Our people are prosperous"
Coal Mining Regions Loyal.
Throughout the anthracite coal re-
gion there appears to be an unusually
confident spirit shown in the CORES
pondence received by Chairman An
drews. One chairman from this region
among other things said:
Every county in the coal mining
districts OF this state will be found
standing pat with Roosevelt and the
Republican party. Our msn are en-
ployed and contented. They have no
concern as to the future, and they are
determined to vote the full Republican
ticket. They believe in letting well
enough alcIe. They want no change,
and cannot be switched from the Re-
publican ticket by any arguments or
chicanery of independent Republican
or other assistant Democrats"
One of the western county chairmen,
after predicting that his county would
increase it's Republican majority over
the highest figure ever given in an off
year, added:

dred of our active Republicans / dis

They may all get into line before cleo

you may look for a splendid showing
from our county; in fact, | believe you

parts of this section of the state from

All of Chairman Andrews letters
told practically the same story. The
majority will surely be above the aver
age for an 'off-year."
There was no room to question the
intense party fervor which exists.

COMING UP STRONG.

Straight.
FARMERS CLOSE BEHIND

The Treasury team, after dropping two
games to the Interiors, landed the full set
IN its match with Commerce and Labor, and
still holds the lead in the race for the cup
and championship in the Departmental
Bowling League. Never lower than third
place. the former second-raters have main
tanned steady pace all season. but the
Commissioners. and Agriculture quints are
coming strong. and the leaders will have to
show much improvement over their last set
to retain the leadership.
Previous form counts for naught this sea-
son. The two-time champion Bureaus, with
the same personnel as in the past three
seasons, occupy a lowly BERTH and the ex-
champion Interiors are perched in third
place only through luck breaking their way.
as they are well down the line In team aver
ages, having as well the lowest high set
OF three games
Without decided brace the Treasury
bowlers cannot continue to roest on their
elevated perch. and, judging from present
going" the race rests between the Farm
ers and Commissioners. The former have
done the best work In the last two weeks
with the pins having taken three straights
from both the Post Office and Interiors. The
biggest surprise was sprung by the lowly
Warriors. who took the champion Bureaus
into camp for three straight. feat they
accomplished by running the three highest
games they have bowled this year. The
Bureaus had q bad slump also, dropping
the full set to the Commissioners Six
straight victories for the Farmers have
pulled them up from fifth to second place.
and the Commissioners have climbed up
two pegs, while the Interiors have dropped
one and the Navy Yard two positions in
the standing.
De Yo Of the Treasury quint is still the
league leader in individual averages. and
also remains at the top in average Of
strikes. Holman comes up from seventh
to third place, Crist dropping from third
to fifth and O'Donnell from ffth to seventh

tumbled out Of the first ten, their places
being taken by German, Bum and Ward.

The game was free from roughness and

FOURTH DEGREE CONFERRED.
Knights of Columbus Has Glass Of 16O
at One Time

Thanksgiving day was a gala one in the
history of the knights of Columbus of
Washington and vicinity when the fourth
degree was conferred on large number OF
candidates. The work was carried out at
the temple, on E street northwest between
9th and 7th, under the supervision of the
Washington knights.
Fully 160 candidates for the degree were
present from the District of Columbia
Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia. North
Carolina and South Carolina, while there
were other knights from distant cities to
witness the exemplifcation. Following the
degree a banquet was served in the lower
hall, which had been beautifully decorated
with the national colors in honor of the &C.
casion. After the discussion of an elabo-
rate menu Mr.. Francis P. Sheehy. grand
knight of the District of Columbia, the
POSTMASTER, introduced the speakers. and
among these who responded to toasts were
DR.. Edwin p McDevltt of Baltimore. mas
ter of the fourth degree. and Rev. A. p.
Doyle, c. S. p. of the apostolic mission
house, Catholic University.
Following the speechmaking there were
exercises of varied character for the en-
tertainment Of the audience. The visiting
knights were enthusiastic in their praise of
the local members of the order. whose hos
pitality. they declared, is boundless.

PLAYED A FAST GAME
FRESHMAN PHARMACISTS DE-
FEAT THE JUNIORS.

The Freshman foot ball team of the Ma
tional College of Pharmacy treated the
juniors to bitter dose Of defeat yester-
day afternoon, winning by the score OF
IL to o in a clean, suappy game full Of
exciting incidents. Several weeks ago the
two teams tied, and as both have de-
feated the Seniors. the game had to be
played off to settle the inter-class cham
pionship.
Too much credit cannot be given Capt.
Steele of the Freshmen, who has developed
a well-balanced, fast-playing team from
almost green recruits. This is the first
time in the history Of the college that a
freshman team has won the coveted flag,
and it is proud of dts victory.
The Freshman team possessed deterrni-
nation, which. coupled with the fine judg-
ment used by their quarterback In directing
the attack. made the defense OF the Juniors
appear weak The Juniors, ofrense lacked
the dash noticeable in the play of their
opponents. and appeared almost complete
ly outclassed by their lighter opponents.
Pitzer. at tackle. seemed to be the only
man who could stand the brunt OF the
terrific nne plunges OF this freshmen on
up to best advantage, each making good
runs around the '06 ends.
Steele. the Freshman captain, was easily
the star of the game. His powerful offense
when used on tackle back formations not
only doomed up brilliantly. but his ability
to break up the line smashes OF the Jun
Tors brought him even more prominently

fully at the display in the window
when a kind Sunshine member
passing in her carriage noticed the
tiny feet red with exposure and the
sad look oil the face of the lad.

"Would you like pair of those

"Yes, ma'am, but 1 haven't got
any money"
"Come in the store with me she
said. "Perhaps we can arrange
with the man to give you pair"
Entering the store this Sunshiner
sent out a boy for a pair of stock
ings Of the proper size and asked
for a bowl of warm water. With
her own hands she washed the dir
ty little feet, pulled on the stock
ings, and then purchased a pair of
stout shoes, the little fellow mean
while becoming mute with aston

the articles were his own, he look

and said: al was just asking God
to give me pair of those shoes
when you came up. Are you Gods
