INDIANS WORKING HARD.
Carlisle Braves Put On Finishing 9
Touches for Georgetown.

Special 10 The Washington Herald
Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 12.-The Carlisle In
dian football players this afternoon after
a thorough talk over the new plays,
went through 4 full round Of elementary
football emphasizing running down I'M
der punts and the recovery of fumbles,
which have been too frequent lately to
suit Warner. Especial stress was laid on
the man receiving a forward pass hold
ing it as the new rules require.
In the signal practice which followed
the backs were given individual instruc-
tions, and they were also followed in
the strenuous scrimmage which ensued.
Tomorrow afternoon the practice will be
reduced to a minimum and the Redskins
will leave for the National Capital be-
fore 6 o'clock. The Indian reserves, un-
der Coach O'Brlen, will play Lebanon
Valley College at Annville on Saturday.
Quarter Back Welch will likely play
against Georgetown.

A PROPHECY.
Who win win the Series?

Who win win the Series?
Is the question of the day.
VIII history repeat iself,
Or slowly fade away7
You talk about the merits
of the different players great
How Mhtty and the Rube will slam
The pellet cross the plate;
How Eddie and his cronies
Win pFance around the green,
How Thomas with his sure throws
VIII stop the Giants clean;
How Merkle and his hitting pals
Will bang Charles Albert Bender
While Coomhs viii also share his fate
But never win surrender.
But all this talk Is needless
And does not answer quite
Just who will win the title in
This old World Series fight.
But take this tip and bet your coin.
Don't let this great chance Glide.
The Elephants viii surely win.
For Lord Is 90 their side.

The Central High eleven looks far the
best OF the scholastic teams, with Tech
the second choice. BY defeating the
Maryland Aggies Wednesday the o
Streeters put themselves in a class far
above the local high school aggregations,
and it is safe bet that they will walk
away with the championship. There is
hardly team that will score on them,
much less beat them.
Young Moore and Harris are giving the
present first string ends, Boe and Flax,
a tough rub for the positions, and there
may be an upset when the final line
up is chosen.
With Morris out of the game, the Tech
! team looks so per cent weaker, as Coun-
| try is a good broken field runner, q
! crack punter. and a good field general.
His successor will have to go some to
fill his shoes in the Blacksmith institu-
ton.
There are letters addressed to the man
ayers of the Northland team and the
Crescent eleven. These managers can
have same by calling on the sporting edi-
tor any evening after o'clock
There seems to be more independent
teams this fall than in the years gone
by. Practically thirty teams are now
working out daily, and from the class
OF ball they are putting up. the play for
the Independent title will be hot.
Cuttings, who played tackle on last
years Randolph-Macon eleven, has en-
tered the Cathedral School, and has sig
nified his intention of trying for the
same position at the Episcopal School.
He is a big chap, and should make a
good running mate for "BnT' Wilson,
who holds down the other tackle posi-
ton.
Reds Wilson, the fighting tackle of
last years Business eleven, will be out
in uniform the early part of next week.
and will put up a hard fight for his old
position. Wilson is one of the hardest
men in the high schools to down, and
will add a great deal of strength to the
Stenographers' line.
The new rule which governs participa-
ton in athletics at Cathedral will keep
Schoenfeld from playing football this
year because he cannot get in the re-
quired three subjects. In the meanwhile
his younger brother is keeping the family
name In the limelight by starring as
quarter for Central High. The older
Schoenfeld played guard at Cathedral for

In the year 17S3 the first regular
post was established on the Kadiak
island, by rich Siberian merchant,
and from this post large fur trade
was carried on with the Russians of
Siberia. In May 1893 a Russian

named Baranof. reached Sitka Sound
and built stockade a short distance.
from where the city of Sitka now
stands, and there organized the Rus
sian American Fur Co., which consis-

firms. many of which were members
of the Imperial family. In 1902 the
fort of Sitka was destroyed by the
Indians and all the inhabitants were
murdered, save for a few Russians
that found refuge on British trad
ing ship. Two years, after Baranof
built another fort on the Columbia
and carried on the trade with the
Spanish colonies in California.
In 1914, Emperor Nicholas who
was possessed with friendly feel
ing for the United States, offered
free of charge to the United States.
the entire territory of The Land of
Gold, providing the United States
would pay for the transfer papers
and bar England from frontage on
the Pacific. This generous offer
was not accepted owing to diplomat
ic considerations. The same offer
was made again in 1854 and still
again in 1859. In 1864 California
commercial syndicate proposed to
lease and then purchase the entire
country. This proposition received
serious consideration at ST. Peters
] burg. About this time Senator Sc
ward was thinking seriously of pur-
| chasing The Land of Gold, and when
the Gar made it known that he
wished to sell Russian America to
any nation excepting England, Sen

Moving Pictures

Paper Read. Before the Chd,tduqua Circle:
Mr.. President and Fellow Mem
bers: I want to talk to you for a
few minutes this afternoon about
moving pictures and the marvellous
development Of the business of
making and exhibiting them. a bus
mess, l may state, in passing, that
has grown from practically nothing
ten years ago to matter of many
millions of value today.
Less than seventeen years ago
Thomas A. Edison invented the
multiscope, an electrically lighted
box in which series of miniature
pictures was shown with such rap
idity as to appear animated. These
pictures were each attached at one
end to spool and released rapidly,
one by one, at the top, much the
same as you might hold a deck of
cards loosely in one hand and draw
your thumb quickly across their
top. Each card carried the picture
one degree further and the whole
gave short, jerky imitation of
actual moving life. You dropped
penny in the slot, put your eyes
to the peep-hole and got results
such as they were.
When / first went to New York
in 1895 there was man named
Bonkuer, from Virginia, exhibiting
moving pictures, somewhat after
the order we have now. He occu-
pied store room on Broadway,
near Wall street, and had simply
applied more powerful light and
lens to the little multiscope, by
this means projecting rather hazy
life size pictures on a screen. He
charged twenty-five cents admis-
sion and fora time did considerable
business. The location. was bad,
however, as the neighborhood was
deserted at night and shortly he
folded up his canvas and disappear
ed.
Two or three years later Nicholas
Power perfected the first real NOV
ing picture machine, but Thomas
A. Edison had not been idle, and
his application for patents followed
Powers closely. Both were grant
ed, but Edison secured the exclus-
i've patent on the method of NOV
ing the film before the light. That
patent brought him several million
dollars. The film consisting o.
hardened gelatine is bound on eth
er edge by celluloid tape, contain
ing ratchet holes one-eighth of an
inch, or so, apart. These holes fiji
into ratchet wheels in the machine
and the film is thus drawn from the
upper reel to the lower, passing
between the three thousand candle
power arc light and the lens on the
way down and projecting the re-
sulting exposure onto the screen
fifty or a hundred feet away. Edi
son and Power machines are still
manufactured and have hard work
keeping up with the demand, bur
the Power machine is considered
the better. Each sells for abou
$125.O

pictures used to rain" or hail.

the agent of the United States, all
the territory and dominion now pos
sessed by His Majesty on the conti-
nent of America, and in the adjacent
islands, according to treaty made
between those two powers. .
For several years the Americans
were under the impression that by
purchasing Alaska or The Land of
Gold, that they had paid 81 200, 900
for large tract of land that was
noted for nothing but it's beautiful
scenery, it's large rivers and high
snow covered dmountains and its fur:
the latter being the only return for
their money. Only few years later
few white emigrants started to
settle in the country and built few
small cabins, erected saw-mill,
which was success from the start. S
Many of these settlers took to fish
ing, which netted them a handsome
income, and as time passed more
emigrants came and few left until
the year of 1897, when the steamer
Portland arrived at Seattle with
over ton of gold aboard. The news
was spread over the entire country
in very short time, and caused not
only the Americans to go wild, but
the entire world. People from all
over the world, even from far distant
Australia, were soon on their way to =
Seattle, bound for The Land of Gold.
Many of them could not find accom-
modatien on the first out. going steam
er and were badly disappointed
when informed, tn at they would
have to wait for the next boat.
Many of these fortune seekers sold
their homes for far less than what
they were actually worth, in order to
get money enough to take them to
The Land of Gold. Many left weep
ing mothers, wives and sweethearts,
to venture out in the cold. cold coun-
try in seach of wealth; and many
sold out their place of business
which was bringing them in neat
sum daily. Men and women alike,
had the gold fever. and were off to
the Klondike. Many Of them never
returned. A great many who went
there in poverty. came out millon-
aires.
1t can not be said that the fortune
seekers had an easy time of it, for
the gold that was found was located
in such places that it caused consid-
cradle labor and many hardships to
procure it. Take for instance: A
man or party stalking out claim,
perhaps that claim would be two or
three hundred miles away. This
distance had to be covered by foot,
for there were no railroads, and it
was necessary to carry enough food
to last at least three months, also
some clothing, rifle and bed. and
such utensils as was necessary to
work their claim Many that were
not fortunate enough to get claim,
found employment with claim hold
ers, for (which they received for their
labor $1.O0 per hour. Thus many
accumulated a fortune in that way.
Many were denied employment un-
less they brought along enough food
SO they could board themselves. In
many instances food could not be
/ bought for any price. About the

caused by the flickering Of the
light and the spots or scratches on
THE pictures. All this has since
been eliminated. Films can be
cleaned and vanished in a few min
iutes and Edison.s latest invented
shutter did away with the flicker
ling.
In 1906 / was IN the West and
noticed a number of so-called store
shows" in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Salt Lake and Denver
These were merely store-rooms in
which chairs were arranged and a
screen thrown across the back
wall. Practically the same scheme
on which Bonhuer, the Virginian,
had fallen down near Wall Street
some years before. In the western
cities. however, gaudy tinwear
fronts had replaced the glass win
dows and electric lights proclaim
ed the Star Theatre or the El Dor
ado Opera House. Everywhere they
seemed to be doing plenty of busi-
ness with only moving pictures and
illustrated songs at 5 and 10 cents
admission.
/ beat the craze to New York
and opened the first such show shop
in that city The Pickwick'' at
9th avenue and 23d street. Two
weeks later. WmBradey, the thea
trical magnate opened The Com
edy" on 14th street and then they
came thick and fast. Today there
are over 20O0 such play houses in
Greater New York and as many
more in Chicago.
Uncle Sam was very anxious to
have an interview with me all this
time, SO when he camped in front
of The Pickwick,'' the place was
quickly sold to Marcus Loew and
David Warield. Warfield was
just beginning to make big money
then and Loew was rated at So, SOC
as a fur merchant. Now they con-
troll eleven hundred such places in
/ the United States and Canada, and
each is millionaire. Loew's for
tune has come to him in five years
exclusively from moving picture
theatres and he is today the chief
competitor of the vaudeville trust.
The old Pickwick; the first theatre
! heowned, still produces almost $500
weekly profits and is apparently
good for many years to come.
