NORMAL Iff GOOD TORU.
First Fool Ball of Seaton Attracts a Largs
Crowd.
The University of Fenusylvania
foot ball team arrived in Blooms
burg at noon on Tuesday from
Kagles Mere where they had been
in training for two weeks previous.
At 3:15 In the afternoon, they lined
up againnt Normal on Athletic
Field, for the first game of the
season. A large crowd was present.
From every part of the field, Nor
mal's colors, maroon and yellow
waved proudly in the breeze, while
now and then could be seen Penn
sylvania's red and blue. Never in
Athletic Field's history as a play
ground, has there a more enthusias
tic throng 6f people assembled upon
it, than on Tuesday. Everybody
appeared to be happy.
We are not going to give a de
tailed account of the play, but will
say that the work of Normal was
excellent. When it is considered
that the team is largely composed
of green men, and that they had
never played together before, it
was truly wonderful.
While Pennsylvania has been
practicing for two weeks, this was
their first real test of the season.
The general opinion is that the
result reflects very little credit on
the Pennsy eleven. Superior team
work, acquired during their two
weeks training, aided by some
clever fake plays, carried the Red
and Blue to victory. Individually,
they could lay no claim to super
iority, but as before stated in team
work they excelled and carried ofl
the honors, if a score of 16 to o can
be called an honor for Pennsyl
vania. Iu the Philadelphia Inquirer, a
staff correspondent, says:
"In thirty-five minutes of play
agaiust State Normal School eleven
here this afternoon the University !
of Pennsylvania team scored 16
points and only missed being scored
on by six inches. It was a disap
pointing exhibition by the Quakers.
Slow playing that made the
coaches nervous, almost to distrac
tion, characterized the Red and
Blue eleven's work during the en
tire game, and fumbles were fre
quent and costly, Weissenfluh
being the chief oftender, and the de
fense, on end runs, especially on
the right side, was not as strong as
it has been in practice against the
second team. It was on a run
around right end in the first half
that Captain Marcy got away from
the entire Quaker team and had he
uot stepped six inches over the side
line would have scored a touch
down." Following is the line tip and

80IOIDE ENDS TAMIL! BTKIFE.
Domestic Infelicity, A Quarrel, Arrest, then
Death by His Own Hand.
Harry Sutton took his own life at
his home in Nescopeck Tuesday
morning, by hanging himself to a
rafter in the attic. Sutton was about
twenty-four years of age, and had
been married about a year. He and
his wife had never mated very well,
quarrels were of almost daily occur
rence. It appears that the primary
cause for the infelicity, was an undue
desire for strong drink on the part of
the husband. Monday evening, after
drinking heavily he had gone home.
His wife took him to task, and a
quarrel ensued, with the result that
each had the other arrested. Sutton
was locked up and his wife was t.iken
to the home of the constable. The
next morning they were arraigned be
fore the Chief Burgess for a hearing.
There was no evidence against the
woman and she was allowed to go
free. Sutton was held for Court, He
was allowed to go to his home, for
the purpose of securing John De
Haven, his landlord, and who lived
next door, to go on his bail bond. It
appears that Mrs. Sutton was at the
house when he reached there, and
was packing her gpods, with a view
of a separation.
Sutton called at the Dellaven
home, but finding his landlord out,
he returned to his own home and
went up stairs.
The constable was waiting for him
to return to the office of the Burgess.
He finally became impatient, and
started after him. He went to the
house and called up stairs but re
ceived no answer. Upon investiga
tion, he found the dead body of his
prisoner hanging from a ratter m the
attic. He had placed the rope about
his neck,, and leaped out into the
stairway. His spinal cord was broken.
Squire Miller hastily empanelled a
jury, and a verdict of suicide was re
turned.
PARENTS.
Now the homes are quiet again.
The little people are away attending
to their studies in the school-room.
We parents are hoping that much
good may be done lor our boys and
girls. Let us reason together and
use a little judgment on our part.
We all know how much better we
feel and how much more we can do
if some neighbor or friend encourages
us with a little praise. It makes our
hearts beat with the determination of
a greater endeavor. It thrills us with
a new hope, even a new life. We are
happy.
I know that much of the success of
our boys and girls, who are in the
school-room to day, depends on the
honest encouragement which we hold
out to them. It depends on the sus
taining help which we may give that
teacher who is laboring so earnestly
to lead aright the children we have
sent from our homes to her for instruc
tion. Therefore, it is our duty to act
our part well, so that the children of
to-day may stand head and shoulders
above us in knowledge and manliness
when they become men and women.
We must bear in mind that teach
ers are human. They do not belong
to the angelic band of ideals; but the
work which they are trying to perform
is of such a nature that it ranks among
the very foremost of the callings of
mankind. As they are human we
must expect them to do some things
differing from the way which we
would do them. When these differ
ences happen, do not rise up in wrath
ful dignity and say in the presence of
the children hard words about that
teacher. Sleep over the trouble,
dream over it, pray over it and then,
after properly cooling off, go secretly
and talk it over, with the teacher.
Do not allow the children to gossip
about the school. Be sure that you
know that your children have pre
pared their lessons properly. Be sure
that you get acquainted with your
teacher before she has taught long.
Be her honest faithful friend. Be sure
that you do visit the school often; not
to find fault, but to encourage that
which is good. Help to raise your
own school so that it may be one of
the best in the county. Let us see
what good we can do this winter.

In Jail at Banbury.
Calvin R. Kressler has strayed
in the pervert and foolish path and
as a result of his misdoings he is
now in jail at Sunbury. It appears
that he has been acting the roll of
a Judas Iscariot for some time past,
but not until Monday morning was
his treachery discovered. On the
night before he and MisS Mary
Walters, a girl of eighteen years,
walked into Hotel Zerbe at Sun
bury and asked for a room. After
registering as man and wife thsy
were given a room. The next
morning Mr. Zeibe asked Kressler
if they were married and he said
no. The two evidently anticipat
ing trouble hurried out of the hotel
but the proprietor made use of the
telephone and securing an officer
had them arrested.
It has since developed that Kress
ler had been having considerable
trouble at home and that his wife
had sworn out a warrant for his ar
rest Saturday night but he could
not be found. Kressler's friends
are dumbfounded at his conduct.
Until very lately he had been looked
upon as a man of correct habits,
but drink is supposed to have led
to his downfall.
Supper Netted $120
The chicken and flannel cake
supper given in the basement of the
Methodist church last Thursday
night was an eminently successful
affair and netted $120. The matter
of serving the supper was entirely
in charge of some of the young meu
of the congregation and their grace
fulness, promptness and very oblig
ing manners, called forth much
praise, especially from the ladies.
Appreciated the Hospitality.
The Secretary of the Centennial
executive committee received a letter
a few days ago from the Eagle Hose
Company of Pittston, extending
thanks for the $20 prize awarded
them in the hose contest, and ex-'
pressing appreciation for the good
time the members of the company
had while they were the guests of the
Winona Fire Company during the
Centennial. .

Council Transacts but Little Business Fn
day Night
There was very little done at
Friday night's meeting of the Town
Council. The principal object of
the session was to consider the
matter ot extending this year's tax
duplicate. Each member gave ex
pression to his views regarding the
extension, after which it was decid
ed to prolong the time fifteen days.
The Columbia & Montour Elec
tric Railway Company asked per
mission to put a switch ou Seventh
street above Park. The permit was
granted and a committee composed
o, Messrs Cox, Reimard and Kash
ner was appointed to locate same.
A petition complaining of the bad
condition of Chrlsman and First
streets, and requesting that they be
cobbled was presented. Referred
to Committee on Highways. Re
port to be made at the next meet
ing. Mr. Reimard stated that he could
make no report regarding the canal
as Mr. Browu, the town engineer,
had not been able to go with him
to locate the drain.
Solicitor Chrisman was instructed
to look up several titles ia order to
see who owned properties where
pavements are needed.
The supremacy of the Shamokin
and Bloomsburg Elk base ball
teams is still undecided. The two
nines made an effort to determine
the question at Athletic Park
Saturday afternoon but after seven
innings of the hardest kind of
play, the score was a tie 8 to 8, and
both sides agreed to quit. Among
the star players on the Bloomsburg
team was brother Randall of the
Catawissa News Hem. He fielded
his position in Lajofe fashion, and
at the bat, well, he hit the ball so
hard once that it didn't come back
to earth for about five minutes, aud
then the players had difficulty in
finding it. He could very easily
have made a circuit of the bases,
but he didn't want the run to count
that way. The other players, all
of whom .distinguished themselves
were: John Conway, Clark Sheep,
Chas. Vincent, Alex Cohen, Chas.
B. Ent, Dan Hummel, Tom
Hennessy and John Reighard.
