A Foot Ball Victory.

Inspired by the enthusiasm over foot
ball in the Eastern colleges the boys in
the eighth and ninth grades of the Sum
mer street schools organized a team and
challenged the ACADEMY Juniors. The
game was played on the common Wednes-
dav afternoon and resulted in a victory
OF IL to s tor the Union school team.
The latter were considerably smaller
than their opponents, but outplayed
them at every point and put up a rapid
and snappy game. Considering that
this was the first game the school boys
had ever played Captain Brown and his
team are to be congratulated on their
victory.
Ia honor OF the victory the team was
entertained on Friday evening at the
home of Supt. and Mrs. Jones. Brief ad-
dresses were given by Mr.. Jones and one
OF the school directors and light refresh
ments were served. After this the whole
party adj urned to the school house
where the boys wound up their ce'ebra-
ton by vigorously ringing the school
house bell

"The Twentieth Century"

Music Hall was iairly we'll filled on Fri
day evening and an appreciative audi
ence listened for an hour and halt to
Boston's greatest divine, Edward Ever
ett Hale. The lecturer was gracefully
introduced by Prof Comstock as Amer
ica's pastor, and his subject was "The
Twentieth Century, DR.. Hale was
rarely confined to his notes and his Wig
orous style, the personality of the man
and his own love OF his subject all COM
bined to make the lecture interesting to
both young and old.
He began by referring to the fact that
centuries were named by what occurred
in them-the 18th century was the Co.
lumbus century, the 18th century the
analytical century, the present the con.
structive century. Though it was easy
to prophesy it was difficult to do so cor
rectly. The speaker said that the twen-
tieth would be characterized by three
great achievements, all OF which he am
plified by striking Illustrations First,
education would take the place of in
struction-a man would be made out of
a boy and woman out of girl. Sec
ondly, there would be large and system
attic transfers Of people from the thickly
settled portions Of the globe 10 those
places which are now so sparsely settled.
Lastly, the twentieth century would
witness the coming of universal peace.
Besides the United States of America
there would be the United States OF Eu-
rope and above them all supreme tri.
bunal on whose door would be the sign,
international Justice administered here" ;"
DIR. Hale made his last point very
clear with historical illusions and OF
events in many of the European coun.
tries. To prove his statements that uni
versal peace could exist he cited the two
centuries of universal peace in the early
days OF the Roman Empire. quoting ex-
tensively from Gibbon at this point.
Then over thousand years later univer-
sal peace was almost assured under the
plans of Henry Nv. OF France, when his
death at the hands of an assassin ter.
minated his beneicent scheme. DR.. Hale
said the plan OF a supreme tribunal was
not his own creation but one proposed
by the New York Bar Association, and
carefully elaborated as to all its details
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury used
this plan as a basis OF their proposed
treaty which the senate OF the United
States refused to ratify.
In closing DR.. Hale paid the highest
tribute to the Cars sincerity in his cal
for peace congress and said that the
one hundred days war which the United
States had waged for humanity fur
nished the opportunity for such gath
ering. Delegates from all the European
nations and from all other countries who
were credited with representatives at the
Russian court would meet in Belgium in
March to discuss universal peace This
when achieved, as he confidently ex
pected, would be the crowning triumph
OF the twentieth century.

England was trying to make use of
the probability of war with Spain to
inveigle the United States into an alli-
ance offensive and defensive with her.
1t is all very pretty to talk about an
alliance between the English speak
ing people being strong enough to
dominate the world, but the United
States isn't in the dominating bust
ness, and has no idea of going into it.
Besides, it has many and growing
commercial interests that are neces-
sarily directly opposed to those Of
England, and other European nations.
Having successfully played lone
hand for more than century, and
managed to make more progress than
any other nation on earth, it isn't
likely that the United States would
care to hamper itself with partner
now.
The building of three new battle
ships, to be as goodaas the best now
afloat, and one of them to be named
Maine, is authorized by the Naval
Appropriation Bill.
