THE FOOTBALL SITUATION.
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

DROUGHT MAY MEAN DEARER
COAL.
Talk of Flat Raise of Twenty-Five
Cents a Ton Owing to Immense
Outlay.
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.

"THE BLUE MOUSE."
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.

No Deficit From the Fair.
A meeting of the officers of the

by the exceptionally large exhibits,
the association's finauces would
