Ever so many people take risks on
horse races, railroad stocks, corn or

and quickly cured. That's what

CAPTAIN BARR RETURNS.

Captain Charlie Barr, the skipper who twice
successfully handled the Columbia while she de-
Tended the Americas Cup in the international races.
returned from England yesterday the steamer
Mesaba, of the Atlantic Transport Line. On his
arrival at the dock many questions were aimed at
him in order to discover the reason Of his de-
parture for England. which took place within
week Of the close of the yacht races. He answered
in general way, and AT the same time in manner
that left little room for doubt that his trip had
hen one purely for pleasure. AS to his future
plans he gave no information save that he intended
10 establish his wife and two children, who accom-
panied him in the United States.
Though numerous attempts were made TO obtain
some statement from Captain Barr in regard to the
possibility OF another challenge for the Americas
Cup. he would give no reply that might be consid-
cred positive.

'ROUT THE GANG"
From The Trenton Times.

From The Trenton Times
The opposition TO the plot to make Charles Asa
Francis president Of the Senate, is so v1rtuous
and widespread that tia Republican leaders will
ignore IL their peril.
Significant is the silence Of the Democratic or
gans. They know perfectly well that the election
Of Francis would dscredit the Republican party.
and their hope is that the nefarious scheme Of the
lobbyists VIII succeed
II the Republicans hope TO retain the synpathfes
and support of decent people they must rout the
gang that seeks 70 control the legislature.
To-day's New-York Tribune says:
The lobbyists and mercenaries who have fastened
themselves upon the Republican party in New
Jersey have formed and attempting to put into
execution au6acicUS scheme 10 control the in
coming legislature. They have succeeded in OBJ
tanning the aid OF a few men of hitherto unblem-
1shed reputation, whose ambitions have blinded
them 70 the peril involved. With daring effrOnt-
cry and indecency the lobbyists used the name and
influence Of General Sewel. while the great eaLer
lay on his deathbed, unable 10 raise hand to
check them
Those who have the power TO defeat the plans of
these selfish men. who never had the interest Of

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE report from Yale yes
terday that athletic relations would be resumed
between Pennsylvania and Yale gladly received
at the University of Pennsylvania to-day. The feel
irg that If Yale desires play games of any kind
with the Quakers she may do Pennsylvania S
policy for years has been to play any one in any
game and take and give in true sporting spirit.
This she has done. and Yale will find the Quakers
ready to meet her not only on the diamond. but
also on the the gridiron. The authori-
ties here would admit that any definite arrange
nents are being made but it Is pretty well under
stood that there IS something in the air. and that
athletic relations of all kinds between these import
universities will be resumed.
The newly elected directors OF the Athletic Asso-
citation OF the University of Pennsylvania will meet
tomorrow appoint the different committees. The
principal interest of course, centres the
football chairman. John c. Bell has held this posi-
ton for years, but his defeat makes selection
imperative. II is generally understood that his
successful opponent in the late elections, Louis
De Pui Vail, will get the vacant Craftsmanship, but
this not at all certain and the friends of Bell may
succeed in getting other director to take this
place. On the selection of a new chairman will de-
