- THE OMAHA AR DAILY BEE: WMATOY YAQv U2 UNDAY OVEMBER 12, 18! IXTEEN PLAYED IN THE BLIZZARD Omaha aod Linosln High Schosl Toams Put Up a Lively Game. LUCK WAS WITH THE HOME ELEVEN ONCE Whatever of Favorable Fortane Fell with inding Snow Lighted with the Gate City Boys—Statas of the Championship Race, Foot ball players are not made of the stuff chat flinches at wet or cold. 1t is under- stood, 1 fact, among its devotees, that no match may be abandoned for any reason other than snow deep enough to render it tmpossible to got over the grouna or a frost that makes falling too dangerous. The spiriv and even enthusiasm with which the High school boys of Omaha and Lincoin lined up t the Young Men's Christian as- sociation park yesterday afternoon was evideuce that they were consti- Ruted of the genuine article; anda the game they put up, with weather conditions as discouraeing and uncomfortable as ever a foou ball team was confrontea with, is proof sufficient that the game can be played, weather permitting or weather dissenting. The Lincoln boys had brought with them quite a handful of spectators, including several admiring girls with tin horns and black and red ribbons, ready to urge them on to victory and acknowledge and applaud their overy success. The boys had built a firc at the back of the grand stand and the weather soon puta very chilly damper on the ardor of those who had no duty call to the fleld of action. Yet there was quito a number of onlookers, mostly schoolmates of the players, wrapped in mackintosh and ulster, watching the play as well as was possible through the blinding snow. Close Work All Throngh. It was not by any means the spectators alone who suffered from vhe bad weath The ground was covered with suow when the boys lined up at 3:20, and as the game went on the fall increased in force. The effect of this, of ccurse, was to make indi- vidual work unsatisfactory, if not absolutely impossible, and from start to finish the play did not once become loose or free. This may or mav not haye been au advantige to the,Omaha boys, but certain it is that they bardly ever failed to make ground when once they got the ball down in the scrimmage. Right at the start this was especially noticeatle. .The ball gradually taken to the Lincoln line, and after ten or fifteen minutes, during which it had never once been free, Purvis got it out of the pack for an instay and scored a touchdown. Shel- don converted and Omaha led by six points 1o noue. After some more scrimmage work, Cook made a short run for Lincoln, but he never really got free and his course was almost horizontally across the field. More scrim- maging, and Ralph Hoyt got the ball over the line and himself kicked the goal. thus equalizing the score. In the tussle just be- fore the line was crossed ove of the Liucoln men, Weoster, was injurcd and his place in the team was soon taken by Mosher. Just before vhe cnd of the first half Gara- ner scored for Omaha and kicked his own goal, making the half-time score: Omaha, 12; Lincola, 6. Omaha's Last Touchdown, After the interval Lincoln started out by s inNE @ little ground, but the Omaha boys took the ball across the field and gradually worked it back to sbout the cent Billy Ayers got hold of it, and, with field, made a bee line for the goal. Th the one piece of pretty individual play of the afternoon, and even this an unfriendly critic might well have ascribed as much to luck as to skill. Gardner had an easy kick at goal, but sent the ball under the post. There was nearly another half hour left for play, buv there was little more done. The bail was kept very vear the center of the field, and except for one or two short spurts, was in a tight scrimmage al- most the whole time. The nd stand had long been empty, and the few spectators who were courageous enough to follow the players up and down the field were longing only for the welcome sound of the whistle which should announce that the battie was ove No change made in the score, which stood at the finish: Owmaha, 16; Lincoln, 6.

Masnatras Fieeo, N, Y., Nov. 11.—Tne Yale and University of Pennsylvania foot ball elovens met at Manhattan Field today, and all the toot ball world was thero to see. As the Quakers had withdrawn from the Intercollogiate league, one of the clemonts of the game in former years was wan tin It was not a championship game, yet toda contest was far more important than mpionship game ever played betwee these colleges in the past. To the very fact that the versity of Peansylvania had retirod from the league may bo ascribed i ts mportance. The teams linod up as follows: Positions. V.ot P. Jdeft end Simmons.

Whon the hands showed 2:33 o'clock he called out: “Play." Took it Into Yale's Territory. Pennsylvania opened the game with a wedge, The ball was passed to Osgood,and be- foro he was downed he hadgained ten yards. They then tried ineffectually to advance the ball and lost 1t on four dowus to Yale. Yale then tried to send her halfs through Pennsylvania's tackies, but gaining only three yards, was forced to try a kick. But- terworth, however, fumbied the ball, which was poorly passed by Morris and was downed in his tracks. It was Pennsylvinia's ball on Yale's forty-three-yard line. Pennsylvauia at once sent Osgood for five yards through Murphy. Pennsylvania then formed for a flying woage. When it was started, however, Hickock broke through and downed Brooke, who had the ball mn his tracks. Knipe was then sent without gaining after which the ball was passed by the guard to Vail, who made a short kick just beyvond Newton, who broke through and caught the ball. Vail had run up abous ten yards and put him aside. Knipo was then sent for a gain of four yards through Hickock. Again the same play was tried. but Pennsylvania failed to mako any distance by it and lost the ball on four downs. Armstrong then tried ineffectually to go through Oliver, who stopped him in his track. . the Blue Deaperate, Yale was evidently worked up at this stage, for she sent ‘Lhorne through Penn- sylvania’s center, making Yale's first down. Butterworth followed with three more vards through the center, aftor which ‘Thorne made one through Mackey. Morcis, in trying to pass the ball to Thorne, futabled it, but Beard fe'l on it and saved it Beard for Yale. Yale then failing to advance the ball by rushing, kicked poorly and Pennsylvania got the leather only fif- teen yards away. They at once tried akick, but Hickock breaking through blocked it. When time was called for the flrst hall the score stood 6 to 0 in favor of Yale. In the second half Yale lost the ball on four downs. Corcoran, who was substituted for Thorne on the first trick, went through Penusylvania’s tackle for a touchdown. Hickocl, failed to kick zoal. Pennsylvania in si ys carried the ball to Yale's fifteen Vi Then Kuipe went over for a- touchdown. Knipe kicked goal. Yale worked the ball steaaily to Pennsyl- a's twenty-yard line with a second down, Then some fine mass plays on tackles carried the ball ten yards nearer the Pennsylvania zoalline. The ball was then on touch line five yards away. Time was called with a score of 14 1o 6 in favor ol the Yale team. Minor Koot Ball Games. ORANGE, N.

A Piensant Theory Not Supported in the Camps of Karopes, The great and fatal argument against war is that it does not pay, suys a writer in Harper's Magazine. There was a time when the force of this plea was not generally recognized, The medimval spirit, with its chivalry and love of glovy, survived long after the bodies of the oid barons had turned to dust and their swords to rust. Passions were fierce, traditions strong, popular rights in embryonic feebleness. ''ne hope of conquest, the quarrels of dynasties, re- ligious differences, all tended to obscure the dawn of the coming era—the ora of common sense, which balances the good and the bad of any given course and adopts the more expediont.

A question which has often heen asked, but rarely answered satisfac- torily, is how far one would have to go around the earth, moving east and west, and supposing no time lost in transition, before one would reach the point where today changes into yesterday or tomor- row. Kvidently there must be such a point somewhere, for an hour is lost overy 15 degrees one goes to the cast and an hour gained every 15 degrees one goes to the west. To put the question in another way, suppose it is one minute past midnight in Paris on the morning of October 1, what day 1s it at that same moment at the antipodes of Paris? Is it October 1 or September 30? Apparently one can prove that it is either of theso days by making an in- stantaneous journey half wayaround the earth, either to the east or to the west. Going east, at the moment the Paris clocks point to a minute past midnight, it is approximately 1 o'clock in the morning of October 1 at Vienna, 2 o'clock of the same day at Sebastopol, 3 o'clock at Astrakhan, 4 o'clock at Bokhara, 7o'clock at Saigon, 9 o'clock at Yokohama, 11 o'clock at Pine Island, and noon at Fortune Island—the st of October at every point. On the other hand, going westward, one finds that it is'10.0’clock in the even- ing of September- 30 at the Azores Islands, 8 o'clock in' the evening at Buenos Ayres. 7 o'clock at New York, 6 o'clock at Oflears, 3:15 at Mexico City, 1 o’clock in the afternoon near the Aleutian islands/ and noon at the For- tune islan the:date being September 30 in cach case. Thus one has demonstrated that it is noon of Octobar 17 and noon of Septem- ber 30 al the same,pace and at the same time. Y This would certainly be embarrassing to tho good people of Fortune Island, and in order to avoidsuch complications and relieve well neaning islanders in the Pacific from riix{mg up their Satur- days and Sundays, in’ hopeless fashion an arbitrary line separating today from yestorday or tomorrow ‘has been agreed upon by the navigators of civilized na- tions. ZLhis line has been drawn to avoid touching land. Nocne can be exactly sure of the moment of passing it, but the line runs just east of the New Hebrides and the New Caledonian groups and passos near the Marion islands and the Caroline islands. l?n[l)tu.ins of vessels, judging by the positions of the islands mentioned, can fix the date within a few minutes. Vessels sailing from west to east, on passing this imaginavy line, simply re- peat the day before on therwr loghooks, which consequently show two days bear- ing the same date. On the other hand, ships going in the opposite direction skip the tomorrow and losea day entirely. In the first case the sailors get an extra day's pay; in the second place they lose a day's in the pn’{. 'he conclusion of the whole matter is that when Paris clocks indicate a min- ute past midnight on October 1 it is Oc- tober 1 going feast asfar as the imagi- nary line just indicated, while it is Sep- tember 30 going west up to the same line. e MATRIMONY IN MASSACHUSETTS Some Rensons Why Yankeo Women Have L d the Me The excess of women over men has long been a feature of the populution statistics of Massachusetts, and since Mormonism is not permitted to flourish in that progressive state the natural effect of this feminine surplus has been an unusual number of old maids. The cause, says the New York Pross, is probably Horace Greeley's advico to young men on the subject of going west. "The Massuchusetts youn has been going west ever since, but wo decline to believe that it is his fault that the Massachusetts young woman has not gone west with him. She stayed behind, not that she loved the Mussachusetts young man less, hut that she loved Massachusetts more, especially Boston, But as the Massachuseits young woman who did not go west with the young man of Horace Greeley's day became an old maid she missed the young man. She was left to lavish the 1gh of her affection upon cats, birds pther pets. And thus it happened #hat: a Massachusetis old maid, having At to leave her fortune to, ve : 1eft it to her pet cat.

High Watertalls and Most Tramendous Gla- cler Flelds, Forming Continuous Scenes of Grandenr—Interesting Facts About the Rardinger Peasantry. LCopyrighted, 1893, by Edgar L. Wakeman.) LosnoN, Oct. 10.—[Correspondence of Tur Bee.)—Norway is so cut and haggled by the numerous fiords or sea arms which often penotrate mnearly to her ecastern boundat that it might perhaps be truth- fully said her thoroughfares are mainly by water and that her many and tremendous stone roads of the mountains and valleys are, after all, merely feeders to her silent and mighty water way! One could truly see most of Norway with- out ever leaving a steamer's deck. By keep- ing to the routes established from cities through the larger flords and their almost countless lesser arms and branches, and never leaving them on either hand more than a half-score miles, every principal point of scenic interest could be gained. And if one should set out upon a “land journey’ from Stavanger, on tho souvhwestern coast to Trondhjem, midway to the Lofoden islands, it is likely that nearly one-half of this distance of from 800 to 400 miles would still necessarily be traversed in tho count- less row boats (roe baade) and little steamers of the fiords. These fiords are therefore almost first in combined attractiveness to the traveler. They possess three distinct phases of inter- est. They are the chief national highways; the greatest possible diversity in peasant and village life is found upon their shores and in theadjacent valleys and, with few exceptions, as with the glacier fields and upper waterfalls, crags and dales of the flercely desolate fjelds or mountain reaches, they certainly provide culminations and combinations of the most impressive scenery o bo found in Norway. Of late years Norway has almost out- rivaled Switzerland as a resort for indefati- gable lovers of- the sublime in nature's as- pects. This is largely bocause of this very commingling of the Alpine; the marine and the human elements. Inour own amazing Yo- semite there are immensity, sublimity and a silonce that is appalling. Here ure all these in infinite variety and exoression: -endloss sea-reach, measureless water-depths, sheer walls, from 2,000 to 4,000 feet in height, ma- jesuic snowelad peaks twice this altitude, tremendous torrents and waterfalls thou- ands of feet from leap to pool, glacier fields undreds of square miles in area—and, ton- and softening all from an endless pano- ma of sublimity unvearable, that tender threading of human color in never-failing sight of valley or eerie nests of love and effort where hardy, honest yeomen dwell, Famous Norwazian 1s. The most noted of these Norwegian fiords are the Hardanger, the Soene. the Trondhjem and the Geiranger. from tho first three extend more than a score of lesser flords. Most of these are marvels of bouuty and grandeur as individual types. All are mountaln-walled and nearly land- locked. Their protection by the outer sker- ries and islets and the unceasing tremendous counter-force of mountain torrents from the ice fields, prevent a tidal rvise of their natu- ral surfaces of more than three feet. Of the four named, the Geiranger is the nar- rowest, tho Hardanger the most beautiful, the Trondhjem the most interestingly diver- sified, und the Sogne and its divergent arms the longest and most savage and often ap- palling in its grandeur. Through its essibility from Bergen the Hardanger fiord is likely to be the first Nor- wegian flord seen by the tourist. It is about seventy miles in length. Two classes of steamers ply upon it, as well as upon the other ficrds named, vhe swift, capacious and elegant mail steamers which touch at few landings, called ‘‘stations,” and the local senger and freight boats which take no heed of time, even from itsloss. The latter should always be chosen. They are very comfortable, scrupulously c cidents of the voyage are n charming. Besides, the ma, o of the flords i3 thus wore leisurely enjoyed. More than 100 calls for passengers or freight are made on the voyage to Odde at the head of the fiord. T brings you in contact with the life along its num- 5 cy stations; end along the Har- aanger fiord this is of 'much nccount, as the peasantry of the Hardanger districy are per- haps the most characteristic in dress and customs yet remaining in Norway. The hu- man interest along the Hardange continu- ous. Groups of the peasantry, especially where setting out for or returning from funcrals, weadings or summer-time festivi- ties, are always as picturesque as may bo seen in Brittany or Normaudy. The men are all clad in dark garments and the women are gay with glint and color. The Hardan- ger female costume in the fleld often consists of one garment, displaying the outlines of tho form with considerable freedom, though there will always be a bitof color i i about the neck or head. But wh Hardanger matrons and 1a for sad or merry occasions there are certain old and gaudily painted pine chests i every household to be safely drawn upon for requisite fine How the Women Folk Dres: It 18 ther their black, blue or brown woolen skirts reach the plenticude and im- measurable foldingsof the Newsnaven fish- wife or the Connemara knitter on market day.

Their big bodices,which are always open for the display through a square yoke of snowy bluits, bits of cmbroidery and monstrous silver bronc are quaintly wrought with silk, white beads, or with sil- ver and gilt, while the tremendous white caps of the murried women, winged and blaring and wide, are held in place over light woouen frames, The girls often wear ouly the Haxen head dress which opature guve thew, braided with brignt ribbons, although some will be seon with tiny boaded caps perched Jauntily upon their heads, the lrish country lussies often carry shoes and stockings to the cdge of the vi lage on market day and innocently put thei provty feet and legs into vheu at convenient halting places by the roadside, so these tnrifty Hardanger peasant women make purcols of their most precious garments and tivery und complete their amazing toilets near the place of merry making or betore entering the villagze chiurch, unconscious of observation and innocent of alarm, “Then there are the oncoming and debark- ing of passengers; the curious forms of freight landed and received; the continuous crossing und recrossing of the waters by peasant parties from valley to valley and hawlet to hamler; the touris’ crowds rush- g for inos or engaging carrioles for moun- tain tours; amiable collections of Stolkjaeres drivers with their patient ponies and their lumbering carts; deans and parsons enrouto to distant parishes; American and English hunters and fishers with their marvelous outtits and belongings, comprising every- thing save evidences of game taken, seiting out for the fields or being rowed to more promising fields of sport; grave old bonders from uplund gaarde, silent, important, wise, from good digestion, and calm gn from measureless content, making you feel that there 18 someihing substantial about Norway aside from her crags and ice; lunber owners from the city visiting the mills and seeking and sorting their logs ; engineering parties at work upon the endless tusi of bringing the valloys and fiords nearer together; geologlsis and natur- alists lunumerable, with impoverished stores of specimens, but 80 enthusiastically exuding with theories and conjectures about the glacier age and the moraines that no peace shall come until their discoveries, in ol form, finally drift to the terminal moraines of literacure, the great libraries' uubwanh‘:l shelves; and everywhere, the frenzied Wmateur photographer, pale with energy and loss of slesp, and the lean, lank, lone, ‘lora oyelst, bemt with rheumatism, PAGES, FAMOUS FI00DS OF NORWAY | humped from bronchitis and in his scant attire as incongruous a spectacto as o skirt less ballet dancer among Hiwalayan hoights. Boaotifal Vales and Giens. Through tho entire longth of the Har- danger flord and its lesser outreaching upper flords there are tho most extraordinary variety of scenory possible to find in an equal distance, Every station has its glen or cl m or wider dal. Each of these pours its river or tumultuous torrent into the flord. Where the mountains widen out into amphi- theaters, there are the circling vales fringed at the top by & horizon-line of polished or jagged rock, with a Is debris below; then a feathery rim of pine; below this the emorald of the farms, with their clustors of softened gray old struc- tures, and then the foaming river shooting from the aepths of the vale, with the whit- ish yoilow line of the mountain road beside itand following all its tortuous windings, Iy the namlet, brown and gray, at cdwo of the blue waters of the flord ch valley scenes give a sky as blue as suggestions of inaccessiblo an oights; the inisty pearline tints that in Tuscan vales like the rime of ripen grape a soft and languorous luxuriance su as half shrouds and half reveals the valleys of Cuba, and all the mellow quaintness of Notherland hamlets at one glance. Where the “station” cluster of mossy structures sets at_the mouth of shadow are cliffs not hundreds but thov above, a glitter of foam like a cameo sotting to the black backeround, and now and then far up the purpline gorgo a shaft of glitter- ing light, as if the focused beauty of somo half-hid upland dale shot for an instant be- i ching walls. Now for miles we sail between precipices from 000 to 5,000 feet in height. The silence hero 1s painful. I'rom water to sky the is neither branch of tree nor biade of grass. Not even wild fowl scream and circle here; and we are told the water beneath us is decp—deeper far than the noisy sea outside the skerries—as the crags are lofty above, Suddenly wo turn and face a vale of almost tropical beauty. Scarcely is this contemplated before our course carries our sight 1o a shore of crags with a valley line above; beyond this a feathery line of forest; than an edge of rock touched by the bright sunlight into masses of burnished bronze; and far and high be- yond isa glittering line of quivering sap- phire blue where the trackless ice fields of the Foigefond seem throbbing and pulsing their yet fadeless fires in the ghostly upper light. And s00n and on, to Odde—*‘the tonzue of land,” where you seem to have come to the edge of chaos-world; and whero the brown hamlct, low lying and backed by gorge and crag and foss and height, looks 1. from its slumbrous iuns and shops back along the blue way you camo upon one of the finest blended scenes of wave and mountand sky to be found in all our good old globe. What is truo of this grandestof all Nor- way's flords is true, in particular or in more intenso and impressive type, of Troudhjem, of Geiranger, of Sogne and of all the lesser fiords, Trondhjem shows vaster perspectives and drearier reaches of s'ght; but still possesses its measure of the wondrous versatility of Hardanger, while it seldom provides the tender valley views, Geiranger is a maze of and glens, of cataracts above louds, of precipices, cliffs and towering crags, of ha.alets upon mountains with mountains above these, and of waterfalls, highest, slenderost, fiercest and most filn, in all the world, and so great in number tha they are still unnamed and uncounted, Stupendous Sogne Fiord, The Sogne fiord cannot but be regarded as the most stupendous and often appalling continuous spectacle so far accessible to the tra in any partof the habitable globe. Itis practically a sea waterway of more than 100 miles in length, and with branches and ramifications of twice that distance split through almost solid mountain walls from 4,000 to 6,000 feet in height. Its waters are the deepest of all the Nerwegian fiords, while the shores afford infrequent anchorage. If by any wmeans the waterbed of the Sogne fiord could become dry tourists could in many places look upon almost perpendicular rocks from 8,000 to 10,000 feet above their heads. Few valleys open upon the Songe, but tremendous chasms are constantly appearing. The peasantry here huddle in almost inace sible blices, long distances apart, and move to and fro between their tiny hamlets in boats built with rude sleeping accommo- dations. At variéus places you will see bits of shelving rock, to which their boats are tied at night.

Tl Nov. 11.—Tho Iilinois Central train No. 22, due here at 1:30 this morning, was stopped at Mayfield Bridge, Ky., about eight miles south of Cairo, by five masked men, supposed to have boarded the train at Bardwell. As soon as the train stopped the robbers gained an entrance to the express carand receivel #%in cash and a valuable v g, the contents of which are not koown, The men thea jumped from the train and mado for the waods, I'ho train was in charge of Conductor Sheaer and Mossenger MoNally, voth of whom fired soveral shots at tho robbers, but without effect. No clow has been obtained as yet as to the identity of the men. The express car was robbed of two monoy packages one of which was addressed to J. S, Titus, Chicago, and the other, a bag contain- ing an unknown amount of money in tran fer from Memphis to Chicago. The expres: messenger saved the remainder of the con- tents of the safo. Second Vice President Harrahan of the Illinois Central telegeaphed word along the line to spare no money to bring tho prisoners to the penitentiary and offerod a reward. Story of the Englneor, Engineer Clark makes the followins state- mont: “Three men climbed over the tank while we were leaving Bardwell. One of them said: ‘Mr. Clark, pull outas soon as youcan.' Grabbing my left arm and pulling out 1 iber Colt's revolver aud placing tho weapon to my ear he told me to do wl they wanted done; that they would kill me if I did not obey. About that vime Fireman Butler ran away and got on the pilot of the engine. I went to get down and put in some coal, but they would not allow me to got off my seat. One of the rob- bers did the firing for us from Bardwell to Fort Jefferson. They told me to stop the express car at Mayfield trestle. T told them 1 had passed a train at Bardwell, and 1 in- sisted upon asking them to let ' me put a flagman off w protect the rearend of the ain, They refused to do so, but 1 insisted, claiming that I was afraid of the freight running iato us when we stopped at ayfield tre: They made me got off the engine and go in front of them to the express car door, and they told me to open the door. I called MeNeel ana told him to open up and uot shoot, as I was in front of the robbers, Oneof them went into the express car and me out with several bundles and put them into a heavy saci. Very Cool About It. “He told me to pick up the dynamite on the platform of the car, which Idid, and put it into the sack. They then had me get on the engine and carry them to Iort Jeff son, because they wanted to get off at the stove facto hey got off on the east side, about twenty yards from the road crossing at Fort Jefferson. They got behind some piling and told me to pull out fast, Iasked them if they wero going to bother the pas: sengers. They told me no. The robbers rried double-barreled shot guns, with pis- pistol grips. Two of them also had ten-inch Colt revolvers, while the other nada fi inch Colt.” Opinions differ as to the amount of money contained in the valuable packa secured, The express officials suy the cousignment nsisted of $7,000, but this Mr, Harrahan is inclined to doubt. The only man who knows exactly what was in the pa ge is the Tlli- nois Central agent av Memphis, who con- signed it to Chicago, and his report probably will not be made public. The officials of the express and railvoad companies have no fault to find on account of the surrender of the trainmen. TIn fact they are rather pleased that McNeel concealed all of the val- uabdle packages he could in the short time of waraing that he had. But few of the p: sengers of the train were aware of the rob- bery.
