LITERARY NOTES.

The Twentieth Century AstroloEcr for
October contains much of interest to
those who are students of the teachings
of the SCIENCE that has of late become a
fad. Among the interesting features of
the issue are the predictions for October
by DIR. L. d. Broughton, who intlmates
that the months of October and Novcm-
Der will be frau6ht with danger for the
members of the royal family of Great
Britain, and states that November cs-
pecially will be trying to the health Of
Queen Victoria.

Professor Powers shows the development
of the policy of Imperialism from the

of the war. He then sets forth the re-
suits which must follow from our APP

final struggle for world domination must
be between the Anglo-Saxon and Slav
races. He also endeaVors to forecast
the result of this struggle. This book

DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT.

Miss Lydia Lyons, white woman,
married Chief Fixico, a Cheyenne Indian,
with the intention of reforming him, and
the result was the usual one. Her hus-
band did not reform. Then the wife com
mitted suicide in de espair. She left note
saying that all efforts to Civilize her nus
band had been unavailing. She had
learned that he had been drunk. Her
years of trial had been useless and she
did not care for life. The experiment of
marrying a man TO reform him generally
ends disastrously. 1t has been tried by
white women with white men, and the
latter are no more amcnable to the treat
ment than was this Indian. If man
won't reform before marriage he is rot
likely to reform afterward

Rapid Progress in
Temperance Reform
From the Philadelphia Press.


CD HE progress of the temperance re-
formation in the United States is
strillingly shown in the fact that
the sumption of Intoxicating
liquors Is dc creasing, not only rel
atiVely to the population, but absolut ely.
That is, in spite of the increase of our pop
ulatiun, the total consumption of liquors
is actually less each year than it was the
year before. 1t is only within the last
four years, however, that this gratifying
statement has been possible. The drink
bill of the United States reached its hign-
est figures in 1898, amounting to a total or
81 l5S3, 900, 0e0 In the following year it sank
to 81 l,372 900 Geo. in 1895 to Sl27S, 900 900, ann
in 1896 to 81, 1876 0OO, 900. For 1897 we have as
yet seen only the figures as to beer. but
this had fallen eff 14O2. .999 barrels, accord
ing to the statements made at the Brew
ers' congress, at Atlantic City, and the
tax paid on beer was Sl3l2,OT less than
in 1896.
Many forces are working together for
the accomplishment of this result besides
the direct efforts of temperance aglta-
tors. One is the instruction which is now
required by law to be given in the pub
lie schools of all the states except four,
as TO the injurious effects of alcohol IN
the human system. Another social force
of the greatest value is the demand by
employers lOr ndDllS OF total abstinence
on the part of their workmen. The great
railroad corporations are fast adopting
this as a settled policy. They find that
they cannot trust the lives and property
of their patrons to the hands of train
crews whose brains are fuddled with al
coholic drink. Other employers in large
numbers are following this wise examplr.
recent investigation by the labor de-
partment at Washington brought out the
fact that of 5000 large employers, ex-
elusive of the railroads, the large ma
iority replied that they make the habits
of employees in this respect matter OF in
quiry and give preference TO those who
do not drink. The intense competition in
trade and manufacturing circles makes
tins precautiOn necessary. American
workingmen will not continue to handi-
cap themselves with habits which tend
more and more TO rule them out of the
labor market.
This is a growing force. which will op-
crate more and more widely as the years
go by.

HARvEY's MISTAKES.

From the Utica Press.
Coin" Harvey, the general manager OF
the National Democratic organization,
proposes that every man who desires to
hasten the day of free silver shall con-
tribute one dollar per month to help It
along. He expresses the opinion that the
opportunity to contribute toward the glo-
rious cause will be eagerly seized by
workingmen in all parts of the country
Harvey will probably live to add this TO
the number of his mistaken notions.

them Keeling down a dark street. Mr..

have his writings commended temperance,
but of that scene he writes: Then, recant-
ing previous opinions, became a Prohibi-
zionist.
Better it is that man should 90
without his beer in public places, and con
tent himself with swearing at the narrow
mindedness of the majority; better il is to
poison the inside with very vile temper

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL,
OPENED WITH VICTORY.


BrattleborO sigh school Won from
IIinsdaIe nigh school. > toO
The eleven of the Brattleboro High
school went to Hinsdale Saturday and
played its first game OF the season, de-
feating the Hinsdale High scuool team, an
aggregation which in reality contains a
number of old-time players, by score of
so.
The playing of the Bratteboro BOYS
showed pretty plainly what sort of team
is being developed. Their interference
was compact, their line was firm, every
man on the team knew the signals and
consequently got into every play, and at
no time during the game did any of the
backs make tumble. Hinsdale, on the
contrary, in spite of her old players, did
not play with the assurance of her oppo-
nents and showed clearly the need of prac-
tlce. There was practically no interfer-
ence for the Hinsdale backs, most of their
gains being made by individual playing.
Brattleboro had the kickoff at the be-
ginning OF the game, and Patch kicked to
Mann, who was downed in his tracks
Hlnsdale then made a number of short
gains through the line, but lost the ball on
downs in about the centre of the field
Stolte and Parkess then made several good
end runs and Patch bucked the line twice
for good distances. At this point Harry
Smith was substituted for Paul Mann
who injured his leg in scrimmage, but
even Smith was not able to stop the Brat
tleboro backs, who continued to make
good gains until Stote was sent through
right guard and tackle for touchdown.
On the kickoff Parkess made short
gain and Patch, Stolte, Whitman and
Monroe followed suit until the ball was
again within 10 yards of Hinsdales line.
where it was lost on downs. Smith. Der.
geron and Doucette endeavored to circle
the ends, but were unsuccessful, and Brat
tleboro had the ball on Hinsdales five
yard line when time was called.
In the second half Parkess returned
Hinsdale's kickoff, thereby gaininga num-
Der of yards. After one or two gains
through the centre by Doucette, X. Nc
Caughern made a run of 80 or 40 yards on
a criss-cross play, being downed by Patch
after he had passed the rest Of the field
The ball remained in al out TIE centre
OF the field during the remainder of the
half
There is little need of commenting upon
the work of the Brattleboro team. Patch,
Monroe, w. Thomas, and Shields, men
who have never been in a regular game
before, played their positions admirably
The other players worked like veterans
from the time the whistle was blown until
time was called in the second half
Blanchard, Hinsdale's 400 pound cen
tire, was the source of much amusement to
the crowd, but of little use to his team
