TIGERS AND INDIANS.

took the Indiana into camp and thrashsd
them thorouahly on Manhattan field this
afternoon. A thorough game OF foot ball
was played, aud while the Tigers came
out victorious, they had tough PROPOSE

Princeton scored two Touchdown, on each
half, and the goals were successfully
kicked, making the total at the finish IL

brought forth no great news and little
change has taken place either In Natal or
the north and northeastern frontiers Of
Cape Colony. The chief fact IL the OPEN
ing Of the bombardmsnt Of Kimberley
on tuesday by Free State artillery which
pro we'd, according to an official statement,
utterly Ineffective. The Boer investment
Of the town, however. is said to be
tightening.
Skirmishing between tine Kim berley
mounted troops and the Beers early In
the week resulted In severe Boer losses,
the British force losing one killed and
one wounded.
Advices from Orange river confirm the
report Of the free state troops advance
upon the north Of Cape Colony; but, ow-
Ing to the retirement Of the British
forces from the borderland, no serious
collision has yet occurred. The COM
ing week. however, Is certain to see i'm
portant Developments In this district.
An official despatch recording a skir-
mish near Belmont, in which Col. Fall
consr was killed. thrse other officers we're
woundsd-one danRerously-and two
privates slightly wounded. Is far from
clear. Il is not known whether Col.
Falooner was preparing for . British ad-
vance or was merely endeavoring to as
certain the numbers Of tins Beers. IL
considered somewhat remarkable that
four out of the six casualties should have
happened to officers and this Is thought
to need some explanation. The British
lost good man In Capt Falconsr, who
was cousin of the Earl Of Kintore. He
did good service In the Soudan under
Cen. Kitchner, from the Dongols expe-
dition to the capture Of Der Der.
Dispatches from Mafeking show that
Col Baden Powell's little force is still
not merely holding Its own, but Is daily
inflicting more or Less severe punish
msnt upon the Boera, whose artillery has
apparently proved valueless.
Nothing has filtered through today
from Lady smith which everybody ex-
poets to be the theatre Of thrilling events
during the coming week. Transports
carrying 3,Oe0 British troops are already
en- route to Durham, having passed Cape
Town and the Beers must strike a deci-
sivs blow at Ladysmith now or never.

Thing. That Fish swallow.

An English writer ~hasrecentty made
a study Of the queer things swallowed
by fish. He leaves out OF the question
the large fishes, like sharks, which
swallow nearly everything that comes
in their way. He confined himself 10
the small fry, and tells these stories Of
odd i ads:
Not long ago a fish merchant found
the an Der m%outhpiece and q portion
of the m%eerschaum stem OF a pipe In 4
goldfish he was dressing for q customer.
At Scarborough the writer saw a
child's coral which, not half an hour
before, had been. on the most unde-
niabls authority, taken from the guliet
OF q good-sized conger.
That bright objects attract the at.
tention Of dishes Is undcuiahls, and at

spoon was found In a fine salmon. The
spoon had upon it the crestNof a we'll

that the latter had been cruising about
IN his yacht in the very district in
which it had been caught. Vhe ro-
racity OF the pike is notorious, but a
year Or two back in a.loch Of the canal

A Mistaken idea.

"There's a good deal of rot heard
about conductors knocking down fares"
said the very intelligent ticket taker of
No. I'LL, as he punched his blue trip
slip, "but even a dishonest man would
be q fool to attempt such n thing on my
modernly conducted road. He might
steal u dime or so occasionally, but
thieves don't stop at such small things
and they are invariably spotted by the
inspectors. Who are lheyp Why, the
detectives employed by the street-car
companies to ride on the care and watch
conductors. 1t is q regular business
and many shrewd men are engaged in
it. They are known TO railroad officials
and travel from city to city all over the
United States. They never stay long
enough III a place TO become known to
the employees of road, and sometimes
never see the higher officials, even.
They ride on a car, watch the conduc-
tor and note everything he does. They
report him by number.
IF he is an honest man but gets
nervous and mixed up in collecting fares
in q crowd of passengers and misses one
or two, or,punches the ticket slip for a
cash fare he is reported rs such and
+! gets warning from the Office. If he j.
in any way crooked the inspectors re-
port says SO and he is fired. I venture
to say that every street-car president
or manager in Washington has the rec-
ord of every conductor on tho line right
under his thumb where he can examine
it in a minute. a mai runs the risk Of
discharge ave if he lets a friend rida
free, for inspectors note this rs we'll az
everything else the punch man does."-
