ALL THE gold, so-called democratic
newspapers, with one accord print and
reprint and copy everything they see
conceived and intended to hurt the
democratic party at the coming cleo
ton, but attempt to conceal, excuse or
palate whatever may tend to initiate
against the republicans. But allies
must stand by each other, though the
few Southern men among the goldites
referred to, in doing so endorse every
thing they have opposed until they
made that alliance.

INDICTED JEFFERSON DAVIS. --Corne.
Illus Harris, the only negro member OF
the jury which indicted President JEFF
ferson Davis, of the CoDfederacy, after
the civil war, died in Newpor; News
Saturday, aged nearly seventy years.
He was said to be the only surviving
member of that jury.
Harris was strong democrat,
and an admirer Mr.. Bryan. Alter the
latter's defeat 10 1896, he wrote Mr..
Bryan letter telling him not to become
discouraged; that the battle was only
begun, He received in reply lengthy
letter from the Presidential aspirsnt.
After the war Harris settled In Rich
mond, and later was elected a justice
OF the peace 10 Jackson ward. He re-
NAMED there until ten years ago, when
he went to Newport News. He opened
a barber shop there, and as fast as be
earned money he put it into property,
and at his death he owned considerable
real estate there, as we'll as in Rich
mond. He was elected ss justice OF
the peace in Newport News four years
ago.
An effort was made to Dust him on &C.
count OF the peculiar manner in which
be wrote his warrants, going by his own
law instead OF that Of the State. He
won out in court, however, and htl I
his Office until defeated In election. He
was one of the best known negro
characters In that section of Virginia.

EXCITING POLO GAME,
UARTFORD TEAM AGAIN FAILS
BEFORE NEW HAVEN,

Game Was One of the Fastest and Most
Exciting of the SeasOn-BOth Teams
Played Strong Game-Bone Leaps
| Over DOherty's Back and Later Both
| Men Have II Hand-to- humd Encounter.
! The New Haven polo team once more
lowered the colors of Tom Carter
quintet from Hartford at the Polo rink
last night before large crowd of spec
tators. 1t wasn't for want of hard
work and perseverance that the Capital
! City boys were defeated, for every man
on the team played their level best to
down the Blues. But while Hartford
played strong game New Haven
played stronger, and at time COM
jpletely out-classed them in both speed
and science. From a rooters point of
view it was perhaps the best game of
the season, because ii was fast, scien-
tiic and had sandwiched in between
the acts several feats that do not al
together belong to the game. In the
first period Cotter raised the ire of the
crowd by tripping up Bone when moth
ing else would have stopped his on
ward progress in the direction of Star
iie. The same player again had foul
called ON him in the second period, but
ii was not until the third period of the
game that the blood of the rooters was
sent UP to fever heat. Just after Bone
had scored the eighth goal Of the game
Cotter retired and Main took his place.
The fun began by Lations making sew
eral wonderful stops against Wodt5e
and Schofeld, and was followed up by
a wonderful run by Bone in which he
carried the ball from one end of the
rink to the other encountering the great
Barney on his way. Doherty tried to
block him, but with the bound of a
deer Bone leaped over his back and
was round the cage before the half back
knew what had happened The ap-
plause was deafening, and Doherty felt
put out at having to lower his colors to
the great rusher But there was fire in
his eye, which seemed to say, try that
feat again. And Bone in a few seconds
after again came down the surface
with lightning speed, clearing down
encountered the star, Doherty, who, I'M
able again to stop him by fair means
by other tactics to bring
Bone to time. This was the signal for
a man to man combat in which both
players came to the floor in heap, and
the audience rose and shouted while
not few made their way inside the
netting. Peace was soon restored and
the game again proceeded. The home
players got somewhat demoralized af-
ter this and allowed Hartford to score
twice. But the visitors lost one goal on
fouls
Altogether the game was a good one
and well played. The score and sum

BANK DIRECTORS MEET.
Action Taken on the Death of Andrew
w. DeForest

Action Taken on the Death of Andrew
w. DeForest.
The directors Of the National Trades
mems bank held meeting yesterday
and the following action was taken in
| regard to the death of Andrew w. De-
Forest, who was the vice president of
| the bank
| The directors of this bank, having
learned with deep sorrow of the loss of
their vice president, Andrew w. De-
Forest, who died at his home in this
city on the 10Th day of November 1900,
desire to place on record this tribute to
his memory.
Mr.. DeForest's connection with many
I important interests in New Haven
makes his death a loss which will be
widely felt, and the termination of his
long and valuable services to this insti-
tuition is of much more than ordinary
interest
Realizing the need of New Haven for
additional banking facilities, he associ-
ated himself with others for the pur-
pose of securing a charter for the
Tradesmens bank, which was granted
by the general assembly of Connecticut
in 1854. He was chosen director at
the organization of the bank, and he
had been annually reelected to that
office, and since 1896 he had served the
bank as vice president.
During this long period all who were
associated in the formation of the bank
and who served with him as original
directors have passed away, and for
several years he had been the only sur
vivor.
Mr.. DeForest fully met the highest
requirements of a director in his atten-
ton to the interests of the bank and his
knowledge of men, his wide experience
in business affairs, his clear perception
and good Judgment rendered his coun-
sci most valuable in the guidance of the
banks affairs.
This service, so freely given, so long
continued and now ended by his DEATH
will be greatly missed, and his loss will
be sincerely mourned by all connected
with the institution
We offer to the family of our deceased
vice president our deep sympathy in
their great bereavement, and direct the
officers of the bank to transmit to them
a copy of this expression of our regard.
Attest: ROBERT FOOTE,
Cashier.
