much to our defense on their regular for

on straight football Their tricks were
very clever; those same tricks, however,
show how green our men were. Ivison

have been on that end, and Michigan men
would never have gotten by him on those
tricks. Maxwell was as strong a. defensive
player as Chicago had, and his loss was
very hard on us-really much more than
we now appreciate. The men had been
coached on those trick plays, and should
have sized them up. Chicago's offense
was about as good as expected it would
be, and I think Bezdek and Sheldon play

football When men held them early
in the first half, down to only a few feet

work during the game. 1t hard luck

EATING HOUSE COMBINE.
Plan to Purchase Supplies from the
Outside Markets

Denver. Nov. H.-January may find all
the restaurants in Denver in a pool to
buy all their supplies by the carloads
from the large market centers outside the
city. A plan is now being considered by
the Denver Restaurant Keepers associa-
ton to this end, and definite action will
DE taken within the next thirty days, ac-
cording to a prominent member of the
association
At present the restaurants are pur-
chasing their supplies from local whole
salers and retailers at satisfactory figures.
But the large and small merchants on
Market street have combined for self
protection and to regulate their business.
While this combination has declared that
no raise in prices will be made, for some
reason there is suspicion among the res
taurant keepers, and so strong has that
suspicion become that the restaurant as
sociation has quietly formulated a plan
whereby they can protect themselves
against the merchants combination,
should the latter seek to inaugurate a
higher scale of prices. The Market street
houses will put their new agreement into
effect December /.
Vice President Matt w. Seaman of the
Restaurant Keepers Protective associa-
parture of the head of the organization
H. D. Tudor, is acting president, said to-
day that the association has the matter
of the pool under consideration, but no
definite action mas yet Deen tdkeH I1o
intimated that the members of the body
were unable yet to figure out the exact
policy of the Market street merchants
combination, and favored plan that
could be used as a checkmate, should the
contingency arise Seaman further stated
that at present everything was satisfac-
tory between the restaurant men and tho
wholesalers and retailers as to prices, but
he was not able to anticipate the exact
markets after December L
I'VE all believe in patronizing home in
dustries," continued Mr.. Seaman, but If
there should come an increase in the
prices of supplies to we must suffer
unless some way of protecting our in
terests has been made We have had
trouble only once-a year and a half ago
when We could not agree on the price of
potatoes. The Gordian knot cut by
the association when it went outside of
the Denver market and bought several
carloads of spuds. There is not the least
doubt that We could better ourselves by
purchasing our supplies outside of Den
yer by the carloads. AS great a saving
as 10 or more per cent would accrue from
such policy. Chicago restaurants have
or are about to consolidate with this
same idea of buying everything in bulk.
But we all believe. 1 said, in home
markets. We get trade here and
shall continue our policy long as the
houses here will pursue the plan of live
and let live"

PASSING OF VETERANS.
Few Army officers With Civil War
Records Still in Service.

Washington, Nov. 17.-No small SEN
sation was created among army veter-
ans in the war department by an event
which has heretofore escaped attention.
On a casual examination of the new
army register it was accidentally dis
covered that there is now one regiment
in the United States army without an
officer in it who participated in the Civil
war, either as officer or enlisted man.
1t is the first break of the kind since
1861
The Twelfth cavalry has been the first
to clear its roster of the men of forty
years ago. Promotions and retirements
last year caused the transfer of Lieut..
Col. Godfrey from the Twelfth to the
Ninth cavalry as colonel, and Col ]. M.
Whelan, its colonel, was retired on De-
cember last by operation of the law
for age. They were the last two Civil
war veterans in the regiment. 1t hap
pened that both. in the order of senior
ity, were succeeded by officers who en-
tered the army after the war was over
No recent event has more strikingly
emphasized the passing of the Civil war
veteran. Doubtless it is a matter of in
terest and satisfaction to the hundreds
of officers who came after who have
long been handicapped by the great
names of the Civil war
The discovery led to the further one
that there are now remaining no more
than IFS veterans of the rebellion on the
active list in the whole military estab-
lishment, staff and line Within a year
or two there will be a dozen to twenty
regiments without single representa-
tive.
Out of the $50 officers of all grades re-
quired by the fifteen cavalry regiments,
only twentyfour have Civil war rec
crds. Precisely half the number are
colonies. In six of the regiments there
is only one each, two of whom are ma
jors. The schedule of retirement dates
shows that within a few months more
than half of the regular cavalry regi-
ments will have dropped their last Of
ficer with a record as far back as
1876.
In every one of the thirty infantry
regiments there is still one or more who
bore arms in some capacity in the Civil
war. But there is only a single repre-
sentative each in twelve of them, eleven
retiring age.
Out of the aggregate of 1,500 officers in
these thirty infantry regiments only 40
appear to have been soldiers of the Civil
war. OF their total of go majors only
nine remain who entered the service,
regular or volunteer, prior to the sur
render of Gen. Lee. But of the 30 lieu
tenant colcnels, IS date back to 1861
1865 while every one of the colonies of
infantry were Civil war soldiers. By
reason of promotion by seniority up to
the grade of colonel the old fellows are
necessarily found at the top.
Out of a total of $40 captains of the
line infantry. artillery and cavalry,
only one has Civil war record, Capt.
Eaton A. Edwards, Twenty fifth infan-
try He served nearly three years as
priva te in the Tenth Connecticut volun-
teer infantry

NO DIVIDING WITH JEFF.
The Big Champion Willing to Meet
Anybody for All the Money.

San Francisco, Nov. 17.-Without let
ting anybody know that he was coming
north, Champion Jim Jeffries dropped
in on Billy Delaney's place in Oakland
direct from Los Angeles.
4 am ready to do business said Jim,
who was looking as we'll as he ever did.
THE man who will make me the best
inducements I'll fight. Though I am
not matched with Corbett, 1 would just
as soon fight him as anybody. Bul
I want to say that there can be no
splitting of purse with me. The match
must be made in public for 1 want the
public to know on just what terms 1
fight, and I can't stand for any more
bandages. A fighter who can't fight
without tying his hands up in hard
bandages cannot do business with me
and that is all there is to it I have no
preferences. Ccrbett, Rubin, Sharkey
and Mccoy all look alike to me. The
one I can make the best terms with I'll

Jeffries remarked that he had given
a great deal of his time to fishing and
hunting and he felt that his vacation
had benefited him immensely
