Chicago Times Herald: The foot ball
season of 1900 ends without a champion.
In the west3as we'll as in the east there
is no team that can lay undisputed
claims toIhe championship. There are
only two teams among the '.big ones
which have not been defeated, but COM
plications are such that their splendid
records decide nothing. Harvard in the
Feast and Chicago in the west close the
season undefeated. Harvard was tied
and so was Chicago, but nothing worse
befel either. Princeton defeated the
team that tied Harvard, but the tigers
themselves We're defeated once during
the season. In the west the champion
ship might be settled If Wisconsin and
Chicago met, which seems now unlike
ly. The result of a contest between the
cardinals and the maroons would be ac-
cepted as conclusive, but it is likely
that the closing year in the nineteenth
century will name no gridiren cham

MAY DISRUPT FRANCE.
Paris Press Fears that a Revolution
Is Imminent.

The Paris papers, without distinction,
express indignation at the outrage of
which Labor is the victim. The Temps
deplores the state of disorder into which
the Dreyfus affair has dragged the coun-
try" and says that it is high time for
us to stand up and be ourselves again"
Continuing its review of the situation,
the Temps observes: "Casimir-Pe rier tes-
titled to his wishes for q reconciliation,
and we now see how far from it we are.
Perhaps this pistol shot marks the cul-
mination OF the crisis and will restore
us to the path of good sense
The Libcrte, which holds the Govern
mert responsible as the opposite of the
anarchy that has existed for the last two
years and that has sown broadcast the
seeds of civil war; says: ''7he outrage
is ol,J an incident in the era of catas-
trophies toward which the country is
rushing
The Journal Des Dcbats says: '+The
revolver shot is bound to be the end, and
one fine morning it will be closely follow
ed by the horrors of civil war, if violence,
hate, contempt for justice and law and
all the fanatical, anarchic and homicidal
passions continue to poison the air we
breathe"
The Figaro says: 'In all the long series
of crimes in the pages Of our history this
is the first time when assassination has
struck down an advocate, and that, too,
at the very hour when preparing to plead
in defense OF his CLIENT, to establish truth
and to cOnfound accusers."

he said.
You should have committed suicide

Of Lawyer Stevens, also in the audi

Stand up, you scoundrel. In the name
of the most high God | brand you as a

One of his remarks was the prophecy
that before long all the wicked Chicago
papers would be driven from the field by
the Zion Morning Sun and the Zion

that Gov. Tanner and the State Board

BURIED TREASURE GAME.
Largely Works by windIers in Cuba

Largely Worked by windlers in Cuba
Just Now.
About three weeks ago two middle
aged men, who looked like small plant
ers, turned up in Havana and told the
authorities a curious story. They said
that they had lived near Baton Rouge.
and that some time ago they met n man
who claimed to be the former superin-
tendent of a large plantation in the San
Cristobal district, in the province of
Pinar del Rio. According to his story.
the owner of the place had been OBLIGED
to fly for his life during the Cuban in
s%urrection on account of completely
with the revolutionists. and had after
ward been killed in a skirmish. Before
leaving he had melted up a quantity of
gold plate and buried the lngotS, up
posed to be worth about $4,000, neal
the manor house. which was afterward
burned TO the ground by the Spaniards.
The superintendent was the only per
son alive who knew the location of the
gold. aud he had escaped TO the United
States before the war. He offered 10
show where it was buried and turn il
owe for $4,000 in cash.
The two farmers admitted TO the no.
lice thai they had accepted the promo
sition. The balance of the affair was
about the same as all gold brick games.
They came over with the fake SUPER
intendent, were taken to a lonely.
ruined plantation a short distance off
the line of the road that leads from Ha-
vana to San Crlstobal and the ingots
were dug up. They said that they
turned over $6.500 in cash to the swim
dler and promised to give him the bal
ance as soon as they could get to the
bank in Havana, but he gave them the
slip on the road and disappeared. They
then took the ingots to n Havana Jew
eler and learned that they were made
of bell metal, lightly plated with gold.
Their description of the confidence
a was rather vague, and although
the steamers were watched for some
time the authorities failed to get him.
The names given by the two farmers
were evidently assumed.
