FOOT BALL AS PLAYED TO-DAY. i
So far as the brutality of foot ball is
concerned there can no longer be two |
sides to the question, writes Edward |
‘W. Bok in November number of Ladies’
Home Journal. The most uncompro- |
mising advocates of the game have |
conceded this fact. If one game of |
college foot ball differs from another it
is purely and simply in its degree of |
brutality. How disastrous and fatal |
were these displays last year will be!
. brought home more directly to people |
when carefully computed figures it is |
shown that forty-six deaths resulted |
last year from collegiate games of foot
ball within a short period of four |
months. No record has, of course, |
been kept of broken ears, lost visions
and other disfigurements. As a mat-
ter of fact, there is no sport practiced
by any civilized nation which can
‘equal a record of forty-six deaths in|
. four months.
~ When we regard the effect upon the
players we meet a condition of things
equally serious. Leaving the physical
injuries entirely out of the question,
the game of foot ball as it is played to-
' day, is an absolute detriment to the
mental developement of those who
participate in it. I have, during the
past six months, been at some pains
to carefully inquire into the class stand-
ings of the men who comprise college
foot ball teams, and the results were
interesting. In two cases I found that
the majority of the foot ball players
stood among the lowest in their classes,
while in the other two instances this
same fact was true of one-half of the
members of the teams.
Furthermore, the so-called ‘fame’’
. ‘which is bestowed upon these college
foot ball players is directly injurious. |
Their lives are exploited, their portraits |
are printed, their every movement is
chronicled until the subjects are made |
to feel a prominence which is at once!
preposterous and absurd. Before a
boy is hardly out of his fitting school |
he is spoiled with a misplaced import- |
ance of himself and a mistaken ‘‘fame’’ |
the evil effects of which he carries with |
him through his life.
Nor is the effect on other students a
wholesome one, -It requires a strongly |
balanced mind, such as is rarely given
to a growing boy, for a young man to |
al a craving for knowledge when |
all around him he hears nothing but |
foot ball talk, and sees the men next to |
him become the talk of the country. |
It strikes for him, at the very outset of |
his career, a false note.
, INDEUENDENT NEWSPAPERS, |
The fleld of American journalism is |
filled to overflowing with partisan or-
-gans. Democratic and Republican, |
which are supporters and defenders |
rather of their respective party and its |
- leaders than of its principles, says the |
Philadelphia Ledger. The political |
organ is known by its ready leap into
the.breach to uphold its party banner |
in any cause, for any leader, good or
bad. The genuine political organ’s |
mission is to make that which is black |
to appear white, if done by its own
party, and that which is white appear
black, if done by the opposition. The |
wise, fair presentation of political |
_ principles, their manful Joa Rn ame;
is no part of the real organ’s work;
has but one maxim for its Bly
which is? The Party, Right or Wrong. |
The best political educators at pres-
ent are those independent newspapers :
which, without prejudice, and in all
possible - fairness, present to their |
readers the actual conditions of poli-
tics, and honestly comment upon it |
and the acts of the leaders. But they |
letters will please say they are adver-
| principle and with dignity of treat.

| ment. For the reason that, with most Bow He Blew VEAL seus me ae
‘rare exceptions, all Americans read
| the newspaper, the newspaper should
' be wisely and honestly written.
ACTIVITY IN BITUMINOUS COAL.
The eastern market for soft coal is
reported active, and farther improve-
ment both in the volume of business
and prices is looked for. A shortage
‘of coastwise vessels is causing some
‘delay in shipments. Good results are
| expected from the recent joint con-
| vention of miners and operators at
| Pittsburg. In Ohio the trade is very
| active, and large quantities of coal are |
. being shipped to the lakes. Unusuoal
activity is also reported in Indiana and
Illinois. The demand froin the north-
. west is the heaviest in years, resulting
from the improvement in business in
' that section. | The demand for coke in.
the Connellsville region is keeping
' pace with the market for coal. Chicago
{reports a very brisk demand for soft
| coal of all kinds and that prices are
| being closely adhered to. At Colum-
bus a great rush of coal to the lakes is
‘noted and the movement is expected
'to continue to December 1. Material
improvement is reported in West Vir-
| ginia, particularly along the line of the |
Norfolk and Western railroad. The
shortage of cars is pronounced in the
Pittsburg and Ohio . regions. Some of
the Pennsylvania mines are without
cars four days at a time, and none of
the mines has had the shipping facili- |
! ties it has required. In consequence’
| prices have been aclvanced on: some
| grades.

On the night of Oct. 27, 1864, Cush
ing slipped away from the blockading
~ fleet and steamed np the river tgward
the wharf, a dozen miles distant, where
the great ram lay. The Confederates
were watchful to guard against surprise,
for they feared lest their foes should try
to destroy the ram before she got a
chance to come down and attack them
again io the sound. She lay under the
guns of a fort, with a regiment of troops
ready at a moment's notice to turn out
and defend her. Her own guns were

was protected by a great boom of loge
thrown out roundabout, of which. last
defense the Federals knew nothing.
Cushing went up stream with the uot
most caution, and by good Inck passed
unnoticed a Confederate lookout below |
the ram.
About midnight he made his assault.
Steaming quietly on through the black
~ water and feeling his way cantiously to-
ward where he knew the town to be, he
finally made out the boom of the Alber-
marle through the night, and at once
drove at her. He was almost upon her
before he was discovered. * Then the
crew and the soldiers on the wharf open-
ed fire, and at the same moment he was
brought to by the boom, the existence of
which he had not kncwn. The rifle balls
were singing about him as he stood erect
guiding his launch, and be heard the
bustle of the men aboard the ram and
the noise of the great guns as they were
‘got ready. Backing off he again went
. all steam ahead, and actually surged
over the slippery log of the boom.

and controlling her by voice and signal,
while in his bands he kept the ropes
which led to the torpedo. As tha boat
slid forward over the boom he brought

it, almost at the same time that the
pivot gun of the ram, loaded with grape,
; was fired point blank at him, not ten

At once the ram settled, the launch
cinking at the same moment, while
Cushing and his men swam for their
lives. Most of them sank or were cap-
tured, but Cushing reached midstream.
Hearing something splashing in the

that it was one of his crew. He went to

BABY AS SECURITY.
A Mother Takes This Method to Secure
Her Husband's Relief,
A baby was left as security for a $5
fine at the West Chicago avenue police
station the othér day. The police, how-
ever, refused to accept it, and it was
taken to St. Vincent's asvlum. The case
was that of Frank Selig, alias Lally,
of 881 West Chicago avenne, who was
arrested on a fisorderly charge and was
fined $5.
Mrs. Selig, carrying her baby in her
arms, was a spectator at the trial, and
when her husband was taken down
stairs she followed to have a last word
with bim.
It is said Selig persuaded his wife to
offer the baby to the clerk of the conrt
as security for the fine. Mrs. Selig made
the offer, and when it was refused 1
the child on the desk and started
leave the courtroom. An officer follow-
ed and gave the child to her again. Mrs.
Selig then went into the police station,
next door, and left the child on a bench.
Attention was called to it some time
later by its cries, and then Desk Ser-
-geant Charles Spencer remembered Mrs.
Selig had been in the station with the
child in her arms.

taken to the asylum. Selig’'s fine was
afterward staid, and he was released. —

A Useful Invention.
The latest medical invention is a
small but intricate machine not mare
than 14 inches wide and of the same
_ height for the purpose of registering the
pulsations of the heart. The inventor
of the new register, which is looked
upon by medical men who have exam-
ined it and seen it work as marvelous,
is a German clockmaker, residing in
the upper portion of the city. The pul-
-sations are registered on a small slip of -
paper which moves throngh two wheels
in a manner similar to that of a type-
writer. As the blood flows from the
heart a delicate metallic pen, very sharp |
and filled with ink, makes an upward
stroke, the throb, accompanied by the
flow of blood toward the heart, causing
| the needle to make a downward stroke. |
