APAYING PROPOSITION
Yost has made money fer Ann Arbor
School.

ANN AhBoR, Mich, December S.
Yost is even greater a success as a
money maker at Michigan than as a
coach. There may be some doubt
about the 1903 pionship, but the
present season Is the most successful
in financial way the University ever
had. When all debts have been paid,
Manager Baird says Michigan will
still have between $50, 900 and S25, 900
clear profit.
When the cause to which this money
is applied is considered, there can be
no complaint about calling Yost, with
his high salary, a paying proposition y
To Yost, winning coach, Michigan
owes the possibility of an athletic
held, with many thousand dollars
already put into its improvement,
which will surpass all American ath-
letic grounds except Soldiers field at
Harvard. On all other sports Michi-
gan loses money. Until Yost came
Michigan did not even have respect
able sized "bleacher. y

David Harum Tonight.

When the curtain rises at the thea
tire this evening the audience will get
a view OF little bit of bonneville, N.
Z. One side of the road Is a bank.
and opposite 1t pretty little cottage
with its yerandas covered with old
fashioned vines and its yard filed with
geraniums, sweet William posies and
other flowers. A little Ia the back
ground is big barn and horse
trough. The bank is the one operated
by David Harum; the house belongs
TO Aunt Polly Bixbee, and the barn is
Harum's property. Needless to say
the play is david Harum, drama
tization of the popular book. Much
interest has been taken in the pro-
dlction OF the play and the audience
tonight will doubtless test the ca
pacitY Of the house. The work is in
three acts and all of. the scenes are
laid In bonneville, N. Y. The pro-
ducsion to be made will be the same
as that which ran $50 long in New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia.

GAME IN EAST SCHEDULED.
Michigan VIII Play Harvard or rale-
Why Vest Remained.

Michigan expects next year to play
a game of football with either Harvard
or Yale. This rs a matter of simple
fact, is the sole reason why Coach
Yost has remained with the Universi-
ty OF Michigan another year

is what he said to the Michigan au-
thorities.
Along in the early part of the sea-
son Mr. Yost emphatieally stated this
was his last year with Michigan, and
that he would not take charge OF any
Western team next year under any
circumstances.
AT that time be was seriously con-
sidering the University of Pennsylva-
MIA as the most promising material
with which to accomplish his cherish
ed purpose.
Then suddenly it was announced
that he would remain with the u of
NJ. everybody was pleased, 'of course,
though few knew the reason. 1t was
simply that game with Yale or
Harvard was to be on the schedule,
encouragement to believe so having
been received.

GEOGRAPHY Or LONG AGO.
old Book Discovered In Connecticut to
be shown at Worlds Fair. Reveals

Louisiana Territory.

books and documents, will be found q

territory from which was carved the 4

versaTy of the transfer Of which Is &c
be celebrated with a universal exposi-
| tion costing three or four times the
amount OF SIS, 600, 900 paid fer the
territory 100 years ago.
Here is lesson in geography as it
was taught In the early years OF the
last century from the old text book
that has been diseovered Louisiana
is divided into the state and territory
OF Louisiana The territory is OF
great extent; but its boundaries are SO
indefinite that they cannot be given. /"
The towns are given as New Orleans,
ST. Louis, Arkansas, st. Genevieye,
New Bourbon, and New Madrid. y
The rivers put down as being within
the state are the Mississippi, Red,
Arkansas, White, st. Francis, Mis-
souri, and s'also many Others little
known
1t is added that the Mississippi is
the principal river of Louisiana, and
one Of the two largest in North Amer
lea. 1t rises in the UNEMPLOYED coun-
try northwest of the United States.
1t is generally deep and rapid, and
seldom more than mile wide.
Referring to the country through
which the river passes, the author
IsaystsThe countryin which the Misslp-
pi flows, especially on the west, is a
marsh or swamp of great extent, and
lower than the river itself, except a
narrow strip, sometime a mile or two
wide, which forms a bank and con-
fines the water ia its channel. This
river, 10 its foundations, which are
annual and generally from the first Of
March TO June, rises to the astonish-
ing height Of forty of fifty feet, some
times sixty feet perpendicular, and
delnges the country in many places to
the distance of thirty or forty miles. y
There is also to be found this inter
esting bit Of informstio about New
Orleans: NEW Orleans, the capital of
Louisiana, is situated On the Missis-
sippi about one hundred miles from
the mouth. 1t is place of great and
increasing trade, and from its situa-
tion, will probably become one Of the
most important places in the world

country as the center for musical
honors. The School of Music can
win for itself an enyiable place, as
some of the schools of music which
now are no better than ours have
done.
SHERWOOD TO PLAY HERE MARCH Ia.
Not satisfied with Richard Strauss
Madame Strauss de Anne, Victor
Herbert and the Pittsburg Orches-
ira, as being a combination that
could not be excelled by even New
York, for one half days attraction,
Dean Wrightson wanted still more,
and announces the engagement Of
Mr.. Sherwood to appear here again
this season on March 14th with
these other great artists He will
play on the afternoon program and
also a concerto in the evening with
the Pittsburg Orchestra. What a
glorious number this will be, Sher-
wood and the orchestra, with Herbert
conducting. On that day Herbert
will positively make his last appear
ance as conductor of the orchestra
outside of Pittsburg, and will only
conduct once in that city after that
day, on March 10Th.
Tickets for this great day can
now be secured by orders with cheek
accompanying them sent to Dean
Wrightson. Prices of admission
will be So ticket, which will admit
you TO both afternoon and evening
concerts with reserved seat. Single
admission for either afternoon or
evening will be So.
There will be a great rush tor this
event and purchasers are urged to
send in their orders at once and aot
delay. The entire house must be
sold out and when it is, it is doubt
tul If it will cover expenses. People
should relieve the minds of those
who have the matter in charge by
promptly buying tickets.

The Play That Wont Wear ont.

The sale of seats for the presen-
tation of'David Harum'at Swisher's
Theatre which begins Monday Dec
7th, promises to break great many
local records. THIS deduction is
drawn from the number of inquiries
which have been made regarding
the play. 1t would seem as If every
one who has read the book had de-
clded to see the play taken from be
tween its covers. Consequently the
interest taken in the coming Of this
play is away out OF the ordinary.
The comedy is said to be one of the
greatest successes now before the
public. Since its production it has
been praised as the greatest dramati-
cation made in years, and it repro
duces in a marvellously faithful way
all of the principal scenes, incident
and characters of Wescott's book.

Few "bearn stories have come from
Michigan in the shape of injuries to
foot ball players. This = is because
Trainer Fitzpatrick makes 1t a rule
to keep injuries, no matter how ser
ious, profound secret if possible.
Michigan has sent men into its big
games suffering from bad twists and
strains under tho report of 'eyery man
in perfect condition" When a mans
injury is known, there is an unavoid-
adle temptation for his rivals to make
that particular injury target. Not
since early in the year, for instance,
has Joe Maddox been seen to hurdle
men in his last years style. The
reason is that Maddox went into the
last two big games suffering from two
stiffening injuries.
A UNIoNTowN correspondent writes.
1t is altogether likely that Sunday
funerals in Uniontown will be discon-
tinued. In statement and petition
to the people Of this vicinity signed
by all the Protestant and Catholic
clergymen. as well as the undertakers
of town, it is requested that the
people refrain from arranging fuper-
ais on the Sabbath. The petition
declares that the day is one OF rest
and that the holding of funerals
makes many work, thereby desecra,
ting the holy day. Funerals should
only be held ON Sunday when 1t ii
absolutely necessary to bury the dead
on that day. The action was brought
about BY the Ministerial Association
which has been agitating the move
for some time.

TWO CENTS
ITALIANS MIX.
Sons of Italy Made Things Hum
at Finnello's House.

Serapped Over Cards on Price Of Beer
Story divided into Three Parts
Some Court Proceedings Extracr-
binary.
There was trouble in the Italian
camp last night. The Morgantown
contingent of the European kingdom
was divided against itself, and If it
didn't fall, it was not the fault OF
the two or three who delivered VIC
ious punches at one another.
Cornello Peligi, Nicolo Turf and
some other Italians get their daily
bread at the house of one James
Finnello, the Pleasant street grocer.
Last night they were engaged in
playing casino, when dispute
arose. At this point, the story, like
all Gaul, is divided into three parts
namely the claims of the defendant,
the claims OF the prosecution and
the real facts IN the case.
According to the story of the de-
Tense, Peligi and F'innello got into a
dispute about the price OF some beer.
and light ensued According TO the
prosecution Peligni got into a fight
over the cards, and Finnello tried to
separate the contestants. Just for
that, Peligi assaulted him.
But now enters another parsonage.
This is Nicola Turf. He is Peligi's
friend, and mixed In to help him out.
According to Finnello, he escaped
through the window when the ofiicer
came with the warrant. Search for
him is still being made.
Peligi was arrested ON a warrant
sworn to by Finnello, charging him
with assault and binding him to keep
the peace. A hearing was held be-
fore Squire Shoemaker this morning,
and be was fined $40 and costs. His
attorney, Mr.. THEODORE, made a mo-
tion for new trial and it 10 being
argued this evening.
The prosecution claims that 'Peligi
threatened to do dire deeds:with knife
and gun.

cue.
Albert Sidney Wilkefson, aged %,
pattern maker at the Wagner Palm
ros shops of Fairmont, a member of
Company Fl, W. Y. N. G., and one OF
the most popular boys OF the town,
was drowned in the Monongahela riy-
er while skating just below the upper
loci at Hoult Sunday evening. Ash
ton Fletcher, who was with the par
ty and attempted to rescue his COM
panion, had a narrow escape from
death, as he too broke through the
ice. Wilkerson's body was recovered.
Sunday afternoon Wilkerson, to-
gether with Lieutenant Carskadon
and Ashton Fletcher started to skate
to Morgantown. They reached the
lock at Hoult about o'clock. On
the other side Of the lock they spread
out, Fletcher on the right, Wilkerson
10 the center and Carskadon on the
left. There was about a hundred
yards of very good ice just below the
lock and they were going at "a rate OF
about 2 miles an hour when Wilker-
sou struck thin ice.
He went through, and although
he made desperate effort to get out,
was unsuccessful. Fletcher narrowly
escaped drowning while trying to save
him.
