted to invalidate the
VIII upon the ground Of unsoundness of
mind. As evidence of this incapacity
it was alleged that the maker of the
will believed in the immortality of
animals through reincarnation.
'-The court pronounced the Will valid.
It was judicially stated that the proof
OF unsoundness of mind offered was
totally inadequate, as the testator had
held such belief in life, when no
charges of infirm reason were ever
made. Further. the decision stated
that the fortune was made in trade
with India, where such beliefs were
commonly held. and, finally that such
beliefs had always been entertained by
large numbers of people, and We're
now held by the majority of the human
race
The court should have cited Dr.

tality Of the souls of dogs, as an
authority.
