.aIe Football Captain Did Not "knee"
Wrightington at Springfield Game.

A NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Immediately upon

Sfootball association. In view of the charges
aade against Captain Hinkey. requested
81 committee to investigate. The COM
'nittoe thus appointed was accepted as
|,orfcctly satisfactory TO the Harvard
'loycn. These gentlemen have found that
|1l the charges of roughness in the Spring
laid (Mass) game have centered in the
Alleged willful injury of Wrightington by
1inkey. They therefore requested all Of
|to officials to give their testimony as to
|1c occurrence.
n The committee examined Captain Hin

I'D not "knec" or otherwise maltreat
Vrightington in the Springfield game and

oughness in any OF the games in which
>o has taken part. Furthermore, although
|1o has played for seven years ut Andover
|1n6 ut Yale, no Official has ever found 1t
Necessary TO adjudge him guilty of or dis
qualify him for unfair play.
The testimony given all tended toward
No belief that Captain Hinkey was in no

sue only about 200 receipts a day, and as
I Ne registration closed Saturday, it was
levitablo that many citizens would be
lut out.
The two factions hired two gangs of
,ughs, each numbering about 100, and
lclnding the most desperate whites and
egroes Of the city. These men were paid
on s. to $40 day. To each was given
st OF six names, tho largest number the
ollcctor would accept taxes for from one
orson, and the money TO pay their taxes
,ith.
Each morning for 10 days past the two
rmies of political mercenaries have slug
cd each other In front of and inside the
5urthouse, hundreds OF citizens gathering

To witness tho Big Mills.
For two weeks. at least, no citizen paid
axes for himself, all entrusting their

mes. nearly the entire police force of the

nd for over week the presence of about 40
olicemen has been constantly required at

B The armies of hcclers were fed at the
ivai headquarters where many of them
3mained all night, going out early each
Morning TO resume the battle, and at the

How One Woman Sees 1t.
[From Harpei's Magazine,l

What she said was this: 81 am sick
and tired to death of hearing about
Womanv This somewhat violent eX-
preston is not quoted here to be defend
ed, and it does not need contemporary
explanation; it merely indicated the
cumulative WEAKNESS of long-tried pa
tience. And it must not be taken 10
express too much. Though women are
often tired of themselves and of each
other, and do not hesitate to say so,
this is only d temporary WEAKNESS, ana
does not at all express the feeling of
misogynist towards women generally.
Indeed, this woman who is quoted
would probably turn with whitening
rebuke upon any man who should say
that the modern world has had about
enough of Woman and would like a
rest. And the man would meekly adj
NIT that rest the world will not have,
and rest it does not deserve, this side
the grave. No, it is progress and not
rest that we need, and that must go on,
even to the extent of women forming
themselves into a Syndicate, Wo-
mans Trust, for carrying on business
independent of the other sex, and die
tating terms of partnership. The
speaker was not tired, but of hearing
about Woman.
Cannot Woman, she said, be taken
for granted? Why should she assert
herself, or permit herself to be treated
as separate class? Why this clamor
every time she does anything, as if it
were extraordinary that "a human be-
ing should have genius or exhibit ca
pacity? Why make such a cackling,
like hen every time she lays an egg?
A man does not ask consideration or
immunity from criticism for anything
he does because he is man. Why
should woman? The whole attitude
is undignifed, and confession of in
| feriority that enrages me. If We're to
take "double-first,' or write novel,
l should be Inundated if | We're
praised for it like a freak. l am tired
of reading about Woman in all the pc
riodicals and newspapers AS if she were
a newly discovered species. Every
journal must have its Woman's Col
umn, its Woman's Doings, its Chat
about Woman, its Woman's World,
| Woman in society, Woman in the
| Ocean, Woman in the Pulpit, Woman
in Literature, Woman riding down the
| newspaper columns on bicycle. And
it is announced that this is the Woman's
Age, that Woman is in the Saddle, that
| Woman has come to Stay. She seems
to want to draw the line. as she did
rather effectively at Chicago in a
Woman's Building, and to force an an
tagonism in every department of life.
| Even in her own periodicals L do not
see any column devoted to Man. That
might be refreshing reading. Woman!
| Why, she has borne the whole race for
six thou?and years, and she has got to
bear it along in all the ages; she is the
great conservative and really control
ling force. l wish they would let her
alone. am sick of all this petty talk

In his '"This and That" in the Chris

thur of New York discourses on a
theme that will interest many. After
treating at some length Gan Attractive
Resort, in description of Lee, Mass,
he continues, "Rev. j. D. Pope is and
has been for the last ID years the sue
cessful pastor offhe Baptist church. y
He proceeds to revive personal memo
ries, and then remarks, "Mr. Pope was
graduated at Colgate; was pastor for
nine years in st. Paul, Mimi; was for a
time in Peoria, H.; then in Norwich,
n. Y; then in st. John, n. b.; and now
for 10 years in Lee, Mass. His minis
try has been marked by a symmetrical
growth in all departments of church
work; and his influence in the town
and vicinity has been wholesome and
in all respects commendable. He is a
faithful student, an earnest preacher
and a faithful pastor. Mrs. Pope is a
true helpmeet in many forms of SER
vice. Their son, Albert J. Pope, was
graduated at Brown University last
summer and is now an instructor in
Latin in Vermont Academy at SaXton's

That Tired and Exhausted Feeling

The nervous system is fearfully deli

work, trembling, anxiety, depression
of mind, nervousness and often sleep
lessness and duh feeling head in the

These lead to nervous prostration
paralysis or insanity. You run a ter

symptoms. You can be cured now. If
you neglect yourself you will soon be-
