Bluffton. Ind, Aug. THE ball
game which was to have been played
here Tuesday between Bluffton and
Richmond was declared by the umpire
forfeited in favor of Bluffton because
of the failure of the Richmond team TO
appear on the grounds. The Rich
mond team was delayed by a small
wreck on the Lake Erie & Western
caused by the derailment of the en-
CINE south of Cambridge City. The
train was due in Bluffton at 1 O'Clock,
but did not arrive until 5. At the
hour for the game two Richmond
players appeared on the field in uni
form, and after the local management
had waited for two hours for the Rich
mond team, as the length of time they
had been notified in a telegram would
be sufficient for the team to reach
here, the game was then declared for
feited The Richmond management
is not willing to abide by this decision
and will appeal the case. The local
management is willing TO abide b.
whatever the president may decide up
on, and it is possible that the game
may be played later.

Indiana, in one of his Chautauqua lee

went to Congress a Republican. he
and the Missourian were very good
friends, and Clark's admiration of the
Indfanian from Richmond continues
to this day. In his lecture he spoke
Of Johnson's skill in debate, and told
the story in connection with that
characteristic of his friend
Mr.. Johnson he said, twas en-
gagged in debate with an Illinois Con-
gresham and called him an ass. This
was unparliamentary, of course, and
had to be withdrawn. Pursuant to
the order of the Speaker, Mr.. Johnson
said:

Mr.. Speaker, but l insist that the gen.
tleman from Illinois is out of order

One of the Yale professors has been
making study of the occupations of
Yale graduates by classes. He finds
among other things that a constantly
lessening number are entering the min
istry. and steadily increasing number
are studying law. The law now claims
more than twice as many as any other
profession. Next to it comes finance.
Fewer than one-twelfth of the gradu-
ates enter the ministry, in spite of the
fact that one of the purposes for which
Yale was founded was ito train cody
young men for the Christian ministry
But. side by side with these facts, it is
also noted that charitable and philan-

ey and of service-is yearly claiming a
larger share of the interest of educated
men and women. Perhaps that is

1t is evident that President King
has held that Richmond's failure to
play the scheduled game Tuesday
with Bluffton was no fault Of the
Quakers and has reached a decision
to have the game played off ON some

the fact that in the india lapclis Star
