CORNELL Is DEFEATED.

PennsvIvanIa Won, However, by Score
Of 81 To 1O-Thc " Guards-Back In
reference Used successfully.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 25 .-Pennsyl-
vanla this afternoon defeated Cornell by
a big score. but the plucky boys from
Ithaca succeeded in twice crossing the
QuaNers' goal-line. Pennsylvania scored
six touch-downs for total OF 81, ana
compelled Cornell to make a safety
touchdown. making the total score OF
the Pennsylvanians g TO Cornen's 10.
ITHACANs \ SURPRISE.
Cornell furnished Pennsylvania with
surprise by the fast. hard, plucky game
she played. Cornelrs nrst touchdown
was due 70 Beacham's magnificent run
ming. IN two runs the Cornell captain
carried the ball around Pennsylvania
ends for a total OF nearly nifty yards, and
landed il behind the Quakers' goai-hne.
This was in the first hall, and in the
second half Cornell got the ball on Penn
sylvania's tweuty-hve-yard Enc, and car
ricd il directly up 10 and over tho goal
line of the Red and Blue, where ldtchie
scored the touchdown on plunge
through the centre.
While Cornell played fast and pluckiiy
they were out-matched and overweight
ed bv their heavier and stronger advef-
saries. and could only offer stubborn
but unavailing resistance TO Ponnsyiva-
Mas advance. Cornell frequently had
men hurt and before the game was over
had replaced three men by substitutes.
PENNSYLVANIA had a number OF men hurt
but none were compelled 10 leave the
field.

IN MEMORIAM.

In Wayne county, \. c.. on
the 26th of December 1850, An
ME Elizabeth Barbara McKinne
first saw the light of day. Her
sweet girlhood vac lived there in
the Temple Of Nature, hushed to
sleep by the song of the pines, and
nursed in the lap of rural virtues.
At Forest Hill the McKinne resi-
dence, in 1870 November Stb, she
married William r. Hollowell.
Rev. John r. Brooks performing
he rites. Died June 10Th, 1895
at her home in Goldsboro, after
four weeks illness.
"The power to love God gives
US, something to love He lends
u.s. and day by day He comes to
gather in His jewels. His treas
urcs that are blood of our blood,
the one fond hope Of the human
heart, leaving us to our common
heritage-the personal Gethsem-
ane, In the great constellation of
women Mrs. Hollowell was quiet
and gentle, not brilliant as society
counts brilliance, but as some of
the DINNER stars are dim only as
they are far removed from the
earth and nearer heaven, SO like
wise did this woman live near her
God, and angels record the loving
deeds of a godly woman. She
was devotedly faithful to her reli-
gion, to her home and to human :
ity. Under the daisies sleeps a
friend to the poor and to the Or
! phans. She modelled her life by
the beautiful sentiments of that
song she always loved: "Thy Will
be Done.' and the world is better
that she has lived. With the glow
of her own soul and true great
ness of heart she lighted the lamps
of virtue around her that have
breathed forth the sweet incense
of purity confirming the strong, re-
claiming the err1ng and guiding
hayward girlhood and boyhood
into fragrant maturity.
In the home she took up the
shuttle and wove a thread of hea-
ven into the web of family life.
To the husband, a devoted com
panion, to the children a prayer
full mother. Now hat she has
gone, that mothers vacant place
is omnipotent. It speaks, il
warns, it prays. To the children
her memory is a seven-fold shield
against folly and vice.
Like the golden clouds on the
shelves of heaven, that catch uI
and reflect the saffron rays OF the
past-set sun, SO her influence re-
fleets the virtues of an exemplary
life on those who knew her-ar
ever-present beacon guiding Vi
along the shores of Time.
A sweeter tribute than can be
sung by poets was uttered by hel
s year-old daughter, the young.
t est, save one, as her heart wept it
self away in tears in the sleepless
ness of that midnight hour wher
she stood alone by the mothers

mother, you have taught me t.

Nor FUNNY TO rHEM.-Re-
Gently as a young couple stepped
aboard the train to start for their
honeymoon long box OF flowers
was handed to them. 1t bore the
name of a well-known florist on the
cover and was daintily tied up with
white satin ribbons. They looked
askance ct the box. The white
bows made it too evidently we'd
ding favor; and had they not fear
ed to hurt the feelings of some tact
less friend by refusing the gift they
would not have taken the box into
the car. However, they did take
it. Presently the bride decided
that it would be better to take the
flowers from the box and wear them.
Then the pretty little bride, trying
hard not to look conscious, held
the big box in her lap and united
the silken fastenings. As she I'M
did the last bow the cover jumped
of with report loud enough to at
tract the attention of the whole
Pullman, and out from q bed Of
flowers sprang resy-cheeked cupid
stretching his bow ready for q shot.
It was q spicies of iumping-jack.
To the passengers on the car the
joke seemed funny, but the poor
little bride broke down in q storm
of hysterical tears.-New York
Journal.
