The Great Football Game Described by

The Great Football Game Described by
an Interested Texan.
There ARE games OF football. and there is
the Scwpnec Vanderbilt game, which is al
most OF different genus. This Is very evil
dent TO any who have seen either of these
teams play third and then play each other.
Whether II ia their proximity or other
cause, yet for some reason there is and has
been for many years the most intense
rivalry between these two universities: and
cnch year when they meet on the grldiron
or ON the diamond It Is for a battle royal
which Is woged with as much vim amongst
the rooters.
For the past few years the teams have
Mayed about the same standard of football
as the three latest scores show, In 1900
Sewanee won out, 1i-10; In 1901 there was
no score, Vanderbilt being unable 20 snatch

prove that, even with the proposed
reduction of the tariff, the Cuban
planters cannot export their product to
the United States, with profit.
Mr.. Palma figures the actual cost of
producing hundred pounds Of Cuban
sugar, and transporting same to New
York. including freight, marine insur-
ance, wharfage, landing charges and
the duty { under proposed reduction)
at $387. AS the gross market value
in New York is but $3. rs per hundred.

A short-Haired Indian is a Better One.

I'VE slall all now watch with palpitat-
ing interest to see whether an Indian with
his hair cut is any better Indian.'-NA-
TIoNAL TRIBUNE.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is vita
pleasure that we congratulate you on
Withholding your decision in the matter.
1t would have been much better for the
education of the Indian if others had done
likewise. Most opposition is from the
philanthropic, who deal with the subject
from a civilized point OF view. If cleanli-
ness is virtue. then certainly the Indian
with short hair is better than his long
haired brother. From an experience Of
several years in the education of the In
dian have always found the shOrt-haired
Indian much in advance OF the long hair
ed; much more progressive and up to date.
The Moqui Indians have all had their hair
cut, and notwithstanding the barren coun-
try in which they live they are self-sup-
porting. Many other civilizing influences
might be named from teaching the Indian
the advantages of having his hair cut
short.-W. W. EWING. principal teacher,

the Springfield a short-slghted and almost
criminal War Department had sent the
| volunteers to war with were of the same
caliber, 45. After every battle the field
was covered with shells, which the China
men used to pick up and sell to the Fill
pinos, who struggled them out of the city
and into the possession of the insurgents.
At their ammunition factories, maintained
far in the rear of the then fighting line,
these shells were loaded with powder made
by taking some coarse cannon powder they
had been permitted to take after the cap
ture of Cavite and grinding it finer. Lead
bullets were nodded the proper size, and
were fastened into the old cartridge by
hammering the brass shell around its edge.
In some way they secured supply OF
caps for these shells, and were thus en-
abled to keep supplied with ammunition
for their RemingtOns.
1t was known for long time that the
Chinese were engaged in this work, yet
we never received orders to prevent it or
stop the Chinese from going out into the
country in the rear of our lines and load
ing themselves up with whatever they
could find.
On several occasions the soldiers them
selves took plumber away from Chinese,
and administered good trouncing to them
when they discovered empty Springfield
shells amongst it.

The Opening of the Battle of Gettysburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
n. II. Decke. Sth y. Y. Cav, writing from
Lansing, Mich, about the opening of the
battle of Gettysburg is simply barking up
the wrong tree. In what has been said in
history about the first shot fired was the
actual first shot. What he says about the
Sth n. Y. Cav, Sth Ill. Cav, part
of the Sd Ind. Cav. and part Of
the 18th III. Cav. having started the
fight near the Seminary at Z a. IN. refers
to the main action. The first shots were
actually fired from one and a half to two
hours previous to this, and is the historical
incident which has been under discussion.
What | have been writing about is
the firing of the first shot or shots. which
occurred two hours before Mr.. Decke and
his regiment had seen any rebel with
gun.-A. G.. BUELL. CThe CannOneer).
