The Second Eleven From Villa Nova
Defeated.
Before a large and enthusiastic crowd,
the High School Of this city defeated the
second eleven of Villa Nova College,
yesterday morning. The lodal team
played the best game they have played
this season anc deserve great credit for
making two touchdowns. The field was
one sea of mud, and in the first scrimm-
age after they had got up every man on
the two teams looked like brown statues
End running and kicking was impossible
and the team that had the ball did moth
ing but buck the line. Groves, as usual.
played a great game, and the man that
got around his end was indeed lucky.
Lawton buckcd the line like a ficnd as
did Simmons and Gouct. Lingo seldom
failed to gain, and he also tackled well.
Huxley played his usual steady game; in
fact the whole eleven played the game Of
their lives. There was very few stars to
be seen shining on the visiting team as
they seldom had the bail. Kccghan,
llccqan and Driscoll all tackled well.

During our civil war accusations
were hurtled plentifully about that the
fighting would have been ended a year
or two before it was only certain gen.
tlemen high in authority wanted it to
go on until they and their friends had
made fortunes smuggling cotton from
the south and quinine and other sup
plies to the south. There are to this
day those who believe it, It is not sur
,prising, therefore, to find the same
charges being made in reference to the
Cuban war. It is even said, how truth
fully, Of course, one cannot say, that
Weyler himself is amassing great pri-
vate fortune out Of the Cuban war by
blackmailing and other methods. In
support Of such accusations is for one
thing the story that Weyler allowed
two cannons to be sold recently by
Spanish officers to the insurgents. An
other point is the arrest of wealthy 10y
alists and supposed, loyalists in Havana
charged with constantly selling supplies
in an underhand way to the Cuban
army. Nobody knows whether it is tue
or not, as reported, that the Havana
chief of police told the arrested men
they would be released If they paid col
lectively 100000 to the military
authorities. That, however, such a
story is told has bad look on the face

WATER POWER POSSIBLE
VI TIES.

Pioneer Press: Far-seeing men
III over the world are looking for
.su bstitutes for the coal which, as
the source Of steam power and as
: necessity in various metallurgical
operations, lies at the basis Of near.
" all manufacturing enterprises.
Coal is getting dearcr everywhere,
even in regions where, as in the
greater part of the United States,
no scarcity has vet been develop.
ed: With the rapid increase OF
consumption, which follows the
increase Of population, the day
cannot be far off when scarcity
will be felt even in what are now
the most favored regions. The
yoking of the winds or the suns
rays to the chariot of industry &C.
cupies the thoughts ofnot a few.
Ericsson taught US, before he died, ,
that a caloric engine set in
motion by the suns direct rays
was not an impossiLility, and in
the direction Of power generated
by Observation-Disclosures sun
furnishing the heat-still more de-
finite successes seem to lie. But
it is in the greater development OF
natural water power that the most
practical men look for the readiest
substitute for steam. Lord Mel
vim, the eminent British scientist,
said recently in public address
that he looked for such scientific
and succ cessful use Of water power
that the industrial conditions Of
all Scotland would thereby be
transformed. All classes and all
parts Of tho country, he thought,
" ouId be profoundly affected. The
loo alities where the "scientific and
su ccessful" development of water
power can be achieved at the
SIN allest expense are those which
will take the lead now held by
localities most accessible to coal
deposits. Not a few such water
favored localities, where natural
power has been used in a wasteful
war by old.fashioned methods,
are studying how best to get the
full value from the natural en-
dowments of their sites by the use
of more scientific methods.
