ASHLAND WAS
THE WINNER.
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.
The teams and positions in the game
were s

A Dangerous Pastime.
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.

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.

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.
