e . ————— COSSIP CF THE GRIDIROY Reflections on the Great Game Played at| Springfield Saturday Afternoon. | OUTCOME CF MANY MONTHS' TRAINING | Harvard Showed by Far the Hetter Game, but Yale's Proverbial 1 Kk Was with the Bloes—Injuries Not So | Nerlous as Reported. | In one of the hardest, and, despite the score, one of the closest games the two col leges have ever played, Yale defeated Harvard last Saturday by the score of 12 to 4. Every | thletics during | one who has followed Yale past years has been impressed with the| idea that the so-called Yale luck fs no myth, | and the game on Saturday would tend to| strengthen that ide The first touchdown made by Yaie In the first halt was a fluke of the veriest kind. Hickok drove the ball on the opening kick to the ten-yard line in front of Haryard’s goal pusts, and Charlie Brewer started immediately to the right, and reached the twenty-yard line before he downed, Wrightington then dropped back for a punt, but Stillman broke through on him and blocked the kick. The ball bounded from | vas his chest and rolled across the line. S ill- | man followed it up and fell upon it, scoring a touchdown. Of course it was a pretty play, but it must be 1in the nature of a fluke. with the ball on consider other time, five-yard fine, Iairchild tried for from the field from the thirty-fve line. The ball sailed straight for the goal cross bar squarely i | the center. It bounded buck into the fel and there was a scramble for it. A Hai- vard guard got it and was rushing it ovet the goal line when the refer whistle blew. The play was not allowed. Again, just as the linesman was calling out that the time of the half had expird, Fairchild kicked a goal from the field. Thi was not allowed. and Harvard had satisfied with the score of 12 to combination of fortunate occu more to do with Yale's victory playing. Harvard played a than her opponent. an old-fashioned style open kicking game until t posts and struck th to 1 mo game le confined herself to f game, It was an st part of the second half, when she successfully used the revolving wedge. Harvard used more mas; plays, the formation of Waters, and gometimes Mackic ne the backs being tried continually and suc- cessfully. Several times the Criss-cross was used, and with success. The flying inter- ference was used only once, and that by Harvard, with a s ain. The attack was directed by both , usually against | the tackles and ends, the few atfempts at the center being unsuccessful DIRTY, ROUGH PLAYING, There was an unusual amount of offside play and fouling by both the teams. The game throughout was very rough, and this axplaing the 1. number of injured. Much of this was d to the bad feeling betwee the two elevens, which started with qu vels in the line. The worst injured man w Wrightington, wh collar bhone W Vroken by being ith the ball, Kleq being said that was jumped on Hinkey after he lown. None of tne injured, however, vard's hest play in the game. Yale's disasters did not com until toward the se of the 1 halt Tndividually, Hinkey probably distin- guished him most, doing the greates part of Yal tackling, and in the second half making ex ordinary. plunges in the center. Harvard's one touchdown, however, Was made around his end. Butterworth punting, while he staved on the field, was very fine. After he rétired Thorne also did some good Kicking. In fact, Yale was orced o do a great deal more kicking than had been antieipated. Louis Hinkey played hig end remarkably well, most of the gains being made around his broth For Harvard, Fairchild did the b arpund | work, efpecially his kicking., Hayes also did well, particul secondtouchdown was directly the r y his_punting.

OMAHA, Nov. 20.—To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: As a spectator, will you kindly allow me the space in your valuable paper to tell my version of the recent foot ball game between Couneil Bluffs High school and Creighton university. In the first place, It was stated thut the Hluffs team was con- 'siderably lighter than Creighton, while it was plainly evident to any observer that the ‘weight' was all In favor of Council Bluffs, not only In the line, but also behind it, and, secondly, concerning the players, it is well known that the Council Bluffs ele played a b its rules, or of impartial Crelghton nowledge of the game and at least made some pret y In his rulings. As it w received but the shabbiest kind of treatinent at his hands, and would have left the field, but rather than disappoint their friends fubmitted to some of the rank- est decisions ever made on a ball field, whis Council Bluffs received all that they' ask for,and much more t to.* ond h d an they were entitled As an instance of this, during the see. with the score 4-0 in her favor, Creighton 1 the ball down to Councii Blufs ard line, and would cer- y have made a touchdown, when the ire, claiming that a Council ‘Bluffs man wrongfully held, ordered the ball brought back to the cénter and given to the Blufts. Tt was then that Council Bluffs touchdown, and it certalnly ap. the umpire was doing all in h power d them.

This s certainly one of the strangest cases that has ever come. up in Iowa, and the outcome will be awaited with much interest. DOANE CC LE C WS, What the studgnts Have Heen Dolng the Past Week. CRETE, Neb., Nov. 25.—(Special)—On the 17th inst. the freshmen foot ball team was beaten by the academy of Doane college by a score of 2 to 8. It was a good game to watch, but the “cads” had the heavier line. Monday evening Miss Grace Barragar opened her home to her classmates, the juniors, and a very pleasant tea Is reported. Miss Maude Andrews, '95, also poured tea for her class mates at her home. Both gatherings were broken up in time to attend the faculty lecture at the Congregational church. Rev. J. E. Brereton of Geneva, for- merly financial agent of the college, spoke to a large audienca on “What Nebraska is Doing for Incorrigible Children to Keep Them from Lives of Crime.” The work of the Industrial schools at Geneva and Kearney was graphically explained. Prof. King, director of the conservatory, is drilling his chorus choir on Mozart's Twelfth Mass, which will soon be ready for presenta- tion, Although Whitin libfary has been occu- pled for about two weeks, the formal opening and house warming was held Friday after- noon and evening. Everything was neat as a new pin and from 3 until 9:30 the mem- bers of the faculty were very pleasantly en- gaged in pointing out the modern features of the building and furnishings to a contin- uous stream of friends from the city and vi- cinity. File rooms, reading rooms, library proper, offices, armory and gymnasium, in short, the whole building, was brilliantly {luminated and thronged with enthusiastic admirers. As a pleasant souvenir of the oc- casion, each visitor was given a handsome half tone engraving of the library. The offi- cial count shows that 481 visitors came and went. > The hottest class foot ball game of the season was played Saturday, sophomores against juniors and seniors. Hard playing, with little fumbling on either side, failed to net yards for each team alike and when time was called the pigskin was still inside the prescribed limits, from which it had not been save into touch.

W. Kifk! a traveling man from Phil- adelphia, who was sitting in the rotunda cf the Merchants hotel last night. 1 have just returned from' the southern part of Dakota, which I havé pretty thoroughly traversed by team since the middle of last June. Prairie schooners by the hundred, almost, have been leaving the country for Arkansas, Missouri and other southern states. An average of fifteen of these wagons are passing through B1k Point alone daily. The great majority of the emigrating people are going to Arkansas Before making my trip through Dakota I passed through that state, also by, team, and 1 must say that there is plenty of room for them. The greater portion is yet a wilder- ness, and has a long way to go before it reaches the civilization of surrounding states. The people in the towns are fairly intelligent, but the country folks are very ignorant, There are so few railroads that they cannot keep in touch with the outer world. In the heart of the country it is very hard to obtain directions to the point which you may wish to reach. You may meet a resident of the very town you ary heading for, and if you ask him how far it fs to the place, he will an- swer: ‘Waal, it is a right smart distance.’ Then he will ask you who you are, where you are from, what your business is, how long you will be in the country, and a hun- dred and one similar questions. When they have been answered satisfactorily, he wiil probably wind up by asking you to eat supper and stay at his house all night. The one re- deeming characteristic of these people Is their hospitality. Of course theso remarks only apply to the inhabitants who live in the very heart of the country, many of whom have never seen a rallroad, or an engine. Arkansas is a fairly good state to settle in. The eastern portion is a very fine timber country, being covered with forests of pine. The marshy lands are used for cotton planta- tions, all of which are large. The western part of the state is mountainous, especially the northern portion. It is in this district that the most ignorant class of people live, or rather exist. I see by the newspapers that the northwestern part of Arkansas and the southwestern part of Missouri are being frequently visited by robbers from the terri- tory this fall. They have a habit of entering a town In a band, cleaning out a bank and then skipping out on the stolen horses. Trav- cling men who go through the country by team occasionally meet these gentlemen, and are compelled to deliver over all their valua- bles, but that misfortune has never happened to me."” Dr. Dorris of Falls City, who has been in the city at the organization of the Missour) Valley Homeopathic soclety, and stopped at the Mercer, told of an incident that occurred on the train on which he was traveling. It was on the Missouri Pacific. At Hiawatha, Kan., information was received by the train officlals that the train would be held up somewhere on the line, probably in a long and deep cut just outside of Falls City. A goodly number of deputies were taken on board at one of.the stations, all of whom were amply suppjled with firearms. All the passengers were In a state of great excite- ment as the cut was approached, and the faces of the ideputies began to blanch. But nothing of the reported robbers was either heard or seen, apd the train safely reached this city. Thg crowd that got off at the depot wore a very relieved Jook. “I have segn a good many queer incidents during the course of my experience on the road,” remarked a, traveling man at the Mil- lard, “but the only time I ever saw a real case of scasickness on a railroad train was mbout three years ago. Yes, it is something of a paradox,,but It was genuine seasick- ness, for I hadi4he word of a physician who was on the trdinds It occurred on the Balti- more, & Ohiti*adlroad’ on a train that was descending the emstern slope of the Alleghany mountains. We were behind time, and we were going down -those mountains like a streak of greased lightning, without stop- ping for curves. The cars were swaying almost continually from side to side, and when they were not doing that, they were ap- parently pitching forward, and sometimes the motions were combined. I tell you it was pretty hard on the nerves and stomach. One woman in the car, especially, seemed to have difficulty in keeping the contents of her stomach in their proper place. I have trav- eled on shiphoard, and I don’t believe that I ever saw a sicker or more miserable woman. Sho was sick until she reached the level, when she rapidly recovered. I didn’t blame m-lr‘ much, for I was feeling a bit queer my- selt." ‘In my knockings about the country in my business I have been in pretty nearly every state in the union,” said a traveling man at the Dellone yesterday, “and I have met all sorts and conditions of weather, but I believe Kansas takes the plum for sudden changes and for all around meanness. I was in a little town in the central portion of the state several years ago. It was one day about tho middle of the springtime. When I got up in the morning it was so cold that I de- cided that I would take a day off. There was no hotel fn the place and I was stopping at a private house. The people had two stoves and they were both red hot, but I stood there shaking like a leaf from cold. It began to grow warmer, not steadily, for T feel certain the thermometer jumped up four or five degrees at a time. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the fires in the stoves were put out and the doors of the house had to be opened. The snow that was on the ground was melting at a 2:40 gait. You may think that this {8 a pretty good yarn, but I tell you that it is the solemn truth, nothing more or less. The winds that blow in the summer time down there cannot be beaten anywhere in the world, I do believe. Have you ever been in the furnace room down in the hold of an ocean steamer? Well, I have, and I tell you that is not an equal to Kan- sas when those gentle summer zephyrs are blowing. Al kinds of vegetation are burned up. Nobody can tell me about the soroccos of the Desert of Sahara, because I believe that the winds of Kansas can throw them into the shade.” | Charles Hedges of. Washingion, D.

[NTHE CRAND ARMY OF LABOR How Local Knights Celebrated the Twenty- Fifth Anniversary of the Order, BANQU:T FCLLOWS SPEECHES AND SONGS Impotus Given to Movemen All Labor Orgunizations at Orleans Meeting for Unlon of the New specting Denver Convention, The celebration given Saturday in Kniights of Labor hall by the Knights of Labor in honor of the fifth anniversary of the order will evening Omaha twenty long be remembered by those in attendance. In the afternoon District Master Work- man Cohen and Secretary Nelson, together with several lady members of the order, met at the hall to make arrangements for the supper. Al of the good things to eat were donated by the members and were to be delivered at the hall during the afterncon. Roast turkey, roast chicken, bread, cakes, ples, pickles, fruit and almost everything imaginable good to eat began to come in by the basketful about 4 o'clock, and the committee on arrangements did good work in preparing it for the table. At 8 o'clock ex-District Master Workman Mrs. J. M. Kenney called the meeting to order and the program was opened with a song by the members of Working Girl's assembly No. 3,633, Mr, D. Clem Deaver delivered an address, in which he reviewed briefly the history of the Knights of Labor from the start until the present time. Utiah Stephens, the founder, was a reformer with the right idea, and the speaker was sorry that the achievements of the order had not been greater, as its tendency was for the good of mankind. During the life of the founder of the order he had been closely assoclated with Abraham Lincoln and other good men of that day. He was a close personal and political friend of Willlam H. Seward and John C. Fremont, and was one of Lincoln’s advisers during the greater part of his public life. He saw the benefis to be derived by the small tradesmen and working people uniting in a fraternal and economic order like the Knights of Labor. For several years the order worked in perrect secrecy, and it was questionable whether it would not have been better if it had continued along the same line. The first principle of the order, “To make moral and industrial worth, not wealth, the true standard of individual and national greatness,” was commented upon by the speaker at length. The next number on the program was a well rendered recitation by Mrs. Fritz, after which T. C. Kelsey gave a short talk on “The Future of the Order.” The working people should awake to the fact that some- thing was wrong, and could only be set aright by the intelligent use of the ballot. The Knights of Labor, the speaker said, was an educational order, and he predicted that i teachings on economical theories would be accepted by the people of the country. Mrs. M. R. Huntington then sang a song, entitled, ““When My Husband is Away." Samuel D. Nedrey was introduced and in- dorsed the principles of the Knights of Labor. He belleved the tendency of the order was toward the uplifting of man and to further establish_equality among men. Its teachings were endorsed by the leading minds of the country, and if the order prospered for twenty-five years more it would assist in making many changes for the better. Miss Clara Dopson delivered a beautiful recitation, and a pretty little child, Myrtle Huse, captured the audience with a recita- tion entitled, “Mamma is My Friend.” This concluded that part of the entertain- ment, and the hall was cleared for dancing, which was kept up until late. Supper was announced at 11 o'clock and was served in the small hall. Taken all in all, this was considered the grandest enter- tainment ever given by the Knights of Labor in this city. FOR GENERAL CONSULIDATION. yet Question of the Unlon of All Organizations Again Brought Up. The expression of the Knights of Labor In the general assembly meeting at New Or- leans favorable to a union of all the labor organizations of the Unjted States brings the question of confederation more forcibly before the unions than ever before, and it is quite probable that the settlement of it at the Denver meeting of the American Fed- eration of Labor will have considerable to do with the selection of the president of that body. Mr. Samuel Gompers, who has held this position for years, has heretofore opposed the plan of a general union, believing it to be fmpracticable, but it appears from what he has said during the past year that his closo call for re-election at the last meeting of the Federation has somewhat changed his opinion upon thai question, and since he has learned that tho sentiment of the rank and file of all the unions is decidedly favorable to the general union, it is belleved he wil espouse the cause at the opening of the Denver me ing, which may materially aid in his r election. It is well known in Omaha that Delegate Beerman, who will represent the Omaha workingmen at the Denver meeting in December, is decidedly in favor of the confederation of all organlzations of labor. It was largely through his efforts that the Central Labor unfon of Omaha was main- tained upon the present lines of organization, which show no preference to members of any of the great 'labor organizations. It Is ex- pected by the Omaha workers that Mr. Beer- man will support no one for president of the American Federation of Labor who does not advocate the union of labor in all de- partments upon a plan of perfect equality. In speaking of the former actions of Mr. Gompers upon this important question one of the members of the Central Labor union sald to a Bee reporte “I do not blame Mr. Gompers in the least for the action he has heretofore taken, This question, as well as many other labor ques- tions, is & mooted one, and if Mr. Gompers had acted differently in the past respecting it the chances are he would have been sat upon by the rank and file. The working people | as a rule will not stand by a leader who tries to go too fast, but they like a leader who follows instead of leading. In my own mind I doubt very much yet if the time Is ripe for a union of all the forces of labor, but if the meeting at Denver favors it I feel well satisfled that it can be carried out. However, I am sure that Mr. Gompers has always upon this question done the right thing at the right time. We are not yet really ready for the consummation of the union which may In time result in great | good to the working people. When the | workers are educated in favor of a general union great good will come of it. There is no reason why a cigar maker should not be bound to purchase union goods in all other | departments of trade in return for the | purchasing by other workmen of union made | cigars, as is done by all good union men, and in many ways the various trades can be of great benefit to each other.” 1t is only in recent years that central labor | unlons have been formed, which now exist in | nearly all, It not all, large cities in the United States, and the growing sentiment that all labor should come under one head | 18 in reality the outgrowth of the agitation which first started in the forming of central labor unions in labor centers of population where the allied trades were so closely and intimately connected. Labor Organizations Not Anarchistic. John B. Lennon, secretary of the Journey- men Tailors Union of America, says: ‘“‘Labor organizations of the United States are repeat- edly charged with belng anarchistic n thelr tendencles. As a representative of labor or ganizations 1 brand this as absolutely false. I regret, however, to have to say that some members of the labor organizations at times glve expression to opinions that are certainly contrary to law and order and are practi- cally the doctrines of anarchy. Such expres slons are injurious to the cause of organized labor and should be frowned upon by every thoughtful, henest member of labor or- ganizatios We stand for good government and a just and equitable administration of | Total pr but also contrary of our unfons." Upon the same subject Thomas Crouchley, ex-president of the Clothing Cutters’ union, says: “The very Idea that anarchy has any- thing in the common with labor organizations 18 preposterous. Anarchists propose to do away with governments, with law and order, whiie the labor organizations propose to im- prove government, to make it better and more equitable to live under. We show our interest in the welfare of the government by taking an active part In political govern monts and campaigns, while the anarchists never vote at all and pay no attention to politics. The influence already exercised by labor organizations in favor of good govern- ment has been marked and if I mistake not the work of the labor organizations will yet be appreciated by the public i, M Al TROUBLE SETWEEN NEGROES One Canses the Charg Bill Johnson, a arrested yesterda of being Johnson 18 suspected of having sot fire to the house ocoupled by Charles Fears at Thirteenth and Valley strects a few nights ago. The house Arveat of Tne saddle-colored afternoon suspicious chari o nain Anothe on negro, was on the charge a ter. was nearly burned down, and Fears lost almost everything he had in the world The fire started in the upper story of the house, which part was not occupled. The stove was in the basement. All the lamps had been carefully put out several hours before the fire broke out, which occurred at about 1 o'clock. All the circumstances pointed to Incendiarism. On the day after the fire Johnson asked Fears if he sus- pected him of having set the house on fire. This question set Fears to thinking, and he finally decided that for various reasons he did suspect Johnson, and he so notified the police. The reasons that brought Fears to his decision are somewhat interesting. About nine years ago Johnson was work- ing in Grand Tsland. There he met a Swede girl. They evidently fell in love with each other, for they went to living together, but without the formality of marriage: In the course of time they came to this city and lived in the south part of town, near Thir- teenth and Valley streets. The woman was not treated very well by Johnson, but she continued to live with him until some three months ago. Since his arrival in this city he has been in jail several times, but always for small offenses. About three months ago he was arrested for stealing a watch and was sent to the county jail. The woman decided that this was the last straw and commenced to live with another negro, Charles Fears. When Johnson got out of jail about six weeks ago he found the two living together, and he threatened to kill Fears at the first opportunity, He bought a revolver and started out on the war trail, but before he could accomplish his purpose he was ar- rested for carrying concealed weapons. He was discharged and remained quiet, but was watching for a chance to get even with ars. About a week ago he heard that ars was going to move into the heart of the city. On the day before the intended removal the house was set on fire. The police think that Johnson came to the c clusion that it he wanted to get even had better do it before the removal, therefore set fire to.the house. he and Fears and the woman wers married in Council Bluffs about a month ag NO BREAK IN Cap of Mount Tacoma Gives No ot Eruption TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 25.—The clouds lifted this morning, leaving Mount Tacoma In sight. A thick cap, presumably a vapor, appeared over the mountain for a time, but at 4:30 had entirely disappeared. No break in the crater was visible from here. Dr. Culver, local weather observer, thinks the s of a vapor and mist, such as f cap wi quently collects about the mountain, an Not smoke or steam.
