The cold wave struck Rensselaer Tuesday, and the mercury Wednesday,* Thursday and yesterday mornings registered from 12 to 14 above zero. The weather is now moderating somewhat. “We heard an old codger remark the other day,” says an exchange, “that a young man will find carving a turkey for the first time and courting his best girl very likely to resalt in the same thing—he will have both of them in his lap before he gets through.” At Alexandria.

Work on the Division street sewer has been delayed this week by bad weather and the encountering rock between Harrison and Washington streets. About six inches of this rock has to be blasted out to put the sewer down to tbe proper depth, and the process is nece3Barilly slow. The jury in the case of Truman Beam of Valparaiso, charged with strangling to death his nineteen-year-old sweetheart, Martha Lawrence, disagreed Tuesday at Hammond and was discharged by Judge Tuthill. The jury had the case since last Friday. The last ballot stood eleven for hanging and one for acquittal. The case will be tried again in December. The evidence presented was largely circumstantial.

A Limited Edition. There is a paper published in London called the Anti-Top Hat. It depends for its circulation not upon subscribers,, but upon the will of an eccentric old man who hated tbe conventional form of headgear with a hatred which he carried beyond the grave. He fought the “stovepipe” hat while alive, and when be died he left his nephew $2,000 a year on condition that he edit and publish a monthly paper devoted to ridicnltng the “top hat.” The nephew accepted the legacy and the responsibility and issues bis paper regularly, though he confines each edition to three copies, one for himself and one for each of the old man’s executors.

A good story is told of John Astley, a fellow student with Sir Joshua Reynolds in London and in Rome. While walking in tbe Campagna Reynolds and some other students took off their coats, but for a long time nothing would persuade young Astley to take his off. At last be wss prevailed on to do so, and tbe cause of his unwillingness to comply with the wishes of his friends was then revealed by an oil sketch of a waterfall painted on the back of the artist’s waistcoat

Another Chapter of Accident* In the Football Field. From the Fowler Leader’s re. port of the Oxford*Boswell high school game: On the last play in the half Parker, OxfordT halfback, had his leg broken jnst above the ankle, and Lawson was substituted. t t In the Remington-Lafayette football game at the latter place on Thursday of last week, three of the the Lafayette players were quite badly hurt, Mike Linehan’s leg being broken midway between the ankle and knee so badly that one piece of bone almost bursting through the flesh. Another player g6t a bacHy wrenched shoulder, while still another had the muscles of one leg badly bruised and strained. t t Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 14 In the DePauw-Indiana football game here to-day, Nysewander of the DePanw team had his collar bone broken. t t Columbus, 0., Nov. 16.—Earl Neff, sixteen, of Kingston, 0., was brpught to the State Hospital for Insane Sunday as the result of a kick on the head received while playing football a month ago at Frankfort.

James Smith, of the former team, had three ribs broken and was injured internally. t t Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 14. Indiana played DePauw here today. Notwithstanding Indiana has proved to be stronger than for recent years, DePauw entered the game confident of victory. Five hundred rooters accompanied them. Indiana was in good condition. Smith, right-tackle, is out of the game for good this season on account of injuries. ft Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 14. —Ray Booth, a resident of this city, was badly injured in a game of football between two local teams here today. He was taken from the bottom of a pile of players and removed to a hospital. The lower part of his body is completely paralyzed. ■ t t Bloomington, 111., Nov.—Robert Sinclair, a student of the normal school, was probably fatally injured in a football game at Pontiac and the state normal university. His spine was injured. At midnight he had not regained consciousness and the attending physicians anticipated a fatal termination. t t Danville, Ind., 14 v - Parental objections is playing havoc with the Brownsburg football team and it is likely that the team will be compelled to disband because of lack of material. It was necessary to abandon two games that have been scheduled because enough men could not be found to fill the places. t t Princeton, N. J., Nov. 16. Most of the Tiger football warriors have returned to Princeton. With the exception of Kafer, who has a badly wrenched Bhoulder, all of the players are in good shape after their hard game. t t Chicago, Nov. 16.—After what every member of the team says was the hardest game the Purple has played this season. The Northwestern University football men remained in their rooms in an effort to recover from the bruises they sustained in the contest. Every man who went into the game was injured in some way, and some of them will be kept out of practice for several days, and may not be able to go into the Wisconsin game next Saturday. Captain Fleager is perhaps in the worst condition. He was struck in the head near the beginning of the second half and took the time limit to recover. He went into the game again and in a short time before the end reoeived a second blow which compelled him to retire. He was confined to his room yesterday. Cotton is also badly bruised and

He can hardly see out of one eye and his ear is swollen to abnormal proportion. His doctor has ordered him to quit the game as- there is danger of blood poisoning. Shocn, the hardest line-bitter, did not turnout for practice Wednesday and despite the weakened condition of the team, it is possible that Coach Brewer will not allow him to play. Gipe and Shank are still! nursing injuries received in. the - Tuscola game and Doudlcan is » having trouble with his- knee,, which he injured while playings against the Louisville M. Y.
