TROLLEY CRAZE CONTINUES
A Large Party From Ashland Made a
Trip over the Traction Line to

mer's Plight.

Trolley parties have become the rage in
this section Of the region and almost every
night one or more cars pass over either the
S|chuylkill Traction or the Lakeside rail
way loaded with a merry crowd of young
people. Basket picnics and similar pas
times seem to be ignored and all attention
seems to be directed to the more modern
source of pleasure, "doing the trolley"
Last night the deserted streets of town
were suddenly enlivened by the arrival of
one of the Traction Company's summer
cars, which was filled with a jolly crowd
of young people from Ashland and other
points west and handsomely decorated
with red, white and blue bunting. The
motor man stood at his post with a sN eep
of bunting across his breast and a smile on
the spectators on the sidewalks the ex-
preston, "We're right in it"
Long tin horns and COW bells were ma
nipulated by the %trolliosers with a vigor
that made the arrival of the car distinctly
heard for many squares and no room was
left for doubt that the excursionists were
squeezing all the fun they could out of the
trip. The young ladies displayed ribbons
of blue and red on their dresses and the
young men carried ribbons of similar
color on their golf caps and in the lapels
of their coats. The colors worn were
those Of the Henrietta Club of Ashland,
an organization that is becoming quite
prominent in the society circles of this
county, The car stopped at the corner of
Main and Cherry streets, where the
trolliosers alighted and commenced to do
the town" Some scattered and went
visiting friends, but the most of them
travelled in groups and walked up and
down Main street, occasionally giving
blasts from long tin horns they carried.
One tall, thin young man wearing a
light colored suit, a new pair of russell
shoes and with a golf hat decorated with
red and blue ribbon poised on the back of
his head got astray from the main body
and attracted the attention of a party of
small boys on a side street, The appear
ance of the young man vas too much for
the boys, who knew nothing of the eXcur-
sion, and they were soon in his wake.
They ran after him for quite a
distance and as they passed a
a man asked, what is the matter, boys ."
One of them shouted back, "Oon't yer see
the crazy man 3" and hurried on to keep
up with his companions. A report soon
spread that an insane. man was roaming
the streets and, of course, the crowd in pur-
suit swelled until the young man found
the main body of trolliosers again and
sought rest and relief from "the madened
crowd"

formed the party were Misses Name and
