PENIS showing against Brown mere
ly goes to show that The Spy was cor
rect in saying that playing weak teams
had disorganlzing influence. Brown,
with the addition of Wheeler at right
guard, has a very strong, heavy line,
with good ends with foot ball know
ledge of Penn's game. It was quite a
different story at Philadelphia than 1t
has been for the past few Wednesdays
and Saturdays.
Cornell is showing unexpected
strength with her light backs. In de-
feating Carlisle Saturday 23-6, Cornell
showed that she has a very fne team,
and scored as large a total as will any
team against the Indians this year.
There is no excuse for the Indians not
being very strong this year, as they
present nearly the same lineup as in
years past. It may be that the loss of
Billy Bull and Hickok, their two coach
es, has disheartened them. Furthermore
II may be said that the Indians have
been used to playing q close and ex-
tremely compact defensive game which
did not serve the purpose against Cor
nell's open game.
Brown has braced wonderfully in a
week and has one of the best lines
among the smaller colleges. She should
far out-point Dartmouth when thew

Epworth League Convention.

sub-diStrlet convention OF the Ep-
worth League was held at the Methodist
Church here last Tuesday and Wednes-
day. These conventions are held at var
ious points in the district in order that
as many as possible of the members of
the League may have the advantage of
discussion and suggestion regarding
methods Of work. The convention was
not largely attended by out of town dele
gates, but those who did come and the
people here who attended the sessions re-
ceived much benefit. The convention was
called to order soon after o. clock Tues
day by Rev. A. Dixon of Barton Land
ing, president of the St. Johnsbury Dis
tri"t League. After singing, Rev &. II.
Wright of Derby offered prayer. Miss
Sadie King was chosen secretary. Rev
l.. J. Gale i'll behalf of the local chapter
gave short address of welcome to the
delegates, responded to by the president
The first topic taken up was. "Why is
not the Literary Department worked
more than it is for mind culture?" A
paper written by member of the Derby
Chapter was read by Rev. G. H. Wright.
Three other papers were read which had
been prepared by members of the Chapter
at St. Johnsbury Centre Miss Leta
Eaton read a paper on "What are the
best social lines on which to run a League
Chapter?" Following this Rev. J. A.
Dixon read a paper on the subject, How
shall we offer awaiting prayer" Next
came short but very suggestive addresses
by Revs. G. H. Wright and W. Z. Doug
lass. The whole session was very help
ful to all who were present.
In the evening a good sized audience
gathered to hear an address by Rev. w.
E. Douglass. The address showed the
result Of wide reading and careful prep
aration. He began by saying that he
could present nothing that was original.
There is no originality in man. Man
makes discoveries but they are not new.

its distinguished authors, the war and
navy departments and other branches
the Government extended every possible
aid to make this volume not only stan
dard and official history of the war, but
the most complete, well-rounded, and
elaborate record ofthe struggle that will
probably ever be written. No three liy-
ing American writers could more fifty as
sumo this responsible task or produce a
more honest, truthful and impartial
book. Their entire familiarity with the
political history of the country, their
fund of statistical information, their indie
nendence and fearlessness, all guarantee
that this work is one of more than ordi-
nary value. 1tpresents deeper, broader,
more exhaustive exhibit of the long train,
of causes w hich eliminated in the con
fict than can be found in any other work.
1t is the most ample, brilliant, and reads-
bic book that the war has called forth.
1t is not only rich in historical informa-
ton, but as instructive in its method of
presentation as it is fascinating in mar
rative. 1t is, in our opinion, the only
hook that rises to the dignity of real
history of the Spanish-American conflict.
1t needs no better introduction to the
eighty millions of American freemen than
the names of its three illustrious authors.
The magnificent illustrations include a
series ofseven superb steel-plate portraits
of President Mckinley from a photo
graph approved by hmself), Generals
Miles, Skater, aud Merritt. and Admirals
Dewey, Sampson, and Schley. II is
worthy of note that these are the only
steel-plate portraits of these famous men
ever published. 1t also contains colored
and elaborate maps, showing in great
detail Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico.
the Hawaiian Islands, etc. There are
besides large number of maps and dia-
grams inserted in the text to illustrate
battles, campaigns, naval operations,
etc. There are also 80 magnificent full
page illustrations. In the preparation of
these maps, steelplates, and illustrations
no expense or pains have been spared to
make them all that art, skill, and talent
could produce. In no other history of
the war can anything even approaching
them be found,
1t is worth more than all other books
r and manuals on this subject, for in none
of them nor in them all combined can be
found so much solid information as this
thoroughly standard high-class book
contains, which has, i'll addition, many
beautiful illustrations and the inestima-
BILE value of being truthful. If we speak
; warmly of this book, it is because it is
! richly worth all the praise that can be
bestowed upon it.

An Illustrated History of Our War
with Spain.
BY HON. II. d. RUSSELL, SENATOR PROCTOR
AND SENATOR THURsToN.

BY HON. II. h. RUSSELL, SENATOR PROCTOR,
AND SENATOR THURsToN.
This magniticcntl, illustrated. richly
filed, and scholarly volume gives a COM
plete and authentic history of the Span
ist-Amercan War from its beginning to
its close. Its authors are three widely
known men, Hon. Henry B. Russell the
distinguished historian, Hon. Redfeld
Proctor, Senator from Vermont and
ex.Secretary of War, and Hon. John NJ.
Thurston, Senator from Nebraska.
The subject naturally divides itself in
to two parts: /. How we got into the
war with Spain; and IL. How we got
out of it and with what results. This
volume tells the whole story, makes clear
all the causes of action that led up to
and eliminated in the conflict, gives pen
pictures OF those who figured in it, and
relates many exciting Incidents, brave
deeds, and thrilling adventures connected
with the struggle. The mutterings OF
the distant war cloud. the indignation
and uprising of the whole people, North
and South, when the veterans OF the Blue
and the veterans OF the Gray took tlielr
places side by side behind the same flag
the departure of fleets of powerful modern
warships, the march of hostile armies
the strife and carnage of battle on lane
and sea, the deeds of valor and heroi'
suferings of our gallant soldiers anc
sailors in field and hospital, all are por
trayed with consummate skill.
Every event is placed i'll chronological
order, and the fullest and most authori
tative statistics are given. As might b
expected from the ligh positions filled b,
