CARBONDALE BEATEN.
feat Taey Outplayed Moat of tha Seraaton
, - .... Taam. -. , .
Atthouch the Alomnl Foot Ball team
did not win from Scranton Business
college Saturday afternoon, tbey put up
T such an excellent game that they do not
' feel down-hearted at the result They
k had prepared to play the Bualneaa col
lege, but there, were very few men on
the -vlstlng- team who belonged to that
institution. Indeed, the beat players,
and those who did the atar work, were
"composed of outsiders. Among these
"were Zanff. Walsh, McQouldrlclc and
othera of the Scranton Bicycle club
, team, so it was aa much a game against
i them aa against the Business college.
The day waa an Ideal one for the
sport, and a large crowd took advan-
t tare of the weather and went to the
game. The attendance was probably
' the largest of the season.
Bcranton kicked ofT and the runner
waa downed In an Instant. Then slow
ly, but surely, .the! , Carbondale boya
pushed their heavy opponents down the
: field. The gains were not long.- but
they were constant and It looked aa If
we should soon score. But, after push
ing It half way down the field, Scran-
- ton 'received the ball on downs. Then
' It waa that the work of their borrowed
players came In. Their Interference
waa good, and making a long sweep
around the ends, they made big gains.
However, they had had the ball but a
.' few minutes, when time was called.
The next half Scranton seemed to
have worn off her dullness and started
' into the game with a dash. Time and
again they circled the ends for big
gains. This was the only way they
'could,' as the center was like a atone
wall.
(When on their 6-yard, line, Carbondale
received the ball and at once began
to push It out -of the dangerous posi
tion. However, they loBt the ball on a
fumble and then,. with a mighty push,
' Scranton had the ball over the line.
1 Steel kicked the goal; the score stand
ing 6-0. This was the only score made
' in the game, the game ending with the
ball near the .center of the Held.
All the Carbondale men played a good
game, Brennan, Crane and Korbes
probably excelling. The tackling of
Crane at full back was clean and hard,
and he deserves much credit for his
' work. The game', 'which otherwise
would have been moat exciting and In
teresting, was somewhat .spoiled by the
constant wane-Una; on both sides.
Next Saturday the Alumni team goes
to Httston', while the High School team
will contest against the Wilkes-Barre
high school. This will be a good game
. and should bring out a crowd.

Ctnaan, waa in towrt Saturday. Mr.

Mr. Grimes, who is one of .the most

END OF A CHARACTER..
Man Who Was Prepared for War Dies
Without Seeing One
Sears. Mich, Nov. 17. The death of
Con Dwyer, of this village, removes
one of the most eccentric characters of
the state. His dwelling presented a
strange appearance. Predicting war,
he had stored away for the future thirty-nine
barrels of flour, which, when
piled up, could be measured almost by
the cord; boxes of yeast and other gro
ceries, worth many dollars.
When he found he could not live he
revealed the hiding places of his wealth.
Two hundred dollars In gold was found
beneath the cellar, paper money was
sewed In an old vest and in a bed quilt,
the money In all amounting to over $500.
Dangerous weapons were found In all
parts of the house, daggers and fire
arms, showing he was afraid of being
robbed. Expensive and elegant clothing-
was found, whioh has been stored
away for years.

be gone about three months. "I will
first go to Guadalajara, Mexico-," he
said, "to study a submerged city in
Lake Chapala, and 'mountain Idiots'
Inhabiting the mountains near by.
This is a race of dwarfs which has
been studied very little and my atten
tion Is to try to ' determine whether
these people are racially small or have
become so by disease. I will have the
assistance of Archbishop Gillow, an au
thority on the dwarf races. In the In
terior of Guatemala the pygmies are
said to live In caves and holes In the
ground and speak languages not known
to white men." --

THE MARCHING STEP.
How the Armies of Europe Show I'p I
Comparison.
Comparative statistics showing the
lengtha of atcpa and their number per
minute, furnish a good basis for esti
mating movements of the various Eu
ropean armies while on the march. The
Russian soldier makes from 112 to 11C
steps of 28 Inches each per minute; the
Italian soldier, 114 steps of 31 inches
each; the German, 115 of the same
length; the Austrian, 115 of 2$H Inches
each, and the French 120 of the same
length.
Theoretically the Russian covers 200
feet a minute, the Austrian 280, the
French and Italian 295 and the German
soldier 300. Commenting upon these
figures, Le Temps states that In France
It Is proposed to diminish the length of
the military step In order to Increase
the endurance of the soldiers. In or
der to do this the length of step should
be In proportion to the helghth of the
man; In order to prevent untimely fa
tigue' it should not exceed three-sevenths
of the helghth. This would cor
respond to a length of step of 27
Inches, as the average height of the sol
dier is 5 feet 5 Inches. The present step
of 28 inches would, according to this,
be proper for an average height of 6
feet 9 Inches. It Is curious that the
greatest . endurance In marching Is
shown by the Turkish soldier, although
no statistics have been taken nor ex
periments made as to what length of
step is most proper for their height.
Choctaw Trcatoa Law.
Guthrie, O. T Nov. 17. There Is
great excitement in the Choctaw na
tion over the final passage of the bill
making it treason, punishable by death,
to sell land to a non-citizen, to attempt
In any way to curtail the powers of
the Choctaw .government, or even to
talk up or urge a change of government,
or the allotment of lands, or opening
of the country to settlement.
This law will stop all meetings or
conventions in favor of treating with
the government.

MICHIGAN'S HOLY DEER.
Supposed Halo Ia Found to Be a BIcachod
Human Skull.
Atlanta, Mich., Nov. 17. A atory Is
told In these parts about a big buck deer
with a white halo around his head. A
hunter from Clyde. O., was near enough
to see a white ball on the buck's head
between the antlers, but he had heard
the atory about the divinely protected
deer and did not shoot him.
Many refused to believe the story,
thinking it a bit of superstition, until
last week, when a hunter on his way
from McKinley to this place, brought In
a pair of monster antlers. Impaled
between them by several prongs was
the skull of a full grown human being.
The ghastly empty ey sockets were
iasieneu so tigntly as to resist all ef
