My heart is broken. I shall always feel that I am under that I cannot even go and visit by old mother without arouslng suspicion of my disloyalty ln the minds of the general staff"

THE PRINCETON WARRIORS IN BATTLE An Attendance of About Thib 1hols- and Tuned Out to See the
 Bis Football Game.
YALE WAS FIRST ON FIELD
And Later Made First Gains First Minutes of The Game
 Was a Kicking Affair.

Princeton, N. J., Nov 17.-Prince- ton was awake early to-day prepar- ing for the great annual football game with Yale. The weather in the early hours was all that could be de- sired. and the prospects are that one of the largest crowds that ever came to this quiet little university town will be here to cheer the teams on to victory. Hundreds of football en- thusiasts arrived yesterday to avoid the great rush that always occurs when there is big game at Prince ton. Shortly after 8 o'clock to-day the first trains from New York and Philadelphia crowded with football visitors. arrived. and from that hour until the game started at p. m., there was a steady stream of arriving passengers.
 There is every prospect that the crowd will witness grand struggle between the ancient rivals under the modern code of rules.
 When the Yale team arrived from New York. where they spent last night. all the men were reported "flt as fiddle" for the contest and have no thought of defeat. Their rivals are equally as confident. The Prince tonians spent the night in the club house on Osborne field and were early astir for short walks in the country. Later they met for signal drills and final instructions. Hun dreds of friends called at the club house in an effort to see the players, but almost without exception the players were not permitted to be dis turbed by social functions ot recep- tions.
 The football sharp who has no fa- vorite team or sentiment to sway him, looks for Princeton to win, but not without struggle. Princeton is e we'll drilled team with enough vet erans on 1t to steady the new men. They have played a consistent game and their record is as good as that of any other eleven in the east. Yale's showing this year has also been good. and while the team has as whole played we'll, 1t remains to be seen in to-day's contest how the new men stand the strain of a big game.
 All the snow has been removed from the playing field and the grid iron is in fairly good condition. It Is a trine soft. but not enough to inter- fere with good playing. The lineup is as follows:

HUNTING NEGRO CONVICT.
Half . Hundred Men Renewed tho
 Search This Morning.

Thomaston, Me, Nov 17.--Arinot St Clair Francis, the negro convict who escaped from the prison here. was still at large when half a hun dred men resumed their search for him to-day. It is the general opinion among the. men who are searching for the convict. that Francis is still within the confines of Beauchamp Point. this belief being based on tine fact that the thirty acres which com prise the point, are SO we'll guarded that 1t seems extremely improbable that Francis could affect his escape. At each of the five roads leading from the point sentries are posted and the territory between the roads and out lying districts and bridges also was guarded.
 The watchers who were on guard during the night suffered sever,ly from cold. and from fatigue due to loss of sleep and almost constant walking. The Rockport \. M. c "A. rooms were kept open throughout the night and there searchers made their headquarters. a number of them snatching a few hours sleep when they were relieved by fresh recruits
 To guard against a repetition of the trick played by Francis Thursday night. when he slep in a cottage at the point. and then eluded the officers during the next day. a systematic eearch of every cottage at Beau champ Point and along the shore road between Rockport and Camden was made today. but no trace of the fugitive was found
 Adjufant General Farnham- ls re sponse to a request from Warden R. O. Norton of the state prison for as- sistance of the local militia sent word that he would arrive at Rock port at noon for a conference TEe warden believed that the militisnsen could locate or capture Francis with h c short time by organized effort

TWO REASONS FOR DEARTH
Davidson Tells why Small Number of
Teachers stand for Ex-
aminations.

Superintendent Davidson accounts for the
small number Of teachers standing for the
certificate examinations OF the Omaha pub
lie schools by two reasons. only sixteen
took the tests for grade certificates and
six for the high school, and the average
Of work was below par.
THE first cause lies in the fact that
small cities and towns are paying higher
wages to keep their teachers" said the
superintendent "The smaller communities
at last have realized that If they are to
keep their best instructors from the better
advantages OF the large cities they must
pay more money. One Of the applicants
at the examination this week while here
received notice of an advance of IS a month.
This is a fair illustration of my point.
THE second cause is that Omaha has
been culling the most ambitious and bright
est young women from throughout the
state and western Iowa for the examina-
lions for several years. 1t is possible that
right now the cream of the material pos
sesses our certificates and we must wait
for a second crop.
mo serious results to the local schools
are to be apprehended, however, unless the
situation grows much worse"
