on SATURDAYS Game.

No player on the Scranton team has de-
served more credit during the last ten
days than Bonner. He has at all times
been full of that life and snap that en-
courages all the other players, whether
winning or losing. and he has yet to be
criticized for a misplay, which is plainly
more serious than an ordinary erro In Its
effect on strong team play. He was one
of the last on the club to get in condi-
tion. but he came around in good form
and has not in three years done better
all-around work than at present. a feat
ure of his playing is that he is at the right
place in a mix-up and backs up" with
a celerity and hustle that delights the
hearts OF the fans.

Little wonder that the Wilkes-Barre
team has been putting mp n dopey kind
of game. Yesterday Manager Powell de-
MED his men the privilege of rooms at a
hotel, but took them direct to Athletic
park where they prepared for the game
in the Scranton clubs dressing rooms.
After the game the players were walked
to the Delaware and Hudson crossing
where, without having had a rest or sup
per, they boarded the train for Wilkes
Barre. This penuriousness may be the
fault Of the owners and not of the man
aser, but the fault Is there just the same
and stands out in a glaring and unfavora-
be contrast against the policy of other
clubs. The players grumbled about it yes
terday and two of them remarked that
hereafter they would have dressing room
convcniences and warm supper after
the game, even though they have to bear
the expense.
When the Miners go to Wllkes-Barre
today they will be quartered and have
proper dres sing apartments at a hotel
and will have supper after the game. The
expense will not be theirs either.
Scranton cranks can leave fer today S

"Stock, and Stock Feeding" introduced
by j. FL. Edwards. Evening session
.'The Home" by Sylvia Nichols, was a
paper listened to with great interest,
and not soon to be forgotten by those
who heard. sThe Ideal Farmer" by
w. G.. Belknap, was well received.
Literature in the Home,' that would
have been presented by Mrs. S. G. Starr
but for an unavoidable absence, was
then discussed at some length. And if
this were a representative assembly of
farmers, clean wholesome newspaper
is much in demand and when found is
appreciated. Stereopticon views of in
sects and fungus pests were paesen ted
under Prof. Pernot, and our first, but
we hope not our last, institute closed.
1t should be added that the attendance
was not as large as could have been
desired, on account of the meeting not
being well advertised, and perhaps
lack OF appreciation of the average
farmer. But your correspondent certain
ly expresses the feeling Of all those who
did attend when we say to our friends
from the O. A. G., come again.

On Dec 3rd. the morning session
opened with a paper by Miles Starr,

new on the farm?" was the subject of
the next paper, by R. J. Nichols, show
ing much research, clear conceptions
and brilliancy of intellect. And as Prof.
French said, bristling with good sug
gestions. Prof. French then introduced
the subject of "Summer Fallowing''
which led to extended discussion, which
proved both interesting and instructive.
Here science and careful experiment
came in touch with the practical farmer,
and much good must come of such dis
cussions. In the afternoon session
Drainage" was discussed by Prof.

GREAT FOOTBALL DAY.
EVERYONE WITNESSED THE GRAND
INTERSTATE CONTEST.
Many Present from all Parts of the
State-Plenty Of Rain and
Orange Ribbon.

Saturday last, Dec. 4th, will be long a
memorable day in college annals with the
o. A. c., and will be remembered as a
most exciting day in the history of Cor
wallis. Although the weather was bad
and it ralned all the forenoon, yet every
train brought crowds of people, and ev-
cry road leading to the town was lined
with vehicles of every description, loaded
with people to witness the struggle be-
tween our own college team and the
team from the Seattle University in the
state of Washington.
Every one was excited, and orange
bunting and orange ribbons were dis
played from the business houses and
from the person of nearly every one you
met. About the time the game was
called the strain was intense; and instead
of the noisy demonstration usually made
on such occasions, every one was quiet
until after the play had been well ad-
vanced in the first half, when we dis
covered that our boys had nothing to
fear and then we all broke loose.
There must have been 1900 to 1000
people present, probably 1000 strangers
in town, and yet it is to the credit of all
parties that no unseemly demonstration
was indulged in, and not one who had
a sign of liquor in him was seen on
the grounds, or on the street. In another
column the Mite boys give fine de-
scriptlon of the game.

Poisoned.

One of the most extraordinary case:
of accidental poisoning that has evel
come to our knowledge occurred here or
Saturday and Sunday last. Over s
persons in all were poisoned from eating
head cheese that was made in the country
at the house of John Hulburt. Every
person who ate it, old and young, became
at once afflicted in the same way.
Violent vomiting and purging with in
tense pain were the prominent symptoms
and all the physicians were kept busy
fighting something they knew nothing
about, for up to this writing no discovery
has been made that would give any clue
to it. 1t was at first supposed the meat
had been boiled in copper kettle, but
this proves to be wrong. Then that the
seasoning was probably at fault, and this
also proves untrue; so that what it is
remains mystery. A sample of the
head cheese was sent to the o. A. C.
chemical laboratory, but nothing has so
far been heard from it.
Most of those afflicted are recovering,
and many have quite recovered, but a
few, among them Mr.. o. V. Hurt, are
still quite seriously i'll.
The unfortunate ones, SO far as we
have been able to gather their names, are
Victor Hurt, wife and children, Burt
Sharp, Miss Whitman, Capt. Plumstead,
wife and child, Marion Wood P. Lew
is, wife and 3 children, A. Galdner, wife
and 2 children, ]. w. Ray, wife and 2
]. Creson, wife and 2 children,
Mr.. Gardner, of the photo gallery, wife
and children. Mr.. Starr and Mrs.
Petty's little daughter, Miss Whitaker,
Miss Lane, with John Hulburt, the man
who made the head-cheese, and his
whole family, besides many whose names
we could not learn.
DR.. Farra, who is attending most of
he patients, says that there are still four
Or five of them seriously sick, but if no
arise they will all pull
through. He says it is Ptomains' poison
ng, and that it occurs by exposing
certain animal foods to certain conditions
where 1t absorbs germs.
1t has been the one thing talked about
n town this week, and for months to
:ome people will be very careful of what
hey eat. Head.cheese will be a drug
n the market.

Our Heroes.

Here's hand to the boy who has courage
To do what he knows to be right;
When he falls in the way of temptation
He has hard battle to fight.
Who strives against self and his comrades,
Will find most powerful foe;
All honor to him if he conquers,
A cheer for the boy who says "Nov"
There's many battle fought daily
The world knows nothing about;
There's many brave little soldier
Whose strength puts legion to rout.
And he who fights sin single-handed.
Is more of hero, say,
Than he who leads soldiers to battle
And conquers by arms in the fray.
Be steadfast, my boy, when you're
tempted,
To do what you know to be right;
Stand firm by the colors OF manhood,
And you will o'ercome in the fight,
''The right, be your battle cry ever
In waging the warfare of life;
And God. who knows who are the heroes,
Will give you the strength for the strife
