Carman seems at heme and at rest here, in his song of the- pea. "No one interprets the sad, strong notes of the sea more simply and straight forward-lv." Walter Bemmt, in the London Queen, gives the following advice to novel writers: "Remember that you can only hope to succeed by producing a faithful picture; your setting must be true. Next, you must remember that no one can succeed in fiction who has not the power of You must be to hold your audience. It is impossible to teach how that can be dramatic situation and dramatic dia logue. Thirdly Let your subject be strong, admitting cf dramatic- situation.

Fourthly Let your characters be clear and distinct. Fifthly Take care not to weaken your page by long descriptions. Sixthly Plan out your narrative for a certain length in a certain number of chapters. Seventhly Learn to pay attention to style. Read the works of the greatest writers and observe how their style contributes to the interest of the page." "Two Principles in Recent American Fiction" is the title of a strong and fine essay by James Lane Allen in the current Atlantic Monthly.

The two principles of which Mr. Allen writes are the Feminine Principle and the Masculine Principle. The one, the former, has dominated our fiction during the past; the other is just be- ginning to dominate it. The three essential characteristics of the one are refinement, delicacy, grace; of the 'ther' vlrility' strength, Closely to these are other cbarac teristics deducible from them; in the one case, smallness, rarity, tact; in the ether, largeness, obviousness, and primary and instinctive action. Each principle manifests itself net only in the choice cf -material but in the choice of treatment also.

What the Feminine Principle has accomplished is thus finely stated by Mr. Allen: "It brought certain American novelist? and short-story writers of the day (twenty-five and1 thirty years ago) under its domination, and they, being thus dominated, at once began to lay sympathetic fingers on certain refined fibers of our civilization, and to weave therefrom astonishing refined fabrics; they sought the coverts where some of the more delicate elements of our national life escaped the lidless eye of publicity, and paid their delicate tributes to these; on the clumsy canvases of our tumultuous democracy they watched to see where some solitary being or group of beings described lines of living grace, and1 with grace they detached these and transferred them to the enduring canvases of letters; they found themselves impelled to look for the mwiute things of our humanity, and, having gathered! these, to polish them, curve them, compose them into minute structures with minutest elaboration; they were inexorably driven across wide fields of the obvious in order to reach some strip of territory that would yield the rare and while doing all things else, they never omitted from the scope of their exploration thoise priceless veins of gold from human nature perpetually adorns itself for the mere comity of living." The result was'a body of American fiction of quite inestimable value to us. But as the human spirit can never have any complete expression of itself in any art, so this fiction dominated by the Feminine Principle has come at last to arouse impatience with it as a partial and inadequate portrayal of American civilization. But is has wrought for American literature at least one service of the highest value: it has become foT us, as a nation of imaginative writers, the beneficent Mother of Good Prose. Before it began its work we had but three writers who were accepted abroad as well as at home as masters of style: Irving, Hawthorne, and Poe.

Now, whether or not it has produced any new masters of style, there is no abid ing-place for an author of Indifferent prose. "All the most successful writers of our day, whether viewed to gether as a generation, or viewed apart as ths adherents of especial schools, have at least this in common: that they have carried their work to its high and uniform plane of excellence mainly by reason of the high and um fcrm excellence of their But the Feminine Principle has ceas ed to govern. Our existing literary condition revaals evidences of dmpa tience, displeasure, and revolt. The Masculin? Principle, which is now making its appearance as the domin ating force, may appear either before or after the domination of the Feminine Principle, or at the same time with it; and the two may work against each as enemies' cr work with each other ao friends. The last situation is the most seldom realized, Says Mr Allen "To one race alone on our planet has it been given to celebrate the ideal nuptials of this mighty pair, and af terward to dwpll rairrramded bv the offspring cf their perfectly blended powers the Greeks.

In Greek art alone in its sculpture, in its ii'terature, virili- ty and refinement achieved and' main twined a perfect balance. There a a Waverly Won and Didn't Half Try in Saturday's Football Game. Waverly, N. T. Oct.

IS. The Waver-ly football team had no difficulty in defeating Sayre Saturday. They rolled up a score of SO to 4. The Sayre players did not make their yards on downs once during the gamo and their scoring was a pure case of luck, one of the men getting the ball on a quarter baok kick with a clear field bofore him. The game was called shortly after 4 o'clock and tn spite of the excessive heat the Waverly players started in with lots of snap.

Sayre kicked off to Swarthout, who made a small gain, and on the second play Snook carried the baU around CDeU's end for touch (down. MoMaihon kicked goal. Score, Wveriy. Sayre, 0. Sayre again i ked ofC the up Cranclail mendable grit in the scemd half, but they could not gain any ground when they got the ball, which was not very often, and they could not stop Waver-Jy's riisihes.

But they scored several points, nevertheless. Perry tried the quarter back kic-k and 'Bell got the ball ran sixty yards for a touchdown with the entire Waverly team at his heel's. No goal was kicked. Waverly scored 10 points in this half, making the score: Waverly, 30; Sayre, 0. The line up was as follows: Waverly.

The University of Pennsylvania football team was the only one of the big teams which came oft with a victory of -which they can feel satisfied as a result of Saturday's games. Cornell played a tie and the Indians and Newtown A.

C. and West Point gave Princeton and Yale and Harvard awful scores, the latter three all winning by the same score, 10 to 0, but just pulling out a victory after being outplayed in nearly every case. This prophesies surprises before the season is over and some second class team is looked upon to win a victory from the Big Five 'before the season is over. U. P.

For the first time in two years Lafayette was scored on at the (home grounds at Easton, In the game with Cornell Saturday, which resulted in a tie, 4 and 4. The contest was hotly waged throughout and Cornell greatly outplayed the Pennsylvania team and several times came near victory.

There the obvious was so ennobled that it became the rare, and the rare was revealed in lineaments so essential to the human soul that it was hailed as the obvious. There the smallest things of life were so justly valued that they grew large to the eye and heart, and the largest things even the divinest images of the imagination were brought down to the plane of the little and became the everyday treasures of the humble. There instinct and tact, all the primary elements1 of life and all the secondary elements of culture the low earth of humanity and the high heaven of thought were presented each in its due relation, as naturally as the ground in a landscape stretches itself under the sky, or the sky stretches itself above the ground. "Outside the Greeks, no race ever known what it is to celebrate a perfect union of the Masculine and Feminine Principles in its art." As for the Anglo-Saxon race, the two principles have alternated in its history and never but once been united in the same great artist. Says Mf.

Allen: "It (the Anglo-Saxon race) has never thus far achieved such a triumph in any art but one, nor in the case of any man but one. On the throne of that universe which was Shakespear's mind these two( august principles sat fide by fide as coequal sovereigns, entitled each to rule over half a realm, but consenting both to rule each half conjointly. His art came thus to include all that is most feminine in woman, all that is most masculine in man. For the first time in the literature of the Anglo-Saxon race, and possibly for the last, perfect virility and perfect refinement, strength and delicacy, massiveness and grace, things the vastest and things the most minute, things close to the common, eye and things drawn for an Instant into the remotest ether of human ken, the deepest bases of life and the loftiest insubstantial pinnacles of cloudlike fancy each of these old pairs of artistic oppcsltes, which were lashed together in friendliness, but have so liv ed at variance, laid aside their enmity, and wrought each for the good of the other, and each for the good of all." American fiction, Mr. Allen thinks-.

as before stated. Is pasing through one of those intervals which separate the parting supremacy of one principle from the approaching supremacy of the. other. It may be classified into three portions: one which shows no marked tendency whatever; another which continues under the guidance of the Feminie Principle; and the third, which upon careful consideration reveals a common group of character istics. This third class is, in the first place, not so refined, so finely manner ed, so well written.

But its charac teristics are not merely negative: A final and yet closer inspection of this part of our literature reveals a second group of characteristics, not negative at all rather most positive; and it is these that constitute its last differentia, its true distinction. For there is in it, first of all, more masculinity and also more passion; and being at once more masculine and more passionate, it is more virile. Thn, again, it is resolutely working for strength for strength as a quality freshly to be cultivated and acheived in our literature, freshly to be enjoyed; present need, an everlasting stand by. Quite as surely, also, it is bent upen treating its subjects rather in the rough natural mass than in grace ful detail; bent upon getting trutht or ti: xiidjr ux: wanted, from them as a whole, in stead of stretching each particular atom on a graceful rack of psychological confession, and bending the ear close to the catch the last faint whispers of Its exruciating and moribund self-consciousness. It is striking out boldly for larger things larger areas of adventures, larger spaces of history, with freer movements through both; it would have the wings of a bird in the air, and not the ings of a bird on woman's hat.

It reveals a disposition to place its scenery, its companies of players, and the logic of its dramas, not in rare, pale, half-lighted, dimly beheld backgrounds, but nearer to the rootngnts of the obvious. And If, finally it has any one characteristic more discernible than another, it 19 the movement away from the summits of life downward toward the bases of life; from the height of civilization to the primitive springs of action; from the thin-aired regions of consciousness which are ruled over by Tact to the underworld of unconsciousness which are situated the mighty workshops, and where toils on forever the Cyclopean youth. Instinct." Whatever the future may reveal, continues the writer, we have never as a nation been able to handle the Mas culine Principle alone with the same success that we have been able to handle the Feminine Principle. The dan ger is that we shall lose the delicacy and fineness of execution of the one without achieving compensating suc-oess in the other. If the result be failure, Mr.

Allen hopes that the effect of this failure will be to throw us back upon an effort to blend and reconcile the two. For the two are no more irreconcilable now than in the days of Shakespeare. We have had, Mr. Allen points out in conclusion, a successful specimen of this blending in Mr. Kipling's poem "Recessional" at once virile and refined, strong but delicate.

John Nester, a farmer and meat peddler, who resided in West Union, Pa, was found dead on Saturday morning under his overturned meat wagon, about one mile and a half from Roaring Branch. His horses, a remarkably vicious team, had kicked themselves loose and trotted home. The dead man's brother was the first to make the ghiustly discovery, after the body had lain all night under the aehvy wreck. A coroner's Jury was summoned, but it was not found necessary to hold an inquest, as after viewing the mutilated body and wercked wagon, the evidence was conclusive that death resulted through the agency of his vicious horses, a span that his friends had often advised him to get rid of. The deep wound over his heart where the brake iron had penetrated, was alone a sufficient cause for immediate death.

One of the wheels had to be taken off the wagon before the 'body oould be extricated. Tioga cdunty teacHers' Institute will be held at Wellsboro, October 25th-2Sth. Superintendent Raesley has made arrangements for special entertainments to be given each evening, including lectures by Rev. A. W.

TEAM WON. The Elmira Academy foot ball team and the faculty and students of that school are jubilant over the fact that the foot ball eleven went to Montour Fall3 on Saturday- and- defeated the Cook Academ yteam by a score of 10 to nothing and thereby making their chances excellent for winning the $250 silver cup offered by Cornell for the champion high school eleven of the state. This was the first game of the series and Elmira next meets Casm-dilla who on Saturday defeated Binghamton High School. On Friday of this week the Academy team plays the Alfred TJniversiry team at Hornells-ville and an interesting game is promised. Last year Cook Academy won the foot ball cup and the fact that the local academy team handicapped by the absence of two of the best players receeeded in defeating Cook argues well for their future successs.

About 500 people witnessed the contest which was fiercely played throughout and was full of exciting situations. Cook played well and the followers of that team were surprised at the result. Elmira was probably outweighed. Cook fthose the pflst smaJ n- VAmirst won the toss taking the ball.

"In company with Dr. Waddel, the health officer of the village, we inspected the creek, and found that large quantities of refuse were being daily i thrown into this stream by grocers and proprietors of fruit houses and others living along the creek.

The village has recently constructed a first-class system of water works, but is without any sewers, and many of the recently constructed closets are con nected with Jacob's creek "I found on consultation with many of the leading citizens that we.e in favor of the building of sewers, and i it is only a question of time when th? growing needs of this enterprising vil- lage will require them. In order to remedy the present nuisance I advised the health officer to call the local board together, at which meeting rules and regulations be adopted presenting any emptying or dumping of refuse of any kind whatever into said stream; and that the creek be ditched and frequently flushed by the new system of water works, and that the closets should not be connected with this small stream of water." Drl Waddell, the health officer, responded promptly with these suggestions, and that the measures would be fully carried out at once, and the result reported in full to this board. DECLINE IN PRICES PROBABLE. In the Potato Market Big Western Crops Offset Light Eastern. Chemung county -farmers who have been holding back their potatoes in expectation cf exceedingly high prices will, df Ithey take the advice of commission men, make the most of the present firilces.

A declinie seems probable due to the favoralbte reports received from western states, particularly Wisconsin, Michigan and South Dakota, Although la trap Wals antilcjapt'ed, itlhe yield (has surpassed all hopes, and the crop is nfclt drily enormous, but of prime quality. While this fact may not affWt'vthe general market except 'temporarily, still it is mot at aid likely that the nigh prices anticipated toy local producer's eiartier in the season will be reached. The (heavy rains 1m July and August, followed by recent prolonged drought caused great alarm in large areas of the country lest the crop should prove a tofcal failure, and when it was finally learned that about one-third of a crop niigiit be looked for farmers who were so fortunate 'as to have piw poets a fair crop were congratulating themselves tliat dollar wheat was not the only good thing in store for them. This belief was strengthened by the reports of exceedingly light crops in most of the Atlantic states. For a time, also, the reports from the western states were not very encouraging.

Cf late, ihow luas tbeen a great change for the better in the west. A well known commission man is authority (for thi? fatateimien't tihait lihe enormous crops in the west are almost Ta.rge enough to count erbalarice the smiaMer yield an the eastern section of the country and that there is a strong probability of a further decline im prices. In. support of this de'claratioin he shows a latter from one grower in South Dakota who estimates his own crop at ISO.000 busheSs and there aire a number of others who similar claims. What is true of the potato market holds good in the case of the onion market and again it is the western states which are the chief factor, in a measure controilling the market.

As a bit of advice to producers it may be Weill to state that prices are not going to mount much higher and a dedline is almost inevitable. The depression is not likely to be general nor of long duration, but it is probable that for a period of about two weeks lew p-reces will rule. At any rate the growers wiill make no mistake by putting their stock on the market within a short time.
