TWO CENTS
". & ]. AND BUCKNELL
To Play On Date Scheduled
With West Virginia.

Coach front Asked TO be an Official.
No Official Notice That the Game Is
Cancelled Pennsylvania State Fame
0fr-May be Played the 2lst--Mar-
tin Hurt.
There may be no game this year
between West Virginia and Wash
ington and Jefferson. This an
nouncement comes like a thunder
bolt, and causes CONSERVATION, not
to mention ''cussing', among the
the fans here. And there will be no
game with Pennsylvania State in
Pittsburg Saturday. This Is also a
disappointment, but not such a
crushing one as the first.
w. d j., of course, has sent no
official announcement of the cancel
lation of the game. They are not
square enough to do that. Their
plan seems TO have been to allow
West Virginia to find it out the
best way they could. Coach Trout
is in receipt of letter from Buck
nell, in which he is asked to officiate
in a game between that eleven and
w. d. j. on November 81. That is
the date mentioned in the contract
for a game between w. d. j. and W.
v. u.
It was published in Bucknell
paper some weeks ago that Bucknell
and w. g. j. would play on the 21st,
and while the news caused a little
excitement here at the time, no one
believed it to be true.
What W. Il j. means by deliber-
ately contracting with two teams for
the same day is more than honest
folks can understand.
Manager Stout is in receipt of a
telegram this morning from w. d j.
in which 1t is stated that the game
with West Virginia will be played
en- the Dist. DO they mean to play
both games? Or is Bucknell to be
turned down? West Virginia will
expect to meet the w. d j. varsity
on that date.
The State College game at Pitts
burg has been called off. The Var
sity is in poor shape, and State
College is not anxious to play.
State has offered w. d j. game at
Pittsburg Nov. 81, or on Thanks
giving. w. d j. cannot accept the
21st, on account of the Bucknell
game, and in that event, West Vir-
ginia and State will probably meet
in Pittsburg on the date set for the
w. & j. game. The big excursion
planned for Washington will go to
Plttsburg.
A fast practice was held on the
Athletic feld yesterday afternoon.
The scrubs and Varsity were lined
up, and the struggle was fine. Post
and Williams played against each
other at guard, and Waugh and Core
against each other at tackle. The
Varsity scored several touchdowns
by straight foot ball, but the scrubs
were able to carry the ball over re-
peatedly from the five yard line.
Martin is out Of the game for a
week or two, and probably for the
rest of the season. He was tackled
by Ford Tuesday, and his ankle was
so badly sprained that he could
scarcely walk yesterday. The mem

NEWS OF THE WEEK CONCISELY
CONDENSED.
Farmers Are JubiIant Over Tobacco
Crop PrOspects-Lake Crew Fights
Fierce Ga1e-Te1ephone Inform alton
Causes Run on Bank-Minor News.

The prospects for a good tobacco crop
were never better. The transplanting
from the hotbeds to the fields is now
completed, and the cool weather that has
prevailed for the most part thus far this
season has been very good for the to-
bacco raiser, in that the young plants
have not been wilted by the hot suns, as
is sometimes the case, in spite of diligent
watchfulness and care. Frequent show
ers have on the other hand aided them
materially. The growers are jubilant over
the prospects of good prices for their pro-
duct this fall, on account of the failure
sure to come in the East. While they
sympathize with their Eastern brethren,
they realize that the failure on account
of drought, when the transplanting sea-
son was on in the East, cannot help but
reduce the output of the farms and thus
raise the price. The cutworms are scarce
SO far this year, and the growers are get
ting to know how to handle them better
when they do appear, by covering the
tender plants at night with cabbage or
other vegetable the worm likes, after first
dipping it into a weak solution of paris
green.

The doctor is Of opinion that the
woman was never conscious of what
was going on around her, but Profess
sor Voisin, Of the Salpetriere, thought
that at times she heard vaguely what
was being said to her. Throughout the
whole 20 years sleep her respiration
remained perfectly normal though
her temperature was little above
the ordinary.
About five months ago the doctors
saw signs of returning consciousness,
and renewed their efforts to revive
her. For the first time yesterday
she opened her eyes and remarked,
"You are pinching me-" She did not
seem to distinctly recognize the mem
bers of her family on awakening, but
was able to answer Eyes" and mo" to
questions that were put to her. She
took her mother to be her sister, and
mentioned her grandmother who died
15 years ago. Her memory went
back to the time when she worked in
a sugar factory in the village.
When she fell asleep she was %
years of age. During the whole Of
the time since then she had been arti-
ficially fed. She began, however,
to show signs of consumption and
wasted away to a skeleton. Doctors
from all parts of the world visited
Thenolles to see the sleeper, and the
case was declared to be absolutely
without precedent in medical scienre e.

BREAKING THE ICE.

We had some offish ne1ghbors once
that moved in down the road.
We reckoned they was bout the proud
est folks we'd ever knowed
An when we passed 'em now an then
we held our heads up high
To make dead sure they couldn't snub
us if they was to try.
It really made me nervous, so | jes-
braced up one day
An thought I'd go ahead an show my
manners anyway.
On Sunday, std O. turning round an
gazing at the view,
looked at them an says, ''Hello!"
An they says, "Howdy dol"
It want the cold an formal greetin'
that you've sometimes heard;
They smiled and said it hearty, like
they meant it every word.
It's solemn to reflect on what we miss
along life's way
BY not jes' being natural an good
humored day by day.
There's lots of folks who fling, the
simple joys of life aside.
Because they dread the shadow Of their
own unconscious pride.
And nine times out O. ten you'll find
the rule works right and true
Jes' tell the world ''Hello!" and it'll
answer "Howdy do"

Slow Old Coaches.

Like all things old compared with
all things new, the pace of the old
newspapers was slow. Frank B. San
born, writing in the Bookman, recalls
some Of the ancient ieSts about the
Boston press half a century ago.
1t used to be asked why one Of the
leading New England papers was like
a poor mans plaster. And the face
tious answer was, Because it's good
for week back"
A veteran newspaper man once said
to fellow clubman:
''That happened on Saturday; re-
member it becauselon that day my son
Charles was born"
mo" said his friend. Your son
Charles was born ON Wednesday, but
you didn't find it out till Saturday"

Revolving Fans.

I noticed something new in electric
fans yesterday, and it struck me as OF
sufficient novelty to mention here. You
know that heretofore the Withdrawing
contrivance has occupied fixed posi-
ton, with the current always propelled
in one direction. Now this has been
improved upon, with sort of rudder
attachment projecting from the fan
in front. The fan itself is on a pivot.
AS the current strikes the rudder fin
il causes the whole thing to revolve
slowly, thus distributing the air cur.
rent in all directions with each revolu.
ton. AS all-round wind TANNERS, how.
ever, l know some fellows who would
talk a revolving fan back the way
it came, but perhaps l had better not
go into that-Pittsburg Dispatch.

SKYSCRAPERS AND NERVES.
How Very Tall Buildings Injuriously
Affect Some Persons.

| When it comes to facilities for in.
creasing the army of nervous people
it is mistake to give the palm to the
electric trolley car, the automobile or
the elevated trains. The skyscrapers
building of the big cities is a close COM
petitOr Of all these in the manufacture
Of nervous wrecks.
Not one woman in hundred can step
into a sWift-fying elevator and be
''shot'' up to the tenth story Of a sky
scraper without feeling of "gone-
| ness" III the region of the heart, which,
in the case Of many delicately organ
lied woman, approaches very closely to
a nervous collapse. 1t must not be
imagined, either, that the shooting up
and down in these steel cages day af-
ter day has no effect upon the nerves
Of men. They become accustomed to
the sensation of being dropped from
the fifteenth story to the basement.
Their heart action is proof against it's
wear and tear, but their nerves are not.
There is gradual, unconscious
breaking down Of the nervous system.
1t is not the elevator alone that is re-
spoEsible for this process of nerve i'm
pairment, although many Of them will
alone suffice to shatter the most robust
organization. That careWorn aspect
Of the cou1ltenance which we some
times humorously refer to as the ''ele-
vator face is the result of the con-
slant hammefing of the nervous sys-
tenn by the daily trips up to the office
and down again, waiting for the eleya-
tor to get filled before it starts, trying
to stop it OF it's downward fight at
your floor. If You ore il hurry to
keep an appointment the elevator is
certain to pass your floor without stop
ping.
This is the daily experience which
skaters or eXhausts the nerve force. 1t
is the struggle to reach the office after
AMMAN has ridden an hour on the troll
ley car or steam car to get to the sky
scraper in which the Office is located
that saps the nerve vitality. It is easy
to predict the increasing popularity Of
the low office building. The skyscraper
will have its day. 1t will always be
populated for the reason that the
steady stream of newcomers will al
ways replenish the supply for the tow
ering eyries, but the demand for the
lower and more accessible offices will
grow stronger and the premium they
command over the offices in the tall
structures will increase as men grow
in knowledge and xperience.-What

SLEPT TWENTY YEARS.
Woman Wakes From Long Trance to

Marguerite Boz enval, "the sleeping
woman of Theno lies" died this morn

years. On May Fl, 1883, she was
thrown into a cataleptic sleep through
fear of visit from the police, and it

Sea E!enhant Hide.

A New England sea captain named
Cleveland has created a sensation by
bringing home few hides of the sea
elephant. a giant seal thus far hunted
for oil alone The hides are said to be
more flexible and tougher than those
Of cattle, and a process has been In
vented which produces from them a
grade of leather superior to anything
hitherto known. The elephants have
increased rapidly in numbers during
the last score of years on account Of
their comparative Immunity from
slaughter. Capt. Clevcland's ship is
the first vessel to sail after sea ele-
plant hides, and a. present she is the
only vessel after the seals for any rea-
son whatever.

Milwaukee Beats Chicago.

Milwaukee maintains its lead of Chi
cago as marine commercial center. This
fact is shown by the figures given out by
the custom house authorities for the
months from January to May, 1902 and
1908. The phenomenal increase in the
tonnage of the Milwaukee port is attrib-
uted to the increase in the amount of
coal which was received in Milwaukee
this year over that received last year.
The scarcity of coal made difference in
the tonnage of 100000 tons. The fact
that in Chicago there is some difficulty
in crossing the Washington and LaSalle
street tunnels is also pointed to as sig
nifcant in the falling off of the Chicago
tonnage. The tonnage of Milwaukee
harbor between January and May, 1902,
was 2,407, 179, while during the last sew
eral months it has been 3, 131 200.

Captain Daniel Wall and the crew OF
fourteen men on the steamer l. Watson
Stephenson of Marinette had a terrific
fight for life in Lake Michigan, off the
Kenosha harbor. For five hours the men
contested with the angry seas. The wind
blew at rate Of sixty-fve miles an hour.
Five feet of water settled in the hold OF
the steamer, and the engines becoming
disabled it was left to drift at the mercy
of the breakers. Just as the day was
breaking the boat seemed to have drifted
into the harbor, and the men, all but ex-
hausted, were taken to houses near by
and cared for, after which the boat pro-
ceeded to Chicago.

Old Slang Revived.

The greatest eXcuSe-almOSt the only
excuse-for slang is the humor of some
OF the best phrases, and just as no
joke is altogether new in these days,
SO many slang phrases that we think
are of late manufacture have ancient
prototypes.
One piece of modern slang Is the
phrase, ito feel like thirty cents" For
some unaccountable reason, twenty
five cents" or fifty cents" is not funny,
whereas thirty, perhaps from the very
insignificance of it's distinction from
twenty-five, is drol, and caught the
public fancy.
In book of stories about Americans,
published in Boston in 1880, is this
story, the point Of which will be under
stood If it be borne in mind that the
silver coins in common use in this
country were Spanish, to which Eng
lish value names were given. In New

,Phnne Cansea Run.

The Farmers and Mechanics Bank of
Bangor was recently placed il the hands
of the State bank examiner. Its failure
is ascribed to the curiosity of the patrons
of a local telephone company. A short
time ago a stakeholder visited the bank
and the fact that he was looking over the
books was telephoned to some party in
tereated. The telephone message was
sent over ''neighborhood" line, and it
happened that everybody on the line was
listening. AS result there was run
on the bank which it was unable to with
stand
