Budget of Other Timely Topics From Our Special Correspondent. Exeter, Oct. 28. The Phillips Exeter football team resterday afternoon began its final weeks of practice before the Andover game. The sick and injured list has been large throughout the year bus far, and' yesterday afternoon saw no decrease dn it, but rather an increase.

Jenkjns, fullback; Hammel, halfback; Dillon, guard; Captain Brill, tackle; Evans and Holzman, ends, and Marshall, who will play itfler or tackle, were not in the ineup. Mead, who played such a remarkable game at end against Woces- er, hurt his ankle quite badly yesterday afternoon. The practice was very snappy. All season the second team's backs have been able to plough through the regular team's line at will. Yesterday fternoon, even with Pope, it was sel- lorn that they could imake their dis- ance.

The first team's back carried the 'ball well Blodge, Jenkin's sub, was the chief ground gainer. lams- playedi well at quarter. The finals in the Exeter Golf club ournament were playedi yesterday afternoon between. Gen. William P.

Cliadwick Arthur F. 2ooper. The latter won, defeating his opponent by a score of 4 up and 2 to play. By winning the tournament Captain Cooper secures the Velocipede medal and is the champion of the Exeter Golf club for the coming year. General gave the cup to the club.

Coal still remains at the same old price in Exeter, the end of the coal strike being of no moment in tJhat direction here. The local coal dealers do not look for any change at present, but when, the anthracite coal begins to arrive they do not expect much difference in prices from those in for- er years. No hard coal wall be received in Exeter this year before the river freezes over; consequently, as it will be necessary for it to come by rail, the prices would be a little higher anyway. H. W.

Anderson is daily expecting Ms first cargo of Welsh anthracite, as it was -shipped from Wales on Oct. 13. The prices of wood reanain the same as before the strike and the demand is as great. There are many devices in use for heating purposes this fall. One of the most peculiar was that of Maurice J.

OPEN LETTER FROM WALTER J. BALLARD. To my fellow wage earners--The question for us to ponder and decide before voting is which political party is the wage earners real friend, republican or democratic? I have studied the subject closely and am satisfied that the republican party is best entitled to our support. Why? Because all the federal and state labor legislation of moment has been put through by republican United States senators, congressmen, state senators, and assemblymen opposition on the noors of the senates and houses and in the recorded democratic votes. First let us compare votes regarding the labor legislation by the various states.

The measures of importance are, SOUTH ELIOT. South Eliot, Oct. 27. Joseph W. Dixon is in attendance on the Maine State Advent conference which is in session at Bath, Me.

Mrs. Rose Spinney is visiting relatives in Boston and vicinity. Henry Knight passed Saturday and Sunday with his parents, returning to South Berwick today, where he attends school. Mr. and Mrs.

Willis Schurman of Portsmouth were visiting relatives in town Sunday. Miss Maud McKenoey of Portsmouth was in town Sunday. Mr. Hussey of Portsmouth was a recent visitor in town. Charles Colo has returned home from Charlestown, where he has been employed at the navy yard.

The Volunteer Organist was much appreciated by the party who attended from this town and Phinney's band also had quite a number of patrons from here Saturday evening. Many bicyclists were in evidence Sunday, enjoying a spin the bracing air.

Carroll D. Wright. Was there opposition to its passage? Yes, vigorous opposition by voice and vote, and every voice and every vote raised in opposition was democratic. This then being the republican record of labor legislation, I appeal to you in the Interest of that fearless friend of labor, President Roosevelt, in the interests of all labor, in the interest of your wives and families, in your own interests and. mine, to vote for republican congressmen, and the entire republican ticket from start to finish.

WALTER J. BALLARD. Schenectady, N. October 27. RANDOM GOSSIP.

Mrs. J. K. P. Rogers and daughter Lillian of Kinghtsville, are visiting Mrs.

E. F. Dame, Mrs. Rogers' mother. Herbert S.

Nelson of Portsmouth was calling on relatives in town Saturday evening. Miss Bertha Rogers of Somerville, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Parry Tobey. Mrs.

Clifford Muchmore of Kittery was the guest of her mother Mrs. Henry Cole, recently. Dr. H. I.

Durgin. is quite sick with typhoid fever. There aie several other cases in town also. The death of Fabius Spinney occurred Sunday morning, after, a long and painful illness. Mr.

Spinney was a well known and respected citizen and a unan whose devotion to his family was untiring. For many years he followed the sea and was one of the most successful skippers of the fishing fleet in this section. He was a stranger to fear and 1 had many narrow escapes from shipwreck in his long seafaring life. He leaves a widow, one son, Everett Spinney, two brothers, Robert and Nathan Spinney, and three sisters, Mrs. Emily Spinney, Mrs.

Theodore Fernald of this town and Mrs. Wesley Paul of Saugus, Mass. The funeral services of Miss Isabelle Brooks occurred Saturday afternoon, Rev. Elbridige Gerry, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends.

Mrs. A. Pickering passed the day in Portsmouth. Misses Mollie and Jessie Mcloon of Portsmouth were in town Sunday. The ladies circle will meet at the Advent church oa Wednesday at nine 166 58 these figures represent 10 measures of labor relief granted by republicans 166 times, and by democrats 58, or IB other words, nearly three times as much republican state labor legislation, as there la democratic.

Does not this showing call upon us to vote for republican state senators and republican state assemblymen? Now let us call the roll of federal republican measures of labor relief and labor protection. First and chief, the abolition of slavery, by which act black, was exalted. the cause of labor, white as well as This was accomplished by the republican party at the cost of thousands of millions of dollads and rivers of the blood of our best and bravest and in face of most violent opposition by the democrats and their allies. The Cooley trade and Peonage abolished, putting an end to the iniquitous system under which a laborer's body and work could be held in pledge for debt. Inspection of steam vessels, protecting the lives and limbs of the workers employed thereon, as well as the passengers.

The protection of seamen, who will dare say that "those who go down to the sea in ships" those who go not for their own pleasure but for our pleasure and our profit, should not receive the fullest protection possible at our hands. Abrogation of the involuntary servitude of foreigners, putting an end to the use in free America of the infamous Padrone and similar systems of enslaved Europe. Then the well known alien contract labor prohibition. What would be your position today, fellow wage earners, were it still possible for labor contractors 1 to go to other parts of the world and bring to our shores, gang after gang of the inferior, cheaper, pauper labor of other counr tries? Would you then be able to put money in the savings bank, either on deposit or in the form of life insurance for the benefit of your wives and dear ones, or to feed, clothe and educate your family in the way Americans deserve? Who gave you 'this grand protection? The republican party and the republican party alone. The records of congress show that each and every vote cast against the measure was democratic.

I say this deliberately. Mabel Howard, seen at Music hall in The Heart of Maryland and Zaza, and Alida Cortelyou, cousin of the president's private secretary, have made emphatic hits in the support of William Gillette. The Manchester Veteran Firemen's hand tub, Uncle Sam, has won $1075 during its three playing seasons. More than two million copies have been sold of the songs composed by Harry Von Tilzer Most popular of all is 'My Old New Hampshire Home," of which 360,000 copies have been sold. Under the n'ew schedule of prices for engineers that went into effect on the Boston and Maine last week, many ot the engineers do not get nearly as much as they did under the old scale of wages.

Heretofore they have been paid $3.50 per day for six days' work and many of the runs gave the men two days each, week at home, otwithstanding this, lay off, they ave always received the full week's ay of $21.00. For seine time past a movement has been on 1 foot started, it is said, by the Locomotive Brobh- Thood, to have the men paid by the mile, and now that they are so paid, many of the engineers are making a rigorous protest because they do not get as much pay as they did under jhe old plan. One engineer says that vliere his pay has for years been $21 er week, he only received $16.55 for he same work last week. The Bennett-Moulton company, play- ng at Music hall this week, has an un- ommonly strong vaudeville feature the comedy bar act of Leroy and Vanion 1 who do their turn at every performance 1 1 have heard people ay that this alone is quite worth pay- ng ten, twenty or thirty cents to see. a.

The lK8t on the list of federal law COMPLETE TROLLEY NETWORK. Southern New Hampshire Will Haw One Before Very Long. "Jt is becoming more evident every day that the southern part of New Hampshire will soon- be as completely networked with electric railroads as any part of Massachusetts," said one of the leaders in New England electric road development on Monday. "What this, means to our people is apparent. The towns through which these roads will pass cannot fail to become more desirable places to live in, and 1 the cities with which they become connected will reap the reward of increased trade and larger population.

"It will be remembered that at the last session' of the legislature a charter was granted for the building of an electric road from -Concord to Dover and Rochester, to be known as the Concord, Dover and Rochester Street railway. Under this charter the company is given permission to "lay its tracks through some of the best known and tmost populous towne in the state, such as Madbury, Barrington, Northwood, Nottingham, Epsom, Chichester and Pembroke; and connecting, as it does, the capital of the state with the important cities, of Dover, Rochester and Somereworth. it is certain to become one of the most important roads in the state and of great benefit to the important cities and towns in the eastern section of the state, which at present have no direct means of cummunication with Concord. "The grantees of the charter are among the best known people of toe state. Among them are Mayor Whittemore of Dover, Col.

Daniel Hall of Dover, Horace L. Worcester of Rochester, ex-Mayor Martin of Concord and Wallace D. Lovell of Newton, Mass. "Mr. Lovell has become well known in New Hampshire by his splendid work in electric railroad development in the southeastern section of the state, and is personally interested in the construction of the Concord and Dover road.

He has already interested a number of local people in this road, andconsiderablo local capital will be interested in Ue enterprise, which is sure to prove a paying one. He has also organized a syndicate for the purpose of providing funds for this and other similar work which he is to undertake in this state, so that the financial end of the enterprise is already taken care of. The money has been provided and is only awaiting the time for the beginning of the work. "It will be of interest to the peoplft Twenty yea ago Frank A.

Today he has an immense printing plant in New York city and he owns the New York Daily News and the Washington Daily Times; and now he has purchased the Boston Journal establishment, which will conduct on the same lines that have made the New York and ngton papers and magawwes such urilliant successes. Mr.

Munsey's- oW friends never tire in commenting upon the marvelous strides 'he has made In the publishing world. of this section of the state, and especially to the inhabitants of the towns above naimed, to learn what is being done towards the construction of this road. Already applications have been made for layouts and dates fixed for hearings. A large corps of engineers is at work upon the route, and as soon as it is definitely decided upon the contracts will be awarded. Many of the details have already been arranged, and it is confidently expected that ground will be broken and- actual work begun this fall.

"That electric cars will soon- be running from Dover to Concord is now practically assured, and with the advent of the electric car will come a new era of prosperity and happiness to our people. The old towns along the route will take on new life as they come in closer contact with, the busy life of the city. The cities themselves will throb with new energy as the channels of their trade increase and multiply, and the whole state will in turn reap the reward of larger trade and increased Union. It may seem unusual, but one of the most acceptable numbers played by Creatore, the greet Italian band leader, has been 1 the Chopin Funeral March. It is said that solemn aa this march is, the great beauty of its melody, Intensely so the way it is played by Creatore's great Italian band, thows that the fa'mous leader absorbs every possibility there is in the music, and It has been the most numerously requested number in his repertoire.
