Ill HARD TRAINING E Quakers Think They Have an - Opportunity of Winning The Contest. FRANKLIN SCORE PLEASES GREENCASTLE MEN WERE ONLY ABLE TO WIN BY THE SAME SCORE BY WI-TICH EARLHAM DEFEATED FRANKLIN TEAM. oot ball practice will start in earn est at Earlham College this afternoon, for the game with DePauw, which is to be played at Greencastle, next Saturday. The defeat of Franklin by De Pauw, by the same score, '24 to 5, as that of the Barlham-Franklin game, has increased the prospects for a Quaker victory over the Methodists. If Earlham should be victorious at. DePauw Saturday, her varsity will have the secondary championship of Indiana, and several Earlham men will loom up big as all-state foot ball stars. Have Secret Practice. . The practice all week at Earlham will be held behind closed gates. No one will be admitted to Reid field who is not a member of the foot ball squad or a student at the college. Any stranger who might appear will be respectfully asked to leave Reid field. ' When the Quakers heard that De Pauw had won from Franklin by the same score that the Earlham aggregation won. the varsity was greatly encouraged. They had expected a large score by DePauw. The plays and formations which were used by Earlham against the squads she has met so far this season, are known to the DePauw coaches. This will necessitate new formations by Earlham and to guard against Da Pauw"s knowledge of these plays, no spectators will bo admitted to Reid field. Coach Thistlethwaite will instruct the squad in new formations all this week. Plan of Campaign. 'While at the University of Wisconsin, the past summer. Coach Thistle thwaite, together with seven other coaches, planned about !." formations and since ho has but few of these this season,, the best will be worked over and played against DePauw. One member of the Earlham varsity at least should make the all state foot ball team this season. This man is Captain Stanley. Stanley was con sidered one of the best centers in the state last year and his work this year has been even better. Haworth, at full back, is also a strong player and considered a possiblo all-state man. AGED MAN IS DEAD Eli Morris, Aged 71 and for ; Years Local Resident, Expired Sunday.

GIVES A REPORT Engineering Expert Presents Views on Water Works Situation. MEETING THIS AFTERNOON REPORT COVERS SEVERAL HUNDRED FOOLSCAP PAGES AND WILL TAKE BOARD LONG TIME TO MAKE ITS STUDY. Dabney H. Maury, the expert engineer of Peoria. 111., is meeting with the board of works and members of the franchise committee from the city council, this afternoon for the purpose of submitting his report on his investigation of the Richmond City Water Works plant. The report covers several hundred pages of foolscap paper and will require close and diligent study of several weeks on the part of members of the board, before any action will be taken towards the purchase of the plant by the city. It would be impossible even to give a short synopsis of the report owing to its great length. However it is said to be most favorable and will have a great influence towards hastening the purchase of the plant. Mr. Maury will probably leave the city this evening for his home. RULE ON DEMURRER The demurrer filed by T. J.

Abe Martin's 1910 Almanack Fresh, Spicy Hoosier Humor

Abe Martin's Almanack for 1910. fresh from the pen of Kin Hubbard, creator of the Brown county philosopher, has arrived and it fulfills the prophecy of Sam BIythe, who writes the introductory, that it will eclipse in all things, the almanac of 1009. "And thai was the best thing of the kind I have ever read," adds BIythe. The work of Hubbard, which has become familiar to lovers of clean humor the country over, is unique in American literature. He has no contemporaries in his special field and his inimitable style makes his work stand out in bold relief. The 1910 Almanack is certainly destined to drive dull care from

LOCAL MINISTER CAUSES FURORE BY HIS ADDRESS

The Rev. J. Cook Graham Created a Sensation When in Stirring Sermon Defends Capital Punishment. HE POINTS TO BIBLE FOR HIS AUTHORITY Title to His Sermon Was "Murder, Suicide and Lynching" Shedding of Human Blood To Be Avenged. In a stirring address on "Murder. Suicide and Lynching," the Rev. J. Cook Graham, pastor of the Fifth Street M. EI church somewhat startled his hearers yesterday morning by taking a radical view in favor of capital punishment. The chief source of argument on which jthe Rev. Graham bases his view, is the passage from the scriptures, which heads: "Whoso shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." According to the speaker, God recognizes the superior importance of the community over the individual, and when one man's blood is shed by another the community shall exercise the authority by visiting punishment on the murderer. He Opposes New View. There has been a marked tendency toward the opposite view by leading thinkers: it being held that capital punishment tends to incite the taking of life instead of reducing the amount of crime. Perhaps the one scriptural reference which constitutes the basis of the contention that capital punishment is a crime, is the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." However, it is contended by the Rev. Mr. Graham that the edict has been improperly interpreted and that the reference concerns the manner of living among men, not applying to the lower order of animals. He declares that the commandment applys directly to lynching, murder, or any form of killing which is actuated by malice or fiendish intent. He asserts that such forms of punishment are not retributive or actuated by an application of justice, like capital punishment, but are the result of motives prompted by extreme passion. The speaker's remarks held the rapt attention of his hearers and his side of the argument was set forth in a very forcible and logical manner. , DENVER BROWN CAMP The regular ret' etlng of Denver Brown Camp, No. 20, U. S. W. V. is this evening. There are several applications for membership to act upon and there wil be several candidates to be mustered in. The committee on reception and arrangements for the Seventh Department Encampment to be held in the city in 1910 will hold a session and take preliminary steps on matters to come before it. The Denver Brown Auxiliary No. 2 will complete their organization this evening. All are requested to come to this meeting. Remember the place at the Court House. Merc Exclusive In Philadelphia. The story is told of an elderly woman, a member of the "inner circle" of Philadelphia society, who was much affected by news of the death of a man of social aspirations which bad not. it is sad to relate, been aided by his well known benevolence. "Mr. Blank was in many respects an admirable character." said the old lady, "and It was a real pity that bis lowly origin made impossible oar recognition of him. Poor, dear, vulgar creature! We could not know him in Philadelphia, but we shall meet him in heaven !" Lipplncott's.

Should Hubbard cease his work with his Almanack of 1MO, Abe Martin would live on forever, but those who read the sayings of the philosopher for next year will hope that his creator will live long and keep at it.

Christian's Injuries Prove Fatal; Georgetown Cancels Schedule

Washington, D. C, Nov. 15. Football claimed another victim Sunday in the death of Archer Christian, the Virginia half back, who was injured in the last minute of play In Saturday's game with Georgetown. His death will probably prove the knell of football, both at his own university and at Georgetown. Already the athletic council of the latter institution has canceled the remaining games of the season's schedule, and similar action is certain at the University of Virginia. Christian had been the center of nearly every one of Virginia's offensive plays. Two or three times he had been knocked out, but he battled manI fully till near the end of the second half. At a signal for a plunge through Georgetown's right tackle the ball was given to Christian. With characteristic dash he sprang at- the Georgetown line. Right tackle had previously proved the vulnerable point in the Glue and Gray phalanx. This time it held like a stone wall. Christian was stopped. His head was flung back and collided with the shoulder of a supporting player of his own team. The two elevens piled up, with Christian at the bottom of the heap. When the players arose the half back was found to be unconscious. He was carried o the side lines by Trainer Lanigan and two of the Virginia substitutes. The game continued but a minute longer, and then the cheering crowds trooped off the field. Christian was taken directly to the operating room of the hospital and Dr. Harvey Cushing of Baltimore, was telephoned' to come at once to perform the operation. He arrived In an hour, and, assisted by Dr. S. H. Watt, made three incisions at the base of the CONGRESS OF MOTHERS TO HAVE ROYAL MEMBER Queen Helena, of Italy, who informed the Board of Managers of the National Congress of Mothers, through the Italian embassy at Washington, that she desires to become a member of the congress. She promised to send a special envoy to the meeting of mothers in Denver next year.

WANT THEM CLOSED Several complaints have been made by patrons of district schools about the risk their children are running, in attending schools where the pupils ha-c been exposed to diphtheria. The patrons of the Clevenger district school in Abington. and also the Ablngton town school, want the schools closed until the danger of exposure, due to several children attending the Phyomouth district school in Union countr has passed. The Phyomouth school Is just across the Wayne county line and the families living on the border lice, visit each other. Dr. King has not deemed it advisable to close the schools as yet. although he has issued instructions that the patrons be very careful not to expose themselves or their children to the disease. SCHOOLS ARE OPEIi The schools of Whitewater, which have been closed for the past week, due to several of the pupils having diphtheria, were opened this morning, at the order of county health officer Dr. J. E. King. Dr. King made an inspection of the throats of all the students and found but one. pupil whom he suspected of having the disease. In the early stage. He made a culture of her throat and sent it to the state board of health for examination.

A TRAVELING MAI1 CAUSES A LAUGH

Plays Little Comedy With a Straw Hat, Large Crowd And Naughty Wind. PRODUCED AT THE DEPOT PLAYFUL BREEZELET REMOVES THE HEAD-PIECE. WHICH EMBARRASSES THE DRUMMER AND AMUSES THE POPULACE. It is not the cream of human kindness to smile at the misfortune of others; much less to laush; very much less to guffaw or allow on mirth to reach the bounds of near exhaustion. Yet to some it is inevitablo as demonstrated by a little comedy at the Pennsylvania depot this morning in which a large crowd, a traveling man, a straw hat and a gentle puff of wind played the principle roles. When a traveling man alighted from a train and with jaunty air and haughty demeanor hurried through the waiting room, the attention of the large crowd present was attracted to his head gear, which was of the summer variety and the crowd with difficulty suppressed a smile. When he reached the sidewalk and set h's suit-case down to wait for the next stretA car, the smile broadened over the featurt-s of those present and finally so appealed to their sense of humor as to cause a hearty laugh. Part the Wind Played. But it remained for the wind to permit their hilarity to reach the guffaw stage. While the traveler was Idly swinging his cane and whistling a well known popular air, unmindful of his surroundings, the weather man. apparently angered at such a gross infringement on all the laws of etiquette, and the fact that anyone should have the unadulterated nervo to prolong the summer season to the middle of November, called to his aid the North Wind, who readily responded with an unusually heavy puff which lifted the straw lid from the head of the traveling man and carried It down the street where it rolled off into tho gutter. In hot pursuit the traveler gave chase, while the crowd stood by and almost doubled ui In a vain endeavor to contain their mirth. It will be left, to the judgment of the casual reader to determine whether the traveling man was mad. Would you be? The mean old weather man Is to blame for it all for whoever saw such weather in November and w hy does he want to tempt persons to wear a head piece which the little goddess of fashion called In weeks ago? AN OLD TIME OUTINQ. Oa With Which itmi Pepr Wee Very Meh Pltm. Samuel Tepys describes a seventeenth century Sunday outing, and the tale lias a very modern ring to it. "Lord's day," be writes, "up, and my wife, a little before 4, to make us ready." And here he records his annoyance that "she was so lone about it." Pepys then goes on: "She ready and taking aome bottles of wine and beer and cold fowle with u. Coach and four horses from London to Epsom, where they arrived at 8 o'clock, drank the waters, ordered dinner, ate it. "A good dinner and were merry. After dinner, "the day being wonderful hot, to sleep. . Then followed a coach to "take the ayre." a shepherd with a little boy reading the Bible "with the forced tone that children do usually read that was mighty pretty. The shepherd "did bless God for that boy. In Epsom town a "poor woman with her milk pair and "did drink our belly fulls of milk." Then to the coach, it being about 7 at night. So pleased was Pepys with his day's results that be records his resolution. "Never to keep a country boose, but to keep a coach and with my wife on a Saturday to go sometimes for a day to this place and then quit to another place, and there Is more variety and as little charge and no trouble as there is in a country house." FLAG ETIQUETTE. wlea Tfcmt Orma the Master t the XatteMl Ttafcleaa. The government regulations provide that on the deaLa of a president la office Its flag shall be displayed at half mast only one day. In memory of the soldiers who lost their Uvea during the civil war. on May 80. Memorial day, each year the United States displays its flag at half staff at all army posts, stations and national cemeteries from sunrise until midday. Immediately before noon a dirge is played by the band or field music, and the national salute of twenty-one guns is fired. At the conclusion of this memorial tribute at noon the flag Is hoisted to the top of the staff and remains there until sunset. The Idea is that the national ensign la too sacred ar. object to be long in mourning for any man or number of men. no matter how exalted, their rank. The flag reversed, with the union down. Indicates distress. The flag on anything but a fort actually besieged should never be displayed between unset and sunrise. When the flag Is to be displayed at half mast it is lowered to that position from the top of the staff. It is hoisted to the top before it is finally lowered. Washington Post. TRIMPE IN THE CITY.
