The favorite Scottish method Of deals
ing with sleepers in chasch was pub
licly to denounce the deliaquents. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the Rev. Walter Dunlap. min
lister of United Presbyterian church
in Dumfries. saw member of his flock
nodding while he was preaching. he
stopped suddenly and said:
Il doot some O ye hae taen over
mony whey porridge the day. Sit up-

heads, my friends. and mind that nei-
ther saints nor sinners are sleeping IN

Then. finding that this general exc
hortafion was insufficient to deter q
certain well known member OF the
church from getting his nights rest
forward. the reverend gentleman turn
ed toward the offender and said:
James Stewart. this is the second
time aave stopped to waken ye. If I
need to stop a third time. I'll expose ye
by name to the whole congregation"

SUICIDE CLUBS.

Every now and then we see it stated
in the newspapers that Suicide Club
has been formed in this community or
that. The latest report of the kind is
from Atlantic City. in which it is
stated that Suicide Club has been
organized in that city by man from
Newark, named Bragie. It is report
ed that he will organize similar organ
izations in various parts Of the State.
The local society has thirty-four mem
bers and over 100 applications for
membership have been received and
will be acted upon at the regular
meeting. The bylaws declare that
once each year the members shall as
semble at the place of meeting and
each member draw one bean from a
Jar. He who receives the black bean
must. between the time Of drawing
and the next yearly meeting commit
suicide. A sum of money, it is said.
will be set aside to defray the funeral
expenses of each departed member.
Is it possible that the authorities Of
Atlantic City or any other city would
permit such a club to exist? When by
lot or otherwise, it is determined that
some member of the club shall take
his own life within given period of
time, is not this equivalent to SEN
fencing man to death ? 1t is not
equivalent to murder? 1t seems TO us
to be the very worst form Of murder,
for it compels man to murder him
self. Such clubs have no place in our
modern civilization, and they are not
to be tolertaed-Richmond Times.

PRINCETON FALLS BEFORE Yale.
Old Time Football Played by Both
Teams.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 16.-Yale
defeated Princeton in the annual foot
ball contest at Yale field this after
noon by score of 12 to 0. The score,
according to the experts who witness
ed the game, represents accurately the
superiority of the Sons of Eli over
the Tigers of old Nassau. Aside from
the general excellence of the Yale
team the feature of the play was to be
found in the absence of unfair tactics.
Probably no game has ever been
played on the Yale field where there
was less of roughing, singing and
off-side play, During the game, last.
ing nearly two hours, including the
intermission and the time taken out
by delays resulting from injuries, but
two penalties we're imposed, the rival
teams being equally guilty. In the
first half Princeton was the offender
and Yale was awarded 10 yards Of dis
tance. In the second half Yale's anx-
iety cost ber some distance and honors
were even. On two occasions, play
ers were warned by the umpire fol-
tactics unnecessarily rough, but on
these occasions as in the instances Of
off-side play the dishonors were even
and Princeton and Yale were alike
guilty once each.

PROVIDENCE GUARDED BY MILITIA.
Battles Between the Coal Miners
Cause Militia to be Called.

Madisonville, Ky. Nov. 19.-The
man who was killed in the battle at
Providence Sunday morning, Garrett
Givens. was negro who lived here.
Bud Couch, mortally wounded, is
also a negro and both were union men
in the attacking party. Three of the
wounded were negro non-unlon men,
who were guarding the mine. There
is report today that two wounded
men we're taken to Morgantown and
one to Sabree and that they are all
dead, having been shot while attack
ing the mines.
This report lacks verifcation, though
it is believed that the men who made
the attack suffered heavily from the
fight.
In the battle of yesterday morning
at least 1000 shots were fired while IN
the battle of week ago half that
number were fred. Early this morn
ing a portion of the Madisonville com
pany and some of the Hopkinsville
company went to Providence, under
the command of Capt Thomas. The
town is now under guard by the sol
diers. A deplorable state of affairs
exists not only at Providence. but al
over Hopkins county and at Empire in
Christian county. More troops are
expected.
County Judge Hall and Sheriff Sut-
ton are both at Providence and under
their directions part of the soldiers
on duty there are securing the country
in an effort to discover members Of the
union party who engaged in yester-
DAYS battle.
It is said the authorities have Sc
cured valuable information bearing on
the attack and warrants have been
issued for alleged participants in the
fighting. Additional troops will prob
ably be sent to this county Immediate
ly.
One of the mines of the Providence
Coal company is running, but the
large mine on which the attack was
made is idle, due to the disorganizeo
force, and the killing of SO many
mules during yesterdays shooting.
1t is said the st. Bernard and Other
coal companies of Hopkins county have
decided to take out foreign charters
in order to get protection in the Uni
ted States court.
The union officials here disclain
responsibility for the attack and say
that the men who were implicated II
Yesterdays affair acted on their owr
responsibility. Orders were issued by
President Wood to the strikers in caml
here to break camp at once and ioir
the strikers in camp at Nortonville
It is believed the camp here will be
broken up today.

France Getting Cur Coin High
est 0ne-day Shipment on Record

e 6; New York, Nov. 1S.-A new high
record for gold engagements to Europe
from the port was established today
when gold to the amount Of S7.0S2, ISL
was taken from the assay Office for
shipment in the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, which leaves to-
morrow. The gold was ordered in the
regular course Of business and accord
ing to report all but 81, 600, 600, which
goes to BeIin, will be sent to Paris,
the steamship dropping the greater
part at Cherbourg. The shipments
were made possible By the high rate
of exchange, and it was figured today
that unless a rapid change of rates
occurs, fully s25, 100000 more will
follow.
The shippers and amounts follow:
Lazard Freres, 81, 56S, 109: Heidel-
bach, Ickleheimer & Company,

tude on the part of marine under

time, even with safe and modern ocean
going vessels it was the custom of un-
derwriting companies not to risk more
than about 81, COO, 900 in any one " bot
tom.
All the gold going out tomorrow
will be in the form of bars. The pack
ing OF this vast amount of gold was
done at the assay Office today and was
not completed until late hour. The
81, 600, 600 gold to Germany two
thirds of the shipment of Heidelbach.
Ickelhiemer & Company was packed
in oblong boxes. The remainder was
put into brand new oak kegs
which were strongly bounud with iron
hoops and carefully sealed top and
bottom.
To Offset the heavy gold exports
there were unusuallyalarge tenders of
government bonds for redemption at
the sub-treasury. One house turned
in /, eS5. 600 of the AS of 1925, for
which 50, 3344S, 3344S 521 was paid out, and

chopin ON Piano Fingering.

This is from 6. fragment of piano dI-
yering left by Chopin: No one notices
inequality in the power of the notes OF
a scale when it is played very fast and
equally as regards time. In good
mechanism the aim is not to play ey-
erything with an equal sound. but to
acquire 4 beautiful quality Of touci'
and a perfect shading.
For long time players Lave acted
against nature in seeking to give equal
power to each finger. On the contrary.
each finger should have an appropriate
part assigned it. The thulnl, has the
greatest power, being the thickest fin
ger and the freest. Then comes the lit
tie finger. at the other extremity of the
hand. The middle finger is the main
support of the hand and is assisted by
the first Finally comes the third. the
weakest one.
