Love and a
Theory

sweet tenderness that touches
y the northern mans heart, came
into my life. l have never forgotten
Elizabeth Martin. | never can forget
those blue. hypnotic. trusting eyes. We
were friends at once. In week our
fancy had traversed the earth. and in
two weeks each had explored the mys-
terles Of the others sympathetic heart
All too soon the happy vacation days
passed. returned to my country Of
flee, while thousand miles interviewed.
Knowing the differences that existed
by nature in our circumstances and in
bred convictions, lacked the courage
to fall hopelessly in love with Miss
Martin. Although conscience informed
me that delicate advances would not
be rebuffed, yet this monitor at the
same time increased my conviction
that ! had no moral right to encour-
age reciprocity of deep sentiment
Because of my northern birth and
respect for the unaristocratic simplici-
ties Of republicanism | resisted the
temptation to win this sweet girls
love. No matter how refined, such
training as mine could not always har-
monize with those innate opinions held
by one who counted the heritage of the
south-its democratic aristocracy-of
supreme Importance.
But there came day when no
amount of reasoning or struggling
with my honor concealed from me that
loved Elizabeth Martin nor any
doubt of the full return of love from
that noble little girl in Dixie. But no
sooner had this conviction mastered
| me than the struggle was renewed to
make my will the dominator | COM
mitted no wrong in loving, but the
wrong lay in permitting any evidence
of such passion to appear to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Martin was the daughter
of General Richard Martin, a man of
wealth and power. OF his wife and
daughter he asked only that they
grace his home. treat his guests with
traditions of his family. But Eliza
beth Martin sought more than the
pleasure and honor of balancing the
family social accounts. She sought
no career. She asked no higher goal
than honorable wifehood and mother
hood
But did Elizabeth Martin understand
| the sacrifices wifehood and mother
hood imposed upon high spirited girl,
especially when those conditions are
made more difficult by the common
| place associations and duties of the
| average mans wife, who from choice
| or necessity must be companion and
cook, housekeper and nurse, business
| adviser and pincher of the nimble
nickel?
There seemed to be but one answer
to this question. She did not and could
not understand. This answer left me
no moral right to assume even the pos
sibilities of our matrimonial alliance.
From that day began my first dis
courtesy l made no reply to her let
| ters.
For a few weeks this discourtesy
made no difference with Elizabeth.
Her letters continued their cheerful
ness, their encouragement and literary
brilliance until suddenly stricken by
my lack of appreciation, fearing she
had made too great committal. a few
deliberately cold lines asked the ques-

ton I had expected with great dread.
Monday morning my clients, if there
were any. found this notice on my
office door: Pm going to arbitrate. Go
do thou likewise"
At Nashville Elizabeth received me
with marked cordiality and such lack
of surprise that forgot my apology,
and my inclination to explain grew less
as the necessity diminished. Instead
of day in the city the day grew into
days, and not until telegram from
home demanding my immediate pres
ence was received did my mind revert
with a sickening thud to the fact that
absolutely no part of my purpose in
visiting Nashville had been accom-
plished.
With the telegram in my hand, I
made my last call at the home of Eliza
beth Martin. From the moment Of my
reception we both felt that uncom-

JUMBO HAS LITTLE WISDOM
Prevalent Stories Concerning Ele- plants Knowledge Are Declared
 to Be Baseless.

The process of elephant-catching i'll India as we'll as in Siam tends to rather undermine ones settled notions of ele- phant sagacity and to create instead the feeling that lot of sentimental tommy rot and misleading, ignorantly con- ceived animal stories have been put forth about my lord, the elephant. says Caspar Whitney, in Outing. The literal truth is that the elephant, for all its re- puted intelligence, Is driven into places that no other wild animal could possibly be induced to enter, is in its native jungle held captive within a circle through which 1t could pass without an effort and bullied into uncomplaining obedience by force the smallest fraction of it's own numbers. Part of this Is, no doubt, due to its exceedingly suspicious nature: the other part to it's lack of originality, to which latter defect, however, it's not able amenability to discipline is at tributable. Apropos of amenability Sam derson records mounting and taking out of the keddah, unaccompanied by a tame elephant. a female on the sixth day after her capture, and saw on the lower coast of Siam an elephant that had been cap tured in pitfaIl by natives three weeks previously rowed out on two lashed sampans to small coasting steamer and successfully made to kneel that it might get through the port door between decks.

Hartford, Nov 14.--Alfred Anderson has heard from Hjalmar Lundin, the wrestler, who is meeting with sue cess in his native land of Sweden. He has defeated Neuman, the German, and Samuelson, the swede. Lundin writes that he will soon return to this country and be in Hartford for Christ mas. He vii probably locate here for the rest of the winter. Mir Anderson said he did not expect to see many wrestling matches in this city this winter. He said they do not attract the interest here that they do in Wor- cester and there is not much money in promoting them. Captain Madden of Manchester and William Cnaki of Bridgeport have written to MT Ander- son, asking him to manage and train them for the seasons campaign He has not given them m answer. MT Anderson would like to get hold of T Japanese wrestler. as he thinks one would be big drawing card. The last big wrestler who came here from Japan drank himself to death.

WAS KUROkI SLAIN {?
Russia Reports Japan's Fight
 ing General Dead.
KILLED BY SHELL AT LIAOYANG.
Alarming News at Mulxden From, Port Arthur. Where They Fear Release 0f Nogf's Rcsieg-
 tnM Army,

LONDON, Nov. 14.--A dispatch from Moscow says that Nemirovich Dan-- chenk0, a well known Russian war cor respondent, telegraphing from Muk- den, confirms the reports of the death of General Kuroki
 According to his version, the splinter of shell struck General Kuroki, tear ing out portion of his breast and ab- domen. He died on Oct 4 at Liaoyang, and his body was sent to Japan.
 A rumor is consistently circulated that kinsman of the mikado, Siaosa- mia, literally Little Third Prince" has been appointed to succeed General Ku- roki, but the actual command of the army has been intrusted to General Nodzu, who is reviewing operations.
 "For the last five weeks" says Dan- chenko, i've have practically not ad- vanced at any point on the whole southwestern front even few versts farther than we stood on Oct. 5. On the contrary, we at several points have been obliged to retire several versts, but the present lines of defense must be considered permanent in view of the strong Notifications constructed
 'The Japanese positions at several points are only 800 paces distant from ours and must be considered to be defi- nitely occupied by the enemy. The general position causes a great tension on both sides.
 Alarming news has been received from Port Arthur, but the absence of reports during the last few days makes 1t evident that the movement of one of the other Russian armies will be de- pendent upon the course of events there
 Lately scouts on our right flank at tempted to pierce the line of the Japa- nese notifications, but were met with stubborn resistance and, finding the enemy strongly re-enforced, retired"
 A dispatch from the Japanese Man. churian headquarters says that in the direction of the left army the enemy attacked from Wuchentai at 1920 o'clock in the morning, but were re- pulsed. An infantry and cavalry force advanced from the direction of Siaokai- ton. The force stationed there repulsed them, and the Russians retreated to Machuantzu
 Quiet continues everywhere along the front near Mukden. The weather has become almost like summer. One large village to the south Is occupied half by Russians and half by Japa- nese. Both sides sit in their huts and shout. "Get out of here! This is our villagev' yell the Japanese. Get out yourselves!' answer the Russians Then follow volleys of abuse.
 At the Russian embassy the belief is expressed that the Russian second Pa cific squadron will go from Suez direct to Jibutil, as Massowa and Ascab, the ports of Erythrea, lack provisions, coal and dockyards. But if necessary for urgent reasons there is nothing to pre- vent them from landing there if they respect Italian and neutrality laws.

WRESTLING.
O'CONNELL OF NEW HA-
 VEN AFTER D. CRONAN

Ed O'Connell of New Haven is after a match with Dave, CrOnan of this city and, to that end was a caller at the Democrat office on Saturday night. He is anxious to face the Waterbury boy for purse or for side bet and will meet Cronan or his representative at the Democrat office any night this week. O'COnnell is in fine condition and expects to have a number of con- tests during the winter. Cronan is a pretty handy lad himself and a match between him and O'Connell would be corker.
 Apropos of the above the following communication was sent to the sport ing editor to-day:
 Waterbury, Conn. Nov IA, '04. To Sporting Editor Democrat:-
 Dear Sir-Last evening I met that hustling Elm City lightweight wrest- Ter and as usual he was looking for one NIT Cronan of this city for match. MT O'Connell tells me that he is matched to meet Max Wiley, that gen. tlemanly little lightweight wrestler Of Rochester, N. T., in New Haven, on Wednesday the 18th, in a handicap match, Wiley to throw him three falls in an hour. This being Wiley's first appearance III New EHSluHu, Hduy will go from this city to see the little wonder wrestle. On the 22d, in Naug- atuck, he meets John E. Kelly, of this city at 13S pounds, in straightaway match. for the lightweight champion ship of inc state, and I look for rec ord crowd to tax the Gem opera house of Naugatuck to it's fullest capacity long before the Waterbury crowd is seated. Last but not least, MT O'Con- neil assures me that before Thanks giving he will be the lightweight cham pion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of Connecticut. Very truly yours,
 J. S. CARROLL.

YALE sMAsHED THRoUGH.

Experience won the game for Yale Saturday F to 0.
 Yale made both of her touchdowns in the first hf<f. One was the result of steady rushing of the ball while the other was the result of skillful play ing of another kind. A play much like that on which George Chadwick made two touchdowns against Prince ton two years ago led up to the first Yale score. About ten minutes had elapsed when Yale found herself with the ball on her 30-yard line. A few line plays reaped little gain, so some thing a trifie out of the ordinary was tried. With Shevlin back as If to go into the line he and the rest Of the backs except Leavenworth started like mad for the right end. The whole Princeton team surged out that way to head them of. But Rockwell was standing still with the ball and after waiting second he passed 1t to Leav- enworth who ran straight through the left of the line unaided until he was stopped thirty yards down by Ritter.
 Smashing attacks were then direct ed at Princeton's tackles and guards. Boomer and Leavenworth did the bulk of the work and both were im- possible to stop. The former banged his way through all opposition while the latter wriggled and sneaked just as successfully Tn five minutes the ball was over, Bloomer having taken 1t the last few times. Hoyt kicked the goal. On the next kickoff on. an exchange of punts, Princeton found herself with the ball on her 3O-yard line. She could not gain and Miller fell back to punt. Butcher passed the ball over his head and Hogan, who followed the ball like dog throughout the game, fell on it. Yale then started for the goal twenty-five yards away. Rushed by Owsley, Leavenworth, Hogan and Bloomer the Ellis went on steadily and the last named had carried the ball five yards to the 7-yar line when he dropped it and Princeton got the ball.
 Yale's sorrow at what seemed such q narrow loss of another touchdown and Princeton's joy were quickly ex- changed, however, for when Miller fell back to punt the whole Yale line broke through and just as the ball left his toe Kinney smacked 1t to one side with his fist. The ball rolled back off the line and against the fence Ho- gan, Leavenworth, Shevlin and Miller went after it, but the three Yale men dove against the fence trifie before Miller and it was another touchdown. Hoyt kicked the goal The fence gave way naturally under such m on elaught and about thirty feet of it was dragged away.
