ON GEORGETOWN FIELD.
Princeton to Meet the BIuc and Grey
Tomorrow.


The victorious Georgetown nine will have
as opponents tomorrow the strong Prince
ton College team. Like old Yale. Princeton
always has a very fine team, and this sea
son it is one of the strongest that has ever
represented the orange and black. George
town will therefore have to play an ex-
tremeIy fine game to defeat the Tigers, and
this they intend to do. On the other hand
the Tigers are thirsting for revenge for the
defeats which Georgetown thrust upon her
last year. and then. again, Princeton de-
sires to defeat the locals because George
town yesterday melted out defeat to Yale.
So far this season the Princeton team has
met and defeated three well-known college
teams. Their opening game was with Rut-
gers College. whom they defeated by the
score of IS to 8. securing seventeen hits
off Rutgers star pitcher. Last Saturday
they met and easily defeated the strong
Fordham team. The feature of the game
was the pitching of Hildebrand. who will
be remembered as having occupied the box
against Georgetown last year.
AS for Georgetown, Coach Bradley has
succeeded in bringing the team into cham
pionship trim. every man being in the best
possible form. AS Princeton possesses an
unusually large number of supporters and
friends, a very large crowd will no doubt
be drawn out to the Georgetown campus
exciting of the season. and will in all prob
ability be a pitchers battle, with Hide
brand and Blewett as the opposing twirlers.

M'GOVERN. THE ACTOR.
A Hitch in His Proposed Match With
Dave Sullivan.

NEW YORK April 12.-There was big
gathering of sports at the Delavan House
this evening to witness the arranging OF
a match between Terry McGovern and
Dave Sullivan. Sam Harris came all the
way from Troy to fix details. but. after
waiting nearly two hours. he left in dis
gust. Harris was willing to pit McGovern
against Sullivan at l24 pounds. He SAID
that he would only concede this weight TO
Sullivan. as he firmly believed that such
battle would draw a big house and be
very interesting. Paddy Sullivan was
present in the interests of Eddie Gard
ner brother to Oscar Gardner. and told
Harris that in case no agreement was
arranged between Sullivan and McCovern,
Gardner would take Sullivan's place and
fight the champion.
Harris looks upon the substitution of
Gardner as feasible. Harris said he had
concluded not to let McG0vern go to Eng
land and fight Ben Jordan next winter at
the National Sporting Club. He said his
present arrangements will prevent Terry
from leaving America for at least year

About 1000 people brsved the unpleasant

Benning course yesterday The track,
while sloppy. was firm underneath the

time made in the five races on the fiat.
The bookmakers took a large amount Of
money from the talent during the day. as
the heavily backed favorites seemed to
be unable to win Two of the events went
10 long shots.
The surprise of the day came with the
first race, when Gwynne, with Weisse, a
stable boy, up won the contest for maiden
three-year-olds and up. Gwynne opened
on some books as high as $50 to /, but
after the warm-up the price dropped
rapidly until is to l was the best found
in the ring. Charley Moore, a well played
favorite, was not in the money. Shamokin
ran away three times on false breaks
Gwynne got the worst of the getaway
and was last to get running. He rapidly
pulled up to the field of ten starters, how
ever. and, running around the bunch, won
cleverly by three lengths.
Educate made her own running in the
two-year-oid event and won easily. Nc
Joynt handled the FLY loosely, or she
would have had a long lead at the finish.
Scurry, an even fayorite with Educate. ran

in the fourth race and the bookies raked

made too much use OF her on the back

in the stretch and won easily.
Knight OF the Garter ran a waiting race

INDIANAPOLIS April 12.-The Rev. c.
c. Cissel. pastor of the Berry Street Meth
odist Church. at Fort Wayne; his wife
and Mr. and Mrs. Keisling parents of Mrs.
Cissel. were victims Of poison last night,
and for time it was thought all would
die The symptoms indicated arsenical
poisoning but the members of the family
contended that such a thing was impos-
sible. as they did not keep any servants
and the meals had been prepared by Mrs.
CisSel herself.
An analysis of the coffee today showed
that rat poison had been mixed literally
with the grounds. and it is supposed some
one entered the kitchen between the noon
lunch and the evening meal and placed the
poison in the coffee.

THE TRUTH.

The biggest chunk of truth in a
nutshell that we have run across in
long time is the following from
the South Side Citizen, published
in Denver:
Colorado has an immense outs
put OF gold and silver, but its prin-
cipal product is politicians. The
supply is absolutely unlimited.
They are OF many kinds, principal
ly cheap. II about nine>tenths OF

Reformation must come from
within and through and by the in
dividual himself. The Christian
church teaches that there must be a
change Of heart If the church is
in earnest in its plea for reform, it
will better secure the redemption
of mankind, by such methods than
by shutting up the saloon. Let
the individual effect his own salva>
ton or stop the manufacture OF
whiskey.

High license for the saloon is a
bar to indeceney and the living of
a lie. Close the saloons Of this city,
which average a higher grade in
their conduct and the men who
own them, than almost any city in
Colorado and every secret place in
the city becomes a bootiegging
dive. Topeka has twenty five hid
den saloons. No one denies this
and if it were known there are
doubtless fifty more places where
rum can be obtained. These are
facts. not lies. Is anyone SO Sim
pie that they can believe that no
liquor or as much liquor would not
be sold in Grand Junction under a
system of no license? We hardly
believe that men of experience will
disbelieve this, because it can be
almost readily proven that such
has been the experience of many
prohibition towns.

She then began to make inquiry as
to the location of the spot and told
some of her friends Of it. Some
one told her there was a Mount Of
the Holy Cross in Colorado and
she concluded to come to this state
and see if the place corresponded
with her dream picture. The woman
came to Leadville and when she

If closing saloons would effect

turn our whole effort to secure no

But it will not. We know that
prohibition in Kansas has been a
hollow mockery. We know that
there is not town in that state but
has had liquor secretly on sale, ever
since the law went into effect. We
