We are glad that Princeton beat Yale tn the foot ball matob yesterday. ' This leaves Yale and Harvard to “flock all Alone by themselves" with their tail feathers badly plucked, since the defeated Yale has defeated Harvard. Both were in the Inte^Collegiate Foot Ball Association, and there they were soundly beaten. Now they are going to withdraw and set up a / little two-handed contest between themselves. They won't play with the other Colleges; the snobbish emulation of Oxford and Cambridge ia eo alluring. So in their arrogated superiority we are glad to see that they go out beaten. Let them have their nice tender tete-a-tete; evidently those rough Princeton and Cornell and Colombia fellows play for blood.
THE great game of foot-ball between the elevens of Butler and Purdue Univerbitiee yesterday for the State championship resulted in a victory for Butler—and •very bit of it was earned. Purdue's defeat was only less brilliant than a victory. Their dogged, almost sullen courage, as inch by inch they bore the ball several times close to the goal, was admirable, and enhanced the brilliancy of the play that ooustamly met, overmatched, and laally beat it From the description of the game between Yale Bad Princeton yesterday the one between Butler and Purdue was the more brilliant It happened that the elevens were po evenly matched that only fine headwork and the employment of the best strategy and tactics known to the game could bare won it The attendance—in the bitter cold undr blinding enow of the time—was gratifyingly large, many ladies ehatreaibg the scene. It is safe to say that next year there will be thousands . where this year there were hundreds. It to a great game and being entirely in the hands of amatenrs makes it all the better. Next year let ns see what college town will furnish the eleven that will taka the honors from .Butter.

Niro-Proof Cities.
The Boston firemea who had worked .hard at the ire af Lynn, had hardly got rented when they were called out to a great one at^home. There to a grave fault somewhere to the oonstruetioD of a city as old aa Boston, whan it can be made the victim of such a fire at all, and especially when the devastation follows within little more than a das- «> yean another still greater. One may well ask, “why ia not such n city mainly flre-proof?” Allowing the impossibility of maxing streets of crowded tenements and suburbs of hasty bouses proof against a •weeping conflagration or local outbreak* of fire, there yet remains as imperative and insoluble as ever the problem, “why can’t the eostly and carefullybuilt houses of big btuineas bo mad* fireproof?” No pains or expense are spared in their erection, to either material, plan or labor. They are made to show off to advantage and they do. All that to visible, and likely to fix attention, is carried ont to the last inch of structural excellence- Why can't there be equal care in the construction that, though it invites no open-eyed admiration, still does even a more important work in the provision of safety against fire? It surely is possible for the architect whose taste make* so impressive a picture to apply his skill in the direction of safety. Yet it ie not done, or we would not have reported every few years the visits of conflagrations that sweep away a half score of milliqus in a few hongs and a high wind. We never hear of such ruin raging in European cities. Paris, Munich, Dresden, Berlin, Copenhagen, Florence, Borne or Naples, never send to this side of the ocean any sneh news as that we have heard within n year from Tacoma and Seattle in the Wild West, and Boston and Lynn in the very heart of the highest civilisation. Why is Dresden never •wept by a million-dollar fire? Why do we sever hear of widespread conflagrations in Milan or Borne? Some years ago Mr. Roger*, the famous American sculptor who had then resided in Borne for nearly thirty years, told a tourist of this city that during all the long period of his residence, there bad been bat one fire, and that was of forage stored in one of the arohea of the Palace of Nero, which canted no loss but the hone feed consumed. In the Mine time New York had loet full/ ten million* by variou* fires among her coatly but unprotected buildings. It can’t be harder to make Boston fire-proof than it has been to make the Italian capital so, a* well as scores of other European cities. And more urgent and puzzling grows we question, why is it not done, and millions of wasted money and property saved? Generally the answer must be, that we spend more for show hi our city buildings than for safety, and onr civilization needs improving at just that point It is full time to begin now.
The Champion Epitaph. [London cablegram New York Sod.] A tourist in the Chanuel Islands claims to have discovered in St. Samson Parish Church, Guernsey, the world’s champion epitaph. A marble tablet over the reading desif coords the virtues of Lieutenant Thomas Falla, aged eighteen years, of the Twelfth Infantry Regiment, who was killed in battle on April fi, 1799. The inscription
proceeds:
“He was struck by a solid cannon ball weighing twenty-six pounds, which lodged between the two bones of one of his lees. The wound inflamed considerably, but, although it was examined by the regimental surgeon, the presence of the cannon ball was not noticed until after death, which took place six bonrs afterward, when it was extracted, to the surprise of the wlmle army.’’ I The man who made the discovery was fine Matthew Crookshank, a hard-headed surgeon,destitute alike of sense of humor and veneration for the antique. He has uever met with a leg of physical proportions extensive enough to receive, stow away, and hide from public gase a twenty-six pound cannon ball, so he has writteh to a medical newspaper indignantly demanding whether the outrageous falsehood is not out of placp in the house of God. /
The (School Book Question.
[Tsrre Haute Express.]
The people ean not be deceived In this matter. They suffered long under the old monopoly, and the latest step taken by it to break' down the new law increases the opposition to the fraud. The monopoly is making the present unscrupulous and desperate fight not lo much with the expectation of ever again getting the schools at its mercy as to make it appear that the law is a failure, and thereby prevent other States following Indiana’s lead. The publishers who are now spending a large amount of money to this end are bat adoptr ing the tactics of the telephone people when Indiana set an example in legislation against the extortionate rates. They will discover, however, that they must override the wishes of many more persons than did the telephone monopoly. The letter's patrons were few compared with the thousands of parents who rejoice in ^e relief afforded by the new law and who will Insist that their representatives in the Legislature be sot persuaded to take a backward step. “The People Are ‘Onto’ It.”

The Farmers’ Alliance brought the attention of the farmers to the relative prices of the two commodities, and advised that half the corn crop be need as fuel, thus advancing the price of the other half and saving money in their fuel bills.

[r. Stanley’s last journey in Africa, now nearly comiilt-ted, has b<en a series of the most remarkable adventures that ever befell a modern traveler. Ever since he began his land march nearly two and a half years ago it has been with him almost an incessant battle against savage nature and savage mao. Even the exciting hardships and deadly perils that confronted him for hun-
he fought his way
down the Congo seem inconsiderable when com pa rad with the terrible odds
dreds of miles whan he fonght his
[ against
which he has straggled from first to last in this memorable journey. It is a wonder that every white man whom Stanley took with him to the lakes has come out of the ordeal dive; and to crown all this record of starvation, war, treachery and disaster, we are happily permitted to witness the oril-
ixpedl
tion had not been sent to the relief of Emin. We see clearly now that his fate would hare been sealed had not Stanley reached him in time. He would either nave been killed by the Mahdists or led qss prisoner to Khartoum. It was the ammunition that Stanley took t& Emin on his first visit to Albert Nyanza that enabled the forces of the Pasha, though they had thrown off his authority, to repulse the Mahdists at Dufile, thus giving time for Stanley’s reappearance at the lake and the gathering of Emin and the rebellious Egyptians at Albert Nyanza preparatory to starting on the homeward
journey.
Emin was practically destitute of ammunition and his forces could have offered no resistance whatever to the invasion of the Mahdists. The succor sent to. the brave Pasha reached him at the very time that steamers laaen with men and monitions were on their way south to crush him. It can not now be said that this great man and his Egyptian soldiers, placed in the heart of Africa by Egypt, were abandoned to their fate through the indifference and neglect of
the civilized world.
The scene of Stanley's narrow escape from starvation in the great forest belt is not far from the place of his previous sufferings a year earlier, but it is north instead of south of the Aruwimi River. Twenty-one persons in a total of 130 died in the dreadful camp
while 150 men were scouring the country

the most terrible Stanley has met daring all

actually compelled him to change his route. These little savages knew no relenting, though practically all the other tribes who had opposed him on his first advance were
ravages, when he writes of the natives of KavaUl, on the southwest shore of Albert Nyanza, who distrusted and held aloof
from him
them:
when he first appeared among
f a friendly popn* a war note within
“I am in the thickest of a lation, and if I sound
four hours I can have 2,000 warriors to assist me to repel any force disposed to violence.’’ When the first brief teiegram announced the rebellidn in Emin’s province the Sun predicted that his Egyptians would bs found to be at the bottom of the mischief. This inference was correct, as is shown by Jephson’s letter, saying: “The rebellion has been gotten up by some half dozen Egyptians, and gradually others joined, some through inclination, but most through fear.” It is not at all probable that if this revolt against Emin’s authority had not occurred he would have been able decisively to repulse the Khartoum invaders, though Jephsou says that the Pasha could for some time have held the Mahdists in check if th«
rebellion had uot occurred.
As it is, all the fruits of Emin’s long and self-sacrificing labors have been scattered to the winds. It is the natural result of England’s abandonment of the Soudan, when she had it in her power to crush the Mahdl. It means that unless the civilized world is content to be thus defeated by the fanatical hordes of Khartoum, abandoning the heart of Africa to cruelty, slave stealing and Islam, and submitting to the paralysis of every European enterprise that is push" ing inland, what has been lost must be regained at far greater cost in blood and treasure than would have been required when Wolseley was almost face to face with the Mabdi. It remama to be seen whether the Arab or the white man is to rule in Africa, and the fate of the Dark Continent for weal or woe depends upon the answer to
this question.
The great explorer is bringing home with him a wealth of geographical information. At last the immense region between the Congo and the Nile, and the western half of /the country between Victoria Nyanza and Muta Nzige are to appear on the maps, not as white spaces, but full of mountains, forests, plains, lakee, and tribes. In its contributions to scienoe the re wilts of this expedition can be second only to his mapping the Congo. Stanley is worthv of and wilfreceive the world’s best plaudits for the brilliant success of the enormous undertaking, which, very likely, closes his active
career in Africa.
