COLLEGEVILLE.

Tuesday, Nov. Ist, the Feast of All Saints, being a holiday, there will be no classes. Rev. A. Weyman, C. P. P. S, on "Wednesday returned from St. Anthony’s hospital, Chicago, entirely recovered from the effects of the operation, and at once took up again the ■work of his classes. Rev. Ig. A. Wagner, C. P. P. S., left for the Catholic University, Washington, D. C., to continue his scientific and mathematical studies. * The following visitors were entertained at the college during the last week: Rev. X. Felden, J. McArdle, Monroeville, Ind.; Mrs. Hugh McCaffrey, Peru, Ind.; John R. Welch. Mrs. Alice Welch, Miss Anne Welch, Francis O’Reilly and Thos. Darmody, Indianapolis; Miss Rosa Beck and Mrs. Mary Curran, Rensselaer. While passing through Rensselger, Mr. John W. Kern stopped long enough at the college to give the stdJents a pleasant and instructive talk on the necessity of forming a strong and firm character in their youthful Mays. It was ingeniously illustrated by many incidents from his own varied career. The rmpression that Mr. Kern succeeded in making on his hearers was, indeed, favorable l The football game last Sunday in which the varsity defeated the Rensselaer team by the decisive score of 28 to 0 was fast and at times far rougher than necessary. The local team is showing wonderful improvement since Coach Kirk has taken charge of their plays. All the players were green at the game when he was engaged, and therefore, the showing at the last performance speaks well of his coaching abilities, and of the application and attention given by his raw material to football work. The frequently announced game with the Goodland A. A. is again advertised for next Saturday afternoon. The overstate team has always found some excuse for not appearing, but now there is no world series of base ball games in progress and the sick “gag” has been overworked, so that there is a possibility that the aggregation will put in its belated appearance on the date announced. The game will be called at 2:30. Admission 25 cents.
