Another Foot Ball Victory.

In a rather one-sided contest St. Johns
bury ACADEMY defeated the foot ball
eleven representing Bellows Free Acad-
envy OF Fairfax at the campus, Saturday,
by the score of Is to 0. The securing OF
Mr.. Higgins for a coach was we'll
advised action on the part of the athletic
committee, as was demonstrated by the
marked improvement in the work of the
whole Academy team. The interference
was almost perfect. and although there
was little chance to show what they
could do in the defensive line. the oppor-
tunities presented were taken advantage
of in most creditable manner. But the
most noticeable improvement was in
their ground gaining, as they worked
throughout on system which netted
them gain after gain, with no fumbling
or misplays, and kept them on the main
road to their opponents goal, where
they landed the ball twice during the IS
minutes of play.
The first touchdown was made by
Walker from 10 yards through the line
after Is minutes Of play, during which
time the locals had the ball on Bellows
territory from the first kickoff Hill
kicked the goal and this ended the
scoring for the first period. In the last
half Walker again carried it over, after
catching forward pass by Hunt, of the
visiting aggregation, amid the lusty
cheering of the loyal co-eds.. Hill finished
the scoring and cinched the game with
his usual stunt, pretty goal from the
field. In addition to Hill and Walker,
there should also be mentioned Powell
and Wilson, who worked so we'll on the
interference, and Beck, who played his
best game of the season, and divided
with "Bill' Gibson and Walker the work
of getting under Captain Hills pretty
forward passes and outside kicks, in
which work they shone like veterans.

The kirr


Why salute OF the lips ordinarily
known as a Kiss, should be given such
prominence in the literature and
drama of the world. both Biblical and
historical, cannot be solved by recourse
to any written authority, yet during all
these years since the beginning of time
this peculiar salutation does not APP
pear to have lost in value. nor is there
any immediate prospect of its so do
ing What the playwright, the novelist
and the poet would do without this peg
upon which to hang a plot it would be
difficult to say, and this applies es-
pecially to the playwrights, for dozens
of familiar dramatic productions, sew
eral of which have graced the New
York stage this season, have found
their greatest factor. the wheel upon
which the machinery of the scenes
runs and the plot depends, in kiss
that of a man and woman. In
France only half century ago code
of regulations by which the theaters of
that country were governed provided
that any actor kissing an actress with
out her consent, regardless of what the
play might be. would be subject to a
fine of many francs.-Harriet Quimby

TWO CENTURIES OLD.
A Celebration Planned For Church
In Wexford, R. !.

4 In Wexford, r. !.
I A celebration to commemorate the
two hundredth anniversary of the
erection of the old Narragansett church
in WEXFORD, X. L. the Oldest edifice in
New England devoted to the Protes-
tant Episcopal worship, is being plan
ned for the coming summer and will
be the central attraction of old home
week.
A committee has been appointed to
arrange for this celebration, of which
the present rector of the church, Rev.
Frederick Bradford Cole, is chairman.
The old church stands upon short
lane just off the main street of old
WEXFORD and is surrounded by many
marks of the colonial days. 1t is still
well preserved, and save for the loss of
the tall tower which once gave it an
imposing aspect If is but little changed
either outside or in.
The entrance is in the center ON the
side, now facing the lane on which it
fronts, and directly opposite stands the
pulpit, somewhat changed from it's
original appearance. The center por
ton of the church is occupied by long
pews with high backs, while ON either
side are square, boxlike pews, with
seats on three sides, which would ac-
commodate whole family.
A gallery extends around three sides
of the church. and i'll the early days
the preacher. standing in his lofty pull
pit, reached by narrow stairs, stood
nearly even with the floor of this gal
lery.
In those days, no means for heating
the church being provided, each family
had to provide its own means of keep
ing warm during the bleak wintry
days, and some now living who can re-
call their attendance upon services at
this ancient church even half CEN
fury ago relate amusing experiences of
the family heater"
Much has been written of the early
history of this church. Some have
claimed that in 1900, when the edifice,
then nearly 100 years old. was moved
to Wexford, it was stolen and carted
away in the night intact with many
oxen.
At the time of tie removal stee-
pie was added. and o:he- improve
ments We're made Fer nearly half a
century it continued in actve use.
The old tower was blown down in
1869. Later the building was repair
ed and put in a condition to maintain
it in as near its original state rs pos

Words of Praise

For the several ingredients OF which DR..
Pierce's medicines are composed, as given
by leaders in all the several schools of
medicine, should have far more weight
than any amount Of non professional tes-
timonials. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion has THE BADGE OF HONESTY on every
bottle-wrapper, in a full list of all it's in
gradients printed in plain English.
If you are an invalid woman and suffer
from frequent headache, backache, gnaw-
ing distress in stomach, periodical pains,
disagreeable, catarrhal, pelvic drain,
dragging down distress in lower abdomen
or pelvis, perhaps dark spots or specks
dancing before the eyes, faint spells and
kindred symptoms caused by female weak
ness or other arrangement of the feminine
organs, you can not do better than take
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The hospital, surgeons knife and opera
ting table may be avoided by the timely
use of uFavorite Prescription in such
cases. Thereby the obnoxious examin-
atoms and local treatments of the family
physician can be avoided and thorough
course of successful treatment carried out
in the privacy of the home. rFavorite
Prescription Is composed of the very best
native medicinal roots known to medical
science for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments, contains no alcohol and no
harmful or habit-forming drugs.
Do not expect too much from UFavorite
Prescription; it will not perform mira
yles it will not Dissolve or cure tumors.
No medicine will. 1t will do as much to
establish vigorous health in most weak
nesses and ailments peculiarly incident to
women as any medicine can. It must be
given fair chance by perseverance in its
use for a reasonable length of time.
You can't afford to accept a secret nos
trum as a substitute for this remedy OF
known composition.
Sick women are invited to consult DIR.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence Is guarded as sacredly secret and
womanly condolences are protected by
professional privacy. Address DR.. r. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets the best
laxative and regulator of the bowels.
They invigorate stomach, liver and
bowels. One laxative two or three
cathartic. Easy to take as candy.

Women, such as DR.. R. v. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The young wife
desiring the advice of a physician is
deferred therefrom by bashfulness, and
so are many younger women, single
women, and we should advise these to
write at once to Dr. Pierce, who will
treat their correspondence as strictly
confidential, and give them an intellf-
gent medical opinion without cost.
After long experience in the treatment
of womanly diseases, DR.. Pierce evolved
a vegetable tonic and corrective which
he called DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion. This is a purely vegetable prep
aration, without a particle of alcohol
contained in it.
Backed up by over third of CEN
fury of remarkable and uniform cures,
record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained, the proprietors
and makers of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription now feel fully warranted in
offering to pay $500 in legal money of
the United States for any case of Leucor-
rhea, Female Weakness, or Falling of
Womb. which they cannot cure. All
they ask is fair and reasonable trial Of
their means of cure.
