MRS. LANGTRY LUCKY “31R. JERSEY,” AS THE “LILY” CALLS HERSELF ON THE TI RE, ♦ ■ —- Won the Czarewitch Sinko* nml 1*200,000 with the Horae Merman, and Received an Ovation. 3,000 ABYSSINIANS KILLED KOTEI) WARRIOR AND HIS ARMY ✓'SLAIN BY FIERCE SOMALIS. Trial of Brlffands Who Made a Bnines* of Assassination—British Astonished at Sherman. LONDON. Oct. 13.—Mr. Jersey's (Mrs. Langtry's) Merman won the Czarewitch stakes at New Market to-day. The Czarewitch i3 a handicap of 25 sovereigns each, with 500 added, for three-year-olds and upwards, Czarewitch course, two miles two furlongs and thirty-five yards. Mr. Dobell’s The Rush was second and J. L. Dugdale’s Carlton Grange was third. Two American horses, August Belmont’s Keenan and J. R. Keene's St. Cloud 11, one French horse, Count de Berteux’s Frioera, and an Australian horse, Prince Soltykoff’s South Australian, were among the horses starting. Merman Is a five-year-old, who W’as sired by Grand Flaneur, out of Seaweed and was bred In Australia, Ho came to England last year. It Is believed that Mrs. Langtry won something like $300,000. The market on the race was one of the most prolific lcnow'n for years, and in view of this it is notregarded as probable that the bookmakers will have to pay out any exceptionally large sums. The tine weather and the open character of the race brought out an unusually large crowd. The race stands and inclosures were crowded with members of the aristocracy and other prominent people. The Prince of Wales did the honor of the Jockey Club inclosure to the Marquise De Gallifet, the Earl and Countess of Cadogan, Lord and Lady Lurgan, Lord and Lady Rothschild, Sir Arthur Sullivan, and ail the regular racing peers. By a curious coincidence it is Mrs. Langtry’s birthday and it was the first occasion of her readmissior. to the Jockey Club inclosure, through the influence of the Prince of Wales. During the race a bevy of her admirers hoisted Mrs. Langtry on a high bench in the club stand, from which she watched the course with anxious eyes. "When ner victory w’as announced, she descended with the greatest agility and almost ran to the bird cage, where she waited to lead the winner back. She was overwhelmed and almost smothered with congratulations, while the stable boys, with whom she is exceedingly popular, made the welkin ring. The final stages of the race created intense excitement. The greatest praise is awarded to Jockey Sharpies for his judgment and clever handling of Merman against the experienced Charles Wood on The Rush. Although St. Cloud II was defeated. he gave a show calculated to bring him into prominence for the Cambridgeshire. The Sporting Life will say to-morrow: “Merman was largely backed by Australian sportsmen. It is feared that a good deal of money has been lost over Keenan, who ran badly. All accounts agiee that Mrs. Langtry’s victory is most popular and her winnings are variously estimated at from £20,000 ($100,000) to £40,000 ($200,000.) Mr. Wilson, the previous owner of Merman, describes him as a regular bull dog to battle out a finish. The victory is also ascribed to the animals splendid training by Webb.

AN ARMY ANNIHILATED., Gen. Ras Mackonnen and 3,000 Abyssinian*; Slain by Somalis. LONDON, Oct. 13.—J. Bonnet Stanford, who has just returned from taking part in an expedition to Somaliland, brings news of the annihilation, at the end of June, of an Abyssinian army of three thousand men, under the control of the famous General Ras Mackonnen, of which only sixty-nine men escaped. Mr. Stanford said to-day: “While in the interior we came upon a powerful Somali chief, who had just returned from the fight. He told me that the Abyssinian force had been raiding down the WebbeShebeyli river, nearly as far as the fortyfifth parallel. The Somalis then overwhelmed them with large numbers, allowing sixty men to go back with the news of the defeat. Ras Mackonnen was killed during the battle. The affair occurred about one hundred miles from where we were. The whole neighborhood is still greatly excited and the possession of so many Italian rifles by the Somalis is evidence that the story told of the Abyssinian defeat is true. The latest news from Harrar was that an Abyssinian army was being dispatched against the Somalis, •w’ho are eagerly anticipating another fight.’ In regard to the reported massacre of the Cavendish expedition, Mr. Stanford said: “There are no expeditions in Somaliland to massacre. Peel, w’ho was with me, is away to the south: Lord Delamere, near Lake Rudolph; Major Macdonald is on the trade route towards Uganda, and Cavendish, when l last heard of him, was on the Kikuyu road. + MURDEROUS BRIGANDS. Testimony of the Leader of a Band of Servian Assassins. LONDON, Oct. 13.— The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Mail, describing the proceedings at the trial of two hundred brigands and receivers of stolen property, now in progress at Tschaischak, in Servia, which have already revealed systematic plundering and murdering of members of the Liberal party at the instigation of Radicals, prominent among whom is Deputy Tajsiteh, a well-known member of the Assembly, says: “The leader of the brigands, a man named ltrkitsch, testified that he killed a schoolmaster named Backovitch, who was also a political writer, at the instigation of Deputy Tajsiteh. He deposed that the latter promised to assist him to escape into Montenegro, where, according to the deputy. Prince Nicholas, who also desired the death of Backovitch, was to reward hint handsomely. Deputy Tajsiteh then sounded Brkltsch as to the possibility of assassinating King Alexander of Servia. When this statement of the proceedings was reached the brigand leader suddenly stopped his disclosures and declared that his previous testimony was false, but the retraction is said to be due to a bribe from Deputy Tajsiteh.” Astonished at Sherman’s Surprise. LONDON, Oct. 13.—The officials of the British Foreign Office reiterate that the Marquis of Salisbury agreed to join in a conference of sealing experts representing the United States, Canada and Great Britain, but, they add, he did not agree to Official facsimile of Medal Awarded DR. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER ■ ; j * MBoosasiii- !SfKA7 WORLD’S FAIR,CHICAGO, 1893

take part in a conference on the subject with Russia and Japan. The Foreign Office officials will be unable to say what the British government is prepared to do until Secretary Sherman's latest dispatch on the conference quesction is received. The Foreign Office officials appeared to be astonished at what they termed “the tone of surprise’’ assumed by Secretary Sherman in his reply to the Marquis of Salisbury expressing Great Britain’s declination to be represent'd in the conference with Russia and Japan, as briefly outlined to-day in the dispatches from New- York. The Arbitration Treaty Not Dead. LONDON. Oct. 14.—The Daily News says this morning: “There is a good prospect of a speedy conclusion of a general arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States. We have reason to believe that President McKinley will propose a clause in the treaty providing that before any subject is finally referred to the court or arbitration such reference shall be approved by the Queen on one hand and by the American Senate on the other. It is expected that such a proviso will induce the Senate to ratify the treaty: and it is improbable that any objection will be raised on this side.” The Sultan’i* .Murderous Scheme. LONDON, Oct. 14.—A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Constantinople says: “The Sultan is making strenuous efforts to obtain the withdrawal of American missionaries from the interior of Asia Minor. If his efforts should be successful the policy of exterminating the Armenians could be accomplished without European witnesses.” Cable Notes. The National Council of Switzerland, by a vote of 96 to 5, has adopted a bill making accident insurance compulsory in the case of all persons not having independent means of existence. Admiral Brin, the Italian minister of marine, has decided on the experiment of mobilizing the whole of the naval forces of Italy along the Mediterranean within fortyeight hours of the issuance of the order of mobilization. The experiment will be made about the middle of next month. The Duke of Genoa will have supreme command. The London Times announces that a letter is being signed by a majority of the leading men of the city expressing their grave objections to any movement by the government in the direction of bimetallism, and adds: “As the government’s answer to the American commissioners is expected to be given within a few days, there is no time to be lost.” THE CHECK WAS GOOD. Statement from Emmet C. Gibson, Recently Arrested at New Y'ork. NEW YORK, Oct, 13.—Emmet C. Gibson, vice president of the Akron (O.) Street-rail-way Company, who was arraigned in Jefferson Market Court Tuesday on a charge of having passed a worthless check for $640 on H. B. Stimson, auditor of the Imperial Hotel, and discharged, to-night issued a statement, through his attorney, Felix Jellenik, of 11 Wall street. This statement reads: “Mr. Dow, of Cleveland, the maker of the check, was present in court and said the check was good a.nd given to Mr. Gibson in the regular course of business. The prosecuting witness stated to the court that he was mistaken in the charge and wanted to withdraw the complaint. This the defendant and his brother, Senator Gibson, would not consent to. After a hearing the court promptly dismissed the complaint. In the court were prominent business men and bankers from several large cities throughout the country ready to testify to the good name and character of Mr. Gibson. The whole thing was untrue and unjust to Mr. Gibson.” Mr. Gibson was arrested after the check had been, through some error, it is said, returned to Mr. Stimson by the bank in which it h,ad been deposited.

O’FALLON PARK RUINED. Almost Every Foot of Ground Duff Up by Treasure Seekers. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.—1n a deposition yesterday taken before Special Commissioner Dillon, Louis Sicher, a bankrupt, under cross-examination, testified that he had buried $15,000 in a tin box in O’Fallon Park, just north of the city. The .newspapers published the story, and hundreds of men, women and children, with all kinds of implements, dug around in the park searching for the hiddf n treasure. One old man with a forked st jk assiduously prospected in true mining style. The best the police could do w'as to keep the “Klondikers” from tearing up the flower beds, but every other foot of ground was turned up. The money is still hidden. NO MAILS ON STREET CARS. Views of Corporation Counsel Thornton, of Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct 13.—Street car companies have no authority to carry Uncle Sam's mail if Corporation Counsel Thornton is right. He sent an opinion on the question to the City Council to-night and from his standpoint the companies are operating under franchises which specifically prohibit the transportation of anything but passengers. Mr. Thornton believes that the authority granted the car companies by the United States is not sufficient to permit the hauling of mail cars. He says the carriage of mail, therefore, is a direct violation of the provisions under which the roads are operating. MURDER AND SUICIDE. Chicaffo Girl Shoot* Her Lover and Then Kills Herself. CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—T0-night nineteen-year-old Florence Gleason fired a bullet into the brain of her lover, John Peters, and then turned the weapon against her temple. The bullet entered her brain, killing her instantly. Peters was removed to the Alexian Brothers' Hospital, where the doctors say he will die. The shooting was the outcome of a lovers’ quarrel some months ago, it is said, since which Miss Gleason has been jealous of Peters’s attentions to other young women. OBITUARY.

DEATH LIST GROWING NINE VICTIMS OF YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS YESTERDAY. - ♦ Thirty-Nine New Coses, Making 6N5 to Date, of Which 305 Have Recovered from the Disease. RAILWAY PRESIDENT ILL * HENRY' C. ROUSE STRICKEN AT HIS HOME IN CLEVELAND. ■ ♦ • Returned Last Week from a Trip Through the Southwest—Situation at Mobile and Elsewhere. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13.—Tills was a record smasher in the number of deaths in a single day from yellow fever since the sickness was first reported in New Orleans. It is difficult to find the cause, except in the fact that concealment, neglect and rebellion against the authority of the Board of Health have made it difficult for the physicians to give proper attention to cases. At 7 o’clock this evening there had been nine fatalities reported during the twenty-four hours. Heretofore the highest number of deaths in any one day has been six. At the Board of Health to-night there was some discussion among the gathered physicians as to whether the disease had assumed suddenly a more virulent form or whether an aggregation of circumstances had sent up the list of deaths. Prominent doctors say they do not believe the disease has become more malignant in type. They believe that the fact that on some days there has been four or five deaths, on succeeding days no deaths, and then four or five again, goes to prove that the fever has been as eccentric before as it is now. Among the deaths reported some are of the better class of people. Edward C. Ray, aged sixteen, lived with his mother, who kept a fashionable boarding house on Peytonia street. Another death was that of Antonio Corvajo, the agent of a steamship line running between this port and Palermo. He was a native of Italy and since the fever appeared has been active among his countrymen. On the 10th of the month Dr. Formenti was called in to see him. He had then been sick for three days. He died this morning. Two deaths occurred to-day in the Touro Infirmary. The cases had not originated in the institution but had been removed thither from other places in the city. A death was also reported in the Isolation Hospital. One of the deaths in today’s record occurred about 10 o’clock last night, after the close of yesterday’s bulletin. The others were reported at different hours to-day. Among the new cases the most prominent is that of Hunter C. Leake, general agent here of the Illinois Central road. Mrs. Leake was stricken two days ago and her husband must have taken the disease from close attendance upon her. Dr. Spruell is also among the cases reported. Three cases in the list to-day developed at the Charity Hospital, one coming from Algiers and the other two from the lower sections of the city. Alt three were removed to the Isolation Hospital. The Board of Health officially reports: Cases of yellow fever, 31; deaths to-day, 9; total cases of yellow fever to date, 685; total deaths from yellow fever to date, 77; total cases absolutely recovered, 305; total cases under treatment, 303. To-day's record: New Cases—Christian I. May, John Johnson, Louisa Lugenbuhl, Stephen Sangoli, Joseph Bell, Dr. J. S. Pruell, Annie Wimbush, Mr. James, Walter Bieuher, Giavanni Cucia, Frank Haveleg, W. E. Muff, Minge Dixey. Hunter C. Leake, Miss L. Pleasants, Miss Mary Dickinson, Miss Victoria Dick, Herbert Bieuher, Belle Phillips, James Barrity, F. Mills, Ed. Hubener, Miss Maud Mallett, J. F. Cozley, William Barrett, Mr. Hoffman, Homer Horbert, John Herbert. Deaths—Salvator Fortuna, Giovani Circia, A. Labuzzea. Antonio Corvajo, Isadore Scheurer. Henry E. Wells, Edward C. Ray, Charles Sauers, Joseph Saitta. Avery large number of recoveries were reported to the Board of Health to-day, and some of them were of people who had been ill but a few days. The Board of Health to-night received a letter from Health Officer Johnson, of Plaqui; fines Parish, saying that D. Tambony had died from yellow fever. The case was regarded as suspicious and after death an autopsy was held. The case was found to be unquestionably one of yellow fever. Two others of the same family, Dr. Johnson says, were taken down with the fever, but they are both convalescent. Dr. Johnson has been unable to trace the origin of disease. Plaquemines parish Is located below New Orleans and extends to the gulf, and there is much interest taken in the development of a case of fever in the parish from the fact that within its limits the Sicilian immigrants were unloaded last week.

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW. Eminent Episcopalians Attending the Annual Convention. BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 13.—Delegates to the International Brotherhood of St. Andrew are arriving in large numbers. Seldom, if ever, has this city entertained a gathering of men of such high reputation. Canon Gore, of Westminster, the Lord Bishop of Rochester: Bishop H. C. Potter, of New Y'ork, and Bishop H. Y. Satterlee, of Washington, are among the most distinguished of those who will attend. From Canada comes N. Ferrar Davidson, of Toronto, and B.

This convention means the beginning of the brotherhood of international growth. At present nineteen-twentieths of its membership is in this country. Henceforth it is expected that the growth on English soil will be more rapid than here. The brotherhood there is at present in its infancy, and the field there is also larger on account of the greater number of church parishes and communicants. This morning a number of business meetings of national councils and of the international committee were held behind closed doors. Routine business was considered. This afternoon devotional services known as “quiet hours” were held at St. Paul’s church, presided over by Canon Gore, of Westminster. AT AND NEAR MOBILE.

Bouse, president of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway, who returned last w’eek from a trip through the Southwest, is seriously ill with a fever at his home on Euclid avenue. No one is allowed to see him, and Dr. E. F. Cushing, the family physician, declines to give his opinion regarding the nature of the ailment. Mr. Rouse’s business representative here declares that the malady is not yellow fever, but resembles typhoid. A special telegram from Dallas, Tex., says: “If Henry C. Rouse was exposed to yellow fever w’hile In Texas, it must have been in San Antoino, Austin or some smaller tow’n. He did not visit Houston or Galveston.” Attempt to Cremate a. Sick Man. MAY'FIELD, Ky„ Oct. 13.—An unknown man, trying to make his way from Memphis to Louisville, was put off a train here today. He was later found lying near the cemetery unconscious.

PLAY FOR SYMPATHY STOPPED BY JUDGE TITTHILL, OF THE CHICAGO CRIMINAL COURT. ♦ Sausage Maker Lnet*ert Not Permitted to Fondle Hi* Two Little Children Before tUe Jurors. INCIDENT OF A GREAT TRIAL ♦ THAT WAS DENOUNCED AS AN OUTRAGE BY EX-JUDGE VINCENT. Attorney Phtilen's Argument In Behalf of the Alleged Murderer—The Prosecution Severely Criticised. * CHICAGO, Oct. 13—The entire day it. the Luetgert trial was taken up by Attorney Phalen, who spoke for the defense. He made an impassioned plea for his client, accused the police of intimidating the witnesses for the defense and denounced many of those who had appeared for the state as perjurers. He declared that the chain of circumstantial evidence on which Assistant State's Attorney JlcEwen had dwelt at so great length during his address to the jury was not a chain of circumstantial evidence at all, but a fragmentary collection of distorted facts. He found flaws without number in the story furnished by the state and declared that no jury composed of sensible men would for a moment think of returning a verdict of guilty on such evidence. He will continue to speak the greater part of to-morrow, and will then be followed by Attorney Vincent for the defense, who will close the> arguments in behalf of Luetgert. State’s Attorney Deneen said today that he would not consume over five hours in his closing address for the state on Saturday. The usual mad rush for Judge Tuthill's courtroom followed immediately after the doors of the Criminal Court building were opened this morning and for nearly two hours people stood in line waiting to be admitted to the room. Hundreds xvere turned away when the courtroom became filled. In opening his argument Attorney Phalen said: “If this case had been submitted to the jury when the state closed its evidence I verily believe a verdict of not guilty would have resulted at once," declared Attorney Phalen. “The evidence of the prosecution came from intimidated witnesses who perjured themselves," he asserted with emphasis. “These witnesses were browbeaten by the police and drilled in what they were to swear to. They came into this court to swear away the life of an innocent man. During the progress of the trial we had a good illustration of the perjury in this case, when Emma Schimpke, after giving her evidence, left the stand and admitted to her friends that she had deliberately lied. Police persecution and intimidation percolates throughout the entire case. The case fairly drips with the vile rottenness of police methods. The chain of circumstances about which Mr. McEwen has said so much is composed of distorted and fragmentary or perjured evidence, so wholly contradictory and unreliable that no jury composed of sensible men can for a moment give it credence. Gentlemen, if you are the judges of the law and the evidence, it remains for you to say whether my client is to unjustly suffer at the hands of perjurers." At this point in his argument Attorney Phalen had become worked up to a high pitch of excitement and became a trifle confused. He talked about “false perjury” and said “those or these statements you heard.” State’s Attorney Deneen chewed a lead pencil in an effort to suppress laughter and Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen pulled his blonde mustache until his face grew red because of the self-inflicted pain. ExJudge Vincent stared at his colleague in an angry manner. Attorney Phalen gradually recovered himself and talked on police intimidation, perjury and kindred topics.

THE CHILDREN BARRED. One of the incidents of the session was the appearance in court of Lutegert’s two little sons. The lads had not been in court fjr several weeks. They climbed on their father’s knees and ha fondled them while Attorney Phalen “orated.” Assistant State’s Attorney MeEwen approached Judge Tuthill and quietly objected to the children being conspicuously exhibited before the jury. Judge Tuthill ordered that they be sent to seats removed from the one occupied by their father. In a loud tone of voice exJudge Vincent objected to the removal of the children. “Oh, your object is plain enough, but I will not permit it,” retorted Judge Tuthill. “I note an exception to the remarks of the court,” said ex-Judge Vincent. “Very well; go on, Mr. Phalen,” ordered the court. But the Luetgert children were removed and will not be allowed to play upon the sympathies of the jurors. Their father shed tears this afternoon when at the adjournment of court he took leave of his little sons. Early in the day Luetgert showed emotion and his eyes were moist as Attorney Phalen pleaded with the jury to spare his client’s life. Luetgert is breaking down. This was the universal verdict of those who have watched the man during the two months of his trial. The strain on him is great and at last his nervous system is weakening. The giant sausage maker does not sleep well at night of late. The near approach of the date on which he will know his fate at the hands of the jury has completely upset him by the anxiety it has brought him. The attorneys for the defense are inclined to sympathize with Luetgert and undertook to-day to criticise Judge Tuthill for ordering the two small sons of the latter removed from the side of their father. “It was an outrage,” said ex-Judge Vincent. “It was uncalled for, and I noted an exception to the act of the court and also to the court’s remarks.” “It was perfectly proper,” said Assistant State’s Attorney MeEwen. “No one should be permitted to sit close to the defendant except his counsel. It is absurd to hint that the court has not the power and right to stop a play for sympathy such as Luetgert was making before the jury.” Attorney Phalen spoke all day and will resume his argument to-morrow. His effort was devoted in the main to an attempt to tear down the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution by making them out perjurers and pointing out inconsistencies in their stories. To-morrow, after Attorney Phalen has finished. ex-Judge Vincent will make the closing address of the defense. He will speak most of to-morrow and all day Friday. State’s Attorney Deneen will close in a five-hour speech on Saturday. Movement* f Steamer*. NEW YORK.

NAT BUTLER’S DAY. CambrldKe Cycler Carried Oil the Honors at Louisville. LOUISVILLE, Ky„ Oct. 13.—T0-night closed the engagement in Louisville of the National Circuit racing tourists. It was most decidedly Nat Butler’s day. He succeeded in lowering the record for a mile in a handicap race by three and two-fifths seconds; he won the two-mile open race and ran second in the half-mile race all in three starts. He accomplished the record feat of one mile in 2:00 1-5 in the second professional event, which was a one-mile handicap. Among those who qualified out of thirty-nine starters for the final of this event were Hadfield of New Jersey, Con Baker of Ohio, Aker of Philadelphia, Watson Coleman of Boston, Seaton of Louisville and Fred C. Hoyt of Cambridge, Mass. The men rode fast from the start. Coming Into the stretch they all seemed to redouble their efforts, and, in the hottest, kind of a finish, Nat Butler flashed across the tape, closely followed by Fred Hoyt, who only beat out Seaton by the shortest of margins for third place. A.mong the amateurs, Middendorf, of Louisville, succeeded in defeating Peabody, of Chicago. Summaries: Half-mile professional, 1:05 class: Shimmy McFarland, of California,, won; Nat Butler, of Cambridge, Mass., second; C. S. Wells, of California, third. Time, 1:12 3-5. Onc-mile handicap, professional: Nat Butler, of Cambridge (scratch), won; Fred C, Hoyt, of the same place (twenty-five yards), second; W. H. Seaton, of Louisville (thirtyfive yards), third; Con Baker, of Ohio (fifty yards), fourth. Time, 2:00 1-s—record. One-mile open, amateur: W. H. Middendorf, of Louisville, won; P. J. Bornwasser, of Louisville, second; Earl Peabody, of Chicago, third. Time, 2:21. Two-mile open, professional: Nat Butler, of Cambridge, Mass., won; Watson Coleman, of Boston, second: Tom Cooper, of Detroit, third. Time, 4:114-5. n HARVARD’S FOOTBALL TEAM. It Shown Good Effects of Practice by Defeating; Amhernt 30 to O. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 13.—'The Harvard ’varsity eleven played In encouraging form this afternoon, defeating Amherst 38 to 0. The home team showed plainly the good effects of the practice of the last few days in fast, snappy, offensive work and stronger interference. Harvard had the game all her own way; but in the first half narrowly escaped being scored against through a blocked kick by Amherst. The latter got the ball only thirty yards from Harvard’s goal, and with all the energy it was capable of forced back the crimson line directly under its goal to its five-yard line. There Amherst lost the ball on downs and it was punted out of danger. Harvard’s offensive play, especially in the second half, was fast and precise. Its defensive was strong except at center, where Burden played substitute for Doucett. The great work of the day was done by Dibble, who made several sensational runs, one of fifty-five yards. Temple Cup Series Receipts. BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.—The receipts for the Temple cup series of ball games were in the neighborhood of $12,000, but the expenses were quite heavy, so that less than SIO,OOO was left for distribution. Baltimore’s share was $5,580 and Boston’s $3,720. Each share was divided into eighteen parts, each Baltimore player receiving $3lO and each Boston player a fraction less than $207. Besides this, the Baltimore and Boston players divide equally the money from the two exhibition games of last week, each player receiving $47 clear of expenses. The Orioles had still another sum to divide for an exhibition game at Hoboken. Each man got S3O for that, so that the total sum received by the Baltimore players was S3S7 apiece. All the players came in for a full share except Maul and Kitson. Amole got his full share, although Jie joined the team late in the season. PenniiylTania Clawed by Tigerii. PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 13.—For ten minutes of the first half of the game between Tigers and Pennsylvania State College on the.’Varsity gridiron this afternoon every indication pointed to a repetition of last year’s game with Lafayette, when Princeton could not score. The men from central Pennsylvania were giants when compared with tho 'Varsity in height and weight und played splendidly for tern minutes, twice nearly making touchdowns on fumbles by the Tigers and downing the ’Varsity backs time and again with no gain. But the Tigers’ superior training told and after the first ten minutes Princeton was able to score. The ’Varsity team work was poor and fumbling was frequent. Princeton’s touchdowns were secured by Wheeler. Bannard, Suter, Ayres and the game ended with a score of 34 to 0. . Ranker Kicker* Won. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-The University of Pennsylvania eleven defeated the University of Virginia football team to-day In two halves of twenty-five and twenty minutes each by the score of 42 to 0. The red and blue played a dashing game, their only fault, being three fumbles by Weeks and Fortencue. The Virginians were constantly getting hurt, and the game was tiresome on this account. The Vtrglnlans were unable to endanger the goal of the red

BLOOD AND SKIN HUMORS Afflicting a Whole Family. Speedily Cured by CUTICURA. Statements Sworn to Before the Clerk of the Supreme Court. My wife had appear on her limbs, just above the ankles, five small pimples that began to enlarge, and soon developed into eating ulcer* of the indolent type, which, despite all remedies and our efforts to cure them, grew worse and worse, and at the end of three months had become very bad, two of them having eaten to the bone. At that time we began to use Cuticura remedies, and with two bottle* of Resolvent, one box of CmcriiA, and one cake of Cpticura Soap, they were cured sound and well in about two months. The scars aro there to-day as living witnesses of the severity and extent of the ulcers. 1 also was afflicted the same winter with papular rash, from which I could not rest day or night. My skin became in a very bad fix when I began using Cuticcra remedies. I used them for about one month and wm cured. My little baby girl, when about ten months old, was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs from her knees down were one solid sore from which ‘•he suFered greatly.
