 Several charges and counter;-charges were made, Lady Helen persisting that shc he allowed to continue

HARVARD IMPROVED
BIG SCORE MADE IN FIRST
 HALF.
Made 35 Points in 20 Minutes, But Changed Team in Second Half. Wesleyan Scores on Trick Plays
 Delayed Pass Doing Work.

Cambridge Mass, Oct. 15.-Harvard's Varsity football team got together in the first half of the Wesleyan game today and covered 35 points in twenty minutes The showing was the best of any that Harvard has made this year. Ih'the sec ond half Harvard put an entirely new team on the field, except Stillman. who was moved from full back to left half. Wesleyan scored in this half after using several trick plays, a delayed pass lead Ing to touchdown. With the exception of Brandon at fullback and Knowlton Tn one of the tackle positions, the Harvard team as 1t started the game was the strongest the coaches could ptu on the field. Ke"1an was back at left half and Andrew Marshall, once of Dartmouth, played left guard. For the first time liar yard depanted from straight rushing game by her backs and tried several for nations Williams was taken back from tackle and used to advance the ball and Jones was brought from the end for the same purpose. In using an end, new play was brought into use by Harvard, for it has been customary to bring in the other tackle to alternate the advance. Harvard still had tendency to be off side in both halves, but there was an ab- sence of fumbling. In the first half the backs circled Wesleyan's ends almost at will for long gains and had no trouble in breaking through the opposing line at any point. All of Harvards scoring was done in this half. Marshall, the quarter back, dropped goal from the field from Wesleyanjs twenty -three-yard line. He also made an eighty-yard run from the kickoff I nthe second half Wesleyan used its trick plays successfully, Forbes, who had the ball, after a delayed pass. making a run from the center of the field to Harvard's ten-yard line. where he was tackled by Daly. Epsy from here tried a drop kick for goal but was block ed. Van Surdan got the ball and ran to Harvard's one-yard line and from hero Forbes scored through center. Wesleyan failed to kick a goal.

Glass Too Much for Vermont.

New Haven, Conn. Oct. 15.-The Yale football eleven defeated the University of Vermont eleven today by the score of S2 to 0. The play was one-sdCd. The rec ord of the Vermont eleven in recently holding down Brown in a 10 to game gavs them prestige which they failed to uphold. Yale pushed them out and down the gridirOn at will and scored four tuochdowns in the first half and two in the second. Until they retired from the game the Yale center trio. Holt, Glass and Goss, were in every play strongly. Glass alone many times broke up tn weak attempts of the Vermonters to buck the line and to run the ends. They Were the weakest team Yale has met. Yale played a substitute team in the short second half.

Going to Germany.

Berlin, Oct 14-General Botha has tele- graphed to the reception committee that the Boer Generals will arrive here Thurs day but as their presence Is necessary in England, they must leave Berlin Satur- day Ire Government is discouraglng the Boer reception committee in various ways. The police will not permit the proposed procession to pass through the Braden- burger gate, doubtless because it Is near the British embassy.
 The bill posters who nave the monopoly of the city's advertising on the pillars, have broken their contract and refuse to put up any more placards advertising the reception of the Boers. It is intimated that the reason for this action is that they received a secret hint from the police to cease advertising the entertainmlent.
 The Government seems determir&d to prevent the slightest demonstration that might be construed as offensive to Great Britain.

 VuorLinu hu Iulv


 New York, Oct. 15.-George G. Ward Vice President and General Manager of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company, speak in reference to a proposed subma- rine cable from Honolulu to Tanning 1s- land, said:
 "There is no truth whatever in this re- port, so far as we are concerned. We have not made any contract nor come to any agreement with anybody in re- gard to a cable from Honolulu to Fan ming Island. I would also say that there is no basis for the report that we do not intend to complete our line clear through to Manila, but that we intend to stop at Honolulu. I have repeatedly stated. and I again state, that he contract for the entire cable to Manila has been let and the portion from San Francisco to Hon. olulu will be in operation by January l. The sections from Honolulu to Manila are now being manufactured and the en- tire cable from San Francisco to Manila. we believe, will be in operation by next July.

 ONLY REAL DAUGHTER.

The notice made in yesterdays Adver- tiser of the picture of Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, which was found in a rubbish corner by Mir. Edgar c. Andrew, brings to mind that not only was he one of Ala bama's most prominent men. but mar ried into one of the most remarkable fam lilies of the South. His wife was Miss Susan Elizabeth Fillmore, daughter of John Archer Elmore, a soldier of the revolu- tionary war who entered the ranks early in the struggle and was with General Greene in his retreat through the Caro- linas, and at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
 A sister of Mrs. Dixon H. Lewis. Mrs. Ann Henrietta Hearne, lives in Mont gomery with her nephew. MT. Frank FL more. She Is the only Real Daughter of the American Revolution belonging to the Peter Forney Chapter D. A. R. of Montgomery. She has the gold spoon which the National D. A R. presents to all Real Daughters who make applica- tion for 1t, and who can prove their claims to the distinction of being the daughter of soldier of the Revolution ary War.
 This spoon has engraved on the beauti- fully embossed handle, woman at flax wheel. On the reverse side are the ini- tlalS or the owner anu ou lhS poAheco shaped bowl Is written Presented by the National Society D. A. R"

One of their sisters was the wife of the late Goverror Benjamin Fitzpatrick of Alabama, and a brother of Hon. Franklin Harper Elmore was ap- pointed to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the death of John c. Calhoun.
