Pennsy Again Defeated.

First hall, Harvard S, Pennsylvania
o; second half, Harvard II, Pennsyl-
vania, o. Such is the story of Penn
sylvania's downfall on Franklin field,
Philadelphia, Saturday afternoon. 1t
was great game, a great crowd, and
a great surprise. Harvard was to be
beaten, numerically beaten. The
victory was to be complete that the
set backs received at the hands Of the
Indians and Lafayette would be for
ever forgotten. But alas, dissappoint-
ment was again the sturdy Pennsyl-
vanian's lot. Outplayed is very
brief way of putting it, but it fully
explains Pennsy's pitiful performance.
In speaking of the different players
on the Pennsylvania team Sundays
Philadelphia Press has the following
to say concerning the work Of Barnard.
This young man was one Of our Nor
NAL Schools star performers on the
girdiron during the season OF "a and
'o5. His many friends will be pleased
to hear of his success:
Barnard is used because he is un
doubtedly the best man for the place
In practices Friday he has distin
guished himself by kicking goals from
behind the line at will when within {
reasonable distance from the goa
posts. He is equally good at place
kicking or drop kicking. Barnard is
practically sure of every attempt a
goal when within the 35-yard line
and has repeatedly kicked them
greater distance in scrub games which
he has usually managed to win for th'
past two years. He has always beer
a sure, consistent player, always ou
for practice, rain or sunshine, ant
scarcely ever even bruised, conse
quently he is familiar with the dutie
of his position and more competen
for the position than any man VIII
has filed the place since the time c

A Great Invention,

We understand that Mr.. Kenyon,
our townsman, and manager of the
telephone exchange here, has COM
pleted device, and is about to put
into general use, at the proper time.
a system of supplying cool air in the
summer time, whereby all public
buildings, stores and dwellings, can
enjoy the benefit of good supply of
pure, cold air in their rooms in the
hottest part of the summer. This
will be invaluable to everybody, and
what is better, can be supplied at a
low figure. Indeed, for the same
amount it takes now for ice and fans,
that are only used in one or two
rooms, you can have the whole build
ing supplied. No more sleeples'
nights through being so hot. The
system can be so regulated that yor
can have it as cold as you desire.
Mr.. Kenyon has patent pending
and as soon as completed will beglr
te prepare for the comfort and enjoy
ment of everybody using the system.

IT rs not entirely out Of che ques-
tion that Grover CLEVELAND will be
the next Democratic nominee for
President and he will standa pretty
good show for election. Ie is true
Cleveland in the west is q very un.
popular man but Democrats don't
depend much upon the west for
electoral votes. 1t seems to be the
policy of the majority of the leaders
of the Democratic party TO make
the main issue in 1900 anti.expan.
sion. Who is tile logical candidate
of the Democracy on that issuef
Cleveland. He put himself square
ly on record in the Hawaiian affair
years ago. But where would Cleve-
land, so unpopular even in his own
party in some states, get the neces.
sary electoral votesf Well, just
count the south solid for him,
through tho counting machine If
necessary. Then give him New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts, and q few votes In
the central states. The money pow.
er, running it's beloved Cleveland,
can give Massachusetts to him on
the anti.expanslOn issue. lit ia not
improbable that Cleveland, taking
the whele nation into consideration,
is the strongest man in the Demo.
cratic party. The New York Her.
aid, which is probably the ehiet of
ficial organ OF the mOney-power, is,
ripping Mckinley up the back,
wilieh means that the money.power
win likely choose a Democrat for

The Shreveport Cotton Mill.

AS the result of Mr.. Hargrove's
visit to North Carolina and bis in
telIigent observations of the work
ings of cotton factories, move.
ment has been inaugurated in
Shreveport to build a cotton facto-
ry at once. The plan adopted is
to raise 100000 in shares Of 800
each payable S1.00 u week. This
is the noblest form of co-opera-
tion. The Editor of the Bulletin
proposes to take, at least, one share
in the Shreveport cotton mill, rs
an evidence that he favors such
movements in Louisiana. We
propose that the same plan be
adopted in Ouachita parish and we
earnestly invite our cotton plant
ers to 60 into this movement.
Mr.. Hargrove testifies that he
found the cotton mills were pay
ing from 80 to 35 per cent profit.
Why should not our cotton plant
ers combine and realize this profit
for themselves. They can make
their cotton worth from - to Is
cents pound by manufacturing it
into cloth. The cotton planters
of Ouachita can do this without
embarrassment, even if they had
to put in $500 apiece. We say it
would pay, even il they had to
mortgage their lands to raise the
money.
Go to work men ! Here is your
opportunity. God is ready to help
you. The time is auspicious. A
new era is dawning. A new CEN
fury is upon us. Men of Ouachi,
ia, the signal has sounded to move
forward! Take the lead! That is
your natural position. Build a
cotton factory during the year 1899
and gild the edifc Of your fortunes
with . golden glory. Our banks
have got plenty Of money to build
the factory and they will advance
the money ON the planters notes.

manity, we stand here and take

Washington correspondent,

A Washington correspondent
states that q certain Senator's wife
possessed French poodle of which
she was very fond. The poodle
went the way OF all flesh, canine as
we'll as senatorial, and now rests
peacefully in a jeweled coffin in
Washington's dog cemetery. His
eofin cost $4,000; his coat, trim
med with rubies, $4,000; his collar,
$4,000. The other poodle, the one
in the Senate, paid the money, but
you helped to foot the bill. Do you
