The News of BOwdoin.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Brunswick, November 13.-The football
game between the Bowdoins and Bates,
which is to take place in Portland on
Saturday next, promises to be of unusual
doln defeated Colby SO, while Bates de-
feated her 60, making Bowdoin anu
Bates about equally matched as far as
score.goes Bates is confidentsof victory,
and as this game is to decide the inter.
collegiate championship OF Maine, both
teams will do their best
This will be the last opportunity of see
ing the Bowdoins this year, for she plays
but one more game, and that with Brown
University at Providence. Bowdoin's
record on the gridmon this year has been
an enviable one. She has invariably by
scientific football, held her own against
teams of greater weight and who have
more resources to draw from.
The personnel of the team will be
slightly different from that of the team
which played Dartmouth the first of the
season. Spear has been changed from
tackle to centre, and French from guard
to tackle This greatly increases the
efficiency of the line. Several of the
backs are out of form, and exactly who
will play in these positions is uncertain.
Every football enthusiast should witness
this game which will be hotIy contested
from start to finish.
The baseball prospects for next season
are already being looked into. The base
ball association today elected the follow
ing officers: President Fessenden, '96;
vice president, Dunnock, '97: secretary
and treasurer, White, '9s; manager,
Ward, '96; scorer, Conan, 81. Greenlaw,
who has entered college from Boston
University, is expected to do GOOD work
in the pitchers box NEXT seas, and the
general outlook is most promising.

The long and stubborn strike of the
iron miners of Marquette county which
was inaugurated July Ii is at last
broken and the strikers have voted TO
return 10 work as soon as the mine
owners are ready for them. There had
been mumblings of discomfort among
the strikers for two or three weeks,
many of the n wishing To return to
work at the scale recently offered by
the owners, but they feared for their
lives TO do SO or even To voice their
sentiments very extensively and il was
only within the last few days of the
strike that those in favor rcsuming
work made much of a show OF mum
berS and when they did finally secure
the privilege of taxing "a vote on tho
question over 100 of the strikers as
scmbled at the union park between
lshpeming and Ncgaunec. After sew
cral speeches vote was taken which
resulted in a majority of just 100 in
favor OF ending the strike. There was
u big cheer from the winners and
grOanS from the losers. 1t was decided
10 wait until an official declaration of
the end of the strike had been made
before applying at the mines for work.
The men have the consolation of know
ing that they return to work at wages
about 20 per cent higher than those
they were getting when they went
out, but they reflect with some bitter
ness that they might just as well have
been working at this advance for the
past seven weeks. It is evident that
out of the 1000 men out, not more than
$500 can DC given employment during
the next three or four weeks Many

doubt that the mine bosses of Ishpem-

against the Cornishmen.
The strike thus ended has been tho

nothing until the strike was inaugu-
rated and then they offered 20 per

DAMAGES FOR -IBEL.
A Virginia Paper Brought tn Terms by

the American Book Company.
dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says:
1.-THE American Book company OF New
York has just gained a signal victory in the
courts of Virginia and has received an NIB
solute and complete vindication after long
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court of this city. The Pilot news
paper of this city, upon the awarding of
the contract for school books to the Amer
lean Book ompary, printed long article
written and prepared by X. II. Byrd. an
agent and attorney for CHM & Co., of New
York, in which il was charged that the
state superintendent had been bribed by
the American Book company. Tho Pilot
as Immediately sued for libel, and, after
q five weeks trial. which created an i'm.
mense amount of interest throughout the
state, a verdict for punitive damages was
recently awarded, and the jury found that
tho statements made were false and q
deliberate libel. Not only so, but the
company, upon unimre1choble evidence,
was proved to have dealt honorably and up
rightly in every particular In their negotia-
tions with the state officials. 1t was furth-
er proved at the trial that no better terms
had been made with any other state for
school books. in fact, the attorney general
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company seemed to throw open their whole
business to u.s. and after fun and complete
examination OF all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices we're the same in oil cases nnd that
no discrimination whatever had been made
against the state of Virginia. Furthermore
he mentioned that none OF the statements
of the American Book company la been
accepted until every one of them had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors of some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had been made. This
proved conclusivelythatt the representations
of tho American Book company were cor
rect In toto. This celebrated case has thus
ended in n compete triumph in every re-
Spect for tho American Book company, and
has shown in clear contrast the clean and
business-like methods in which they carry
on their great industry as compared with
the attempted use OF political pulls and
misstaten eats by their opponents."-Cht-
