FOOTBALL LEADERS
HARVARD sEEMS TO HAVE FIRST
 CHOICE.
Dartmouth And Harvard Meet on the (sFiIIrOn Next Saturday and A Battle for Supremacy
 s.. VIII be Waged.

Boston, Mass, Nov S.-Although the finishing touches are yet to be put to the majority of the important eastern college teams to prepare them for the championship games. various remarkable events on the gridiron yes" terday seem to make it practicable to pick the present leaders in the foot ball world.
 On the basis of Harvard's brilliant victory over Carlisle Saturday, Browns tie game with Yale and Dartmouth's win over Princeton. Harvard would seem to have first choice.
 Carlisle. which has held the Univer- stty of Pennsylvania to a score or six to six, was trounced by Harvard vesterday IT to 0. Brown. which Harvard had little trouble in beating six to two a week ago. outplayed Yale yesterday. the blue sympathizers feeling lucky to escape with a ten to ten Ie, With Dartmouth which showed decisive superiorIty over Princeton in its ten to six victory in New York, Harvard. has only williams scores for a comparison. Harvard disposed of Williams ten to 0 and the Berkshire boys in the next game outplayed Dartmouth in a score less contest.
 Score comparisons however. are un- reliable in the present development or the teams. Harvard has probably shown the greatest development of any of inc big eastern elevens for the past week. Dartmouth with the exception of Pishon, the little quarter back has practically the same team that last year overwhelmed Harvard. These two elevens meet next Saturday and should Dartmouth win, she would realize her ambition to rank among the very nrst of the big teams.
 Annapolis, which piled up thirty points against Villa Nova yesterday still leads in scoring with 1s4. The University of Pennsylvania is next with 179 while Yale with 142. Harvard with l22. Syracuse with l15 and Brown Wlth i0s are the only eastern teams above the century mark.
 None of the eastern teams has an goal. Yaie's record was the last to tumble. Brown smirching It twice yesterday.

CHURCH DEDICATED
BISHOP CANDLER BREACHES TWO
 MAGNIFICENT SERMONS.
Money Raised with Which to Build Parsonage For Clayton Street Church And For MontgOm-
 cry District Elder.

Bishop W. A Candler, having an oversight of the Methodist Churches of Alabama and Georgia with headquar- ters in Atlanta, at the services of the Clayton Street Methodist Church Sum day morning dedicated that church to the service of GodNand raised s1.0o0 by subscription of those present toward the erection of a parsonage for the church.
 Before the dedication of the church by the bishop the entire church debt of s4500. the amount originally requir- ed to build the church on Clayton Street. had been paid in full, there re- maining the building of the parson- age to. make the physical equipment of the church perfect.
 The bishop read from the Book of Genesis. giving the history of Jacob, and took the whole reading as a gem eral text for a magnificent sermon. After the preaching of the sermon the formal dedication of the building as required by the law of the Methodist Church was read and accepted by both pastor and congregation.
 The Clayton Street Methodist Church was established by tine Montgomery conference some twenty years ago. its first building being a rented house on Holt Street. After a few years in this section, the present lot was bought. and the church building finished about the first of October 1899. Since that time the church has been in a thriv- ing condition, and under the pastoral direction of Rev. D. H. McNeai has in- proved wonderfully.
 At the night hour the bishop oc- cupfed the pulpit of the Court Street Methodist Church. Taking his reading of the scriptures from the first chap ter of the gospel according to St. Luke in which the story of the good Samari- tan Is told in graphic language, Bishop Candler preached upon Perfect Love"
 The bishop declared that perfect love knew no fear of death. That 1t did not cast out the fear of. death but cast out all selfishness. Argument was made from the standpoint of doing i'm mediate good. It was stated that cer- tain people were perfectly willing to work for a church organization, an organization having secretary and treasurer. but that they were unwill- ing to work with their next door
 in illustrating his point Bishop CandIer told story in which 1t ap- peared that a certain. rich woman came to his house and asked what work there was for her to do. The reply was given her that her. neigh DOESs- d ASW r0AoOtAE uAS%ssaAS. %t UtAA ~ palatial residence, were wanting in many things. and that she could begin to work foA Christ near her. own nShome by setting a Christian example of love and felloWshfp. At the conclusion of the sermon a call was made for money with which to help in the matter of building district parsonagei a work undertaken some time ago, and in short while the sum of $340 was collected for this purpose.
 Bishop Candler will leave for his home in Atlanta on the morning train.

ADVICE FROM THE oPTlMlsr.
Cultivate Humor and Scatter Bless.
lngs Around You.

Humor may not be sixth sense or
a seventh, but 1t ought to be one Of
the senses Of the well-ordered human
being. The man who has no sense Of
humor and who goes unhumorous and
laughterless through his dreary exist
ence may have the comfort of know
Ing the animals do not laugh and that
the bray of the jackass comes nearest
an expression Of laughter in the ami
NAL creation, writes an optimist in the
New York Times. He may have that
comfort If he wants it. But he should
not want it. The thoroughly serious
man is of piece with the patient
and somber post that stands in the
ground and holds up part of fence
till it rots off. He has a mission, but
1t is not a specially enviable one.
Blessed are the cartoonists and the
satirists and the funmakers. For by
enlarging upon our foilles and foibles
and conspicuities they awaken us to
their elements of the ridiculous and
lead us with wisdom to temper ex-
uberance. Blessed is the saving grace
of humor. For where humor is, treason
finds no fertile soil, deceit fiourishes
not, hypocrisy wthers and dies, greed
Is tempered and reason only rules.

The eoose.AIarn,.

There are burglar alarms to notify
the householder when a burglar is
seeking entrance, but an Illinois farm
err has proved that there is something
cheaper and just as good. If a goose
is tied up by the leg in front or rear
of house at night she wiz set up a
vigorous cackle if anybody comes
sneaking about. Her hearing is acute
and her eyesight sharp, and she is bet
ter on the watch than dog.
The farmer made 80 different ex-
periments with the goose alarm, and
in not one single instance did the
goose fail to announce that there was
some one moving about who ought
to be attended to. If you ere afraid
of burglars, buy goose. If you can
afford it, buy two of them, so that
one may help the other cackle.

A Parliamentary stratauen.

1t was an informal session, after one
OF the regular meetings of a religious
convention, that the New Hampshire
minister told some of his best stories.
There is one man in our church." he
said, who is as good as gold, but so
long-winded that he tires everybody
out
AT one time it was suggested bv
one of the deacons that in order to
avoid the extreme length of this good
mans remarks at prayer meeting we
make five-minute limit.
This l inaugurated at the next
meeting, and it was chereing to us all
to see that when the long-winded man
rose to speak he held his open watch
in his left hand.
When the limit was all but reached
he said: Finding, my dear friends,
that have only few seconds left in
which to speak, and having much to
say, l will throw the rest of my re-
marks into the form of prayer.'"-

MINERS HAVE TO WORK HARD.
Pay Good, But Labor ls Very Heavy
In the kIondike.

Mining in the Klondike Is strenuous

winters rest" says an engineer who
has just returned from the Klondike
to spend the winter. Its ten hours
a day without any stop for Sundays,
holidays or anything else, and If you
can't stand the pace, out you go. On
the dredges 1t is little easier, for
while the dredges are kept going all
the time, the men work only eight
hours. three shifts being used on
each dredge. The pay is good, but the
men are mighty glad when the sea-
son Is over
Nearly all the mining in the Klon-
dixie country is done by big corpora
tons. Their plan is to buy out all
the mining claims on stream in
which they want to operate. A min
Ing claim is 900 feet along the stream
and 1000 feet on each side of the CEN

dredge out the bars and riverbeds for
the entire length of their holdings.
which may be ten or 12 miles and even
more, and when this work is done
they wash out the benches on the
banks. They surely do clean I'D every
thing in the gold line.
Wages are good in the mining coun-
try. Ordinary miners and laborers re-
ceive five dollars a day and found,
and engineers seven and eight dollars
day and found. A sensible man can
put up nice little pile in a good sea-
son."

Murder of the Innocents.

When a man gets very old he
harms nobody except by living. He is
of no use in the community. He is
without future. His mind is as fee
Bile as his limbs are weak. This rapid
world is not inclined to invest in a
dismantled industrial plant No an
tique machinery for this age of rush.
The man of capital is ready to invest
in prospect-but not prospect of
death. So the old, the poor, the help
less, even If helped just tritle along
the road to the grave, are saddened in
their last moments by the reflection
that they are inmates of the poor
house."
