TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
"TOby Wise" Furnishes Food For
Serious Reflection.
THE ROOKERIES SHOULD GO
Many 0yer-CrOwded Localities That Are
Dangerous to the Public Health.
Timely Action Needed.

1t appears 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-
numbered with old stables, when their
properties could be made more valuable
and at the same time more healthy, by
the erection of substantial dwellings, as
nu mber have already done. The revenue
to be derived from such an Investment
will more than double the actual cost
within few years
The idea of tolerating foul-smelling
stables less than 15O feet from the main
business street of the town is abominable
and not at all in keeping with the high
value Of these lots. Every dwelling
erected back of Main street, east and
west, will find ready tenant at good
rental, and with the 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. hope to see these rookeries razed
to the ground and more substantial
structures erected in their place.
In making tour of the streets the other
day l was particularly interested in
examining some Of the rookeries on the
outskirts Of the town, and few that are
located almost within stones throw of
the main streets In each instance
found them in filthy condition, and in
most caseS overGrowded. The Board of
Health could be kept busy for two years
in these localities alone, without atten
| tion to other matters for which it has
been created. Most of these places are
owned by some of our leading citizens,
much to their discredit Other towns
would not tolerate anything of the kind.
just imagine human beings living In
| these shanties packed like sardnes in a
box 1t is from this quarter that most of
the police cases originate. 1t is the source
that fills the Golfers of the justices and
their constables. An inspection of these
places will cause wonder why more epi-
denies are not prevalent here. The Board
of Health and Sanitary Committee Of
Council should make the owners of these
rookeries toe the mark. 1t is useless for
me to designate their places of loca-
tiou, because they are all known to
every official in the town Some Of
the owners have become wealthy within
a few years from rents, and Others are in
fair way of getting there. Relegate
the rookeries to the rear unless they be
kept in more healthy condition aud in
not 80 crowded a condition. This is neces-
sary for the health of the community.
In this respect l might draw the atten
tion of councilmen to the practice in
dulged in by many of throwing ashes and
litter OF all kinds upon the streets. There
is an ordinance prohibiting this, but it is
never enforced. Some of the alleys are
used as dumping ground for this pur-
pose. 1t is one thing to enact an ordi-
nance and another to enforce it. This is
true test of the competency or incom-
potency of our borough officials

ASHLAND WAS
THE WINNER.
The FsOt Ball Game Drew a Big
Attendance.
STEAMBOATS, WEAKENED.
They Made a Hard Fight in the First
Half and Apparently Exhausted
Themselves -LeSSig'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, as each OF the
teams had won a game from each other
and yesterdays 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 II was quite
evident that the Shenandoahs were to be
beaten, by fair means or foul and the in
references made by outsiders were of a
disgraceful character. At one stage OF
the game an outsider drew one of the
Shenandoah players into a fistic encounter
that lasted several minutes.
1t 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 and strength to
excellent effect; but Lessig, OF Shamokin,
really gained all advantages for the team.
He was like giant when surrounded by
the visitors.
The Ashlands were the first 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. Ruben Rose
was given the ball and he made a run OF
thirty-ive yards around Ashland's left.
1t was the longest run of the game and
the only good gain the Shenandoahs
| made.
Ashland scared the ball on no gain and
they steadily advanced it to the
Shenandoah goal line. Here they lost il
and t he ball was punted back o Shenan
doah's thirty-yard line. 1t was Ashland,
ball and Lessig, OF the Shamokin 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 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 and 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. He also
kicked the goal and the game ended on
account of darkness with the score 12 to 0
in favor of Ashland.
The rumpus that caused so much indig-
nation occurred about ten minutes after
the first half started. Shortall, of Shen-
andoah, received brutal kick in the side
from an unknown man in the crowd that
was hugging the teams. A riot was
ripening, but after 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.

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 they
know nothing. One Of the dangers is
shown in the case of the man who was
arrested yesterday for defraudinR hotel
keeper out of bill. While in the town
this man was seen in the company of
several we'll known young women. When
arrested yesterday ne said his troubles
was caused by one of the young women
with whom he associated stealing his
pocketbook He said he did not know
her name, nor did he wish to prosecute.
His story was not believed, but how easy
1t is for such men to cast an indelible
stigma upon the character of a young
woman' Flirting with strangers may
afford lots OF fun, but that fun frequent
ly means great sacrifice. Itis opportune
to say that there is an axiom among "men
of the road" that stranger with high
silk hat and an ulster can create more stir
among the young women of Shenandoah
than any 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

HELPING THE DEMOCRATS,


What we want, democrats or re.
publicans, is plenty of work and
wages" These were the words Of
Gov. Mckinley at indianapolis, and
the little Napoleon must be credited
with having in these few words made
a better democratic speech than any
other man of national repute has vet
offered to the listening people of the
country. The common verdict will be
that even the eloquent ana logical eff
fort of Senator Voorhees,, which briefly
preceded that of the Ohio governor. was
a weaker appeal for the principles of
democracy than was that embodied in
the single sentence above quoted. H.
is the concise statement of a great and
Impressive truth.
When the republican party found ito
way back to power in 1890, there was
plenty of work and wages were good.
Ihore was an abundance Of money in
the United States treasury; business
was tlourishing and general prosperi.
ty pervaded the affairs 1ftAc country.
But imm""''t-,y afterward the Nc
uiil became a law and the in
evltable results of its practical opera
tons manifested themselves in a ret
iograde movement all along the line.
BUSINESS was Frustrated and the do.
pressing effect extended to every
branch of industry, The contents of
the treasury were dissipatcd in extray-
agance, and popular Indignation
showed itself by restoring democracy
to power in 1892.
As the direct result of this movo.
the iniquitous Mckinley laws
were repealed, despite the o.
centralized wealth to uphold them.
ana at once the revival of all our ma,
'erlal interests set in. Idle factories
mills and furnaces started up. Bust,
ness is revived. The evils sprinpina
rom pernicious legislation have been
overcome. The condition,
whlch afford plenty of work and
wages are restored. They vera
brought about despite the most siren.

uncomfortable position, he felt the
back OF his neck with his hand, where
the wound was, and then glanced over
the counter. The room was empty,
and the noisy ~clattcr of the troopers
could be heard down the road. Ed
elm ran to the back door. Not ,
trooper was in sight. In an i%..,ant
he had gained the creek and the
marsh, jumped into HI. skiff and pad
died up the creek under the bridge
ihto the dense marsh beyond. He vas
s!ic, tor it would have been a yerv
hard thing for a guide who knew all
about the marsh to have found him,
n impossible for the union troops,
who knew very little about the local
1ty, to do SO. The troopers stayed in
the village until morning, thoroughly
searching it and the surrounding coun-
try, while the patrol from the river
secured the marsh, but all to no DUR
pose.
Late in the evening of the second
day a dilapidated figure crawled out
OF the rank reeds and made his way
to a house which stood a short dis
lance from the creek. 1t was Dick
Edelin,, torn, dirty, muddy and very
hungry. His rap brought a young
girl TO the door, who received him
with a joyful cry and dragged him
into the house, which belonged to Ed
elin's first cousin. After a hearty dinner
Edelin, went back to the swamp so as to
escape any danger from troopers who
still fingered in the neighborhood. He
made his camp in the very center of the
swamp, upon a little island only a few
feet square, in a wilderness of reeds
and mud. There he lived for several
months until he was fortunate enough
to escape and join the southern army.
morning during his stay in the
swamp n could hear the echo of a gun
on the marsh, and the men at the store
would say: There's Dick Edelin, get
ting his breakfast" and then thew
would laugh.-Haddo Gordon, in n. Y
