Exciting Foot Ball.

There was very exciting game
Of foot bali at Lancaster, on We'd
nesday last between the team of La
fayette College, which is considered
one OF the strongest in the country,
and the Franklin and Marshall Col
lege, on which team our recent local
editor, Wisner, Jr., plays as full
back. 1t resulted in score of 8 to
0 in favor of Lafayette. In discrib-
ing the game the Philadelphia Press
says the following in reference to
our local player: Wisner's punting
was especially strong, and not one
of his kicks was blocked. Locher
made some fine tackles. Franklin
and Marshall put up splendid de-
fensive game, to which can be
ascribed the small score of their OPP
ponents, who outweighed them
twenty-five pounds to the man.

The Great viOlinlst.


Edouard Remenyi, the violin;st,
had very delightful experience re-
Gently. He was visiting in the home
of Mr.. Fl. Fl. Kohlsaat, of Chicago,
proprietor of the Chicago Times
Herald, and Chicago EuenaRg Post,
when after dinner it was suggested
that it would be pleasant thing to
call up President.elect Mckinley
over the long distance telephone
and have Remenyi play for him and
his wife so Canton, and the Me-
Kinley home was called up and the
suggestion made. The reply came
that Mrs. Mckinley and the Presi-
dent-elect would lie delighted. The
great maestro placed himself in
front of the receiver of the phone
and played two numbers; the reply
came back from Canton that they
heard it perfectly, and were enrap-
tured with the beautiful strains, and
they thanked the great artist over
and over again for the novel must
cal treat furnished by him. In
writing to his manager, Mr.. Thearle,
about it, the great virtuoso des-
cribes the event in his own inimita-
bic manner as follows: "Haye
played last night to Major McKin-
ley and to Mrs. Mckinley two
tunes. How Over the long dis
lance telephone at Mr.. Kohlsaat's
house where | was guest with
Major Handy. Major Mckinley
thanked me over and over again.
Isn't it wonderful ?" And, truly it is
wonderful when you consider the
distance between Mr.. Kohlsaat's
home in Chicago and the Mckinley
home in Canton is four hundred
miles. This world-renowned violin
list will be at the New Opera House,
next Wednesday night. Don't miss
hearing him. Reserved seats IS

didate.
In summing up the case against Platt's
leadership, The Press thus convicts
itself:
1t was the disruption of the party, the
driving away of more than 100000 of its
members, that con pleted the failure of
Mr.. Plat to lead These voters he drove
away from the party by depriving them
of their right 10 have voice in the man
agement of their partv's affairs The
result at the polls was an incident of the
failure.
The question of "leade ship" is very
easily to be determined. Give back the
party management to the party, and let
it decide who is to "lead." If it desires
Mr.. Platt % "lead" it, then must Mr..
Patt "lead." If it decides that Mr..
Plat should not lead" then Mr.. Platt,
if he is as true a Republican AS those
who admire him say he is. must step down
from the "ltadershp." For if his man
agement of the party machinery is to
cost permanently in New York city
100000 votes, he cannot continue to
"lead" without full knowledge that the
whole party of his state is a stupendous
sacrifice to his personal desires. If Mr..
Plat were a spotless saint, if he had
the wisdom of a thousand SolOmOns and
the force of ten thousand NapOleOns,
yet would there be no justice to Repub-
licanism in his leadership" if the party
would not follow 1t.

Female lobbyists exist largely in
the minds of playwrights, who invest
them with charms and potent powers
exhibited nowhere but on the stage.
lBtt. for all that. the lady lobbyist
does exist, and she plies her trade in
humble way at both ends of the Cap
itol at Washington.
AS a rule, the woman who habitually
and daily visits the statesmen has a
personal axe to grind in the way of a
private pension bill or claim bill, or
the securing of employment in the De-
partment Service. Occasionally. how
ever, she is employed directly for the
purpose of influenC ng the vote of SEN
Gtors or RepreseL tives in behalf Of
some measure of general legislation.
AS for the Queen OF the Lobby"
she seems to have passed away with
the days of Pacific Mail and Credit
MObilier.
The female lobbyists who come to
the Capitol nowadays are expected to
work only for themselves. A special
place is set aside for them at the
House of Representatives a corner in
Statuary hall, called by the irreverent
The Hennery." But at the Senate the
female visitor must go to the public re-
ception room and send in her card. II
she is young and pretty she gets to the
marble room without trouble and talks
to her Senator with freedom. If
she is Unattractive she is quite apt to
remain in the public reception room
with the general crowd.
