In the Big Cove and fell asleep, but was

Putting up his gun he was about TO shoot
when he saw fine deer about eight feet

the gun busted.
The bullet killed the deer. the lock-

him to death. the barrels shot up into the

YALE AND BROWN STILL TIED

The Yale-B Brown chess match was
continued yesterday afternoon and the
contests proved 10 be much more inter-
esting than the morning games.
One win and a draw for each team con-
stituted the afternoons work and left
the score at the close OF the day, n tie
The feature OF the days play was the
remarkable ability displayed by Allen, the
Brown freshman. who yesterday made
his initial appearance i'm an intercollegi-
ate tournament and although he lost the
morning game without much effort and
was not expected 10 win against Austsll
Hale's veteran player In the afternoon
he surprised the talent and by a number
OF brilliant moves forced his opponent
10 resign.
Nickless OF Brown and Sawin OF Yale
played an interesting game and as both
are the strongest players on their re-
spective teams, a very close game was
expected. but from the very first move
the Yale man seemed TO have an sdvan-
tage and gradually closed I'm until Nick
less was compelled 10 S~sisn.
Nckless nervousness was clearly ap-
parent and with his eagerness 20 defeat
his opponent the main causes OF his
downfall can be attributed.
Hill Of Brown and Roberts OF Yale
were paired at table No. and their ex-
tremely clean exhibition soon attracted
n large number OF the spectators Hill
opened his game with a Queens Pawn
opening and held a slight advantage to
the end. although not enough TO claim
the game and IL was left until the tour

REMEMBERED
MEN.

The trimmer and office-seeking politician
who complies with the seeming demands
of the multitude and forsakes convic-
tions for expediencies,i lis not an upbuild-
er of either the material or political
welfare Of the Republic. The man
whose whole record is of words, words,
and void of deeds as the sea is of dust
will be forgotten. But the man who
has acted and achieved will be re-
membered and honored. When Bryan
shall be merely shadow, incidental to
the current history of his time, Cleve-
land will be defined and accentuated as
a statesman and patriot, than whom
there is none better in our day and
generation.

THE COMMON
PEOPLE.

German emigrant. But he had uncom-
mon judgment, energy, temperance,
industry and frugality Exercising all
these potentialities with judicious eff
ciency, he became man of property.
He left, at his death, great wealth to
his descendants. Vast public benefits
have accrued to the common people of
New York because of his uncommon
judgmentand his accumulative sagacity.
The Astor free library is only one of the
monuments to his character, acquisi-
tiveness and name. Yet demagogues in
1901 denounce his posterity-which in
every war has furnished patriotic and
gallant defenders of the United States
as plutocrats and unworthy the respect
of plain people.

services, and relatively, for common
services, the most extravagant compen-
sation. A door-keeper may get eight
hundred dollars year, and a bacteri-
ologist twenty-five hundred dollars in
the agricultural department. at Wash
ington. Doorkeepers are never called
to higher pay in n-governmental
places. But each bacteriologist is
called to Yale, Cornell or some other
institution, as soon as his skill and
scientific attainments have made him
known to the country. Public salaries
are too small for those services which
can be rendered only by men of ire
proachable, moral character and great
experience and attainments, and too
large for the doorkeeper and watchman
class.
The absurdity of the schedule of sal
aries by the state is grotesquely illus
trated by the supreme court of Ne
braska, whose judges get twenty five
hundred dollars year, and their clerk
somewhere between ten and fifty thou
sand dollars year. Few men are
really well-qualified for supreme court
judges. But there are scores and scores
of men able to do the duties of the clerk
of that court.
The pay of judges should be quad
rupled, and the pay of clerks reduced.
Then the most experienced and ablest
members of the legal profession may be
induced to accept judgeships, and then
the chances in litigation may be re-
duced, the expenses of the court lessened
and the reputation of the state judiciary
exalted.
When the corporation called govern
ment copies the gainful corporation
and, by paying big salaries, gets big
men into it's service, taxes will be les
sened, laws better administered and
prosperity prolonged.
