tiua.uehanna, Nov. 10, The other
night a mnn at Rust flush treed what
he snpposed to be u coon and climbed
the tree to dislodge It. He encountered
a porcupine, which tilled IiIh face and
hands with quills, and caused hint to
fall heavily to the around. The en
laged animal then descended the tree
nnd attacked the hound dog, Minding
it In one eve and filling Its neck and
mouth with quills. The man was ren
dered unconscious, and was found by
a searching party the next morning,
"The fretful porcupine" went hence,

SOOTHING THE BKUEAVKD.
Some time since a .Susquehanna
county woman, tired of life, hung her
self to an apple tree. The evening af
ter the funeral service neighbors called
upon the husband to offer their con
dolence, and to cheer him up as best
they could. One of the party ventured
the remark that death was probably
nearly painless, to which the bereaved
husband leplled: "Wa-al, 1 hardly
think so. She must have kicked dread
fully, for she shook off more'n a
bushel of my best apples!"

This afternoon will be an oft day for
the Scranton High School eleven,
which, 'will not take part in any jrrld
Iron contest, but will content Itself
with watching the match at Athletic
park between St. Thomas college and
the Carbondale Indiana. This same
promises to bn a good one. The teams
arc evenly matched nnd are both com
posed of big, strong players.
The loral boys will probably go Into
the game with the same line-up that
has upheld the Purple and White In
the majority of Its games this season.
The Injury to Emmett Klrkwood's an
kle In ttoc Wyoming gnme, has laid
up that haid-wroklng young player,
nnd he Is now receiving treatment nt
a central city hospital. His place at
end Is likely to be filled by A. Mc
Donald, who may bo supplanted at
tackle by Burke, or Joe McDonald.
Hndglus, the Meet-footed, fierce
playing half back of St. Thomas, Is
a Carbondale Indian of last season,
and has on various occasions this year
played with his old comrades. They
count on lilni at full back today nnd
he will probably be lined up against
the collegians. Hanson Is another ot
the crack Curbondallans, and Ihe en
tire Indian back field is a fast and
strong one. The game will star', nt 3
o'clock sharp.
The High School team was to have.
Journeyed this afternoon to Horns
dale nnd played the oft-postponed
game with the High School eleven
there. It was learned, however, that
the Honesdule men were unable to
put a strictly school team in the l'.eld,
In fact, that the greater part of the
eleven were outsiders. As a result the
local pigskin chasers cancelled the
date, and will today take a day off.
Next Saturday. AVIIkes-Barre High
School's fast eleven will be the at
traction at Athletic park.
Piofessionel foot ball has this year
secured a grip on numberless cities.
In which Iheie Is no representative
university eleven, and these teams,
generally made up of splendid ex-college
athletes, are making professional
foot ball as popular as ever was base
ball in the height of its glory. In
Western Pennsylvania there are a
number of crack paid elevens, the or
ganization of which was prompted by
the great success of the Duquesne
Country and Athletic club's invincible
heroes of last year. Homestead Is this
fall represented by an eleven on which
a few of the stars are Arthur Poe and
Church, both Princeton idols, Bemls
Pierce, the giant Carlisle Indian, Pete
Overfleld, whom the Pennsylvania
'Varsity men swear Is the greatest ot
college centers: Miller, the fleet-footi"!
half back of the Carlisle IndlanAt and
Hall, Yale's strong ex-end. Dave
Full!!, who when he played atiBrown
university was considered one of the
fastest half backs on the gridiron, is
another of the 'team's luminaries, and
Winstoin and Quarter Back Richard
son are two more of the eleven's star
players. Ralph Hutchinson, last year
quarter back on the Princeton team,
is captain of the Greensburg eleven,
on which he plays in his regular posi
tion. Seheca, the Indian who was
picked last year by some writers for
the position of half on the .ill-American
team, plays one of the backs,
and Steckie, the big tackle who was
one of the crack players in the west
last year, and Duval, of Cornell, are
two other players on the team. The
Latrobe team, another professional or
ganization, numbers among Its men
Knight, of Lafayette, and Gelger, of
Pennsylvania.
A'bbatichio, the Italian base 'ball
player, who formerly covered second
bag for Philadelphia, Is playing full
back on the Latrobe professional team.
He is a splendid punter nnd drop
kicker, and has Invented a now mint,
by means of which the ball, after strik
ing tile ground, shoots along In a man
ner which makes It exceedingly diffi
cult to handle and pick up.
Hudson, one of, If not the greatest
drop kickers that ever put a hostile
goal In danger, is now playing with the
strong Duquesne team. The little In
dian has scored a big hit with the good
people of Pittsburg.
William Eagan, for many years the
Idol of the Syracuse base ball tiopu
lace, Is dead. Eagan, who was popu
larly known all along the circuit as
"Bad Bill," was the crack second base
man of the Eastern league, and for
awhile played with Plttwburg, In the
National, and there, too, made a great
record. He became involved In domes
tic troubles and while crazed with
drink shot his wife. He died only a
few days ago In Syracuse of injuries
thought to have 'been caused by a ball
which once hit him In th"iTlde. Eagan
was undoubtedly a great player, a
splendid fielder, clever base runner and
strong bntsman. He was up to every
trick of the trade, and It is doubtful If
any player In the country, with the ex
ception of Hughey Jennings, ever
worked with Huch success the hit by
a pitched ball game. In nearly every
6
fr:
no
match Eagan managed to bring his an
atomy In collision with the ball, nnd
thus he presented with his base. And
now It seems that It was a, pitched
ball which caused his death. Eagan' a
vicious sobriquet was the result of his
defiant attitude towards rooters In
general and very pugnacious dealings
with umpires In particular. Ho was al
ways a favorite In this city.
The Commercial Bowling club ot this
city last night visited Wllkes-Uarre
and there bowled against the crack
rollers of the West End Wheelmen's
team.
Today's 'big college games will be
played as follows! Yale nt Princeton,
Indians at Philadelphia. (University o
Pennsylvania), Cornell at Easton
(Lafayette).
Champion Jeffries has at last come
out from his shell of reticence nnd now
declares his willingness to take on both
Otis Ituhlln and Tom Sharkey. While
In this elty he expressed his willing
ness, even eagerness, to meet the Akron
giant, but spoke contemptuously ot the
Irish sailor as a physical wreck, and
sali, that a match was out ot the ques
tion. However, great men have the
same right to change their minds on
occasion as lesser mortals, and a bout
between the champion and brawny
seaman will provoke much Interest
throughout the sporting woild.

That the life of a professional ath
lete of any suit Is not one of roses Is
a well-known fact, and the enieer of
the man who depends for a livelihood
upon his prowess on the wrestling mat
Is no exception to the general rule.
Charles Leonard, the man from New
ark, who was Tuesday night defeated
by M. J. Dwyer, at the Bicycle club,
gave a sound bit of testimony to, this
condition of affairs, while talking with
n Tribune man during his short stay
here.
Leonard came to the city a stranger,
and evidently felt himself one. "All I
wunt Is fair play," lie remarked,
doggedly, time after time, and In talk
ing to the writer he told or a little acci
dent which happened to 'him in Eng
land and which had, In a way, cut Ills
eye-teeth.
"It was some yeais ugo," he said,
"tliat T took on a match with a fellow
In England. It was a city of about
HO.OOO Inhabitants, and I deposited a
$2.10 deposit with a London paper. From
the beginning of our wrestle he played
foul and at one time dug his flnser
right Into my eye. with the lesult that
f lost the sight of that optic for just
nine months. Well. I couldn't stand
for that," the wrestler remarked, with
a peculiar glint In his eye, "and Mr.
Englishman wasn't in it condition to
give me any tUssle. shortly afterward.
Well, when I left that hall In a car
riage, I was followed to the station by
a howling mob, who threw stones and
mud at me, half-blind though I was,
and cursed and reviled horribly. It wns
all the police could do to keop them
from attacking me. And," he added,
ruefully, "the worst of It all was, I
didn't get my money. That blanked
English paper held back the entire
sum."

KVANSVIUjK. WIS., Xov. II. -A
woman cured ot catarrh of twenty-live
yeais' .standing was the . easiun of
I'erunit being Introduced to the In
habitants of Kvansvllle, Wis. From
that time to this there has been a
great demand for Peruna In this vicin

cured.
It is hi this manner that I'eruu.i
spreads from town to town and fiom
state to state. No sort of advertising
could have given 1'eruna the reputu
tion It has. The seeiet of its success
is that it makes cures. It cures old
cases of catarrh where other remedies
have failed. This ought to make any
remedy popular.
Air. ('. if. Harden, of hlvausvllle,
Wis., writes the following letter:
"Dear Doctor Hartman: I wish to
write to certify what Peruna lias done
for me. I read of Peruna In the pa
pers, of what It would do for catarh,
and sent for a bottle. This was the

recovery of Mrs. Kllzabeth Prater Is a
very striking Instance of the wonder

estimable lady has been an invalid
from catarrh of the stomach nnd bow
els for twenty years. No wonder her
friends are very enthusiastic over her
recovery. She writes: "It is through

am permitted to
write you this
letter. I have

for about twen-ty-fl

"I began the use of your medicine

have taken nine bottles of Peruna, and
can say that I believe I am cured of
my troubles, and I think I am enjoy
ing as good health as any old lady of
my ago could expect. I am seventy
one years old. 1 recommend Peruna
to sufferers wlierever I may meet them
and others of my friends are being
benefited by it. I think it is a God

"I will always be thankful to you
for your medicine and kind advice, and
trust that many others will take your

KLG1X, IUj. In a very recent com
munication from this place comes the
news that Mr. Arthur Krnest Kldd, a
well known architect of that city, has
made a complete recovery from ca
tarrh of the head, from which he had
suffered for a nearly a quarter of a
century. According to Mr. Kidd's
statement of his own case Peruna has
scored another victory over a case of
chronic catarrh
of long standing.
He writes the fol
lowing from 18
Hamilton ave:
"I am 42 years
of age, and have
had catarrh of
the head for over
half of my life,
as a result of
scarlet fever, fol
lowed by typhoid
fever. I got so
bad that I was
almost constantly coughing and clean
ing my throat. The catarrh greatly
impaired my eyesight, and the hearing
In one ear, and reduced my jvelght to
110 pounds.
"I tried nearly every catarrh remedy
advertised, besides a great many dif
ferent physicians' treatments, all of
which failed and the physicians would
finally tell me that I could not bs
cured In this climate: that I ought to
go to a dry climate, etc.
"I had heard and read of Peruna,
and finally decided to try It two
months ago. I have now taken seven
bottles nnd weigh 172 pounds. Never
felt happier or merrier. Peel tip top."

Peruna can be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with a promptness
that Is unecjualed by any other remedy.
If a cold has settled in any portion
of the body and produced catarrh, it
Is generally thought by people that
they must suffer on year after year
without any hope of cure. This is not
true, however. Peruna cures such
cases. Thousands of testimonials that
can never be used attest this fact.
Any one. wishing free literature on
this subject should address Dr. Hart
