FOOTBALL, PRO AND con.
Question of Its Adjustment Being
aGenerally Discussed.

Syracuse, n. Y, Nov. 24-Rev. DR..
James r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse
university and a Methodist clergyman,
said in a public address,:
I believe that some such game as foot
ball, which contains elements of rough
ness and danger, is necessary to the de-
velopment of many young men in univer-
stiles and seminaries. Its future is tend
ing towards more open playing of the
game. I do not believe in the hurting of
one mass of humanity against another
until one or the other becomes exhausted,
but 1 do not feel like joining the univer-
sal outcry against the game. American
people are easily Influenced into a gem
eral epidemic of reform, but I think that
foot ball has come to stay. 1t is encour-
aged by the faculty of Syracuse universi-
ty. Foot ball would fail of one of its
chief ends, in my estimation, if it did not
teach the young man self-controL A man
who goes through a season of being trOd-
den upon and knocked down deserves fair
ly diploma in the art of self-controI. 1t
is valuable discipline"
These remarks were loudly applauded.
Chicago, Nov 24.-Trustees of North
western university are considering the ad-
visibility of banishing foot ball from that
institution.
James H. Raymond has introduced a
resolution before the executive committee
of the board effectualIy barring the game.
1t will come up for consideration at the
next meeting, the first Tuesday in Decem-
Der. What action the trustees will take
is hard to predict. An effort was made to
get an opinion from President Rogers.
but he refused to discuss the Raymond
resolution.
Cleveland, o., Nov. 24.-Baldwin uni
versity also has a foot ball sensation.
The eleven went to Tifdn on Saturday
and played the Tiffin team, and arrived
home at midnight with one of it's mem
bers seriously injured and the others
badly bruised and battered They left
one member at Tifhn also in a dangerous
condition. Captain Reed of Keene, o..
has concussion of the brain and is stiH
unconscious. FuIlback Young, coach for
Baldwin, is suffering from injuries to the
head and is still delirious at last report.
The Baldwin men claim that the Tifhn
team put in a ringer in the second half,
who, after throwing Reed down, jumped
upon his head. He repeated the per-
formance in the case of Young. Reed
remained unconscious and was carried to
the train in that condition.
When the team was almost ready to
board the train Young was missed. After
a search of several hours he was found
wandering about in an alley out of his
head. He was taken to a hospital in Tif
fin, where he is now. A stop of five
hours was made at Shelby, where Captain
Reed was attended by a physician. The
affair has created intense excitement.

TO FORCE BRYAN,S NAME.
Scheme to Shut Out All Other Candi-
dates in 1900.

Chicago, Nov. 24-The Posts Washing
ton special says:
From members of the Democratic ma
tional committee who are now in the city
1t is learned that a plan is on foot to in
augurate new departure next time in
the method of nominating a candidate for
the presidency. The scheme is briefly
this: The Democratic state conventions
will be held as usual in 1900 for the pur>
pose of electing delegates to the national
convention and doing the usual part to-
ward keeping up the machinery of the
party. The convention will order the
delegates to meet at once and instruct
the national committee to readopt the
Chicago platform in it's entirety and with>
out changing it in the minutest particu>
lar. The delegates will be further in
structed to direct the national committee
to cast the votes of the state delegations
for Mr.. Bryan and to authorize that gen.
teman to name his own running mate.
Unanimous assent to this scheme is not
expected, but an overwhelming majority
is anticipated, and the result will be that
there will be no national Democratic con-
ventiOn. This proceeding is yet three
years distant, and many things may hap
pen in three years, but there is no guess
tion about the intention of the Bryanites
to force the denomination of the Ne
braskan in the manner that has been out
lined above.

PIANO TRUST FORMING.
All the Big Factories to Be
Merged in a Combine.

New York, Nov. 24.-The World says
Several attempts have been made dur
ing the past six years, to bring the
piano industry into line with the num-
erous other great industries that have
united. Alfred Dodge was the prime
mover in former plans. He has spent
years working up the deals of his great
project.
Among the firms it is hoped will be-
come part of the organization, are
these:
Steinway & Sons, Sohmer & Co, Haz-
elton Bros, Alferd Dodge & Son, Web
er-WheelOck Co., Strauch Bros, E.
Gabler q Bros, Spies Piano Manufac-
Ha1neS Bros, krakauer Bros, Pease
Piano Co, Decker & Son, Estey Co,
Jacob Doll, Weser Bros, Behr Bros, J.
& c. Fischer, Davenport & Treacy Co,
Roth & Englehart, Needham Piano and
Organ Co, and KrOeger Piano Co, the
Chickering, Knabe and Cottage compa-
nies.
The Steinway, Chickering, Knabe,
KimbaI and Gable Chicago Cottage)
companies, WILL it is expected be the
promoters. with the supply house of
Alfred Dodge, form the backbone of the
organization. The organization will
have branch houses in New York. BOs-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis, New Orleans, Denver, San Fran
cisco, and in a few other large cities.
Great savings are expected. On the
output of 100 900 pianos ca good years
producO, the saving in advertising
alone would amount to from $4,000, 600
to $4,000, 600. A still greater saving is
expected from the concentration in a
work now done in a hundred factories
scattered all over the country.

TO AVOID THE ORDER.
Brotherhood of Firemen, Trainmen
and Telegraphers Will Not Join
the New League.

Peoria, Ill, Nov. 24.-It is said at head
quarters of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, Brotherhood of Trainmen
and Order of Railway Telegraphers that
those organizations, as such. VIII have
nothing to do with the new Railway En-
ployes' and TeIegraphers Political League
of America, they had nothing to do
with the old American Railway league,
because of their political character, un-
less the league should endeavor to use
them through their own members. Then
they would take measures to stop such
intrigues.
The November number of the Train
mems Journal criticises the old league
severely. 1t declares: 1T (the league) is
an attempt to make politicians, railroad
managers and others believe that the Of
fcers of the league possess an aH-power-
full influence with the men that will lead
them to vote whichever way the afore>
said officers direct them. It's purpose is
not only political but partisan"

PLAYED SNAKE CHARMER.

But the Black Snake Rluffed Her.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Nov. 24.-The role
of snake charmer was played by a soci-
ETY. girl of nearby town here yesterday
For some days past a number of huge
snakes from the east have been on ex>
hibition in this city, with all the attrac-
tion of poster and pantomime which go
with vagrant shows of this order
Among the many visitors was a young
lady of attractive bearing, who manifest
ed an inordinate interest in the reptiles
and finally, emboldened by the patroniz-
ing air of the manager, begged leave to
try her skill, claiming she had played the
role of charmer with several circuses in
her time Her request was granted with
out hesitation, and she at once stepped
into the case and began fondling the
monsters.
First she wrapped a huge fellow about
her neck; then with another she encir>
cled her waist, and reached for a third,
an immense blacksnake, which, however,
recoiled at her touch and struck a her
ferociously. She barely snatched her
hand away in time, and with scream Of
terror tore from about her neck and waist
the two which had wound themselves
tightly about her. and leaped from the
cage and through the door into the street,
screaming at the top of her voice.

Banks Consolidatinr

New York. Nov. 4-There were rumOrs
in the financial district today to the eff
feet that several old downtown banks in
tend to follow the example of the Third
National and United States National
banks by. consolidating with stronger fn>
ancial institutions. Rumors say one of the
oldest banks in lower Broadway is con-
templating consolidation with a newer
and stronger bank. Yet another rumor
heard was to the effect that one of the
Fulton street banks, presumably the Full
ton Market National bank, is negotiating
to purchase the accounts of a neighborips
bank. 1t is not unlikely that something
may come out of these rumors. before the
end of the month.

Their Faith in This Medicine is

Hoods SarsapariIla is not merely a sim

Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.

Nor are these all. Other very valuable
