FIRE AT THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Work of boy Inmates Praised by SUI
perIntendent shaIlenberRer.

perintendent ShaI1cnbcrRer.
Had it not been for the prompt work of
the volunteer fire corps at the District
Reform School for Boys, on the Bladens-
burg Road yesterday afternoon. serious
conflagration might have resulted. Near
ly everybody confined in the school
worked like beaver to prevent the
spread of a blaze that originated in the
storeroom of the paper box factory. and
although the confusion offered many
chances for escape, not one ran away.
The fire was confined to one room. and
the total damage will amount to about
$1,000
The fire, the origin Of which is I'M
known, was first discovered about 3
o'clock in the afternoon on the main floor
of the box factory. The room is. about
sixteen feet square, and is packed from
floor to ceiling with paper boxes. When
the alarm was given the boys turned out
and began to fight the flames with two
lines of hose. The blaze was hard to han
die, and for time threatened to spread
to the other floors of the building. Soon
after the blaze was discovered Superin-
tendent Shallenberger notified the Fire
Department and in a short time an en-
CINE from Station No. responded TO the
call. When they reached the school the
flames had been subdued.
Superintendent Shallenbergsr had moth
ing but praise for the boys splendid con-
duct. He said that there was ample OPP
portunity for fifty of them to have
escaped, but not one took advantage OF
the chance. 1t is likely that all will be
rewarded for their good conduct by being
given additional merit marks.

CAUGHT IN THE BLOCKADE.
Plight of Wagon Driver in the

There was one man above all others
who was Disguised with tying up Of the
Broadway cable the other day, and he
was not Metropolitan official. He was
the driver Of delivery wagon. and he
and his wagon were near the corner Of
Broadway and Twenty-first Street On the
way uptown when the cable broke. The
driver was nodding over the reins when
the car behind which he was driving
stopped abruptly. His horse stopped,
too. and the driver Strengthened up in
his seat to find himself in trap. With
in few inches OF his horses nose was

other car, to his left was third. bound

took the horse out of the shafts. dumped
the contents of his wagon on the side

THE Tigers
Columbia Team the Winner by a
Score Of 6 to 5.
A Lucky Play by Roper Saves
Princeton From Being Blanked-
Scores a Touchdown But Goal is
Lost ON a Technicality-Cnptni
Pelps Defensive Tactics Weak.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Columbla's foot
ball eleven, after one of the hardest bat
ties of the season, vanquished the Prince
ton Tigers at Columbia Field this after
noon by score of to 3, in the presence
of one Of the biggest crowds seen here in
years. But for lucky play on the part of
Roper. the Princeton end, in the second
half the Tigers would have been BANKED.
Roper grabbed the bali out OF the hands Of
Fullback Berrien as the latter was tackled
in midfield. and. with scarcely any opposi-
ton, he ran to the Blue and White goal
line for touchdown,
When the ball was brought out for goal
trial it was placed on the ground before
Mills was ready to Kick it. and. because of
that, Princeton lost point. Toward the
close of the second half Columbia showed
better stamina and recuperative powers;
for. when the game ended in the twilight,
Sanford's men were engaged in final des-
perate assault upon Princeton's line and
were making plenty of ground.
Columbia scored a touchdown in the first
half after twenty minutes of fierce foot
ball. There was no fuke about it. The
back field worked with beautiful precision,
the Interference was good. and the gains
were made chiefly at the tackles and the
ends. Most of Columbia's largest gains
were made through Captain Pell who was
a mark all the way through and who played
a weak defence.

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF.
Every Man Must Rc That to Retain
His Health mud DiScstfon

His Health mud Digcstfon.
| There are5 thousands of people in this
world who eat no meat from one year S
| end to another, and certain savage tribes
in Africa and Polynesia are almost ex-
clusively meat eaters; but while there arc
thousands of these, there are millions who
live upon mixed diet of meat. vegeta bles.
and grains and if numbers is a criterion
it would seem that mixed diet is the
best for the human family.
The fact that you will find many vcge-
tarians who appear healthy and vigorous
and meat eaters equally so. and any num-
Der of robust specimens who eat both
meat and Vegetables and anything else
that comes 5hefS way all goes to show
that the old 0saw is the true one. that ev-
cry man must be law to himself as to
what he shah eat and drink
To repair the waste of tissue in brain
workers as wen as to replace the muscle
and sirew offhe laborer. can only be done
through the process of digestion.
Every nerve. muscle sinew. every drop
of blood is extracted from the food We eat
and digest.
In these, days of hustle and worry. and
artificial habits Of life, scarcely one per-
son in thousand can lay claim to a per-
feet digestion; dyspepsia is national
affiiction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a
national blessing.
Nest cases of poor digestion are caused
by failure of the stomach to secrete suffi-
cient gastric juice. or too little Hydro
chloric acid ana lack of peptones and all
of these important essentials to perfect
digestion are found in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in convenient palatable form.
One or two of these tablets taken after
meals ensure perfect digestion and assim-
ilation of the food.
Cathartie. pills and laxative medicines
have no effect whatever in digesting food
and to call such remedies a cure for dys-
pepsia is far fetched and absurd.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep
sin free from animal matter. diastase and
other disesfHes. and not only digest all
wholesome food but tend to increase the
flow of gastric juices and by giving the
weak stomach a much needed rest bring
about a healthy condition of the digestive
organs and a normal appetite.
Nervous. thin blooded, rundown people
should bear in mind that drugs and stimu-
lants cannot furnish good blood, strong
muscles, and steady nerves: these come
only from wholesome food, thoroughly d.
ges;ed; 50-cent box of Stuart's Tablets
taken after meals for few weeks will do
you more real good than drugs, stinu
lants, and dieting combined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is probably
the safest, most popular. and successful
digestive on the market and sold by drug
gists everywhere in the United States,
Canada, and Great Britain.

score Of to was the result of the
game of football played between the
teams of the Gallaudet Reserves and
Georgetown Props at Kendall Gre N YES
terday afternoon. The revolving wedge,
or the turtle back wedge. was the fcl lure
of the game played by the Gallaudet
team, while the Georgetown players es-
sayed the flying wedge in their offensive
work. Very little end work was at
tempted.
Gallaudet kicked off in the first hat and
the ball was forced back and forth from
one side of the centre field to the other.
Georgetown at one time threatened the
Gallaudet goal at the 15-yard line. but
Gallaudet succeeded in getting the bail at
the critical moment and forced it back
into Georgetown's territory until it was
again secured by Georgetown. The ball
again gradually worked toward the Gal
laudet goal, and at the 40-yard line
Georgetown attempted to kick goal from
the field. but failed. Gallaudet had the
ball and had forced it to the Georgetown
S0-yard line when time was called
In the second half. Coleman kicked off
for Georgetown and the -pigskin was
caught b. Korn. who carried it back to
the centre line before he was halted. The
Gallaudet players continued to keep the
ball. and by the revolving wedge tactics
worked it back few yards at a time
until the Georgetown 20-yard line was
reached. Georgetown secured the ball
again and forced it back TO Gallaudet ter
ritory. At the Gallaudet 50-yard line
Georgetown passed the ball back to Cole
man, who kicked it into Strong's hands.
Strong muffed the ball, which bounced cut
of bounds, and when recovered George
town had gained 90 yards. An offs:de
play gave Gallaudet 10 yards. The re-
volving wedge tactics Of the Gallaudet
players continued to make. ground slowly,
and it worked to the 29syard line of
Georgetown with five minutes to play. 1t
looked as though Gallaudet would score,
