1t was wealthy with hard tackles, punt

all the fumbles it was one of the snap
piest games that was ever played here.
That Young Rice is terror in the
game. For bucking the line sneaking
off around the ends all by himself he is
unexcelled. Sometimes he takes the
most of the two teams along with him
in the bucking business. He doesn't
seem to have much regard for his face

Williamstown, Oct. 25.--A crowd of
500 saw Williams defeat Bowdoin on
Weston field. Saturday, by score Of
90 to o. From the start it was plainly
Williams game, as Bowdoin's line was
unable to check the fine interference.
When Williams had the ball she car
ried it the length of the field, without
fumhiing or losing it. With the excep-
ton of Caldwell who is laid up with
a fractured rib, Williams presented her
strongest team.
A strong wind blew throughout the
game. Much punting was INDUCED in
by both sides. ana apparently neither
had the advantage.
Most of Williams gains were made
through Bowdoin's center and tackles
Wright, Lee and Fifer were especially
effective in ground gaining. Temple
ton hit the line WELL and always made
his gain, while Denman played an
equally good game at half For Bow
doin. Stearns and Veazie played the
best game, and protected their ends
well.
Bowdoin kicked off. Williams got the
ball and by successive PUSHES ad-
NInCtu TO DOMu plN three yafuS line.
Here Eowdoin got it on downs. and put
1t back to the center by strong punt.
After an exchange of punts. Williams
again took the ball steadily toward
Bowdoin's goal. Denman was given the
ball at the 15-yard line, and gained 10
yards. Then Branch was pushed over
the line for the first touchdown. Rut-
ter missed an easy goal.
For the rest of this half the ball was
kept well in the center of the field
both sides INDUCING in punting.
Williams kicked off in the second
half. and got the ball again by blocking
Bowdoin's punt. Here Williams FUN
bled and Bowdoin again punted, put
ting the ball in the center of the grid
iron. Then Bowdoin seemed to weaken
and Williams carried the ball by five
yards gain TO the goal. Denman made
the touchdown, and Rutter kicked the
goal Williams. 10: Bowdoin, 0.
Two more touchdowns were made In
this half by Fifer and Denman, and
Rutter kicked both goals. These touch
downs were the result of continual
gains through Bowdoins line, which
seemed wholly unable to break up the
interference. The Williams center men
had little difficulty in making holes for
the backs. and Bowdoin seemed in
poorer physical condition than Will

Destiny in Trifes.

Glad Tidings relates a story that oc-
Cured during the revival meetings held
by Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman in Buffalo:
A lady-a member of one of the
churches, but worldly-sought to bring
her son to Christ. He was unmoved and
showed no anxiety for his salvation.
She wrote him a letter and told him of
her desire, expressing the fear that she
had, perhaps, been in the way. 1t was
true. Two years before, during special
services, her son had been interested.
He had asked his mother to go with
him to a meeting. She said, Not to-
night. This is the regular meeting of
our whist club, but I'll go some other
mig :. From that time there seemed
to be smitten out of him every thought
of the Holy Ghost. He read his mothers
letter, her %entreaties. She watched him.
Tears came to his eyes; but he put the
letter in his pocket, and Eve looked
at it again. Oh! it is a serious thing
to be trifing when the souls of others
are depending on us.

Railroad Repartee.

A very smart young man, wishing to
supply amusement for a group of young
ladies that accompanied him, accosted
the conductor of a railroad train as fol-
lows:
my dear conductor, what-er-do
you call an up train?"
why, a train that blows up, ex-
plodes, goes to smash-anything of that
sort"
"Ah, yes, to be sure. And-er-what
do you call a down train?"
Down train?-why, that's a train
that goes down an embankment, or
through a trestle-work; has some sort
of a fall, you know"
The young ladies were laughing
heartily at these answers, which m
barrassed the young man, and desper-
ately pointing to the train they were
about to board, he asked. And where
might this train be going"
"Oh," replied the conductor, eve
never agree to answer those questions

A Hero

A story is told by Rev. MI. Adams,
of the American Baptist Mission in
Central China, of a Mr.. Tsen, formerly
a wealthy merchant, but who. ruined
by opium smoking, became a low for
tune teller. He came afterward under
the influence of the Gospel and burned
his magical books, and sought to re-
form. The sufferings he endured while
seeking to break off the habit were in
tense, but borne patiently. The temp
tation to seek relief by returning to the
use of the drug was such as few could
have resisted, but he would not yield,
though he died. And die he did, stead
lastly refusing to yield again to the Sc
auctions of the drug which had blight
ed his life.

Illinois for gIckinley.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 2.-William
Mckinley, of Ohio, is the choice of the
Republicans of Illinois for president
of the United States. He vas SO de-
-clared ct the Republican state con-
vention here yesterday. He IA not
only declared the choice, but the over
whelming choice, of the people of this
state who believe in the principles of
the Republican party.
Every effort and scheme known to
politicians was brought to bear upon
the delegates to induce them to name
another man, bat all the schemes
failed. 1t was apparent the people
whom the delegates represented
wanted Mckinley, and the delegates
could not be induced to violate the
wishes of their constituents.
That the people of this State were
pleased with the choice was made ev-
1dent by the l., 900 spectators and Wis
itors VINO gathered from all parts of
the State to attend the convention.
As soon as the name Of Major McKin-
ley was mentioned i'll the convention
there was an %outburSt of applause
that surprised even the most ardent
admirers of Major Mckinley. Nearly
every man, woman n child in the
vast throng arose at the mention Of
the name of the Buckeye statesman
and for nearly five minutes shouted
and yelled and cheered. Hats were
thrown in the air by the more enthus-
iastic, and for a time it seemed as if
the vast crowd had gone raving mad.
The contest was between the Re-
publicans who believed Shelby NJ.
fulln,n Chnu1l ha lnnnral o., thn
standard bearer in the presidential
contest by the people of this State, OH
the one hand, and the Republicans
who favored Mckinley on the other.
Arraycd on the side of Senator Cullom
was that organization known as the
Cook county machine" and a large
number OF leading politicians and
statesmen of Illinois. With him were
veteran politicians, who, in years
gone by, have engaged in many a hard
fought political contest. They had to
aid them one of the most perfect po-
litical organizations that has ever
been formed IN this State; but all
their plans went wrong.
While Senator Cullom and his back
ers met defeat, they met it gracefully,
and at the conclusion of the onven
ton there was not the slightest ill
feeling on their part towards the vic
tors.
A motion vas made to lay the Nc
KInley resolutions on the table, and
wasdefeated by a vote of 5O3 to 49,.
When the uproar following the
adoption of the Mckinley resolutions
had ceased the following delegates-at-
large were elected: r. w. Patterson,
editor Chicago Tribune; William Penn
Nixon, editor Inter Ocean, Ex-Governor
Il. J. Oglesby of Elkhart, and ex-Gov-
ernor j. w. Fifer.

TALK ON BATTLESHlPS.
MIR. Alien OF Nebraska, Makes Some Big
Political Predictions.

Political Predictions.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Senate
spent another day on the naval appro-
priation bill without completing it.
Mr.. German further opposed the item
of four battleships and expressed the
opinion that the appropriations al
ready made would consume the bal
ance in the treasury. A determine
ton of the number of ~battleships has
not vet been reached. Mr.. Chandler
has proposed substituting thirty large
and fast torpedo gunboats for two of
the battleships. Mr.. White of Cali
f~oraia, spoke of the need of coast de-
Tense before further naval vessels
were built. and Mr.. Allen of Nebraska
made a speech of yer three hours ar
raigning the two old parties.
Mr.. Allen predicted that the Repub-
lican party would be victorious at the
next national election, aud that the
Democratic party would go out OF
power for a third of century. Three
months hence, he said, there would be
a great bolt in the Democratic ranks,
one wing taking refuge in the Popu-
list party, and the rest becoming
'tgold bugs" Then turning to the
Republican party, Mr. Allen accused
it of frying the fat" out of protected
Industries. and said that party, too,
would go out of power in 1900, giving
place 10 a party of the people. Mr..
Allen spoke until 4 O'Clock, consuming
over three hours.
