The Shin Subsidy Bill.

lFron Dry Goods Economist, Dec. To- $780,
The present moment. when the peo-
pie of the United States are urging
congress to remove a large portion
Of the burden of taxation imposed by
the war with Spain, is a most In
opportune enc for the introduction
of hill whose object is to draw from
the treasury some $9,OOo,OO0 per year
for period Of 20 years, even though
the ostenstble aim of the measure is the
building of our merchant marine. Not
only, however. IS the ship subsidy bill
inopportune; its object is entirely I'm.
just. The proposed bill Is, indeed, in
line with the proposition to establish
parcels post; In the one case as In
the other the money Of the people ia
to he used tor the teneflt Of a few,
the few In this case being q limited
number OF owners OF ships. Still worse,
not s1ly weuid os11. citizens be REQUIRED
to pay large sum for the benefit of
American shipbuiiders, but 1t appears
that this bill II enacted into law, would
furnish bounties to many foreign built
vessels. since it provides that foreign
built ships, OF which 81 per cent or
more IL owned in America. are to be
allowed to participate in 4 half sub
s1dy II their owners agree to build
ships OF an equal tonnage In American
yards.
The Merchants association Of New
York has strenuously opposed the pas
sage Of the measure and adopted res
olution to the effect that the bill now
pending before congress is counter to
public sentiment and In conflict with
the public good In admitting foreign
tonnage to American registry and one
half subsidy.

OUR CITIZEN RIIS
AND KING CHRISTIAN
How the Former Subject Met His
Old Ruler on a Visit to His Ma
tive Land and Got a Courteous
Reception

1t was when / went home to mother
that I met King Christian last. They
had told me the right way to approach
the king, the proper number of bows
and all that, and I meant faithfully &c
observe it all. 1 saw a tired and lonely
old man to whom my heart went OUT
on the instant and l went right up and
shook hands, and told him how much
Thought of him and how sorry I was for
his losing his wife, the Queen Louise,
whom everybody loved. He looked sur
prised a moment; then such friendly
look came into his face, and thought
him the handsomest king that ever
was. He asked about the Danes in
America, and 1 told him they were
good citizens, better for not forgetting
their motherland and him in his age
and loss. He patted my hand with a
glad little laugh, and Ddde me tell them
how kindly his thoughts were of them
all AS made to go, after long talk,
he stopped me and, touching the little
silver cross on my coat lapel asked
what it was
told him; told him of the motto, In
His Name" and of the labor of devoted
women in our great country to make
if mean what it said. AS 1 spoke |
remembered my father and took 1t OH
and gave 1t to him, Dlddlng MIN Keep
it. for surely few men could wear II so
worthily. But he put it back into my
hand. thanking me with faithful
grasp of his own; he could not take
it from me, he said.
And so we parted. thought with
pang of remorse, as l stood in the
doorway, of the parting bow l had for
gotten, and turned around to make
good the omission. There stood the
king in his blue uniform, nodding so
mildly to me, with smile so full Of
kindness, that I-why, I just nodded
back and waved my hand.
1t was very improper, I dare say;
perfectly shocking; but never was
heartier greeting to king. 1 meant
every bit of it.
The next year he sent me his cross
of gold for the one of silver I offered
him. 1 wear it gladly, for the knight
hood it confers pledges to the defense
of womanhood and of little children,
and if 1 cannot WELD lance and sword
as the kings men of old, can WELD
the pen. 1t may be that in the provi-
dence of God the shedding of ink in
the cause of right shall set the world
further ahead in our day than the
bloodletting of all the ages past.

shown changes galore. Two entirely
new men have come to the front, Pear
son and Wylie, while the freshmen,
Foulke, has developed into a wonder
Pearson came to the field about a
month after practice began. The
coaches thought they ought to get
something from his symmetrical build
and tried him at quarter back. Not
until he happened to play half back
see his wonderful ability in running
with the ball. His work in the
Orange game was indeed a revela-
ton. He entered the game at half back
in the first half and played throughout.
On several occasions he eluded the
whole opposing team for 80 and 40 yard
runs, and was cheered to the echo by
the students. Wylie from substitute
on the scrub has suddenly emerged
into varsity prominence. He is swift
on his feet and hard to down. Foulke's
running Is the most encouraging feat
ure of development behind the line.
He carries the ball with lightning rap
idity The most sensational feature
Of the Orange game was a quick open
ing through guard through which
Foulke leaped running 80 yards for a
touchdown before the opposing team
realized the ball had been put into
play. Steve McClave continued his
long end runs.

Williams

The football game between Prince
ton and Lafayette, Saturday VIII un-
doubtedly prove one of the grandest
evbihitions on the gridirOn during the
present season. Dewitt and Davis are
the heroes of Princeton, Davis Tor
having saved the day and Dewitt Tor
winning it.
During the coming week the coaches
will unite every effort to overcome the
Tigers great fault of fumolng.
Until they entered the Lafayette
game the Princeton football eleven had
scored 22S points against their OPP
ponents in the seven games OF tne
season. While Harvard, Yale and Unl-
yersity of Pennsylvania have been
scored on. Princeton goal line has not
been. crossed. Judging from this numer-
cal record it must be admitted that the
Tigers have this season a team when
far surpasses that of last year. 10 the
outside world these scores are more
convincing than to the coaches. Ihey
realize that their team has not yet
had the advantage of meeting a strong
aggregation. Such games as that with
Brown and Orange Athletic club give
some practice and a chance for startl-
ing plays but are no test of the real
metal of the team and of what it will
do against Cornell and Yale. In fact
the daily scrimmages with the scrub
have proved of far greater value in
developing the eleven than tests with
weak teams. Seine days the scrub
proves stronger than the varsity with
the addition of coaches as Bose
Reiter and Charlie Young. In these
scrimmages the varsity never scores
more than two tuchdowns.
Another fact which deters the
cbas from giving an optimistic
construction to the season is that all
the games thus far have been played
on the home gridiron. Henceforth
onlny one game will be played here,
the Cornell game being scheduled at
Ithaca, Nov. 2, the game with West
Point Nov. 9, and the final contest
with the Ellis at New Haven, Nov.
1s. So fearful are the coaches of what
the varsity may do away from Prince
ton that they will take the team to
Geneva and probably the scrub next
Wednesday for a few days practice
preceding the Cornell game. The
Tigers are almost as eager to defeat
the Ithacans as the ElEis and real
ize that the first game will require al
most as hard work.
The chief fault in the general play OF
the Tigers is fumbling. The ball is
dropped at the most critical moments.
Orange when Princeton carried the ball
oNer the line only to drop it. The re-
sulting touchback kept the Tigers
from scoring for five minutes.
At half back the past week has
