C. park yesterday after noon, and then went out. There never was a time when, the visitors had the- slightest chance to score, and the re sult of the game, 15-0, hardly tells the story of the superior all-around, work of the Commercial Club aggregation. More than 1000 people saw the game, which was last from start to finish and by far the most interesting ever played on an Astriau field. There was not an Astoria man who did not distinguish himself at his po sition. The bulk of the honors went to Geo. Barker.whose work was of a spec tacular nature. Two of the touchdowns were Vored by him, and his 65-yard run Just before the call of time at the close of the second half brought forth a cheer that could be heard by people residing in the vicinity of the old post built by Lewis and Clark. Barker worked with the very best of Interfer ence on the part of the other Commer cial men, and when he started on his long race for Multnomah's goal line his was a clear field. It transpires that this young man Barker is a sprint er, and when the fleet-footed visiting forwards took after him Be demon strated his particular adaptability in a declsle manner. " i Abercrombie showed up faultlessly. Every time Quarterback Stockton sent him through center for yardage he was there with the requisite goods, furnish ing a quality of line-bucking dope that appalled the visitors. Working smooth ly with him at such critical times, Gammal and Goddard used their Her culean strength to the utter ruination of. the Multnomahs, smashing their line repeatedly and hurling their guards to one side. Graham and Stockton, the lightest men on the team, were lustily cheered for their excellent playing. Toward the end of the contest the visitors under took a mass play that proved eminent ly successful for a time. The play was a long lineup that was shoved through for yardage on several occasions. The locals were in apparent trouble and the visitors were quick to take advantage of the new situation. After five gains with this play, Graham broke up the formation and deprived Multnomah of the only possible chance it had to get yardage. Stockton's tackling was su perb and he handled the men well. Once his signal was mlsunderstod, be cause it was given from a mouth that was full of noseguard. The Astorians lacked steam for a few plays, but soon afealn resumed their speed and forced their opponents back over the field.. (Bay, at center, bore the brunt of the battle like a Spartan, while the tackles, Minard and Sutton, and the ends, Trul tlnger and Painter, played the game with a vim that carried the visitors oft their feet. The Commercials' team work was wonderfully efficient, and they played with a snap that opened the eyes of even the now famous Dr. Tom Rom, late of Astoria. "Heavens! how those Astoria, fellows play ball!" remarked "Jim" (Win) Crosby, after the doctors had brought him out of the metporary trance tnto wtdofa he had been knocked la a acrlmmsce. '1 would certainly like to see them go after Multnohah'a first eleven." "Jim" Is an old Astorlan and ha was surprised to note the Improvement of the Commer cial playing. It was to be presumed that Multnomah expected an easy vic tory, and the crestfallen features of the The city council will meet in ad. journea sesson at 7:30 tonight.

The Wage Systemf pi -Soon to Pass Labor Commissioner Wright Dis cusses Interesting Problem at New York. New York, Dec. 14. Carrol D. Wright president of Clark university and United. States commissioner of labor, who has just delivered an address be fore the Philadelphia Ethical Culture Society, In which he expressed the be lief mat the wage system will soon pass away, spoko later on the subject before a large crowd, in Cooper Union, this citjr. Predictions which he made that the time Is rapidly approaching when workmen will receive a fairer share of the profits of the Industry aroused much enthusiasm. Under the wage system as outined by tthe late Francis Walker," said the speaker, "the wage worker receives in advance from capital the measure of his labor, this measure being recouped by the returns for" the product, the wage worker thus being paid for his any return for this co-operation with services before the employer receives the labor. u. . "Under co-operation pure and simple the wage earner, who Is the co-operator must wait until the product is secured, marketed and paid for. This, perhaps, is the real underlying reason why co operation, in Its simple form and when applied to production, has not succeed ed. The employer, therefore, collects from the consumer the money to re coup his advancements on the cost of production. , 'The two parties to production are being placed on a more thorough busi ness basis than of old. Each Is begin ning to understand the other, and as I this understanding crystallizes Into pos ltive knowledge, and each Is ready to meet the other on a fair and equal tasis, the wage question will be relieved of pome of its irritating complications. The employer must consider his em ploye an investor, as well as stock holder, for the workman Invests all he has, and that Is his labor of today. He has, therefore, a perfect right to know why he cannot market the labor to the best possible advantage. v ' - ; MARINE NOTES. . The schooner E. B.

DOCTORS SET TRAP FOR HIM He Had Felgiied Madness, but the Physicians Demon strated That VTa : f but a Heax. - New York, Dec. 14.-Wllliam H. En- nis, formerly a (Brooklyn policeman, who was convicted of having murdered his wife, was put to death this morn ing in the electric chair at , the Sing Sing prison. The execution passed off quickly and Ennls was dead after three shocks had been administered, v. The murder occurred January 14, 1902, at the home of Mrs. Ennls' mother. In Cararaie. The policeman first attacked his mother-in-law and then shot down his wife, despite the pleadings of her . sister. , , , , , . .... .., Ennis Is reported to have made a full confession as the result of a remark able experiment made by a commission of alienists. ! t .The murderer, after his conviction, apparently became Insane. A commis sion appointed by the governor, went to the prison and found he had not only exhibited signs of mental collapse but his physical condition proved to be alarming, and he tottered about the cell on his toes, with knees bent out ward. This suggested a test and Ennls was carried to the operating table.' An ether cone was placed over his face and just enough of the anesthetic was administered to affect his mind to the point of cloudiness. Then he was sud denly thrown from the table to the floor. : Ennls alighted upon his feet. He whirled about and walked across the room. There was no trace of weak ness or uncertainty. , The doctors burst into a laugh at the exposure -and Ennls joined them. "You have caught me," he Is report ed to have Bald, "and I am glad of It. No man san realize what my sufferings have been during the past 78 weeks. Pretending madness, I have often ap- proached so near the border line that it has not been wholly pretense."

Toler, leader In a movement to sue for the re covery of Harlem property claimed by descendants of early settlers, has given up his efforts In that dlrecton so far as the founding of a New Jerusalem there is concerned, because, it 1b asserted, of the opposition of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who, It is said, did not want Christian Science affairs mixed in with ' the contest for' the property. .Toler recently sold his seat on the stock exchange In order to devote all his time to the restoration of Harlem real estate to its alleged rightful heirs. Toler is said' to have conceived the Idea that the New Jerusalem was to be located on the northern end of Man- -hattan island by the construction 1 Bible to which, his eyes were drawn by opening the book at random.
