ROOSEVELT HON0RS
 HARVARD FULLBACk.
President Writes CongratuIat-
 Ing Ernest Yer We|be on Play.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 27-Ernest Yer Weibe's wonderful work as full back on Harvard's football eleven which defeated Yale has been recog- nized by President Roosevelt, who has written letter to Yer Weibe congrat- ulating him. The letter is as follows:
 My Dear Mir. Yer Weibs-Like every other good Harvard man, l have the heartiest feeling of gratitude for the en- tire team who won the great victory on Saturday last. But feel an especial self gratitude toward you. It was through you more than any one else that the ball was put in position to enable Kennard to do the work which he did so admra- ply and to kick the goal from the field.
 For the good of the team your individ- ual good was sacrificed, and through this sacrifice and through the admirable work you had already done and through Ken nards fine kick victory was won. How ever, it was first rate example of the interest of an individual being subordi- mated to the good of the team. There can not be any better lesson for our national life than to teach that the good of the in- dividusl must be subordinated for the good of the people.
 Now, have the heartiest admiration for Remarks feat. He kicaed the goal, and he did service that no one else could have done. and too much praise cannot be given him. but you are entitled to every whit as much. and every man 1 have met here feels just the way do. With heartiest good wishes and congratu- lations, believe me, sincerely yours.
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT
 P. S.-I wish I could thank personally every man on the eleven from Burr down and Haughton and Graves and everybody who has done anything for the eleven, in cluding substitutes and the second eleven.

 Unprecedented scenes were witness ed at the palace of justice while the woman was under examination, guards being required to restrain the crowds from entering.
 Mime. Steinhel declared that man named Aexandre Wolff was the mur- derer of her husband Wolff was ar. rested and denied all guilt.

 The crime was committed the night of May 31. Steinheil was portrait painter and grandnephew of Meisso. nier. Steinheil, his wife and Mime. Japy lived together.
