Electra at breakfast time, Miss Wagner
went downstairs and entered Mrs. Bar
ker's little sitting room just as the clock
was striking 9. Electra, with her hat al
ready on. stood by the table writing some
thing upon the margin of the Weekly
Chronicle. Her forehead wore a puzzled
frown. and she hesitated now and then,
moving her lips IN apparent perplexity,ani
gazing abstrs ctedly at her pencil. But
she welcomed Miss Wagner with a beam

Russian Naval Inventions.
It is very evident that Russia has not
been any the less progressive in the in
fnitesimal correlative details of her navy
than she has been in her warships. All
around you you see that the march Of
improvement has beeen correspondingly
great in the matter of armament, and the
thousand and one things that go to make
up an efficient naval service. Here and
there are evidences that her inventors
have more than kept pace with the times
An enormous S-inch 45-caliber cannon, for
instance, made at Aboukof, near St
Petersburg, is equipped with a mercury
reservoir, quite a new thing In artillery
science, which was invented by Capt Mil
Ter, a Russian officer of marine artillery.
Other Russian inventors have applied
most practical and ingenious notifications
TO wei known existing ordinances, tending
to enhance their value or simplify their
mechanism very considerably.
In the general line of inventions the
showing is a most interesting one. Thus
multitudes of things about a ship have
been vastly improved upon. not only In
navigating appliances and apparatus for
handling ammunition when in action. but
In such minor matters as contribute 10
the comfort of officers and crew, A young
Russian officer has invented q form OF
telephone through which the slightest
sound is audible, whatever may be the
disturbing noises about the ship.
The same telephone is made applica bic
to submarine uses by divers. Indeed, the
inventions devoted to promoting the ef-
fieiency OF the diving service are innu-
merable This service is one that occu-
pies a conspicuous place in the Russian
navy. and under the minister Of marine

stadt where two years course of study

PROTEST BY HARVARD,
Crimson Athletic Committee Objects
 to McCracken's Playing.

Crimson Athletic Committee Objects
 to McCracken's Playing Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 2S-The Har- yard athletic committee has written a letter to the Pennsylvania football management, calling attention to the fact that McCracken, the Pennsylvania .fullback played two games in his freshman year, two years ago this fall, and in the spring of that year also took part in the dual track games with Harvard.
 According to Harvard's interpreta- tion of the four years eligibility rule, McCracken will not be able to play against Harvard this year. It is un- derstood, however, that Pennsylvania claims that the two football games in which McCracken played were minor games and did not count, and that the four years since his competition in the track games will not expire until Jan uary 1, 1901.
 This Is very loose interpretation of the rule and it is understood that liar yard will take firm stand against all lowing McCracken to play next Satur- day.
 The Harvard-Yale freshman football game will be played in New Haven on the morning of November IT,

A Large Audience Heard Him at St.
 Aloysius Hall Last Night.
 Anthony Carroll's meeting in St Aloysius hall was very largely attended last night, every chair in the hall be- ing occupied, MT. Carroll hired the hall for the meeting and then invited all those who cared to hear him speak to attend. His well known fearless at titude on public questions attracted to the meeting hundreds who desired to hear him express his opinions. They were not disappointed. MT. Carroll spoke upon the national issues in the present campaign and exhorted his hearers to vote for Bryan. He spoke against MT. Bronson's candidacy and also against that of Hon. N. D. Sperry. He spoke of abuses which he alleged now exist and have for years existed in the administration of municipal affairs in New Haven. He said that he was not owned by any party or by any ring and that he felt proud to say that he stood upon the platform as a free American and not controlled by cer- tain local politician whose name he mentioned.

COLUMBIA FRIGHTENS YALE.
Sanford's Men Make a Great Showing
 Against the Blue.

Sanford's Men Make a Great Showing 1 Against the Blue. l There were many surprises in the foot ball games played Saturday, the most notable of which was the result of the Columbia game In New York. The game ended with the score | of 12 to 5, in favor of the New Haven men, but it was after the hardest kind of battle that the dozen points were rolled up. Foster Sanford's men scored on Yale, and until the last ten minutes of the game it looked like a Columbia victory. Weekes, the slippery half-back of the Columbia team scored touch down after a run of fifty-seven yards, and Bruce failed to kick the goal. The score was made about ten minutes after the kick off in the first half. There seems to be a difference of opinion as | to how the run was made. Some of the New York papers say that Weekes aid ed by magnificent interference skirted Yale's left end, and dodging, Wear had | clear field for a touchdown. The Yale | News of this morning also says that it was an end run that was the result of | the touchdown.
 The New York Tribune, however says that Weekes jumped on the back of big Bruce, the Columbia center on fake end play headed at Gould, and as the play was so well executed, that he had cleared the entire line with but only one man to pass. This man was Wear, and by clever dodge he es- capped the little Yale half back. The I,>1a ,A1, -aI that way, and the principals deserve all the more credit for the way it was carried out
 The scoring of the touchdown by Col umbia served as a tonic for Yale, and they braced up in a marvellous manner. They were unable to score, however, until sixteen minutes of the second half had been played, when, by steady line work and by straight football Hale was pushed over the line for touch- down after which he kicked a goal More terrific line bucking resulted in another touchdown six minutes later, and again Hale kicked a goal.
 The game showed that the Yale ends are the weakest points in the team, and unless some changes are made it is
  and Harvard games will be most un- satisfactory.
 The team lined up Saturday as fol- lows:
