Brown University and. the West Point
Military Academy football teams are to
meet at West Point on November 23.

The elimination of football at Georgetown
University is liable to induce other educa-
tional institutions to do away with the
game. The new rules, recently promulgated
by the big colleges, will, 1t is said and
hoped, Lessen the danger to players, but the
numerous mishaps in various parts of the
country last year and the one here at home
that finally resulted in the death of young
George Bahen after months of suffering
have given football a setback from W hich 1t
viii take. long time to recover. In Bos-
ton there isnow discussiong ding on among
the numerous school and college author
tiles as to whether the game should be toll
reated, and it is not unlikely that it will
be taken out of the list of sports by many
of them.

A report has been received at the De.

Breckinridge. giving copy of the laws and
regulations bearing upon the admission ci
foreign Jews into Russia.
The information was requested on account
of the refusal Of the Rufsian consul ~ New

Jewish descent.
Prince Labanau, of the Russian Foreign
Office, in note transmitting the regula-
tions, says that the Russian law places Ger
tain restrictions on the yntrance of Israel
ties to Russian territory, but that these re-
strictions are far from implying an abso-
lutte Introduction, and they have their source
in considerations of kind essentially ad-
ministrative and economic.

ACQUAINTED.
Tho pilgrim's ProgreSs.


A little more than two hundred
years ago there died In England q man
noted for piety, for firm yet orderly
resistance to ecclesiastical tyranny,
and as leader of his sect. That he
is remembered now is not due to these
things, but to the fact that he wrote
u book called The Pilgrims
Progress" The historian Macaulay
pays him this tribute; BRED u tinker,
and afterwards soldier, his education
was that of u mechanic, He knew no
language but the English rs spoken
by common people. He studied no
model Of composition but the English
translation of the Bible. His spelling
was bad, He frequently broke the
rules Of grammar, For more than a
century the Pilgrims progress, though
translated into several foreign tongues,
was known only to cotters and
artisans, AT length critics inquired
where lay the secret Of 80 wide and
durable popularity, and were COM
PEELED TO own the despised book as
really masterpiece. Bunyan is M
decidedly the first Of allegorists as
Demosthenes Ia the frat of orators, or
Shakespeare the first Of poets. Other
allegorists have shown equal in
genuity, but no other allegorist has
been able to touch the heart, and
make distractions objects of terror,
pity and love" Bunyan's book deals
with u spiritual pilgrim, but we are
also pilgrims In material sense. In
our travels through this world we can
generally make It easier for ourselves,
as well rs get to our destinations more
quickly, by taking the main travelled
road, which, In the great North and
Central West, Is the Burlington Route.
