NTOW, in the matter of condition:
The Commodores must play the
University of Virginia November
,, they must play Harvard Novem-
Der 8, and they must be ready for
Auburn November %.
To the Vanderbilters every one of
these three games is of more inn
portanCe than the Georgia game. If
the Nashville players are in top
notch condition for the Georgia
game, they will go stale long be-
fore they get to Cambridge for the
game which is supremacy impor-
tant to them-the Harvard contest.
A lot of McGugin's success has
been due to the excellent physical
condition he keeps his men in. You
seldom hear of Vanderbilt player
being overturned. He keeps his
men in this condition by requiring
only light work. except when heavy
work is necesSa rN-and that is in
an occasional scrimmage and i'm a
game.
You can put it down as an abso-
lutte certainty that the Vanderbilt
players will not be absolutely fit
and hard for the Georgia game.
And condition is surely a big part
Of the battle in close game.
The Georgia football schedule is
so arranged that Coach Cunning
ham is taking no big chance in
bringing his men up to the finest
condition for this game. With Van
dy out of the way, the Athenians
play Alabama, Sewanee and Glenn
son. All three of them should be
easy games. unless Sewanee shows
surprising and unexpected strength.
In fact, Coach Cunningham will not
nave to make any big preparations
for game until that of November
16 when Tech will be the Athen-
ians' opponent. Coach Cunningham
can get his men fit for Vanderbilt,
let them go stale, and then bring
them around again before any eX-
IRENE eXertions will be needed.
A NY WAY YOU figure this Satur-
days contest. it should be
great game. The Red and Black
has the chance of its career to pol
ish off the Commodores and to win
the football championship of the
South.
If Cunningham and his men can
get by Saturday they will not be
headed this season. They have the
material and the men will be in
condition They have been taught
all the football that they could pos
sibIy assimilate in the short time
they have been training.
Can they overcome the team that
year after year, has swept the best
in the South before it? It's a puz-
zle. But therell be something doing
while they're solving it.

Tho Mixture In Roumania.

Roumania is inhabited by a be-
wildering variety of races, but
whether of Greek. Slav or Teutonic
lineage the modern Roumanian
makes it point of honor to claim
descent from the colonists whom
Trajan planted in the conquered
province of Dacia A. d. 107. Cali
ing themselves Romuni and their
language Romunie, the proud citi-
zens seldom draw out legal docu-
ment without some allusion to their
founder. whom they style "the di-
vine Trajan." The Roumanian Ian
guage reflects the composition of
the race and now but family sug-
gests the language which Trajan
spoke.

HANNAH MORE.
The Unfortunate Love Story of a Fa-
nous English Writer.

NOUS English Writer.
Hannah More was born on Feb.
2, 1745, at Stapleton, in Gloucester
shire, her father being the master
of school in the neighborhood. In
1857 her eldest sister, Mary, who
was then twenty-one, with. her sis
tiers Elizabeth and Sarah, opened a
ladies' school in Trinity street, Bris-
toll, taking Hannah and her young
er sister, Patty, who were then re-
spectively twelve and ten years of
age, as pupils. The school was
great success, and Hannah became
a highly cul tivated girl. Somewhere
about the year 1867 she made the
acquaintance of a Mr.. Turner of
Belmont. He was wealthy bache-
lor, considerably older than herself
and the owner of a fine estate near
Flax Bourton, in Somersetshire.-
She is described as being at this
time an exceedingly pretty girl,
with delicate features and beautiful
eyes. These characteristics she re-
tanned to the end of her life, as the
portrait of her by Pickersgill in the
national portrait gallery clearly
shows. She became a constant Wis
itor at Belmont and in due course
of time received from Mr.. Turner
proposal of marriage, which she ac-
cepted. She withdrew from her
connection with the school and
made all preparations for her we'd
ding.
This, however, never took place.
Three times was the day fixed and
as often for some unintelligible rea-
son postponed by Mr.. Turner His
affection for her seems to have been
sincere, but he was a man of curl
GUS and rather gloomy disposition,
and his strange conduct may pos
sibly be referred to some mental
perversity. At last her friends in
terfered and insisted on the engage
ment being broken off. Mr.. Turner
was very anxious to make a settle
ment upon her. and, though for
some time she declined to entertain
the proposal, she was finally per-
suaded by Sir James Stonehouse to
accept an annuity of f2OO a year.
This unfortunate affair did not in
terfere with the friendship and re-
spect which Mr.. Turner continued
to feel for her, and at his death he
left her legacy of $1,000. But it
probably left its mark on her, and,
though she subsequently received
two offers of marriage, she declined
them both.

Chess and a RattIeship.

Admiral Charles E. Clark, who
took the battleship Oregon around
Cape Horn and into action at San
tiago, owed his appointment as COM
mander of that boat to his skill as
a chess player. Captain Clark was
at San Francisco in command of the
gunboat Bennington When ashore
he spent much time in the chess
room of the Mechanics library,
where he met some of the best play
ers in the city. When the time
came to appoint man to command
the Oregon "a friend of Clark's in
the navy department at Washing
ton put his name forward. "You
should see that man play chess"
said he and went on to describe his
intense application and determina-
ton, adding, "And that's why 1
think he can take the battleship
around safely if any one can"
Three hours later Clark received or
ders to assume command of the Ore
gon and take her at once to Cuban
waters.

Roses as Food.

Roses at one time figured promi-
nently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives thirty-two remedies COM
pounded of rose leaves and petals.
Sufferers from nervous complaints
used to seek relief by sleeping on
rose pillows, and one is told that
Heliogabalus used to imbibe rose
wine as a pick-me-up after his peri
odical gormandizing bouts. The
flower was also served at table, both
as a garnish, in the way parsley is
now used, and as a salad, and rose
water was largely used for fiavoring
dishes. Roses as food have gone
out of favor among western nations,
but the Chinese still eat rose frit-
tiers.

STARTED A BEAR FIGHT.
A Bullet Began the Trouble, and the
Grizzlies Did the Rest.

A Bullet Began the Trouble, and the
Grizzlies Did the Rest.
Il started an ugly fight between
two grizzly bears once, much to my
SURPRISE" said A. B. Cotton, for
merly Of Blackfoot, Wyo. 81 was
out after elk and discovered the two
bears long way off, digging in rot
ten down timber for grubs. l dis
mounted from my pony and, max
ing wide detour, came up behind
the bears and got within easy range
without being winded or discovered
by them. Taking good aim at one
of the grizzlies, l fired. The bullet
tumbled him over, but he was on
mis- feet again almost Immediately.
"The other bear had stopped his
grubbing when this one fell and
turned and stared at it in surprise.
The wounded bear glared at its
companion a moment and then ap-
parently made up its mind that its
companion had knocked it down,
for it pitched into that bear with a
6erceness that plainly meant bust
ness, and instantly battle was on.
The bears clinched and bit and
raked one another with their claws.
In a very short time their tough
hides were hanging in strips on
their huge bodies and the bears
were drenched with blood. 1 never
saw nor expect to see such a fight.
1t was fearful. The grizzlies fought
for at least ten minutes, and then
the one 1 had shot failed to get up
after being hurled to the ground by
its antagonist, and the latter stood
over its PROSTATE foe and tore him
with its paws until it had disembow-
eled him.
''Then the victor, growing and
crashing its teeth, moved away a
few steps, staggered like a drunken
person and fell to the ground. 1t
tried to get up, but could not. l
crept cautiously to the spot, fearing
the bear might still have enough
vitality to make it lively when it
discovered me, but my caution was
not called for. The grizzly was as
dead as his rival. Those two bears
were the most prodigious specimens
of their kind l had ever seen, but
they were literally torn to pieces.
There was not whole piece of skin
or flesh on either of them as big as
my hat. NEW York Press.

Wooden Spoons.

A curious industry in Russia and
one which nevertheless finds en-
ployment for thousands of men is
that of making wooden spoons. In
the district of Semenovsk, where
they chiefly come from, no fewer
than 1000 men make a living at
the trade. The spoons are generally
made from brentwood, and skilled
workman can turn out several hum
dred a day. No fewer than 12,0Oo,-
900 spoons are manufactured dur
ing the course of the year, which
are sold at 6 to 8 rubles per thou
sand. They find ready market,
and penetrate as far as Persia, Xiii
va, Bokhara and Khokand.

Robespierre made the career for
which he is infamous in a short
space of five years. 1t was in 1889
that he arrived in Paris as deputy

was guillotined.
