FOOTBALL NOTES.

fOc phSi1 iNcl Eos
The president and directors of
Georgetown college, district of Col
umbia, issued a regulation adopted
in faculty meeting, prohibiting the
students from playing football with
teams, whether collegiate or other,
from outside the college, until the
character and rules of the game
shall have been radically modified.
The faculty of Mount st. Joseph's $
College, Baltimore, Md, has COM
PEELED the disbandment of the foot
ball team. Bahen, who was so ter
ribly injured in the Georgetown
game on Thanksgiving Day, was
formerly student at st. Joseph's.
The athletic association of the
Kansas Wesleyan university has
adopted resolutions disseminating
football under existing rules. In the
last game played by the university
team four men were injured.
The finest bootball player in the
west is Flippin, the negro halfback of
the Nebraska university eleven, and
his elevation to the captaincy was in
recognition of his splendid work.

IN CONGRESS

HoNoRINe WEBSTER AND STARK.
Statues of Daniel Webster and
John Stark, presented to the United
States by New Hampshire, were
received by congress last, week with
appropriate speeches. ftg.rs
Senator Gallinger Of \ Halnp,
shire then said it was ia - SaSg
task to adequately and cothS;sy pors
tray the qualities All IHesfascte.ls.
tics of Stark. He was in many
respects sui generis among the patrio-
tic men of his day and generation.
Plain, awkward, unt,ained in the
arts of social life, uneducated and
brusque, he nevertheless achieved
undying fame-a heritage not alone
to the state of his birth, but to all
this great nation.
Mr.. Galliger's peroration received
applause from the galleries. He
was followed by Mr.. Porter (Rep.)
of Vermont, who, in turn, was
followed by Mr.. Dubois (Rep.) of
Idaho, and Mr.. Chandler (Rep.) of
New Hampshire.
Senator Chandler reviewed Web
ster's ancestry, giving particular
attention to his mother, an extra
ordinary woman. He contended
that Webster's 7th of March speech
had for its controlling motive love
of the union and fears of it's disso-
luton. II Webster had lived until
1861. he would have spoken uncom-
promisingly for the maintenance of
union by force of arms.
or Stark he said that fortunate
was New Hampshire that she was
able to place in the gallery the
statue OF a military hero whose
service in arms contributed, so much
to independence.
Other speakers ware Senators
Hawley, Morgan, Davis, Platt, Cul-
lom and Mitchell of Oregon.
Similar speeches were made in the
house of representatives.

CURRENCY REFORM.
= The debate In the house Of repre-
sentatives upon the 80 called Carlisle
currency reform bill has been the
chief event OF interest.

Messrs. Johnson, republican o
Indiana, and Ellis, democrat o
Kentucky, opposed It, and Mr.
Warner, democrat of New York
supported It. The speech Of Mr.
Ellis was Of rather sensational
character and the applause 1t re-
ceiyed from the free silver demo.
Gratis indicated, plainly the unaltera-
bly, opposition of the silver men o.
! the house to the. Carlisle plan. Mr.
Bland, the silver leader, gave notice
that he sould offer his free silye,
bill as substitute for the bill.
Mr.. Ellis, democrat of Kentucky
frst democratic member Of the
banking and currency committee tc
attack the Carlisle bill, proclaimed
that he was convinced that its pass
age would remedy none of the
defects OF the present financial sys-
tenn. In the committee, said he, the
conflicting theories had struggled for
+. supremacy. One urged by the off,
cials Of the government who desired
protection from the assaults of gold
spectators and the other urged by
the bankers who sought to extend
their privileges and increase their
power and profit. The people had
nothing to hope from such schemes.
He chsrgedsthat behind the bill were
the same influences that forced the
repeal Of the Sherman act and which
on that occasion had predicted that
that prosperity would follow. The
repeal of the Sherman law having
now admittedly failed this currency
scheme had been insidiousiy pressed
forward by the same high authority.
For thirty years the democratic
party had condemned the national
bank system yet 1t was now propos-
ing not only to perpetuate the sys-
tenn, but to perpetuate it in form
more Objectionable than that in
which it exists at present. Mr..
Ellis, in conclusion, charged the
democratic party in congress with
being false to it's Chicago platform
pledges in not passing a tariff bill
for revenue only, in not repeating
outright Che ten per cent tax on the
state banks and In not restoring sill
yer to its position as money metal
on the same terms with gold. "The
democratic promises" he said,
twill not be redeemed until tho
people elect democratic president; !;
when that day comes, as believe 1t
will, the chief executive will not be
chosen from that small and select
class who believe that all the finan-
cial integrity and capacity in this
country is quarantined on Manhat-
tan Island"

PROSPERITY HEROINE.


Last week a certain Newberry paper
boasted of having brave lady in town
"a lady that had killed rat. Pros
perity also has heroine Of whom she
proudly boasts. Mrs. l. young
married lady had quite an experience
with the rodent last week. Mrs. L.
was the attacking party but his ra1-
ship did not quail before his fair an
tagonist, who was dealing him many
serious blows; both were squealing at
the top of their voices. The young
lady being the larger of course could
squeai the loudest. Her screams at
tracted her mothers attention who was
in the house ironing. The mother, in
her hurry and excitement, dropped the
iron on her foot sufficiently hard to
have killed several rats. She ran 10 the
lot as fast as she could. Mrs. L.
seeing her mother approaching rapidly
cried out triumphantly, Oh, mother
Tve killed rat! Her husband came
up at this sjuncture, took the dead rod
ent by his narrative, and carried him
into the house for the cat. The dead
rat was laid oat on the hearth and
kitty" "kitty," was called. AS Exit
tyr approached the dead "varmint,"
be concluded that he would resurrect
himself. and made off at lively rate
and succeeded in getting under the
house before "kitty" caught the dead
rat. Mrs. lid kill the rat.

WELL DONE, CLARA BARTON.
The Splendid Work of the Red Cross Oh
thu Sea Island.
IFrom the Hartford Courant. !


It was in October-the first of the
month-that Clara Barton and her
associates Of the Red Cross took upon
themselves the task Of caring for the
destitute islanders off the South Caro-
lima coast and bringing them through
the winter. They asked the people to
help them, and the people did help
them. The people are not in the habit
of shutting their ears and pocketbooks
to such appeals. The work of relief on
the islands is by no means over; per-
haps some of the hardest of it is yet to
come. But Miss Barton thinks she
now sees her way through, and ac-
cordingly she makes-in behalf Of the
society-this public'announcement..:
"As we have an almost perfect sys-
tenn Of relief, thereby producing the
greatest amount of good with the
smallest amount of money: as we, on
this field, are not dependent upon tariff
legislation or the ponderous machinery
of commerce to end this distress, but
directly upon that great unfailing
Power that bringeth seed time and har-
vest, we will from this day undertake
to carry the burdens Of this relief on
our own shoulders, using the funds al
ready entrusted to our care as far as
they will 60, and our own funds after
that, when necessary, and will ask our
friends to use the money and material
which they had intended for US on this
field to relieve distress and suffering in
their own cities, towns and villages.
And with a hearty God bless you for
your generous aid and no less priceless
sympathy, we take leave of you, our
dear contributors.
Well done, Clara Barton! Well done,
Red Cross! Well done, too, kind
hearted, open-handed people-South
and North-who have given the wolld
a new illustration of the American way
of doing things!

Democrats Family Magazine.

One of the latest fads is the col,ec-
ton of portraits of noted people; and
very fascinating fad it is, also a profit
able one, providing, of course, it does
not cost too much. A new feature in
Demoresfs Family Magazine, COM
menced in the April number, is espe-
cially timely, and offers an excellent
opportunity for forming superb COL
lection at a minimum expense. Two
pages are de. oted to exquisite half-tone
portraits of celebrities, quite equal in
effect to fine photos, and about cabinet
size, which are. printed so they may be
removed without mutilating the Maga-
zine and arranged in an album espe-
cially designed for the purpose. This is
to be a permanent feature; and those
interested in making portrait collec-
ton should avail themselves of this ex-
ceptional opportunity, as the portraits
furnished during tie year would cost
quite 500 in photo form. 1t is impos-
sible to specify all the brilliant attrac-
tions of the April number. The Santa
Barbara Floral Festival is exquisitely
illustrated; The Story of Lost Letter
is also illustrated and gives lots of in
formation about the United States
Postal Service; many noted people tell
in Helps in Many Careers what aided
them most toward success, and their
portraits are given with their opinions;
Society Fads will interest every body;
in Home Art there is goodly show
ing of Easter gifts that can be easily
made at home; there are some excel
lent stories; and the children are not
forgotten. The frontispiece is CHARM
