CENTRAL DEFEATED BUSINESS.
Game Between High School EIevens
Mt National Park.

The Central and Business High School
foot ball elevens faced each other at Ma
tional Park yesterday afternoon, and after
brilliantly played game, the former came
out on top by the score of 16 to o. The
Business boys have been putting up
strong game of late, and it was expected
that a victory for them an assured
fact. The Centra1s had not appeared in
regular contest and in practice their work
was of the ragged order. From these indi-
cations it proved almost conclusively that
the Centrals would be doing good work to
keep the score down to single figures. From
the very beginning the Centrais surprised
their opponents by their clean-cut work
both in speeding around the ends, and in
may have handicapped the Business lads
at the start, but after five minutes play
they were doing their BEST and their best
was. not equal to that of the Centrals
The Centrals We're speedy and confident

for the first touchdown. Their second
touchdown also came in the first half

rushes down the field that could not be

MIR. CLEVELAND HAD TROUBLE.
Ordered Out of a Polling Booth by
the Marshall

The New York Herald of today saws.
Grover Cleveland, former President of the
United States, had trouble yesterday voting
in Princeton. He made his first mistake
when he started out to cast his ballot His
coachman was directed to drive to the poll
ing place in Odd Fellows Hall, in Wither-
spoon street. The carriage arrived there in
due course, and the former President, with
much difficulty because of his bulk, entered
the polling place
The election officers were surprised to see
him, for they did not have his name on the
registry list, but they were so excited that
the judge handed him a set of ballots and
an envelope. With these in hand Mr.
Cleveland entered the booth The board
was in a quandary..
Then some one remembered that his house
in Bayard avenue was not in the district
and that the former President should vote
in Chambers street. Mr.. Cleveland came
out of the booth with his envelope in hand
and was informed that he had made a mis-
take and so had the board
Mr.. Cleveland then went to Chambers
street, where he voted

would have been well, but he did not.
friend of his was an election officer and he
stopped to speak to him. He stepped inside
the railing, and in a moment a marshal
was beside him and gruff1y ordered him out
Mr.. Cleveland begged every ones pardon

WHEELER LIKES THE ISLANDS,
Thinks There is an Excellent Field
for American Enterprise

AoF Euterprtse.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, in letter to w. ].
wood OF Florence, Ala, stating his views
on the Philippine question, says:
1 am delighted with the Philippine Isl
ands ! have no doubt that a little push
and energy this fall will crush out the
Aguinaldo insurrection. Out of 5000. .ocO peo-
PIE in these Islands. / do not think that he
has more than 10000 soldiers, and in a
square fight 5000 Americans would tear
them to pieces, All that is necessary to
crush them out at once is for the army
to get at them and keep at them until the
work Is done.
THE evil features of these islands have
been exaggerated to our people Their ex-
tent is SO great from north to south and
the variation of the altitude is such that
there Is great variety of climate and va
riety of productions. Americans will find
this an excellent field for their energies
and the wealth producing powers of these
Is andS under American influence will be
very great.
The action of some people in the United
States in asserting that the people of the
Philippines ought to have independence
does great deal of harm and assists
Agulnaldo in maintaining the insurrectiou
as ne publishes all assertions by Americans
OF that character, and he tells his sup
porters tnat if they hold out until winter
independence will be given them. 1t also
mas q pau eiecl IN uis-tnat people who
are disposed to be favorable to US and who
desire US to govern the islands fear to as
sert themselves because they know that If
they should do so and the Americans should
abandon them they would be in great
danger of their lives, and in all probability
their property would be coufiscated
On september 9 l had a little fight with
the enemy at this point, but it did not
amount to much although as important as
some other engagements which have been
oignlned IN the papers as fights l am sorry
to say that much which appears in the
papers of the United States is gross exag-
geration.
L expect to be on hand for Coneress

withstood, Sheppard being finally showed
over the line and Taylor kicking the only
goal of the game. "
The finest playing of the game was done
by Taylor of the Centrals, his long distance
punting being the feature of the game.
Jones and Tindall of the victorious team
were in very bad shape and deserve praise
for the plucky game they played under ad-
verse circumstances. Capt. Walsh was the
bright particular star of the Business elev-
en-, and Jones, at right end. was close up
with effective work
The Centrals and Western High School
elevens will face each other next Friday
at National Park, and a warm contest is
looked for.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I do not desire to pose as an oddity, or
to draw public attention to myself, but
having read much in the different pa
pers about the seating of Mr.. Roberts in
Congress, and having formed opinion
on the subject. l desire to express it, Be
cause it is the opposite of the average
woman l have refrained from writing be-
fore.
l think that Mr.. Roberts is as good
the average man in politics. He was
brought up in the Mormon faith the same
as we have been brought up in certain
faith He married those wives previous to
the passing of the law prohibiting polyg-
amy, hence he is not a law-breaker so
much great many men right here In
our midst.
After the law was passed what was he
to do? Abandon them? From all l have
read he is caring for them and they are
living together amicably. 1t Is not
though he married one of them, and after
a few years cast her aside with a few
dollars alimony. Each one married him in
the Mormon faith, knowing she could eX
pect to receive successor. He has not
wronged either of them, as hundreds of
men have done, and are doing right here
in this city.
Which Is more fitted to take his seat in
Congress: Mr.. Roberts, who has been true
to his principles and religion, and is car
ing for his wives the average public
man, of whom the general from Kentucky
(the hero of the scandal of a few years
ago., is a fair sample, only it is not known
to the general public They have wife and
family, and yet have broken every mar
rage vow. Mr.. Roberts is only one, and
if his principles are right (and l believe
they are}, he will do good instead of harm.
Money is the great evil and l fear that for
gold he would be seated in Congress had
he ten wives.
1 think every woman who is wife and
mother has enough household and social
duties to perform to keep her busy with
out dabbling in politics. Let us leave the
political and public questions for our hus-
bands to decide. If they seek our advice
let us give 1t to the best of our ability.
Allow me to say to the women of Wash
ington and other Cities let politics alone
and let devote ourselves to our homes
and to wedding out from society those wo-
men who use their husbands names and
their prefix Mrs" as cloak and license
to greater freedom. Look at the number
of men in office and business who send
word he me to their families Detained on
business, and go to meet some lady
friend. Perhaps the very next day the wife
meets that woman at luncheon or at tea
somewhere, touches her hand, or worse
still, she is invited to her own house to
dinner Is not this worse and more de-
serving of our attention than the seating
of Mr. Roberts in Congress? II we We're
all to cut these women when we know of
them We would do more good for our homes
than meddling with public affairs. One
woman can work harm to a dozen homes;
more harm than can be wiped out in a
lifetime. These secret evils are more to be
dreaded than the harm Mr. Roberts can do.
I trust l have not been too plain. and If I
have said anything wrong 1 beg to hear
from anyone on the subject.

GOOD SHOWING FoR GALLAuDEr.
Defeat of the University of Maryland
by Perfect PlaNing.

The University of Maryland foot ball
team, with several substitutes in it's line
up, were badly routed by Gallaudet yester-
day on Kendall Green, the score being Al
to 0. The mutes played perfectly in all de-
tails of the game, and were irresistible for
good gains in all their rushes. The Mary
land boys were almost at the mercy of
their stronger opponents, and were neither
able to score nor prevent scoring. Good
team work was lacking by the visitors. and
they We're almost unable to gain against
their opponents except by kicking. Captain
Lewis and Hare did the only noteworthy
playing for Maryland, while Andree in par
ucular, Rosson, Waters, Wheeler, Kurath,
Geilfuss and Jones did exceptionally we'll

Yesterday was getaway day at Aqueduct,
New York. and the last day of racing in the
metropolitan district. 1t was the banner
crowd of the meeting. as the weather was
perfect and good card was provided. The
sport was well up to the standard. -Four
favorites and two outsiders divided the card.
The first race, a handicap for all ages. was
the best of the day. kinnikinc was a hot
favorite, with Queen of Song and Goidone
the next choices. Gaze and MeehanuS
made the running to the stretch, with Kin
nikinic last. Coming down the stretch Gaze
came on and looked an easy winner, but
Kinnikinic. closing with a burst of speed,
got up in time to win by a length.

BASKET BALL.
Y. NJ. c. A. and Light Infantry Teams
to Meet,

The first game of the District Basket
Ball League will be played tonight at the
Light Infantry gArmory. The Y. NJ C. A.
and Light Infantry teams will be the con-
testants, and an interesting game is ex-
pected. The Y. NJ. c. A. is the youngest
member of the league, but in preliminary
games the team has shown decided talent
defeating the Corcoran team twice. Royce
Hough and James McQuade are with them
this year, having deserted the Light In
'fantry team. This pair will help out very
materially and doubtless play their best
against their Old comrades. Holmead of
last years Mt Pleasant team and Bur-
CESS of the Queers nhave Joined the Light
Infantry, taking the places Of Hough and
McQuade. rs nj
= All the basket ball league games will be
played at the Light Infantry armory, and
dancing will follow each game.

To the disgust of more than 100 students
of Howard University, Manager De Reef
read letter in the Athletic Association
yesterday from Lincoln University, stat
ing that the faculty of that school had an
nulled all games for this season.
For more than five years there has been
much rivalry between Lincoln and How
ard on the gridiron. They met once and
Lincoln came out with score of to 4.
Since then the students of Howard Uni
versity have been on edge to meet and de-
feat the victors of '95. Since the 1st of Oc-
tober the foot ball players have been on
the campus daily and have developed the
strongest team Howard has ever had. They
have had able coaches in the persons of
Prof. C. Cook, Mr.. Ralph Cook, Mr.. Olio
Cook, Mr.. Whipper and others. The team
is composed of experienced players and
has as its captain the 2lo pounds half back,
