A SOCIETY EVENT.
FOOTBALL BETWEEN ARMY
 AND NAVY.
President and Mrs. Cleveland, Miss Roosevelt and Other Dignataries Incidentally West Point Won, Daly's Bad Judgment Let
 ting Middies Score.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-In the fourth contest in Franklin Field between the football elevens representing the army and navy today the young tars were beat en by the land lubbers by the score or 9 to 8.
 The first half ended with the score 10 to 8 in favor of the West Point lads. West Point had made two touchdowns, neither of which resulted in goal while Annapolis scored touchdown on sen- sational run of 62 yeards by strassbur- ger and forced Daly of West Point back of his own goal line for a safety. In the second half West Points goal was never in danger and the army duplicated its performance in the first half and kicked both goals.
 As a football contest the game was mediocre but as a society event 1t was a success. There were distinguished guests from both fighting departments of the government and prominent citizens from nearly every section of the United States. Former President and Mrs. Cleveland oc- cupied a box on the army side and close to them sat Miss Alice. Roosevelt. The box occupied by Miss Roosevelt was directly in front of the section occupied by the West Point cadets. Her sym pathies were plainly with the army boys. but perchance as a balm for the navy lads she was becomingly attired in a navy blue gown. The President and Sec retary of War Root were detained in Washington. Assistant Secretary of War Sanger looked after the Washington guests. In a box close to the occupied by Miss Roosevelt were Major Generals Young and Chaffee and Adjutant Gen. eral Corbin. They were the guests of Clement A. Griscom of this city. Gen. eral John c. Bates, commander of the Department of the Missouri also occupied box.
 Between the halves Miss Roosevelt held an impromptu reception and shook hands with many friends. A great crowd con- gregated in front of the box anxious to catch a glimpse of the daughter of the nations chief executive

The CitizenS Leaxua.

There was an evident relief in many circles this morning when it became generally known that the Citizens League had. drought its President, Hon. John E. Mitchell. at the meeting of the night before. declared that the body was not of a political nature and had no candi- dats or candidates to offer in the forth coming municipal primary. Prior to the meeting of the League there was a ru- nor extant in certain circles that, in event a candidate for the mayoralty was spoken of. the Progressive Union would lsunch forth a certain prominent man for the office. The man named has legion of friends in Mobile and 1t is indisputable that, were he named. there would be many sleepless nights before the already declared candidates.

Mobile, Nov. 29.-(Special. )-Some days ago mention was made in The Advertiser of depredations on the oyster beds in Ala bama waters by pirates from Mississippi and Louisiana ports and the urgent neces- sity for laws for protection of the bivalves and as well as to make them source of revenue to the State, as Is the condition in the State named further evidence of the necessity for such legis- lation was brought strongly to your cor respondent yesterday while on the oyster docks Three luggers came into port from Alabama reefs, each having a fuii cargo of oysters, none of which was suit- ed for marketin gand all of which should have been thrown into their former rest ing places where they might grow and in a few months be of merchantabie size. There is no question but the oyster in dustry of this section should be protected and made a source of revenue as well to the State The revenue to the State
 would work but little hardship on the con- sumers In that 1t would hardly be neces- sary to increase the price for oysters more
 than or 6 cents per hundred. The more
 ment looking to legislation in this direc-
 ton is growing rapidly.
 The General Council of this city is call ed to meet in extra session Tuesday even- ing at o'clock for the purpose of receiv-
 ing and acting on a report from a special committee looking to the devising of means for refunding the old city debt, which amounts to something over two million dollars. While the debt, in it's entirety, will not become due until some three years hence the law makes it inn perativeF on the General Council, in view of the fact that the next General Assem- bly will, on adjournment of the session, | be in vacation for four years, to present to the Governor, not later than thirty
 days prior to the converting of the As | sembly, a bill looking to protection of the | debt. This bill, after being inspected by | the chief executive, goes to the General Assembly for action. The refunding of
 the city debt figured very prominently in the recent Democratic primary and was subject of much discussion in that. | through existing conditions the city is burdened through extra officials whose
 duty 1t is to look after arrearages and the debt proper.

FEAR OF A CAVIARE FAMINE,
America Now Supplies the World With
Sturgeon.
From the New York Evening Post.

l. rom the New YORK Evening ROSt.
The time is said to be not far off when
caviare will be expensive canvas
back duck or diamond-back terrapin
Though supposed to be foreign delicacy,
it is almost exclusively American. At one
time all the caviare in the market was of
European origin. European waters have
been nearly fished out of sturgeon. how
manufacturers who have a practical mo-
nopoly of the finished product rely upon the
United States for the sturgeon eggs out
of which the finished delicacy is made. The
same process of extinction is going on in
this country at a very rapid rate, and thus
far no steps have been taken by either the
national or the state governments to regu-
late the industry. At the present time the
three centers of sturgeon catching are the
Delaware river, the great lakes and the
Columbia river. A limited number are
caught in Puget sound, and, according to
ship captains, there is still vast and I'M
touched supply in the waters of southern
Alaska. The waterways which run from
Vancouver northward along British Column
bia are another field of considerable prom
Use.
But the first quality and the one which
all epicures prefer comes from the Della
ware That Of the great lakes is inferior in
flavor. while the Pacific article is altogether
too rank and coarse for the most refined
palate. 1t was the latter which was de-
seribed by an Irishman as shad-roe dress
ed in codliver oil. Up to the present CELL
fury there were many sturgeon in the Hud-
son and Connecticut. in New London and
Narragansett bays, as well as Long Island
sound. but the number has grown steadily
smaller. and today is scarcely worthy of
consideration.

Coke and Gas for Fuel.
he New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The two most available substitutes for
anthracite. when the latter is held at fancy
prices, are petroleum. which emits no
smoke. and soft coal, which can also be
made to behave in the same inoffensiVe
manner IL properly managed. The list of
smokeless fuels may. however. be enlarged
slightly. Neither coke nor gas defiles the
atmosphere with SCOT or visible fumes. For
household use, and in the summer time. gas
Is the better of the two. because IL supplies
a fire for necessary cooking al a moment
notice, and need not be kept going longer
than is absolutely required. Little heat is
impaired to the surrounding air by a gas
range, and the matter involves no waste OF
fuel. In some parts of the country coke is
burned in the household. too. in whit er.
Ii has also been employed on A limited
scale, but with satisfaction. on the locomo-
tives of one of the railway lines running
out of Boston.
1t must be borne in mind. though. that
there are several varieties of coke. the diff
ferences between them depending somewhat
on the quality of the coal out of which they
are prepared, but much more upon the
methods Of manufacture.

London's Fire Traps.

From the Lancet.
We are sure that IL a practical inquiry
were generally made in the buildings of
London for protection against fire an ap-
palling conclusion would be reached. Sew
eral lives have been lost recently In London
fires because there was no way Of escape
London is undoubtedly swarming on all
sides with death-traps only ready to claim
their victims when a fire has broken OUT.
Every one is awaresof the difficulties which
have to be faced vfhen the question of the
efficient protectionaof life shut up IN build
ings in a congested area is approached
In probably the majority Of buildings In
London it is impossible even to escape to
the roof and thence to gain a safe refuge
on the adjoining premises. We know a.
least Of one instance. that of well-known
bank premises, in which the boundaries
of the property are marked on the roof by
ugly spiked fences. While IL is true tina [
even this way of escape is not easy, Ii is
certain that in a greater number of in
stances no such thing as a fire ladder is
available.

Bowlegs Increasing.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.


"Bowlegs are certainly on the increase"
said a well-known tailor, land while 1t
makes no particular difference in my line
of business we cannot help from noticing
1t. What special reason is to be assigned
for the increase in bowlegs is question
am not prepared to answer. But really it
does not require the experience of tailor
10 establish the fact that bowlegs are more
common now than ever before. OF course,
the tailor, because of the measurements he
Is required to make. may notice things of
this sort more readily. than the men who
are engaged in other walks Of life
1--WE have to measure a mans legs when
an order for a suit of clothes is left, and
we naturally notice the size and shape of
the legs. Some time ago my attention
was directed to the matter by man whose
legs were just a little above the average
when it comes to crookedness of this kind
I made up my mind that would conduct a
little study along this line. The results
have surprised me. l have found that but
very few men have straight legs-that is,
legs that are normally straight. The sur
prising fact about the matter is that in
majority Of instances billiard ball may
be dropped between the calves of the legs
Knock knees are not uncommon but this
af1iction, il it may be called such, is,
imagine, very largely q matter Of Inherit
ance.'
