NORTHERN Italy was devastated bya cyclone in which sixty people were killed. Telegraph and telephone lines were levelled to the ground for miles, N.. GENERAL conditions of a favorable outlook in business circles for the ap- proaching Fall are pronounced very satisfactory and this optimistic pre- diction seems to be well founded. Everybody has a part in a general cheer up in talking about it and work- ing for it. eN. THE striking G '1' R employees and their sympathisers did not increase their friends or strengthen their case by the onslaught on train men at Brockville last Saturday morning. The 41st Regiment had to be called out to quiet the disturbance. A cause worthy of support requires no such exhibitione of rowdyism which can only eventuate in one result viz dis- comtorture and disastrous results to those engaging in it. With laws framed as they now are for conciliatory settlements a stern hand should deal with those who wilfully destroy property and injure life or limb. NN Now that the annual special plead- ing is beginning to materialize asking for increased favors from the Domin- ion Government try various manufact- uring concerns the said Government, should ask them to take a rest: The everlasting changing of tariffstoplease the whim and fancy of somebody de- siring larger profits should be closed off as the increase comes out of peo- ple less able to pay than monopolistic manufacturers are able to do without it. No law should be framed to make a few millionaires at the expense of other classes of the community— whose rights and privileges should not be lost sight of. NN Iris somewhat amusing to witness the attempts made by a few to prove that prize fights and strenuous ath- letics belong to the same class. In the first instance the primary and only object is to get in the knock out blow,i w th' lit l t e regard whether re- sults are fatal or not. Foot -ball, la- crosse, etc., although sometimes dis- graced by a few who rough it, has its chief end placing the sphere between the stakes. The rougher and mete brutal the sample of so-called manly art the more cheers and applause, while the Man who wantonly assaults bis opponent in athletics is black -list- ed and brought to book before the magistrate. There is as much differ- ence between the two as there is be tween day and night and the man who sets up to make comparisons has a big job on his hands. R. B.

Niagara Falls ''on The (home (From The Berlin Telegraph) Niagara Valls 4. Brucefield I. Such was the result of the final game played here last Friday night for the W. It. A,, Intermediate champ- ionship, Anda splendid game of foot- ball it was, tao, There was a large crowd present, the official number of paid admissions being given at 515. Several hundred of thecae came with the sphere -kickers from Niagara Falls and Brucefeld. Both teams displayed an unusual amount of ginger end used a greatdeal of beadwork, They played a splendid combination game, which was an add- ed feature to the struggle. Of the two teams the eleven from the frontier was the heavier, eapeci-- aily the defence, which played re- markably well. "Baby" Macpherson on the hails defence, broke, up many a dangerous rush., and the work of W . Jones in goal wasa feature, The gains with forty minute halves started' at 6 : 30,with D A. McLachlan of Stratford, as referee. The first goal was scored in four minutes by the red and white oil a clean shot by l+ ffrick.,.° `. Silt minutes later the blues retaliated when Turner scored a pretty long shot from left. The ball was pretty 'much in Niagara Falls territory during this period, 'with Brucefield shooting on goal three times to their opponent one. Again Efiirick showed his accuracy in his kicking wing when he brought his team in the lead. With the score two to one against them . the blues rushed upon the reds and made a gallant effort to score. but were pre- vented by the defensive work of their opponets. This stirred the Falls forward Iine into activity, and they made a clean sweep of the field and scored on a beautiful shot by,Howorth, The score at half time remained 3-1 in favor of the Niagarans. When the second half opened Bruce, field was right there again with the shooting, but they couldn't get away from the defence. Towards the close. of the half the red and white clinch- ed the game and incidentally the W. F. A. championship when Marshall scored the last oil a scrimmage in front of goal. As the end drew near Brucefield was inclined to rough it a bit, which resulted in the benching of Turner, who gave Effrick a nasty charge and landed Whim on his shoul- der. Shortly after the game ended 4-1 in favor of Miagara Falls. The game was a decided treat for the lovers of Association football in Berlin. There was the old-time crowd and all kinds of enthusiasm, the sup- porters of the contending teams cheer• ,ing themselves hoarse, while the dis- interested spectators from Berlin and hereabouts applauded the good plays of both teams. The contest was fast throughout and was far superior to the calibre of senior football which was witnessed here earlier in the sea- son, While the teams were evenly balan- ced the winners showed better staying powers and after gaining their lead in the first-half they played direfully, each man watching his opponent every minute, The Ontario championship football sudden death game between .Hamilton club and Colonials, of Niagara Fall, in Queen Victoria Park Saturday after- noon was won by the. Colonials by 3 goals to Hamilton's. 0 This is the third district championship club the. fast Colonials have beaten this year and have only another club to •van- quish to give them the championship of Ontario.
