The play during the last week. prior to
saturday. has been more or less in the
nature OF practice, and In only one case,
that OF Stanford and the University Of Cali
fornia, has II in any way effected the re-
suit Of the championship contests. east and
west. The games were all between teams
OF the first rate and others, which had
already been declared inferior. OF the
eastern teams which arc championship poe
sibilitios. Yale outclassed Bucknell, Har-
ward defeated Pennsylvania in a game. the
feature Of which was the unexpectedly
good stand made by the Quakers, and
Princeton did not play, having called of
It's game.
In the western championship play, Michi-
gan, as was TO be expected. swarmed over
the Iowa goal line. and Chicago, even with
. team largely substitute, found no dim

Further west, Nebraska, a free lance. de.
feRted Kansas, as the dopemekers had
toreseen, but with much less ease than had
been expected. The Pacific coast cham.
pionship Is a narrow contest, the Stanford
and California universities being practice

reason II is fought and followed with par
t~icularly rivalry and enthusiasm.
Speaking Of championships, there is an
other-that OF the Michigan peninsula
which was left undecided on the sth by
the tic game at Escanaba between , the
lshpeming and Escanaba teams. This con-
test is Of no particular Importance, but II
brings out the interesting fact that Ish-
peming Is, probably. the most enthusiastic
foot ball town in the United States. Con-
sidering the size of the little city, the
fifteen elevens playing from that port would
seem to make this assertion no exaggera-
{ion. II is said that there are not enough
vacant lots in the town to accommodate
she teams, which nave to line up in the
streets. The heaviest eleven is heavy. IL
report may be believed. for the average
weight is given at 200 pounds. Before the
game Of Saturday, the good citizens of the
town were said to have $685. 900 to offer on
the result.

The MARTINIQUE HORROR.

II l. bard to find reliable record of
such sweeping d--jru, ton Of human
life ~ that which destroyed the town
of Pierre IN the island of Martinique
and n large area Of surrounding couu-
try.
AS the reports Of the catastrophe
come in more fully, the more horri-
ble it il seen to be
The number OF those who peri-i "a
by tire and flood i now estimated At
10000, aud will probably 20 even
higher.
The destruction Of Htrcuiaueum
aud Pompeij which has been made
the subject of 80 much historical and
romantic literature, di Dot destroy
anything like a. many lives ~ this
disaster, probably not half a. many.
The two cities which were over
whelmed byan eruption Of Mount N,-
suvius were the resort and fashion
able dwelling place Of the rich aud
aristOcratic Roman element Of their
time, and both of them combined
never had as large population a. that
which has been anuihiIated At Mar
Unique.
For an instance Of such an extern
sive calamity As that We must look 10
the great earthquake at Lisbon, some
of the floods of the Yalu river in
China, and the great tidal waves in
Java.
No reach of the Imagination can
make us comprehend what the swift
destruction af forty or fifty thousand
human beings means.
We have a. yet little more than the
bare statement of the incOmpreheT Il.
Die fact tfa full story of the great
tragedy with all its sickening details
shall ever come to Us We will under
stand better its immense import.
But We will probably never have
any such account.
Ii seems that there was complete
and almost instantaneous auuihila-
ton of the doomed town and its peo-
pie.
We will probably have to depend
upon the imagination to draw the ter
rible picture.
Bulwer's thrilling description Of the
eruption of Nesnvius. which buried
two of the most magnificent cities of
the old world and their inhabitants,
is not more completely a product IF
fancy than will be the final story Of
