An advertisement advising young
men to study journalism at hcme, Is
now a feature in a number Of high
class periodicals. This "schoOl of jour
nalism" promises to impart the secrets
of editing, reporting and all other
branches of newspaper and literary
work, teaching the student to become
proficient in the course of a brief time
by employing only his spare moments.
Not few newspapers bear evidence
cf being made up by home students
at some distance from their place Of
qualifications. The experiences of ID
"home student" who thought he knew
it all, written after q week Of practical
work on a live newspaper, would make
! interesting reading. His school theOr-
les might apply to getting out hasty
report of a midnight fire in Petersburg
or an early Sunday morning christen-
| ing in select Polish circles UP the val.
Hey, but again they might not. The
best school for journalism is in jour
nalism itself.

The Great American Game.

The agony is over. On the frozen
turf meath leaden skies the heroes
have struggled for the laurels that may
be worn for the next twelve months
Their pathway has been strewn with
gore! They NAV not have been per-
mittad to grasp TIE honors OF tile
victor. But there is no question that
in the struggle for supremacy all nave
been in earnest. In this respect the
great American game of football -
probably without n parallel. In other
amusing occupations it is often con-
tended that the game has been given
away; but football is struggle thaS
is made purely for glory, and none
were ever accused Of shrinking at a
critical moment or playing into the
hands of the foe. Though they may
have been vanquished in ignominious
haste; though the tangled locks on
many a classic brow may have been
trailed in the dust like the broom OF
the white-wingai street sweeper; yet
the scars and bruises that have TO a
certain extent been endured in vain
should cntitle the martyr to college
pride to the respect of his Fellows.
Whata ever the result of an encounter
like those which claimed the attention
of every young American with a drop
or so Of sporting blood in his veins yes
torday, it is certain that the athletes
who were obliged to postpone the
pleasure of wearing the medals FOL
another year went down lighting hard
The amount of attention that a mod
ern game of football attracts is Otter
astonishing. The fact that an encoun'
ter that lasts less than an hour be-
tween lot Of enthusiastic young col
| lege boys can arouse a feeling of ad'
vance interest which is kept up fol
weeks is often the subject for sarcasm
and the dyspeptiCs are prone to NOR
aliZe in cynical manner upon the
passion for the game which for time
apparently becomes of more import
| ance III a college than the regular
studies. Another class deplores tn,
| brutality of the amusement and Ia
ments the fact that the games arr
often marked by features that are Nul
guarly termed Scraps" They cOntenC
that it is the "scrapping' features tina
make the game so attractive to tn
masses. This may be true. The Amer
lean people certainly do possess veil
OF combativcness. it has been inner
tied. The admiration for physical cour
age has ever been great in this lam
of the free. f, y spirit of cOmbativcnes
was rife in '7G. 1t has been prominen
in affairs of n similar nature since
While brutality is not to he cncour
aged to an extent that will tend to low
er the standard Of civilization, ther
seems no reason why the spirit of =
should not be allowed at least one
or twice a year to find vent in a foot
ball game. 1t is not a good plan t
smother entirely the inclination I
fight. Let the spirit of admiration fC
physical and military achievements /
fostercd within reason. All homo
therefore, to the hlOOd-stained hCroe
of the football field!

Beware Of paying too little for
your clothes; a form Of economical
extravaganza which will cost you
dear in the end.
Cheap is the one argument ad-
vanced by four-ffthS Of those who
want to sell you clothes.
The market is literally flooded
with So-called "Custom-made"
clothes, backed up by advertising
which is an insult to the intelligence
of the community.
Don't be tempted by these offers,
which your common sense should
tell you will never be fulfilled.

There is trouble in the Reichsrath!
President Abrahamovics, in addition to
the burden of his somewhat tangled
surname, has been designated by the
irreverant members Of the 'Rath as
a Polish scoundrel," "swindler,"
"blackguard," and "Badini eunech."
Judging from reports of the recent pro-
ceedings of the Austrian house of law
makers, President Abrahamovics would
be justified in substituting a longbar-
relied duck-gun loaded with No. shot,
for the gavel, when presiding at future
meetings.

Thanksgiving proclamations have
been an autumnal feature for such a
length of time that ii would seem no
remarkably novel or unique stvle of
composition could be devised in pro-
mitigating them to the world. It APP
pears, however, that the governor of
Indiana has been able to achieve
new thing under the sun in the way OF
his Thanksgiving announcement, but
it is rather pity that he and the pub
lie at large are so exercised over the
fact that Governor Pingree recognizes
n good thing when he sees 1t and con-
sdered that official document worth
copying for the edihcation of the
Michiganders. They should appreciate
the fact that Governor Pingree is a
very busy man and that he cannot be
expected to manage potato patches, in
vest in asDhalt lakes, superintend
training ships. keen an eye on Argen-
tine and incidentally run the state Of
Michigan and also bother to get up
unique Thanksgiving proclamations.
He no doubt believes in the Emer-
sOnian theory that next to the author
of Il good sentence is the first quoter
of il, and as there is no copyright on
Thanksgiving proclamations he should
not be so enthusiastically condemned.
William J. Bryan states that he ex-

earnest in the avowed intention of oc-
cupying the political coach.

Under the Rcd Robe.

Romantic drama has not been 50
popular for years as it is to-day and
success has crowned the production
OF each play OF this kind this season.
The daring gallant who rushes madly
into danger on the least prOv0catiOn,
the lady fair. the crafty villain, the
quick exchange of wit, the flashing
sword and the romantic atmosphere OF
these new plays seem to appeal par
ticularly to the public after surfeit
of problem and society plays. Under
the Red Robe" as presented by the
Empire Theater Stock company, is an
admirable production, both from the
scenic and the histrionic standpoint.
One OF the members of the company
who appears in this play and who has
been with the Frohman forces for sew
eral seasons is Miss Ida Conquest. q

prominent and the finest actresses
foreigners. Ada Rehan and Rose Cogh-
Ian, both so well and widely known,
are Irish by birth: Madame Modjeska
is a Pole; yet all three have come to
be regarded as American actresses.
But, on the other hand. We have a
number of native born actresses who
may lay considerable claim to great
ness. Cora Urquhart Potter is wo-
man who possesses the true genius of
tragedy allied to ambition and the
spirit of the real artist she is one OF
the most striking figures on our stage
and one who will yet be acknowledged
for her fine work as Queen of the
American Stage" Julia MarlOwe-Ta-
devoted her time and talents to the
presentation of standard plays rather
than encouraging aspiring dramatists,
but her reputation as a Shakespearean
actress is considerable and we'll de-
served. Elita Proctor Otis is a woman
who possesses nre. passion and robust
beauty, which have never yet had the
right opportunity for display, but
when the occasion arrives she will
quickly exhibit the fine qualities of her
work. Fanny Davenport. who has
spent a great deal Of money and con-
scientious work on her productions,
and Margaret Mather. who is just re-
appearing in Shakespearean repertoire
after a retirement of four years-are
both actresses whose work is a credit
to the American stage. In fact q re-
flection on this subject but emphasizes
the general excellence Of our actresses,
and whereas other nations may crown
one queen. America might easily
choose a dozen.
