New York. Feb. 15.-Nine members of
the senior and junior classes at Yale,
who came here Saturday to play whist
against Columbia, had a more lively
time than they expected before they
finally caught the midnight train for
New Haven. They We're chased up

was all because they wanted to go home
on the II o'clock train and started for
1t so near the hour that it was case
of sprint or lose. They missed. After
defeating Columbia in the afternoon
they continued playing whist in the
evening at the Victoria hotel and were
SO interested that they did not notice
the time until 10:45. They got into
their overcoats in a jiffy and dashed
pell-mell down the stairs. The last of
them had his overcoat tucked under his
arm, and it looked as if he was con-
cealing something. The proprietor of
the Victoria was sure his house was
being robbed and shouted after the
fleeing students. The porter took up
the cry and started after them. Others
fell into his wake and gave volume to
the shouting.
Finally a patrolman came along,
drew his revolver and began shooting
in the air. Then, and not until then,
did the card players stop. The porter
and the policeman rounded them up
and led them back to the hotel. 1t took
but a minute to explain and there was
no end of apologies. Meantime, how
ever, the ii o'clock express was whist

Declaration of Independence.

On July 0, 1776, Gen. Washington
drew up his little army in New York in
what is now the City Hall Park-then
the Commons-where the brigades were
formed in hollow squares ut what is now
the Park Row side and fronting where
stands the site of the Franklin statue.
A copy of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, signed in Philadelphia, had just
reached New York City and 1t was to be
read to the Continentals.
Washington was on horseback in the
center of the brigade squares, where, mt
@ p. m. on delightful summer evening,
the Declaration was read to the troops,
"a large fringe of the populace standing
in the rear toward Broadway. Abide
Camp Samuel Webb, the grandfather of
Maj. Gen. Alexander +. Webb, now pres
ident Of our City College, read the docl-
ment in ringing voice.
In the evening many inclpient Sons
of Liberty who had listened to the read
ing made an impromptu expedition to
Bowling Green in order to vent their
pent-up Indignation upon the equestrian
statue Of gilded lead that had been erect
ed half a dozen years previously in honor
of George III. A few of the Continental
soldiers, who were afterward reprimand-
ed. aided in pulling the statue from its
pedestal. Eventually 1t was cast into
$4,000 bullets, and, as melted majesty"
was fred at the Kings troops in the bat
ties that soon followed at Long Island,
Harlem, Knights Bridge and White
Plains The pedestal itself during half
century served ms doorstep for the
Van Worst family in Jersey City.
The occupation by the British of New
York City from 1T77 to 1873 prevented
any other reading Of the Declaration un-
til July 4, 1854. when 1t was read again

tried theories however, we continue

there is no longer any excuse for our
perversity of comfort. We are now
confronted by tried and proven facts,
not mere theories, and If anyone should
be too poor by next Christmas 10 buy
his wife present he will have none
to blame for his impoverished condi-
ton but himself; for after several
years of personal experience, A. A.
Sanders, of New York City, says that
a man can live well and be strong and
hearty for only five cents day, aud
there is no longer any excuse for pow
erty.
Mr. Sanders became vegetarian
about ten years ago because Of i'll
health Two years ago he and his two
sons adopted their present system Of
living, which they pronounced ideal.
Arising at an early hour-four O'clock
in summer and five in winter-they
take cold bath. and depart for the.
business of the day. Mr.. Sanders u.s.
ually rides his wheel to and from his
place of business in the city, a dis
lance of six miles. The young men
quite frequently walk, making the
trip in one hour and ten minutes. At
moon they take an hours rest, but no
lunch. In the evening they partake
of their one meal of the day, consist
ing principally of raw foods such as
fruit, nuts, and some form of grain.
Their list of food articles includes
wheat, oats, beans, corn, lentils, onions,
raisins, dates, prunes, nuts and evap-
grated fruits such as peaches, apples
and apricots during the winter, with
the addition of all fresh fruits and
vegetables in the summer time; milk,
butter and eggs, like meat, are never
used. These vegetables, Mr.. Sanders
asserts, furnishes them the best of liv-
ing at an average expense of but five
cents each per day.
Housekeeping is an easy proposition
where this kind of living is adopted, as
most of the foods are eaten raw. The
beans, lentils, peas. cereals and the
evaporated apples are thoroughly soak
ed and then slightly steamed in the
way of preparation. Prunes, apricots
and peaches are eaten raw after being
soaked forty-eight hours; but no sea-
soning as sweetening of any kind is
used in preparing any of the foods

NOVEL FOURTH OF July FRoL,c

RevivinE Quaint Old En- Iish Custom
with Patriotic Features.
katherine Bell Tippetts writing of "a
Patriotic Garden Party" in the Woman's
Home Companion, describes the chief di,
version of the afternoon thus:
After the formalities the hostess led
the way to the well-shaded lawn, where n
liberty-pole had been erected with Phry-
gian cap of liberty Mt its top. Innumer-
able red, white and blue streamers had
been fastened under the liberty-cap and
stretched in every direction over the lawn
and the ends tied to trees. arbor, chairs,
tables OF any convenient objects. A suf-
iicient number had been left fluttering
from the pole to serve as starting points.
10 these Were pinned slips of paper, each
bearing the first line of some patriotic
song, poem or address, and number to
show how many other slips We're required
to complete the quotation. The rest of
the lines had been pinned to the scattered
streamers.
Each guest selected familiar line
and began tour of inspection Of the
other red, white and blue streamers,
which was kept up until all the lines call
ed for had been collected. when n new
line could be selected from the liberty
pole, and when made up, a third, and SO
on. up to the expiration of time allowed.
The selections We're taken from such pat
riotic poems MS America The Star
Spangled Banner 'Warren's Address,
The Battle Hymn of the Republic and
'The Song of Alarion's Men,
"a large bell hung aloft was rung as
a signal for the beginning of the game,
and soon the lawn WINS tho ecann of
laughter and activity, which became pat
riotism under the influence of the grow
ing sentiments expressed on the slips Of
paper.
when the limit of time was up the
collected quotations were examined and
a prize of silk liberty-cap was given and
placed on the head of the one who had
compiled the greatest number of verses
or sentences. So thoroughly imbued
were the compilers with their work by
this time that it naturally followed to
join hands around their successful COM
petitor and unite in singing America"
