Soccer in Elko

\ member of the football club handed
the reporter the following this morning
with the request that it he publishcd:
The newly formed Association foot.
ball club had its first game last night.
Guilty number of those whose
acquaintance with the ynne dates back
to the days of their youth were enthu-
siastic members of the teams.
The sides were us follows: No. |, S.
r. Hunt. Alec. Sutherland, Geo. Suthcr-
land. w. Hunt, G. p. Griffith, J. H.
Lewis and F. Frank. No. ? J. S. Hay,
I. c. Jack, Alec. Campbell. 4. Womack
Alvin McFarlane. J. d. McFarlane,
Alex Hay.
The game was very evenly contested
and caused unlimited amusement to
those looking on.
After few minutes of end to end
play j. ID. McFarlanc secured and with
II great rush scored the first goal.
\ little later Fred Frank cqualized
from II good pass by Lewis.
After this reverse Jacks men played
up with renewed vigor and Tom Jack
dribbling through, placed his side ahead
again.
Nothing dauntcd by this set back No
l team quickly got on terms again after
j. S. Hay had brought off good save
when George Sutherland was almos
through.
The hot pace was beginning to make
its effect felt and most of the players
were perspiring freely by this time.
Half time was now called and on the
resumption Campbell who had been
showing his efficiency in goal now came
forward and quickly scored from neat
pass by a. McFarlanc.
No. team again passed and after Il
short bombardment forced the ball
through one of the defending backs.
The score being now 3 each 1t was
then decided to play until one side had
scored the winning goal and Il. Jack
being left unworked ran down on the
right and beating the back scored the
winning goal amid loud cheers from
his colleagues and the spectators. Thus
ended q most enjoyable game.

Naval Red Tape

A cas- once occurred, which is vOuch-
safcd for by naval officers who were
present and who tell of it us Il joke,
showing the absurdities to which red
tape can go. About twenty years ago
a certain ship was in foreign port.
One of the men was taken sick and Oh
the recommendation of the surgeon was
sent to hospital OH shore. The man
finally died, and it became necessary to
bury him.
The simple and straightforward
method would have been to call i'm an
undertaken and have him arrange for "A
decent casket and u lot in the cemetery.
This would be the usual procedure with
IA business man or ordinary citizen
The reign of economy and reform, how
ever, would not permit of 50 simple a
course. What actually occurred was
this:
lhc surgeon made rcquisition on
the paymaStcr for one coffin. Naturally
he did not have one in stock and there
fore il was il was forwared 10 the the
fleet paymaStcr who also not being in
the undertaking business, had no coffin
on hand. Then the admiral directed
the fleet paymaStcr to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from six
reputable dealers The same course had
to bc followed in securing the grave.
The surgeon made 'cqusition on the
paymaster for one grave. Strange as
1t may seem. the paymaster had no
graves III stock. Neither had the fleet
paynastcr. Consequently the com
mandcr III chief directed the fleet pay
master to procure bids from six reliable
dealers in graves and purchase one
from the lowest responsible bidder.
All this, of course. is IA screaming
farce. but it is the horrible example to
show what comes when common sense
and experience are set aside to give room
for the play of amateur and academic
fancy Engineering.

BARON WHO WE'D WIDOW
RESIGNS CLAIM TO FORTUNE.
Pre-Nuptial Contract Bars Won
SieyerS from Cash.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Cable messages
from London a few days ago ~chronicled
the marriage Of Mrs. Carl H.. Schultz,
the aged widow of a mineral water man.
ufacturer of this city, to Barren Richard
Won Sieyers, of Hamburg, German con-
sui at Montevideo, Argentina. Now
comes the news of an ante-nuptial con-
tract which reyerses the usual Ameri-
can-Europoan marriage settlement in
that the bridegroom expressly gives up
all right OF Inheritance to his brides
estate. There was apparently no settle
ment on him prior to the ceremony.
When Carl Fl. Schultz died fourteen
years ago he left all his property, esti-
mated at S. 00, 900, to. his widow. Be-
sides the mineral water business he had
much real estate inl Manhattan and in
Murray Hill, N. J.. Several years ago
Mrs. Schultz divided tho Murray Hill
property among her two living som and
five daughters.
The baron Won Sievers n Mrs,
Schultz had been lifelong friends; in
fact, it. was said they had been sweet
hearts when boy and girl in Hamburg
After Mr.. Schultz's death the friendship
became closer and the aged couple de-
cided to marry. 1t is understood here
was some opposition by her children
and 1t was to overcome this that the
~ante-nuptial contract was drawn up.

NORTH BROAD MERCHANTS
HAPPv HVER FLAMING ARCS.
But Failure to Light Military
Park Causes Criticism.

Merchants on North Broad street,
from. Market street to Central avenue,
are pleased with the illumination OF the
street, which was begun, Saturday
night. Thousands of men and women
saw the t~wenty-nine Toering lamps
blazing on the west side OF the street
opposite Military Park. and many criti-
cized the Board of Works for not hay
ing the same kind of lamps on the
Park side of the street.
1T live in the Fourth ward said
q prominent city official, least of Mil
itary Park, but my wife and daughters
will not go through the park to Broad
street after dark. They walk up Null
berry street to Market street to get to
the Broad street stores. The cleo
trio lamps along the sidewalk on the
Broad street side of the park. and also
in the park, arc little better than the
old oil street lamps of forty years ago
1.-THE Broad street merchants and the
owners of real estate there pay a great
many thousand of dollars to the city
in taxes yearly. and the city should,
therefore, put flaming arc lamps outside
and inside the park instead of the worth
less lamps there now. A dozen OF the
new lamps would be SUFFICIENT to flood
the park with light. The Board of Free
holders should also put four flaming
lights on the new court house &c
make Market street more attractive al

FEAR FOR SAFETY OF
TWO BIG STEAMSHIPS.
No Reports from the Rosallnd
and the Strathclyde. !

NEW YORK, Dec. e.-Much appre-
hension is felt in this port for the fate
of two big steamships, the Rosalind, of
the Red Cross line, which, sailed from
here to- st. Johns via Halifax, with a
large passenger list n a small cargo,
and which is now four days overdue,
and the British freigfiter Strathclyde,
which sailed from Barry, October 80, for
Hampton Roads, and which is now
twenty-seven days overdue. +,
The Rosalind arrived at st. Joints
last Monday and left for Halifax the
next day. A wireless message was re-
ceived from the steamship next day
that she had>made only eighty miles
in twenty-fou hours, having run into
bad weather. Several of the Rosalind's
passengers are from New York. AS the
Rosallnd has a wireless. outfit, the fact
that no further word has been received
from her has added to the fears for
her safety.
The Strathclyde usually makes the
run from Barry to Hampton Roads In
twenty days. She has a crew of about
thirty-five men.

Professions.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Dec. 6.-Charles
W. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward University, believes that woman's
highest field of activity is the home,
and decries the effort of many women
nowadays TO push their way into ocea-
pations more distinctively those Of the
man. In an interview today he says
that for the normal woman the most
profitable intellectual growth is to be
found in the exercise of her talents
upon the problems presented by home
making, companionship with her hus-
band and the vital problems of the
rearing OF children. He says in part:
1.-THE women who follow the ordinary
professions of men, who keep shops.
carry on business or devote their time
to the labors Of church or charity, win,
as q rule, contribute far less to tho
development of themselves and the
race thar the normal women, who prac-
tise the household arts And the
woman who becomes the mother OF
several children-four, five or six-has
better opportunities of developing the
best in herself, intellectually and
sentimentally. than the mother of only
one or two children"

ing is one just completed at a cost of
s60,6o0 by Juan d. Babcock, heir Of the
founder OF the Babcock Printing Press
Company. All Plainfield is chattering
about this new home, since it Is gen.
orally known that the elder Babcock
left a fund for the repair of the old
family home n forbade its use to
erect any new buildings. How the son
cleverly got around the will and now
boasts OF n of the finest homes in
Plainflcld is a story.
The Babcock homestead stood at Ar
lington avenue and West Eighth street,
on a beautiful lot dotted by handsome
shade trees and extending half a block
in zach direction. The O was about
to marry and wanted a home in keep
ing with the beautiful homes that
had sprung up all around him. As the
clause in his fathers will precluded
building an entirely new house he dis
mantled the old house bit by bit until
only a third story front room beneath
the lnansard roof remained.
