New England League Standing.


The opening New England League
game on the home grounds at 8. Is o. clock
this afternoon should be witnessed by a
large crowd, and it probably will, as
much interest is manifested in the fine
team that represents Portland. The
Dovers, which will be the visiting team,
are playing good ball and Capt. Slater
team should prove good attraction.
There will be short parade previous to
the game with music by the American
Cadet Band.

DOVER, N. H., May 9.--The opening
game of the season here was played to-
day between the Portland and the home
teams. The game was close but was not
brilliantly played. The pitchers were
very erratic and many bases on balls
proved costly. The fielding of both clubs
was good. The Dovers were outbatted
by their opponents. The feature of the
game was home run by Mains, the re-
suit of the longest hit ever made ON the
grounds. The Dover Cornet band fur

voTE for your favorlte teacher.

THE New York World opines that
the effort of Oliver Sumner Teall to
make the "no treat" rule fashionable
should receive every possible encour-
agement. To abolish the custom Of
treating would do more than any
law has ever done or probably ever
will do to stop drunkenness and to
check that excessive drinking which
stops short of drunkenness. The late
Charles f. Briggs used to say that
temperance consisted in never taking
a drink when somebody else wants it,
However that may be, every man of
the world knows that a very large
amount of drinking, and most OF the
intemperate drinking, is done as a
matter of courtesy, under a sort of
pressure, and as direct result of the
custom of treating" 1t will he a
very bad day for the saloons, but a
good one for the public, when it shall
be as "bad form" to treat TO drinks as
it would be now to treat to boots or
suspenders. Why should one man
pay for another mans whisky any
more than for his socks, anyhow? And
especially, why should one mans
absurd desire to treat" put upon an
other man an obligation to drink
liquor when he doesn't want it?
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-06-09

SEVERAL boom cities in the West
have collapsed financially Of late.
Some Of these that were no larger than
our small boroughs in the East have
block after block of magnificent busi.
ness buildings and huge hotels built
after the style of Chicago and Denver
with tier upon tier of offices piled sky
ward, as if the place were a veritable
metropolis. Nearly all of these We're
built with Eastern capital. The fore
going facts, which we have extracted
from the Reading Herald, lead that
excellent Journal to comment as fol-
lows, and its opinion will apply
equally well to this community. at
is strange how many people there are
in the East who wouldn't take cents
worth of stock in any public improve
ment at home, who will become regu-
lar plungers in the way OF improving
small towns a thousand or two thou
sand miles away, Notwithstanding the
fact, that, while their home business
is solid and Substantial and almost
sure TO bring returns, nat far away is
as likely as not all wind, and there
the additional disadvantage that tl.ey
know nothing personally about IT,"
There is more Shenandoah money sent
away TO build up towns and boom
enterprises beyond the Mississippi
than, if kept at home, would be suf1i-
eient 20 fiji all our business streets
with splendid buildings
