The gentleman answered In this way;
"No, have not got a hundred good men

Football and Casualties.

A summary of the casualties OF the
football season Just closed shows that
there were fifteen deaths and 112 per-
sons seriously injured-all this to make
collegiate holiday season.
When all Is said that can be in fa-
vor OF the manly qualities of the sport
and the impetus 1t has given to college
athletics, which, II Is freely admitted,
has been of great service In developing
the physical side of the college student,
the fact remains that the price paid
for the benefits conferred Is too high.
II may require blood to develop n
healthful and vigorous youth and
strenuous nation, but at least an effort
should be made to reduce the tale of
blood to the lowest possible limit.
No professional sport with such
record of deaths and injuries would
be tolerated The salvation of football
hitherto has been that II Ii an amateur
game, where honor and not money is
the reward. But, with all the fine quail
tiles II possesses. II cannot endure with
many more such records as have been
made this year. Public opinion will
revolt against the sacrifices II requires
unless some means can be found of
making 1t less dangerous. For the sake
OF preserving the sport. If for no other
reason, football enthusiasts must de-
wise some radical reforms In the con
duct OF the game.

HIS VIEWS ON FOOTBALL.

Our respected friend. Mr.. p. H. Hartwell,
the sage of Alexauken, spent his Thanks
giving visiting the family of Richard II.
Hughes at Long Branch Mr. Hughes was
a friend of his early youth. During his
stay he was induced by one of the sons
a young Princeton University student to
attend football game TO be held in a
nearby town. and the following interesting
experience is related by him In his letter
to the Hopewel Herald;
During the evening the subject of foot
ball was discussed and when we stated
that we did not approve OF dangerous and
brutal games of that kind. the boys main
tanned that we were prejudiced, and said
that II we would attend game In near
by town on the morrow we would see a
good game conducted on scientific princi-
pies. Well, as the family wished to at
tend, of course we went along / know
very well that I had no business to- be
there but / was, and / am now moro
firmly grounded in my opinion of the game
than | was before. We shall not attempt
to describe the game, as probably 1t was
like other games that are played in almost
every neighborhood and would take up
space that could be more profitably filled
with advertisements or news. We don't
know whether II Is customary or not, but
we noticed n large bottle slyly circulated
but you know 1t might have contained
arnica instead of whiskey. At the close
of the game we remarked to a man by
our side that the 90 ne seemed to us much
like fighting. He replied that there were
but seven fights during the game. There
were several knocked out and carried or
assisted off the ground. There were many
limping around, and we thought the
sooner they got home the better 1t would
be for them. We were informed that one
man was badly injured In the spine by be-
Ing kicked In the back. This kind of sport
may be noble and elevating and moral. but
II II Is so, then in my judgment bull bait
ing. prize fighting and cock fighting would
be proper entertainment for Sunday
school children"

Candlesticks are decorative, utllltari-

A pair Of highly polished brass can

Continuance OF Coal Famine.

Under headlines like these, 4'Poor
Struggling For Coal" "All Day
Crowds Besiege Many East Side
Yards" "Crisis of Cold and Hunger"
MOB Violence Feared" the New York
papers tell of scenes enacted In and
hbout the coalyards of that city dur
ing the cold snap few days ago
which We're unique In the history Of
New York. One big yard ON the east
side was besleged by people seeking
small quantities of coal from early
o'clock In the afternoon there was
line OF women and children two blocks
long awaiting their turn to buy Il
ticket good for little pail of coal. The
police had to be called to keep the
crowds In order ut many yards, THE
situation is desperate" said police
man on guard at one of the yards. ''If
we have another cold snap before
more coal comes TO the market,
would not be surprised to see rioting,"
Fortunately the weather moderated,
and the immediate crisis was passed
without serious disorder, though num-
Der of arrests were made.
Speaking of the incident, the presi-
dent OF the New York Association For
Improving the Condition of the Poor
says:
The condition which exists Is not a
problem OF charity, but one Of business.
We have had fewer demands for aid this
winter than ever before. The whole ques-
ton In. How can the people. who have
money and are willing TO pay for 1t. get
the coal? The poor are not asking for
help. They are earning their wages.
They are able to buy coal. but II they are
not supplied they are apt to be attacked
with sickness. and then they will need
help. The situation is most serious. and
II Is imperative that something of this
kind should be done.
The conditions existing In New York
are not exceptional, but prevail In a
greater or less degree In all the large
cities which place main dependence
for fuel on hard coal. Although six
weeks have passed since the mining
of anthracite was resumed, with Il
promise OF the operators that the out
put should be sufficient TO wholly re-
lieve the stringcncy and place ON the
markets all the fuel that everybody
would need, there now appears almost
as much LANCER of midwlnter coal
famine as there was in the late au-
tumn. III mining has been prosecuted
on scale which the public has been
led to believe, where Is the coal? Why
10 II not In the markets? With the
mercury In the neighborhood of the
zero mark. the people want coal and
want 1t badly. They have the money
and are willing to pay for 1t even Mt
a price In excess of that promised by
the coal producers. 1t might be peril
nent for the arbitration commission fin
connection with the task 1t has al
ready In hand or some other body of
equally competent jurisdiction to In
stitute an inquiry why there should
still exist coal shortage amounting
in many sections of the country to an
actual coal famine six weeks after re-
sumption of production In promised
abundance.

In spite Of the fact that the word dys-

be fair for many to lay the blame on the

tress or nausea. 1t may not be fair for
any to do that-let us hope so for the sake
of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indi-
