These were London, Dublin. Paris. Marseilles. Lyons. Amsterdam. Berlin, Hamburg. Vienna, Naples, Rome. Milan. Venice, Palermo. stu- drid. Barcelona. Lisbon. St Peters burg. Moscow. Warsaw. Copenhagen and Constantinople. Two only of these cities had more than 51G coo London. 950.Oo0, and Paris. 6oO. .OOO Naples came third. with 3G0,000, and Vienna fourth. with 230.00r.

this season and two of them have been tie games with no score on either side. Yesterday was the most disappointing of any, of the games. The high school eleven was outweighed by ten pounds to a man at least. but they should have made better showing against the I. C. S, which went into the game with little preparation. In the first half the Coyotes could do little against the extra beef of their adversaries. They spent most of this half in tying on new plays. The forward ass was used consistently by the Coyotes and the first time was successful and meant a long gain for the highschool. After that it never succeeded. The man at the other end of it was always somewhere else. or the pass was badly thrown. The ball was several times captured by the I. C. S. on this play. Twice Goebel, for the Coyotes. .sricd for a goal once was place kick and the other a drop. Both went wide.
 The best chance to score the Coyotes had was in the first half when Goebel tried twice for goal from the twenty yard line The first half was marked by kicking on the part of the Coyotes and line bucking by the I. C. z. While the latter team was fresh the high school found great difficulty in pierc- ing the line while the l. C. $. went through for long gains. In the second half the high school tried different tac- tics. They made gains through the center and ends and were seldom held on downs. Just as the |, C. =. goal was getting in danger some ragged play would cause the high school to lose the ball and all the work had to be done over again. The game was characterized by violent argument on almost every play made. The decision of the officials was constantly ques- the high school. A great deal of time was lost in argument and the game practically spoiled for visitors by the incessant squabbling. The whole game was something of contrast to the quite games that are played between eastern college elevens in which all the talking is done by the officials and not by the players.
 The showing made by the I. C. s. was better than was generally prophesied. There are some sturdy men in the eleven and with training they should be able to meet any team in the ter ritory on about equal terms. Luke. in particular, did much of the heavy work yesterday and was the speedieSt play CT on the field.
 The lineup of the l. c. s. was as follows:
 Nogt, full back; Canning. left half; Luke. right half; O'ConnelI. quarter: Gray; left end; Tyson. right end; Thompson. left tackle; Peterson, right tackle; Meyers. left guard; Baker. right guard Sunderland. center; Cross and Clausen. substitutes.
 The lineup of the Coyotes was:
 Hahn, quarter; Brooks. left half: Smith. right half: Preston. left end: Jackson, left guard: Bellas. right guard; Goebel. left tackle; Teil. tackle; Smith, end; Halley. center.

BREADlESS PEOPLE.

Baked lOaves of bread are ngactical- ly unknown in many parts of South Austria and Italy, as well as in the agricultural districts of Ruumania In the villages of the Oberstefcrnark. not many miles from Vienna. bread is seldom seen. the staple food of the people being sterz. kind of DOT ridge made from ground beechnuts, which is taken at breakfast with fresh or curdled milk. at dinner with broth or fried in lard and with milk again at supper. This sterz is also known as heiden. and takes .hc place of bread not only in SteierInark. but in Carynthia and in many parts of the Tyrol. In the north of Italy the peaSantry live chiefly on polenta. porridge made of boiled maize. The polenta, however. is not allowed to granulate, like Scotch porridge or like the Austrian sterz, but is boiled into q solid pudding. which is cut up and portioned out with d string It is eaten cold as often as it is hot and IS in every sense the Italian peasants daily bread. The modern Roumanians are held by many schol- ars to be descended from a Roman colony-in other words. to be cousins of the Italians: and. curiously enough, a variation of the polenta. called mamaliga. is the national dish of Roumania. The mamaliga is like the polenta in that it is made Of boiled maize. but it is unlike the lat ter in one important respect. as the grains are not allowed to settle into a solid mass. but are kept distinct. after the fashion of oatmeal DOT ridge.-Bakers Weekly

STAINS WAR WITH MooaS.
An American Woman Tells of the
 Guerrilla-like Campaign.

The Spanish lines and equipment here indicate genuine warfare, but as
 the enemy is made up of a band or tribe of irresponsible. unorsanized
 Moors. fighting from behind the hills and in small numbers. the situation at present is more in the nature Of a cautious. determined hunt for the enc my Since the first disaster to the Spanish soldiers in July. when they were surprised and outnumbered. they have not only held the country sur rounding Melilla. but have extended their lines and moved well up into the hills. driving the elusive Riffs be- fore them. It must not be overlooked that this tribe or race Of natives which resides in this territory is not coward ly or ignorant of the arts of war. They are as brave as any men who ever faced the cannon's mouth, and among the prisoners captured during yester- days engagement in the hills were some spledid specimens of physical manhood. I saw them as they were carefully guarded by Spanish soldiers Many MoOrish women and children were brought to camp with them. and for several hours I watched as the women worked beside the men. build ing temporary huts. The MoOrish wom- an has remarkable strength. and she frequently does the work of d man. The Spanish are not unkind to their prisoners and only the most refrac- tory ones arc hobbled or kept closely confined. In recent engagement only few miles from here. about a hundred and twenty Spaniards. includ- ing several officers, were wounded. Tuesday about seventy young men were laid to rest in the little cemetery on the hill. The next night there was skirmish. and, what with the continual artillery fire and the sYarms of mosquitoes. there was little sleep At the cemetery I saw perhaps fifteen or twenty dead bodies in trench. ready for burial Near by were three collins containing the bodies of cap tain and two lieutenants. the oldest not over 30 years. Later in the day met the funeral of another officer. wounded, so it will be seen that they are in the thick of the fight with their men. The news of these deaths is not likely to appear in the Spanish papers as the censorship is rigid, and it may be long time before the general puD- Bc of Spain can learn the names of these brave boys who sleep in trench at Melilla. with the Spanish flag as their winding sheet-Leslie's Weekly

TIE GAME PLAYED

"InvisibIe- football is purely an Ari- zona institution That is the sort of game that was played yesterday be- tween the Phoenix Coyotes and the eleven representing the l. (. :. As far as the few lonesome spectators on the grandstand are concerned the game might have been played somewhere off in the South Sea Islands; they saw just about as much of the game as the newspaper correspondents in the Russo Japanese war saw of actual bat tie maneuvers.
 The spectators on the front row in the Crandstand sat with stOlid faces like a group of Britons watching cricket match They were watching little cloud of dust that moved slowly up and down the checkered field Four or five times during the course of the game one spectator said to another. There it is" On these occasions the pigskin popped out of the dust cloud and aviated down the field.

 There is a cousoling fact, however. for those who paid real money to see an invisible game of football, and that is that the first half at least was not worth seeing. The only real play of the whole game was in the last five minutes of play Then the Coyotes. realizing that they were face to face with the gloryless score of nothing to nothing with team that has but lit- tie practise compared with their regu lar and persistent training. bristled with spirit and snarled and fought for the balLtearing through their oppon- ents' line in a brave effort to score a touchdown before time was called

 It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient. instead of resOrting to the usual list of medi cines.
 There are some truly scientific physicians among the present genera tion who recognize and treat condi- tions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance:

PENSION FRAUDS IN FRANCE

l wrote last week of the wiles of sham beggars in Paris and of the difficulties which the authorities eX perience in circumventinG them. The Paris Municipal Council is now turn ing it's attention to another form of fraud of the pretended poor. Every year the enormous sum of 2 e23,000 is spent in pensioning incurables and destitute old people. It has now been discovered that an immense percent age of this money has been spent on people who do not need it, and who are often wealthy. For years past money has been paid out to ''incura bles'' who were cured long ago. to "cripples" who are well and strong. and to 'destitutes" who are perfectly well off.
 Some months ago an aged widow was admitted to a home at the pub lie expense. It was found afterward that she had paid out ( 500 to the per son who had secured her admission, and that person was her nephew. An old man who received pension was found living in very comfortable rooms at rent of e50 year-quite high rent for Paris for a bachelors flat. He also rented a wretched room in a tumble down house in a poor quarter of the city and this was his official address.
