THR PERPErUAL FAILURE.

If you lack character, downright, genuine honesty and squareness, your college education your superior advan- tages only emphasize or extenuate your real failure, for no man has ever succeeded, no matter how many mil lions of dollars he may have accumu- lated, who has lost his character in the process. If he has left his manhood behind him, if his integrity has es- capped in his long-neaded methods. his shrewd. sharp dealings, in his under handed schemes. his life is a failure. It does not matter what position he has reached or how much money he has made He is miserable failure if he has lost the pearl of his life.

WEATHER WARNINGS.
Untoyvard Conditions Which NTi1itatc Against the Accuracy of the
 Bureau Predictions.

Many persons speak slightingly of the weather predictions because they are sometimes falsifed by the wealth CT which follows them. The predic- tions are, nevertheless, usually cor rect. But in any event, the daily bull letins announcing probable rain or snow are of far less importance than some of the other service of the weather bureau, and represents it's most imperfect work, says Youths Companion.
 . It is more difficult to discern ac- curately the coming of moderate rain, which little affects the public welfare, than to give effective warm ing of a destructive storm or the sweep of a cold wave. It is in noti- flying various interests of the great changes that the weather bureau performs it's best work. Tn the cram berry marshes of Wisconsin the food-gates are usually regulated by the frost signals, and great saving results.
 On account of the peculiar topog. raphy of California, it is possible to give warnings of rain with great ac- curacy, enough in advance to enable the owners of vineyards to gather and stack their trays, and so save from ruin the drying raisins. On the South Atlantic and Gulf coast predictions of frost seem more ac. curate than elsewhere, and have proved of great value to the cane. growers of Louisiana, the truck farmers about Norfolk and the or ange-growers in Florida. To the shipping in all our ports, both ocean and lake, the storm warnings are recognized as of great importance.
 The next great step in weather forecasting should be the discovery of some method by which longer outlook into the future may be ob. tained. Scientific observers do not now profess to be able to tell any thing about the weather more than three or four days ahead. All their study of the records to see if there be not weather curve' by which one can tell whether a mild January was likely to be followed by an ex- tremely cold February or not, have thus far proved unayailing. Specula. tions On such points are largely mat ters of individual opinion. Perhaps nature, like a prudent householder. has determined to keep some secrets inviolable.

POLO NOTES

 Walter Tibbitts won't tend goal for Lowell. Manager Fox expects to get either Mullin or Mallory. Portland will have a home referee, as none of the regular staff will be sent to that city, owing to the ex- lpense.
 Worcester has on its list Young Craig, a Salem amateur who filled in as rush for Cotter several times last season.
 Tom Cotter has signed Frank l Wodtke to captain his Chelsea polo team. Many western teams were af- ter this sterling player.
 'sSpot'' Hadley will be with Rich mond, Ind, the coming season. 1Spot" l is acting as s'scout" for the Western league to secure players.-Lawrence American.
 Portlands uniforms will be black trimmed with white; the collars and cuffs will be white and the stockings black and white. The initial sP" will be woven on the jerseys.
 Portland with it's new team ought 1 to draw we'll The sfans'' of that town have grown tired of seeing Pop"
 Mckay and his bunch representing that city year after year and will well come the change.
 I ssDickey" Pierce, who played with the Springfield polo team two seasons ago, will doubtless be the best rusher I in the business this season, for he has trained down from 190 to 155 pounds. --Springfeld Union.
 1 Chelsea was one of the banner polo towns in the old days and Cotter thinks that interest in the game can be revived. Over POO seats for the opening game have been engaged by Cotter's Waltham friends. Fred Doe parted with his former associates with the best of feeling and assured them they had his best wishes for succeccful future. It is not im- probable that MT Doe may be in the game before the season ends.-Boston ] Herald.
 I Henry Lynch wants to be a polo referee. Henry will find that the waiting list'' extends from Worcester to Boston and back as far as Natick, where Tommy Connolly is holding a commission from the American Polo league officials.
 George Bone, the polo and baseball player, is coaching the Yale baseball l team in it's fall practice work Bone says that O'Brien, a youngster who entered from Andover. will surpass college infielders within a short time. He is shortstop.
 The councilman who said that polo twas nothing better than dog fight" must have been carried away from all cool and-collected thoughts by his en- thusiasm. Such an assertion reflects upon the good judgment of some of LoWells best citizens and their fami- lies, who literally patronized the game a year ago.--LoWell Mail
 The Western league managers are banking on a good many eastern play CTS whom they have no show of land ing. Mullen and Cusick, two goal tenders whom the western people have signed, have offered their services to eastern managers. Unless Daily jumps, which is not likely, the Vest ern league will not, have player wanted in the east.

.poVernment Officials Arrest Pitts-
 bRrg Parties, Charging Fraud.
 SCRANTON. Pa, Oct. 16-Postoffice Inspector Hugh J. German has caused the arrest of the four principal officers of the Alt F. Clark company, which conducts what is known as the Corre- spondence Institute of America, with offices here. The four men arrested were Alt F. Clark, president of the company: Conrad Lotz, vice president and treasurer; Louis Conrad, secretary, and William N. Bingham, general man. ager.
 The warrant upon which they were arrested charges them with using the defrauding.
 It is set forth that the company has for some months been advertising in various periodicals and papers to fur nish free tuition in tue various branch es of study i'll which it gives instruc- ton, the understanding being that the student need not pay until he or she has secured position paying at least SIS a week.
 hC t4lALO1 A41dl1Ol1 dCIlA1C0 lht1L 4s Y . Reddington, of 1903 Mulberry street responded to this advertisement and received notice that before he could take up course of study he would be required to send on $15 for tools and supplies. The money was sent, ac- cording to Inspector Gprman, and the supplies received have an intrinsic val ue .'of not more than dollar" For this reason it is charged that the de- fendants have used the mails to de- fraud. The defendants were held in $1, GOO bail for their appearance at a hearing to be held on Saturday.
 The Clark company employs in it's offices here about thirty persons. It was organized some two years ago. The International Correspondence school which has it's headquarters here has no connection with the Clark company.

General Young Desires Exhibition
 Here of Their Gymnastic Training.
 LONDON, Oct. 16.--General Young has secured the consent of Earl Rob- erts and Mr. Brodrick to plan to send a dozen of the best British noncommis- stoned officers to America in order that they may give an exposition of their gymnastic training as an example of that which is now carried out in the British service. The war office will pay the expenses of the British sol diers. General Young hopes to be able to get the war department at Washing ton to send a dozen American noncom- missioned officers to England so that they may investigate the developments of the setting up drill in it's up to date form as it is practiced in this country. General Young said:
 'sThe gyInnastic exhibition we saw at Aldershot beats anything we have got in the way of smartness. The men who took part in it were noncommissioned officers qualifying as gynnastic in structors It was the finest thing I have ever seen in that line, and feel sure that an interchange of expert eHcSS III CllS DTducu Ol 8ulIlldTy IEdlu- ing will be of mutual benefit to both countries. Earl Roberts received my suggestion with regard to the British soldiers going to the United States and picked out the team to go with the greatest enthusiasm
 General Corbin said his experiences of the British army so far led him to think there was but little difference between the American and British services .'They have their common joys and sorrows, perfections and de- fects,' said the American general, "and in the administration of such a place as Aldershot I found everything much as would at, say, Fort Leavenworth, but the personnel of the enlisted men is vastly different. The men in the British ranks cannot begin 10 compare from the point of view of brains, edu- cation and initiative with the men who compose Americas noncommissioned army"

TOD SLOAN BROKE.

The Once Famous Jockey Has Lost
 All His Winnings.
 Richmond, Ind, Oct 16.-Tod Sloan, the famous jockey, who has ridden victorious horses in more great races than any other man, is said to be lon his uppers." His Indiana friends have received word that his losses this summer have been enormous, and that he will soon begin to draw from the savings he placed in the hands of rel atiyes. Three years ago the little jockey was reputed to be worth over half a million, but since he was ruled off the English turf he has not made single winning. Several weeks ago an establishment which he maintained in New York city was attached for rent and closed up.

At Princeton.

Princeton, Oct 16.-The Tigers de feated the Haverford college eleven yesterday afternoon, 30 to 0. The Princeton men put up the best exhibi- ton they have given thus far The Interference in most instances afforded good protection for the runner, the line men made big holes and the backs went in low and hard, helping each other along in fine style. There was, however, one very objectionable fea- ture in the Tigers work and that was fumbling. It lost the Orange and Black at least two touchdowns. Princeton scored twice in the first half. once after rushing the ball for more than fifty yards and again on a sen sational run of eighty-five yards by Burke Tn the second half Prince ton pushed the visitors around almost at will. Thorn, Haverford's right half Dack. played brilliant defensive game. Twice he picked the Tigers runner out from behind the interfer- ence when there was a clear field ahead Baker, Princeton's new cen ter, showed up well, and Short, at tackle, was strong in advancing the hall

WITH THE HORSES
Oficial Announcement of Withdrawal
 of Jockey Reiff's License.


 Paris, Oct 16.-OfIicial announce ment was made last night of the with drawal by the Jockey club of the II. censes issued to the American jockeys J. Reiff and Milton Henry.
 J. Reiff is at theSNewmarket course in England, having crossed the chan mel to ride Doux Pays, the French candidate for the CesareWitch stakes, run to-day.
 The suspension of both jockeys takes effect tomorrow.
 The Paris newspaper Le Soir of Oc- tober 12 said the licenses of Henry and Reiff were withdrawn as an outcome of very careful investigation made by the detective department, which SC cured proofs that Henry and Reif up on several occasions have unfairly prevented horses that were favorites in the betting from winning races.
 Lexington, Ky, Oct 16-Onward Sil- yer, the great chestnut son of Onward and Sylvan Maid, went two miles over the Kentucky Breeders association track yesterday in 4:295a, breaking the American two mile record of 4:32, made by Green1ander in 1893. Scott Hudson was in the sulky and Onward Silver had a running mate.
 The first mile was reeled off in 2:14 flat, and when Silver began the last quarter with only three minutes and fifty-five seconds consumed excitement was intense. He had scarcely passed under the wire before the record time was posted, and round after round of cheers followed. J. l.. Pruden of Bardstown, Ky, owns the horse.

At Cambridee

Cambridge, Oct 16.-Harvard play ed practically two teams against Wes- leyan yesterday afternoon, the final score being B to 5. In the first half 1t was a slaughter, in which Har- wards first string of men walked through and around and over Wesley an at will. Five touchdowns result ed, from which Barnard kicked as many goals. Marshall also dropped pretty goal from the 25-yard line. and the score. at the end of the first half stood 3 to ,. Tn the second half Harvard had an entire team of substi- tutes, and although they outclassed Wesleyan they were unable to score and were themselves scored on as the result of a. long run by Forbes on a double pass. The first ba1h vvas all that gave any opportunity of judging where the real Harvard team stands. and then it looked as though Harvard had begun to come. Her team work was splendid and the men kept their feet well and played a much faster game than they have at any time thus far this season. Wesleyan, however had very weak team and especially lioht in the line

Omaha, Oct 16.-Three football play
 CTS with broken limbs, one knocked
 senseless, the umpire slugged, knocked
 down and trampled on, and every mem
 Der of both teams with bloody noses or other wounds, is the result of game
 between the University of South Da-
 kota and the Omaha Medical college, l Tuesday on the Omaha grounds. The
 Medics lost the game by score of F to 0. From the kickoff the contest
 developed into a rough and tumble riot for the mastery. It was bone crunching, fesh-bruising, knock-doWn
 game Shortly after the game opened Jungbluth of Omaha knocked Novotny
 senseless with blow from his fist. The South Dakotans chased Jungbluth off the field and sub was put in for each. A few minutes later Olsen of
 Dakota grabbed Peterson by the throat and began stranggling him. Olsen was {. knocked won and walked over.

 was otherwise injured. Hanson of South Dakota had the tibia of his right leg cracked and was taken from the game. Umpire Whittemore re l ceived a left nook on the jaw, but re l covered and finished the game. The blow was given for calling one of the players 1iar Every man suffered so

 I A meeting of the Trinity Interscho-
 lastic football league was held in Hartford yesterday. Manager John Gaffney of the local High school team was present at the meeting. No defin- 1 ite action was taken on the applica-
 tion of the Waterbury High school for |
 admission into the league. This mat
 ter will probably be decided at meet l ing which will be held next week. The public schools of the city will
 be closed tomorrow in order that the
 teachers may attend the annual meet ing of the Teachers association. From the manner in which the can didates of both teams are indulging in
 hard practice, the game between the St Thomas Cadets and Merrimac foot
 ball teams at the Driving park on next Sunday will be great game. 1 The rivalry between the two teams is intense, even more, intense than in
 the season ofs 1900, when the teams were very evenly matched. The Mer- rimaes will have a number of the play CTS of the 1900 team and intend to give the Cadets as big surprise as
 in the first game between the two teams two years ago. Captain Hoff man of the Cadets is confident, how
 ever, that his players will be victori-
 ous, and so is Manager Eaters. The
 game ought to be a crackerjacko

Government Urged to Make strtct@x
 Rules For Yosemite.
 WASHINGTON Oct. 16.-The adop- ton of radical precautionary measures for protection from forest fires is ad- yocated in the annual report of the act ing superintendent of the Yosemite Ma tional park, which has been received at the interior department.
 The report recommends that for this purpose stricter regulations be issued by the department. regarding camp CTS visiting in the park and that fallen and decayed trees and pine needles and other infiammable mate rial in the forests be burned annually and systematically. It is also urged that stringent measures be adopted to prevent the constant trespassing of sheep herders with their destructive bands of sheep on the reservation, as no adequate punishment is now pro- vided for such acts. It is proposed to ask congress to make trespassing in the park a misdemeanor, punishable by q fine or Imprisonment.

Buffalo, Oct 16.-Jim Parr, the Eng fish wrestler, has accepted the chal- 1enge of Charles Leonard, who is ac- counted to be the. best man in New Jersey. the only difficulty in clinching match being the style of falls and one or two other minor conditions that Leonard may ask for. The Britisher will accept any fair conditions. In his challenge the Newark man, who re- gently gave Dan Mcleod one of the hardest tussles in the Scotchman's ca- reer, names Jenkins, Mcleod, Piening, Prof Dwyer, Lundin and Rooney as the men he is anxious to meet. Parr has asked the Jerseyman to send on articles at once.
