There are Several Promising Players
 on the Football Team.

There are Several Promising Players
 on the Football Team.
 Hartford, Sept. 14,-Football practice began Saturday afternoon with only a few men, as the majority arrived on the evening trains and this morning. The prospects for putting winning team in the field this fall are especial ly bright, as only two of last years varsity graduated with '96 and the team will be strengthened with num- Der of excellent players from the in- coming class,
 Among the most prominent of the new candidates is Baldwin from Trini- ty school, New York. He was placed on the all-scholastic team of that city. Robbins of Peekskill Military academy and Burtchard, an eX-Brown player, are also very promising men. There will be more system this year in the coaching of the team, as the old foot ball men will all returnat different times to give assistance in that line, and very marked results in the inn provement of the men are expected from this course. The athletic field was never before in as good condition as now, due principally to the improve ments last spring.
 The following is the schedule of games for this fall as far as made out. A few more games will be added later on: September 26, Yale at Hartford; October 3, Wooster Tech at Wooster; October 10. West Point at West Point: October IA, Amherst Aggies at Hart ford; October IT, M. l. T. at Hartford; October 24, Turfs at Hartford; October 31, Amherst at Amherst; November [, University of New York at Hartford; November II, Wesleyan at Middletown.
 The engagement of new gymnasi- um instructor to take MT. Fosters place will not probably be made until near October. In this case the football team will be compelled to hire train CT. The list of applicants for instructor is large, numbering about fifty-five. Mrs, Ferguson's cottages on the corner of Broad and Vernon streets are near completion and will be great i'm provement to the locality.
 The entrance examinations will be held on the following days this week: Tlesday, S:30 a. m., Latin and United States history; ? p. m, algebra and trigonometry; Wednesday, S:30 a. n., Greek and modern languages; D. m, arithmetic and geometry; Thursday, S30 a. m., English.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Maines Voice Speaks for the Country
 Chairman Babcock's Views-Silver
 Democrats Expected Maine's Big Vie-
 tory.
 Washington, Sept. 15.-Chairman Babcock exhibited to his visitors at re- publican headquarters a telegram from Hon. Joe E. ManIey, who said that the plurality in Maine would exceed 50,000. Speaking generally of the result MT. Babcock said:
 We regard the Maine election as in- dicative of the sentiment of the whole country. The people of Maine are an intelligent, law abiding class of citi- zens; the democrats there are demo- crats from old Jacksonian school. If they have either failed to register or voted for Powers, the result is the same.
 This result, following upon that in Vermont. practically settles the presi- dential campaign. It shows the trend of presentiment and insures for Me- Kinley all of the states north of the Mason and Dixon's line and east of the Missouri river, with a large number of electors not only south of Mason and Dixon's line, but west of the Missouri river"
 Chairman Faulkner, of the democrat ic congressional committee, saw noth- ing startling in the news from Maine.

MIR. KIDDER's SERMON.

Creates Considerable Comment.
 Rev. MT. Kidder, pastor of the Trim ity M. F. church, has aroused unusual interest by his sermon of last Sunday on "The Former Times and Now" in the course of which he took occasion to speak of the worldly pastimes, such as card playing theater and circus going, dancing and smoking.
 Mr Kidder then proceeded to say that in his opinion it was the duty of every Methodist pastor to, at least once a year, read the rules of the church, as they were formulated in England when the. church was first founded. He then called attention to the fact that at the last general conference held at Denver an attempt was made to amend the rules and modify them in some particulars, but this attempt had failed. MT. Kidder then proceeded to read these rules, which prohibited dancing, theater and circus going and card playing.
 As he proceeded he branched off to the subject of smoking He said that there was something the matter with the church; that it was going back ward instead of forward; that the work of the church was at a standstill and that the underlying cause of this was the fact that the people were indulging in the recreation which they ought not to. Taking up the subject of smoking he said that there were members of the church, men who professed to be Chris tians, who smoked, and that he could not advise his boy to take such men as examples. MT. Kidder stated that he did not smoke and that he did not want his boy to smoke, but that he could not under the existing circum- stances point out some of the mem bers of the church and tell his boy to pattern after them because they were addicted to the use of tobacco He then went on to say that in former times there was always a large at tendance at the class meetings, but now there were very few who attend ed. He intimated that the same cause was at the bottom of this and intimated that those who indulged in the frivoli- ties spoken of by him were not good church members.
 At the conclusion of his address he said that many church members should be reconsecrated, start all over again secrated after hearing the rules of the church, to rise and come forward to the altar while hymn was sung.

 The argument on the question of pleading in the Krinkell habeas cor pus case was commenced yesterday morning before Judge Hotchkiss, the pleadings having all been handed in Monday afternoon.

 Judge HotchSiss would not render his verdict yesterday morning, prefer ring to wait until he had an opportu- nifty to read the law on this subject. The decision will be rendered this morning.
