GAME FOR LITTLE BOYS
Football Is Not for Grown-Ups, Says
DR.. Eliot, Harvard Man.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-"Football is
game for little boys, not a pastime
for powerful young men. I think my
views on the question of abolishing
football at Harvard are very plainly
stated in my annual reports"
This was the reply of DR.. Charles
w. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward university, today, when asked
what effect, if any, the death of Cadet
Byrne would have on college football.
college boys are too big and strong
to play football. There are number
of other athletic sports much more
suitable" DIR. Eliot asserted.
The doctor said he did not care to
put himself in the position of CRITICS
ing any possible action of the college
authorities by prophesying the future
status of the game at Harvard.

SELECT BISHOP FOR WINONA.
This Will Be Done at the Consistory
in Rome.

Rome Nov. 3.-The Ro,lan congre-
CATION next Thursday will resume work
after the holidays, and the consis-
tory will begin to make a number
of very important nominations for
the United States. The first of these
Should have been the appointement of
a bishop for the diocese of Hartford,
but it has been delayed for some
what unusual reason.
Two lists of three names each were
selected some months ago by the per-
manent rectors of Hartford and the
bishops of the province respectively
and taken under examination by the
cardinals. The Roman authorities de-
cided to ask for further information
concerning the candidates proposed.
When this was sent it left so much
room for doubt that they decided to
reject all the names presented and
order the selection of other candi-
dates 1t is probable that the final
choice of Rome will be some priest
who does not belong to the Hartford
diocese.
The consistory will also consider
candidates for the proposed dioceses
of Burlington. Fargo and Winona. A
coadjutor archbishop with the right of
succession will be appointed for Mgr.
Keene, Archbishop of Dubuque, and a
coadjutor bishop, also with the right
or succession, for Mgr. Foley, Bishop
of Detroit.
The Congregation, either at it's first
or second meeting, will consider the
question of dividing the archdiocese of
Philadelphia by cutting off from it a
new diocese having it's centre at Read
ing. There has also been a sug-
gestion to form a. new diocese from
st. Paul, but that, apparently, will
not come to a discussion in the ira.
mediate future.

MINISTER HANGED IN EFFIGY
Fairmont Clergyman Unpopular With
Liquor Element.

Fairmont, Mimi, Nov. 3.-The Rev.
Grant B. Wilder, pastor of the First
Congregational church in this city, was
hanged in effigy on the front porch of
the parsonage Monday night.
The figure remained suspended yes
terday and caused much excited COM
ment.

ing aroused by a special election to
be held in this city next Tuesday to
amend the city charter. The proposed
amendment, if carried, will permit the
freeholders to vote on the question of
license at the next regular eelction.
Since coming to Fairmont, the Rev.

against the liquor interests and the af-
front offered him is generally at
tributed to those whom he has opposed.
