FOOTBALL.

Torrington T. A. B. ard the Thomp- sonville elevens met to decide the state championship at Winsted last Thursday afternoon. The play was very spirited for the first half, Torrington scoring a touchdown and Thompsonville follow ing their example. Torrington refused to allow the Thompsonville touchdown, claiming foul or something. The game ended in a wrangle. The referee at first allowed the touchdown but rever sed his decision, claiming the game 4 to for Torrington. The referee was J. Leahey from Torrington. Thompson vile have challenged Torrington to play for S1OO side at Trinity grounds, Hart ford, on Dec. 8. Thompsonville play CTS claim they were not beaten, and it didn't appear 80 to the spectators. Tor rington has accepted the challenge, and weather permitting the superiority of those elevens will be determined. The referees decision of the game is not ex- pected to stand, even by Torrington people, and most of the bets on the game were agreed of.
 The Winsted Athletics played the Torrington Y. NJ. 0. A. at Torrington Thanksgiving morning and were defeat ed. The Torrington team far oltclass- ed the Winsteds. being older, heavier and more in training. Brett Morton, of Canaan, who was badly bruised in this game, has recovered. The Winsted Citizen says of the game:
 The football game in Torrington Thanksgiving morning. between the Winsted Athletics and the Y. NJ. O. A. team of Torrington, resulted in a victory for the Torrington team, by score of 24 to o. The Athletics were strength ened by four or five players from the Canaan team, and the Canaan boys really did about all the work that was done on the Winsted side, according to the story told by one of the Winsted members of the Athletics.
 University of Pennsy ylvanis have prov en to be wonderful football eleven and in the minds of many are the best on the gridiron, Yale included. They de- feated Harvard on Thanksgiving day, score Is to 4. but Harvard was consid erable weakened by injuries in the game with Yale. Pennsylvania has ohallsng ed Yale but it is not probable that the shrewd Hinkey will accept.
 The Yale-Princeton game of Dec. 2 was not an event for enthusiasm as the score was 24 to in Yale's favcr, Prince ton being ontclassed and outplayed all. through the game. There was no causalties.
 The crimson had chance to wave in mIld way on Saturday when the Har- yard freshmen beat Yale freshmen 12 to 6. Game was played at Cambridge.

 The Central Amusement and Con- cert Go. later the New Orleans Speciality Co.,, have given two performances here the last week, on Friday and Monday evenings, and were greeted on their sec ond appearss---- by large audience. Their show is purely variety and is as good one as ever was on our Town Hall stage. The two comedians, Netter and Williams, were great and their dan- cling was heartily encored. Mamie Gil bert, in her songs, was very taking. Chic Kehoe, the club swinger, was very clever; and Prof Dunbar. the pianist, is splendid player and received his share of the applause. Netter was especially good in his Dutch characters, and as the farce coon he was very amusing. MT F. Silvernail is proprietor of the company and has secured an efficient manager in Joseph N. Little.

Singular Reasons for not Marrying.

Singular Reasons for not Marrying.
 Statisticians affirm, says New Haven exchange, that the number of old bache- lors among well-to-do people in Con- necticut is ipcreasing. and that it comes because young men are being crowded out of employment by young women. The typewriters, stenographers and telegraphers. of the present day, as everybody knows, are largely of the fair sex, and work for much lower wages than the men used to get. The excuse for bachelorhood used to be that the women spent more than the men earned. Now it is that women earn SO much that there is nothing left for hus- bands to do.

The most Important feature about that
very common complaint, catarrh in the
head, is it's tendency to develop into some
other more serious and dangerous disease.
The foul matter dropping from the head
into the bronchial tubes or lungs is very
liable to lead 10 bronchitis or consump-
tion, that destroyer which causes more
deaths In this country than any other dis
ease. AS catarrh originates In impurities
10 the blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense method
Of treatment is TO purify the blood, and
for this purpose there is no preparation
superior 10 Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
powerful action OF this medicine upon the
blood expels every impurity, and by so
doing cures caisrrh and gives health to
the entire org .nism.

The Trenton Daily Times estimates
that Trenton has grown several thousand
in population during the past four years
and that its population is now 1920. In
order to obtain these figures it mulliplies
the number of registered votes by five,
and claims that that generally holds good.
II Lambertville's population were estmat-
ed 10 the same way, we would have over
six thousand, for there are over 1900 reg
