GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF TJIE DAI
New Hates-, Conn., Nor. 7. Prince
ton's defeat by the University of Pennsyl
vania Saturday need not, as was claimed by
many newspapers to-day, result in the an
nual Thanksgiving Dav game at Seiv York
next year being played between Yale and
the University of Pennsylvania. The
Intercollegiate Association constitution
says that "the two leading colleges of the
preceding year shall pHy in or near New
York," but it does not name the date of the
leaders came as at any particular time.
It is the current l'celin,' at Ynle that Yale
will not play the University of Pennsyl
vania at that date next year. "
Princeton's defeat is deeply regretted by
Yale, but the feeling is almost universal
here that by it Princeton has shown itself
merely a second rate football college. A
revival of the rejected dual athletic leatrue
with Harvard is thought of by Yale, and if
once more proposed by Harvard it would
probably be accepted by Yale. The feeling,
too, tends toward the belief that the pres
ent Intercolleiiate Football Association
has about outlived its uselulr.ess, and it
would not be surprising if it were entirely
dissolved at the close of this year, or at
least if Yale were to withdraw.
SAITJEDAVS FOOTBALL GAME.
The Interest Increasing; Rapidly as the
DajsGoBy.
The Interest in the pamc of football to be
Played on Saturday afternoon between the
A. A. A. and 1. A. C elevens grows rapidly
intense. There has been a big demand for
tickets, space lor vehicles and lor theboxes,
the consequence being that very little but
tho tickets of admission is lert unengaged.
There will bo no i eserved scats except those
inthcboxoi and these liavo already been
engaged. The seating capacity of the grand
stand is placed between 1,500 and 2,000 and it
is expected that most of this will be taKen
up by ladies whilo tho gentlemen will lino
upazainst the ropes on tho ground. It is
possible that tho demand for admission
tickets will be so large berore hand that it
will bo lo-.nd necessary -to put in some
raised seats, at least it is honed that snob,
will be the cae. To-dav the admission tickets-will
be placed on sale nt Al Pratt's on
W oou street, the Duqnesne Hotel, Eoymer
Bros.' and McBride's diugstotc at the Alle
gheny market house.
Both teams will put in a larjre portion of
the weeK at practice, each with a view of
winning. Neither desires to score another
tie and each realizes that it has to do its
best to win. Today the A. A. A. will play
at Beaver Falls with Genera College, and it
is possible that on Thursday a practice
game mav be had with the vt"estorn Uni
versity. Tho 1. A. Q will continuo their
practice at tnc gymnasium. .Last week the
I'. A. C., besides the game with the S ate
College team, met for practice but once, ana
some 01 too members of the team weie not i
in the best of condition last Satnrrlns- This I
weeit, uowever, tuey will train more con
Bcientiousiy. it will do agreatgatne.
3HE COLTJKBIAS TIE AQAIIT.
This Time They Score Vfliile Against tho
A. A. A.'s They Didn't,
Washington, D. C, Nov. 7. Special. To
day the Columbia Athletic Club eleven tied
the score with the Rutgers. This is the sec
ond tie the Columbias have made this sea
son, the first being with the A. A. A.'s, or Al
legheny. The score was G to G.
Sanford Laid Out.
New II.ven, Nov. 7. Georgo E. Sanford,
the big left guard of the Yale University
football eleven, broke one of the bones of
his anklo at the 1 eeular practice ot the team
this afternoon. He will be unable to play
any more this year. A. M. Beard, a sopho
more. Is likely to be chosen to fill tno vacant
place.
CHICAGO HAT GET If.
Strong Prospects That the Amateur Rowing
Kegatta Will Be In the West.
Chicago, Nov. 7. Although the movement
inaugurated by the Iroquois CI nbof this city
to bring the regatta of National Association
of Amateur Oarsman to Chicago next sum
mer instead of Syracuse is not meeting with
the enthusiastic support of nostern louing
organizations, it is making good headway.
Some proless to believe that tao Iroquois
Club cannot successfully handlu ,uch a big
affair as the 1S93 meeting is sure to be, uut
club members arc confident that they can
manage tho meeting in good shape. On tho
lace of it the task looks to be impossible, lor
it is known that t hoi c is no: a body of water
within a icasonable distance of Chicago
which combines all the features w hich go to
make a regatta not only :i Miccess, but a
possibility. Lincoln Pearl cotuso was dis
cussed and found to be altogether out of the
question. There lemnined but one, and that
l..e body of nutor most dreaded In Aiuetica
Calumet Lake, off Pullman. Shallow nnd
lull of weeils Using nearly to the surlace, it
lias proved in past regattas the pitf.tll of
many an ambitious sculler whose chances for
a win weiegood until he cot his oars into the
holding mes immediately below the surface.
Btrilng this tatal detriment Pullman might
be called an Ideal regatta town.
Several meetings were arranged between
the Pullman people and those of Chicago
who are interested in the general associa
tion with the result that the latter wero as
sured control ot Athletic Island, which con
tains the grand stands overlooking the
course it they could mine the money neces
sary to dredge tho course deep enough to
make fast rowing a possilulty. Figures
weie obtained and it as Inuud that a chan
nel 500 leet wide and one nnd one-half miles
long couiii uo nreagea at a maximum
cost of $G,000. DeWitt G. Cregler, Jr., the
leading bpii it in the movement, has obtained
a piomise ol $3,000 from a millionaire of this
city, said to be George II. Pullman himself,
winch practically puts the matter in shape
to present to tho meeting of the board of
directors of the National Association.
If tno course can bo put in proper shape
nnd nssuratices are made by engineers that
it can next year will see tho greatest gath
ering of amateur oarsmen ever held in this
country. The Mississippi valley, the North
western and tno Chicago navy regattas
would all precede the national champion
ships, which will be given at Chicago to a
certainty if the present plans are carried
out, and tbeieis no good reason why they
should not be.
PAID THE NOTES.
Another Slice of the Indianapolis Surrender
Money Is Given Up.
Philadelphia, Nor. 7. The noto of the
National League ana the American Associa
tion of Professional Baseball Clubs for $6,SCG,
given to George W. Wagnor in part paymeut
of the purchase money, to tbo Athletio
club, went to protest on the 5th instant.
Several ciubs were under tbo impression
tbat the note was not due until tho 10th. To
day President Young paid the note.
On Saturday President Young paid tho
notes maturing to the late Association clubs
of Boston and Columbus, although it was
thought advisable ut the recont League
meeting to have these notca, aggregating
$1.1.000. renewed until next year. Bather than
have It that way, mauy of the clubs have
since paid thorn. The League has thus lar
paid 90,000 of its indebtedness of $135,000.

DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT.
Parson Davies Has That Opinion About
James J.Corbctt.
New Tore, Nov. 7. SprciaL An early
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad brought
Cbatlesll Davies to this city from Phila
delphia yesterday. His mission was to turn
into cash the J4.O0J check given to Joe Choyn
skl lor his performance at the Coney Island
Athletic Club last Monday night. He had no
difficulty in accomplishing this. Almost the
fir.-t man he met was Judge Newton, of the
Coney Island Athletic Club, who proceeded
to fix up the matter in short order. Tlio
"Parson" has been with Peter Jackson since
Tuesday, when tho Australian beiran a five
nights' engagement at a Quaker City theater.
Peter has al ays been a grtut drawing card
and Davies averts th.11 ho is attracting
larger houses now than any pugilist ever
did, barSulllvan. As to Jim Corbett's state
ment yesterday to tiie effect th.it ho would
not light Jackson in beptembci, Davies had
this to say.
"Coibett is having pretty much his own
way nowadays, and it is only natuial that
he should have, after eonquenn the mighty
man irom jtoston. xnis victory win long uo
lemcmbcred by Americans, and Corbett ill
doubtle.-s make considerable money In his
now play. It is evident, however, that ho
doesn't want to fignt, and he cau no longer
pose as America's oiiampiou unless ho
changes his mind about some of the things
ho said last uhflit. Jackson Is very anxious
to kCt 011 a light witu Lorbetr, but lie can
hold oil J list as long as the other lellow can.
A man in Chicago, I am told, has ottered to
put up 11 theater near the Woild's Fair
grouuus and install C01 bett in it as a perma
nent star. I have my doubts us to whether
such un enterprise would yioldanyalaimini;
profits, but, should the Call toruian continue
to letnse Jackson a mutch, I shall certainly
put up a theater next door to tne one he will
occupy and show Jackson theie.
"Peter has no intention of claiming any
championship by default. Theio is abso
lutely nothing in that sort of thing. This
was proven in the case of Kilraln, but lie
does uant to fight Tor the title, and irom the
looks of things that is more than can be said
of Coibett,"
A Challenge to Dixon.
Tho following challenge was received at
this offlco last evening: "I.the undersigned,
will shoot John Dixon a live pigeon match
under tuu following rules: To shoot at 15
birds each three-quarters ounce of shot;
eacu shooter to furnish birds tor his' oppo
nent; nun below elbow until bird is 011 the
wing: SI yards rise and 00 fall. This contest
Is to bo for $50 aside and to tako placo Nov
ember 20, at llomenood Driving Park. I will
meet Mr. Dixon at The DisrATcn November
12 at 8 o'clock p. M., to sign articles and put
upafbifelt, II. L, Wilkinson,
Oakdale fetation, Pa."
Slcelly on Deck Again.
New York, Nov. 7. SuccioZ Jack Skelly
called at The Illustrated A'ews ofllco to-day
nnd stated that lip would liko to get on a
match n 1th some one. Skelly declared tnat
he was out ot the fighting business for good
nfter his defeat by Georgo Dixon, but now
he has changed his mind and will continue
to be a pugilist. "I don't want to make
ciacks against any particular person or per
sons," he said, " but I'll light any man who
will emtio forward at irom US to 125 pounds.
I've got good backing and will bet any part
of $2,500 that I will win."

THE WORLD'S OLDEST HERBABIU1I.
Its Contents Said to Fnrnisli Proof That
Egypt's Weather Js Unchanged.
Gatden and Fores t.J
The oldest herbarium in the world is in
the Egyptologist Museum at Cniro, and
consists of an inconspicuous collection of
dried portions of plants. These portions
of plants and flowers were taken from
wreaths and garlands in the coffins with
mummies, where they were placed by the
ancient Egyptians as death offerings, and
from edible plants which were set in
earthen vessels on the floor of the sepulchre
as furniture of the last resting place ol
their beloved ones.
Many of these floral remains are so well
preserved that, after being treated with
warm water, they can be handled like mod
ern r-rbarium specimens. The colors, too,
are preserved in a remarkable way. The
most important matter iu connection with
these plants is their ae. The remains of
funeral food are found in tombs as far
back as 3,000 years before Christ. Five
hundred years later grains of mustard seed,
capsules of flaxseed, gourds, lentils, beans,
figs, pine needles, juniper berries, and
other edibles arc louud. The richest ac
quisitions in leaves and flowers to the her
barium were made from the tombs con
structed between the eighteenth and
eleventh centuries, B. C.
Among the flowers chiefly employed in
the floral decorations lor the dead were the
blue and white lotus, the red poppy, the
Oriental hollyhock, crown chrysanthemum,
safflower, pomegranate flowers, willow
leaves, grasses, and peppermint. Celery
leaves came into requisition later, and
onions, leeks, and garlic played an import
ant part-in the offerings to the dead. One of
thegeneral conclusions drawn from this her
barium is that Egypt has sustained no appre
ciable climatic changes during the last 4,000
years.
GEOWTH OF THE OYSTEE,
By Looking nt the Shell Yon Can Tell the
Age of the Blvale.
Pearson's Weekly.
The oyster at the commencement of its
career Is so smail that 2,000,000 would only
occupy a square inch. In six months each
individual oyster is large enough to cover
half-a-crowu, and in 12 months a crown
piece. The oyster is its own architect, and
the shell grows as the fish inside'grows. be
ing never too small.
It also bears its age upon its back, and it
is as easy to tell the age of an oyster by
looking at its shell as it is that of horses by
looking at their teeth. Every one who has
handled an oyster-shell must have noticed
the successive layers overlapping each
other.
These are technically termed shots, and
each one marks a year's growth, so that bv
counting them the age of the oyster can
be determined. Up to the time of its matu
rity that is, when four years of age the
shot are regular and successive; but after that
time they become irregular and are piled
one upon another, so that theirshell becomes
bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have
been seen ot which cacli shell was nine
inches thick, whence they may be judged to
be more than 900 vears old.
One to 2,000,000 are produced from a
single parent, and their scarcity is accounted
tor by the fact that man is not the only
oyster-eating animal. The starfish love's
the oyster, and preys npon it unceasingly.
A variety of whelk is also very fond of
young oysters, to get at which it bores right
through the shell and sucks the fish up
through the hole thus made.

At a moment when the public are inter
ested in the present condition and destina
tion of Carlyle s house in Cheyne row, the
announcement comes that the estate is for
sale on which is Somersby Rectory, the
birthplace of the Poet Laureate. The "old
rectory," as it is now termed, has ceased to
be the rectory of the parish; the lord.of the
manor having, by an arrangement with the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, given in ex
change for it a house in the adjoining parish
of Bag Enderby. To Tennyson-lovers it is
a place of great interest, though it is to be
feared that the pilgrims are not, after all,
so very numerous, "Hither wandering
down." Arthur Hallam enjoyed the "cooler
air" of the garden and the lawn, shaded by
witch elms that still remain; but the shape
of the lawn has been altered, and "the pop
lars four that stand by my father's door"
are no longer in existence! The references
in "In Memoriam" to the landscape around
sre numberless.

The parsonage, a picturesque two-storied
house, with steep tiled roof 'and a gable,
under which is the window ot the poet's
earnest worKsnop, came into tne possession
of his father in 1808, a year before the birth
of his illustrious son, and owes to him the
addition of a large room, which was built
in the not-too-well comprehended Gothic of
the period, and has a very ecclesiastical ex-tenor.

A lanre and iashionable audience gave
Kichard Mansfield a very hearty welcome '
at the Alvin Theater last night. "Beau
Brumraell" was the play. If anything the
performance was more polished than ever,
nnd the central figure, thanks to Mr. Mans
field's constant care of little things, nearer
perfection as a study of character. The de
gree to which this lemarkable actor has
elaborated a by no means complex charac
ter is as wonderful as it is admirable.
The artificial side of the immortal dandy,
his buckram of airs and graces, is
Mr. Mansfield's especial study, and for that
reason, perhaps, we like him best when ho
is unnatural, when the theatrical tricks of
mirror and perfection of the fashion over
shadow the heart of the man. Beiore the
glass with the pomatum pot handy and the
perfumery everywhere, Beau Bmmmcll is
natural in his very unnatnralness. It
is when this thing of stays and vapid man
ners, this prettv plaything of the court,
shows a sensibility and warmth of heart
that would do credit to any real man, that
Mr. Mansfield is not always so satisfactory.
Yet there is genuine pathos in that
last imaginary banquet over which the
wretched exile presides, and as in the
cheerier atmosphere of the first three acts
Mr. Mansfield devotes himself to the per
fection ot detail with excellent results.
Take, for instance, the point where the
Bicnt sends his snuflbox to the King, nnd
empties the snufF into a paper cup how
carefully the poor wretch sweeps up every
grain of the precious stuff, even dusting the
side of his hands and his finger tips. This
is art ot the highest order, and in its prac
tice the ability and will to take infinite
pains are the chief causes of Mr. Mansfield's
success. The audience was liberal in its
applause and curtain calls were numerous.
In the support W. J. Ferguson as usual
stands out. He is an admirable actor; keep
ing always his proper plaoe in the per
spective, simply sincere always, and so
most effective. The Beau would lose much
of his attractiveness without such a valet.
Miss Beatrice Cameron was daintily sweet
in her accustomed role, but the part is a
trifle merely. The rest of the cast were
satisfactory, Miss Kate Lester making a
remarkably handsome JIfr, St. Aubyn.
To-night the new play "The Scarlet
Letter" will be given.
The Gossoon at the Dnqnesne.
A wholesome, pretty play is "The Gos
soon," in which Mr. Carroll Johnson once
more presented himself to a large Pittsburg
audience at the Duqucsne last night He
has such an engaging manner, such a
sweet voice, and such a genu
inely Irish turn of humor that the
people have no trouble in getting on inti
mate terms with him. As the harmless
but rattle-brained broth of a ooy in the
play he is decidedly a pleasant figure. The
play on the whole is well acted and nicely
staged. Miss Olive Martin as Rose O'Con
nell and Miss Clara Knote as AnaUl Gray
were very pleasing, and Messrs. Desmond,
Dempsey and King were also acceptable.
A large audience applauded everything

The Police Patrol at the Grand.
The "gods" in the gallery and the ladies
in the parquet, in the Grand Opera House
last night, joined forceB in expressing their
most emphatic verdict in favor ot the per
formance. It was no ordinary applause
that rung through the house, but yell after
yell, and handclap after handclap, made the
actors nearly tired with smiling and bowing,
and sent a cold shudder down the backs of
the musicians. That the "Police Patrol"
contains many of the elements of a
successful melodrama cannot be denied, and
with a few exceptions is acted in an able
manner. It is well known here, and it
need only be said that it, of course, to a
great extent relies on effects not
strictly dramatic to make it a go. The pa
trol wagon, the white horses, a glimpse at
Haymarket Square, Chicago, and the lib
eral sprinkling of clever variety are leading
factors in the performance. The
heroic Captain Handy was ably
presented by Mr. Charles Chappelle.
He was well supported by Miss Amv Rus
sell as Laura Joyce. Bonnie Goodwin looked
sweet and sang well as Winifred and Charles
P. Guyer made a typical "newsie." His
specialties in the third act were far above
the average, and showed him also to be a
clever acrobat. Griffith Evans was not par
ticularly good as John Braden, the scoun
drel, and his 'pal. Artid Joe, was poorly in
terpreted by Herbert W. Jones. The
scenery needs a little touching up.

In spite of the election excitement it was

was varied and pleasing. In the Curio Hall
Harry La Borne, the contortionist, excited
much wonder by his wonderful anatomical
feats. Placed on the same platform, and
thereby furnishing a funny contrast, were
Amelia Hill, the Brooklyn fat girl, and
Fannie Burdette, the queen of midgets.
California Ned's skill as a wbittler was
amply shown in his rich collection of

1HE0D0RE CHILD NOT DEAD.
When Last DTeard From lie ITad Recovered
From the Cholera,
New York, Nov. 7. The special dis
patch to the London Times from
Teheran, Persia, Reporting the
death of Theodore Child, the critic and
magazine writer, was shown to the
Messrs. Harper in this city. Mr. G. Henry
Harper doubted the truth of the report,
and exhibited a letter from Child,
who is their Paris representa
tive, dated at Tebriz, Persia,
September 6, which states that both him
self and Mr. Weeks, the artist traveling
with him, had been attacked with cholera,
in Mr. Child's case it being the real Asi
atic disease. Mr. "Weeks recovered in
48 hours. Mr. Child nearly died of the
disease, but recovered in ten days and ex
pected to continue his jonrney through
Persia. The last heard of him was on Oc
tober 8, when he left Teheran" for Buschire
on his journey as contemplated.
Mr. Child in his letter says that when the
party arrived at Teheran, the cholera had
full possession, the streets .were deserted,
the banks closed and the inhabitants
fleeing. There were no Europeans left in
the city with the exception of a heroic
American lady phvsician, who, when they
fell sick, attended them, as she has done
hundreds of other cases.
SOCIALISTS H00I AEISTOCEATS.

GtiUNT, Nov. 7. There was a violent
demonstration of Socialists here to-day.
Speeches favoring universal suffrage and
otherwise inflammatory were made.
The Socialists paraded the streets,
singing revolutionary songs and hooting
the aristocrats. The disorder became so
great that the police were forced to charge
upon the crowd with drawn swords and re
volvers. They divided the mob, which became in
furiated, smashing fences and benches along
the Marche Yendredi, and turning upon the
police attacked them. The police
fired over the heads of the
crowd from the statue of Philip
Artwelde. At length mounted troops
which had been summoned to aid the hard
pressed police arrived and succeeded in
awing the mob. The riot was not quelled,
however, until many were injured. The
ringleaders of the mob were arrested.

Indian Territory. General MIlos in an inter
view stated that the condition of affairs Is
satisfactory everywhere excepting among
the Chnyennes and Arapatiooa. The latter
tribes he oxpects will go on the warpath
unless the Government takes steps to im
mediately relieve thorn from threatened
starvation.
Since their reservation was opened to sot
tlement.says the General, their rations from
the Government have been reduced to
three-quarters of the orig nil amount. The
Indians have been allotted land In severalty
but the agriculture combined with the
poor character of soil and with the disin
clination of tho Indian to work have
resulted in bringing them to a condi
tion verging npon starvation. They are
gettinz restless, says he. and empty
stomachs will drive them to the commission
of depredations and finally to the warpath
unless something is done speedily to relievo
them.

FACTS ABOUT WOODEN LEGS,
Considerable Mystery Surrounding tile
Identity of the Inventor.
All the Tear Eound.
Who first invented wooden legs? Vulcan
was a cripple, and in consequence of his
difficulty in walking he is said to have made
himself an artificial support of gold; but, as
Mr. Thomas pointed out long ago, gold is
not for every cripple, and every myth is
backed by a reality. Again, the devil, u
represented in the drawings and engravings
of the Middle Ages, is a compound of Pluto
and Vulcan. The latter was ejected from
Olympus, the devil was cast out of heaven.
Vulcan was frequently figured with a beard
and pointed cap.
In the edition of Tyndale's New Testa
ment printed by Judge in 1552, there Is a
woodcut representing the devil sowing
tares, and wearing not only the Vulcanian
beard and pointed cap, bat also a wooden
leg. Another mediaeval representation of
the devil with a wooden leg may be found
in one of the paintings on the panels of tha
pnlpit in the ancient little church of Heli
goland. It is only fair, however, to point
out that the artificial support in the Tyn.
dale woodcut resembles more a clumsy.ona
legged stool, upon which the lame leg ap
pears to be doubled up at the knee, than a
substituted wooden limb.
After all, this identification, so far as re
gards costume and lameness.of tho medieval
devil and the ancient Vulcan, although it
opens np a curious field of speculation to
thoje who are learned in matters of com
parative mythology, yet throws no certain
light on the question as to when the wooden
leg as we know it a complete artificial sub
stitute for a lost limb was first invented.

NICKNAMES OF THE STATX3,
The American Tendency to Colloqnla Given
Foil Sway in the Union.
St. Louis Glote-Democrat,
The American tendency to apply a famil
iar designation to individuals and communi
ties has led to the adoption of a colloquial
name for nearly every State in the Union.
Arkansas is the Bear State; California, tha
Golden State; Colorado, the Centennial.
Connecticut has long flourished under tha
appellation ot the Nutmeg State, together
with several other designations more or less
respectful, while Delaware is the Blue Hen
State. It is natural that Florida should be
the Peninsula State, and Georgia the Em
pire State of the South; but not so envioui
is the designation given Illinois, the Sucker
State, or that of Indiana,the Hoosier State.
Iowa rejoices nnder the cognomen of the
Hawkeye State, while the appropriateness
of a popular name is verified by that of
Kansas, the Garden State,
Kentucky is the Corncraker State, Louis
iana, the Pelican, an allusion to the coat-of-arras,
while a similiar reason has inspired
the nickname given to Maine, the Fine Tree
State. Massachusetts is the Old Bay State:
Michigan, the Wolverine State; Minnesota,
the Gopher State, the zoology of both fur
nishing the designations. Mississipp lis tha
Bayou State, an allusion to a geographical
feature. Missouri is poetically known as the
Pennsylvania of the West
Nevada is the Sage Hen State; New
Hampshire, the Granite State; New York,
Pennsylvania is the Keystone State; Khodo
the Empire State; North Carolina, tha
Tar State; Ohio, the Bnckeye State; lihoda
Island is the Litt'e Bhody; South Carolina,
the Palmetto State; Tennessee is the Big
Bend State; Texas, the Lone Star; Vermont
the Green Mountain; Virginia, the Old Do
minion; West Virginia, tbs Panhandle; and
Wisconsin, the Badger State.
