The Duquesne football team yester-flay struck a tribe of the tamest wild men that ever drew a scalping knife or took to the warpath. A more gen tie-manly set of young- men than those from the Indian school at Carhide has never visited Pittsburg, nor a faster lot of football players. I5ut every was a full-blooded Indian, though one sailed under the name of There were no guttera! sounds or lowering glances to be heard or seen. The Indians played good, clean ball, and had the spectators with them almost from the start.

The Duquesnes started off with the ball. Young kicked it far Into the Indian territory, where the eavages secured it, and instantly began to buck the center. They lost the ball on a fumbie, after advancing it about 10 yards, but the Duqu-jsnes could make no more than four yards, when the bail went back to the Indians. Now Metoxell. the fullback, ay.

Old Commodore Tyrrell was sitting with some friends the other day when the awful heat impelled him to roll up his shirt sleeves. As he did so tiie eye of a Cincinnati "Tribune" man who was sitting by him fell upon an India ink decoration upon his right wrist.

Let me see that, commodore," he said. The old sea dog extended his good right across the table for inspection. The decoration was a shield and an eagle, and. on each side was something that looked like an unfinished wreath. "Why didn'c the artist finish it?" the commodore was aked.

"Ah, that's a story of the awfulness of war, my boy," said he, as he grew thoughtful and stopped the joking that be had been indulging in. "It was when I was a stripling of a boy in the navy that that was done. Like ail boys, I was not a full-fledged tar until I had myself tattooed, and one of my mates started to make a bracelet around my wrist. That was the day before the battle of Mobile bay. He did as much as you see there, and was going to finish it next day.

Next day we went into action, and I thought 1 had broke loose. Well, sir, the first shot that came across our deck struck my mate right amidships, and the poor fellow never knew what finished him. "I never would let anybody else finish it, but maybe when I go to Davy Jones's locker I'll meet Diek, and get him to finish that bracelet." Then the commodore ordered grog for all hands, to conceal his emotion. The Xeedhani-Moore Fisbt. ST.

About half of them were ladies. Over 300 rooters came from Beaver Falls to shout for their team, but all the yelling was in vain. The visitors never had any chow to win after the first 11 minutes of play. Those who saw the game say it is the strongest team the club ever had. If the team's playing was anything to go by yesterday Manager Myler's boys will certainly go through the season without a defeat.

The team that scores a 'point will be very lucky. The playing of the different men was first-class, every one making star plays. Stuart, Harris, Ritchey, Rothroi AuU, Martin and Herpenstall all made great plays, while the interfering of Lovett, who took Anil's place, was grand. Stuart got the ball on the P. A.

C. 40-yard mark in the second half and by the assistance of Lovett and Martin ran 70 yards to the goal. Harris aiso made a run of 13 and one of 40 yards, while Rothrock, Ritchey and Martin each made runs of over 2.1 yards. The best playing of tiie day. however, was during the second half.

P. A. pot the ball on their own 4-yard mark, and by some of the fastest plays ever seen on a local gridiron, had the ball over the Geneva's goal line on three downs.

THE FIERCEXESS OK WILD niLLS. Montana, savs the Philadelphia "Times," 13 the home of many strange geological itnd agricultural wonders', but none more so than that of the only herd of do-jnesnieated buffaloes in this country. Ravalli is located upon the edge of the old Flathead Indian reservation, and can be reached by the Northern Pacific, from Helena, in half a day's ride. It is a thriving and enterprising place In a mot picturesque part cf the country, and in the summer time many tourist-, get off here to Inspect the herd of buffaloes owned by Mr. Charles A liar 3 and Marchiel Pablo.

Scientists and representatives of museums' frequently drop off here and try to buy buffaloes to t-hlp east, and one day the leader of a traveling circus tried to bargain for the whole herd. As there are nearly 200 in the herd, and the price for buffaloes is advancing rapidly every year, this enter-prU-lng showman did not realize the sum of money he would have required for the purchase. A good buffalo hide is worth $100 to-day, and a mounted head ail the way from $2-K) to $500; but what a whole buffalo would eost it is difficult to say. The owners of the herd are not selling today; they are breeding for the future. Letters pour in on them from ail parts of the country asking them their price for one to a dozen buffaloes.

"But we are not selling any ays Charles Allard, "for the reason that we need them all at present. They will not be put upon the market for several years? yet. Museums, parks and shows are constantly making efforts to get them in quantities, and though we might dispose of one or two singly we have no pairs to sell. We will have altogether'about 200 by this fall." Two years ago this herd consisted of 22 animals, and was then located at Omaha, and was known as the Jones herd. Allard paid for them, and removed them to Montana, where they are kept on a large range.

Later Marchiel Pablo, a well-known cattle merchant, went into partnership with Allard, and the two have conducted the buffalo farm between them ever since. louring the present summer a party of scientists and travelers visited the, herd, and they enjoyed something rarely tasted in these days a steak of buffalo. An accident had made it possible for them to try this tempting morsel, and everyone pronounced it more delicious than any steak they ever tagted. It was fitter than the most delicate porterhouse steak ever put upon the market, ami buffalo meat In time may become a rare product of our markets. When the animals are bred in sufficient numbers tney will be killed gradually for their hides and heads, and the meat alone will bring a good sum to the owners.

ButTalos crossed with domestic cattle raukt! tine meat for table use also; some iine specimens here crossed with polled Aliens stock are onders to the stranger. They arc all large and magnificent animals, and the fur is finer and closer than that of the pure buffalo. Our host assured us that the meat was even more sweet and wholesome, although no one had a practical test of it. These cross-breeds yield very valuable robes, and in many ways retain the looks and characteristics of their wild progenitors. Cross-bred buffaloes may yet roam over the country in herds, and infuse new blood into our domesticated stock, giving them the strength and vitality so much needed in tiie west to withstand the storms and blizzards.

The domesticated buffaloes and the cross-breeds defy the severest storms, and they face them eery time. While horses and cows will be driven before tiie storm for many miles, the buffaloes simply stand still with their breast toward the wind and wait until it has abated. Then they will hunt around where the snow is thinnest and search for food. Their thick, shaggy coats appear to be water-proof, wind-proof and cold-proof. As soon as a storm approach-as rhe herd bunch together and form a wedge, with the well-protected head of the oldest bull at the apex.

Iu this way the weakest cows ar.d calves are sheltered bv the more hardy animals. Tae domesticated herd has lost muca of the natural wildness of the untamed buffaloes, and t.iey feed quietly within the range not far from human spectators, but their instincts are the nie. and it is an interesting study to wa.ca them as they on the rich grass. The report of a rifle nearby invariably startles them, and they rush across the field in true buffalo style, giving you an idea of what kind of death a.vaitej one who- happened to- be iu their way. The animals ara trusty to a certain extent, but it needs an experienced owltoy toj handlo them hen die bulls are around.

These animals, though not so fierce as the Spanish bull reared for tiie arena, are more savage and determined when drawn into battle. If placed in the arena with a Spanish bull a wild buffalo would come out victor every time, If one can judge of his fighting qualities out here in the native- wilds. His head is as hard as tt rock, and nothing short of a cannoa ball could make an impression upon it. Tae shaggy hair acts as a thick pad to most of the head, and protects the eyes and so that a rifle ball couli not penetrate through hair and hide unless it happened to strike at a peculiar angle. "This herd is the only one in this country of any explained the head of tho valuable herd of stock, "although there Is a.

small 0110 in the Texas Panhandle. There are quite a number of wild in the Yellowstone park, too. and there may be a few scattered around in the west. These, however, are scattered over Immense ranges, and hidden in almost inaccessible places. In 183 the northern herd of wild butTakies contained about bu'inj head, aud were located between the Black Hills and Bis-marelc Httt during that summer so many hunters, Indians and white men, surrounded the herd that by October the number was reduced to 1,200.

Then Sitting Bull's band arrived at Standing Rock agency, and In a few days there wasn't a hoof, to be found in the whole region. The Indians literally wiped out tho remainder of the once powerful herd. It was rumored for a time that the herd had gone north nnd had even entered Canada, but hunters have sought In vain for them. Occasionally one is stumbled upon, but it is a very rare thing. They are literally exterminated.

Long before this the southern herd had been killed off by the Indians and white hunters, and the destruction of the northern herd completed the whole business. This Is why the American buffalo Is becoming an animal of great curiosity to most people-. "To think that 25 years ago there were several millions of these animals on t.ie western prairie, and to-day scarcely a dozen, makes one almost, doubt tiie wisdom of early settlers. At that time it would have beci it a matter to have stocked a big form with will buffalo, aa i the man who aad oeeu s- far-sighted would have been independently to-day. With a thousand cr two head he could obtain a fortune that would buy Lim mare luxuries jrhan his wheat ar.d corn do for a century.

The first attempt, to crass tiie buffalo withi domcetiaated cattle was tnajie a fxr back as 1SX5 at Lexington. but hy tie ec'erprUe waa net ksp: up it la hard prevented rrany briliant long rur.s.
