When the inlercolleghte com mittee on football tnodifijsl the rules a few seasons ago, the inten tion was to provide a style of game which would not prove so danger ous as in the past. The niesent season Ins demonstrated that a fuithcr and a more radical modifi cation is absolutely necessary. Not only more injuries, but 11101 e deaths have resullur this year than in any previous season. Already three impoilant institutions namely, Georgetown University, University of Virginia, and Wc-l Point have cancelled their schedules, on ac count of deaths caused in games. Not only have the heavier college teams suffered but school teams as well have lost many a man by death or serious injury. It would seem to be out f the question that the present style of play be continued. What changes will be wrought by the rules com mittee we cannot foretell, but sure ly they must alter the present game. The representatives of the higher education of a country which holds up its hands in holy horror at the naughty Spaniards and their bull fights, cannot disre gard the slaughter of men in num ber greater than that of the mata dors who fall before Taurus.

Thanksgiving Designated. Governor Edwin S. Stuart on Tuesday issued his proclamation for Thanksgiving for Pennsylvania, appointing Thursday, November 25, the same day as President Taft, in accordance with custom. In his proclamation the Governor says: In accordance with a well-established custom, I, Edwiu S. Stuart, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby set apart Thursday, November 25, 1909, as a day for thanksgiving and prayer. Our people have reason to ac knowledge their dependence upon Almighty God, and to manifest their gratitude for His infinite goodness and mercy. He has teen plenteous in lich gifts and in all the thiugs which make life enjoy able. We have been blessed with peace and plenty, with bountiful harvests, with increising prosperi ty and with freedom from plague, pestilence and famine. Discoveiies in science are check ing toe ravages of disease. Our churches, schools, libraries and ed ucational facilities have stimulated and promoted among us the things of the mind and of the higher life; and yet, amid all our blessing j and advantages, the Lord has kept us mindful of our dependence upon His omnipotent power and of our constant need of His providential care and protection. Let us come together in our homes, churches and places of wor ship and reuder unto God grateful acknowledgment for the manifold blessings He has bestowed upon us, and humbly beseech the continu ance of His divine favor. Let us remember the poor and needy, the widow and the fatherless, the sick and the distressed. Out of our abundance, let us assist the unfor tunate, remembering that the great est virtue is chanty, Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the Stale at the City of Han isburg, this iClh day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine Hundred and nine, and of the Common weahh the one hundred and Ihn ly-fourth Edwin S.

Mine inspectors from all parts of the anthracite region, in conven tion at Potlsville last Saturday, stated that the coal production for the year will be shortened by a half-million tons by reason of the scarcity of water. Some nvues have been suspended and others on short time because steam cannot be kept up. There are but two exceptions to this in the entire anthracite region. One is in the Twentieth district, which centres about Lykens, where the coal production is 70,000 tons greater than for the same penoi last year. The second is in the Nineteenth district, in the immedi ate Pottsvllle zone, where there has been water thus far, and the coal production is normal. But, to the general public, the most interesting phase of thisemer gency is that a flat increase of 25 cents a ton on all sizes of anthra cite coal is contemplated by coal operators because of the immense expense to which they have been put by the drought. The operators declare that during the past four months over $1, coo, 000 has been spent in order to procure water suf ficient to keep the collieries at work, and that damage to the amount cf several hundred thou sand dollars has besn doue to boil ers by reason of the necessity of using the strong sulphur water from the mines, which acts as a corros ive. There are now over a score of "water trains" at work in the re gion and the wages of all of these crews is just so much additional expense in the cost of mining coal. Hundreds of miles of new pipe lines have also been laid, while ad ditional water rights have been procured wherever possible. With all these efforts the Reading and many of the other companies are only able to keep many of the col lieries at work by buying water from independent companies. . . ,.

What is said to be the one em phatic hit of the metropolitan sea son in theatricals is "The Blue Mouse", Clyde Fitch's adaptation from the German, which, with the largest cast ever seen in a farce, comes to the Columbia Theatre next Friday night Nov. 19th. The play was intended for an antidote to melancholy, which purpose it is said to serve so well that the Lyric Theatre, where the Messrs. Shu- bert produced the play, was packed nightly all last season. Novelty is the keynote cf every Fitch comedy and into "The Blue Mouse" he has injected not only characters you seldom meet yet know are true to life, but many situations that are far away from anything ever bfore attempted. "The Blue Mouse is a really charming dancer who "Salomes" at a New York variety theatre. Yet there is no attempt to make the audience Ftep into her life, as it were, or swallow disagreeable pills of suggestiveness. Like "The Blue Mous'?," although she nibbles at coals without being burnt, the play is clean and at no time is the audience asked to solve a problem or even think seriously. It is the purpose of the author to create laughter and he is said to have sue ceeded in a way that is sure to make his latest play the most phe nonrenal tarce America has ever seen. The piece ran for over a year in Germany and is still holding the boards there as well as in France. It has also been presented in Aus tria, Sweden and Denmark, and for the past three months at the Garrick Theatre, Chicago, coming here with the same cast and pro duction. In the cast are Millicent Evans, who plays "The Blue Mouse," Samuel Edwards, Guy D'Eunery, Lily Hall, Earle Mitchell, Gordon Mendelssohn, Ralph Morgan, John E. Hynes, Ruth 'Rose, John S. Weick, Edward Craven, How ard Morgan, Marie Gerard, Birdie Luttrell and fifteen others. The last is said to be the largest ever seen in a farce. Flag Salute for Schools. With the idea of fostering a pa triotic spirit in the school children of the county, Superintendent Evans has decided to institute a flag salute in the public schools. A flag to be made by the girls of the various schools will be hung behind the teacher's desk, and each morning the pup'ls will stand up aud repeat the following verse: O! starry flag, from heaven's colors born To light the way of liberty for men To curb the tryant, break the slav ish chain And sound the call of freedom o'er the sarth, Rise! Rise on heaven's breeze to heaven's dome Unfurl thy gloriouscolorsiu the sky ! Inspire anew in every heart and mind A patriot love of truth and home and native land. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS?
