THE SGRANtPN tTBIBUNE MONDAY; MOltNINO? KOVElilBEIl 18; 189. CARDOIIDALE. CARBONDALE BEATEN. feat Taey Outplayed Moat of tha Seraaton , - .... Taam. -. , . Atthouch the Alomnl Foot Ball team did not win from Scranton Business college Saturday afternoon, tbey put up T such an excellent game that they do not ' feel down-hearted at the result They k had prepared to play the Bualneaa col lege, but there, were very few men on the -vlstlng- team who belonged to that institution. Indeed, the beat players, and those who did the atar work, were "composed of outsiders. Among these "were Zanff. Walsh, McQouldrlclc and othera of the Scranton Bicycle club , team, so it was aa much a game against i them aa against the Business college. The day waa an Ideal one for the sport, and a large crowd took advan- t tare of the weather and went to the game. The attendance was probably ' the largest of the season. Bcranton kicked ofT and the runner waa downed In an Instant. Then slow ly, but surely, .the! , Carbondale boya pushed their heavy opponents down the : field. The gains were not long.- but they were constant and It looked aa If we should soon score. But, after push ing It half way down the field, Scran- - ton 'received the ball on downs. Then ' It waa that the work of their borrowed players came In. Their Interference waa good, and making a long sweep around the ends, they made big gains. However, they had had the ball but a .' few minutes, when time was called. The next half Scranton seemed to have worn off her dullness and started ' into the game with a dash. Time and again they circled the ends for big gains. This was the only way they 'could,' as the center was like a atone wall. (When on their 6-yard, line, Carbondale received the ball and at once began to push It out -of the dangerous posi tion. However, they loBt the ball on a fumble and then,. with a mighty push, ' Scranton had the ball over the line. 1 Steel kicked the goal; the score stand ing 6-0. This was the only score made ' in the game, the game ending with the ball near the .center of the Held. All the Carbondale men played a good game, Brennan, Crane and Korbes probably excelling. The tackling of Crane at full back was clean and hard, and he deserves much credit for his ' work. The game', 'which otherwise would have been moat exciting and In teresting, was somewhat .spoiled by the constant wane-Una; on both sides. Next Saturday the Alumni team goes to Httston', while the High School team will contest against the Wilkes-Barre high school. This will be a good game . and should bring out a crowd. " sir. rettew to run. Will Try for the Nomination for. Mayor ( of Carbondale.

Mr. Rettew, although as yet a little reticent upon the subject, acknowl edged the rumor as true. He said that it waa the desire of many of his friends that he -should again enter the field and. upon consideration he had decided to do so. Thin la something that is not generally-known, although -rumored about the city The many friends of Mr. Rettew will be delighted to hear It, and he wt'l be gladly welcomed back in the politi co I arena.

Dangerous weapons were found In all parts of the house, daggers and fire arms, showing he was afraid of being robbed. Expensive and elegant clothing- was found, whioh has been stored away for years.

How the Armies of Europe Show I'p I Comparison. Comparative statistics showing the lengtha of atcpa and their number per minute, furnish a good basis for esti mating movements of the various Eu ropean armies while on the march. The Russian soldier makes from 112 to 11C steps of 28 Inches each per minute; the Italian soldier, 114 steps of 31 inches each; the German, 115 of the same length; the Austrian, 115 of 2$H Inches each, and the French 120 of the same length. Theoretically the Russian covers 200 feet a minute, the Austrian 280, the French and Italian 295 and the German soldier 300. Commenting upon these figures, Le Temps states that In France It Is proposed to diminish the length of the military step In order to Increase the endurance of the soldiers. In or der to do this the length of step should be In proportion to the helghth of the man; In order to prevent untimely fa tigue' it should not exceed three-sevenths of the helghth. This would cor respond to a length of step of 27 Inches, as the average height of the sol dier is 5 feet 5 Inches. The present step of 28 inches would, according to this, be proper for an average height of 6 feet 9 Inches. It Is curious that the greatest . endurance In marching Is shown by the Turkish soldier, although no statistics have been taken nor ex periments made as to what length of step is most proper for their height. Choctaw Trcatoa Law. Guthrie, O. T Nov. 17. There Is great excitement in the Choctaw na tion over the final passage of the bill making it treason, punishable by death, to sell land to a non-citizen, to attempt In any way to curtail the powers of the Choctaw .government, or even to talk up or urge a change of government, or the allotment of lands, or opening of the country to settlement.

Supposed Halo Ia Found to Be a BIcachod Human Skull. Atlanta, Mich., Nov. 17. A atory Is told In these parts about a big buck deer with a white halo around his head. A hunter from Clyde. O., was near enough to see a white ball on the buck's head between the antlers, but he had heard the atory about the divinely protected deer and did not shoot him. Many refused to believe the story, thinking it a bit of superstition, until last week, when a hunter on his way from McKinley to this place, brought In a pair of monster antlers. Impaled between them by several prongs was the skull of a full grown human being. The ghastly empty ey sockets were iasieneu so tigntly as to resist all ef orts to remove them. The skull was nearly white from exposure. It looks as If It had been ten years exposed to in wcatner. DON'T WEAR fl TRUSS all of your There's no neces sity.
