Those gay and festive gondoliers,
about whom there has been so much
talk, are now busily plying their oars
about the lagoon. As their boats skim
along with their bright colored stream
ers trailing i'm the water behind them
and their gaudy hangings huttering in
the breeze they remind one of the
pictures of Venice in the art galleries
These sunburned sons of Italy are gath
ering in American coin at a great rate,
for the gondola has become very popu-
lar with pleasure seekers from all lands.
Among the most novel modes of con-
veyance at the fair is the sedan chair,
which is fast growing in favor among
young women of an aesthetic turn of
mind. 1t takes two strong Turks to
handle one of these oriental carriages,
and now that the weather is getting
warm the exertion makes them per-
spire very freely. Occasionally some
young man with 4 taste for luxury will
engage one OF the chairs, and as he is
logged along he will sportively stick
his feet out of the windows and assume
an air of utter languor for the express
benefit of those who are trudging along
on foot. Such a scene never fails to
create great deal of fun, and every
body joins in the laugh Good nature
seems to possess everybody who visits
the fair.
Outside of the fair grounds the fakirs
and peddlers fairly swarm, and the din
they keep up in calling their wares and
attractions is enough to ruin an ear
trumpet. Everything in the shape of
souvenirs is there in great profusion,
badges, books and what-not. Here the
popcorn man balls up his corn and bawls
himself hOarse trying to sell it.
There the man with a guide book
deity a;rts his accordion-like publica-
ton under your nose and in stentorian
tones invites you to part with your
hard-earned ducats. These are of
harmless order. and should you patron
ize them You will get some value for
your money, but there are those who
will fleece and rob you at the slightest
opportunity. Light-fngered gentry are
scattered through the crowds, and IN
less good watch Is kept up for them
they are apt to get familiar with per-
sons vsluables on very short notice.
There are also innumerable side-show
attractions and fake enterprises to
separate the unwary stranger from his
money. The oleaginous individual with
a tough mug and uproarious apparel
MARBLES his seductive tale of wonders
TO be seen in some two-by-four stall or
wagon, and all for the small sum of
quarter of a dollar, twenty-five cents,
two dimes and nick" They are all
running what they call suckers
game" and any money invested with
them is simply a purchase of superfu-
Gus and improbable experience

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO

the value to health of the pure liquid

A TIE GAME.
Martins Ferry's Football Representatives
Tie Beaver Fails.

Martins Ferry's Football Representatives
Tie Beaver Falls.
Discouraged and crippled and fearing
defeat the Martins Ferry Y. NJ. G. A.
eleven went to Beaver Falls on Salur-
day to meet the team there. They had
only eleven men and no umpire or re-
fierce. They returned somewhat dis
figured but happy, having tied the
Beaver Falls eleven, the score standing
to 9. The battle was hard fought
ono, neither side scoring in the first
hall. The team that went was very
light one, averaging not over l52 pounds,
short Montgomery, Al Davis and Frank
Davis; this was enough to discourage
the boys, when they were to play an
eleven like Beaver Falls. The places Of
the absent players were filled b. Hal
Watson, James Sweeney and Sam
Marker, all light weights and these like
the other eight played great bali
With odds against them they went on
the field determined to mako u good
showing.
They played on the fifteen.yard line
Of Beaver Falls nearly all OF the first
half, and were on the ten-yard line
twice. The fight was the most stubborn
ever witnessed here and Brennemen,
Mitchell and Watson were hurt and
Gjertsen'a leg was cramped. Martins
Ferry had no Substitutes and the in.
jured men and uninjured fought deRper-
ately Tor victory in the second hall In
this half Beaver Falls scored the first
touchdown and kicked goal. Just be-
fore tho close McAnmch, OF Martins
Ferry, stole the bail rs was dono on
Thanksgiving, aud made touchdown,
followed by goal, making to &.
Watson made the greatest punt ever
witnessed at Beaver Falls. GjerIsen
played better than ever. The way he
broke interierences was great. Mean
inch bucked the line hard. Williams
broke through the line, and downed
twice. Brennemen's work was exceed
ingly clever, and the tackling Of little
Jim" Sweeney was superb. In short,
great playing was done on both sides.
No club ever handled Beaver Falls
greasy men" like Martins Ferry.
Considering tho weakened condition
OF the team and the stiffness from the
Thanksgiving game Martins Ferry did
magnificiently, and on returning the
boys we're received by large crowd
OF enthusiastic admirers.
Steubenville's team which shut out
New Athens on Thanksgiving wants to
play Martins Ferry next Saturday and
will probably be accommodated. It is
thought this game, if arranged, will be
for the benefit OF the Y. NJ. @. A., and
will be fine exhibition. The game
may be played on the Island, at the
State Fair grounds.
