The State Normal School football
eleven scored triumph for the fifth and
last time this season by defeating the
Keyser CIV. Val High School team at
the Driving Park Friday afternoon of
last week.
PRELIMINARY.
The JOURNAL was able to give only the
score last week but the contest elected
so much interest that it has secured a
detailed account. The boys argue that
this achievement eliminates in a Won
derful record, and that the performance
is still more remarkable to the eye of an
expert for the reason that the team has
not only defeated all its rivals, but pre-
vented them from scoring, and at the
same time running up high scores. No
pluck, no grit, no weight could stand for
a minute against Normal School attacks.
rection that it kept the Schools own
players busy. They We're simple enough
to be dangerous, but at the same time
they proved gamers and goal
getters. During all the games no one
man was used enough to become ex-
hausted, while every man was utilized
sufficiently to bring out every pound on
the eleven.
The accompanying cut is good one.

Sudden Death.

Theodore A. Miller, of this place, died
suddenly Tuesday evening, December ,,
1902. He had been about town all day
and though complaining, no apprehen-
sions We're felt. He had returned home
about s O'Clock and while walking on
the porch fell and instantly expired.
Mr.. Miller was born i'll Winchester,
Va, january /, 1916, and was therefore
nearing the close of his 51th year. At II
he removed to Cumberland later to this
place and married Miss Catharine
Smeltz. BY trade he was pattern
maker, as such an employee of the late
Thomas II. Paul for many years. With
considerable native bent toward miner
alogy, he had "prospected' a large
territory.
Besides Mrs. Miller daughter, Miss
Mollie, of this place, and son, William
H., of Meyersdale, Pa, survive.
\ man of somewhat morbid temp, IA
ment, and physically troubled, he latter
ly gave expression to suspicious which
should not have been entertained by
anyone. The result was coroncr's i'll
quest, autopsy, etc. The surgeons re-
ported death due to heart failure SUI
perlnduced by an attack of acute indi-
gestion." Drs. DeNaouley and McIane
made the autopsy.
After hearing all the hearsay testi-
mony the jury found according to the
surgeons report, and i'll conclusion
adopted the following resolution:
RcSo'"cd That it is the opinion of this
jury that the holding of an inquest on the
body of Theodore \. Miller was an unneces-
sary expense imposed on the County, and
we believe the jury would not have been
called but for the idle talk and unwarranted
reports circulated throughout the cummu-
nifty Orro HoHING, Foreman.

due to his coaching of the team-his adj
vice and management, that the team has
accomplished such wonderful results on
the gridiron.
Normal has played five games scoring

The team weight average is 1;S

SNAP SHOTS.
About 500 people made the Driving
Park Echo with wild enthusiasm Friday.
Flags, banners and streamers attested
Frostburg's unbounded loyalty to the
Normal School boys.
Outside the enclosure people marched
up and down in restless anxiety.
Away in front of them, enclosed by
ropes, was the green-turfed battle field.
The Normal's favorite mascot a
"black setter" was led about by a
Normal rooter.
AS the time came for play to begin
the crowd was in an exuberant condition
of excitement.
Keyer's boast was stronger by far
than Keyser's team, for never for an i'll
stance was Keyser in it.
Keyser was never allowed to get the
Ion ,,aorar tl,,o vnrI lima
and this was in the last II seconds of the
last half.
Say, "Keyser, don't you want to buy Il
dog"
To comment deliberately and deserved
ly upon the individual Normal School
players would extend this jubilant essay
far beyond the busy readers time and
study.
1t is enough to say, therefore, that all
the boys played consummate ball, reach
ing up to and over the fond expectations
of their multitudinous admirers.
The defense put up by Lindsay, Brown,
Yungerman and Hardigan was perfec-
that Keyser did not make any gains
when they had the ball.
The Bartholomew boys-Eugene and
Chauncey, made four touchdowns, each
two.
Jeffries and Hitchins made some long
runs, and Lammert did some fine tack
ling.
The last slamed distinguished himself
also by kicking 6 goals out of I, made
one touchdown, bucked the line hard
and often, and put up ii classic inter
ference.
The eleven from Keyser We're far
heavier than the Normal boys, having
one man on the team weighing 22S pounds,
several over 1870 pounds; i'll fact their
lightest man was heavier than the
Normal's heaviest.

"The newest profession for women
is. that of charity worker" re-
marked a prominent club woman late
~, according to the Philadelphia Rec
ord. "You needn't laugh. There really
is such u profession, and it is new,
and if 1 were a young woman would
enter into training for it. There is
not much competition as yet, and the
opportunities for studying charity
work are limited, but still it is now
possible.
''New York has established train.
ing school for charity workers, and it
is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service
at visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phrases of the leadership,
and then there are courses Of sub
jects. 1t is quite worth entering from
a financial standpoint, also. Philadel-
phia is proverbially conservative, and
yet we pay the young woman at the
head of our our organizing charities
the salary of $4,000, and she can great
ly supplement it by lecturing and
literary work upon the subject of her
profession.

in a methodical manner by an expert,

A Fossil quarry.

One of the most unique quarries
in the world exists near the town
OF Kemmerer, Wyo., at an elevation
of $500 feet above sea level. This
quarry is worked by hand, no blast
ing being permitted owing to- the
fragile nature of its output. The
latter consists solely of fossils, nest
ly those of a few varieties of fish.
In operation the shale is split i..to
slabs, broken with sledge hammers
and thrown over the bank by hand.
When the slabs containing the speci-
mems are cut and taken out they are
very moist and have to be dried out
to about one-third of their original
weight. After the drying has pro-
ceeded far enough to permit of the
easy manipulation of the material,
the fossils are carefully cleaned by
means of special tools devised for
the purpose. Many of these fish fcs-
sis are exceedingly beautiful, every
bone being plainly shown in the out

QuestfGn Of Admitting Colorcd Clubs
Must BE Decided ut the Los An-

During the nearly two years that
have INTERVIEWED since Mrs. Josephine
Ruffin, president of the. Woman's Era
club OF Boston, attempted to open
the doors of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs to colored women the
racial question has been burning one
in that organization.
As will be remembered, the Woman's
Era club was admitted by Mrs. Lowe,
the president of the general fedora
tion, who did not know it was q club
of colored women, although the con-
stitution forwarded with the applica-
ton for membership clearly implied
that fact. Mrs. RuftiD came to the BIZ
ennial at Milwaukee two years ago
expecting to be received as delegate,
but her necessary credentials were re-
fused by order of the executive board.
This question of admitting clubs
composed of colored women has since
become an issue in the general fed
GRAFTON, and is the principal, theme of
discussion in nearly every one of the
81 state declarations of that body as
we'll as of the individual clubs.
Mrs. Ruffin will be at the Los An
geles biennial in May as a representa-
tive of the Northeastern Fedora tion,of
Colored Women, which voted at meet
ing held in Springfield, Mass, last sum-
mer, to pay her expenses for this pur-
pose. She cannot be delegate, but is
entitled to seat among the club wom-
en-, as the Woman's Era club belongs
to the Massachusetts, Federation.

Mastodon skeleton.

The museum at the University of
North Dakota will within a short time
receive specimen in the form of the
skeleton of a mastodon, which Prof.
Brannan says is the largest one in the
United States at least, and he thinks
It is the largest in the world. The
skeleton was dug up in swamp in
Ontario, Canada, about twenty years
ago and the manner in which it came
into the possession of the University
of North Dakota is very interesting.
