UNFORTUNATE TICKET CLERK
OVERP0WERED BY WORDS

"When does the next train that stops
at Montrose leave here?" asked the
resolute widow at the booking office
window
you'll have to wait five hours,
ma'am."
Il don't think So"
"Well, perhaps you know better than
I do?"
yes, sir! And perhaps you know
better than I do whether 1 am expect
ing to travel by that train myself, or
whether I am inquiring for a relative
that's visiting at my house! And may
be you think it is your business to
stand behind there and try to instruct
people about things they know as well
as you do if not better! And perhaps
you will learn some day to give people
civil answers when they ask you civil
questions, young man; but my opinion
is you WON'T"

Annual Dinner Under Auspices of
American Society Was Attend
ed by Many Notable English
and French Guests
GOOD WORDS FOR
AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE
Feeling Tribute Paid to the Late
President Mckinley by M. Jules
Cambon "A. Conan Doyle and
Anthony Hope Among the
Speakers

London, Nov .2S.-Three hundred guests
assembled this evening for the Thanks
giving dinner given under the auspices
of the American Society in London.
John Morgan Richards was in the
chair.
Paul Cambon the French ambassador
to Great Britain proposed the health
lof President Roosevelt.
M Cambon paid a feeling tribute to
the late president Mckinley, whose
death he said, had shocked France and
knit the sister republics in closer bonds
.of sympathy and sorrow. While Presi-
Ident Roosevelt was an unknown guam
Itity in the world, said NJ Cambon, his
was a cultured, energetic and charm
ing personality, and his elevation to
the presidency had been received in
France with the happiest anticipations
of carrying on the cordial relations
which had existed between the two
countries for over a century past.
Justice Walton paid a high tribute to
Mr.. Whites efforts to promote good
feeling between Great Britain and the
United States. Mr.. White, replying.
said he had long been acquainted with
the cordial feeling Great Britain enter
Itained 70 the United States and that he
regretted that Joseph H. Choate, Amer
lean ambassador to Great Britain, who
had done so much to cultivate these re-
lations, was not present at this Thanks
giving dinner. Mr.. White said it was
the time for family talks and that he
hoped to be forgiven if he referred to
that American prosperity which made
the American treasury the envy of the
world
If Americas friendship for Great
Britain was pronounced, this did not
mean, said Mr. White, that Ameri-
cans friendship for France was not
very great.
A. Conan Doyle produced perhaps
the greatest effect of the evening by
declaring the pendulum of the English
speaking world had now swung to
somewhere between New York and
Chicago.
There is no use in Disgusting this
important fact continued Mr.. Doyle,
yet, if the English speaking races
should become impelled to meet a
common foe, the world would soon see
how quickly these same English
speaking people would close up their
ranks and march shoulder to shoulder
for the advancement of civilization"
Anthony Hope, the novelist, said the
only thing which remained to be done
to bind the nations more closely to-
gether was Tor some one 10 ma com
mon denomination for English and
American jokes.

! ferred to the friendly relations exist

FOR BOSTON COLLEGE

Boston, Nov. 2S.-The Massachusetts
Agricultural College defeated Boston
College this afternoon, II to 0, in a
game which pleased 1900 people, on
the American League grounds. Boston
College was unable to score, although
at the end of the first period she had
the ball on her opponents two-yard
line A revolving tackle back play
was worked successfully many times
by the winners.
The visitors kicked off with the wind
to Boston's yard line. Murphy ran
the kick back to his 25-yard line. Bos-
ton lost 10 yards for off-side play ana
Amherst got the ball on a tumble.
Line bucl1ing and a fake pass carried
the ball to Boston's 10-yard line and
Halligan was sent through for the
first touchdown.
In the second half Munson brought
the kickoff back to his 20-yard line.
A. Hearn worked the quarterback kick
out of bounds to mid-field, where Am
herst secured the ball on donws.
Again Bostons line proved weak and
Amherst sent Schnell and Halligan
against right and left tackle, carrying
the ball steadily to Boston's 20 yard
line. Boston paid 10 yards for being
off-side, and Schnell went through for
the second and last touchdown of the
game.
McDermott's run Of 80 yards around
the Agricultural left end was the fea-
ture from a Boston College point. The

Down the Field, Making I'm

Providence, Nov. 2S.-With a score Of
% points, the Dartmouth Eleven today
recorded their first victory over a
Brown team, and distinguished them
selves by shutting out their opponents,
who, from the very start. were unable
to hold their own.
The Hanover men were the superiors
in every part of the play. They out
weighed considerably the Brown men,
and in offensive and defensive work
there was little chance for comparison
Only twice did Brown rally, and each
time she gained about so yards in a
series of short rushes through the
Dartmouth line together with several
snappy end runs.
The play was fast, and fumbles were
freuuent. Dartmouth was five times
penalized from five to fifteen yards FOR
offside play. The Hanover men played
a line-bucking game throughout, and
seldom were their attacks futile. They
actually pushed their opponents bodily
down the field time after time, making
gains of from five to 20 yards, and in
four inStances-one being for so yards

half. and three in the second Griffith

In the last of the second half, when
Brown had the ball on their opponents
five yard line. Dartmouth used the en-
tire back field to good effect and Brown
lost the only chance to score. After
two plunges into the Brown line Dillon
got the ball on tumble and ran, clear
of danger, So yards before he was
tackled. For Dartmouth, the work of
Knibbs, Vaughan and Bullock was the
feature
Brown used the double pass to some
advantage, and only the brilliant play
ing of Webb, Dennico and Scudger
saved her from a worse defeat. The
quarterback tackle was tried three
times, but it resulted in loss in every
instance. Fully 400 came down with
the Dartmouth squad.

The United States transport Wright,
formerly the Aid, was originally fruiter,
and was presented to the government by
some patriotic women of Boston when the
Spanish war began, to be used as hos
pital ship. Later she was fitted out as
dispatch boat, and was sent to cuba TO
be used by Gen. Wood. More recently
she was sent to the Philippine Islands as
a dispatch boat and store ship. She had
a fine refrigerating plant and store
room which made her of great value IN
the islands The Wright was first called
the Bay State. This was before she was
transformed into hospital ship.
Washington, Nov PA brief dispatch
came to the war department today from
Gen. Chaffee confirming the press report
of the wreck of the transport Wright.
Gen. Chaffees dispatch was very brief
on an uncharted rock and that the
question of the rescue of the vessel was
problematical.

COLUMBIA MADE HIGH
SCORE AGAINST INDIANS

New York. Nov. 2S.-By practically
perfect football today for the first %
minutes of play, Columbias eleven
rolled up their largest score this season
against the Carlisle Indians team. In
that time they scored 40 points, shut
ting out the Indians completely. In the
last five minutes, however, the In
dams developed sudden and unexpected
strength and quickly gained II points
against the now weary Columbia play
ers. making the final score 40 to II in
favor of the blue and white.
Columbia's back field Smith, Ber-
rien and Weekes, were in magnificent
form. and again and again made adj
vances. Morley was in every play and
provided the main interference for the
runners with the ball. Carlisle suf-
fered from lack of weight. About 5000
people were at the Polo Grounds to
witness this last football match of the
season Columbia's supporters were
most in evidence, though there were
many who showed allegiance to the
Indians.
