Who Were They ?

On Monday morning Of last week,
while shifter crew was lying at tho
west end of the canal bridge, with n
train, one of the train hands saw
three men approach the cinder bank
and dig three holes into the same,
after this was completed, they put
something into the excavations and
then covered them up and loft. AT.
ter they had disappeared tho EN-.
ployes went to the bank and found
where the holes had been dug. He
removed from one of them - cali
ber revolver, from the other some
dynamite, caps, three drills, fuse
aud a slow match, aud in the other
he found u bottle in which he
thought was liquor, and which he
left. Who they were aud why they
hid the things there is a question
that is not eaiily solved. Ssiins-

The following description OF the lecture IL given;
1T Will be shown that there are literally tides IN
the affairs Of men when all things come to a
head and when IL ia possible set the keynote
for the next cycle. We are approaching the close
year or century cycle. which. bytheway. is not
arbitrary: second. the so-called Mcssianic cycle
which IL a zodiacal cycle lasting 2lj5 years. being
onc-twelfth OF the great zodiaca cycle. The sun
or rather the cquinoctial points-passcs from the
zodlacal sign Pisces into Aquarus. Nine. Blavat-
sky has proph,sicd that when this happens there
Will be- new work for the psychologists. Signs OF
this are wanting even now. Third. ther" Is the
300 year cycle OF the Kali Yuga. or Black Age ac-
cording to fiindOo chronology. which will end In
February March 1891. and fourth, there Is Il still
greater cycle about To begin. OF 2lOpD years which
il the cycle OF the new which is being born
In America.
These cycles do not bring us back to the same
point from which started. but may be better
illustrated by the thread OF screw. We come
back 20 what may call the same point but II IL
ahead OF the last. and We are able to trace a re-
OF similarity in civilization and customs nt
different stages OF the worlds history also or revo-
lutions and social upheavals. With a knowledge
OF cycles II Is possible to explain the disturbed con-
dions which exist In the world to-day. and TO show
how these should he met With this knowledge We
and can work to bring about better conditions in

INFNT CANDIDATES.
New-Haven. Conn., Oct 3 (SpeciaD--The ending Of
the second week OF hard work by the Yale football
squad has brought with /; several new developments.
In the first place n number OF the poorest men have
dropped out of the race. and those men who go ost
for practice every day now are. with few excep-
tions men who have had experience and are at least
average Varsity material. This makes 1t easier to
get in good. fast football every afternoon. although
the number OF left makes it still hard to give
every a fair show. a general criticism on the
team as a whole Is that there Is too much fumbling.
poor catching Of kicks and serious weakness when on
the defensive In the Amherst game these defects
were repeat atedly noticeable.
The question as to who VIII MI tho places back OF
the line on this years team H. still puzz.e There
are six or eight men whose playing Is nearly equal.
and several more OF less ability. and yet. with 80
many in the field the material Is considered far be-
low that OF last year. The laess development is the
trial of Louis Hnkey. who has always played left
end fulback. He has had little experience In the
position but punts well and has cool head. II bet
ter man cannot be found he will fill the place. The
loss OF Letton who cannot come out this year VIII pe
offset by the temperance OF Mills on the field In
week He was one Of last years best subsii-
,utes. and will probably play in one of the haIfhack
positions The most likely for the other place Is
benjamin.
