FOOTBALL.
HEBRON 20 ls; SOUTH PARIS O.

HEBRON ~ l6; SOUTH PARIS o.
The South Paris High School boys
were bound 70 have game of football
Saturday. They put out their posters
early In the week for the game as an.
nounced last week, which WAS q return
game with Gould Academy. Along the
middle Of the week they got word that
the Gould Academy team WAS not CON-
ing, ou, Was going to Rumford Falls to
play instead.
OF course the boys were mad, but they
went 10 work at once TO get the Bridg-
ton High School team. Friday night
word came that the Bridgtons were not
coming.
Saturday morning a messenger WAS
sent 10 Hebron to get the second eleven
from the scademy-and he got them.
They arrived early Ia the afternoon and
the game was called about hslf-past ?.
The Hebron team IL heavier than the
South Paris team, and OF course has the
advantage of practice Ia team play
against team play. They won. as
was 10 be expected, but the South
Paris BOYS really held them In pretty
good play on the whole, and played q
coming game.
Hebron Kicked of. and the ball Was
showed back and forth over the field for
considerable time before any scoring
WAS done. A long run by Parsons and
n lucky punt by Wilson helped South
Paris materially, but they lost the ball
shout ten yards from the line, and He
bron kept showing Il down until they
scored = touchdown, but failed TO kick
goal.
The play from the second kickoff WAS
about as short as Il could be. The ball
was kicked of 10 league, who ran down
the field, around the end, nobody sue
ceeding In stopping him, and scored
touchdown and q goal. That was all
there was 10 IL, and II didn't take but =
minute.
There was only little time left Of the
first half, snd there was no more scor-
ing.
Hebron scored another touchdown
but no gosl-quite early In the second
half, but that WAS the last OF the scor-
ing. The South Paris boys seemed TO be
getting their second wind, and began 70
90 through the line some, and played 4
snsppier game. They had the ball pref
" well down toward the line when time
was called on the second half.
A return game will probably be p.sy-
ed st Hebron.
Capt. Hubbard Of the Hebrons broke
his thumb early In the game, and WAS
taken 20 surgeon. league was put on

notwithstanding Judge Hsskelrs
brief statement that you can't make =
thief OF al honest man by getting him
drunk. men who are under the influence
OF LIQUOR will sometimes do things which,
after they sre once more sober. they
think they wouldn't have done for any
consideration, except for the liquor.
Rum recently got one man from South
Paris into a little worse scrspe than
usual. He Ia man past the prime OF
life, Who has been employed by q South
Paris firm for q year or two. DE Is
described By his sequaintsnces as q
pleasant, honest man snds good work
msn when he is himself, but he has a
most voracious appetite for liquor, ana
goes on frequent sprees, some OF which
have cost him good money In lines Tor
intoxicstion. He has had much fault 10
find because he couldn't get all the
liguor he wanted here, and whenever the
spell came on has generally started Tor
lewiston, where he seems 10 have had
no difficulty In filling up.
Some two weeks since he hired team
OF John Cummings and went 10 Lewis
ton with il. There he went on pro-
longed spree, which brought him TO the
verge OF tremens. When he got back
here, after a week or more, he was with
out the team, which he had converted
into money In Lewiston.
Being then In condition TO realize
his situation, he kept shady for day or
two, but finally, on the advice OF friends,
decided to 90 TO Cummings and tell the
story.
Now everybody who has lived 10 this
vicinity for q few years knows that you
can't hide one Of John Cummings teams
where he can't find IL, and find it quick.
He went straight 10 Lewiston, and with
| a little assistance found the man VINO
bought the team. Cummings walked up
70 him and asked him what he had done
with the team. He didn't know any
thing about the team, but after little
direct conversation admitted that ne
bought q team for twenty dollars; that
he thought il WAS all right, because the
old msn said he had been peddling and
had got through aud had no further use
for the team. He had sold the team
again, though, In pieces
Some further direct conversation was

Colonel Maurel. president of the Drey.
fus court martial in 1894. was called.
When Labori finally disposed of him he
left the platform with the scarab Iook of
q man awakened from nightmare. The
counsel had drawn from the colonel a
confession that the secret dossier was
communicated 10 the Judges of the conrt
martial In 1894 by Colonel Du Patv do
Clam. This ayowal produced a sei,sa.
ton.
Maurels declaration that he only read
one OF ths do o.uments. which had no Of.
feet upon him, AZ his mind was ALREADY
made up, was nullified by his subse ouent
declaration that this one document suf.

Labori then put a series OF searching
questions TO General Mercier with refer

dossier 10 the court martial and bis AT.

to reply to some questions and there were
sharp passages at arms between counsel
and Colonel Jouaust. who upheld Mercisr
while the dialogue bet ween the general
and Labori became acrimonious. The
lawyer made a strong point of the part
ksterhszy played. Mercier said he did
not know Esterhazy; only saw him once
at the lola trial.

I,abori. "but srrely (ienerai Marcisr was

evidence In the Esterhazy prosecution.
What cried Labor, "Gsnsral Mercier,
who was chief sccnser OF Dreyfus. did
not even follow the proceeding, of the
Esterhazy trialY"
Loud murmurs OF indignant comment
came from the audience. which Joaaust
Immediately suppressed.
Counsel then brought Mercier TO
his assertion that 3j,OOOOOO francs was
