Men Gossips.

We hear much cf the woman gossip.
What about the man gossip Are all
his conversations with his fellows free
from calumny, does not his tongue oc~
casionally wag over little rumor that
has the ear marks of sensation aud
does he not mouth it with relish ard
multipIy it by adding 60 what he has
heard litGle private speculation ana.
possibly, few iucriminating remin-
isceneesg Among your acquaintanoes
do YOU not know the man who, when
YOU tell him of the good deeds of Mr..
So-and-So, of his probity aud his win
ming personality will smile as though
in compassion, and call you aside and
whisper lust few words into your
ear. But in these words there is the
venom of scandal and while they may
be based upon some fiinsy ground You
know full we'll that they could have
been left unsaid. This type OF the man
gossip is most dangerous. No one is
impervious to his attacks. He does
not look for virtue. He is always
searching for frailties aud the Dlety
in making man never negIects to en-
dow him with frailties of some sort.
So the man gossip oan always md
something to base his malignant struc-
ture upon and he bpilds so we'll at
lines that he esrranges erstwhile hap
eat,lc down rhA
path TO ruin and social oblivion.
1t has been said that woman is never
so unkind as to her own sex. The man
gossip has no mercy for those of his
own sex and women form most de-
lectable morsel for him. His eyes seem
to be ever upon them and when they
are guilty of the slightest indiscretion
he will tell the story with an omnious
lowering of his voice and with every
word tinctured with suggestiveness.
The barber shop hears his story, the
cigar store listens to it, if he be club
man he may tell it there, if his club
tolerates such things, and each men,
Der of his family is regaled with 1T.
In time the story is given wide circu-
lation and the ultimate result is that
it develops into a scandal to the great
annoyance and distress of the person
around whom he has woven the web.
Mankind has its gossips just the
same as womankind. There is no diff
ference between them-the one is just
as despicable, just as low and just as
scurvy as the other

r1AIN INTEREST
IN RAILROAD MEN
NEW YORK, Aug. IA.

NEW YORK, Aug. n.
With both sides claiming victory,
I TIE main interest in the telegraphers'
strike here today centered about the
possibility of the railroad telegraph
Srs, forty thousand strong Joining the
ranks of the strikers. The report that
she Erie railroad had discharged i've
Tor refusing to send com
rmercial messages caused much uneasi-
ness, which was not quieted even when
the report was denied officially by
officers of the company. 1t is under
stood that the officials of the Balti-
more and Chic and tho New York
. Central have determined not to try tp
force their operators 30 handle COM
mercial business.
WOULDN'T HANDLE.
Belvidere Brooks, superintendent of
the Eastern division of the Western
Union, today said 1.-The railroad COM
panies are under contract TO US 30
handle commercial business and of
course they will live up to their con-
tracts. AS far as we are concerned,
when men refuse to handle wires we
discharge them. l should think the
railroads would do the same" A crisis
came when the manager of the West
~ern Union Office at the Grand Central
station sent bundle of messages,
which he was unable to handle, to the
New York Central railroad operators
Without hesitation the operators refus-
ed to send the messages, and threaten
ed to walk out if any attempt was
made to force them The railroad
officials returned the messages 10 the
Western Union.
RAILROAD MEN HOLDING.
Grand Secretary Quick, of the Order
of Railroad Telegraphers, notified all
members of that union that they must
strictly observe the agreement with
the railroad companies and perform
the same duties that they did before
the strike was declared. Nothing more
nor less Mr.. Quick's prompt action
has settled this question. He instruct
ed the members of this union also to

States Milk SuppIy Is Pure.

About 5000 samples of milk and
cream have been taken by the dairy
and food department during the past
thirty days at various points through
out the State. The result is most graft
flying to Commissioner Foust, who
says it is the most remarkable show
ing ever made in Pennsylvania. The
absence, he says, of violations of the
milk laws is in marked contrast to the
inspection of four years ago when
hundreds of prosecutions for use of
preservatives and the watering of milk
occurred. In the city of Philadelphia
$40 samples were secured and COM
psratively few people were found who
used adulterations.

GENERAL STRIKE
ORDER EXPECTED

Chicago, Aug 14-With the arrival
of President Small. of the Commerce
al Telegraphers' Union, in Chicago to
day, general strike order. calling out
every union operator in the United
States and Canada will be issued ac-
cording to strike leaders. In every
office not already affected union op-
orators are anXinusly awaiting the
word from President Small. The gem
eral strike order was prepared yester-
day and is now in the possession Of
General Secretary Russell. As soon as
Small places his seal of approval up
on 1t this action will be flashed to all
corners of the URited States and Can
ada. Then the biggest strike in the
history of the Commercial Telegraph
ers' Union, involving approximately
27, 900 men will be reality.
CAN HARDLY BE AVERTED.
The executive board will 60 into ses-
sion to discuss a general strike Re-
aikzing that general walkout cannot
be averted. it is not thorght Small
will show any hesitaney in giving his
sanction to the order. Should Small
seek even to delay such action for a
day, the operators who have remained
at their keys for no other reason than
to be called out by him will undoubt-
edly join the strikers. Secretary Rus
sell realizes this. With President
Roosevelt may lie the only possibility
for settlement. Business interests of
Chicago and other portions of the
country are urging the chief execu-
tive to take hand, but no disposition
is.manifested by either party to the
strike to arbitrate.

ARMY AND YALE TIE

 GAME. s-s, .s,-.s
The Cadets, Defense Was Rernnrkably Strong But Yale Had a TrifIe The Better Of The
 PunfinE.

West Point, N T., Oct. 19.--In hard played line smashing game before the largest crowd of spectators ever gathered on military academy grounds, West Point today held Yale to . stie, neither side being able to score through two exciting halves
 The. cadets tonight are i9clinsd 10 give much of the credit for what they consider a victory to Coach Forbes, who played on the Yale team last yeaT and who was able to teach the cadets many of the tricks on which Yale de- pended to score. Army enth usiaetA tonight are loud in their praise or the cadets and are freely offering wag- CTS that the Middies will be defeated when the game between the two acad- emies is played next month.
 The cadets defense was remarkably strong but Yale had trifle the bet ter of the bunting, although Wheaton was out of the game. Coy, Wylie. and Bomar did some especially brilliant bunting but the last two were disabled during the second half
 Jones, at quarter, was the weak point in the Yale team, and decided improvement was not noted when Dimes succeeded him in the second half. 5.e ~-s ..

 SEWANEE 12 Tech Boys Surprise Their
 Friends. AN UNINTEREsTNG GAME Mountain Boys Psnalized Several .l1 Times. shlpp and Lanier Were The stars On West End Foot Ban Field.
 The Forward Pass
 Failed.

Birmingham, Oct. ls--( Special; )-Se- vance. after forty minutes of play, snatched thS foot ball game from Au- burn by a score of IF to at West End Park this afternoon.
 The gama was uninteresting, but the result came rather as q surprise, as Sewanee was expected to do more The reason Sewanee did not score any more points was due to the fact that the for ward pass, worked repeatedly. failed eight times out of ten. Why Barrett. the quarterback for Sewanee, called for the forward pass will never be known, perhaps.
 Both teams indulged in the kicking game and kept the ball pretty well see saving. Auburn scored her first point in three and one-half minutes play and might have scored more. but, after making one touchdown. the Tigers placed themselves on the defensive and were always warding off attacks tri- stead of making them.
 The ball the greater part of the aft ernoon was in Auburn's territory. Au- burn didn't try any especially brilliant plays seeming to be willing to remain an the defensive throughout the game.
 Sewanee. in the event that the for ward passes had worked. would have gotten off with most spectacular game. While Auburn blocked these forward pass movements many times, the failure was for the most part on the shoulders of a Sewanee player. The ball was either passed wide or

 The Sewanee team. as an additional result of the forward pass. was penal ized seven times, The new rule pro- v.aes that a- 2 forware cass or the first two downs the ball must be touch ed by player before it strikes the ground. ! This caused severe penalties to fall to Sewanee's head.
 The surprise of the game was tho scoring of Auburn. The packers of both colleges did not expect Auburn to score and pandemoniun reiGned when Auburn took the ball over in such a short time.
 The flying of gay colors from car riages, automobiles and grand stand. gave a holiday appearance.
 On the jump when Auburn kicked or to Sewanee the mountain boys fumbled the ball. This laid the foundation of Auburn,s first score. The forward pass was then worked by Auburn and a good gain was recorded. Mccoy then took the ball over on a buck line play. Ware kicked the goal and Auburn had a score of 6 to Sewanee's nothing.
 With two and one-half minutes to play. in the first half. Sewanee got away with a forward pass and Lewis carried the ball over on thirty-five yard run. Shipp kicked the goal and the score was tied. The first half end- ed with this score.
 The second half was filled with some plays spectacular and others strictly of color. Auburn appeared to be tak- ing advantage of the FIew forward pass rule and letthA ball llsdrop to. the ground as much as possible This was good Judgment. ReWever. ,sis 34 sltF sx stsss

sThe two teams kicked and kicked during the second half with Sewanee continuing. to play or attempting to play the forward pass.
 In the second half Sewanee did some real football playing when she held Auburn fur a down OF her 1cssxFyarc line. This was the only real test of strength in the game.
 With four minutes 10 play Sewanee was penalized on a failure at forward pass and kick. Auburn returned the kick to Lanier who took the ball over on forty-yard run for the second touchdown. Shipp kicked the goal. This score ended the point making.
 Shipp and Lanier of Sewanee were the stars of the game, both playing spectacular ball. Shipp made an eighty yard run for touchdown in the second half, but was called back on account of running out of bounds. Not q man was laid out of the game on either team The lineup is as follows:
