WHY THE WOKEN FAILED. Rev. Anna Shaw xplaiua About tbe Iat Election in Soutli Dakota. Several hundred men and women who belive that women should be allowed to become politicians, and a large number of others attracted by curiosity, filled the lower part ot Association Hall last night at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Women's Suffrage Association, and listened to addresses on behalf of the cause." The chief interest of the evening centred in the speech of Kev. Anna Shaw, of Washington, a fiue-looking, silvery haired, black-eyed woman, with a rich, powerful voice and plenty ot enthusiasm.

She related some interesting experiences campaigning with Susan B. Anthony in South Dakota previous to the recent election, and explained how the defeat of the women's suffrage movement by about 8,000 majority all happened. It seems that the woman sunragists in tne cyclonic in ant State made a "deal" with the Farmers Alliance by which the latter was to combine with the Republicans as they had done in the case ot prohibition and utterly wipe the Democratic party from the face of the earth. Things went swimmingly on this basis until the wicked Alliance managers grew alarmed, withdrew from under the wing of the Re publicans, and, in vulgar political phrase ology, "slumped" the woman's suffrage plank from their platform. But, said Kev.

miss was a victorious defeat, because never in the his tory of women's suffrage has the cause drawn out such a large vote aud we leel perfectly satisfied at the work done in South Dakota." Mary Grew, the energetic president of the association, in opening the meeting, referred in glowing terms to the recent election of the women's rights advocates to Congress in Wyoming, and said that this was the first instance in the historv of the United States when there had been literal government "of the people, by the people and for the people." Mrs. Julia ard Howe, the venerable Boston authoress and women's suffrage advocate, read" an address on The Chivalry ot Ketorm," in which she claimed that aa woman exercised a care and rule over the infant man, so tbe nature man should allow her to exercise a care and rule over the affairs of the nation. She is a plump, little, white-haired old lady, and made a decided impression on ber audience. At the close ot the meeting she recited her famous Battle Hymn of the Republic," beginning, "My eyes have seen the glory oi the coming or tbe which was written during tne heat of the civil war, and which has become one of the classics of the century. An address was also ciaue on the general question of enfranchising women by William Dudley Foulke, ex-member ot the Indiana Legislature.

1GHT HUNDRED sonsot Pennsylvania shonted themselves hoarse to-day over the result of the deciding champiou-ship football game between the University ol Pennsylvania and the Wesleyan students.

Young military acad emicians from Media favored the same side and cheered their iriends heartily.

Their kicking, tackling and interfer ing were much admired, but this was some what discounted when Pennsylvania team drove in the grounds in four carriases, and were immodiatelv overwhelmed with hand shakings and inquiries by a host ot friends who were there to welcome them.

Taking possession of the field they had fiiteen min utes' warming up. In the meantime there was much speculation as to the probable outcome of the contest. Comparisons were drawn and manv of the oustiders gave the preference to the arsity boys, whose clean work excited great admiration among the increasing crowd.

slavback's geeat running. It would be unjust to praise Ihe special play of any of the men, as they all played an almost perfect game, without anyone, outside of Slayback, particularly distinguishing himself. Slayback, however, excelled himself in his running, and the way he went down the outside with the ball within five minutes of the call of time called forth long rounds of applause and admiration from both friend and foe. For 75 yards he almost flew, hugging'the leather sphere for dear tile, being ably assisted by Ralston X. B.

Many bets were made of even money that Wesleyan would not get a point There was but lew louna, nowever, wno naa tne courage to accept the bets. Wesleyan, how ever, took a brace in the second half and surprised their friends by their determined playing, and had time enough remained it might have gone hard with the Pennsyiva-niaus, as tbeir opponents were plaving with a vim that was absent in the early part of the game, All well that ends well, and Pennsylvania won one of the hardest fpugbt games seen by a score of lu to 10.

Inasmuch as unusual interest is manifested football just now, the following description is given lor the benent ot those who have never seen it played The field upon which the game is played is rectangular in shape. and is 330 feet long and 100 leet wide, with goals placed at each end of the field. The goal is mane ot two upr.ght posts eighteen leet.

The ball has to be kicked over this bar in order to score a When the game is caned the eleven men on each side take similar positions on the field and take the word for play from the umpire. The umpire has sole charge ot the players and the referee has charge ot the ball, and their decisions are final, and, unlike the decisions of a base ball umpire, are never questioned.

The object of each team is to force tbe ball over its opponents goal line, or to kick it over the goal, or to lorce the opponents to touch it down in their own goal.

These are the only three modes of scoring, and a majority of points determines the winner. The side which wins the choice starts the game by "kicking ofl." This gets the ball into play, and it is then kicked or carried forward until it is downed, when both sides line up lor a scrimmage, in a scrimmage the centre rusher makes it a point to snap the ball bact to tbe quarter-back, who can either kick it for ward or pass it on to one ot the backs. Fol lowing the signals of the captain the backs kick the ball or run forward with it until downed by tbe opponents. If the ball is not carried lor ward five vards or backward twenty yard3 it goes to the opponents on the spot where it was last downed. a captain sees that he is about to lose the ball he gives the signal to kick either by a punt or drop kick.

Punt means kicking the ball without it touching the ground and is usually the most eSective way of disposing of it at a erltical moment. A drop kick is made by dropping tne bail to the ground and kicking it the moment it rebounds. A drop kick and a place kick are the only ones that can score a goal from the field of play. If the ball is carried over the oppo nents' goal line and touched down in goal it scores a touch-down, and gives the side making it a try at goal. In a "try at goal the side which has made the touch down brings out the ball to some convenient distance in front of the goal and directly opposite tne marc wnere tne ball was touched down, and is held there by one of the players for a place kick.

If one side is forced back and forced to touch the ball down in its own goal, it scores a safetv and counts for the opponents. The value of the several points that may is aa fol- SOLUBLE- Rich. Digestible. Stimulating. Nourishing.
