more as a manner of practice than any

abounded through the whole game and
0-yard runs were no more of a novelty

The game proved beyond a doubt thai

and Saunders, the new man. played a
game that won for him the admiration OF
the whole college. Haggerty played the
game of his life. He was in every play.
Among the most sensational plays was
that of Saunders near the end of the sec
ond half. On the Yarmouth 80 yard line
Colby held for three downs when the bali

come dropped back for punt and the
punt was returned by Colby. Quick as
flash Saunders was down the field. The
ball bounded and striking man on the
opposing team placed Saunders on side.
Branscome was at once tackled and the
two rolled over together. The ball bound =

not only rolled over onto it. but, more
than that. onto his feet, and with the ball
tucked under his arm passed over the
goal line and back under the goal post.
The first half was on but short time
before it was proven that Yarmouth WAS
outclassed Not only did Colby play
snappier ball. but. more than that, Var

Colby backs. The line men continually
opened up holes big enough to drive a
team through. and through these holes
the backs with splendid Interference
pushed the ball along for and some
times 15-yard gains.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

Weekly Returns Generally Favorable
Rains in the East and South Help the
Crops.
Washington, July 25.-Following is the
weather bureaus summary of crop con-
ditions:
While drought continues over the
western portion Of the Carolinas, 1T mas
been wholly relieved by abundant rains
in Tennessee and generally in the east
and central Gulf states. although por-
tions of Mississippi and Alabama still
need rain Rain is also needed In south
ern Texas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, over
portions of Indiana, Illinois, the middle
Atlantic states and New England, but
upon the whole the general conditions
have been favorable in the states of the
central valleys, lake region and in the
middle Atlantic coast, a marked I'M
provement in the general condition OF
crops Is reported from the middle ROCKY
Mountain states and seasonable wealth.
er conditions have prevailed on the Pa
ciac coast.
Corn would be benefited by rain in
Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana, but as yet
the crop is not suffering seriously In
those states and as rule has done we'll
In the other great corn states OF the
central valleys the crop has made ia
vorabe progress. Recent abundant
rains have greatly improved late corn
in those portions of Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia in which severe drought
prevailed, but came too late for early
corn, which has been permanently in
iured in the states named, as well as
over the western portion of the Caro-
linas, where drought still continues.
Winter wheat harvest is about finished
in the Districts damage will result from
lodgings. and in Nebraska the crop gen.
orally is not as good as was anticipated.
Over the greater part of the central and
western portions of the cotton belt the
condition of cotton is somewhat more
favorable than at the close of the pre-
vious week, and the crop is clean and
generally fruiting well. Complaints of
shedding are received from Alabama,
Georgia and Florida, and dry weather
has checked the growth in South Carroll
ma southwestern North Carolina and
portions of Louisiana and southeastern
Texas In Arkansas and oklahoma cot
ton is in fine condition, growing rapidly
and fruting well.
Late rains have caused marked i'm
provements in the condition of tobacco
in Kentucky and Tennessee, and the
general condition of the crop in the Ohio
valley, middle Atlantic states and New
England is very promising, except in |
portions of Pennsylvania and Virginia. |
Curing continues in the South Atlantic |
states.

land Delivers an Adverse Declston--

da Schaufeic-City Court Cases and
Court News.
Judge Cleaveland of the probate court
yesterday in decision refused to re-
legal fight, which was started Wednes-
| day, was concluded yesterday morning,
and after the arguments of Attorneys
Chase and Hamilton the court decided
that he could not grant Treats applica-
ton.
Judge Cleaveland said he could not
in view of the testimony adduced, re-
store Treats property to him. He said
that not long ago he had restored
mans property to him and the man had
not acted as he ought to have acted.
He said that the man met him on Whal-
ley avenue and showed him a deed of
Windsor Castle from Queen Victoria.
The court said that this instance, how
ever, had not influenced him in deciding
Treats case.
The conservator Of George Treat is
his brother, Frank M. Treat George
owns property valued at $4,000. 1t was
left him by his father. 1t is claimed
that his drinking has made him incapa-
BILE of managing his estate. George
claims that his brother Frank does not
give him enough money to properly sup
port him.
Judge Cleaveland yesterday morning
removed Louis I4itterst as guardian OF
fourteen year-old Frida Schaufele and
appointed Marie ]. Baris, the mother,
as guardian under bonds Of $1,000. Lit
terst was appointed in 1898 He served
capably until 1897, when he disappeared
for time. Later he returned only to
take a steamer for Germany several
months ago. The mother, Marie Baris,
brought application for the guardians
removal, alleging that he had taken
with him $500 belonging the girl. For
this amount the petition stated that
John Hegel was surety, being Litterst's
bondsman.
Judge Cleaveland heard two Witness
es yesterday morning. one was the
mother She testified to Litterst's dis
appearance The second was Litterst's
brother-in-law. He said that Litterst
had had trouble with his wife, whom he
married few weeks ago. and had left |
town. He understood he had gone to

WOMAN'S WALK FROM BANGOR
Ninety Years of Age and Tramps Every
Year

Ninety Years OF age ana IrampS Every
Year
New York, July BINARY Harley is
a woman ninety years old, who. every
year since she was. sixteen years old,
has walked from Bangor, Me, to New
York, earning what money she needed
as she went along by selling lead pen
ellis. Never until this year has she fail
ed to sell enough pencils to pay ex-
penses. Last night she was forced to
apply at the fremont station house and
was arraigned In the Morrisania court
this morning on a technical charge of
vagrancy. No one who heard her tell it
doubted the truth of her story.
She said that when she was sixteen
years old she made the trip first in or
der to see Lafayette when he came to
New York. Her family was wealthy,
but they would not have let her come if
they could have helped it, she enjoyed
the walk so much that she has taken it
every year since. She said that when
Speaker Reed was a boy she stopped
over night at his home once, and that
she was well acquainted with Hannibal
Hamlin. In spite of her age Miss Har-
ley had every appearance of health and
did not know whether she would make
another trip I'm getting a bit old
now" she said
