The Body Strengthened and the Mind Made Active. pe ee AN EXPERT’S OPINION. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 14, 1898. Stories of the deeds of the mighty Hef- felfinger have been legion since he first | donned the canvas for Yale. It is safe to say that when he was graduated from col- lege he was the most widely known of all foot ball players. The attention of James J. Hill, the western railway magnate, was drawn to him during his. college career, and Mr. Kill was at once impressed with the idea that a man who could do so much as a foot ball player ought to make his mark in business, He therefore offered a position to Heffelfinger, who accepted it gladly. Shortly afterward Mr. Hill said: “I have employment: for ‘all the foot ball players Yale can turn out.” Mr. Hill probably sin- gled out Yale simply because at the time his son was a student at that university. He Mad the foot ball man in his mind, how- ever, not simply the Yale student. Many other prominent men have made remarks similar to this, thus showing to what extent a foot ball training is consid- ered advantageous in after life. Resulting Mental Development. Its physical advantages are, of course, obvious, but the mental development re- sulting from participation in the game may not, perhaps, be quite as clearly perceptible to all. This development is, nevertheless, a fact, as can be seen from a consideration of the game and what it is necessary for a man to do in order to become proficient, in it. Take first the preliminary training through which every one who wishes to be- come a player must go. Those men who are considered the most promising candi- dates for the eleven are selected and taken under the eaptain’s sup@rvision. Each man is required to keep regular hours and to eat cnly such things as really tend to build up his strength and put him in the best physti- cal and mental condition. He must refrain from everything that will cloud his brain as well as from what will rerder his body unwieldy. Here the man learns one of tl.> most valuable lessons in life, to be regular in his habits. He ac- quires a methodical way of doing things which, when it comes to be directed in af- ter years to affairs of more moment, will give him an advantage over the man who has not gone through a similar course. Regular Habits Established. Then comes the regular practice in the gymnasium at fixed times, and for just so long, and the daily runs and other kinds of exercise, for each of which there is a spe- cial time. All of these things tend to es- well as to strengthen a man’s physique. Even if the candidate for the foot ball team never plays in a game he derives great benefit from the preliminary training.. How much greater 1s the benefit if he makes the team or takes part in steady practice against it as a mem- ber of the second eleven becomes evident when one realizes the number of faculties that are thereby called into action and put to the test. In order to be a good foot ball player a man-must be clear of brain, cool headed, quick to see and to act, dogged in perseverance, calm and unmoved under the greatest provocation, and, above all, he must keep his mind fixed on one object. His purpose must be single, and to it he must unremittingly devote all this thought, energy, and time. Must Be a Spectalist. As a successful man in Ife has to be a specialist, so a foot ball player must de- vote himself to one branch of the game. He can be a good tackle,.a good guard, a Seod end, a good back, but he cannot be all these In one. In order to succeed he must excel in one position, and be able to play that position better than any of the other candidates for it. An aggregation of specialists working for one object and in perfect unison is the modern foot ball eleven. To be a specialist one must excel in some particular line, and an important desson is learned when a man, ambitious to become a tackle on the foot ball team, real- izes that it is not enough for him to do as well as any other candidate for the place, but that he must do better. ‘The narowed sphere of the foot balll play- er of today operates to his advantage. Instead of knowing a little of many things he knows one thing well. To know that one thing well he has had to work hard and persistently, and he has thus acquired a habit which will cling to him throughout life. But in doing this he has gained many other advantages. No game, no species of athletics or exercise of any kind calls more | The) faculties into piay than does foot ball. rusher must not only keep his eye on the man opposite him and anticipate his every | movement, but he must also know exactly what is about to be done with the ball and must be ready to do his share toward carry- ing out the plan Broadens the Scope of His Compre- hension. He broadens the scope of his comprehen- sion by grasping the entire situation at once. When the ball is put into play he must see that his man does not get through and at the same time must himself aid the runner or get down the field under the kick. His knowledge of the signal tells him what it has been decided that the unit shall do, and he has to instantly make up his mind as to what he as a component part shall SPECIAL NOTICES.

He has no time to deliberate at length.It is imperative that he shall think quickly and act at once. Not only must he act imme- diately, but he must act in the right man- ner. A mistake will perhaps be fatal. Time and again he is called upon to go through the same mental operation, and the result is that he gets in the way of always doing the right thing and doing it at once. Again, he must carry out his decision re- gardiess of what may interfere. His main, his bnly object is to do his share toward carrying out the plan. He must keep this ever in mind, and in doing so he has to exercise self-control. If an opponent strikes him in the face or trips him up he cannot waste time in returning the compliment. He must go right on, as soon as he can re- sume his way, and continue to do his duty as a member of the team. He cannot even indulge in the pleasure of getting angry, for then his mind would be at least partial- ly occupied in looking for a chance to get even, and his usefulness to the team would be lessened by this and also by the fact that with his brain heated by rage he would be incapable of thinking clearly and acting to the best advantage. Courage Must Be Exhibited. Then, too, in addition to pertinacity and boldness, all must exhibit courage, for otherwise the well-laid plan will not go into effect. Their foot ball work trains them to j be mentally and physically brave. They courageously form their convictions and they bravely carry them out. A foot ball player learns also how to be a judge of men.In interfering for a runner on his own team, in tackling one of the opposite eleven, in blocking a kick, in preventing his op- ponent from getting through the line, in himself getting through, the rusher must divine what is going on in the mind of the man he wishes to output. He must read his opponent's plan in must watch the slightest movement of his opponent’s body, so as to be abie to antici- pate any change in tactics. In this way he becomes a quick and accurate judge of man. Again, just as soon as he realizes ly forms his own plan to offset such action. Here, again, rapid judgment and decision ball has to do almost exactly what is in- cumbent upon the rusher. If he is about to kick, on the other hand, it is necessary for him to take in the whole situation just as soon as the signal for the kick is given, so that when the ball is passed back to him he most difficult for any of his opponents to handle it. Discipline is also a prominent and important feature of a foot ball train- ing. Each of the players must implicitly obey the captain. Add to all this mental training the physical regimen which puts the player’s mind tn the fittest condition for deciding upon the line of action and his body in the best trim for carrying it out and you have the man well started on the road toward success in after life. One year of foot ball work is of great advantage to the future citizen and member of the com- munity, and four years, the duration of the college course, are of well nigh incalculable value. Train the young man’s perceptions, his courage, his self-control, his judgment and all the other qualities which a good foot ball player must possess and he will certainly enter upon the great battle of life much better equipped than is his con- temporary who has not passed through a like experience. W. T.-BULL. —_—___. THE MAIN TROUBLE. A prominent official of the Indian service today told a reporter for The Star that the most serious problem of the day in the con- duct of Indian matters was the sale of in- toxicants. The problem is especially con- spicuous at reservations contiguous to those military posts at which enlisted Indians are stationed. These Indians buy the article reservation. On the 13th of last June the Attorney General rendered a decision set- ting forth that Indians enlisted in the army are still under charge of the Indian agent within the meaning of section 2139, Revised Statutes, and that it is unlawful to dispose of spiritous liquors to them. This is not generally observed. If it were the enlisted Indian would be a better man and a better soldier. In many instances officers com- manding posts at which enlisted Indians are stationed have had to refuse them the facilities of the canteen. But, then, they can always obtain just as much whisky as they can pay for at the saloons that ul- Ways flourish in the vicinity of army posts. The troubles of Lieut. Bryon and the mill: tary authorities at Fort Mead, S. D., are Still fresh in the memory of readers through various reports on the subject submitted to the War Department. Then, again, the trouble at the Leech Lake reservation, at- tached to the White Earth agency, was due directly to liquor. The failure of the en- listed Indian as @ soldier is di atte jer lue mainly to ————_-e-___ BASE BALL MAGNATES. at New York. It was nearly 3:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon- before President Young succeeded in gathering the delegates to the National Base Ball League convention at New York for business, and it was 6:30 o'clock when the association ended its labors for the day and adjourned unti! today. It was then of- rectors had done at their morning meeting. A tabulated statement of the financial standing of the clubs had beea presented and accepted, the championship for 1893 formally awarded the Boston club, and the report of the treasurer considered and ac- cepted by the association. Amendments to the constitution were then considered, and it was voted to amend section 44 so as to read after the word sea- son “any violation of this sectio at subject each offender to a fine of $10." ‘This section prohibits the playing of exhibition games between League clubs during the regular season. Section 44 reads: “Every game played between two clubs from the commencement of the championship season to the compie- tion of the championsmp series between such clubs shail be a game for the chain- pionship, and no League club shall lend or exchange players to or with each other for any game played during the championship season.” After the word season the amendment was adopted: of this sectioi a fine of Siu. Section 47,which was also added to, reads “All championship games shall be arranged in a written schedule prepared by the schedule committee and reported to and adopted by the League by a three-fourths vote before the beginning of the cham- pionship season. Section 47 was amended s6° as to read “any club or clubs violating this section shall be amenable to a penalty of $1,0W. ‘This to apply to the clubs so playing, said penalty to be paid within forty-eight hours to the treasurer of the League and assgtia- uon, or if not so paid to be Withheld from any funds to their credit in the hands of the treasurer. All games played in viola- tion of this section shall not count in the championship - series.” = This section pro- hibits the transfer of scheduled games without the consent of other clubs, The directors elected for 1894 are: N. E. Young, chairman ex-officio; A. H. Soden, B. Tuicott, C. H. Byrne, J. H. Hart, W. W. Kerr and J. F. Brush. The committee on playing rules will be named today by President Young. The schedule for 1894 will be drawn by the president of the League. When it came to electing the members to serve on the national board the following were elected: N. E. Young, A. H. Soden and C. H. Byrne. The question of the financial condition of the League and association being called for, the treasurer announced, greatly to the gratification of all the clubs, that all the obligations assumed at the time of the con- solidation of the League and American as- sociation at Indianapolis in 1891, amounting to $138,000, have been paid, and that he (the treasurer) had in his possession all such ob- ligations. This enables the League to start the season of 1894 clear and free from debt. following “Any violauon will subject each offender to soe Ladies’ Day at the C. A. C.

Infernal Machine Left at General Mathelen’s House. WATCHFUL SENTRIES EVADED MARSBILLES, Nov. 16—This city was thrown into a state bordering on panic last night by an attempt to blow up the resi- dence of Gen. Mathelen, commander of the fifteenth army corps, whose headquarters are in Marseilles. The house occupied by Gen. Mathelen is surrounded by high walls and about the premises there are placed sentry boxes. Sentries are constantly paciug their posts and no one is allowed to approach the place military precautions, some one managed to | pass the sentries without suspicion and placed in the room in the house occupied by the orderlies some sort of an infernal ma- chine, At midnight the occupants of the house | and every one in the vicinity were aroused | by a terrific explosion that shook the houses | to their foundations. Everybody rushed into the streets to ascertain the cause of the ex- plosion and the streets near the division headquarters were soon filled with an ex- cited throng of people. many of whom were only partly dressed. After the excitement had subsided some- what, the police, who were soon at the house, made an investigation. It was found that the explosion had made a breach in the walls and that a large quantity of debris had been hurled through the guards’ rowa. Though the orderlies were in bed at ihe time, none of them were injured, - The windows of all the houses in the vicn- ity were smashed. A ladies’ school adjacent to the head- scene here after the explosion was most ex- | citing. All the inmates of the school had | retired, and when the explosion occurred | they were thrown into a state bordering on \frenzy. Many of the girls and women went into hysterics and medical assistance was | required to restore them to their senses. | ‘Phe police found the lid of a tin case that is believed to have contained dynamite. | They also found an unexploded bomb in the ‘corridor of the general's residence. An |Italian has been arrested on suspicion of | being the author of the outrage. Gen, Mathclen wag absent in Paris at the time of the explosion. One of the sentry | boxes close to where the bomb had been | placed was blown to pieces. | ‘Two men have been found who say they ‘saw the man who committed the outrage sitting on the steps at the principal en- ‘trance to the building a short time before the explosion occurred. The hunt for suspects is exciting much interest. It is thought by many persons that the outrage is an outcome of the re- |cent strike of street-car men here. At that time soldiers were employed to protect the company in running its cars, and it is be- lieved that the explesion was caused by some revengeful striker. | — SOLDIERS’ HOME VOTERS. |Interesting Decision of the Michigan ] Supreme Court. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 16.—The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the Kent circuit that under the state cou- | stitution the inmates of the Soldiers’ Home cannot vote in the home preemet, but if they would exercise the right of franchise they must go to their former homes to do it. The constitution provides that an inmate of any charitable institution, hospitai, or asylum does not gain or lose a residence ‘thereby. This constitutional provision has _been observed in regard to all other state institutions, but a bond of patriotism sur- rounded the Soldiers’ Home and ever since |its establishment the veterans have exer- | | cised all the rights of citizens, voting for township and county officers as though they were bona fide residents. This has teen of great advantage to the republicans | ational League |as the Soldiers’ Home votes were cast al- | most solidly for the republican ticket. The ‘question as the validity of the vote was raised last summer by a candidate for jus- tice of the peace, who, on the face of the | returns, was defeated.

Pingree Formidable for Governor. ‘The re-election of Maj. Pingree by a plu- rality of 5,000 against the united democracy of Detroit makes him a formidable candi- date for governor in the next campaign, and already his name is being canvassed in many parts of the state. The interest in his fate was manifested the day of his election by the telegrams and letters which poured upon him from all parts of Michi gan. It is a tradition that public officers shail be given the compliment of a second term. Govs, Blair, Crapo, Baldwin, Bagley and Creswell each served two terms, cover- ing a period of twenty years. Gov. Jerome was nominated for a second term, in ac- cordance with the tradition, but was de- feated by Gov. Begole. Gov. Alger served only one term, refusing a renomination be- cause he knew he would be defeated at the polis, and he was succeeded by Gov. Luce- for two terms. Since 1860 Gov. Alger has been the only one who has not received at probability, Gov. Rich will join Gov. Alges as an exception to the rule. It is claimed will be on the defensive throughout the next campaign. With Pingree as the can- didate no apologies would be necessary, and the fight would be aggressive throughout. Mr. Pingree’s career as mayor has been thoroughly spectacular, but at the same time of a character well calculated to catch votes. In the last state campaign Mr. Pin- and when it is remembered that he hai been in the field only three months and that Rich had all the state and federal ma- chinery working for him the record may be considered remarkable. In a longer time lin which to prepare himself for the con- ‘test, with a wider acquaintance in the state, with greater experience in the ways of politicians, with the prestige of having thrice been elected mayor of Detroit and | with his anti-monopoly, anti-corporation record, he will cut a much wider swath in the next republican nominee for governor. If Gov. Rich does not retire gracefully Mr. Pingree will go in to beat him for the nom- ination and will succeed. CRS Nie Robbed by a Lone Highwayman.

Page 10 THE PRESIDENT AT NEW YORK. | He Took a Drive by Himself @ Dia j Not Return Until Afternoon. President Cleveland, unexpected except by the proprietor of the Victoria Hotel and a few personal friends, arrived in New York at an early hour yesterday morning, as in- itimated in the dispatches to yesterday's | Star, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont made the | trip with him. The party left Jersey City in a carriage shortly after 6:30 o'clock and | were driven direct to the Victoria Hotel. | Just before 10 o'clock the party drove in a closed curriage to Dr. Bryant's house, 54 West 36th street. | Mr. Cleveland wore the heavy bell-crown- | ed silk hat he always wears, a heavy over- jcoat of dark goods, buttoned close up to / the throat, and trousers of the same hue. He stood for a moment looking down Fifth avenue. He looked robust and strong. The President helped Mrs. Lamont into the carriage and then got in himself. Sec- retary Lamont gave the order to the driver, “uptown.” Dr. Bryant was delivering a lecture at the | Bellevue Medical College, so the party drove uptown. Secretary Lamont got out at the offices of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad Company,’ at 50th street and Sixth avenue. The President and Mrs. Lamont were then driven further uptown, They came back to the railroad offices just before noon, took the Secretary of War aboard and drove | back to Dr. Bryant's residence. The doctor had returned. The party en- ; tered the house. The President remained | there for upwards of two hours. Then, ac- companied by Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, | he re-entered the carriage, and a drive was | taken in the park. The party returned to | the Victoria about 4 o'clock. Secretary Lamont made this statement last night: “The President came here on some private matters, which occupied him during the morning. He lunched with Dr. Bryant and drove in the park 2his afternoon. He is to dine with Dr. Bryant this evening and will return to Washington tonight and be at his desk tomorrow. “He is in good health and stories of an | operation are absolutely untrue. Dr. Bryant is an intimate personal friend and happens to be the President's physician when he needs one. Hence the stories told ought to subject their authors to criminal prosecu- tion. They alarm the country and do much harm. ; = Bryant at his residence last night \ said: “President Cleveland is in as good health | today as he ever was. All reports or de- _clarations to the contrary are abominable and malicious lies. Certain newspapers have been continually reporting me as in Wash- ington for ‘the past three weeks. and in ‘constant attendance upon the President. | I have not been in Washington for three | Weeks, ner have I seen the President within that tim At 6:20 o'clock, in company with Secretary and Mrs. 'amont, he went to the residence | of Dr. Bryant, where the party had dinner. | _Im the evening President Cleveland. Sec- | retary and Mrs. Lamont, and Dr. and Mrs. | Bryant occupied a box at the Broadway | Theater, where “Erminie” is being played. The Presitent looked well and seemed to enjoy the play. After the play President Cleveland was driven to the Pennsylvania railway depot en route for Washington. He reached the depot at 11:40 o'clock and at once went on "| board President Thompson's private car. a ae | _ POST OFFICE FIXTURES, ssistant Ss Postmaster Jones Makes | ne Important Recommendatio: | First Assistant Postmaster General Frank | H. Jones has recommended some important legisiation in the matter of allowances for | rent, fuel, and light for third- | offices; allowances for boxes, fixtur niture, miscellaneous and incidental items | and stationery for presidential post offices; j the classifitation of the salaries of clerks in the larger post offices und the compensa- tion of postmasters of the fourth class. He thinks that the act of March 2, 1889, | limiting the maximum rental for third- class offices to $40 and the annual sum for light and fuel to $60 is not in the interest | of good service. He believes that the de- partment should. have discretionary au- thority to fix allowances for rent, fuel, and light in accordance with the best interests of the postal service, having in view the | local conditions and surroundings of the re- | Spective post offices. He therefore recom- mends that ‘these limitations be repealed. He aiso thinks that the existing law makes an unjust class distinction relative to al- lowances for boxes, fixtures, & dential post offices. The boxes furniture for post offices situated in gov- ernment buildings are provided by the Treasury Department, and where post of- fices of the first and second classes, with the approval of the department, can, un- der the lease, be provided with boxes and fixtures by the owner of the premises, they {are so furnished. At other offices, the | postmaster or the patrons must provide | these things. This is class distinction which is neither just nor equitable, thinks Mr. Jones. All the presidential offices should | be placed on an equal footing. This would | greatly tmpreve the postal service and pre- vent the trouble which now frequently oc- curs between the out-going and newly-ap- pointed postmaster relative to the fixtures | of the office. He recommends that the de- partment be authorized to furnish all the furniture, fixtures, stationery and inciden- tal items required by these offices. The act | of Congress of March 2, 1889, making pro- | vision for the classification and the fixing of the salaries of clerks and employes at- tached to first and second-class post offices has resulted, says Mr. Jones, in a great | improvement in the clerical force of the offices effected. But he thinks that the maximum salaries fixed by that act for certain lines of clerical duty are not large enough to command the highest order of K | i clerical ability, and he believes that the law should be amended accordingly. M: Jones is of the opinion that the subject matter of compensation for fourth-class post | masters should be carefully considered, with \a view to providing proper rates of com- pensation to be fixed in even tens or hun- dreds of dollars for a specified period on the basis of the business of the respe ces for the preceding year. At pi | comp 3 is provided for on the basis of stamps can- | celed, box rents, é&c. He does not think this is sufficient to secure the best service. | See acd ast soa The West Virginia, south Virginia and | Michigan Episcopalian standing committees | have refused assent to the consecration of | Rev.

The little woman with a cold, haughty air and an old-fashioned turban who came to the White House yesterday accompanied by a little dog, is not Queen Victoria. She came again today and explained that she was Princess Anne. a niece of the queen. The nature of her business she refused to disclose to any of the ushers or policemen, saying it was of a private, personal na- ture that could be attended to by the President alone, and did not concer the | affairs of her royal aunt. She admitted, | however, that her present residence was Hoboken, N. J. That the princess the newspapers was shown by her insist- | ance that the President had returned to Washington, and diplomatic endeavors to sive her a contrary idea met with no sue- Coss. “But I will call again.” said Princess Anne, moving toward the outer door. “If the President knew that I were here he Would receive me immediately. I have no card to leave. Simply mention my name— that will be sufficient.” aemeliomemetanp BITS OF FOREIGN NEWS. Emperor William went to Potsdam terday morning.
