PLAYED TO A TIE.
A Good BEGINNING for Portland High
School Boys.

A closely contested game of football
between the Portland and Lewiston High
school teams was fought to standstiIl
on the Deering grounds on Saturday
forenoon, the final score bsing to s.
Each team made a touch down in the
second half, but neither team was able
to kick a goal.
The attendance was large for FORE
noon game and there was much cheer
ing and excitement throughout. Port
land had the ball at the kick off. Seiders
sent the sphere flying down to Lewis
toms ten yard line and it was advanced
ten more by the Lewiston player who
caught 1t, but there he was doWned.
Lewiston could make no headway
against the Portland defense and lost the
ball on downs. Then with the ball IN
Portland's hands the backs succeeded in
advancing the ball some Is yards where
a tumble gave 1t to Lewiston, From
this time out the ball changed hands
many times and the fighting was hard
and the playing fast, but neither side
/ scored.
I The first touchdown was made in the
second half by Deering on the old re-
|. volving wedge play, which was worked
|. very successfully. Conley, who replaced
Coyne at half-baok was largely respon-
sible for this touchdown as helbrOught the
|. ball down the field for distance of &c
J. yards in the most sensational run Of th'
game. The P. H. S. boys played yer!
good football after this touchdown ani
L with the ball near the centre Of the tel
1t looked very much as though th
le home team had won a victory, but th
h punt made by Blouin changed the ou
look. The ball landed so near the P.
70 S. goal that it took the visitors but fe
moments to cross the line and tie Il
score. In the remaining two minut
OF play neither goal was in danger al
al the whistle sounded for the end OF t.
~ contest with the ball near the centre

AUSTRALIANS LOYALTY.

Sydney, n. S. W., October 28.-Mr.
William John Lyme, premier and treasur-
or Of New South Wales, during a speech
at the opening Of a German fete, here to-
day, said:
''rhe temper Of the Australian people
was never SO affectl0nate toward the
mother country as 1t is now. The war in
South Africa has produced a patriotic
bond which should last eternally.
1T has been suggested locally that HeI
Majesty should assume the title of Queen
of Australia. To me it seems a good
proposal Indeed l think Her Majesty
might we'll be approached with view tC
her assuming the title OF Empress of the
British Empire, thus embracing all the
colonies and dependencies.'

COURT DRESS.
Costume Prescribed for Diplomats at
 the Russian Canital

the AusStah AapItai.
 Quite a ripple of excitement in American diplomatic circles was caused by a circular issued under the personal instructions of the emperor by the Russian minister of foreign affairs, and which reopens the mueh-discussed question of court dress for American diplomatic representatives abroad The circular formally notifies all for eign embassies and legations at St. Petersburg that the court costume of dark-blue evening coat with a vel yet collar and brass buttons, white ol blue waistcoat and blue trousers, is prescribed for all persons not other wise entitled to wear uniforms who attend court ceremonies. The Russian circular explicitly states that the new regulations apply to all distinguished foreigners and accredited representa- tiVes in Russia of such countries as have not adopted for their diplomatic officers specific uniforms or costumes Ii is stated by those in a position to know that similar measures are likely to be taken at the court of Berlin, Co., penhagen, The Hague and Brussels. It is we'll known that the plain black evening dress worn by official repre- sentat:ges of the United States is not recognized at St. Petersburg as suit able for occasions of ceremony, and is looked upon by the court ehamberlains very much as those assembled at a dinner party in New York would re- gard guest attired in tweed and kniekerboekers. During an informal exchange of views, which preceded the issuance of the Russian circular, al- ready forwarded to the state depart ment at Washington, Mir Tower, the ambassador at St. Petersburg. earn estly requested the Russian authorities To adopt as plain style for diplomatic officers as was consistent with the re- quirements, in order to make it ac- cord with American views on the sub jeet. The Russian government ac- cepted the suggestion, and prescribed court costume of cloth instead of velvet, as was originally contemplated Paris correspondence in New York Tribune.

LIFE ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and oontented and
 Crime Almost Unknown


 Crime Almost Unknown.
 From the New York Times: Few people ever think Of St. Helena except as 2 rock in the sea on which Napoleon lived while miserably and then more miserably died. That the greatest of antl-cllmaXes was not the end of the little islands history is hard to realize. possibly because a poet or romancer would have made it the end, and continuation is therefore more or less unnatural and absurd. Be that as 1t may, St. Helena has remained the abid- ing place of ordinary human beings who concern themselves very little about the colossal ghost generally SUD- posed to be the islands only jnhabi- tant, and the report to the English government just made by their gov ernor shows that they have joys and SCI, oy7.s e-.-..lttiiy like those of the folks dwelling ia places less tragieally fa- nous. For instance, the revenues oi the island last year were G9,152, a de- idediy comfortable sum, but alas! the expenditures amounted to e12,349, and that is an excess of outgo not comfort able at all. The governor says, how ever, that the bad balance was due to some extraordinary drains upon the islands resources, and that he antiei- pates substantial surplus for the cur rent year. A recent increase of the garrison and extensive improvements now making by the colonial and i'm perial authorities assure the imme- diate prosperity of the islanders St. Helena Las no public debt, but is pay ing off by small annual installments a neninterest-bearing grant of 95,000 made by parliament in 1871. The i'm ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building materials, amounted last year to G62,- 98o, and the exports, almost wholly po- tatces to ,391. Lacemaking has been introduced among the girls of the is- land with great success, and the gov- rn9r is experimenting with the manu- factuYe of brick and tile. The whal- CTS have now entirely deserted St. Helena, the few ships engaged in that industry keeping far to the north or south. The total population of the is land is 4,543. The governor hopes that winter visitors from England may be tempted by the salubrity of the eli- mate to try St. Helena, which is su- perior. he says, in some respects to that of Madeira and the Canary islands. He says the people as a whole compare favorably with the English agricul- tural population; with few exceptions all can read and write, and the lan- guage is spoken with greater purity than in many districts at home. As rule, the people are happy and con tented, with little crime among them and much kindness in helping each other. Strangers are greatly impressed with the general ciyility shown by thepl to old and young

WOM A KEFO5 5ES
To Live with Her Husband Becanse She
 Says He Is Homely.


 New York World: Mrs. Jennie Gold farb has given a novel excuse for re- fusing to live with her husband Sam uel. She says that he is too homely for any woman to live with. Goldfarb who is philosopher, admits that he is not an Apollo, but he also insists that his wife has never been known as professional beauty. The Gold farbs have had good deal of trouble since they were married in 1S90 It took Mrs. Geldfarb but short time to discover that her husband did not come up to her standard of manly beauty, and she began to make things uncomfortable for him. Occasionally she went back to her mother. At an- other time Samuel in despair sent her to Europe, hoping that when she re- turned he would find favor in her eyes. But matters were still worse when she came back, and, according to num- Der of affidavits, in the possession of former Judge H. w. Leonard, Gold farb's counsel, she positively refused to live with him at all Goldfarb in the meantime had spent small for tune on complexion beautifers, hair restorers and other toilet luxuries. He became Berry Wall i'll his dress. But his wife remained obdurate, and final ly, a short time ago, charged him be- fore Magistrate Hogan with desertion Goldfarb was sent-railroaded, he says ito the island for six months. He gave bond and was released. He at once sued for separation, and for such other relief as may seem just"
