MATTHEWS AND FOOTE.

Charles Mathews, the elder, was one of the most buoyant, "rattling,' and so- clal beings that could be imagined. His resources seemed exfsaustless. Ills nantomime work with his features, ana the assumption of varied and opposite characters. was not so much a depart ment of his histrionic gifts as overflow ings of the lively and incompressible spirit within, which must have vent, and could only be satisfied by taking in- numerable shapes. Indeed, there was much likeness to Foote, whom John sons term "incompressible' suggests. Both, in themselves, were the entire puay; both were unapproachable both said good things" though Mathews could not approach Foote in wit; both composed or arranged their own shows" and brought in living person. ages and characters of all descriptions. But in character they were very differ ent. Foote was an unprincipled fellow

GLIMPsEs OF A NEW YOSEMITE

That is Located in Northern Montana.
 In the very heart of the Rockies of northern Montana, surrounded by mountain peaks and ranges in bewil- dering variety of form lies beautiful Lake Macdonald. Not quite so large as Yellowstone lake, 1t surpasses that loftiest of American mountain lakes of approximate size in near grandeur of scenery. Nineteen peaks shoot sky ward along it's emerald shores or within easy eyeshot. Show and glacier ice rest upon some of their summits and shoulders throughout the year. The ed- itor of Forest and Stream says of it: There is every scenic beauty here of an Alpine lake, with far greater choice of game and fish" If Dr. Van Dyke, of New York, would cast his taking fly in these nearby waters, and then cast his irresistible literary hook amid the endless beauties of nature in this favored region, his double catch would furnish forth twofold feast of choicest quality.
 It would be hopeless task for any less gifted pen to attempt description of the noble scenery hid away in this mountain wilderness. The profound blue of the stainless sky. the manifold green of the dense forests that environ the lake and march up the steep flank ot the mountains to the vertical height Of a half mile above it's perfect mirror, that reflects every fine needle and also photographs on it's steely plate another half-mile of rock and snow towering above the frost line, and then the rich sunset hues thrown upon peak and gla- cier-all these are seen twice, in reality and by reflection The rare coloring here lavished on heights and depths is worth long journey to see
 Fish and game abound for experts with rod and gun who will follow them to their l1aunts. The cold water or streams that are born or the meltlng snow and ice of the upper ranges pro- d,1ce trout of solid sweetness ana hnest grain, Twelve miles of brindle path take one to Avalanche basin, deep re- cess shut in between a horseshoe sweep of granite cliffs, that rise twenty-five 1,,ndred feet above the turquoise lake let in it's center, while all around the mountains lift their proud heads to the height of two miles, more or less, aooVe sea level Half a score of white stream lets leap over the edges of the curving precipice, and drop a clear thousand feet upon the shelving detritus below over which they slide and jump in broken lines of foam down into the deep green waters of the lake.

Annual Event Observed in a Fitting
 Manner Last Night.
 The annual opening event of under graduate life of the college year at Yale -"Torchlight Night or the "Sopho- more Freshman Rush'-was held last evening. To-day, satisfied with this preliminary expression of latent enthu- siasm, the upper classmen will again resume their studies after the long sum- mer vacation, while the 'freshies' will speedily be initiated into the delights and also "sidelights" of life in the big university.
 Torchlight night has always been one of the cherished customs of Yale undergraduates. Superceding as it has the historic cane rush, with it's at tending ill-consequences, all of the en- thusiasm which marked the latter is now thrown into ''torchlight night" :
 Last evening the students, bearing lighted torches, assembled in front of Osborn hall at o'clock and opened up lue CGIeulOIllSS Wlll NilCC SiiSeiS for Good old Yale" Then forming in line and led by brass band, which dscoursed popular airs, parade Of the principal streets was held, winding up at the Hopkins Grammar school lot Malcolm Mcbride, captain of the football team, and Captain Allen of the crew, armed with torches, acted as leaders of the ceremonies. and when the lot was reached formed the assembled students into a wide ring, the interior of which was lighted by the torches Then amid the cheers and the yells of their classmates the lightweight wrest- lers of the freshman and sophomore classes appeared and, without further preliminaries set to work in good earn est to establish the supremacy of one or the other <
 John B. Hart of Cincinnati, O., was the sophomore wrestler and George Spencer of Watertown, N. Y., thf freshman contestan. They were even- ly matched and time was called for the first half without either getting a ''fall.', In the second half Spencer se- cured a hip-lock on Hart and threw him. but the latter shortly after even ed up matters by doing the same to Spencer. The judges therefore declar- ed the contest a tie with honors even.
 In the middleweight class Lincoln of Washington, D. C., sophomore easily threw Moore two out of three times, thus securing the honor for his class.
 The heavyweight contest was the most interesting of all, although Cum ha, the stout center of the football team, failed to enter as was expected. George Goes of Waterbury, though, ap- peared as the freshman representative. and fairly played football with his op- ponent, A. R. Francis of Nashville, Tenn. The judges unanimously award ed the decision to the freshman.
 The wrestling matches thus resulted in even honors for both freshmen and ! sophomores, and the latter were de- prived of the joy of growing over the "youngsters At the close Of the wrestling matches the line was again formed and, headed by the band the students marched with locked arms and the "Omega Lambda Chi step to osborn hall again, where they dispers- ed

AS the Olympia swept by the New 1ork the full marine band aboard the Olym- mia nIayed Sousa's "El Capitan" march and the spectators on the excursion fleet cheered The shippers turned loose their whistles and sirens. Everything that could make a noise in the harpor joined. Farther than ears could near the steam jets of the whistles on cralt lying at the Battery and up the North and East rivers could be seen as they screamed their welcome. Ina few mo- ments the sharp rattle of the anchor chain was heard as the Olympias an- chor catted from Its bed into the wa ter.
 Respects of Admtr",s and Captains.
 Then came the admirals and captains from all the ships trooping in theif swift water carriages to pay their re- speets to the nations hero. First Rear Admiral Howison, with his aides, splen- did in gold braid, arrived. AS they came aboard they were given the hon. ors due their rank. Admiral Dewey was still in fatigue uniform when he re- ceived his old classmate at the gang way. There was a cordial smile and hearty handshake and How are you, Howison?" that thrilled the spectators. The official visit to the Olympia lasted for over an hour. Meantime scores or rowboats, tugs, launches and yachts formed about her, many with wives or sweethearts or friends aboard. Almost the>first to make the gangway was the Narkeeta with Admiral Dewey's rela- tives The party was given a warm greeting and taken to the cabin.

 One officer was so oVerjoyed at the sight of the wife he had not seen TOT twenty-three months that he rushed down the gangway and kissed her in the presence of ten thousand people. Some of the visitors had flowers for the admiral and more good things for the crew. One man presented the crew with a rowboat-load of watermelons. AS soon as Admiral Dewey could detach himself from those who were so eager to see him he returned the official vis-

For this ceremo- ny the admiral himself donned the full uniform of his rank. There was pret- ty ceremony as he went aboard the New York and the Chicago and as the launch in which he sat passed each ship of the squadron the rigs were manned, the drums were rolled and the bugles blown, and the officers at the waist sa- luted. Upon the return of the launch to the Olympia the jackstaff from which his flag futtered was taken down by Admiral Dewey's orders and the formal ceremonies were thus omitted another proof of the admiraPs innate modestY.

SPECIAL DEWEY EXCURSION.

They are admirable compost tions for their intense verve and good spirits; their humor, and even wit; their descriptive power, the conveying of characters and incident in a touch or two. They are also perfectly natural and fiowing-in fact. there is no collec- tion that more deserves to be called thoroughly pleasant.-New Century Re- view.

Rear Admiral Howison's appearance in the harbor will in no wise interfere with the programme for Friday. It will be carried out as arranged, except that his flagship, if it should be in the parade, will follow the Olympia instead of Rear Admiral Sampsons flagship New York But it is not certain that Admiral Howison will take part, He is reported to have said this afternoon that he and his crew were worn out af- ter their long journey and proposed to rest and clean up their travel-stained ship. If he should ride in the land pa rade on Saturday, being Sampson's sen- for he will precede the commander of the North Atlantic squadron.
