——The Thank:giving day foot-ball
game between State College and Dick-
inson, which was to have been played
yesterday afternoon, at Altoona, was
forfeited by the latter. Dickinson’s re-
fusal to play after the town had been
billed and many seats sold was about as
contemptible a piece of business as we
have heard of for some time. The teams
would undoubtedly have made money
at Altoona us a crowd of five thousand
people was oxpected at the cricket
grounds to watch the struggle.
Up ar rHE AcapeMmy.—The ins true-
ors at the Academy do not pro pose
that the improvements shall be confined
alone to the buildings and grounds of
the institution, and they are introduc-
ing new methods of work that cannot
but inspire the students to higher ut-
tainments. Last Friday, after Mr.
Swoope’s talk on Shakespear, which was
really very fine, buta little over the
heads of most of thescholars, the visi-
tors were invited into the Calisthenic |
room, where a pleasant surprise was in
store for those who had not given the
subject a thought. Physical culture is
one of the features of school life to-day
and one is very apt to think there is
more physical than mental develope-
ment from the columns of foot-ball re-
codrs that are published every day. No
one has ever denied that a certain
amount of muscular training was not
essential to the higher developement ot
man and Friday’s drill fully convinced
many that grace of motion and quick-
ness of action are not the only benefits
derived from a well directed Calisthenic
drill. Miss Hughes, the teacher, has
been very successful in the short time
she has had charge of the department
and if some of the lovers of beauti-
ful cheeks and bright eyes,would witness
one or two of these exercises, we feel
confident that the Academy would re-
ceive the case of indian clubs and chest
weights, which it needs so badly.

Mart Kimble’'s Remarkable Experience
in the Pike County Woods.
Mart Kimble, one of the famous
Kimble family of hunters, has just re-
turned last week from a week’s hunt
with Mose Westbrook at Blooming
Grove, down in Pike county, with the
queerest bear story told in Pike or
Wayne counties for many a day.
One morning during his week’s hunt,
Mart says, it was very foggy, and he
had taken an early start to get to a run-
way where he expected to knock over a
deer. He could not see more than
twenty feet ahead of him, and sudden-
ly out of the fog loomed the dim form of
a big bear. Bruin had his fore feet
planted on a log, over which he was
peering through the haze. Mart looked
twice to make sure of his game, and
then blazed away. The smoke from
his gun deepened’ the fog, and when it
cleared away the hunter was more than
a little surpised to see the bear still in
statuesque pose on the log and still
peering out into the fog bank. Mart
pales up and gave the bear his second p
arrel, and when the agitated fog™set-
tled again the hunter was almost knock-
ed off his feet by the sight of the bear
standing as before.
Mart is not in the habit of shooting
mors than once when he fires to bring
down bird or beast and the persistence
of this Pike county bear in standing
there as if nothing had happened was so
unusual, that Mart made up his mind
that he had been wasting his powder
on a bear’s ghost. He determined to
try another shot, and if that failed to
tumble the bear, to leave those woods
on the double quick. So he blazed away
again. When he looked she:d after
the third shot the bear was not to be
seen.
Mart walked up to the log, and,
peeking over it, discovered the mystery
of what he thought had been two in-
effective shots. Instead of one bear,
three dead bears lay stretched out be-
bind the log. Mart explains the presence
of three bears on the theory that they
were coming throngh the wcods 1n
single file. As the first bear fell dead at
Kimble’s first shot, the hear behind
him took his place at the log, and was
in turn succeeded by the third bear,
“If there had been another bear to
get up on that log after I shot the third
time,”” said Mart. “I would have dug
for home the next minute, and I'd have
believed tomy dying day that I had
been shooting at spook bear.
CTA,
The “Nigger” in the Cellar.
When the Republicans of Dauphin
county nominated their ticket some
weeks ago they ornamented the tail end
with Dr. W. H. Jones for coroner. Dr.
Jones is an intelligent and respectable
colored man* The Republican state
ticket had a majority of 2,388 in Dau-
phin county and Dr. Jones was defeated
by a majority of 86 votes.
This is a fair illustration of how the
Republican party treats the men who
win its victories. Nor need we go
away from hom for illustrations. A
few years ago J. P. Young was nomin-
ated for the office of director of the poor.
But the politicians of his own party
swarmed around him and annoyed and
bulldozed him until he was forced off
the ticket. This county has been giv-
ing Republican majorities since 1834,
and what share of the spoils has the col-
ored man received? John Barks is
court house janitor. There the list
ends. The cellar is good enough for
EERE
What Are Theosophists.
With how much of the Nature-search
inz, God-seeking science of the ancient
Aryan and Greek mystics, and of the
powers of modern spiritual mediamship.
does the Theosophical Society agree?
Our answer is: With it all. But if
asked what it believes in, the reply will
be: “As a body—nothing.”” The socie-
ty, as a body, has no creed, for creeds
are but theshells of uuspiritual knowl-
edge; and Theosophy in 1ts fraition is
spiritual knowledge itself —the very es-
sence of philosophical and theistic en-
quiry. Visib.e representative of Uni-
versal Theosophy, it can be no more
sectarian than a Geographical Society,
which represents universal geographic
exploration without caring whether the
explorers bv oae creed or another. The
religion of the Society is an algebraical
equation, in which, so long as the sign
of equality is not omitted, each member
is free to substitute quantities of his
own, which accord better with climate
and other exigences of his native land,
with the idiosyncrasies of his own
people, or even with his own. Having
no accepted creed, our Society is very
ready to give and take, to learn and
teach, by practical experimentation, as
opposed to mere passive credulous ac-
ceptance of enforced dogma. Itis will-
ing to accept every result claimed by
any school or system that can be logic-
ally and experimentally demonstrated.
Conversely, it can take nothing on mere
faith, no matter by whom the demand
may be made.
Our members, as individuals, are free
to stay outside or inside any creed they
pleas, provided they do not pretend
that none but themselves shall enjoy the
privilege of conscience, and try to force
their opinions upon the others. The
Theosophical Society tries to act upon
the wisdom of the old Buddhistic axiom:
“Honour thine own faith, and do not
slander that of others.”
Broader and far more universal 1n
its views than any existing mere scien-
tific Society, it has, plus science, its be-
lief in every possibility and the deter-
mined will to penetrate into those un-
known spiritual regions which exact
science proclaims that its votaries have
no business to explore. And it has one
quality more than any region in that it
makes no difference between Gentile,
Jew or Christian. It is in this spirit
that the Society has been established
apon the footing of Universal Brother-
hood.

What a High Tariff 1s Doing.
From the Boston Post. :
Within the past fortnight an ex-chair-
man of the Republican national commit-
tee, B. F. Jones. has compelled his fif-
teen hundred workmen to take less
wages and work longer hours. Nied-
ringhaus, the tin-plate ex-Congressman.
still refuses to accept the price list of the
Amalgamated Union. The Oliver &
Roberts Wire Company, of Pittsburg,
reduced wages 20 per cent. last week ;
and among the millionaire Pennsylvania
iron masters, including Mr. Andrew
Carnegie himself. to whom Massachu-
setts pays a large tribute, there is a gen-
eral movement against union rates.
Here in Massachusetts it is not so much
a matter of reduction of wages as of
stopping wages altogether.

Books, Magazines, Etc.
——
Tue New England Magazine for December |
makes its appearance in a delicate white cover
with gilt lettering. It is particularly well il-
Justrated and all the arti:les are interesting,
without being slavishly Christmasy. The
stories are better than those in some of the
bigger magazines, whiciirun to names and
namesonly ; and one by Herbert D. Ward,
called *“Only an Incident” is as true and pathe-
tie as anything by Gogol or Tolstoi. 1t is an
analysis of emotions under the infiuence of
peculiar circumstances. A number of new ar-
tists are finding a channel for their talent in
this progressive magazine, and they are mak-
ing it the equal of any magazine on the new-
stands ia this respect.
Rapip Trassit iN THE Grear Crrirs.—The
letters of General Sherman now being publish-
ed in the Cosmopolitan are unique ; in fact, so
far as the writer knows, they are the only let
ters ever written in the midst of hostilities by
a great general to his daughter. The second
and last paper, which appears in the Decem.
ber Cosmopolitan, is unique in another respect
—that it is illustrated by a man who sat at
Sherman’s mess table during the campaigns
of which he writes to his daughter. This most
famous of war artists, Theodore R. Davis, is
still alive, and supplements ,the Sherman let-
ters by a very interesting paper of his own and
a great number of sketches which he made at*
the time. Perhaps the article in the Decem-
ber number which will be read with tne widest
interest that on Rapid Transit, by Captain
Lewis M. Haupt, i¢ illustrated by every con-
ceivable suggestion that has been made upon

new novel, and another southern article is by

says

When Prince
George recovers, as every one prays and
trusts be may, there is likelyto bea
popular demonstration quite on the lines
of that which greeted his father’s restor-
ation to health. This will be in large
part due to a personal liking for George.
Very probably he would have attract-
ed no attention whatever in a private
walk of life,and, even ns Princes go,
he might not have been much thought
of had he not shone out so by contrast
with his elder brother (known as ¢*Col-
lars and Cufls.”)
Seven or eight years ago I printed in
these columns a statement made to me
from a high quarter that this simpleton,
now called Duke of Clarence, would not
be allowed to marry, and that the plan
was to have the line descend through
George. I stil believe this to be the
real explanation of bis baving reached
his 28th year without marrying.
But what has been brought even more
to public attention is the fact thatf
Eddy and George should die without
children their eldest sister would come
to be Queen of England and ber hus-
band, the Duke of Fife, would be some
sort of a Duke Prince Consort and the
father of a new line ot British sov-
ereigns. &

A Properly Dressed Man.
According to the best fashion papers the well dressed
man of to-day wears a three, or four buttoned, cutaway
sack coat, single breasted vest, buttoned slightly higher
than they have been worn during the sumwer and
_ trousers of medium width. In colors, the different
shades of brown are selling fastest, though very fashiona-
ble people are wearing many light fabrics.
Hats are large in shape, and lower in the crown: than
they have been for some time, with rather wide, slightly
curling brims.
Black and brown being the most popu-
lar colors for both business and dress.
Tn scarfs : delicate shades of blue and brown are very
much worn, but, for those who can wear them, the bril-
liant reds add great beauty when worn with the popu-
lar wood brown suitings. The large puffs, ascots and
four in hands are popular, though English bows are
- much worn by those who profess to be leaders.
In collars the self rolling medium heighth styles are
proper while cuffs are linked, with square corners.
The above is a complete description of what you should
wear if you care to be in style, and why not be dressed
properly when it costs just as little. Go to M. Fauble’s
Rochester Clothing House and you can get all of these
articles for the wonderfully small sum of $14,00. Amaz-
ing ain’t it ? True nevertheless !
