"The New Man."

The lecture last Monday evening
delivered by the Rev. Anna II. Shaw,
under the auspices of the Woman's
Reading club, was attended by a
large and admiring audience. Those
whose privilege 1t was to hear her
on previous occasion, declare them
selves delighted and highly enter
tanned and doubly SO were those
who heard Rev. Shaw for the first
time Monday evening.
Her subject, "The New Man," was
handled in all it's phrases with ease
and elegence, mailing her arguments
by glaring truths, and forcible illus
trations. While in the main her
talk was serious, appealing to all that
is noble. true and manly in man, yet
it was sprinkled here and there with
refined witticisms and delicate hu-
NOR, which in no way detracted from
its seriousness. In clinching the
statement that the New Woman has
come to stay one thing which
must have struck the average new
woman hater very forcibly, was the
manner in which the speaker skill
fully and humorously illustrated the
inability of woman returning to the
occupations of her grandmother's
day, for the simple reason that man
has usurped her place.
1t is to such women we are in
debted for many great reforms, and
it is to the Reading club we owe our
thanks for giving the people of Min
eral Point the opportunity of listen
ing to such lecturers.

Mineral Point Victorious.

In spite of the chilling breeze and
misty rain large crowd congregated
at the fair grounds last Thursday to
see the Thanksgiving foot ball game
between Mineral Point and Dodge
vile elevens. Although the eX-
tremely disagreeable weather neces-
STATED the presence of umbrellas,
makintoshes and rubbers, few eX-
pressed their regret for going or be-
grudged the price of admission, for
the contest proved the hottest and
best of the season.
After miserable delay of at least
half an hour, Brown kicked off for
Mineral Point, Dodgeville advanced
"A few yards, downs soon gave the ball
to Point and ere long returned it to
Dodgeville, who, by a timely punt,
kept Mineral Point from scoring in
the first half.
The second half started with a
kick off by Johns, of Dodgeville,
Mineral Point secured the pigskin,
and steadily forced it down the field
for touchdown, four minutes be-
fore time was called. +. Hoare
kicked goal. Score, Mineral Point g.,
Dodgeville 0. No scoring was done
during the remainder of the half.
Mineral Points last play before time
was called, was that of taking the
oval through Dodgevilles line for
nearly half the length of the field.
Many in both teams had never be-
fore participated in game of foot
ball. Mineral Points backs were in
vincible. Hoare's line bucking,
Bambrough's line bucking and end
running together with Treweek's
lively sprints around the end deserve
special mention. Jeuck, at end and
roay at guard, made their presence
felt. Johns, Satterlee and Davis, of
Dodgevilie, were in evidence in
every play.

GOOD TITLE TO 1T.
A Carfaai InvessiEniion shows ths Geld
Fields To Ne sn ner Side
Of the l.ins.

Washington. Aug. i.-Incited by
newspaper publications recently tend
ing to throw doubts upon the owner
ship of the Klondyke gold fsids, some
OF the big government officials who
would naturally be expected to deal
with the question IL II comes to q
practical issue. have been quietly look
ing into the matter with view to
preparing themselves for any contr0v-
ersy that might arise. Their views
are In substance that there can b. no
valid objection advanced to the titla
OF Great Britain to this territory.
A careful examination Of all the re-
liable charts and maps made far
enough back in date to be free from
suspicion Of influence by the receut
heavy gold finds. has convinced thea
officers that 80 far as the K1ondykc
fields as defined by the latest ne
ports. there can be no question bur
that they lie east Of the 141st meri-
dian. which defines the boundary
line and are within British territory
by about IS miies at least Al for ths
meridian itself. II Is said that n has
been 50 closely located by the surveys
of the Canadians and our own coast
survey that there Ii not at any poine
a difference Of more than 100 feet IN
the claimed boundary. which. of
course. would not substantially affect
any controversy that might grow out
of the line.
