An Itemized Account.
NO the Editor of the Ylrginian- Pilot:

Your editorial of the Gath instant
upon the proprieety of requiring an
itemized statement to be published ut
stated periods by those receiving and
disbursing the city's money, was well
timed. and has been generally approx
cd and commended. The official publ
cation In the public press of the city
or every item received and expended
by the different departments of the
city government, each fund being stat
cd separately from every other fund,
would enable the people to know Just
now the money goes. who gets 1t, and
how much Is left; 1t would also be a
great restraint upon the reckless. and
sometimes, corrupt use Of the money
collected for the purpose of maintain
ing the government. Every act OF pub
lie officers should be given the fullest
puoilclty. Competent and faithful Off
c GUS as well as the taxpayer, natu-
rally recognize the duty OF making
known In the fullest and most public
manner the amounts received and paid
out by SUCH officers, and to whom and
Tor what paid; and the faithful official
insists upon such course, because II
puts stop to all unfavorable criti-
cisms and unfounded reports. 1t IL only
the incompetent or corrupt official
who fears to let the people, whose
money he receives and disburses. know
now and to whom it has been paid
out.
why should not the Councils take
THIS matter up and require a publish
ed statement. showing in detail how
much money has been received by tho
street, Water, Fire, Police, and every
other department OF the city govern
ment, each being required to state the
source or sources from which 1t re-
ceiVed the money which came to its
hands, and to state to whom and for
what 1t paid out the sum or sums which
1t claims to have disburscd?
Such course would receive the sane.

TO say that Yale was surprised.
dumbfounded and chagrined by that
Kick is to put it very mildly, for up to
that time the blue was seemingly a
sure winner
Princeton had scored previously, after
twelve minutes of play. mainly through
grand 32-yard run by Reiter, who
carried the ball nearly to the Yale goal
line. where, after a brave battle by
Yale. 1t was pushed over for n touch
down. Fortunately for Princeton the
goal was kicked and points scored,
for ten minutes after Yale had pushed
the Tigers back to their goal through
McBride's great Dunting and Il block
kick gave Yale Il touchdown.
Although Browns lightning work in
getting through the line was RESPONSE

the Princetons the lend-G to 3.
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 football field, sending the
ball between the Princeton goal posts
from back of the 45-yard line.
With the score 10 to G in her favor,
Yale played the second half almost en-

WOUNDED BoERs SHOT.


An incident similar to the one which
occurred at the battle of Glencoe,
when an officer was shot by n
wounded Boer, is reported by the
London Times correspondent at Bel
mont, who says that Lieut.. Blundall.
OF the Grenadier Guards, was shot by
n wounded Boer whom he was tending
Such statements appear incredible.
but they are now confirmed officially,
by the protest of General Methuen,
who has sent q message TO the Boer
commander, saying:
Il must ask YOU to warn your
wounded not to shoot our officers. l
must warn you not to use dumdum
bullets, or use the flag of truce treach-
crously. Such action is cowordly in the
extreme and cannot countcnance it."
The reported determination of the
United states to compel Kruger to al
low consul general Macrum to eXer-
else his rights as British agent at Pre-
toria has created al excellent impress
sion here and has called out various
expressions of satisfaction and graft

Thomas BFannen, veteran railroad
man and one of the Oldest employees Of

1850 o'clock this morning at the City
hospital of injuries he received yes
terday morning at the company's
freight sheds. at the foot Of Eleventh
street, He was caught between two
freight cars. and his hips and back
were crushed.
The deceased, whose home was at
200 Jacob street, was about seventy
years old. He had been IN the service
Of the road since its construction. He
was a faithful servant Of the company,
which in return for the years he had
given to its service would doubtless
have employed him so long as he was
able to answer the roll cali. HIS age
robbed him Of some of his suppleness.
evidently, yesterday, when he endeav-
ored to get out of the way Of the cars
and before help could reach him they
had crushed his body.
The city ambulance removed him to
the city hospital. and Dr.. F. j. Hupp
attended him. The injured man lin
gered until midnight and there seemed
to be hope of his recovery until few
minutes before his passing away, when
he collapsed.
The deceased was employed as Ia
borer at the "Pewlkey" freight depot.
He was very well known among rail-
road men. who will regret to learn Of
his death.

THE PHILHARMONIC
Trio Gives It's First Concert of the
winter and Scores a Decided Artis-
tic Triumph.


winter and Scores a Decided Artis-
tic Triumph,
The Philharmonic Club concert at
the Y. N. c. A. hall, last
evening, directed by Prof. Her
mann NJ. Shockey, with Mrs. Flora
Williams, Mrs. Zou Hastings Frazier
and Prof. Edward Blumenberg as solo
lists. was the artlstIcally brilliant mu-
steal event Of the early winter. A rep
resentatlve and appreciative audience
enthusiastically greeted the trio. Prof.
shockey, Prof. Blumenberg and Mr..
Frederick Meyer, and the De Beriot
number, which opened the programme,
proved an Inspiration not frequent In
concert audiences, and this feeling dis
tinguIshed the hearing of every NUM-
Der of a magnificent programme. To
a yocIferous encore after the first num-
Der, both movements Of which were ex-
quisitely interpreted, Pache's "Abend-
stImme" was given.
Mrs. Zou Hastings Frazier. always
a favorite in Musical Wheeling. APP
peared for the first time this season
and received rounds OF hearty APP
plause. Her two numbers. Wells
''spring Song" and Massenet's Good
Night" were both beautifully rendered
an In good voice. A repetition would
have pleased. but Mrs. Frazier grace
fully acknowledged the compliment
with bow.
Prof. Edward Blumenberg. solo vio-
lInIst of the evening, played Wieniaw-
skis "Legende" masterfully. and the
enthusiasm Of the audience was shown
in the loud and continued applause for
second solo selection, which was most
artTstically given. Prof. Blumenberg's
violin work last evening throughout
was perfect.
The trio next gave Themes simple
Ave" gem in the clubs repertoire,
and It's charming Interpretation called
forth another burst of appreciatlve APP
plause, to which Herbert's "serenade"
was delightfully."- given In response.
Mrs. Flora Williams, as usual. was
applauded upon entrance. and her
splendid rendering of Nevin's "Airy
Beacon" and DonIzettFs Salute to
France" captured the audience, and to
an Imperative demand she sang New
combs celeste" taking ballad. The
programme closed with Beethoven's
superb E fiat major, three movements
of which were excellently given.
Mr.. Meyers cello work in all NUM-
bers was well brought forth. while
Prof. shockey, the director of the trio
and to whom fell the piano work of the
evening, received plaudIts and deserv-
ing complimentary recognition for the
magnificent manipulation of his inStru-
ment and the distinguished interpretn-
tlon given all numbers.
The ovation given all the perform
ers in last nights concert was merited
and 1t is hoped the Philharmonic Will
again open It's season OF winter con-
