DAY BBTWSKIi GOPHERS AND I
NORTHWESTER^ J
EVANSTON EXPECTS TO WIN
Purple Players From the Bis City
by the Lake Have All .Sorts
of Confidence in
Result.
Interest i.= growing rapidly in the Mmv
v 1.1-.Northwestern game, to be played
at Northrcp field next Saturday after
noon. The tact that Northwestern sev
eral wi-.-ks ago played a tie game with
Illinois^, which Minnesota defeated by '-i
to 0 last Saturday, coupled with reports
to the effect, that the Northwestern team
was Disintegrating, had led Minnesotans
to believe that Northwestern was an
easy mark. There is, therefore, a good
deal of surprise at the confident feel
ing that exists at Evanston as well as at
the feeling that seems to exist elsewhere,
that Northwestern will win the game.
Manager McCutcheon, of the lowa uni
versity team, says he is betting his mon
ey on Northwestern. The wish with
him Is, perhaps, father to the thought,
as defeat for Minnesota at the hands of
Northwestern would mean an easy so
lution, perhaps, of the championship
controversy. If Manager McCutcheon 9
opinion as to the outcome of the Minne
sota -Northwestern game is .shared by all
lowaus, it is certainly up to. Minnesota
to win, and to win by a good big mar
gin.
It Is within the power of Minnesota to
put a very different complexion on the
face of the Western championship con
troversy by playing future antagonists
this fall to a standstill. A decisive defeat
jf Northwestern would force upon
-the iowans a realization of the fact that
Minnesota has good ground for claiming
1 a place at the very front. This the
towans seem not to have reached; other
. wise they would hardly be betting on a
victory tor Northwestern, especially in
the light of the records of the two teams.
But it will not do to take a victory for
glut!*.. ii in advance. There is no ques
tion but that Northwestern has im
proved during the past two weeks. Vic
tory over Chicago has given Northwest
. em a record to defend, and hence an
other spur to good play next Saturday.
Here is what the Chicago Tribune says
Of the feeling that exists at Evanston:
"Only a few tandem plays were tried,
the practice being extensively against
the Gophers. A formation is being tried
that will get every man into the inter
ference. If this play can be perfected
before- Saturday it will prove a hard
proposition for Minnesota. Never has
the present team been so confident of
winning any game as it is sure of tri
umph, over the Gophers. There has been
a complete reversal of feeling from that
of last Saturday, when the purple team '
went to Marshall field almost sure of
defca i and hoping only for a small score.
No player hesitates to express his be
lief that Minnesota will be the next vic
tim. '
The- Record, in speaking of Monday's
practice by the Northwestern teams,
says:
"The men played with a snap and
dash which they showed against Chica
go, the play being faster than any which I
las ihas far been seen on Sheppard field.
hid plays were given more attention than
usual, and it is the general feeling that
the purple will rely chiefly on end plays i
to v. in from the heavy Minnesota team.
Johnson was given the ball for end runs
repeatedly, and the speedy end followed
his Interference in fine style. The whole i
■ team showed an improvement in forming !
Interference quickly and compactly,' !
every man on the team getting into the
play."
The management of the V team has
. ai;'"' arrangements to cut the prices
for Saturday's game, which will be the
last championship game on the home
grounds. The only reserved seats will
be tho-e under the roof of the grand
stand. Ail other seats can be had at
admission prices.

The Minneapolis Central • High School
football team defeated the Mechanic Arts
school, of this city, yesterday afternoon
on Minneapolis grounds by the disastrous
score of -13 to 0. The central scored sev
en touchdowns and successfully kicked
every goal. The mechanic arts' team was
completely at the mercy of the Min\eapo
lis team. The difference in weight is re
sponsible for part of the score. The Min
neapolis Centrals play the St. Paul Cen
tral am at Lexington park tomorrow
afternoon. St. Paul will be creditably
represented In this contest, as the local
team his l» -. n working hard under pro
ficient coaches for some time. The out
come is uncertain, with the chances
slightly in favor of the Minneapolis team
owing to their weight.

Bernard Carroll, of Detroit, who admin

of Bay City, that caused the latter's
death last Tuesday night, was exoner

Harry Vardon. open golf champion of
America, was robbed of his jewelry and
many of the valuable cups and medals
that he has won on the golf courses this
season, last Saturday at the Apawamis
Golf club in Rye, N. Y. The noted golfer
was also deprived of his gold watch and
chain and $100 in bills.
It is possible that Slosson and Sutton
will meet in a match soon. Schaefer,
when he arrived in New York, said there
' was a party in Chicago willing to back
Slosson In a match at elghteen-inch

night that he would consider a challenge
from Sutton if he was willing to play
two matches for $1,000 a side.
The sale of the furniture of the Corbett
household at the warerooms of Floyd,

excitement when it was auctioned off
Many curiosity seekers were on hand,
who fully expected, apparently, to ob
tain the blood-soaked gloves with which
the only James placed Mr. "Sullivan hora
dv combat, or possibly the punching baa;
with which Mr. Corbett did such heroic
service down at Bath beach. They were
disappointed, for the sale was only of
the furnishing of the house in Harlem
which Mrs. Corbett. has no further use
for. Just what the net receipts were could
not be obtained, though it was said Mr
Corbett who is now playing an engage
ment hi Chicago, will be surprised when
he learns the figures. The sale was not
as successful as might have been an
ticipated.

ANOTHER COl XT IN HENNEPIN RE
DUCES VAX'S PLURALITY
TO 022
REPUBLICANS BADLY SCARED
Sentiment More Than Ever in Favor
of the Recount of the En
tire Vote in the
State.
Before election Van Sant was going
to carry Hennepin-county, according to
the claims of Republicans, by at least
3,000. The day alter election he had
carried it, according to the same author
ity, by a little less than this number,
and . the next day, his margin had
shrunk a little more. The dwindling
process - went on from day to day, as
the facts were more nearly revealed,
until, .upon the face of the returns, four
days after the election, it appealed, and
the Republicans had to concede it, that
Van Sant had only carried Hennepin
by something like 900—less than the
1,000 mark. This was quite a slump from
the original 3,000, and there was a se
rious depression around Republican
headquarteis and in other party camps.
But the edict went forth after a delib
erate conference of the . chiefs, with the
Choctaw brave as the arbiter of the
momentous occasion, that every Repub
lican should maintain a strong front,
giving evidence of apparent satision
and of feelings intact. Though the
breeze -was chilling and the clouds that
certainly hung over the political /Uion
of Tarns et al. decidedly threatening,
everybody was to be undaunted and
confident and serenely indifferent to the
terrible slump in the Hennepin vote. i
It was a bluff to be admired. ■
One week and a half has elapsed !
since the election day. The returns are
gradually strolling in bora the last dis
tricts of the state, and official state
ments are daily becoming more possible,
but in the present light of the situation
there is nothing to brighten the fading
hopes of the Republicans who have been
hoping against h. pe that old Hennepin
would not show 'any further decline.
Another veil has been removed, and the
ballot boxes in Hennepin county only
show a majority of C 22 for Van Sant.
Three thousand! Six hundred and twen
ty-two! And the end is not yet!
The feeling of Democrats generally all
over the state and of the sentiment that
pervades the state headquarters in this
city is accurately reflected by an inci
dent that took place yesterday in Secre
tary Canfield's office, In the Merchants'
hotel.
Swan J. Turnbladt, the well known
editor of the Minneapolis; Posten,
dropped into the office and left tm mem
orandum for a -check of $500 to be ap
plied on a fund for defraying- the ex
penses of contesting the election of Sam
uel R. Van Sant to the governorship
of Minnesota. The Democrats seem to
be a unit in their determination to de
mand a" recount of the vote. Mr. Turn
bladt bases his desire for a recount
upon what he knows of the election re
turns in his own, Hennepin, county. r:t
The Ramsey county legislative dele
gation, both Democratic and Republic
an, have selected the Merchants' hotel
as their headquarters.
J. Adam Bede went down to Winona
Tuesday night to inform the people
"officially" of the election of one of
their townspeople to the office of gov
ernor of Minnesota. Mr. Bede Is credited
with making a very clever little speech,
but the difficulty came about in con
vincing his audience that he was really
in earnest in his remarks. Between
Jadarn's- proneness to "josh" and the
grave doubt surrounding Van Sant's
election, many of those present were
disposed to treat the matter rather
lightly.
W. E. Getty, of Duluth, came down to
St. Paul yesterday, with one of those
"i'ou-can't-lose-me" expressions on his
face, and it is said spent part of his
time here in conference with Capt. Van
Sant, who chanced to be in the city.
Getty was formerly surveyor general of
logs at Duluth, under the Clough
regime, the position now held by John
D. Brady, and his friends believe he is
again after the same place under Capt.
Van Sant, should it be proved that the
Winona man is elected governor.
Samuel R. Van Sant yesterday morn
ing, before leaving his home at Wi
nona, received just 116 letters; not a
large delivery, but a fair sample of his
daily receipts since one day last week.
All but 100 of the letters were from ste
nographers who are out of employment
and desirous of criming to the good cap
tain's rescue in answering the kind mis
sives of his numerous correspondents.
The balance came from hungry office
seekers, willing to take a chance of be
ing disappointed in not getting the "of
fice." should the official count or the re
count show Gov. Lind ejected instead
of their much-sought-after friend, Capt
Van Sant.
ON A IHSINESS BASIS.
Amateur Athletic Club's Finances
Are in Good Shape.
The board of directors of the new Ama- >■
teur Athletic association held a short ses- I
sion last night. The admission of a num- i
ber of new members was' approved and '
some bills audited. The directorate is i
highly pleased with the showing the club
is able to make and feels that the club :
is no longer an experiment, but is on a |
i permanent basis. However. the organiza- i
: Hon has not yet enrolled as many mcm
i bers as was set as a mark, but it is *
likely that the deficiency will be made up j
very shortly. All active members have
| paid their- dues and the club is on a
Arm financial foundation. In fact, the
club has made it a* maxim not to incur
any indebtedness or spend any funds that ;
are not actually in the treasury, and the i
results of the "business-like manner of !
commoting the affairs of the club are
very apparent.
It is regretted that the club has felt
under tho necessity for the past few
. months of accepting the kindly offer of
Prof. Kasson to act as physical director
; without compensation for as much of his
time as he able to spare from his busi
ness, II is hoped that ln a measure, at
! least, something can be done before very
| long to recompense him partially for his
j valuable work.

FOUR MEALS A DAY.
And Sometime* Five Allowed Roust
abouts on River Bouts.
; New Orleans Times-Democrat.
< The negro routabouts are tremendous
i eaters. One of their stipulations in the
formal demand which they made a few
days ago was for four meals a day on
ordinary shifts, i and five meals when
they worked up to a* certain hour in the
night. On most-of the boats the meal
service is about' as- follows: The first
breakfast is served early in the morning;
at 9 o'clock there is a second breakfast
of a more substantial character; at noon
I a hearty dinner; at 6.o'clock supper, and
i at 10. at night a nameless repast fully
as bountiful as any of the others. Corn
bread, fat bacon, cow pease and molasses
are the staples of the diet. Occasionally
the cook prepares a. -sort of pudding or
"duff," composed of,.cornmeal and flour
sweetened with syrup. Some of the boats
vary the diet with rice, but, as a rule, it
is not relished by 'the men. "Booties
coffee" is also served by liberal provid
ers, and it Is generally given to the
hands of they want it early In the morn
ing.
The quality and quantity of food have
an important bearing, on the ability of a
steamboat to get a crew promptly. A
craft that feeds badly is certain to ac
quire an evil reputation among the
rousters," and . they will avoid it irre
spective of wages offered. Tills fact
has been Impressed upon the owners by
numerous disagreeable experiences in the
past, and the consequence is that there
is at present little or no complaint on the
score of diet. The negroes themselves
admit that the Mississippi boats feed
their men exceptionally well.

known, caused a tremendous amount cf
excitement in the city, out of all pro
portion to the importance of the affair
itself.
The crazy assailant having brooded
over his lowly birth until he imagined
himself of the imperial lineage had ap
plied in vain at the imperial household
department to have his claim recognized..
He determined to attract public attention
in some way, which he succeeded in fin
ing in the most effective way by throwing
his purse and then his wooden clogs at
the passing procession. , '■ ~

The perils accompanying the use of the
kodaks by foreigners in Janan was
amusingly illustrated by a recent inci
dent. Among the first telegrams recclvej
by Baron Kaneko, the newly apopinted
minister of justice upon his accession to
office was one from Shimonozoki, an.
nouncing that two young men named
Burden and Winthrop, belonging to Bos
ton families of the highest respectability
had been arrested in the act of taking
photographs in the vicinity of the forti
fications there and asking for instiuctions
to what should be done with them. The
minister of justice, who as president ot
the Harvard club, had only a few even
ings before entertained the Bostonians at
dinner of the club and could therefore
vouch for their not being foreign sides,
at once wired orders for their immediate
release.
The new ministry is looked upon with
the greatest interest and favor by for
eigners as it is without doubt far more
favorably disposed toward the latter than
any which has been in power for some
years past. .'*•_"'

A young gentleman, whose character is above reproach, promi
nent in the religious circles of a Pennsylvania village, an extorter of
the M. E. Society there, Secretary of the Quarterly Conference, and
at one time President of die Christian Endeavor Society, has long
been a user of Ripans Tabules, and says of them : " They keep my
bowels open, they do not gripe, they do not purge, and I do net have
bad pains in my stomach any more, which I had, with dyspepsia and
constipation, for years— in fact, up to about three days after I began
taking the Tabules. There used to be some kinds of food my stomach
would sicken on—pork, for instance. I could not eat it without having
distressed feeling. Now everything goes down, pork and greasy
food. that used to make me sick to think of. I always have a few of
the /A acmes mmy pocket tor use if occasion arises."

Remember
That!
with several antagonists.and other things
of this sort familiar in chess, are practi
cable in checkers. The reason of this Is
plain, because the chess forces are p'c
turesque, and the board at any partic
lar moment makes a clear picture in the
mind of the expert, and his brains holds
these separate pictures of knights, sh
ops. pawns, queens, rooks and klng3 as
each game orders them, with compara
tive ease, though the strain is very gr-at.
Whereas the mere numbers of individ
ually Indistinguishable draughts can cre
ate no picture, and each game, demands
the closest attention of the actual [div
er. , Checkers, or draughts, is not only
the elder game but it is the oldest intel
lectual game known, having been played
certainly for more than 4,000 years, as
Egyptian paintings bear witness. It was
brought into European use probably not
more, than four or live centuries ago. In
New England it was the one game of the
forefathers, who brought it from Eng
land, and while It is so simple that any
body can play it somehow, it is go diffi
cult that there are few eminent players.
The literature of the game is no'ihing in
comparison with that of chess. There m
o embroidery about it—no frills, bo to
speak. It is plain, down-right hard work.
An Unexpected Reply.
Senator Depew was rudely interrupted
during his efforts to make" a. speech at
CobSeskill early In the week, but ore of
the retorts to his remarks was clever
enough to bear repetition. "Is there a
man in this crowd who knows what 16 to
1 means?" asked the senator in an <■ f
course-there-is-not tone. "Yes," was the
prompt reply from an old son of X i.r
"it means, you have sixteen dagos to
wan Irishman on your big New York Cen
tral railroad." The senator gasped at
the retort, while the crowd roared.
