A Oreat Invention,
We understand that Mr. Kenyon
our townsman, and manager of the
telephone exchange here, has com
pleted a device, and is about to put
into general use, at the proper time
a system of supplying cool air in the
summer time, whereby all public
buildings, stores and dwellings, can
enjoy the benefit of a good supply of
pure, cold air in their rooms in the
hottest part of the summer. This
will be invaluable to everybody, and
what is better, can be supplied at a
low figure. Indeed, for the same
amount it takes now for ice and fans,
that are only used in one or two
rooms, you can have the whole build
ing supplied. No more sleepless
nights through being so hot. The
system can be so regulated that you
can have it as cold as you desire.
Mr. Kenyon has a patent pending,
and as soon as completed will begin
te prepare for the comfort and enjoy
ment of everybody using the system.

Pennsy Again Defeated-
First half, Harvard 5. Pennsylvania
01 second half, Harvard 11, Pennsyl
vania, o. Such is the story of Penn
sylvania s downtall on Franklin field,
Philadelphia, Saturday afternoon. It
was a great game, a great crowd, and
a great surprise. Harvard was to be
beaten, unmercifully beaten. The
victory was to be complete that the
set backs received at the hands of the
Indians and Lafayette would be for
ever forgotten. But alas, dissappoint
ment was again the sturdy Pennsyl
vania's lot. Outplayed is a very
brief way of putting it, but it fully
explains Pennsy's pitiful performance.
In speaking of the different plavers
on the Pennsylvania team Sunday's
Philadelphia Press has the following
to say concerning the work of Barnard
This young man was one of our Nor
mal School's star performers on the
girdiron during the season ot 94 and
'95. His many friends will be pleased
to hear of his success :
"Barnard is used because he is un
doubtedly the best man for the plac
In practices Friday he has distin
guished himself by kicking goals from
behind the line at will when within a
reasonable distance from the goal
posts. He is equally good at place
kicking or drop kicking, Barnard is
practically sure of every attempt at
goal when within the 35-yard line,
and has repeatedly kicked , them a
greater dtstance in scrub games which
he has usually managed to win for the
past two years. He has always been
a sure, consistent player, always out
for practice, rain or sunshine, and
scarcely ever even bruised, conse
quently he is familiar with the duties
of his position and more competent
for the position than any man who
has filled the place since the time of
Jack Minds."
