At Cambridge.

Cambridge, Oct 12.--Haryard was defea1ed by Amherst, 5 to o, at Cam- ibritlre Saturday It was the first time the crimson has ever been defea,t- ed on Soldiers field at football. The eleven was clearly outplayed in the seoonn half of the game and beaten fairly. To be sure, Amhersfs score was in the mature of a fluke, but that duke was enough to win. In the nrsr half Umpire Herbert Holton gave a decision which. it is contended, de- prived Harvard of "a touchdown. liar ward had the ball on2the three-yard line and carried it over. In the pay, Chase, Amherst's left end, got off side, purposely, some believe, so that if Harvard carried the ball over the goal line Harvard would receive half the distance and have to rush over. The man was seen off side, and Umpire Holton blew his whistle. He called the ball back and made Harvard take half the distance to the goal line. The Amherst captain insisted on the pen alty being inflicted against 1nis team.
 There was dispute, and when the officials could not find the rule which covered the point. Acting Captain BowditcIh of Harvard, rather than have the men stand around in the cold, ad- mitted the penalty. On the next play Hurley funbled while going across the goal line. The score: Amherst 5, Har- yard o. ..r,

Plan to Make Fort Monroe an Island

Plan to Make Fort Monroe am Island.
 With view to making extensive inn provements to the military reservation at Fort Monroe, Va, the government has purchased forty lots between the fort and Buckroe Beach and has also condemned about 200 feet of land owned by Major McGinnis of the ar- my, who refused to sell it to the gov- ernnent. It is proposed to cut a canal across the peninsula which connects the reservation with the mainland, the effect of which will be to make an is- land of the reservation. Various inn proyements are contemplated, includ- ing the establishment of signal sta- ton for range finding.

 Chicago, Got 12.--Buddy Ryan scored a win over Otto Sieloff Saturday night tat the Chicago Athletic association by about as marrow a margin as victor ever had over vanquished Six rounds were fought, five of which were in fa- vor of Sieloff, while one was wholly Ryan's. That is to say, the lead gained by Ryan in the one lone round to his credit was such as to give him the better of the fight. Sieloff ap-. peared drawn and mot at all up to his rugged self.
 Bob FHtzsinlmons had his talking Jacks aboard yesterday. He said he was averse to letting fighter stay any longer than was necessary to put him out. Said Bob:
 'tHow can tell what round oe a fight will win in? don't know that myself. When I started might have let fight drag little, but I have gotten all over tlhat nowadays. just go in to finnish it as quickly as can comfortably
 "The only man I ever stalled off in. my life, letting him stay when could have knocked him out any time want All +n T0o%o NTa1 T+ we fought at New Orleans. Just to oblige a frtend of mine in the club, who wanted to see fight, let Maher stay awhile, when, could have finished him any time I wanted to after about three rounds.
 But that is q dangerous game. That is bhe nlistake Jeff made when he let Mun1oe stay. Look at the things the papers said about him then. It doesn't pay to let them stay I don't do it myself What is the use of losing reputation that way?
 When you can win, go in and do 1t; that's my motto. That's the way I did with Ruhlin and Sharkey, and all the rest of them'

NEW ENGINE COMING
1000 Gallons of Water per Minute and
 Will Require Three Horses.

1000 Gallons of Water per Minute and
 Will Require Three Horses.
 The fire engine purchased by the board of fire commissioners some time ago from the American Engine com pany of Seneca Falls. N. Y, is expected here in week or ten days, and is to be assigned to steamer No. 4's house. The machine, which is known as first class engine. is a very heavy affair, weighing in the neighborhood of $500 pounds, and will necessitate having three horses to pull it. It is practically with a few minor Improvements an exact counterpart of the engine now in use at steamer No. 7s house. The ma chine is capable of throwing 1000 gall Ions of water per minute and will be subjected to very severe test. prob ably on the upper gree in front of the city hall on it's arrival here before being accepted by the city. Three very finely matched horses have recently been pur- chased by the fire commissioners in an- ticipation of the arrival of the new fire engine and men have been assigned to put the new horses through the fire drill and prepare them for their new duties. The drill is being held at steamer No. T's house every afternoon. The horses, which are very intelligent animals, are becoming already very proficient in re- spending to the fire gong, taking their places with alacrity under the harness and have proved very apt students. Driver Augustus Longstean, who has been assigned to drive the three horses, feels very proud of his charges, and thinks when they are put to the actual test on permanent duty at No. As house they will not be found wanting.
 It was thought best to put the new apparatus at steamer No. As house, as that company is located in the heart of the manufacturing district, where a much larger engine has been impera- tive. 4 lighter engine and just as effec- tive for the district to be covered will be, installed in the new engine company No Il to be which will be located in the Fourth ward. The location of the house has not yet been selected, but will prob- ably be located in the vicinity of How ard avenue and Lamberton street,
 Chaplain Charles H. O'Neill and his fire fighters at steamer No. As house expect to give good account of them- selves with the new machine at the next large conflagration, after the new | engine is installed and equipped with the three horse hitch. The house has been recently altered to conform with the new order of things, and the men await the coming of the new equipment | with much pleasure

while the older residents of America,
 and especially of New York and Bos-
 ton, prefer the oolongs. The varia-
 tions in soil and temperature under
 which the different teas are grown
 produce the radically different flavors
 so dear to the true tea lover and so in applicable to the uninitiated. The
 North China Congous, for instance, are
 sub-divided into fifty districts, the
 leaves from each having flavor differ
 ing as distinctly from the others as
 does the Bartlett pear from the Seckel,
 and of each variety there are half a
 dozen or more, different varieties. The spring, early and late summer and the
 autumn. gatherings all have different
 fiavors which the expert can distin-
 guish blind-folded.
 "A standard of merit in tea is under present legislation set by a board of experts appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. This board deposits in the custom houses of New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc, samples con | forming to these standards of all teas I imported. Duplicate samples are sup piled to all importers and dealers, and they are required to submit samples of all their goods, swearing that such samples represent the true quality of
 each and every part of their invoice Such legislation was not necessary I in the days when the tea importers were the merchant princes of New York. But for the last half century there has been steadily increasing de- pression in the tea trade. directly traceable to the widespread deteriora- tion of the commercial article. Out of sixty-five old houses in New York in 1 1865 only five or six were in existence

SOME FACTS ABOUT TEA.

Few Women Make 1t Properly-There
 is Only One Way to Do It.
 American consumption of tea is still as low as pound per capita per an- mum, while in Canada it is four pounds, in England six and in Australia sev- en-" said an expert in discussing the subject the other day. "There, you see, they try to out-English the English. So far as the average housewife is concerned, she simply knows that she likes this brand or that, black tea or green, and in the matter of making she is doubtless as ignorant. Now, the fact is that of the so-called black tea alone there are at least five hundred varieties, with as many flavors as are known to the most luxurious flower garden, The greens and Japans might each be sub-divided into like num- Der. One of the black teas, the so- called English breakfast, a name un- known incidentally in either China or England, is really the Congou, of which alone there are at least two hum dred different tlavors and grades. Oth- CT varieties of black tea are the Oo- longs from Foochow and the Island of Formosa and the Ceylons and Indias. All these are sold as black tea but there is as much difference in taste be- tween an Oolong and a Congou as be- tween coffee and chocolate, or whiskey and claret. The Congou, Ceylon and India are fermented in their prepara- tion or allowed to stew their oWr juice so to speak, which gives them a heavy, malty flavor. The Oolong is prepared like green tea. without fer. mentation, and is fired almost immedi- ately after picking, giving it brght toas!y character, which results in 5 light-colored infusion. They are equal. ly good, despite their differences. -
 As a rule the English, Irish anc their, descendants drink the Congous

Early Mornss,s Fire.

Shortly before 8, o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was sounded from box 71. Some woodwork in the cellar of 255 Grand avenue caught fire, and the smoke filling the rooms awakened the inmates. Starter Quinn of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad, rung the box and the department quickly extin- guished the blaze, but slight damage being done. The house is owned by Gar rett Rowan. a shoemaker. George T. Boucher, a mailing clerk, lives on the second floor and John J. Flynn, troll ley conductor on the third floor. There is candy store on the first floor, which is kept by Mrs Rowan. It is thought that one of the children went down in the cellar to the bath room with a lighted match and in this way set fire to the woodwork.

in the United States, man who has been spoken of too frequently and too favorably for it to be necessary for me to say more tnan-here is Booker T. Washington"
 Mir. Washington said in part: ''The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Insti- tute at Tuskegee, Ala. is the outgrowth of the efforts of General $. C. Armstrong of the Hampton Institute in Virginia. General Armstrong was one of the great seers and prophets who realized that the task of the nation was not fulfilled when the shackles of physical slavery were struck from the limbs of the missions of slaves of the south. He realized that nine millions Of human beings Steeped in ignorance, minus experience, could be but half free. He foresaw that the nation must have a new birth and new freedom and that that regeneration must include the industrial, intellectual and moral and religious freedom of the ex-slaves. Further in refusing to re- turn to his comfortable northern home after the surrender of AppomattaX and in deciding to remain south to help ill fighting for freedom in the large and higher sence General Armstrong appre- ciated as few Americans have, that the north owed an untitled duty to the south.
 General Armstrong said by word and action that it was unjust to leave the south with its industrial system disor- ganized and overturned in the midst of poverty that forbade the proper educa- ton of the white youth-to say nothing of the millions of recently emancipated black children.
 Tn this connection am glad that we have another great American and Christian statesman in the person of Hon. Grover Cleveland, who is mani- festing by his presence and words here this evening that he, too, is conscious of the fact that the lifting up of the negro is not alone Tuskegee's problem, not alone the negro's concern, not alone the souths duty, but is the problem of the nation, because the whole people were responsible for the introduction and perpetration of American slavery. In behalf of our struggling race I want to thank you, MT. Cleveland, for your deep interest and to say to you that because of your interest and faith in us we shall see to it that the nation is not disap- pointed in our progress nor in our use fulness.'

SLAVES TWENTY MILES IN HIS
 LIFE.

A Mans Razor Travels Over His Face
 Two Thousand Feet Year.
 If when you meet your mustache- adorned friend you tell him he slaves five feet eight inches day, or over two-fifths of mile year, he will probably accuse you of romancing, but such is the fact.
 The distance man slaves in an av- craze lifetime, or the distance his ra- zor travels over his face, will be sur-
 prise to most people. It, of course, differs to a more or less extent with each individual, first, on account of personal taste, which determines whether a man wears partial or full whiskers with or without a mustache, mustache alone, full beard with shaw en upper lip, chin beard with or without a mustache, or is altogether clean shaven.
 Second, it differs to a fractional ex- tent for the following reasons: The measurement of the faces of two indi- viduals is never exactly alike. The texture of peoples skins and the strength of the growth of hair on, the face differ just as widely, and it is the tenderness or stoutness of the skin and
 the strength or weakness of the growth of hair that decide how many times a man passes razor over his face. | In the same individual the condition of the skin and the growth of the hair vary not only with the health of the in-
 dividual, but with the temperature of
 the atmosphere, hair on the face grow ing much more rapidly and stronger in I warm weather than in cold.
 | So on all counts, in order to arrive at | the distance a man slaves in a life 1 time, it is necessary to make certain
 averages, and, seeing the number of | men who wear full boards and the number who are clean shaven, we may ! take as an example of the average man i the one who only wears mustache. But there is the average fair man ! and the average dark man, and it is {, necessary to discriminate between the i two, for the reason that the dark man
