New York. Nov. 14.-One hundred wo-
in Longacre Square to buy the house
hold effects of Mrs. James ]. Corbett.
There was no lively bidding until an
armful of silk stuffs was displayed.
''They We're only used for short time,
you know" said the truthful auctioneer,
because Mrs. Corbett found that they
did not match her complexion. So she
had these removed from the chairs and
things and got silk that did match"
Couldn't she change her complexion? r
asked a tall woman in gray.
Put up the shades said woman IN
a big hat. How can you expect US TO
tell what they look like by gaslight?"
She was tall and a muscular arm was
fixed beneath her tightly-dtting sleeve
The shade went up.
Cries of indignation arose when the
silks were sold in one lot. A dealer
bought them for S. and started to sell
them out, when the auctioneer stopped
him.
There was lively bidding for Mrs.
Corbett's rugs which, it was said, did
match her hair and eyes. The highest
price was ST, and handsome domestic
and imported ones were sold for smaller
sums.
Chiffoniers were knocked down and
ridiculously low. The auctioneer almost
wept when hangings which, he said, were
worth 500, We're sold for $3.50.
Chairs went at bargain-counter rates
and works of art, which looked as
though they might have been selected
by Corbett himself, were counted out

HARvARD-YALE GAME.
Students Wild With Enthusiasm and
Seats Are to Be Increased

New Haven Conn. Nov. 14-Interest
in the final football bame of the season
between the elevens of Harvard and
Yale is at fever heat. More Yale grad
yates and students have applied for
tickets than can be accommodated at
the final game of the season between
Harvard and Yale, on the Yale field,
The Harvard mana cement is in exact
~ the same predicament, and confer
ence was held here today by Hixon and
a representative of Harvard. The Yale
field stands will seat 1900 spectators
Harvard has already received S,S1O
tickets, but wants nearly half as many
more.
A hurried consultation was held by
Manager Hixon with Walter Camp.
graduate adviser Mr.. Camp advised
that the big stands be enlarged by the
addition of several tiers of seats at the
top. Contractors were asked to go to
Yale field this evening to figure on the
contracts. Hixon will receive the BIDS
tomorrow, and, if the finances of the
football association seem to warrant
the outlay an addition will be made to
the east side stand. The income from
the additional admissions would prob
ably be sufficient TO meet the expense
of building.
Except in secret practice the work on
Yale field was not of an encouraging
nature. Sharpe got into the game for
ten minutes at half and was twice or
dered to try for field goals But both
trials were five yards beyond his limit,
and he missed both goals by just that
margin.

WILL 1T BECOME POPULAR.
How Do You Like This New Fade

Vegetarians, anti-coffee drinkers and
food cranks of every description, must
now take a back seat for new fad has
the floor.
A society has recently been formed.
the members Of which pledge themselves
to eat no food whatever that has been
cooked. They claim that uncooked food
is the only rational healthful diet; that
our remote ancestors ate no cooked food
and therefore if we do the same, vigor
and health will be our reward.
Raw meat. raw potatoes. raw wheat,
raw eggs, raw everything, is the entic-
ing bill of fare held out to the enthusiast
tic food crank Of the future and the so
ciety proposes to establish restaurants
in the larger cities where this delightful
menu may be served daily.
Modern cooking is often a dyspepsia
producer, because we fry so many foods
which should be baked, roasted. broiled
or boiled; fried food is indigestible be-
cause each particle of food is incased in
hot grease which the digestive juices Of
the stomach can not easily penetrate;
but properly cooked food is more easily
digested than the same food knocked,
and we predict for the new fad a very
limited following.
The real cause of indigestion is the
lack Of HydrochlOric acid and peptOncS
in the stomach so that no matter how
well cooked the food, it can not be well
digested unless the gastric Juice is
abundant and contains the necessary
amount Of peptones to dissolve the food.
Therefore the most sensible cure fOz
poor digestion is to take after each meal
some safe and reliable digestive like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which sup
ply peptones to digest the meat and
eggs and diatase to digest the bread,
potatoes and similar starchy foods.
Laxative medicines never cure indi-
gestion because they have no digestive
effect whatever upon the food on the
other hand if the food is properly d.
gested there will be no need of laxa-
tives; good digestion does away with
constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
pure aseptic pepsin government test)
diastase and the digestive elements
which weak stOmachs lack and they
cure indigestion by assisting the over
worked. rundown stomach in its hard
work, until it is restored to its normal
condition, when the tablets are no long
er needed, but there are thousands OF
robust men and women who never eat a
meal without taking one or two of Stu
arts Tablets, because by SO doing they
can eat what they please and when they
please and be free from any bad after
effects.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere in the United
States Canada and Great Britain.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.

There is a good deal of rot in the
of the negro in the SOUTH, said a gentle
man who had just returned from that
section of the country, and. at the same
time there is a good deal of truth in it.
The law was passed with the evident in
tention of making a sure thing for the
Democrats, but If a man had to live in
that country he would hardly blame them.
I have seen the negro try to vote where
there is no law DISTINGUISHING him and
I can not say that he is any more sue
cessful than he would be where there is
a law. I saw a negro go up to the polls
in South Carolina and attempt to cast a
vote He was the principal Of the col
Ored school and well-educated man. The
judge asked him if he could read and
write and received affirmative reply.
He then handed the negro a. copy of the
constitution and requested him to read
and explain it The negro began reading

hand and the judge said: Step aside you

Change Made to Prevent Break
ing Into School Year.

The county commissioners Of Kansas,
after the organization of the board in
January, will appoint Jos county super
intendents of schools to serve until the
second Monday in May.
This unusual proceeding is due to the
fact that the county superintendent
elected last week are not entitled to take
their official seats until May.
This condition was brought about by
a change made in the old law by the
last legislature.
Prior to this time the county superin-
tendents elected in November and in
augurated in January have taken

There has never been a time when the In
dianapolis iron and wooden industries were

now troubled to keep in touch with their
orders. Thomas Dean, of the Dean steam
pump works, states that they are working
full time. full handed. and if they did not
get another order would be kept busy until
far into the spring.
The Atkins Saw Works Company is just

The Malleable iron works in their depart
ment for manufacturing chains for ma
rine purposes, have fully four hundred men
employed in this one branch of their bust
ness and in the whole establishment are
employing more than at any former period.
The Nordyke- Marmon Company have the
new four-story building two hundred feet
long by sixty feet wide under roof and
when this is occupied with the several
large buildings already occupied, they will

Ffve-Cent Fare.

Rev. John Vinson, pastor of the Church
of God, residing on Hamburg street, was
before the Board of Works yesterday to
discuss the proposed amendment to the in
terurban franchise, allowing interurban
companies to charge scent fares. Rev.
vinson says the people residing in his
vicinity should have the privilege of using
the Greenwood interurban cars and TO pay
the same fare as they do on the Shelby
street line or any other line of the In
dianapolis Street-railway Company He
said the interurban lines would only ben
eft downtown merchants and the people
OF the city, and merchants doing business
away from the center OF the city should be
allowed TO Use the cars by paying 4-cent
fares.
The board received a petition for an ex-
tension of the Illinois street line from
Thirty-fourth street 10 Thirty-eighth street.
The Mccormick Harvesting Company
asked permission of the board TO construct
a switch across Mobile street west of
Capitol avenue. The request was sent TO
the city engineer.
The board ordered the street-railway
company TO stop work on Keystone ave-
rue, where poles are being placed. and do
the work according TO the permission
granted some time ago. The company was

Another contemplated amendment is that
