HIGH SCHOOL BEATEN.
Played an Exciting Game with the
EclipSe Team.

The High school was defeated by the
Eclipse foot ball team at Athletic park
yesterday afternoon by score of TO
5. The Eclipse team played an around
the High School, although much lighter
in weight. In the first half the Eclipse
hammered the High School on both
sides, but lack of practice caused con-
siderable fumbling. High School Sc
cured the ball and it see-sawed back
and forth during the entire half. The
half was finally ended 90 In the be-
ginning of the second half the Eclipse
rushed the ball up the field to High
Schools 5-yard line, then by tumble
lost it. High School kicked off. Ed
wards of the High School got the ball
and ran fifty yards. He was tackled
and the ball was secured by the
Eclipse. 1t was given to Acker who
ran the length of the field for Il touch
down. Slattery kicked a pretty goal.
Eclipse kicked the ball off to High
School, and on account of the large
crowd surrounding the lines Baur, of
the High School got away from all
tackles and interference for a touch
down. But despite an excellent chance
he failed to kick the goal. The half
ended with the score 6-5.
The Eclipse are composed OF players
selected from both the High school and
the School of Lackawanna. The line
up of the game was as follows:

John NJ. Gunster was next introduced
and during his remarks said that Penn

beef trust, a milk trust, and a coal
trust, but next Tuesday the stomach of
Penn was going to unburden itself. At
this juncture Ex-Governor Pattison APP

Hon. John p. Qunnan made few
remarks on the election, and then the

Davd's hall last evening. The speak,
crs We're Attorney George Howell, can
didate for congress. and Robert E, Pat
tison, candidate for governor. About

Colonel f. j. Fitzsimmons and b, b.
Antrim.
Esdras Howell was chairman, and
after few remarks expressing his
hopes for the coming election, he intro
duced Attorney George Howell. In
part, he spoke as follows:
In this campaign, | believe we
should talk less about party platform
and more about the honesty and in
tegrity OF the men who are seeking
office. I want it understood that l am
not warning against capital, but against
the misuse and abuse of money. 1t re-
quires a million of dollars to put

long will it be before the presidential
chair will be knocked down to the
highest bidder; how long before city
offices will be put up at devils auction
and also sold to the highest bidder?
Il tell you, my friends, the money
standard today is altogether too high
and the political standard too low.

chine rule. l believe in party leaders
but not in the iron rule of the political
boss, who seeks to gain his ends by in
bribery, and persecution.
Then again, am not talking against

good thing, but l am warning against
the men who deliberately refuse to en-
force the law when it says that cor
poration shall not act as common
carrier and at the same time mine the

der, of Allentown; II. S. Alworth and

In the borough hall at Throop there
was a crowd that tested it's capacity
to the utmost and listened with the
closest attention to Dr.. II. II. Harris
NJ. w. Lowry and r. \. Zimmerman
who discussed the merits of Republic
canism and analyzed the qualifications
of the men who are seeking the sup
port of the voters of the county next

VICTORY FOR MRS. HENRY.
Supreme Court Sustains the Decision
of Judge Kelly.


The opinion of the Supreme court in
the case OF Mrs. Mary Henry against
Anna r. Zurfieh, administrators of
John Schaffer, deceased was received
here yesterday. The opinion was writ
ten by Justice Dean and sustains the
opinion Of Judge Kelly, refusing a new

Schaffer was a merchant at Dunmole,
and when he died in April. 1898, he left
an estate valued at about $4,000. Joseph
and Mary Henry We're customers of his.
They owned Il house and lot at Dun-
more, the value of which was variously
estimated by witnesses at from 5000
to $4,000. Henry was q man of bad
habits, and encumbered the property
Schaffer gave credit to Mrs. Henry to
the amount of $1,500, and the dwelling
and lot was then conveyed to him, the
consideration mentioned in the deed
being $1,000.
Mrs. Henry alleged that this was not
the real consideration, that it was
understood between the parties that
the debt of $l,500 was to be cancelled,
that Schaffer was to pay some small
bills owed by Henry and his wife, and
that she was to receive in addition
$4,000 in cash. This money was not
paid. and she sued his administrators
to recover. The defense contended that
the consideration was 1.-The amount

The jury before whom the case was
tried returned a verdict i'm favor of the
plaintiff, and a new trial was asked.
which Judge Kelly the local judge, in
an opinion, refused. Justice Dean in
closing his exhaustive opinion. said:
After a careful examination of the evil
dence and law bearing upon it, we find
no error that calls for a reversal, there
fore the judgment is affirmed"

salt, heat, and apply to the affected
liberia could be cured by a gargle of
salt and water if taken at the start,
gargling every hour, or half-hour if
necessary. One teaspoonful of salt in
a glassful of water is cure for
many stomach troubles, relieving
collie and indigestion when taken
regularly once a. day. Wash the head
occasionally with salt and water to
lessen the falling out of the hair.
Salt dissolved in warm water is rest

famed eyes. Brine is recommended
for mad-dog bite. Wash the wound
well with the mixture, then bind it
with cloth covered with salt. One
remedy for snake-bites is common
salt mixed with the white of an egg
to the consistency of paste, then
spread on the wound. Salt-strewn
carpets sweep easily and are left with
frightened colors.-Woman's Home

looking for trouble, 1 could not help
thinking that the Martinique reptile
must be related in some way to the
vicious water moccasin which is to be
found in the st. Francis basin, up in
Arkansas. They are savage, and
what is worse and more of it, they
seem to have organized for offensive
and defensive purposes. There are
millions upon millions of these snakes
III the basin of the st. Francis River
between the Sunk Lands and the
mouth of the river, few miles above
Helena have seen the lakes alive
where it would be impossible for a
farm hand to water his horse after
his days work on account of the
snakes. The snakes feed in the edges
of the lake during the evening, and as
soon as an effort would be made to
water the horse at certain place they
would make a charge on that particu-
lar place, wriggling in from the lake in
great numbers. They seemed to
resent it as an encroachment upon
their rights, and no amount of 'shoo-
ing or chunking would drive them
away. They would simply choke the
drinking place. have seen this same
thing happen a number of times. Of
course, it would be necessary to take
the horse elsewhere for watering pur-
poses. They are extremely poisonous.
and | have heard of many instances
where the moccasin bite killed ami
mails. Dogs in that part of the coun-
try frequently die as the result of be-
ing bitten by water moccasin. They
are not bad about running away when
they are in a flock. In fact, the run
ming had better be on the other side If
1t happens to be either near the Be
ginning or at the end of the snake
season, for they really seem to be
more vicious and more petulant, if l
may say it, at the extremes of the sea-
son than at other times. I suppose
there is some natural reason for the
fact. At any rate, it is fact. Com
ing back to the point, l will put the
particular brand of Arkansas water
moccasin to which l have referred
against anything in the reptilian line
to be found in Martinique, or at any
other place, for that matter, for l real
ly believe they are the most desperate
ly vicious snakes on the face of the
earth. New Orleans Times-Demo-
