An attempt was made at the recent
session of the Minnesota NJ E. Confer
ence to deprive the editor of Backbone
of his ministerial standing. In max
ing the motion the leader of the move
ment openly charged that through the
columns of Backbone it's editor had
"maligned the President, slandered the
bishops and traduced the church." or
words to that effect. A lively debate
took place, but it was clear from the
first that there was little sympathy
with the attack. The motion was
overwhelmingly defeated

The President Spends Pleasant
Day at Pennington,


/ HARTFORD, Conn. Oct 22-President
| Roosevelt had day in the country today
and he seemed to enjoy every minute of
| it. He Travelled all Monday night and
! reached Pennington early this morning
| He was met at the station by his sister
Mrs. w. S. Cowles. at whose house he
is visiting. With Mrs. Cowles at the sta
tion were Miss Alice Roosevelt the Presi-
dents daughter, and Mrs. w Bayard
Cutting, of New York, who is Mrs
Cowies' guest. Warden A r. Wadsworth
had large force of deputy sheriffs and
special constables on hand, and in addi-
tion to these were the Secret Service men,
who came with the ~ residential party
from Washington.
The party, including Secretary Cortel-
you, DR.. Rixey, and Commander Cowles,
the President S -brother-in-law, drove to
the COwles home for breakfast Soon
after breakfast the President received
the borough council and the senior bur
CESS, A. A. Redfeld, made an address of
welcome and extended the freedom of the
borough and town. The President re-
turned his thanks. During the morning
the President went on a long drive an
incident of which was the appearance
of the school children of the town, al
dressed in white and lined up before the
Congregational Church, as the party
drove by. The sight was a pretty one,
and the President showed his apprecia-
tion of it.
On the return home the President and
several of the party left the carriages
and walked up the main street to the
house, the President frequently stopping
on the 'ay to shake the hand of some
man or boy in the crowd, who pressed up
near him.
Senator and Mrs. Hawley and Senator
and Mrs. Flatt, of this State, had lunch
con with the President, and in the early
afternoon there was a reception for the
pupils of Miss Porters school for young
ladies. President Roosevelt had declined
to take part in the planting Of the oak
on the village park. but after the school
reception he drove to the scene and
watched the ceremonies as Governor Nc
Lean threw in the first shovelful of earth
From $3.50 TO 5 o'clock there was a recep-
tion for which Mrs. Cowles had issued
about 80 invitations. mostly to Farming
ton people. Governor Mclean took dinner
with the President, being the only guest
outside the Presidential party except
those already In the house.
The evening was passed quietly at the
Cowles house. There was a large crowd
in Pennington throughout the day.

the sophomores. After various trials by
stock and guillotine, onne freshman was
tossed in blanket. The freshman who
occupied the blanket tonight was a

the candidate was put into coffin and

The sixth scene represented the hGrial

BEATEN BY THE VETERANS.
Yale Players Line Up Before the Old
Time Stars.

NEW HAVEN. Oct. 22.-After the Yale
Bates game today a team composed of
former Yale football players defeated
the Yale College team by a score of u to
0. The game was a most remarkable one.
Never before in the history Of football
ut Yale have so many of her stars played
together on one team.
When the veterans went into the field
the entire crowd Of spectators went fairly
wild. AS Walter Camp in a football suit
came into view, followed by Greenway.
Charlie Chadwick, PA" Corbin, Heffel-
finger. Coy, Ely Hall, Thorne. Bliss, But
terworth, and Mcbride, pandemonium
reigned supreme. Hundreds of the bicen-
tennial visitors had gone II the field to
see these old timers. Each and every
man was cheered TO the echo. and the
Yale glad hand" was extended to each,
so to speak.
All three bands on the field struck up
ELI Yale" "Boola," and the like, until
there was not a man or instrument on the
entire field that was not lending himself
or itself to the general celebration.
The halves were ten minutes each.
Walter Camp showed he had lost his
knack at kicking by making a fuke at
the start, the ball going directly into the
arms of Roraback, the centre of the col
lege team From the time of kick-orf
up to the minute time was called. at the
end of the second half. there was no
idleness on the part of anyone. Only two
or three Of the old players stayed through
the entire game, and this kept the fight
ing fast and made the college team do
its utmost.
Perhaps the feature of the game was a
seventy-yard punt by Butterworth, who
clearly showed he had not forgotten the
ifk fer md I.a, ,I..fr,
made the touchdowns and Chamberlain
kicked both goals.

CoMIsKEY's NEW STARS.
White Stockings Manager said to
Have Signed Matthevson

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Christy Matthew
son, the crack pitcher of the New York
National League Club during the last sea-
son, who was in Chicago last night, leav-
ing for the East today, is said to have
signed a contract to pitch next year for
Charley Comiskey's White Stockings. Ae-
cording to the most authentic reports. it
was he whom Griffith went to New York
to bag, instead of Davis, and the only
thing that stands between Comiskcy and
Matthewson now is the question of salary.
And Matthewson is not the only star
Comiskey has signed. practically. for
next year. Tom Hughes, the Orphan
twirler will also be a White Stocking.
and then there are five others besides
Hughes. These are Thomas. of Philadel-
phia, a fielder; Warner. of New York,
catcher; Dahlen, of Brooklyn. who will be
used at short; Hamilton. of Boston. an
other fielder, and Long of Boston, who
will be placed at third base. With this
great aggregation Comiskey will try to
win another championship.

THE TEAM REINFORCED.
Scrub and n Last Years Crack
Strengthen the Eleven.

The Georgetown University football
squad was drilled yesterday afternoon in
signal practice for an hour or more.
Afterward the varsity lined up against
the scrubs for a few minutes The team
showed up well, and Coach Church spen,
considerable time in schooling on both
defensive and offensive play.
When be called the men from the field
the student body was well satisfied that
Georgetown would make a good showing
against any of the teams they are to
meet. Coach Church thinks that by Sat
urday the team will be in the finest pos
sible condition, and will defeat the strong
V. NJ l. eleven. with something to spare.
Owing to some misunderstanding on
the part of last years manager the game
that has been advertised for tomorrow
with Dickinson will not be played. Word
was received last night at the college
that Dickinson Cc;:ld not come.
Drill, the crack end of last years
team, will be seen in practice this after
noon for the first time this season. He
will greatly strengthen the team. Har-
desty was taken from the scrubs and
placed in the varsity line. He played
very strcnE game.

Western High School Eleven Loses
by Score of II to o.

The GEORGETOWN University Props de-
fsated the Western High School eleven
in the first game for the interscholastic
football championship on the Georgetown
field yesterday afternoon by the score of
II to o.
The game was interesting from start
to finish, and every inch of ground was
fiercely contested for. The Westerns were
heavier than the Georgetown boys, but
lacked team practice. During the second
half the latter had little trouble in scor-
ing.
In this half McGalligan scored three
times. The star plays of the day were
made by McGalligan, who went through
his opponents line almost at will and
Kane and Burns also played a strong
game. Walsh hit the line time and again
for good gains. Hoover. Finlay and
Clark made the best plays for the school
eleven.
The Westerns were hardly in as good
physical condition as the ''Preps," and
time was called several times on account
OF injuries sustained by their players.
The teams lined mn as follows.
