Harvard Is Welcomed
On Princeton'S List

PRINCETON, n. g., Jan. 21.-J. D.
McCleave, manager of the Princeton
football team. made the first official an
nuncement that Harvard and Princeton
had signed a contract for a football
game to be played at Princeton on No
vember 4.
Much satisfaction Is felt in Princeton
over this announcement, but as it has
long been expected the undergraduates
took it more or less as a matter of
course.
The last time Harvard played Prince
tin in football was in 1897, when the
Tigers downed the Crimson by a score
of II to 0. Althouh there have been
insistent rumors each year since then
that football relations would be re-
newed. nothing has come of it until the
present time.
The other contracts for games which
have been signed are as follows: Prince
ton VS.. Navy, at Annapolis, on October
2l: Princeton VS.. Dartmouth, at Prince
ton, on November II, and Princeton vs..
Yale, at New Haven. on November IS.
The remainder of the schedule is not yet
completed. but 1t is to contain six more
games, all of which probably will be
played in Princeton.
Much satisfaction is felt here that
Dartmouth still retains her place on the
schedule, as nothing but the most cordial
relations has ever existed between the
Princeton and Dartmouth teams.
1t is hoped by the undergraduates that
the Tigers will meet Cornell on. the grid
iron. but there seems to be some hitch
in the negotiations between the two
managements, and 1t is possible another
year will pass before the old relations
with the Ithacans can be renewed.

CHAPTER XIV.

TT WAS the next night. A good
natured crowd was turning from the
J. crisp air Of Avenue A into a gilded
entrance over which incandescent
lights pricked the words Liberty AS
sembly Hail." There were broad hus-
bands and broad wives: children led by
hand, babies carried in arms; young
people in couples, and hilarious groups;
solitary and furtive men and women.
Most were in their finest, but many
were dressed in habbiness-though
they, too, possibly wore their best.
David, who had wandered into Ave-
night-walks, paused momentariIy and
listlessly watched the ingoing crowd A
New Year ball, he decided; but he
heard Mayor" from SO many lips that
his inert curiosity prompted him to
draw near a friendly looking man who
stood without the entrance.

see Carl. He's the poor mans friend

Result of Election Comes as
Decided Surprise to Wash
ington Delegates.
BALTIMORE MAN
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
James E. Tyler Chosen to Succeed
Late DR.. Wiber as Chief
Executive.

Washington amateur athletic enthus'
lasts will be surprised to learn that
James A. O'Shea, of this city, was de-
South Atlantic Association of the A. A.
L., in Baltimore, last night
For years it had been the custom for
the two highest offices in the nrganiza-
ton to alternate between Baltimore and
Washington. The late DR.. Wiber, OF
this city, was president last season, so
when a Baltimore man was named for
the presidency, it was expected that
Tyler Is Unopposed.
There was no opposition TO James
E. Tyler for chief executive. but
when the votes were counted for the
vice presidency it was found that La
trobe Cogswell, of the Baltimore Ath-
letic Club, was the winner.
Washingtons delegates to the meet
ing were greatly surprisd at the re-
suit, but what effect the unprecident-
ed action will have on the future ath-
letic relations between the cities is
not known.
Aside from the election of officers
q resolution was adopted whereby
boys of fourteen years of age and
under will hereafter be required to
register as athletes. This is but one of
the new ideas of the new executive
and a number of other changes will
be noted before many moons. No
mention was made of the proposed
indoor championship set of events and
this matter will be threshed out at a
gathering to be appointed later by
the president.
Regret Resignation.
Many regrets were expressed when
the letter from Joseph J. Rettaliata,
present registration chairman, announC-
ing his resignation as a member of the
S. A A. was read. Business reasons
compelled the popular A. A. L. officer
TO tender his resignation. Just who will
be chosen to succeed him is not known,
but 1t is very likely that a well-knOwn
local member will be chosen to fill the
place.
A resolution will be drafted by COM
mittee touching upon the death of DR..
Wiber. Robert Garrett was elected
TO the board of managers in place
of DR.. W. E. Meanwell, who re-
signed. Mr. Garrett is the Olympic
hero who won the first event in the dis
Gus for America in the initial interna
tiOnal games, at Athens N 1896, as a
member of the Princeton University
team.

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0Rs IN THE ,Bl lpoD

Nature has made ample provision
In the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition Of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. It is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fbrous tissues are all preserved
IN a healthfu1 state because of con-
stant nutriment supplied by the
blood. 1t is only when the circula
tion becomes infected with humors
or acids that we are troubled with
skin affections. The humors pro-
ducing these troubles are carried
through the circulation direct to the
skin, and their irritating or infam-
matory effect remains until the blood
is cleansed. S. S. S. cures Skin Dis

All these criticisms which ! am re-

be true In all cases.
Apparently, It is true that the Ar
menian is so keen at looking out for
number one that he cannot pull to-
gether with his fellows So there are
many parties and organizations among
them, since the Revolution. Some are
frankly aimed at the overthrow OF
Turkish power Others take the side
of the Turks. A vigorous socialisic
propaganda is in full swing here, with
apparently all eXtrayagances that
ever accompany socialism. Without
discrimination. what is new is adopted.
So the Armenians in this region have
gone in for trades unionism, and they

demands, they have closed up many
places Of business permanently. Ten

The lack of loyalty to one another
and to their leaders and their pro-
