BoWoolN's SIDE.
Refutes the Statement of Dispatch From
Hanover in Reference to Football.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS
Brunswick, October %. There is con-
siderable Indignation among the students
at Bowdoin college over the dispatch
from Hanover, published in this morn
ings PRESS, accusing Bowdoin of
breaking an agreement to play Dart
mouth at football on Wednesday, October
23. This dispatch is very misleading as
the statement is contrary to truth. The
agreement made with Dartmouth was for
game at Portland on October 5, and one
at Hanover on October 16. After this
agreement had been made Dartmouth
arranged game with Yale at New
Haven on October 16, and asked Bowdoin
to change it's date from October 16 to
October 90. This Bowdoin refused to do
as the latter date had already been given
to Exeter and Manager Ordway did not
propose to cancel that game merely as an
accommodation to Dartmouth. After
making this decision message was re-
ceiyed from Dartmouth cancelling the
game arranged for October 16, in order
that they might play Yale on that date.
The agreementsfor second game be-
tween Bowdoin and Dartmouth was,
therefore, broken by Dartmouth and not
by Bowdoin as the dispatch from
Hanover alleges.

Resolved, That the serious and inereas-
ing corruption and yeneallty developed
IN recent years in connection With the
government of American cities, not only
made good municipal administrations
much more difficult and costly, but SO
.obStructed advancement of morality and
Ireligion as to make it a grave duty OF
all friends, of municipal reform to exert
themselves for the arrest OF Sucn evils
and make common cause in urging all
good citizens to discard mere party spirit
and interest and unite in common efforts
for good municipal government without
| regard to their party affiliations.
Resolved, That this congress wishes to
express a profound sense of the serious
nature of those evils which have their
origin in the habits of intemperance and
in the demoralizing influence in intoxi-
eating drinks. These, evils not only
cause needless expenditure of vast
sums of money without useful results,
serious Impairment of physical and men
tai energies The general debasement of
character and much of the corruption in
politics and government, but are the
chief distractions to the triumph of mo-
rality and religion, a reproach to an en-

STATE PENSIONS.
Applications for State Aid Are Increasing
Greatly.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.]

Augusta, Me-, October ss.-Pension
Agent Milliken SO far this year has re-
ceived 1925 applications for state pensions,
an increase of about 500 over the told for
the entire last year. Mr.. Milllken
ascribes this to the broadening OF the
scope of the law by the last legislature,
and to the discussions which then gave
prominence in the newspapers to the
states system for helping the needy
veterans. Many who would not have
turned to the state evensfor needed aid be-
cause they knew little about the operation
of the pension law undoubtedly had their
attention directed to it by the discussions
Of the legislators. And then, apart from
these causes for the increase there is the
natural growth of the necessity for AID
which keeps pace with the advancing
years of the old soldiers and their wives
and widows.

Minneapolis, Mimi, October 22.-The
pastoral address of the bishops of the

character, the most interesting points be-
ing those in reference..to the massacre of
Christia missionaries in China and the
Sunday observance laws. In reference to
the latter the address says: "Recent

that our modern life should be capable OF
bringing into play any powers OF evils
that could seriously threaten the eX-
istenoe of SO divine and beneficent an m

menace confront Christian people in wide
areas of this country. We exhort yon to
