his small salary would not permit him
to put anything aside. He never will
be able to work again for the govern

Although the officials could not
heartlessly discharge him. he had to
be furloughed because a heartless gov

he is being kept on furlough with the
hope that Congress at this session will
provide some retirement system for
government employees by which Rose,

the meantime he must drag along

a year. when possibly he will be able
to take a position as Waterman at the
Charleston lighthouse depot, which will

NEW YORK. November 25.-Fordham
swamped the Gallaudet College eleven of
Washington on Fordham Field this after
noon by a score Of 6s to 0. Ten touch
downs and eight goals counted in the
biggest total that has ever been made by
a Maroon foot ball team.

sponsble for thirty-eight points, carrying
the ball across the Gallaudet line on five
occasions and booting it over the cross
bar eight times.
The Washingtonians. who held Fordham
to a seven-to-siX score two years ago.
and were reported to have a powerful
team. furnished little opposition to the
victorious march of Frank Gargans pu-
pills. To their credit it must be said that
they fought hard until the final whistle,
but they lacked the general foot ball abil-
ity to make the game an interesting
spectacle to the shivering onlookers.
Capt Marshall at quarter was a
clever tackler and made one good
dash, but he received little support.
