He therefore slackened his speed. The dis
tance remaining to be passed. however, was
so slight that he was compelled to bring his
train down to such a laggard pace that many
OF the passengers observed and commented
upon it,
But Jarvis was determined, and he held
~ down to the slow gait until the object
desired was gained, when he steamed up and
ran into Des Cartes in exact conformity with
the requirements Of the time table.
As he anticipated, he had scarcely oppor-
tunity to house his engine when he received
an order to present himself at the superin-
tendents office.
The young engineer did as directed, well
knowing what was coming
Godfrey received him in the private office,
and without returning the salutation of his
caller, he said:
ut was hardly worth while to bring you
here, nasmuch l have written you note
ordering you to surrender your engine and
to consider yourself discharged from the en-
ploy of our company"
ficia to call the engineer to his office; but
his motive was the meanest of all that can be
imagined. He wanted the opportunity to
triumph over the young man whom he look
ed upon with such intense dislike.

face at the glass boded i'll for the engineer
who had violated one of the printed rules of
the road while it stared him in the face.
Il don't think he can discharge me for a
thing OF that kind" unused Jarvis, pulling
the cord so as to make the bell swing back
and forth, as they approached crossing.
And, alter all, it isn't the matter of a dis
charge which riles me so much as it is that
| should be treated so mean by one who has
no cause for it. He knows that only a little

When the train was within a few miles of
Des Carries, Jarvis noticed they were run
ming, unusually fast, and he looked at his
watch, as he resumed his place at the throt-
tie.
He instantly saw that he was several min
lutes ahead of time; but there was nothing
sserious IN that fact, except it is evidence OF
Pad running. The skillful engineer strives
not to run too fast but just fast enough to
make exact time.
While it is permissible for conductor to
approach a station little in advance of time
he is rlgidly forbidden to leave, under any
circumstances single minute ahead of the
schedule.

recent vote of the Harvard overseers, comes under conditions which strain no friendship and threaten no rupture; so that 1t leaves us free to deal with the real problems of football, unhampered by the tension of a game which, while it arouses the greatest athletic intere st of the year, for that very reason stim- ulates those prejudices and intensifies those feelings which make a solution difficult.
 Walter Camp, head of the Yale Ath- ietlc association, followed President Hadley. Mir Camp said that football was going to be made over," but whether 1t was going to take on entire ly new principles he could not tell. He declared that 1t was impossible to make rules that would entirely eliminate the mass play, as we'll as impossible to de- wise rules that woul eliminate the pos sibility of accident.
 "The game is necessarily rough" he continued, land there will always be more or less accidents. However, I think the danger is greatly overrated. All last year there were at Yale but twenty-four accidents, of which seven- teen were nothing worse than sprained ankles. The worst was were a man had several of his ribs fractured. and there was only one case of that na- ture."
 The other speakers were Rev. W. W. Battershall of Albany, Norris G. Os- borne, editor of the New Haven Regis ter, and Amos P. Wilder of Madison, Wis.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is i'm
 Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis nfectant and purifier In nature, but few human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better, 1t is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities alway present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and inn proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozengesj they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptlcs in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great ben eft
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad- wise Starts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them. They cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be- lieve get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

 Kettell was originally charged with six counts of embezzlement amounting to about $2,OO0, but he was put to plea only on one count, that being the first which alleged that he had appropriated the sum of 800 belonging to Sam s. and Lee Shubert, owners of the Hyperion because he agreed to enter a plea of guilty

cutting off unnecessary or improper ex-
 pense. It Is too early to say just what means will be recommended or adopt
 ed. But one thing is certain. While
 we shall give the managers and cap
 tains just as large freedom as possi-
 bic, these managers and captains must realize that the sums of money coming into their hands are not private prop erty, of which they and their fellow students are owners, to spend as freely
 as they may desire; but that they are held in trust for the benefit of the athletic sports of the university, future as well as present. Once let the stu- dents and student managers under stand that they are dealing with the property of others rather than with their own, and you will have the surest
 means of avoiding the evils. whether of laxfty or extravagance, which are now incident to athletic finance,
 The extravagant interest in football presents harder problem to deal with than the extravagant use of football money because most of this interest comes from outside. It is not the foot
 ball players themselves who have the most exaggerated estimate of the im- l portance of the game which they play. | It Is the spectators rather than the l players, the graduates rather than the undergraduates who make this diffi- | eulty worse. The trouble is not that football Is too much played, but that it i is too much talked about. Fortunately this is a matter which will in some de- gree rectify itself Football, like finance, has it's periodic crises. About once in ten years the amount of Yale Harvard football talk becomes unbear- i able and the Yale-Harvard game is
 dropped for a year or two-sometimes
 by the action of the university, and
 sometimes by the action of the other
 A short interval suffices to allow us to recover our mental balance; the game is resumed with somewhat better
 rules and very much better feeling This was the result of the abolition of
 football at Harvard in 1885. This, 1T spite of all misunderstanding was the result of Yale's action ten years later Let us be thankful that the temporary

 there is any truth invthe other quarter MT. Reid of Harvard or MT. Fine of Princeton feel much more indignant over 1t than possibly could if tried, If different colleges can do one another this sort of justice nine-tenths of the battle will be won. As for modifica- tions of the rules we are content to leave that matter in the hands of MT. Camp; and we are glad that the re- forms looking toward open play which he for the past year has been most strenuously advocating are at length likely to be realized. We believe that football rules should be framed, as far as possible, by football experts; for In this, as in every other field inexpert legislation is more than likely to defeat it's own end. Tn this view the faculty of Yale Is practically unanimous. There are a few who would like to see the game abolished, and there are many who would like to see 1t modified; but so far as I know. there Is not a single member of the Yale faculty who would take the work of modification out of trained hands.
 In dealing with the evils of athletic expenditure the case Is different This Is matter that has come directly under the consideration of the univer- sity council, and a committee of thai body Is soon to report on plans for

In the supreme court yesterday was argued the case of Lewisohn Bros, of New York, against E. c. Stoddard and others of this city, this being an old suit to recover upon bonds of the Pitts burg and St. Louis Zinc and Mining company.
 The issue amounted to $70,OO0. The suit has never been actually tried IL is still in its demurrer stage, and has been to the supreme court three times.
 The case of Mrs. Elizabeth l.. Aathrop against Edwin U. Lathrop, Water bury litigation, was also heard yester- day. The suit grows out of an attempt upon the part of the wife to compel her husband to contribute to her support under section 2499 of the statutes.
