The Fot Ball Game Drew a Big Attendance. SHENAND0AHS WEAKENED. They Made a Hard Fight In the First Half and Apparently Exhausted Themselves Lesslg's Good Work. About fifteen hundred people witnessed the foot hall game at Ashland yesterday afternoon between the team of that place and the eleven of Shenandoah. Great In terest was manifested In it, ns each bf the team's hai won n game from each other nnd yesterday's contest was to decide the supremacy for the season. There were several features on the grounds that did not reflect credit upon the Ashland management. It was quite evident that the Slfanandoahs wero to be beaten, by fair means or foul, and the In terferences made by outsiders were of n dl (graceful character. At one stnge of the game an outsider drow one of the Shenandoah players Into n flstlc encounter that lasted several mtnutes. 'It Is but fair to state, however, that the result of the contest was not Affected by these disturbances. The Ashland men were well trained and drilled and used their superior weight nnd strength to excellent effect; but Lesslg, of Shamokln, really gained all advantages forthe team. He was like a giant when surrounded by the visitors. The Ashlands were the II rat to appear on the field and the game commenced at four o'clock. Ashland took the kick off and Jones got the ball. He ran about five yards for the first down. Huben Hose was given the ball and he made a run of thirty-five yards around Ashland's left. It was the longest run of the game and the only good gain the Shenandoahs made. Ashland secured the ball on no gain nnd they steadily advanced it to the Shenandoah goal line. Here they lost it and the ball whs punted back to Shenan doah's thirty-yard line, it was Ashland's ball and Lesslg, of the Shnmokln team, carried it for gains every time, crossing the line with about two minutes to play. Powell kicked the goal. The Shenandoahs had put up a strong fight, and the spectators were in excellent humor, but in the second half the visitors were weak, Ashland took the ball on Shenandoah's kick off nnd worked it up the field by Lessig's superior playing. Here the Ash land captain, not wishing to let all the credit go to Shamokin, gave the ball to Powell, who crossed the line. Ho also kicked the goal and the gnme ended on account of darkness with the score. 12 to 0 in favor of Ashland. ' The rumpus that caused so much indig nation occured about ten minutes after the first half started. Sbortull, of Shen andoah, received a brutal kick In the side from an unknown man In the crowd that was hugging the teams. A riot was ripening, butafter a delay of half an hour, during which there were no less than half a dozen scrimmages on the field between players and spectators, the game was started again.

If some of the young women and girls of this town knew the dangers they en counter they would not be so Indifferent In the selection of their pastimes and would travel less with men of whom thi'y know nothing. Oae of the dangers is sliowh in the case of the man who was arrested yesterday for defrauding n hotel keeper out of a bill. While In the town this man was seen In. the company of several well-known young women. When arrested' yesterday he said his troubles was caused by one of the young women with whom he associated stealing his picketbook. He said he did not know her name, nor did he wish to prosecute, His story wns not believed, but how easy It is for such men to cast an indelible stigma upon the character of n young woman ? Flirting with strangers may afford lots of fun, but that fun frequent ly means a great sacrifice. Itisopportune to sny that there Is an axiom among "men of the road" that a stranger with a high silk hat and nn ulster can create more stir nmoug the young women of Shenandoah than nny circus ever billed, and it would perhaps be as good as a curtain lecture if many of the young women could hear some of the conversations when the strangers exchange lists of the available mashes In different towns.

All the necessary apparatus will bs brought to thU town, and the lightn ing effects, (he thunderbolt and the rnln, of fire, will be given on n scale of magni ficence never before attempted.

The ball season always works 1 freaks of some kind, TOPICS OF THE TIMES. "Toby Wise" Furnishes Food For Serious Reflection. THE ROOKERIES SHOULD GO Many Over-Crowded Localities That Are Dangerous to the Public Health. Timely Action Needed. It appoars strange that the property owners on Main street, both on the east and west side of the street, should allow the rear end of their properties to be en cumbered with old stables, when their properties could be made more valuable and nt the same time more healthy, by the erection of substantial dwellings, ns a number hnvo already done. The revenue to be derived from such an Investment will more thnn double the actual cost within a few years. The idea of tolerating foul-smelling stables less thnn ISO feet from the main business street of the town is abominable, nnd not nt nil in keeping with the high vnlue of these lots. Every dwelling erected back of Main street, east and west, will find n ready tenant nt a good rental, and with tho addition of modern conveniences more desirable tenants and higher rents can be obtained. There are undoubtedly too many stables In the heart of the town for the health of the Inhabit ants. 1 hope to see these rookeries razed to the ground and more substantial structures erected in their place. In making n tour of the streets the other day I was particularly interested in examining somo of tho rookeries on the outskirts of the town, and n few that are located almost within a stone's throw of the main streets. Tn each instance I found them in a filthy condition, and in most cases overornwded. The Board of Health could be kept busy for two years In these localities nlone, without ntten tion to other matters for which it has been created. Most of these places are owned by some of our lending citizens. much to their discredit. Other towns would not tolerate nnyth'.ng of tho kind. Just Imagine human beings living in these shanties packed like sardines in a box ! It is from this quarter that most of the police cases originate. It Is the source that fills the coffers of the justices and their constables. An Inspection of these places will cause wonder why more epi demics are not prevalent here. The Hoard of Health and Sanitary Committee of Council should make the owners of these rookeries toe the innrk. It is useless for me to designate their places of loca tion, because they are all known to every official in lb ; town. Some of the owners have become wealthy within a few years from rents, nnd others nre in n fair way of getting there. Relegate the rookeries to the rear unless they be kept in a more healthy condition nnd in not so crowded n condition. ThU Is neces sary forthe health of the community. In this respect I might draw the atten tion of councilmen to the practice in dulged in by many of throwing aBhes nnd utter of all kinds upon the streets. There is an ordinance prohibiting this, but it is never enforced. Some of the alleys nre used ns n dumping ground for this pur pose. It is one thing to enact an ordi nance and another to enforce it. This Is a true test of the competency or incom petency of our borough officials. Tony Wise. For Sale T-day. Ons car strictly old corn. One car fine middlings. One car baled straw, Ten tons chop.

They were served with Ice cream and cake. The social was nrronged by Ilev. T. Maxwell Morrison, the pastor, and Misses Katie GUver and Mary Johnsin, teaohers in the Sunday souool, who deserve much credit for the iuterest they take in chil dren. A Novel Idea. Rev. Robert O'Boyle, pastor of the Trinity Reformed church, has hit upon a novel Idea to keep track of the attendance ut his church. On Sunday evening he will station in each vestibule of the church two young men who will be ex pected to list the names of all persons who enter. The object is to nsoertaln what members of the church nre not attending the services and also learn the name of strangers who attend. Captain Lelb's Funeral. The funeral of the late Captain Levi C.
