sination the mone became worthless, and
buincss was at a standstill Man of the
Lusiness houses closed up and manj more
id no business whatever.
No -one knew the future of the monej
and it had not een a speculate e value.
Now, with the new admimstra ion insa lei
and a alue placed upon the silver, trans
actions are possible. The 20 cents on the
dollar at which the silver circulates is ar
med at in a queer waj. There is 8 cents
worth of silver in the dollar, it is said;
it costs C cnts a dollar to make and ship
it here, and that no one can take chances
on counterfeiting it for less than 5 cents
This, added together, makes the 20 cents
at which the dollar is accepted This gics
stabllftj to the currencj and permits
business transactions, so there is a gen
eral revival of business. The stores have
reopened and the foreign vessels are
bringing the largest imports of recent
j ears Still, the currencj at its piesent

the climatic fever, no one ever had it, but

NEW YORK, March 5 It is said that
Princeton will not follow Yale's new idea
of making the spring football training a
setson bj itself, for the development u
new plajs and the exposition or theories
On the contrarj. Captain Pell will follow
the precedent of other jears, and will con
duct the spring practice and the fall work
also on the same lines that have been
followed out in previous jears
The reasons for this decided stand on the
question as to whether or not some of the
radical Innovations planned bj the New
Haven University should not be introduced
at Princeton, were set forth bj Captain
Pell in a recent Interview. While he ad
mitted that the plans cantalned undeniabla
merit and advantages as being applicable
to the situation at Yale, still, on the othei
hand, as far as Princeton was concerned
these innovations would not onlj be impos
sible as things stand now, but would hi
wholly unnecesarj for the further devel
opment of the New Jersey eleven
In the first place, the Princeton captain
showed that the conditions prevailing at
the two institutions were whollj different
While at Yale the adoption of Captain
Brown's policy would be advantageous at
Princeton it would be postivelj detrimen
tal to the other branches of athletics At
New Haven there are between 2 500 and
3 000 men, at Princeton half that number
It is evident that the resources of the two
universities are whollj different Natural
ly where this condition of affairs exist at
a smaller college the men who enter ath
letics must be more versatile and must
make up the membership of not onlv one
but of other teams also This condition
or things is true at Princeton At New
Haven on the other hand, where there arc
so manj men to draw upon to make up
the different sports, a man can and usual
lj does make a specialtj of one thing Of
course there are exceptions, but thib prin
ciple on the whole will hold true It will
be seen that lale has enouga men to piaj
football alone to make up a good-sized
srnng squid for the experiments that are
planned without weakening anj of the
other athletic teims bj taking from them
men who are members of both teams
'the Mtmitltni nt Princeton.
At Princeton the reverse is true If the
plan promulgated at New Haven were to
be adopted at Princeton of making the
spring practice so important a part of the
football vear. It would necessitate the with
drawal of enough men from other Prince
ton teams to take part in the practice to
not onlj cripple, but posaiblj dettrov these
other spring teams
Accordinglv the spring work at the New
Jerscv institution will be of the same or
der as in previous jears It will begin
nhonf th. middle of next month and will
cover three and possiblj four weeks The
work will be almost exciustveij ior trie
backs Thej will, as usual, be Instructed
in kicking running the ball hrndllng
punts and returning the same, or runniLg
the ball In upon the catching of kicks Al
though the limited resources of Princeton
are assigned bj Captain Pell as the reason
of tho failure of the New Jersejmen to
take up the new plans of Yale the real
reason maj possiblj be found elsewhere
Apparentlj reljing upon the prestige that
the -victories of the last two jears have
given Princeton Captain Pell feels that
nothing out of the ordinarv is necessarv in
order to turn the trick again next fall He
sajs that he is pcrfectlv satiEfied with tho
material and is confident of turning out a
verv good eleven next fall On the other
hand the plan outlined bv "iale wa qaite
feasible for that univcrsitv as with the
defeats of the past two vears fresh in re
membrance something radical had to be
done to regain some of the football cham
pionships that formerlv rell to the lot or
the New Haven team
In view of these reasons Captain Pell un
besitatlnglj stated that the plan Princeton
was following out and would follow out was
virtuallj the same as that of other vears
with po&slblv one exception This excep
tion is that several of the line men had
been taught boxing and wrestling and nave
thus been getting into condition or rather
kept in condition. It maj be interesting to
note that this idea of training men bv box
ing and wrestling methods is a pet thcorj
of A A Stagg of the Universitj of Chica
go This idea has also met with the ap
proval of tbe "Vale authorities to a certain
extent. But as Mike Murphv of the Unl
versitj of Pcnnsjlvania, who returns to
Yale next fall, has publiclj expressed hm
disapproval of this scheme, it maj safelv
be expected that Yale will have to dispense
with that idea after this jcar.
V tlmiiKc in Ideas.
If Princeton thought it to her advantage
to adopt this idea of spring work, the
ract that it was brought berore the foot
ball world by Yale, or anj other univer
sltj, would not affect her decision in the
matter in the least This is a decided va
riance with the condition a few jears ago,
when each of the so called Big Tour had a
stjle of plaj peculiarly its own. In this
stjle thej had everj confidence, so much
so, in fact, that thej refused to deviate
from it for anj cause whatsoever. This
stubbornness in refusing to avail them
selves of good Ideas slmplj because they
were brought forward by other colleges,
naturally retarded the development of the
game But now all these big universities,
with the exception of the Universitj of
Pnnncilvanla. virtuallv nlay the same kind
of game This game is directlj traceable
to two causes, First, the rule committee,
and secondlj, the defeats that have been
suffered in the past. It has been gradu
ally forced upon them after several suc
cessive defeats that some other football
team might possibly have some good ideas
upon the subject as well as thej them
selves This has naturally tended to
broaden the spirit of inter-collegiate foot
ball considerablj.
The situation of a few jears ago was
practicallj this Harvard was noted for her
flying interference and other chess board
stunts Princeton for her close formations,
known as "the turtle back revolving
wedge" The University of Pennsjlvanla
for her famous guards back, and Yale for
the formation of interference-for end runs
and her general open stjle of plaj
When Harvard first Introduced her fly
ing interference it was not developed to
anv thing like its real possibilities, and the
other colleges got together and through
their representatives on the rules commit
tee saw to it that it never was, and it was
ruled out as being dangerous to life and
limb Harvard was thus compelled to
adopt somecning eise, anu sue aaopieu
open tactics
Princeton's turtle-back wedge two years
later met with the same fate, that i, that
of abolition at the hands of the rules com-'
mittee Now the committee thojght they
had straightened matters out so that the
onlj game left was the open gaire or
straight game as plajed bj all with the
possible exception of the University of
Pennsjlvanla But it was here that Prince
ton fooled them complctelj, conceiving as
she did that she could still, with a few
slight modiDcations, play the same forma
tions as before She proceeded to spring
these modified plays on Yale, whom she
caught without any developed defence for
these play6 And, as it will be remem
bered, gave Yale the worst beating sfce
ever received This was ,in 1896, when

and without losing it for a tingle time,
rushed it down the field for a touchdown

see the experiment tried out There la not
the slightest doubt that if an degree of
eucfess attends lales experiments in this
line, not only Princeton, but all the other
universities, will be too willing to copy
this plan Since the stvle of game plaved

was 5 30 o'clock when he succeeded in un
doing the ropes that held him, and, jump
ing out of a rear window, he ran to the
house of his employers, which is only half
a block distant.
Tlie McN'allys went to the shop and
found the safe blown open and a number
of papers scattered about the floor, while
an open window showed the direction in
which the burglars had made their escape
The McN'allys learned that two suspicious
looking men had been seen by a hotel
keeper at the crossing of the Hudson
countj trolley road near the Fort Leo
Ferry at midnight.
Thomas McN'allj said that he thought
the burglars were Hudson county men,
and that thej expected to make a large
haul in the belief that the funeral ex

whose funeral was atttended by more than
sixty carriages, had been paid The bill
was not paid until Saturday afternoon,

would not be reported to the police, be
cause he thought there was little chance
of finding the offenders

the stern opposition of President Huey, of
the board of education; President Thomp

and good wishes for President Kruger and
the South African Republic, and on Satur
day with no studies to attend to. started
in to get the 10,000 signatures they had
determined upon securing.

tricted, over a thousand boys, with copies
of the petition, canvassed for signatures,
visiting stores and private houses In
every school district stations were estab
lished, where the paper was left to be
signed.
The original intention was to have 10,000
schoolboys sign it, but last night the limit
had been more than reached, and half the
signers were grown folk.
The greeting is topped by an illustration
of the Liberty Bell and the American col
onist of 1776 and the Boer of 1900 seeking
freedom, gun In hand. "For the liberty
of the Trans-vaal," the greeting is entitled.
It reads as follows

the public schools of Philadelphia, the city
where our forefathers enlisted in their
splendid and successful struggle against
England's oppression, desire to express to
you and to the fighting men of the South
African Republic their great admiration
for the genius and courage that has
checked English invasion of the Transvaal,
and the undersigned extend their most
earnest wishes that in the end the South
African Republic will triumph over Eng
land in a war in which the Boer cause is
noble, the English cause unjust."

was considerably modified when it was
