A few of the special features to be found in the Autumn numbers embrace Pretty Things In the Opening; Game tUo University Defeats Swnrtbmore. The foot ball season of 1890 was regularly opened yosterday by a practice game between the university of Pennsylvania and Swarth more Col lego. Noltber institution had out their representative teams, though that of Swarth more bad already played one match together.

Pennsylvania's contingent was little moro than the pick of those who are training for the 'Varsity eleven and many changes may yet be made in its make up. The score of 10 0 was a very small snowing lor the followers of old Ponn to make against their opponents, but when it is considered that the former eleven was wanting in organization and team play It does not seem so discreditable as at first sight. Play started at 8 P. M. on Swarthmore's grounds.

Whlttior Field, with the visitors occupying the west goal. Swarthmore had the ball in their possession and tried to advance it by tho old trick. This failed, however, and on four downs Pennsylvania took charge of it. Protty runs by Huldekopcr and Church and fair centre rushing by Thayer advanced tho ball to the twenty five yard line, where Thornton on a run around, by aid of good interference, scored the first touch down for the 'Varsity. Thayer made it a goal and the score stood 6 0.

Swarthmore now braced uo and began to push their opponents, and the result was a continued exchange of the ball betweon the sides iu which little ground was gained by cit her. Good Intorroronoe by Pennsylvania's rushers In a little timo, however, gave oppor tunlty tor Church and Thayer to get In some work by running, but in spite of this tho "red and blue" were unable to offect another touch down. Dewey, the University's right guard, was hurt and Uoodell took bis place, Timo was called Immediately after. i no second halt opened arter ten minutes' ntormlssion. and Swarthmore.

owlngto their superior condition, gradually forced Penn sylvania back. Thayor kicked on the third down and Swarthmore got the ball. On a rum Die, however, her opponents acquired possession of It. and Thaver. on a run through, was dragged over the goal 1 1 scoring another touch down.

The try at goal failed, and until timo was oalled nothing of importance was etrocted Dy either sido. Score, iu o. ine teams: University op Pa. RwARTtiMonw. Thayer Fullback Kotohara.

STORESAND DWELLINGS AS AN AMEX The Plant Covers a Space of Fonr Acres Kenr tho Abattoir, Costing $000,000, and Is Now Under Root. Any person standing within viewing distance of the western approach of" Market street bridge will have his attention attracted to a very largo brick building, or rather a series of buildings, on tho Schuylkill river front, Immediately adjoining the approach to Market street bridge on the south. It has every outward appearance of being a finished structure, and is not only tho most noted object along the line of the Schuylkill river, but is only equaled as a mass of brick worfe by the great sugar refineries on the i a. "vcriuuu It is the great business plant of the West Phjladelnliia Market Tfnnso rmran, 1 nllaaelPma iaricec House Company, ana consists not only of a very spacious market houso proper, but a series of adjoining build ings that will bo nsed for storage rooms, engine houses, etc. Under the market there has been constructed a number of heavily bnilt vaults, while as a sort of continuation of the market house on tho west is a rotf of stores, ten in number, with a two story brick building over each store.

The fronts of these stores are composed of dressed granite, quite ornamental in appearance. A MAMMOTH ENTERPRISE. The market house plant covers a space of ovor fouracros and stretches along the south sido of Markot street a distance of 573 feet. It has a general width of about 100 feet, not including the building on the southern end of tho plant. Tho cost of the enterprise will be about $600,000, and the projectors areall Philadel phians.

It is under the management aDd owned by a syndicate of capitalists. A Board of Directors has been selected, consisting of Dr. Filbert, of Datent navement celnbritv. who is president W. J.

Latta. general agent of the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company Charles A. Porter, chairman of tho Repub. lican city executive committee: Thomas Shrievcr and Joseph Martin, The entire plant was planned by and was built under tho supervision of Feltznaw. the engineer of tbe Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wilming ton oranen ol the nnsylvania Railroad.

the difhcnltics to be overcome in the erection of the building were great, but the louiKiation once secured the work of erection progressed with astonishing rapidity. i ne Dasemcnt rests on a. 900 firmlv driven piles, and in one basement aro twenty storage vaults that extend under the line' of the pavement on Market street. They are roofed at tho point by a very peculiar kind of cov ering known as the "Gustavino arch," and wnicn is its first introduction into this city. It combines strength, lightness and durabil ity, and is composed of cemented tiles so put together as to practically make the arch a monolith," ok one continuous solid mcce of stone.

Tho market house nroner extends aione Jiarket street a distance of 300 feet and the archway mentioned and vaults ex tend also that length. NOW UNDER EOOP. The entire plant is now roofed. Tho prin 0t the market house is being made of the TOO I l.tnnnm nomar, tlll. ir r.

A is nearly completed, and tho market house will be ready for occupancy by about the uuuuie oi ine montn. The contracts for all tho machinerv of the plant have been mado and it is nearly all ready, including tho boilers and eight elevators and also two very large ice ma chines, which will be used to freeze all the cold storage conservatories, and these ice machines, in addition to being nsed as re frigerators for everything connected with the market, will have the capacity of making forty tons of ice daily. The foundation of this market plant is over thirty feet below the level of Market street at this point and therefore a correct idea of the altitndo of tho building can hardly be obtained while walking past the building on Market street west of tho bridge. its good location. The spot on which this great market house Las been erected was selected with great care and circumspection as to its avail able nse, not only at tbo present time, but in the future.

It is in close proximity to the two principal bridges that cross the Schuylkill and it will supply the wants of the rapidly growing population of West Philadel phia, which is now in tho neighborhood of 150,000 people. llie plant has both railroad and tide water connections. A branch track of the Pennsylvania Eailroad runs directly along the lront ol the market house, and it has close connections with the main road of the Penn sylvania Company, that reaches all parts of the North and West. The market house almost adjoins the great abattoir which is fed by the Pennsylvania Eailroad, and there are no other market houses along the lino of the Schuylkill river. The new market houso will partake of the character of a bazaar and in addition to mar.

ket produce it will be a place for the sale in large or small quantities of all kinds of use ful and fancy articles and merchandise generally. It is so peculiarly situated that it is readily accessible not only from any part of the city, but from almost any part of the United States through its steam railroad. horse car railroad and tide water connections. This, added to the fact that it will be a sort of centre for tho sale of goods of all descriptions, will make the locality a busy scene of life and activity when the doors of the big market house are thrown open to tho public and business begins to be transacted within it walls. SIMPLE RULES OF CUTTING.

How a British Jack Tar Makes His Toas." From the Clothier and Furnisher. Thursday on board a British man of war Is called "Rope l'arn Sunday." and upon that day very little work and very few drills are performed. The forenoon is generally occu' pied with an inspection of the ship and men, by the captain; while in the afternoon, dl rectly tho dinnor hour Is ovor, "Make and mend clothes" is proclaimed from half a dozen brawny throats. it is not perhaps generally known, says a London contemporary, that tho clothes worn by our blue Jackets are not only purchased, but made by themselves; the pattern Is strictly laid down In tho regulations, but all else is left to the men, and Thursday after noon Is, by an unwritten law, set apart for the making and repairing day. The manner in which thegarments are cutout is most amusing, and the accessories used simple In tbe extreme.

Doubling his material longwise on the deck our "shell erect, and dropping hi8knlfeand lanyard plummet wise down tbo outside of his leg, he ascertains tbe height ot bis nether garments; this marked upon his material with a candle end, be proceeds to measure tbe tnsfde of the leg In a similar way; then the girth of tbe body divided in half Is shown, and the material narrowed down to tt, and lastly the wnlst measurement makes all complete. The rudder like appearance Is obtained by bavlng tbe bottoms of tbe legs the same size as half tbe glrtb, while the clot li between Is cut out. thus forming the baggy bottoms. ine lumper or jacket) is measured ana cut by equally slmplo rules, while toe breadth of thecrownor tne cap Is obtained by taking the distance from the top of one ear to the other over the top of the head with the knife lanyard. Pockets are cut to the, breadth of the wearer's hand, for it Is a saying that "a man's pockets are Intended for his own hand only." Yet with all this simplicity very neat fits are made.

PERMITTED TO LAND. The Two Priests Came Here as Leo turers Only. Special Deputy Collector Ingham yesterda made a thorough investigation of the cases of Drs. H. A.

Mllkenburg and I. Soentgerath, the two Koman Catholic priests who were detained on board the steamer Bclgenland, which arrived in this porton Tuesday, on the ground that they had violated the contract labor taws or tne united states. It was believed that they had come to this country under contract to teach theology in tbe Catholic school at St. Paul, at a salary of $800 per year. The clergymen signed affidavits statins that they were not undor contract to teach but would lecture In a number of American cities and having received no money would be paid lurmeir immures as oei lverea.

Collector CooDer ordered the rnleAsn nf thA men, stating that there was no violation of the contract labor act, as tho law permits lecturers to come to this country, and they are not Inoludod In the olass who are barred by its provisions, a of be at MORRIS PARK OPENING Racelnnd Again Dolents Flrenzl la a Itoynl ltattlo To Day's Kn trlos and Selections. VEU five thousand people wero in attendance at tho Gloucester track yesterday to wit ness the events down on tho card for the seventeenth day's racing. Sec rotary Griffith had done his work well and the uncertainty in all hut one event made tho betting brisk, tho twenty two hook makers having all they could do to attend to the public's demands. The weather was perfect and tho track in excellent condition, all of which lent additional interest to tho sport As four favorites were winners in as many events, tho talent went home happy. Leontino and King Arthur carried the money in tho first event with the odds in favor of tho first named.

It proved correct, for the favorite won handily, while the second choice fought Owen Golden to a tie for third honor. Cooeo was in the nature of a surprise in the second event. Willard was backed off the hoards, but ho ran unplaced. Sea Bird wasevcrybody's choice for the third race and he was sold against the field. Gypsy King was tho tip for tho fourth and a correct one, for under McDermott's masterly riding ho cantered homo an easy winner.

Woodburn and l'auama ruled favorites for tho last event, but tho first named again proved his superiority and won as he pleased. SC'MMATIY. FmsT ace, purse divided, selling wciguts, six and one balf furlongs. TiETTINO Starters. Wirt.

WANT TO BUILD BATTLE SHIPS.

Bids Opened for the Construction ol Four Bis Government Vessels. Washington, October 1 Bids were opened at the Xavy Department to day for the construction for the navy of three coast line battle ships and one protected triple screw cruiser, provided for by act of Congress approved June SO, 1890. There were two classes of bids for the battle sbips, one for their construction according to department's plans and the other according to the bidders' plans. The bids were as follows William E. Cramp Sons, of Philadelphia, offered to build one of the battle ships according to department plans for $2,990,000 and two of them for $5,780,000.

Using his own plans will build one tor $3,120,000 and two for $6,040,000. This firm offered to build the protected cruiser on department's plans for $2,725,000. The Union Iron Works, of San Francisco, offered to build one of the battle ships according to department's plans for $3, 240,000, and two of them for Their bid for the cruiser was $3,025,000. The Hath Iron Works, of Bath. offered to build one of the battle ships in accordance with the department's plans for $3,149,000, and the Kisdon Iron Works, of San Francisco, offored to build one of that class of vessels for S3, 275, 000.

There were no other bidders. In view of a provision of law that one of tho battleships shall be bnilt on the Pacific coast, it is likely that the Union Iron Works will get the contract for ono of the battle ships and the Cramps will probably get the contracts for the other two battle ships and tho protected cruiser.

AT LIPH'S END, Where Lanrenoe Ollphant Spent His Final Days. From the Spectator. Our own pilgrimage to Mount Carmel was chlclly to see the scones in which Laurence Olipbant spent tho last years of his life. The man who can claim any connection of kin dred or friendship with him is very welcome on Mount Carmel. The Gormans have a loving recollection of him, aud the Druses In tbe villages of the hills entertain an almost superstitious veneration for his memory and that of Sittl Alice, bis wife.

Few. Indeed, of the Inhabitants whom we raeot but have stories to tell of his practical love of bis neighbor and his chivalrous dovotion to tho cause of all whom ho found to be oppressed. The case of the Roumanian Jews who wero sent out nore Dy tne Jewish colonizing Society or their country, and who, finding no preparations made to receive them, were lett uuon tne streetB or Haita homeless, pen sllessand starving, till Laurence Oliphant iouk mem up, intiiiitaining tnewnoie num tier at nisown expense till satisfactory si rangoments could tw made for the establish ment of the colony, is one of the best known cases. But his chief wont lay among the wnora no uvea tor nan tne year at me uttio village or unnyen, nign up on Mount Carmel. But the Druse of ualllee is a sojourner in a strange land, disliked by both Christians and Mohammedans, and plundered by the government, which he is not strong enough to resist.

When Lau rence Olipbant came to Mount Carmel. ha found the unhappy Druses in despair, overburdened with apparently hopeless arrears of taxes, and he sot himself to work to retrieve their position, so far with considerable success.

Soetal and Political Ilnppenlnss at the German Capltnl. From a Correspondent of Thk Times. Berlin. September 21. Tbe engagement Is announced of Prince Solras, a popular officer In the Austrian army and a noted bon vlvant, with the Baroness Erlangor, a daughter of Baron Ludwlg and the former great songstress, Sessi.

I hear of a funny story in connection with the Emperor's visit to a little Sileslan town during the manoeuvres, whero the Burgomaster took it upon himself to introduce various of the town dignitaries to his Majesty. Fourteen of them were standing In a lino, and the Mayor commenced as follows: "Herr Peter Paul Schmidt, his Maiestvthe German Emperor, King of Prussia. Mark grave or urandenDurg. Jlorr lloinrlch Wil belmSauerkraut.hls Majesty the German Emperor. King of Prussia.

Markgruve of Brandenburg." When tho Burgomaster proceeded to Introduce Herr Leberwurst to His. etc. tbe Kaiser Interrupted him laughingly witn the reranrk: That will do. Herr Burgo master; I sunposo tbo gentlemen know now who I am. Just mention their names and then there will be some prospoct ot a little refreshment beforo nightfall." For a fine and cheerful old pickpocket com mend mo to Karl Lebmann.

aged 75 years, who was yesterday condemned to three years' Imprisonment for stealing a lady's purse while she was flourishing her handker chief at the Emperor during the parade ot tbo guards. Lchmann remarked with dignity, more In sorrow than In anger, when he heard the sentence: "I have sorved the State faithfully during tbirty flvo years' Imprisonment and I am obliged to you that It is three and not six years, I shall no doubt survive this sentonce and get liberated in time to secure an honest man's burial." Big business men bore are tremendously excited about Herr Miguel's taxes, which aro to be laid colore the new Beichstag and which certainly bit the large financiers and stock companies hard, while they will decidedly ease the small merchants. For the first time In tbo history of Prussian taxation the masses will be let off comparatively free, while the minority of wealthy persons will bo called upon to take their legitimate share in the Mate expenses. There are no particulars yet to nana as to tne exact ngures, but it has already leaked out that the big banks and so forth will pay marks on erery million of profit that Is about live times the present rate. Kohlrausch's new drama.

"The Golden Calf." has boen returned to the manager of the Dresden Theatre, Herr Karl, by the Chief of the Police with the intimation that it would not be permitted to be performed unless certain stump speeches made by tbe Socialist of the play are cut out. The formerly semi otllclal Berlin Political Kews announces the arrival in Berlin of Sir Charles tlibson, who, it says, "is a distinguished Amorican from St. Louts who has rendered many remarkable services to the Crown of Prussia, and who was In consequence decorated with the Ordor of the Crown of the First Class." This is funny reading for tho American, but it will give "Sir" Charles the entree to many aristocratic houses which would otherwise be shut against blm. "Sir" Charles Is staying with his wife at the Kaiserbof and is very anxious to meet any official Americans who happen to be around. The porter of the Kaiserbof told me that his Lordship" dines with Consuls and sups with generals and is a heavy swell In every way.

"Sir" Charles visited Mr. Phelps shortly before the tatter's departure for New York, about a week ago, but he was then announced as plain "Charlie Gibson." of St. Louis. ior Is it clear did Mr. Phelps know wbat a distinguished man had come to see him.

as ho In no wav treated him differently from the ordinary Amorican citizen.
