a Chicago Elevated Train Company
Refuses Extra Cars for Football.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The Alley Elevated
Road will not furnish extra trains for the
Thanksgiving football game between Chica-
go and Brown. Universities. Ofhcials Of
the company say the reason is that the
crowd which attended last Saturday s
games demolished electric lights, smashed
windows. threw seats out of the windows.
and damaged the cars to the extent OF at
least $50 each.
IF that is the class OF people you cater
to and if that is what you teach at your
universities. We don't want your trade"
said the company's manager to the football
people. We can get along without that
sort of traffic and We will not put on any
extra trains or make any special accommo-
dations for you"

1t is always unpleasant to witness a
family disturbance, and 1t is therefore with
regret that We observe d tendency in New
York Republican machine circles to step
on the movement favorable to Mr.. Eiihu
Root as a candidate for Republican vice
presidential honors next year. II is al
ieged that Senator Platt, Governor Roose-
welt, and the no less distinguished Lou
Payn. and Uncle" George Aldridge, are
all wildly desirous to crush that idea and
turn over its remains to that noble ma
chinist Tim Woodruff, who is supposed
to be much more of a persona grsta at the
Court of Marcus Superbus, On the other
hand, we fancy that Mr.. Mckinley would
prefer to have Eihu Root as his running
mate, and would perhaps insist upon that
choice to the extent of his Influence with
this Administration. Mr.. Root has IN
fortunately offended some of the RePpb-
lican leaders, in showing an indispos'tion
to carry out the ideas, principles and de1Is
of the Algerian system, which he inherited
officially. II is very difficult for a man
to stand well with the Hanna organization
and with his conscience at the same time
Tim Woodruff is said to be gregarious
mixer, and a royal money burner. In
either capacity he is an adversary TO be
