Success.

Leicester, Nov. "a change in schedule

the seif-evident fact that they will have
to work later In the day in order to put

minute time between Leicester and Wor-
cester will be the rule, except at busy
hours. At present tWenty-minute time is
run between Leicester and Worcester all
day.
The men who run the Leicester cars
during the day see that they can no
longer get ten hours work in twelve
ings. A late car will leave Worcester for
Spencer at IL. 20 to accommodate Spencer

The threatening weather rather inter-

TODAY's FOOT BALL.
Two Good Games Will Be
Played on Local
Gridirons.

Nearly every foot ball gridiron in
Worcester will be the scene of a con
test today. Three school teams vii
play. and two of the strongest unat-
tached elevens win also contest for
touchdowns.
Holy Cross and Tufts will give a
royal battle, and Worcester academy
and Brown freshmen will contest for
supremacy. The Highland Military
academy team VIII play Westboro high
at the academy grounds and the
Washburn & Moen eleven will play the
Bradfords at Sutton lane grounds.
Neither Worcester Tech or Worcester
high has a game on for today. The
Tech team had a contest at Amherst
with the Agricultural college team, but
the game has been postponed a week
at the request of the Tech eleven. High
school had a match with Williston
academy, but it has been Cancelled.
There will be several changes in the
Holy Cross team from any lineup seen
this year, partly on account of injuries
and partly because new players have
come out lately. A big change will
be noticed in the academy eleven at
fullbaek. Capt Norris will not be able
to play today. Keline will probably
take his place. Dignowity may be
used, but the chances are in favor of
Keline. Norris wrenched shoulder has
not improved sufficiently TO allow him
to play. If the game was the last of
the season, he would undoubtedly risk
it. but he desires to take part in the
contest with Yale freshmen, a week
hence, and will stay out of today S
game to avoid possibility of further in
jury.
The team practiced with Keline, back
Of the line, last evening. He was
given good practice, and, although it
has not been customary to line up on
the day previous to a contest, the reg

After passing Elm street, Henenssey

at Sever street. Everybody expected a
hot race, but Perry was tired.
Dixon went on and won by a few

managed to beat Carpenter who

Available Testimony

A story told b. Major Menzies Is
being circulated through the offices
in the State House, of a Nincennes
lawyer who appeared for the defend
ant in trial by jury and put on the
witness stand a boy from whose testi-
mony he expected to gain a great
deal. To the confusion of the attor-
ney, the story told by the boy was
greatly to the detriment of the de-
PENDANT, and the attorney set to work
to show that the boy was worthless.
"What is your occupation" he
asked the boy.
81 work on my fathers farm" the
witness replied.
"You don't do much but sit around,
do you?"
''Well, l help my father"
"But you are worthless, aren't
you?" was the attorneys decisive
question.
81 don't know whether | am OIL
not" retorted the witness warmly.
Then the attorney took another
tack. "Your fathers a worthless
man, isn't he?"
"Well, he works about the farm.
The attorney here fastened an ey,
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with glanc,
from the other and said:
'Isn't it true that your father
doesn't do enough work to prevent
his being called worthless
The boy had chafed under these
unpleasant questions, and, summon
ing his courage, he said londly, "It
you want to know so bad whether my
fathers worthless, ask him: there h,
is, on the jury"

The Virgil, Ia Rolls.

Mr.. Lamb and Mr.. Hay both have
introduced bills in the United States
House of Representatives seeking to
secure for Virginia the privilege of
copying her muster-rolls, now on file
in the War Department.
We are glad to see their zeal in
this matter. 1t is quite possible that
the President and Secretary of War
could of their own motion relax the
"rule" of the department, which is in
our pathway; but the steps taken by
our congressman will elicit full in
formation upon this subject. and We
believe will be successful.
All that Virginia wishes is the
privilege of copying her own rolls.
This she can do at a cost of about
$4,000. whereas the departmental
prices for certified copies would be
about $4,000. Whether it would be
better for us to make copies by pho
Biography, or by the use of typewrit-
ing machines, or by hand. is matter
for discussion after the government 5
permit has been given. But we feel
sure the permit will be granted.
Mr.. Mckinley and his friends, who
have thought the moment opportune
to say such nice things about our he
roic dead and the loyalty of the
South In the war just closed, cannot
refuse the privilege of placing in the
States archives the roster of the liv-
ing aud dead who represented Nir
ginia in the Confederate army.
Ii NAV be said that if the govern
ment should give its consent to Nir-
giuia II could not refuse to other
States like privilege We suppose
not; but there are only few States
that have not already compiled their
war records. and the Federal Govern
ment would better AID them in that
work than throw obstacles in their
way.
For Virginia to have copies of the
hundreds of rolls that are now
among the captured archives of the.
Confederate Government in Wash
ington would be for her to possess
treasury Of information interesting
TO near ' every man, woman and child
I'm this State. She has no other State
papers comparable in value to these.

congressman have undertaken

NENTILATING POULTRY HOUSES
Chicken "cranks" in a great many
cases are generally very enthusiastic
over the matter of ventilating the
houses in which poultry are kept, and
many are the schemes practiced in
order TO accomplish this end. Ven
tilation is an excellent thing. though
| believe that on the majority Of
farms, and especially at this season
of the year, little more attention
should be paid in trying to determine
how not to ventilate. And this not
only applies to the poultry house but
also to the barns. Give. this matter
your time from now on till spring,
for without doubt there has heen
far more birds killed by the over
ventilation than the under ventila
ton. During the colder months it
is almost impossible to have chick
en- house too warm, and all the fresh
air the birds will need is moro than
likely to find its way into the house
in some shape OF manner.-Weekly
Witness.
