SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL.

THE football season will wind up tomorrow
with the regular annual game of the Army
and Navy, which will be played at Philadelphia
This is always an interesting contest, as official
Washington turns out in large numbers to wit
ness the struggle between the coming soldiers
and sailors. The teams appear to be evenly
matched this year and close and exciting battle
on the gridiron undoubtedly will be the result.
The most notable of the games played yester-
day was that in Philadelphia, where Cornell and
the University of Pennsylvania met in their an
nual conflict 1t was a tie game unsatisfactory
because it was indecisive, and yet the gridiron
struggle was one of the most brilliant seen on the
Philadelphia field in recent years. The general
opinion concerning the new rules is that they
have been a great improvement and they have
won the hearts of the spectators. The open
game, marked by often brilliant punting and
spectacular effects, has proved the game to be
more interesting than ever from the point of view
of the onlooxer and in the game as now played
there is little or of the brutality that brought
football in such bad repute. Altogether football
has rehablitated itself in the estimation of those
who have been inclined to crticse the sport
as it has been played during recent years, and
from now on it is likely to increase in public
favor

for judges, the nominees for Congress and for
all the other positions. The Democrats of that
city surrender themselves into the hands OF Muir
ply, and we have there an exemplihcation OF the
boss system. The primaries are a farce, merely
a matter of form. SO, too, has it been in Phila-
delpha under the domination of the gang or
organization as it is called
The tendescy has been to get away from such
methods. In many States voters now express
their choice of a candidate for United States SEN
ator and the Legislature regards the will Of the
people as mandatory Throughout the West it
is customary to make nominations. by primaries,
by direct vote Of the people, as is done in this
county in naming candidates for the county
offices and for members of the Legislature. The
consequence is that in this county every man who
aspires for an office in the Republican party has
an equal chance before the vote. If he can win
their support he is nominated. New Castle
county Democrats, distrustful OF the voters, make
only part of their candidates subject to the rule
OF the primaries. In Kent and Sussex counties
neither party selects its nominees by direct vote
OF the people
It is safe to say that Mr.. Bonapartes imperial
istic idea will get few followers. The people are
trying TO avoid bosses They will sec no differ
ences between "legalizcd' or any other kind of
a boss boss is a boss whether he is legal

HIGHER RlNTAL FOR CARS
Railroads and Corporations Must Pay
to Keep Them.

haiiroaaS ana corporations Wust ray
to Keep Them.
Taking effect to-day the important rail-
roads Of the country have advanced the
per diem rate of empty frcisht cars re-
manning on the sidngs Of manufacturing
or other plants to fifty cents, this rule to
apply to railroads having on their lines
the cars belonging TO the companies.
II has long been claimed by the larger
companies that the smaller roads have
always found it cheaper under the pres
ent rates to use the cars Of other lines
than to provide their own. and that in
times OF car stringency they (the larger
companies are the worst sufferers, no.-
withstanding that they provided them
selves with cars sufficient TO meet even
worse than the ordinary demands Of their
own traffic.
The new agreement entered into in no
way affects the provisions of the present
per diem rules, except as 10 rates and tfe
penalty for delay among the roads to the
agreement. Provision has also been made
for the appointment af a committee Of
three to be known as Car Hire Commit

Editor The Evening Journal
During the rast few weeks my atten'icn
has been drawn to the rapidly increasing
number OF beggars soliciting aims on tie
public streets. These mendicants seem to
try 10 outdo each other IN the noveley Of
their methods to extract the loose coin
from the pockets of the charitable ! be-
licve this practice should be abolished, or
at least checked. as This influx OF alms
seekers Is assuming alarming proport ons.
n all those engaged in begging were
genuinely worthy there would not be SO
much room for complaint but many OF
them are imposters. If not the advance

case in point came TO my attention some
time ago while visiting another c ~,
where / saw the upper part OF mans
body apparently resting on the sidewalk
while sign about his neck asked as
sistanco for poor fellow without legs.
While watching the man I saw q little
boy approach him and pinch him. and IN

TOBACCO ODOR
LED TO DIVORCE
HuSL and Found Man BEHIND
the Stub and Whipped
Him
WIFE ENTERED NO DEFENSE

NEW YORK, Nov. CO. With his sus-
picions first aroused by q cigarette s .u5 on
his mantelpiece, John II. Hutchinson Of
No. 29l New York avenue. Jersey City,
started out to learn she identity of the
man at the other end of that short smoke.
He did so, and from The scent Of the
fragrant cigarette grew divorce case
which was decided in Hutchinson's favcr
He is a night clerk in the Lackawanna
station in -Hoboken, and being dstained
late on duty, had to leave his wife az
home for many hours. one morning, af-
ter working hard an night he found a
cigarette stub and questioned has wife
about IT,. She was confused, but finally
said the stub was given 70 her by
young man she had requested to stop
smoking on Il trolley car The young man
remarked that She was a courageous wo-
man, Mrs Hutchinson said, and gave her
the stub as a souvenir.
The explanation impressed Hutchinson
at first. but in afterthousht it aroused 9
suspicion. SO he went nome earlier than
usual a few days afterwa,d. A strong o3or
Of cigarettes was in his rooms lie OBJ
served nothing else there unusual but
went into the street and at the corner
found young man smoking a cigarette
Hutchinson slowly walked by the young
man and scrutinized him closely A week
afterward he came across his wife out
walking with this same young man, and
Immediately started in to whip him. The
young man fed with pair OF black eyes
and leaving his hat behind. Hutchinson
and his wife have not lived together since
the street battle. He at once began a suit
for divorce which Mrs. Hutchinson did
not contest.
The testimony was taken by Senator
James i. Minturn OF Hotoken. as referee.
Chancellor Magic yesterday on the Sem
ators recommendation, granted Hutch n
son an absolute decree and the custody OF
the children, "a boy and a girl.
