Washington All Right.

But little fault can be found with
George Washington showing in its
game with Richmond College. The team
did its best work OF the year, and
played good football. Its victory Of il

disappointment

The results Of Saturdays games in
dictate that the Big -Four" elevens are
lamentably weak this year.
The despised AIiddies, mere boys, who
were greatly outweighed, defeated
Princeton by 10 10 8; Harvard was able
70 beat out West Point by only four
points, scoring only on a goal from
held: Yale was twice scored on by
Syracuse and outplayed in the second
half penalties and good luck enabled
Pennsylvania TO beat Brown by 10 o.
Amherst found Columbia an easy foe
and won by - 10 o; Buckneu made Two
JouchdoWns on Cornell, and George
town was held 10 II points by Nnlanova.
All Were Weak.
Numerous weaknesses were developed
in nearly all of the big teams. Yale's
strong line withered in the second half
and the Syracuse backs hammered il
and tore IL into shreds. Old ELI was
actually Outplayed. The same may be
said of Princeton Brown played equal
~ as well as Penn and only luck was
responsible for the Quakers victory.
Amherst made Columbia look like school
boys
Georgetown showing was poor. Car
roll, q supposedly good tackle was
blocked in by VilIauova's light tackle,
and the visiting backs made big gains
through the left side OF the line. Half
the time there was nobody in the way,
and the second defense had TO be relied
upon 70 stop the runner. Given, alone,
was the one man TO take care of his
position. The others We're simply out
played by men whom they OurWeighed.
AT nearly every lineup NulanOva got
the iuFuD on the Blue and GRAY.

PROPOSES NEW LINE.
May Establish Wireless System
 Across Boring Strait.

Seattle, Wash, November 23-Cable and telegraphic communication with Si- beria the orient and the old world coun- tries by way of Boring strait is pro- posed by John Rosene, managing director of the Northeastern Siberian company. He intimates that if the United States gov ernment will extend its Nome telegraph line from Nome on to Cape Prince of Wales and thence establish the wireless system across Boring strait between Cape Prince of Wales and East Cape, the near est point of the Siberian side, the inter vening distance being only some twenty eight to thirty-five miles, that the North east Siberian company will build an over land telegraph line across northeastern Siberia for the whole of which it holds a concession from the Russian imperial gov ernment to a connection with the tele- graph line extending the full line of the Siberian line from vladivostok to St. Pet ersburg
 This would place by means of existing cable connections Japan, China, the Philippines, Korea, Manchuria and other far east countries. as well as all of those in the continent of Europe in cable and telegraphic communication with all points on the North and South American con- tinents 1t could be done, MT. Rosene points out, at a much more reasonable rate of telegraphic and cable tariff than now obtains

BURGLAR HEARS PROPOSAL.
Concealed Behind Draperles He Had to Listen to Lovemaking Couple.

New York. November 23-An amateur burglar giving the name of Howard Wat son, captured in Thirty-fifth stseet. has told an amusing story of his first expe- rience in acuuirlng the property ef others. When arrested he had several pieces of silverware bearing the initials of a wealthy soap manufacturer residing 'n Madison avenue. One piece had been pawned to buy Watson's breakfast, but was quickly recovered.
 Watson told the police he had recently lost his position as a hospital attendant and was extremely hungry when he found the basement door of the mansion open and walked in. He sneaked lip stairs and was about to help himself to some silver articles when young man and | handsome girl entered the parlor Wat son was frightened badly, out concealed himself behind some heavy draperies and was compelled to stand there severa. hours while the young couple discussed their affairs and the youth finally pro- posed and was accepted
 When he was able to escape from the hiding place the fellow f)un1 all exis Fastened and was compelled to .emain in the 'house throughout the night. Early in the morning he eluded the servants and lied down the avenue. Soon after he was arrested. When detectives visited the house the burglary had not yet been discovered.

ABSTAINERS ARE
 TO HAVE REWARD
INSURANCE COMPANIES FIND
 THAT PERSONS WHO DO NOT
 DRINK STIMULATES LIVE l LONGER THAN OTHERS.

New York. November 2s.-Total ab- stainers in the matter of spirituous and malt liquogs are likely in the near future to be given special low rates by the lead ing life insurance companies, according to the Tribune As Is well known the in suranee companies never issue policies to immoderate drinkers where the circum- stances are known, but for many years s5amerous authorities have claimed that the average span of life was longer among persons who were no total abstain CTS, and the underwriters have never taken a decided stand in the matter.
 Now, however, it is stated that a num- Der of actuaries and medical directors have been working on statistics running over period of several years and from the records of a large number of life in suranee companies several of the authori- ties have come to the conclusion that the total abstainers live longer undoubtedly from 25 to 50 per cent than the moderate drinkers as a class.
 There are & number of details to work out before the policies in contemplation are actually offered to the public.
 One of these is the danger a man who Is a total abstainer when he takes out the policy may become moderate drinker or perhaps an immoderate drinker in the future which would upset the figures of the company if this should happen to many of the holders of such policies. It is believed, however, that this problem can be solved in several ways. One of these is that the application for the policy should contain a warranty that the ap- plieant would never thereafter become a drinker of alcoholic or malt beverages, the effect of which would be that if he violat- ed the warranty, the policy would be void.
 The companies also have discussed a plan of including a provision that IL the man should become a thinker the amount payable under the policy should be such a sum as the amount of premiums paid would have purchased if the man had not been a total abstainer.

MAY BE MoReAN,s HORSE.
Peculiar Series of Misunderstandinas
 About Recent Prize Winner.

New York, November 23-Growing out or what seems to be a series of m,sun- derstandings, 1t is stated that a horse with which A. G. Vani ,r5ilt won b.Gs ribbon on the first day of the recent horse show, and which animal he bought Tor $5,OO0, Is really the property of J. P. Morgan. MT. Vanderbilt bought the horse from the owner of a farm in Port Chester under the name of Harmony. and later christened him Hightide. Now it is asserted that the horse is really King, winner of many prizes in previous years a splendid animal which MT Morgan had sent to Port Chester for a rest
 The banker ordered his horse returned lately and not long after his daughter dlscovered that the returned horse was not King, but a far inferior one King was identified later at the horse show by several persons, and 1t is understood MT Morgan has demanded from the owner of the farm an explanation and the return of his horse
 What stand MT. Vanderbilt will take Tn the matter is not known. The horse has been in his possession some time

TAKE UP MONETARY REFORM.
Steady Expansion on Business Basis
 Proposed in Mexico.

Mexico City. November 2S.-Leading To- cal bankers concur in the opinion that the continued gradual increase in com mercial and industrial activity will follow the realization of the proposed monetary reform, and the introduction of stable currency. There will be a steady expan- sion of business on a firm basis, and this will increase the demand for money.
 The government 1t is believd by bank CTS has chosen a favorable time for eff fecting the change of the currency.
 Bankers will pursue a cautious policy during the period of transition. The present rise in silver is favorable to importing interests, railways and the gov ernment which have to meet gold interest payments abroad
