MRS. DOWIE AND HER SON
LEAVE FOR EUROPE
Both Deny That They Were
Leaving Because of DisaP-
proval ofDowie's Methods

New York. Oct 24.-The Dowie meet
ing last night was given over princi-
pally to a farewell to Mrs. Dowie and
her son. who left for Europe today.
Both made addresses appealing to the
audience for better behavior w. deny
Ing that they were leaving on -ccount
OF Their disapproyal Of Dowie methods.
The trip to Europe and Australia, both
declared, had been planned many
months before the New York mission
was finally decided upon.
DR.. Dowie took as the subject Of his
discourse the parable Of the nobleman
who divided the talents among his ser
wants, using it to inustra.e his argu-
ment that even the Lord rewarded the
succesgful business man. He was in
terrupted by the exodus Of about 1906
Of the audience and made no attempt
TO resume his exposition Of the scrip
ture, launching out into a long lauda-
ton of Zion as a place Of residence.
In the course of his address A. J.
Gladstone Dowie denied that $50 mem
bers of the host had deserted and re-
turned home. He declared that only
l12 had gone back TO att,ad the busi'
ness in Zion and that others would take
their places here.

EoorRALL EATALITIEs

A student at an Eastern college died
while playing football the other day.
"Heart troubles the doctors said. A
student az Western college was killed
while engaging in the same sport
-~CoHcIssion N the BRAIN" say the
physicians. One man had no business
engaging ia such violent sport, and the
other accident might have happened to
anyone. with all the modification OF
the rules the scrimmages are dangerous,
and while few are killed. many sustain
accidents that in battle would be re-
garded as serious.
We are not prepared to discuss the
merits of the game. and no matter
what conclusion may be reached by
learned discussion, football has -four
ished despite adverse criticism. Per-
haps it's very danger-the intensity OF
the struggle endears it to young men
with good red blood in their veins. BE
that as it may, parents and college au-
thorities should exercise proper super
vision over the game. Rules OF eligi-
bility have been established, and at a
decent institution no man may have O
place on the team who does not hold
a proper grade in his studies. But Il
should go further. A student should
not be allowed to play either on th'
team or the scrub who has not a ply
sician's permission 20 do so. This per
mission should be given only after I
thorough examination, and these shouls
be made frequently Soldiers are Sc
lected only after severe tests, and thii
pastime contemplates the seyeres
kind Of warfare.

AUTUMN DAYS.

These are the soul I-ensnaring Autumn

When yellow sunbeams on the slopes
lie spread.
And scarlet pennons fiutter overhead.
Like sober monks the oaks stand. rus
set-stoled.
And as OF old
The maple-mlsers fiaunt their wealth
Of gold.
While crimson sumacs lend a CORY
stain
To stubble fields long harvested OF
grain.
And II were keenest blissfulness to 20
Where asters glow
Adown the coppice aisles used to

When by the ways. dusk-dim as some
dark tomb.
Beacons of goldenrod iiumed the

A sense of sadness with the airs seems

And yet. content.

Employers must not take advantage

Gompers. The sentiment is not bad.
but It has its complement and counter
part. which is: Employees must not take
advantage OF busy times to demand an
increase In wages. And the working
man in insisting on his inalienable right
to quit at any time, must not insist on
the shop being kept open at a loss. Com

cational Institutions. In the pre0ara-
tory schools and colleges It fiourishes
developing every form. It is wonder
ful the JOY there is In a can Of red or
green paint. The disciple of learning
prowlng in the dark. brush in hand,
painting numerals on college buildings
is an every night occurrence. Yet he
engages in the pastime with all the en-.
thusiasm which usually attaches to an
original conception. The other morn
ing Philadelphia awoke to see her
beautiful High School building a verit-
able palace devoted TO public educa-
tion. defaced and smeared with paint
generously laid on by boys OF the Man
ual Training School. Oh. the JOY of il!
Then along about commencement
time the college man revels in the ex-
hibition OF his wit. one class prepares
an elaborate dinner and the other ar
ranges for coup. The president Of
the class is set upon, overpowered and
imprisoned until the feast is over. Per-
haps the dining room is sacked and
dishes and furniture broken. and years
afterward old men laugh about It till
the tears course down their cheeks. It
was so novel. so brimful Of humor.
At one college the other day when the
professors went to chapel they found
their chairs coated with glue, but not
till they had taken their seats. The
keys Of the organ TOO were glued to-
gether so there was no music. 1t was
very mirth- provoking, especially when
il was learned that the professors had
TO go down into their lean purses to re-
place their ruined clothing. These
young men are so fond OF a Joke that
doubtless when it is turned on them
their mirth knows no bounds. Some
time since a strange photographer ap-
peared on the campus of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania. A number OF
sophomores spied him. "Ah," they
said "a freshman trick" SO they
seized the man. took his camera and
ruined his plates. The joke was on
the freshest In few days. however,
bill came from a New York magazine
demanding 800 damages. The photo
grapher had been sent to take pictures
to illustrate an article on university
life. and the jokers had to go down into
their pockets TO pay for their fun To
be too awfully smart.is expensive.

A CRIME nY rHE STATE.

Crime is not always committed by
individuals; sometimes the culprit is
the state. The newspapers have been
telling OF a boy who was committed to
the House OF Refuge In Elmira nine
years ago, because instead Of attending
school he played truant. Itr a slight
infraction OF the rules he was in time
sent TO the reformatory. After being
there for three years he had quarrel
with one OF the guards and in the al
tercation which followed, in order &c
defend himself struck the guard
blow in the face. For this he was sem
to Sing Sing. from which place he has
just been released.
He comes out OF his long confinement
a mere child as far as knowing the
ways OF the world. He wears the
brand OF felon, and yet he has never
done anything that the average boy
would not do. All his youth has been
spent in association with crooks and
dosperados. He is now thrown upon
his own resources. untitled for society
or for any honest calling and yet his
punishment has been under due form
Of law. Playing truant is no serious
crime, but it led him to Sing Sing
There are those who on this text viii

FRENCH LEAVE.

Presumably when the court sentences
men to prison il expects them to serve
their terms. But this is not so inter-
preted in Delaware. The sentence of
the court does not contemplate that
prisoners shan be put on parole. yet
this seems 10 be the custom. Down in
Kent a few years ago the sheriff put
a prisoner at work in his garden, and
was amazed and Indignant that he
should betray his confidence by walk
ing away In Sussex the Jail is made
so pleasant and so homelike, and there
IS such an air Of freedom that the pris-
oners rarely wish to get away.
But at our Workhouse there is no In
centive for a prisoner to remain longer
than the circumstances require. A diet
costing but seven cents a day is not
attractive. and consequently from time
to time prisoners take their departure
without the formality Of saying good
bye. Some time ago the populace re-
moved one prisoner and made his re-
turn impossible. and yesterday a life
term prisoner decided that another cli-
mate would be better for his health.
He was set to work in an adjoining
wood, and forgot to return to his old
boarding house. 1t didn't show prop
er spirit. When it gets so that pris-
oners cannot be trusted. what is war
den to do? He is helpless. The force
OF this example will be bad. Other
prisoners at work in the wood may say
q tender farewell and our workhouse.
