A Contented Woman.

That the Lyceum Theatre this even
ing will have its seating capacity taxed
to its utmost, there can be no doubt, II
one is to Judge by the unusual demand
for seats. That the occasion will be a
Joyous one there can be no doubt, when
the announcement that Hoyt's "a
Contented Woman" the funniest work
Of this clever playwright, will be the
attraction, and it comes with its wealth
of scenery and gorgeous costumes, the
same as used during its phenomenally
successful run at Hoyt's Theatre, New
York.
The piece is replete with spirited and
catchy music, and no end of entertain
ing specialties. The cast is the strong
est Mr.. Hoyt has ever sent out, and is
headed by Miss Belle Archer, noted for
her artistic acting and beauty

FOOT BALL NOTES,


The Scranton high school foot ball
eleven INDUCED in "a vigorous practice
yesterday afternoon preparatory to their
Thanksgiving game at Binghamton. n
large number of the teams partsans will
accompany the players to the Parlor City
and a special car has been chartered
for them. All who wish to accompany
the boys are requested to arrange terms
with Manager JOhr Horan, of the team.
The train wiz leave Ecranton early Thurs
day morning and will arrive at Binsham
ton about II O'Clock. The two elevens
met early in the season at Athletic park,
and BinEhamton proved victorious by
the score of so. High school has been
strengthened since then, however, ami
confidently expects to win the game.
1t is likely that the School of the Lack
awanna will again meet the high school
on the gridiron. Manager Horan, of the
high school, is trying to arrange a game,
and it is probable that local enthusiasts
will soon see these two strong teams
lined up against each ether.
There have very seldom been years in
which such huge foot ball scores were
piled up as in this enc. Mention has al
ready been made, in these columns, of
the University of ChiCagos great victory
score of 100. A week ago last Saturday
Franklin and Marshall met Temple col
lege, of Philadelphia, at Lancaster and
the ultimate result was 9G-0 in favor of
Franklin and Marshall. That teams full
back, Peters, established a record in goal
kicking after touchdowns by scoring four
teen goals out of sixteen attempts Out
of the twelve men who were on the field
for Franklin and Marshall during the
or n
downs. Last Saturday the Carlisle In
dams met ObeIlin college at Carlisle.
The men from Oherlin were buried under
the score of Sl-O the fierce red men tear
ing the Westerners' line to pieces and
scoring almost at will. The strong State
college team visited the veteran players
who make up the DuGuesne c. and A.
club Saturday Afternoon and when tha
clouds Of battle had drifted away the
Duquesne warriors were Erimly smiling
| over n 6i-5 game in their favor. All
| things considered, the season has proved
record breaker.
Satisfactory arrangements have been
made by the management of the st.
Thomas college foot ball eleven with
Villa Nova college, and as a result,
THANKSGIVING day will see one of the
| hardest gridiron fights ever witnessed in
this city at Athletic park. The teams
will have many partisans the st. Thomas
| boys, of course, as local players being
! the favorites. With Villa Nova, how
| ever Captain Nallin and Quarterback
| Joe Weir are both old 81. Thomas play
| ers, and they will find as a result many
| friendly faces in the large crowd which
| will undoubtedly surge out to the park
! The game will be far from n one. sided
one, as the ST. Thomas boys are thor
oughly in edge by reason of their defeat
| by high school recently and mean &c
| show their local admirers what they still
can do. They have been indulging IN
hard steady practice for the past week
and will be in fine condition to meet thei!
