STUDY TO HELP YOUR EMPLOYER.
Make Yourself So Essential That He WIN
Not Part With You.


A great many Of the people that want
work in this world don't want it. Per
haps they think they do, but they don't.
What they really want is chance to
draw salary and loaf. They have for
gotten entirely, as it used to be 80 we'll
remembered in the older days, that one
must do wnat comes along to do, and
do it we'll. and then better things and
moro remunerative things como along to
do. And how few there are-it seems to
be there is not one in IA, O00-who knows
that to make money by working one
must help his employer make money.
Think of that, boys and girls, young
men and young women. and old men
and old women too! Study how to help
your employer to make money. If you
can do that, you become essential to
him. 1t may be that he can get along
without you, but he will try to keep
you. Rather than lose you he will raise
your pay. So don't merely work. That
is easy enough. But plan, scheme, sug-
gest something once in awhile, point out
how 81 can be made, or 81 saved, which
amounts to the same thing. But per
haps this is too much to expect of you,
and perhaps if you knew how to make
money yourself or to save it you would
be in business for yourself.

POSTERS AND MORALITY.
Tho Women. War Upon Immodest Pie
lures of Theatrical Beauties.

Tho Womens War Upon Iminodest Pic
lures of Theatrical Beauties.
We stand with tho Womans Chris
tian Temperance union i'll its war upon
those unsightly posters bearing indecor-
GUS pictures of actors or actresses which
are to be seen at times in some of the
streets of Brooklyn or even of New
York. The members of the Brooklyn
branch of the union who began the war
there last week are enlisted in q proper
cause. Some of the posters against
which they have turned their arms are
very offensive
We object to these posters because OF
their immodesty. Some of them are
markedly indecent. 1t is not merely be.
cause people of both sexes are pictured
in tights that we object to them. for
there need not be any impropriety in
appearing upon the stage in decent
tights or in giving pictures of those
who thus appear. 1t is because Of their
essential viciousness.
We object to tho public display of the
vicious pictures because it is repulsive
to pure minded women, young and old,
their fathers and brothers. There is
proof of this in the protests that are
made against them.
We object to it because it is unlawful
under the statutes of the state Of New
York. The law in the case ought to be
and can very easily be enforced without
the least infringement of the rights of
anybody.
We object to the bad posters for artis.
tic reasons The colored pictures which
they bear are nearly always uncomely,
and the persons represented in them of
ten look like slouches, though in tights.
Let the law be applied to these scan.
dalous posters. In its behalf we stand
with the W. C. T. U. The war that has
been begun in Brooklyn is righteous
war.
We countenance it regardless of our
contempt for the preposterous censorship
upon books and works of art which that
ignorant crank, Anthony w. Comstock,
has for many years tried to set up and
in the application of which he has with
in the past few weeks made himself
more than ever laughing stock and a
nuisance. This is not case in which
Comstockism is involved.
The public posting of flaring broad
sides. bearing improper pictures. ought
to be stopped. The managers who are
responsible for the existence of such
posters ought to stop it for their own
sake and for the sake of the persons rep
resented in shameless ways without
making it necessary for the w. G. T..
o. to call upon the law or the authori-
ties. The posting of bad shows is preju-
dicial to the best interests of the stage

THE SENATORS IN EUFAULA
Aabama's Distinguished Sons Have Been Consistent in Advocating the Free
 Coinage of Silver

Eufaula, Nov. 23.-(Special.)-Sena Morgan and Pugh spoke in the Eufaula opera house today to fairly good au- dience. Saturday being busy day, the merchants could not attend, which ac- counts for the absence of many.
 Senator Morgan spoke over two hours and made a showing for the cause of free silver. He went largely into details and demonstrated that the free coinage of silver without limit, had always been a fundamental principle of democracy. and that both he and Senator Pugh were con sistently advocating the time-honored principles of that party. He compared the records of Carlisle and Crisp. Both were southern men whom the democrats had elevated to the speakership of the house. Both had advocated free silver until Carlisle had become secretary of the treasury He asked the audience to decide whom they would follow, Carlisle, who had deserted the cause he had served for years, or Crisp, who remained true.
 Senator Pugh then spoke for one hour. and made one of the best speeches that has ever been heard in Eufaula. He said he advocated the same principles now as when first sent to the senate and that ha would continue to labor for the free coin age and resist the retirement of the green backs while he remained there.
 Both senators were liberally applauded and your correspondent has heard most favorable comments from several with whom he has spoken. Surely nothing but good can come from this discussion Of cause which is so vital to democracy,

It is produced with the same number of ma chimes and the. same number of opera tives, and it is iproducod I at much less cost than the product of northern mills.

 Leading investors in many of the Fall River mills are also confident investors in certain mills in the south, from which they are receiving large dividends.

 The merchant in question has now probably 900 invested in various parts of the south in cotton mills. He is one of the few who understood fully the grea tness of the opportunity. Those who realize 1t are already large investors. A steady current of northern capital is already flowing south, and the current seems likely to become torrent before long,

ROBBED BY MASKED MEN.

The Central's Agent at Searight Forced to
 Give Up the Company's Money.
 Troy, Nov. 23.-(Special)-Sea little town on the Central railroad ex- tension below here, is all aglow with ex- citement.
 The agent for the railroad and express company was preparing to leave his of flee about 12:30 when masked men en- tered the office and violently laid hands on him and after cutting his clothes to pieces carried him off to a swamp near by and intimidated him and frightened him about half to death. Bringing him back they opened the safe by his hands and took about $700 in money and ex- press money orders. They then disap- peared in the darkness.
 The agent regained his self-possession and telegraphed the railroad authorities at Columbus. Trainmaster J. T. John ston came on a special train with pack of blood hounds and tried to catch the perpetrators, but the dogs did not get the trail.
 Many reports as to the identity of the parties are af1oat. The one that gets some attention is that it is Railroad Bill.

The New York Statement.

< New York, Nov. 23-The New York Financier says this week:
 ii As is usually the case when heavy gold exports are being made, the statement of the New York clearing banks does nod reflect existing conditions. For the week ending November 23, the total decrease in cash was reported to be only $1,073,- @60o. the loss of $1, ,59O.3OO in legal tenders being offset partially by a gain of $516,- 700 in specie As the shipments of gold during the six days covered by the re- port aggregated over $7, ,000, 900 the banks, despite the fact that they received more currency from the interior than they shipped, must have lost largely in legal tenders, which were withdrawn for the exchange of gold at the sub-treasury. Fridays withdrawals, however. are not reflected in the last statement, and the effect of this drain will not be shown un- til next week.
 For six weeks past the specie item in the statement has been showing steady gain. One clearing house bank express cd &300, 900 in gold for legal tenders at the sub-treasury during the past week, but the gain reported by the combined banks for the week was $516.700, bringing the to- tai specie item to $66. .2S4, 500, or an in- crease of nearly $500, 900 since October l2 last. The regular increase has given yisesto rumor that the New York banks were preparing for another bond issue, but1as the banks have been losing gold since June until recently and now hold Iessethan was reported immediately after they had absorbed bond issue this seemed to possess much importance. It is doubtful, too, whether the recent expan- sion of the specie item means that the banks possess that much gold since sil- yer certificates are counted as specie.
 The loan column for the past week shows a further contraction of $221 300, a much smaller amount than the weekly liauidation which has been noted since September A. when loans stood at $522,- 6SO, 300, or $24, ,0O0, 900 in excess of the pres ent figure.
 The net deposits for the week decreased q, ,05B, ,000 according to the statement, but in reality the contraction was much heavier, and the reserve figures based ton the actual condition of the banks Sat urtay would probaly differ from those made up from the weekly average state ment The circu'AAiop' of the banks shows a decrease of s20S O0O, and of this amount the Hanover National appears to have withdrawn s160.0o0 of its own notes.

Harvard vs. Pennsylvania.

Boston. Nov. 23.-The University Of Pennsylvania defeated Harvard in thelr annual game today on Soldiers field, Cambridge, by score of 17 to IA. Fully 12, 900 people saw the game, which was in- tensely exciting from start to finish.
 The field was soft and muddy, and in the second half strong wind came up which swept down the field and gave Pennsylvania a big advantage. liar yards defeat can be explained in one sentence. Her failure to kick two goals, which would have won her the game In spite of her defeat, Harvard clearly outplayed her opponents, and in the sec ond half had the Pennsylvanians on the run. It was merely question of few minutes before she would score again. It was singular fact that all the SCOT ing done by both sides was due to blocked punts Pennsylvania's first score was a goal from the in field made after a blocked punt, and Gilbert's run of forty yards, the longest of the game, was made from another blocked punt. The five yards necessary to put the ball over the line was an easy thing after that The game was remarkably free from unnec- essary roughness and slugging. The of- ficials were so effective and watchful that off side playing and holding proved too costly 10 be induged in. Harvard made a plucky and desperate uphill fight to against them and a strong wind blowing down the field. Brooke was able to punt sixty or seventy yards, while the best Brewer could do was thirty. Be- fore the game even money. was offered by Pennsylvania men that Harvard would not score, although the odds on the final score went down perceptibly.

  Both of the Games We're Remarkably Free From Unnecessary Roughness and

New York, Nov. 23.-Yale defeated Princeton today for the fifteenth time during the two decades of football his- time was called at the end of two thirty five-minute halves the big score board on the north side of Manhattan field indi- cated that Yale had won by 20 points to her opponents 10. It was one of the greatest matches ever played between the two rivals, and until the ball had been in play for some time 1t was a question of great uncertainty which team would come off victorious. But it soon became evident that Princeton's much vaunted defense were not standing the battefing the Yale backs were gtv- ing it. On the other hand, her backs proved somewhat betetr than had been expected, and especially in the matter of kicking, when neither side could be said to have much the advantage. The game, however, cannot be considered kicking game in comparison with pre- vious games of the year, bunting being chiefly resorted to when the ball was in danger of being lost on downs
 The day of the twentieth annual football game between the col leges dawned clear and bright, notwithstanding the prediction or the weather magnateS that the IlgerS would have true Princeton weather to bolster up their efforts. Scarcely cloud obscured the sky during the morning. Dame nature also favored the warirors in the matter of wind there being scarce ly enough breeze to have any eHect. The excitement over the contest com menced early on Friday night. The col lege contingents began to arrive carry, and all day long and far into the night one could scarcely step on BroadWay without running across crowd or foot- hall enthusiasts eagerly discussing the chances for the two great teams. Until a late hour at night the Hobbies ana par rooms of the hotels were filled with col lege men. Considerable money was waged at odds of to A. with a few or 10 to z, offered by Yale. One bet or $looo to $500 was laid by Yale men last night at the Waldorf, and the entire amount was soon covered by Princeton
