Miss Jones' Lover Killed I'm 1s14,and
She Refused All other Offers.

Charleston. CIV. Va) cor. Baltimore Sun.
Miss Elizabeth Jones died last night on
CampbelPs creek, about twelve miles from
this city. She would have been 10i years
old had she lived until January next.
For some years past she made her home
with Burley Winfree. and her death was
caused by general breaking down of the
vital powers Her death Is the ending of
q romance such as seldom found In real
life and the story of her faithfulness to
the memory of her lover is one that Is not
often found outside of fiction. In her
early womanhood she was engaged 70 be
married to a young member of the Vlr-
ginia militia, who went out In the serV-
ice of the United States in the war of
1872 He was killed at Alexandria, Va, on
Aug. %, 1914, In q skirmish with the Brit
ish troops. This was few days previous
to the date set for his marriage with Miss
Jones. When the news of his death reach
ed her she was almost broken hearted,
and although she shortly afterward recov-
cred her usual spirits and was a cheerful
and welcome companion to all her friends.
she cherished his memory to the day of
her death, and although would-be lovers
came in plenty, none found favor In her
eyes. She remained true 20 the memory
of the dead, and now, after nearly a CEN
fury OF separation, she has gone to meet
her soldier lover.

TIGERS BEAT YALE'S ELEVEN.
PcE'S KICK WON THE GAME BY a
NARROW MARGIN.

Pcnt-Up Enthusiasm Burst Forth
when He Gracefully Put the Bali
over the Goal From the FieId-It
Won the Game by a Close shave.
But 1t Was "a Great VictOry-It Was
YrIe's Game Up to the Second Half.
New Haven. Conn, Nov. 25.-Iust one
short minute before the close Of one of
the greatest football contests ever played
between Princeton and Yale, little Arthur
Poe, Princelon's right end, member of
the famous Poe family, dropped a beauu-
full goal from the field and won the game
for the Tigers by the narrow margin of
II tn 10.
An the more remarkable is the fact that
Poe never before. in practice or a game
attempted 20 kick goal from the fietd.
To say that Yale was surprised, dumb
founded and chagrined by that kick, is to
put it very mildly, for up to that time
the blue was seemingly a sure winner.
Princeton mad scored previously, after
twelve minutes of play, mainly through
a grand Lhirty-two-yard run by Reiter
who carried the ball nearly to the Yale
goal line, where after a brave battle by
Yale it was pushed over for a touchdown
Fortunately for Princeton, the goal was
kicked and six points were scored, for ten
minutes after Yale had pushed the Tigers
back to their goal through McBrde's
great punting, and block kick gave Yale
a touchdown.
Although Browns lightning work in
getting through the line was responsible
for the blocked kick. the failure of the
goal Immediately after, still gave the
Princetons the lead. 6 to 5.
The Tigers felt fairly easy with this
small margin until five minutes later,
when Sharpe, Yale's half-back, brought
the entire blue crowd to their feet by one
of the most spectacular goals ever kicked
on a football field sending the bail be-
tween the Princeton goal posts from back
of the 45-yard line.
With the score 10 to in her favor Yale
played the second half almost entirely on
the defensive. her line standing up grand
ly against the onslaughts of the Tigers
The play was almost entirely in Yale's
territory in this half, although Princeton
never was able to get it beyond her op-
ponents 15-yard line 1t was little wonder,
therefore, that Poe's kick, which will
probably live forever in Princeton's foot
ball annals, coming when the entire Tiger
crowd had almost given up hope, should
have electrified the Princeton cohorts to
such a degree mat they went fairly crazy
with joy. And this pent-up enthusiasm
burst forth with renewed energy sixty sec
onds later when the referees whistle end
ed the battle in one of the greatest demon
