"That la a right good Joke I heard

and 1 <rfl li because 1 know the major
lovqj a Joke us well as vunj txviy i n thta
roiukl wortd. even if it Is on himself.
The «bnr *tm like thta; Ueconkw Free
man was out of the city yesterday
morntaig. Mayor Homo could not be
found, or cortapi ws» <oo busy when
found, and bo Abe major was colletl on
to presMi over the recorder's court.
The major wild of course he would, thn-l
his priix'lrui object In running for tbe
chalnmn-nshl'p was to get « whack at
the recorder s count occasionally. Just
to show hlB frhvnd, Jutlre Friennn,

who looks after <ho recorder's court
with the Wt a fbl»nr looks after his
cSilkl, called oo the mo Jar to hoki court
when he iha-t the recorder ami
tbe ma>-br could not be had, and the
major "AO right." of course he
would. A few minutes kiU'r he said,
"By rtve way, iCTCHIK, let n>' see the
docket, The sergeant showed
him an unusually large docket with a
great variety of cases on It. "Now,
iH'rwant." he WO, "how la this thing

two or three snue cssv. "Wha( must
I do with them?" the rnaXv asked.
'Bind 'em over,” said the sergeant. The
major looked a little dubious, but said
no more, ex/cept to ask whout Uino h«*
mu«‘ be Ml hamJ. "At 11 o’clock charp."
said ifie aergtant. "All right," said the
major; ‘Til be »ihere." At 11 o’clock
tbe major dhfowed up promptly, but it
was to .tell Lh*i sesveamt thru be l»ad to
ufi’iid mi bnpor?^ nr. <v.*inrnHt>f«-Tweetkvg
anVl to request the chief of police to
adjourn the court. Thla was done, and
consequently no cases were tried.
I was talking with one of the most
prominent members of the board or
education yesterday, and *the subject
was the large number of applicants
for the two vacancies created a week
or two ago by the reslgna'uon of two tif
the teachers in the school. "I would
like to have been, able to give each one
of those girls a position as tacher," he
said, 'but of course we only had room
tor two. By the way, there is another
little woman 1 wish we could have
given a teacher's place, and one tlia’t
several of us took deep Interest in. I
wonder where she Is?” he added par
enthetically ns If to himself, and then
resuming, he asked me if I had heard
about her. I replied that I did not
know, ns I did not have any idea to
whom he had reference. “Well, she
wsa a young woman of refinement sent
out here to 'teach In the Ballard Nor
mal School. She was from Massachu-
sotte, T think, and was sent down here
by some society in Washington. She
had long been anxious to come South,
a> when the position was offered her,
she came without asking nr y questions.
When she got here she found that the
Ballard Normal School was a negro
school, and 'that she would he expect-
td to teach negroes. She felt insulted
by the society that sent her here, and
absolutely refu*d to go about! the ne
gro. schools. She then appealed to us,
but we had no vacancy. She even
offered to 'take the smallest country
school, as she liked Georgia awl the
people here, and wanted to remain,
but there was absolutely no opening,
although, J tell you, I wanted to give
that woman a place mighty had. 'fliere
wa* no mistaking that *be was every
inch a Cady, and my sympathies were
aroused, <i« wtre those of other mem
bers of the board. Yes, sir: J would
lijce to know what lias become of her,
as she can depend On help from us
whenever we are in position' to ex
tend It."

UES3 BRUTAL POOTBAHL.
Suggtations by Cnpt. Hlnkey of Some
Changes in thio Rule*.
Frank A. Hlnkey, who has Just re
tired from the captaincy of itlie Yale
root ball eleven and has been succeeded
by S. B. Thorne, ’06, Informally dis
cussed football with a representative of
the New York Times. He was asked
to give his suggestions bn bow to make
foots all less rough, and how to Improve
Che gaime; also whether or not this
year's rules made the game any less
brutal or dangerous.
Mr. Hlnkey said that he wasn’t quite
■prpaired to definitely talk on these as
pects of the game without looking Mto
ihe football rules a little more, and Just
at present he hadn’ t time to do Uhls, be
cause of tho semi-annual examteaitlon
at the university. In a general way,
however,'he made the following obsurv-
atlons:
Now, about malting football Jess
rough. The way I look at it. rthe game,
ns has been said :t good many times.
Is naturally a rough hard one. You
can't mke anything else out ot it than
a rough game. There fs, or should be.
a limit to the rougfaness, but what thalt
limit Is It fs hard to decide.
One way to got rid of tho unnecessary
roughness and foul tactics, and I 'think
the matr.way and the best way. and
probably the only wuy. that would elim
inator It, Is that in coaching teams the
players Shall bo -taught, and It should
be Insisted upon, that all their efforts
should be directed to legitimate foot
ball, and that they should restrain their
tempers. By.'this I don’t mean to be un-
donstood to say ttrat it necessarily fol
lows thuit a man Indulges In roughness.
But the man should restrain himself
and should be made to restrain himself
ftaorn attempting aayhting of tho sort. I
think it all depends to a great extent—
In fact It mostly depends—on the Indi
vidual player Mm self, despite -the coach
ing and everything else.
Then, ug.i;n, Ithere are a few points
as regard* the rules itfinf mgni fie
changed a little,, or at least insisted
upon Stronger thian they are, whlafi will
help 'to ‘eliminate ;the kllsjgretuble
fea/tures of the game. I have not look
ed 'the rules ’through enough to take
up all those ipoints. One of them is In
relation to pfllns on a man when
thrown. The rule requires 'tWat whon
a m'an Js tackled and thrown upon the
ground the referee shaR. blow Ms whis
tle. nnd niftorjtihat any piling on by
dlher men is penalized toy fifteen yards.
The object of this rule, as I have un
derstood It, Is to proven!) any unneces
sary piling on, and the 1*11118 on with
the deliberate intention to Injure ri
man.
"This rule has wlofkcd pretty well
this year, in a wtay, I think, because
It htas prevented a good deal of this
Piling on when 'tlho man Is thrown.
But It 'Ought to toe Insisted upon even
more strongly than It has been during
ithe last year. I dlon’t think the rule
needs chnnging in Itself, out the um
pire and the referee chould be made to
en'force'i't more strongly.
“Then there one feature of 'the
game which Is disagreeable to the spec
tators, and has iho appea.nanco of
roughness in It, that Is, the Interfering
w3th the centre while snapping the bait.
Tho rule this year says that ithe cen
tre shall "have full possession of the
ball, and interference with the ball
’■by Ms opponent shall toe penalized."
li Hihilnk 'the rule ought to be made to
read 'Interference with the centre's
snipping of ithe ball!, or w'h'Ue putting
it in play, by any of the opposing
team.’ Such a change would take In
any person on the opposing team.
“With regard to-tlhe flair oaitch. The
rule this yew requires that la. man
to make a fiafr catch must raise his
hand and mark ithe spot with ilia heel
while catching the ball, nnd the side
making the fair Cfifroh must take a
free kick from the place where tbe
ft*- c’lt-c- —ode. This puls them—
tha't Is, the side making tlhe fair catch
—.4. a d..-uuv.tntage, because their
rushers cannot get down under ,lhe
ball, except a short high kick no made.
Because of this disadvantage in making
a fair catch, the captains thla year
havo insisted that no fair catches be
made, and this allows the catcher to
too thrown aftor catching the tall
If, instead ot compelling a able to make
Oi fair oitch 'they be allowed to have
the ball down on the a pot, and then are
cam'polled to kick, the .Ilsndvant.ijto of
making a fair catch would bo i; itten
rid of, as the rushers could then gat
down under n log punt.
"With regard to whither this year’s
rules -made ithe game any less brutal
or dangerous, in file fret p'ice, I con
sider that all the brutal play, er the
getting rid of It, d“p-nds on fine indi
viduals themselves. Ru!->s cannot whol
ly eliminate it. That rule I spoke of
regarding the referee and umpire blow
ing -their wills it’s when a tnin Is
-thrown, ought to t,lke out n greal deal
of the danger In the game. The par
tial ruling out of momentum mass plays
has gotten rid of a great deal of *xiin
work which ;s u»t necessary to do In
play.
"That rule about the fair catch has
worked almost f- the contrary .to whni
was expoced ot It ”
STEAMER ON FIRE.
St. Johns, N. F., Doe. 18,-Tho British
steamship Oakon Hall, which, sailed

PERFUMERY’. ,
Tlio "thoughtful patriot” who la for
mer days usid to view n luge variety
dt tilings with alarm , should have 111*
aiatontion caUed to tho growing toOTdcn-
cy of Aimeiriain srpazui to make use of
pvrfuanery. An canlnent Frundt stu-
deot of imlcrobjis bus recontly turned
Uls attention to tine saidy of perfumes
and their effect upon lumnun lxalngs,
and he Iras 'arrived nt 'the eonoluslon
Unfit perfumes are, on 'the whole, much
morn donvxaliahg than alcohol or
opium. He may or <nviy not bo right
in his conaaisions, hut the facts which
be mari-fiaito In Biippoffi of his tticory
certainly deserve to be 'treated with re
spect.
Now, the Freoctwmo already men
tioned has (Uaoovcred fihn.t the use of
perftrmery 4s UTo aause, and nor the
oonsetiuence, of Immorality. Tills the
ory of tlte danOMbang effoat of iwr-
funics Is also exempliflot tn die case
of flower girls. i't»e morals of the oon-
tinoiml flower girt are notoriously and
doptoralfly bad. Tills, Sn the French
man's opinion, is due to the fact that
she is ronoiocstly under the Influence of
■.lie iiortniR.' ,>f the Anver* in which
she trades. The scent of vtolors nnd
roses, teat to spade of sciB more demor
alizing flowors. Is with her from early
dawn HU night, uind die result fs that
she rap’tUy acquires to brawm impu-
dtnee which ds the dhanaOtoriatlo of her
tribe.
In Engluul. tho flower girl (s tnva-
r-ilHy addiotvd ito gin o-ml to bonnets

the <y« ot every good mm and wu-
moa. Tho yoting women who mils

table; for, If three were merely the con
sequences of tramping tbe sirvets ami
trying to sett flowvra, stmilar results
wmid attend the sale ot vegetables by
perlpatetlo women.
Finally, we are asked to note that the
use of perfumery by a man la almost
universally looked upon as a proof that
lie Is unworthy of confidence or respect.
The young man who applies for any sort
of employment, with his handkerchief
scented with opoponax, musk or any oth
er perfume Is certain to be rejected. What
sane merchant would employ a clerk who
openly used perfumery? What possible
chance of securing the votes of the peo
ple would a politician have who should
present himself to his constituents reek
ing with any perfume except that of
whisky—which, Indeed, as every one
knows. Is not, properly speaking, a per
fume, and should be scientifically classed
as a "smell." That the man who uses
perfumery Is virtually an outcast among
his fellow-men. even In this country. Is
notorious. Curiously enough, there Is a3
yet no public sentiment which disapproves
of the use of perfumery by our women.
If, however, the theory of the French
man fs true, a movement for the rescue
of American women from the dangerous
Influence of perfumery should bo at once
begun. The Woman's Christian 'Temper
ance Union, which has always room for
one more "fad," should at once undertake
a crusade against perfumery. For a so
ciety to spend a largo part of Its ener
gies in depriving the Hindu of his opium,
or German professors of their beer, and
at the same time to make no effort to
save American women from the perfume
which slays both by day and hy night,
seems to be somewhat of a waste of time
and strength.—New York Times.
