i ,al club in its visit to New Castle last ) evening was defeated 4 to 2. It was the story of the raw deal that the players recited upon their return to this city this morning. Every opportunity to foul the locals was indulged in by the New Castle players, but acts committed were never seen by Ives; Even little "Benny" Sharp, the cleanest player in the league, fouled three times. Bulla fouled once for tripping when Nolan became tangled with his own club. When this foul was called by Ives, the locals left the floor and only after much persuasion went back on. Each side lost one goal on fouls. The locals claim that New Castle's last goal was made by Sampsell who kicked it into the draperies. Richmond protested the game.

In Lower Egypt rain formerly fell very seldom. During the French occupation about 1789. it did not rain for sixteen months, but since Mahomit Ali, and Ibhahim Pasha completed their vast plantation the former alone planted more than 20,000,000 olive fir, cotton, acacia, plane trees, etc. there now falls a good deal of rain.

During the last, fishing season the Illinois river contributed 4.650 tons to the markets of the country. Twothirds of the catch being carp.

Ft. Monroe, Va., Feb. 18. A mes-

senger from the home-coming battle-1 ship fleet, the tender Yankton, put in here yesterday and began to take on a full supply of coal preparatory to proceeding at the earliest practicable moment to Washington, in response to a wireless summons picked up as the craft was passing in the Virginia Capes. The Yankton will return to Hampton Roads in time to greet the fleet, and then will journey back again to the capital, being used to convey some one of the score or more of official parties to be present during the review of the fleet next Monday. . Sails The Seven Seas. From the moment of the departure of the 16 battleships on December 16, 1907, the Yankton has hardly known a moment's rest. She is but a mite of a ship, and has been a plaything for the storms of the "seven seas." With a displacement of only 975 tons.

as against the 16,000 of the Connecti

cut and her class, the little Yankton has been hammered and pounded by

giant seas. Even to the last day of the voyage the fight of the sturdy dispatch boat against the elements continued, and when the anchor was cast this morning Lieutenant Commander McVay. in command, knew practically his first relief from constant duty on the bridge for three days and nights. The safe return of the Yankton is one Of the distinct achievements of the cruise. Anchored today between the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana, whose gray sides towered far above her, the Yankton appeared but a white dot on the surface of the wind-swept waters. Wherever the fleet has gone the Yankton has also fought her way.

Washington, Feb. 18. Willis L. Moore, chief of the Unfted States

weather bureau, picked a bad time at

which to ask congress to add $1,000

a year to his salary. It is due to the

fact that Prof. Moore is a pretty good

politician that he already draws S5.000 a year, considerably more than the average Day of bureau chiefs, but he

overreached himself when he asked

congress, just before inauguration, to add another thousand dollars. Made Poor Guess. Inauguration weather in Washington is proverbially bad. Of course, it is not the fault of Prof. Moore or the weather bureau that this is so, but congress has a pretty good memory and it has not forgotten the prediction Prof. Moore made eight years ago. On the eve of McKinley's second inaugural a special prediction was issued by the weather bureau, signed by Prof. Moore himself contrary to the usual practice, in which the professor announced that he staked his reputation on the prediction that the weather on March 4 would be

clear and balmy. It Vas the most miserably disagreeable inaugural day within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Target of Jokers. The weather bureau ' almost strained itself explaining that an unexpected storm had come from some absolutely undiscoverable source, etc., but for several years the weather bureau was the butt of ever joker in congress. The matter died out in time, but when Prof. Moore asked for an increase in salary on the eve of another inauguration day his wain-glorious prediction of eight years ago was recalled and ridicule killed all hope of his getting the increase. If Prof. Moore had waited another year he probably would have gotten Jiis additional thousand dollars, for he has many friends in congress, but his judgment in asking it at this time was as bad as it was in taking advantage of what he thought was a "sure thing" to gain a reputation as a prophet.

Ths Electoral College. It would be very difficult to say what is the present purpose or function of the electoral college, since it la in no sense electoral. The college was intended by the framers of the constitution to elect the president without any regard to tbe popular rote. It was the intent originally to let tbe people pick out a certain number of men (the electoral college), and those men were to choose the president. But such idea has long been merely a governmental fiction, and tbe college-is merely a "Me too" to tbe November vote preceding. Xew York American.
