Kicks for Goal.
Tho football eleven of the Sixty
ninth company. reputed as the
strongest, football aggregation among
the soldiers at Foil Monroe, proved
easy for the Phoebus Athlcctls on
tho Klondike gridiron yesterday at
tornpon. The Athletics simply walk?
ed away with tho artillery man and
the soldiers never had a chance to
score during tin? two halves ot
twenty-five minutes each. Elve
touehdowus and three goals w re i
banging to the belts of the Athletics ?
when tho battle ended?the final
score being 28 for Phoebus and I
nothing for tho Sixty-ninth.
Almost as soon as the whistle
of HeI? reo Judd announced the open?
ing of the game. Hrlggciiuin carried'
the leather over the artillerymen's
goal an 1 Gadol kicked goal. Moore
i. on duplicated the work of Drigge
tuan and Gadol again distinguished '
himself with a diftlcull kick for goal.
This ended the scoring In the flrsl '
half.
The second half opened with
Phoebii? rushing things. Carroll
made the first touclidown, to be fol?
lowed by Dally and then Handle.
?aJ?l missed two goals In this half
ntl(| the battle ended with lite score
2S to nothing in favor of the Ath

During the game Phoebus played
every nit in her of the team,
int. Judd, of Newport News, was
the referee, .loo Curtis the umpire,
and Mr. Segard the chief time?
keeper, with Mr. Webster as chief
linesman.
A fair crowd witnessed the e in?
test.

sage from "The View of the Present

"Out of every corner of tho woods
and gllnncs they came creeping foortho
upon theyr hatitlcs, for thcyr leggos
could not lieare them. They looked
like iiuatomyes of death; they spake
like ghnstcs crying out of thoyr graves;
rhey did eat of the dead carrions, and
yf they fotiudo a idotteof water cresses

It is very singular how the fact of n
man's death often seems to give poo
pie a truer Idea of his character,
whether for good or for evil, than
they have ever possessed while be was
living ami acting among men. Death
is so genuine a fact that It excludes
falsehood or betrays its emptiness. It
is a touchstone that proves the gold
ami dishonors the baser metal. Could
tho departed, whoever he may be, re?
