On November 3, 1880, at the age of
fifteen years and one day, Miss Nancy
Jane Bray was married to Curry P.
Dennison, and from that happy hour,
when life, full of hard work, was be.
fore them, she was truly the helprhete
aud the guiding star of the man she
loved. Not one time in all the more
than 6fty.two years that they lived
and worked together did she faiter in
her devotion, loyalty and affection to
the beloved husband and the children
who came to bless their union. As
wife and mother, she was the best thel
world can produce and her reward
came In the loving carea that was
given her in the six years Of her
affection before she was called to the
home on high where the shadow of
Death never falls.

the problem was furnished
Yale staggered through to the finish Of
the sporting year with a clean slate. said
slate being one of defeats. In football
rowing and baseball, the three leading
sports, the Blue cracked and was wal
loped by Harvard. They are building
an immense stadium for Yale TO play
her football games in lt will scat 65 600
persons, but the new "bowl" isn't going
to win games, SO far as any one has been
able TO figure.
The disaster which befell the Yale
navy is well remembered. Swinging
away on the English stroke with English
equipment, Yale was swept from the
river by the Crimson oarsmcn. Then
Harvard won the deciding baseball game

but that isn't being noised about.
Taking look backward. it may be
observed that il has been some time
since Yale kicked through with very
much to crow over. In 1907 the Blue
defeated Harvard in the boat race. That
was the last. as the Crimson shell has
now showed the way TO the line for six
consecutive years. Yale hasn't won
football game from Harvard since 1909.
The Blue kicked through that year with
an s to 0 victory. Then came scorcless
ties in 1910 and 1911 Last year Harvard
won, 20 to 0, and came back this year
10 to B. This alone is enough to cause
much puckering of brows at New Haven,
as II is the first time in history that a
Harvard eleven has downed Yale in two
consecutive aings between the goal posts.
There is much talk and discussion of
whether the English rowing system shall
be thrown out of Yale, but the chances
seem to be that the ten drinking train

will stick for at least another season.

CONVICTION OF BROTHER BLOW
TO CONFESSED SLAYER OF
OSWALD GRAY.

Especial to The Richmond Vtrginian.)
LURAY, VA. Nov. 4,-The verdict
of murder In tha second degree In the
case Of Emanuel Alger. carrying with
1t a sentence Of seven years In the
penitentiary, has had visible effect
on Thomas Alger. the confessed slayer
of Oswald Gray in this county on
August Sth.
The verdict was for being an &C
cessory to the murder Of Gray, Thomas
assuming the entire responsibility for
the killing. The blow has fallen with
terrific force on both the brothers, Tor
with this verdict against Emanuel, who
was absolved by Thomas from all con-
nection with the murder, the outlook
is anything but encouraging to the
man awaiting trial. Many believe that
Leon Alger, only seventeen years OF
age, will be acquitted OF all connec-
ton with the crime. Preponderance
of tie stimony has shown that the
younger brother was not present on
the mountainside when the tragedy
was enacted.

boys, bent with age. a cripple from
rheumatism. has been the consoling
spirit to the depressed boys, while their
