phia Cornell has the best team this
year that has ever represented the col

years past. A year ago today Cornell
year, by her strong playing against
Pennsy. Cornell has no fear of the
famous guards back play, and will en-
ter tOmQrFOW's game determined to
win On the other hand. Pennsy. sore
over losing her big game to Harvard,
VIII attempt TO retrieve her lost foot
ball prestige, by running up a high
score on Cornell. AS both teams are
( evenly matched, a. good game should be
played and the score should be small.
The most important game in this vi
cinity Will be played in Boston between
Holy eros and Boston College. These
schools are Old rivals. and the game to-
day is to be the most important of the
season. on Nov. the team played in

Swine.

Pigs intended for early killing
should be kept confined in clean,
comfortable pens and steadily push
ed for market. No pasturage for
the early porlSor. Every ounce of
food must go to the making of pork,
early, tender pork. Herein is the
path to profit.
Pork raising should be part of
the routine of every we'll conducted
farm and consistently followed
whether prices be high or ow.
The experience gained in the prao-
tice of economy in times of depress-
ion, shonld contribute toward max.
ing the profit still greater when
prices tend upward.
While the growing pig should
have pasturage and range and
sholud be Industrious enough to take
plenty of exercise to promote
healthy digestion, it is not we'll at
all to force him to trough it,.
The profit in raising them results
only from raising them right. What
is the best method of treating them
depends much on local conditions.
Pasturage in abundance, plenty of
pure water, shelter from the sun
in summer and from storms and
cold, and clean, well ventilated
sleeping quarters are essential every
where. If native grasses are not
sufficient, cultivated pasturage
should be supplied-and the pastur-
age should be the most important
factor in developing thehog,

upon the propriety of lombard

cock was then president of congress
After General Washingtons letter
was read solemn silence ensued
This was broken by a member max.

resolve itself into a committee OF
the whole in order that Mr.. Han
cock might give his opinion upon
the important subject, as he was
deeply interested from having all
his estate in Boston After he
left the chair he addressed the
chairman of the committee

words ut is true, sir, nearly all

Loss of the Maine.

The German Naval Commander
Gercke publishes in the current
number of the official Marine Rund-
shau an extremely interesting ar
ticle on the loss of the Maine" He
comes to the following conclusion /:
lit is difficult, if not impossible, to
| give a definite answer to the ques-
tion as TO what the cause of the eX-
plosion on board the Maine may
have been. There is much proba-
bility for the assumption that gas
was generated from coal or fresh
paint, and, becoming in some way
ignited, caused an explosion in the
magazine that only one explosion
took place, and that no mine played
any part in the affair" Comman-
der Gercke continues by saying that
if it should be proved that mine
was capable of inflicting such dam
age as that suffered by the "Maine"
extensive changes must in future
be made in naval construction, such
rs strengthening of ships bottoms
and the changing of ammunition
spaces. For our own part we can
not coincide with his views that
there is the least probability of the
explosion being due either to gases
generated from fresh paint or coal"
TO our minds, after the most careful
perusal of the evidence given
before the United States Naval
Court and a minute examination
of the drawings attached to the
report, it is only possible to arrive
at the conclusion that the explosion
came from the outside The evil
dence and report generally appears
to us to finally dispose of any chance
of the explosion having occurred on
the inside and from causes suggested
by Herr Gercke.
AS to the changes suggested by
this gentleman in regard to the
Strengthening of ships bottoms, we
cannot think that any strengthen
ing within reasonable limits would
protect ship from the effect of the
explosion of such mine as, in all
probability, has been the cause of
the destruction of the "Maine" and
the loss of some two hundred and
fifty gallant men.-Industries and
Iron, of London.

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKE

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
THOSE Democrats who fondly
hoped their State Convention
would grasp the situation and have
the political sagaoity to take full ad-
vantage of the internal dissensions
OF their political opponents, will be
disappointed, The Convention was
dominated by the free silver ele-
ment, and while there is nothing in
the platform directly asserting this
heresy, yet the candidate for Gov
ernor, Geo. A. jerks, who was
prominent in the Bryan campaign
OF 1895, stands as representing the
sllverltes, and the silence of the
platform on the question presum-
ably will embrace the hard money
wing. That is, the nomination Of
fers nothing to what is assumed to
be the large class of independent
Republicans who might have voted
the ticket had some man not so
glaringly identified with the silver
theory been at its head. That it
will command the united Demo-
cratic support there is no great
doubt, but that it will not attract
anything beyond is equally settled.
Hence it is doomed to overwhelming
defeat, and the only consolation left
the Democrats is, that they will be
able, under this surface harmony.
to Approximately measure the ad-
hesive strength of their effort. IT,
is not an aggressive ticket and will
take nothing from the Republicans,
but will rather serve as induce
ment for them to unite more close
ly on what will be the winning one
by the usual large majority. 1t is
another case of Democratic failure
to grasp an opportunity and profit
by the division of their old time
enemies.

An unpratefuI Cad.

Eyes, said a young man about
town, there are number of fell
lows in good society who never
think of making any return for the
entertainment given them by their
girl friends. You see, they don t
have to. They are in demand be-
cause nice society fellows are so de-
cidedly scarce. A girl has to cud-
gel her brains to think up enough
nice fellows TO fill out an evening
party. That's right.
You see the same names of young
fellows in the society columns time
after time. Well, it's just because
they are the only ones to be had.
And that's the reason they get care
less about returning favors. They
think to themselves, oh, the girls
can't get along without me, and my
presence is sufficient return for all
the favors I receive But they can
rest assured the girls don t think so.
81 know one young fellow who
has been the guest of a certain
Cleveland girl great many times
teas and parties and dinners and all
that sort of thing And one day 1
jokingly said to him, Things seem
to be getting a little confidential for
you at Miss Blanks What do Won
suppose he answered?
" Nonsense, , he said. You have
no cause to say so. 1 never took
her anywhere.

A PERNICIUOs HABIT

THERE have been a number of in
stances recently of fast driving
on our streets. The offenders seem
to be mainly from out of town. Our
alert special policeman has had some
experiences with these violators of
the Borough Ordinance, while in the
performance of his duty and has
very properly attmpted to check all
such infractions, OF course the
horses suffer most generally in this
wanton display of recklessness, but
the wonder is more people are not
injured. Liverymen do not hire
animals for the purpose of hav-
ing them raced and over driven
by foolhardy persons who regard
their own safety with apparent in
difference and look with contempt

Every farmer should have a
small flock of sheep to furnish him
a supply of fresh meat, if no other
purpose. The sheep is not much
more trouble to kill and dress than
chicken. It's flesh is as whole
some as beef. Almost any farmers
family can dispose of a mutton while
it is fresh. The mutton killed on a
farm is better than that bought in
the market and killed after the
worry of shipment and days in a
crowded pen. OF course there are
other values to the farmer in a
flock of sheep, each one of which
would, under ordinary circumstan-
oes, make the sheep a profitable
animal on the farm, but the value
mentioned above is one rarely
mentioned, though it is one that has
an important bearing on the health
and comfort of the family.

The Game at Monte carlo
If Monte Carlo is making millions
it is not due to loaded roulettes or
double zeros or prepared cards
Every player has as much chance
to win as the Banker, and the reason
the individual does not get as veal
thy as the Bank would willingly let
him is because he returns again and
again to the table until every cent is
gone. The bank knows this full
well, that all comes again back into
its safe.
The success is also partly due to
the fact that the owners of the cas-
ino do not play in person against the
gnmblers. If on their side the
gamblers wanted to do the same as
the company and engage agents to
play for them the chances would
then be equal.
Remember, these bankers or
croupiers do not receive one franc
more if they win, neither is a franc
deducted if they lose. Their salary
is an established and unvarying af
fair. Therefore they are indiffer-
ent That indifference breeds cool
ness, does away with all feverish
excitement. If anyone tries to
break the bank, they do not oppose !;
if he succeeds, they send calmly to
the Office for new funds.
These croupiers play like intelli
gent machines, and they win in the
long run, as that kind of man al
ways does, over the impetuous and
excited. The individual gets crazy
with success or melancholy over
loss. He tries every combination
that is suggested to him by friend
or stranger, listens to all advice.
