Princeton, Nov 13..The first half of the practice yesterday afternoon was open and the time was taken up in drilling the men on the defense and in getting down the field under punts. Gresham Poe was at Little's end, and if he keeps up the pace which he set yesterday afternoon it is almost cer tain that Yale will have another of that celebrated football family to reckon with on Saturday. He has been handi- capped all the season with a bad knee, but is in good shape now.

STARVING MINERS GARY.

Writes Of His sufferings During kion.
dixie winter-Did Not Survive.
Henry Weywich, of Los Angeles
Cal, starved TO death while wjn'erlng
near Mcpherson Lake on the Icssezec
River, Alaska. His partner. Al Dom
my. also of Los Angeles, was only
saved from a similar fate by shooting
a moose. He lived upon the meat until
he reached a relief station.
The story of Weywich's death is re-:
corded in a little Spanish-American
Bible. in Which he kept diary. as his
notepapcr ran out. Weywich and
DomIlly were members of the sunny
South" party which left for the klon-
dixie in 1898. They took the Edmon-
ton trail. and before winter set in all
save Wcywich and Dominy turned
back to civilization. Uominy and Wey-
WITCH struggled on and succeeded in
reaching Mcpherson Lake. where they
built a cabin and prepared to spend
the winter. The mems provisions were
short. but they thought they would
kill enough game TO keep them going.
No gam. appeared though, and by
January they were on short ra;ions.
The rest is best told in entries i'll the
diary:
January G-ToO weak TO go hunting;
cooked spoonful of rice. one OF flour
and one of vegetables. Al gave the
leg of a squirrel"
At this time the men were living on
two meals day. Both meals con-
sisted OF q thin watery soup. rs i'll
that way they could get all the strength
out of their slender stock of provisions.
January Sam eating the buds of
willows. We had little white weaZel
to-day; we are getting weaker ana
thinner every day.
january Am starving TO death.
We had one spoonful of rice. one of
evaporated vegetables and one of flour.
1t is cold and the Thermometer is down
to forty below. How dreary every
thing looks.
January 11-Flour is all gone: no
sign of game 1t is still showing. We
are living on one spoonful OF yegeta-
bIes and the tips of willows
For five days after the entry of jan
uary il. Weywich only signed his
name and put down the date. He was
evidently too weak to write. The I'M
fortunate man died on January Is.
They had had nothing to eat for few
days previous. Practically they had
had nothing for weeks. Dominy and
Weywich sang hymns and familiar
tunes all the morning. The dying man
gradually rclapsed into unconscious
ness. and at o'clock died. His part
ner buried the body few rods away.
Dominy managed to shoot a moose the
first one they hail seen, the same day
that Weywich died.
The last words that Weywich wrote
in the Bible were penned across the
following: "And behold / go in spirit
into Jerusalem. not knowing the things
that shall befall me there"

Rope for Government ships.

Nearly all the rope used by the Uni
ted States navy is manufactured in the
government ropewalk at the Charles
ION navy yard. The plant has just been
thoroughly overhauled and electrical
motive power has been installed there,
At the time of the outbreak of the
Spanish war the government ropewalk
had been allowed to deteriorate, and
the navy department was obliged to
buy large quantities Of supplies out
side, but the improvements made since
then. at cost of over 100000 have so
that it is now ore of the largest in
the world.

The Car proposed to the Princess
Alix of Hesse during family party
at Copenhagen in 1894. He had made up
his mind long before that II he mar
ried he would marry whom he pleased
rather than one commended TO nm
by his counsellors for State reasons.
And his choice had fallen upon the
Queens granddaughter from Hesse.
Accordingly the party at the Rosen'
berg Palace. the scene Of that former
proposal in 1899. had been arranged
on purpose to allow Nicholas to meet
his lady love under the happiest auspi-
ces. Some say that the Gar proposed
during an evening party, others that
he did so in the gardens around the
palace while out for walk with the
Princess. Probably the latter story is
the more nearly correct. In any case
the scene of the betrothal Of the Prince
of Wales so many years previously to
the Princess Alexandria must have
been almost coincident with the scene
of the engagement of the Gar and the
present CZarina.

A Find at Shanghai.

There was dug up few days ago
from the bottom of a m0uldy mass Of
half-forgotten articles, hidden away
in the strong-room of the British Con
sulate, at Shanghai, genuine relic OF
Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the
yOring Pretender. 1t was Il handsome
white metal ''tea-caddy," which an an
cient-loOking piece Of parchment en-
closed within stated to have been the
identical receptacle in which the I'M
fortunate Prince carried his tea, when
ever he was lucky enough to have
any through the dark year 1I46, when
he was being hunted through the
Highlands and Western Isles after the
fatal field of Culloden. The parch-
ment further relates that the caddy
was originally the property of Flora
Macdonald, the heroic sharer of the
Princes adventures. 1t stands about
eight inches high, and is inscribed
with Flora MacDonalds monogram on
