GILL OF YALE AND HIS MAGNIFICENT PLATINO— THE FIVEST OF ALL RUSHERS—COWAN OF PRINCETON aS AN “INTERFERER”—HARDING, THE YOUNG GIANT OF THE HARVARDS. Football fnrnishos the all-absorbing topic in the American colleges at the present time. and speculation is rife asto the prospects in the coming struggle between Yale, Princeton and Harvard for championship honors, Every year increases the interest taken in the sport by the colleges, and since the suppression of slugging by the resointe action of the facuty of Harvard im 1883 there has been a marked improvement in the game. It is no longer a mere contest of physical strength—a battle between giants which in former years degenerated into a “free fight.” It is a game in which science does more, perhaps, to give the mastery than it doesin any other athletic sport now in vogue in this country. INTERFERING TACTICS. In the early days of foot ball Yale and Prince- ton led all the other colleges at the came Their elevens were little else than sluggers. and when they got the ball they rusied it through the lines of their opponents without mercy. Harvard usually played more gently aud with some show of science. The result was that it was left far behind in the rave by the other universities and it was not till Har- vard had encountered repeated defeats that it decided to adopt the tactics of its rivals. Six years ago Cambridge trained a team of giants to meet Yale and Princeton and determined to beat them at their own game. The team was instructed to defeat their opponents, even if they had to place every man on the rival teams “hors de combat” to do it. In other words ftwas to be a “free fight” and the battle was to go hard with the weaker team. Hews of this arrangement reached the ears of the Harvard faculty and they im- mediately took steps to prevent the members of ‘their college team from being subjected to the Drutal handling that was clearly in store for those who undertook to play against Cambridge. ‘The faculty demanded that the rule then in force, that a prayer should be warned three times before being disqualified for slugging, should be rescinded and that he should. in- stead, be thrown over for the first offense. This demand and all protests were unavailing and the games were played under the old rules. Bat it was the last game ever played in that manner; for the reaction set in in 1884and the suggestion of the faculty of Harvard was then adopted generally. So many young men were isabled and seriously injured by the slugging that their relatives began to interfere and the adoption of the precaution became a necessity. Another salutary rule that has done much to elevate the sport was that adopted by the “In- tercollegiate association” at its recent meeting in New York, deciding that hereafter no one shall be eligible to playin a collegiate cham- Pionship game who is not a bona fide student of the college for which he plays, and that pro- fessional athletes should not be permitted to participate in the games. At the same time it was distinctly raled that no university player should receive any mouey for his play from any source whatever. One effect of this new departure was to immediately rule out Wagen- burst, the great rusher of Princton, a player who had been foremost in all the big matches of that college. Three other noted players— Beecher, Bull and Terry—were also barred out by the same rule. It had been the intention of the Yale team to put them on its list for the coming championship contest. Harvard was probably the only team unaffected by the change. for it had always been against the pol iey of th sionalism, e Harvard men to encourage profes- A MUD BALL. A glance at the teams now in training for the coming battle will be interesting. Columbia hhas this year determined to make a bold bid for the honors, and has accordingly put a crack eleven in the field, which is expected to ive a good account of itself when the day of fight arrives. It is thought that the team is somewhat light in the rush line and that it will find it dificult to withstand the force of the class of players Harvard, Yale and Prince- ton will put inthe field. But Columbia is in constant practice and improving daily. The real match wiil be between Yale, Prince- ton and Harvard, and, more probably still, it ill lie between tae two former colleges. The Princetons have the greatest number of crack players and an all-round team of rema-kable strength. Good judges claim that they will easily outplay Harvard. But. asin former con- tests, the idea of luck seems to hover over the heads of the Yale men and there are foot-ball experts who believe that she is bound to win, because she has not lost a championship in sev- eral years, Que of the notable points about Princeton this year will be its signaling system, which has been brought to greater perfection than ever. ‘New signais have been devised to cover almost every contingency on the field, and the captain ofthe team willbe able to convey his wishes to almost any player at any stage of the game. is regarded as permissible trickery and at matches in the past have been won by Fan ch maneuvers, Another of Princeton's sources of strength is in its interfering. When the spectators at a game see a man ruaning at hot » with the ball and having a clear lead they are apt to forget, in their enthusiasm for the ranner. that his success is due almost wholly to the interfering tactics of hia fellows on the team, without whose help in beating buck the rival team, be could never get away with the ball. Interfering. to be successful, must be done by the whole team working to keep the opponent back. This has gradually developed on scientific principles. GILL OF YALE. ‘The question of individual pre-eminence at foot bull is one that is noteasy to determine. There are so many different qualifications that to make the perfect player that distinctions bt be invidious. Three men, however, stand out from among all others as distig- guished by their strong and brilliant playing and tbeir command of the situation. ey are Gill of Yale, Cowan of Princeton and Harding of Harvard, Gill, who is captain of his team, fe perhaps the finest player in America, He is famous as a rusher and invincible as a tackler, tbe! player ou the eld. “Gill o the trpe ot on rt is : ‘edd ral, a rigid die- .

Bad weather has deprived teams of a good deal of needed practice this year. Prince- on has got over this disadvantage, to some ex- tent. by asystem devised by its captrin, who gathers men together in a room and ar- ranging @ number of checkers on a board, makes difficuit combinations und asks his men what they would do under such circumstances. This brings out argument, and the discussion is oue that som * iuvelves many of the most dificult problems of the foot-bail ticld. Three years wave changed the character of the game so greatly that, as now by the teams of the Inter-col association, it is really a game of science. A man to ©~>-l at foot ball must use his brains as well as his muscles and mere strength his ,.veu place to ekill and_ finesse. Still, there are few really great foot bali players, although there are many who are very nearly 6o. The popularity of the game and its wonderful possidilities have encouraged lovers of the sport to cl: that the day is not far off when it will divide the honors with tl national game of base ball, if, indeed, it not eclipse it, At present all the finest play- ers, with one or two noted exceptions, are to be found in the colieges. It is recognized as a distinctively college game. Bat the public is gradually awakening to its merits and the fact that outsiders and professionals are no longer permitted to serve in the collegiate teams will doubtless have the effect of encouraging the organization of outside teams, which may, im time and with practice, eclipse even athe colle Facts About Tiem Found Out in England. The Farmers’ Gaztie of London recently made some practical remarks upon weeds and whence they come. It is probable, according to this article, that the six most obnoxious weeds found on arable soil are the dock, thistle, nettle, charlock, the poppy and bindweed, A weed is defined as any plant out of place. Cul- tivated grasses are frequently found growing in arable fields, and they are distinctly weeds, inasmuch as they are fed upon the food which the cultivated crop requires and occupy the place which it should occupy. In answer to the stion whence weeds come there are (writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian) “eightreplies given, to one or two of which I may refer. It is remarked that the seeds of weeds are often present among the seeds which are sown, and that especially is this the case in grass seeds. ‘To guard againat this the farmer should go to seedsmen who are known to have tuken great precautions in the cleaning of their seeds, “Further, it is remarked that many seeds are introduced with imanure wiich is distrib- uted upon the land. The wind is responsibie for carrying the seeds of weeds both into our gardens and fields, and this is one reason why farmers should not only keep their tields but their hedgerows also clean. The hedgerows are the cause of agreat deal of mischief. as weil as the strips of land on either side of the high road, which nobody owns and which few at- tempt tociean. If the farm is to be kept frve from weeds, the hedges, the ditches and the roadsides must be kept clean also, Among other methods of distributing seed. it is sug- gested that rnoning surface waters and streams carry them from field to field, that seeds are dropped by birds andare tound in their manure, while others are carried in the mud on their feet. Again, some seeds cling to domestic animals and even to the clothing of the men. Itis remarked that after the ix sion of France by the Germans weeds whic had been carried by the German army ap- peared ineome places where they had been practically unknown before.

PASTE THANKSGIVING DAYS. Events That Have Made Them Happy or Sorrowful. THE HISTORY OF THE DAY SINCE PRESIDENT LIN- COLN ISSUED THE FIRST PROCLAMATION FOR A NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAT—HAPPENINGS THAT HAVE MADE THE SEASON MEMORABLE. Twenty-five years have passed since Presi- dent Lincoln issued the first national procla- mation setting apart the last Thursday in No- vember, 1863, as a day of national thanksgiving for general blessings, exactly in accordance with the time-honored New England idea which. from that time to the present, has carricd its serene and elevating joys to an ever-wideaing cirele, until today its observance is universal throughout the length and breadth of our great land. Two other Presidente had each proclaimed a general Thanksgiving day for special occurrences, as, indeed, Lincoln him- self had previously done. But they were not in the spirit of the rare old pilgrims who es- tablished the festival as a day of thanksg! is and praise to God, not for any special bl sing. but for all his constant mercies and gifts. It therefore, until 1863 that from a purely 4 institution Thankegiving day be tional festival of rejoicing. univer- ily celebrated from the pine forests of Maine to the surf-washed shores of the Pacific coast. Looking back in retrospect over the quarter of a century that has passed since then, we find iving day has been rarely prol ntevents, nnd that the sweet Euglund festival bas been signalized by joy: orrows of more then passing moment du shat period, and by many occurrences of great importance to our nation, and even to mankind at large, THE CLOSE OF THE WAR. When the people of the country sat down to their Th ance with President Li mendation they were devoutly thankful tat ae cruel Civil War Was Dew over. Grant was encamped before Richmond, Farragut. haviag sailed triumphautly into Mobile bay, had seale up the last coufederate port but 0: man was cutting the confederacy in twain by his famous march trom Atlanta to the sea. PRESIDENT JOUNSON'S THANKSGIVING. When Thanksgiving day dawned in 1865 th war was over. President Andrew Johnson recognized the fact, appointing Thursday, De- mber 7, a3 Thanksgiving day instead of the ast Thursday in November, according to usual custom, and advising the whole people to give thanks that they had been delivered from the An additional cause tor that President Johnson had vi i a proclamation restoring to people of the north the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus—the citizen's defense and safeguard—suspended during the war.

He giving morning, having covered the distance— 1,300 miles—between the two places in just twenty-tive days. He was welcomed by the mayor of the city, a brass band and 50.000 peo- iv, and was given a reception, afternoon and night, at the Crosby opera house. His per- formance was considered the most wonderfal pedestrian feat on record up to that time. Nvsti ug of national importance occupied the pablic mind on Thanksgiving, 1868, buton that of 1869 the whole people were rejoicing over the victory won by Walter Brown of Portland. Me , over J, H, Sadler of London, Engiand, on No- vember 19 of that year, in an international sculling match on the river Tyne, in the latter country. THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR, The Franco-Prussian war was the absorbing topic of conversation on Thanksgiving day, is70. The old-time lecture associations were then in the heyday of their glory, and many large audiences all over the country listened that Thanksgiving night to lectures from the date Charies Sumuer and others on “The Great Duel Between France and Prussia,” ‘Thanksgiving day, 1871, was remarkable for the bitter cold weather which prevailed over a large portion of our land. At many points in the northwest the mercury fell from 30 to 40 degrees below zero, while at many places in New England it marked from 13 to 20 degrevs below. The great feature of the day was a prize fight between Jem Mace, the famous evpsy ex-champion of England, and Joe Co- burn, an Irish-American pugilist, for the cham- pivoship of the world and %2,000. It was fought ut Montgomery station, near Bay St. Louis, Miss.. and was witnessed by 500 spectators, Neither man seemed anxious to fight, and after they had sparred for three hours and thirty- eight minutes without materially damaging each other the referee declared the mill a draw. THE BOSTON FIRE. The great heart of the nation was throbbing with sympathy when daylight broke on Thankw- giving morning, 1872, for with the dawn came the telegraphic announcement that nine bodies had been recovered from the Lever ruins of the fire which had nearly destroye the city of Boston on November il, and that nineteen of its supposed victims were still missing. Over the wires flashed also an un- favorable report of the condition of Horace Greeley, the famoua journalist who had been the democratic candidate in the presidential election of that year and whose death was momentarily expected at Tarrytown, N.Y, w! he expired at 6:50 o'clock on the follow- ing evening. SORROWING IN 1873, Many heavy hearts sought in vain for some reason for thankfulness on the annual thanks day in 1873. The financial panic of that year had paralyzed many forms of industry, sequently not afew of those dependent upon them for their daily bread, who but a few years before had been in comparative afiluence, now found themselves idle and almost destitute. Stil the news received that Lhanksgiving morn- ing that the threatened war with Spain over the seizure of the American vessel Virginius by the Cuban authoritles had been averted by the Spanish government acceding to the demands of the United States was cause for rejoicing, When the next Thanksgiving came in 1874 the cts of the panic were still being felt in many 8. The eyes of the nation were turned in particular to the coal regions of Pennsylvania, Ont of 12,000 workers in that section all but 1,600 were then idle. Outrage and murder were common, general lawlessness was ram- pant and a great riot seemed imminent. The whole nation united in mourning on Thanksgiving day, 1875, at the bier of Vice President Heury Wilson, whose remains were then lying in state in the Capitol at Washing- ton, he having died suddenly on Tuesday, No- vember 23. o THE CENTENNIAL. The nation had passed its 100th birthday when It celebrated its next Thanksgiving in 1876. The whole people were in astate of olitieal ferment. ‘There had been a presi- Rontial election and uo one knew whetber Hayes or Tilden was to be the next President, Tn 1877 the great annual holiday was un- marked by any special event attracting gen- eral attention, but that of the following year was somewhat saddened by the news of an wu disaster which had occurred on the pre- us day. The German steamer Pommerania, from New York, sank off Folkstone on the English coast and fifty persons, including the captain, were drowne: The Thanks; es f day of 1879, like that of 1877, was uneventful, while that of 1830, like its poticomor of 1878, was made gloomy by a cableyram announcing scollision near Spezzia between the ocean steamers Ortirid and Uncle Joseph, by which 250 souls were lost. PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S a One of the saddest Thanksgivings our cot try has ever known was that of 1881. The whole people were still mourning for President Jas, A. Garfield, who had died by an assassin's bullet in the preceding September.

BOWSER’S WRATH. He Has His House Painted. ‘Mra, Bowser's version in the Detroit Free Press. One day I saw stop in front of the house and give it a careful looking over, and when he came in I asked: “You are not thinking of making any repairs, are you?” “Well, not exactly repairs, but I was just thinking that I could make a great improve- ment.” “How?” i “The paint hasn't held its color and I think I shall have the house gone over again—just a light coat, you know.” “Mr. Bowser, this house was painted only six months ago. At that time wo bad half a dozen men around here for nearly a month.” “Yes, but the color has faded.” “Didn't I warn you at the time that it would fade? And didn't everybody laugh at the idea of your putting pea-green on a red-brick house?” Xo, ma'am, they didn't! Everybody com- nted my taste, T've had a dozen people of cultivation and taste tell me that it was per- fect harmony, and that there was nothing in }town to match it. But it's just like you. Whenever I desire to make au improvement are the drag on me.” ‘But let it go until spring, anyhow.” “Mrs. Bowser, did you ever hear the word | ‘economy?’ “Yes, sir.” _, But you evidently do not nnderstand what itmeans. It means, in a broad sense, to sell where you can sell the highest and buy where youcan buy the cheapest, ine painting sea- son is about closed, lots of men are out of work, {sud I can get this house painted now $40 cheaper than next spring. Isn't $40 worth | saving?” but the honse doesn’t need it.” Not in your judgment, perhaps. Pecple who were brought upin log houses in the coun- try have tastes peculiarly their own. The house will be painted.” He crossed his hands under his coat tails, | paced up and down the sitting room. and, of | course, Tsunk into insignificance and dropped the subject. Two days later four or five hard- looking fellows with paint on their clothes came up and looked the outside of the house over. At brief intervals they consulted to- gether and made tigures on the back gate. At | other brief intervais they measured the width ;aud length of the house with a tape line. After three hours’ hard work they came to a | conclusion of some sort and then went out to | the baru to rest their tired brains and wait for Mr. Bowser to appear. When he came home he confabbed with them for half an hour, made more figures on the buck gate and finally told them to go aheud, They won't make the least muss around.” he said as he came io. “They'll skim right over in about two days and you'll hardiy know they have beeu here.” Tt was uscless to say anything after the bar- i gain had been made, so I held my tongue. | Next morning a waxon came with three long | ladders, two short oues, four step-ladders, four pails and so many cans aud brushes that I got ured of counting them. I expected to see fully fifteen painters co;ne with the outfit, bat ten must have got lost on their way up. The | five were enough. however, to take possession of the barn, the kitchen and the basement. “Looks as if they wouldn't be over a day and 8 half,” said Mr. Bowser, as he started off down town. It looked to me if they meant to take a whole week for it, and I went out to interview the boss on the subject. He did some more measuring with atape line, putdown some more figures on the back gate, counted his long and short ladders over and flualiy replied: “I did say two weeks at first, ma'am, but if the weather holds good I think twelve days will see the last of “Twelve day “Not over thirteen, anyhow!” “Are you doing this by the job?” “Oh, no, ma’am. Some of the scrubs take jobs and rush ’em through and cheat folks in the most horrible manner, but we don’t. We work by the day and do our work well.” Then began a circus which lasted just seven- teen days without a change of program. Every painter went down into the basement to inspect the walls of the house. They were gone just half an hour. When they reappeared they in- spected the interior of the barn. and were in- visible fora long hour. Then they came out and managed to raise a ladder against the side of the house. ‘They might possibly have raised another during the forenoon, but one of them fortuuately observed that the first ladder was a little shaky. This brought about a consulta- tion, and the ladder was taken down and in- spected. By a vote of three to two it was de- cided that one of the rungs was loose. Then the five put in just an hour and a half hunting for hammer and nails, glue pots, wedges, crow- bars, jack screws, pile drivers and’ other articles deemed necessary to make repairs, When Mr. Bowser came home to dinner nota thing had been done in the way of painting. I nO ined of this, but he replied: “Qh, give them a show. They have got to get ready. When once they start they will move like a cyclone.” “Why did you hire them by the day?” “To get good work,” During the afternoon the painters raised a second ladder, mixed about a gallon of color, drank four pints of Mr. Bowser’s bottled beer and careful Wy inspected and gave each other their individual opinions on the age and na- tionality of the kitchen girl, Half an hour before Mr. Bowser came home one of them carefully and cautiously ascended a ladder, painted a portion of a bracket and came down and went over on the back street to sce haw it looked. Lhe others went over to help him and none of them were seen again that afternoon. The second day was butaslight improve- ment on the first, and it was four days before one could see thatany work had been done. ‘Then Mr. Bowser concluded he didn’t like the color and he had it chunged, He was earnestly advised to do this by the painters, who said the color they had been putting on was rather out of date and did not harmonize with the color of our front door, At the end of the twenty-second day Mr. Bowser came home to find that four-fifths of the work had been accomplished, He got mad and discharged the whole crowd out of hand, although the boss pitifully protested: “Never drove # gang of men so hard in m life, and I did want to doa job here to which t could point with pride.” “Mrs, Bowser, do you know what your foolish whim has cost me in cold cash!” “My foolish whim? What do you mean?” “Iimean what I say! 1 had this house painted to please you, and those infernal daubers have made it cost me about $350.” ‘Didn't I protest about having it painted?” “Protest! No, ma’am; you encouraged me!” “Mr. Bowser!” “There you go! Lay everything to me as usual! Any husband who humors the whims of his wite will come out justasI have. Mra, Bowser, don’t fool with me'any more! I’ borne and borne, but there is @ limit. The worm will tur > at last. I’m ready to turn!” —_———-se0e—____ She Didn’t See Niagara.
