poet an economist, at a dinner in New
York attacked the extravaganza and
ostentation of the rich.

aires doings," he said, Il am reminded

This young nobleman, on a visit TO

The city hurries past with brazen feet,
A thousand things are at my hand to do;
And then the pale dream-children come

At my swift-fying hands and busy heart

Net my unheeding feet and mist my eyes,
Till mazed among my fingers ] look up,
See the lamps lighted, and above the

The clear pale, pitying glory Of star.

ERASMUS SITUATION
Strong Claimants for New York Interscholastic Championship
 Severely Crippled.
FIVE STARS OUT OF GAME
Four Players, Including the Captain, Barred on Account of Poor
 Work in Studies.
Special to the Journal Courier, :,

Brooklyn, Oct. 19.--The Erasmus Hall team from Brooklyn that meets New Haven High next Saturday at Yale field, Is bewailing the expected loss of four of the best men on their team, including the captain. This is because of scholarship faults. The marks were given out for the flrst time last week on Friday and lt was found that the captain, the star fullback, and two line men were very low Action lies with the school principal and he is strict on the point of keeping up in marks If the four are taken off the team, they will he too crippled to have ghost of a show against the N, IT. H, S lads
 Even with all their team, they are far too light to be feared. The team only averages a little over 1f0 pounds. The ends are both under 130. One of them, Platt, was kicked in the head in a recent game and may not be able to play, The other end Is the captain Both have been performing brilliant work on the gridiron.
 The Erasmus team has been back ward in developing their plays as yet, sticking mainly to straight football in their games.
 The fullback Is the best of the backs in gaining ground, the halfbacks be- ing weaker in offense than in defense.
 The Erasmus eleven do not expect to make very strong a showing as was at first expected In New Haven as they are worried over the superior weight of the local team and are demoralzed by the expected cutting off of their stars.
 The Erasmas coach was in New Ha- v,n two weeks ago and saw the local high school play the Yale freshmen. He was reported to have said that | he thought Erasmus could beat the New Haven team. The writer of this article saw him recently and he said l that the team he had could beat any team of It's weight but that the fifteen O. more pounds that New Haven had l in excess of Erasmus would make his l team helpless to get off their plays or form consistent defense. How ever, little can be judged regarding the game until the time of the contest when the Erasmus Hall eleven which has been scoring as much as 30 points i against some of their opponents and l had strong claim for the New York i championship last year, lines ur against the New Haven high team which has been the undisputed cham pions of Connecticut for many years

 Out Peoples Wishes.

With the appearance of the first number of the Teachers Journal, out to-day, the beginning of that publica- tons second volume Is recorded. In entering on its second year the Jour nal passes out of the nursery stage and may be said to have established itself as a vigorous youth in the realm of periodicals. In the foreword for this october issue the Journal speaks of the improved conditions; largely att taned through the work of the Teach CTS league and of the work still to be done. Just in passing the Journal greets the two new members of the board of education with the statement, "the two new members of the board of education, Messrs Owen A. Groark and Benjamin Slade, are to be con-, graduated upon the excellent oppor- tunty they have of making the school system more responsive to the wishes of the people"
 Resolutions of the Teachers league, adopted on the death of the late Alex ander Troup, follow in which is ex- pressed loving tribute of the league to a sturdy friend.
 The contents of the number are fully up to the high standard set last year The first of a series of historical articles dealing with early New Ha- ven history Is published this month, the subject being the Quinnipiac In- dans. Professor Herbert F.. Gregory of the geological department of Yale has page for an article on the theme of Nature Study, the leading prin- Ciyle being out of doors work by the teachers Strictly technical work is represented by two page article on Reading"

RANDALL SAW SOMETHING.
Declares Murphy Went to Side Lines
 and Consulted With Jones.

c. Walter Randall the old Harvard end, reviewing the Yale-West Point game In the New York Post of last night declares Yale showed nothing of her power playing merely the fun damentals of the game, apparently pur- poscly Speaking of Murphy at quar- ter, Randall says:
 On one or two other occasions he handled punts poorly, but this can be overlooked when 1t is remembered that this has been more or less the custom of the Yale quarterbacks when playing against West Point But why he should go to the side lines and consult with Coach Jones during the playing time is quite another matter The officials were very busy unraveling the tangle that the accidental blowing of the ref erees whistle had caused and did not observe the conference and very proba bly he was receiving no instructions from his coach anyway. But as long as there are rules on this point they should be obeyed and enforced.

GujJgord Meadows.

Guilford, Oct 19.--Fres which have been burning over the meadows and woodlands here for the past two days. tonight have gained serious propor- tions. Famed by a strong northeast wind the flames are being driven to- ward Leetes Island. and unless tha wind shifts, or dies down several resi- dences and buildings in the path of the fire will probably be burned. Already several small buildings at Hannas quarry have been burned, and 1t Is only after hard work on the part of the men who are fighting the flames that the boarding house at the quarry was saved.
 Up to the present time over three hundred acres of meadow and woodland have been burned over and about three hundred more acres are threatened.
