Team Six To Nothing.
Clean Exhibition Of the Sport Given
by Both Teams Alike.
Opening Game Very Encouraging One
to All High School Supporters.

The Cony High School team faced its
first opponents of the season at the
Trottng Park grounds, Saturday
afternoon. The NassalbOrO boys came
down with good expectations of victory,
but went home defeated, to 0. The day
was Il fine one for football, and quite
Il crowd assembled at the grounds to
watch the contest. The Conys came on
to the field first, followed after a few
minutes. by the Vassalboro team.
The latter looked considerably heavier
at first, but when the two teams
came to line up, it was seen that they
were pretty evenly matched in the mat
ter of weight. The game started at
$50 Captain Little of the Cony
High won the toss, and chose to defend
the western goal, Vassalboro taking
the ball. Metcalf kicked to Lewis on the
% yard line. and he, making a slanting
run across the field, gaining several
yards, but being finally forced outside.
The ball was brought in i yards. Vas
salboro tried Il line buck but made no
gain. A repetition of the attempt cost
them two yards. making seven to gain
on the first down. The next play was
liiHDltu, dllu fttdtn Vi augusta, Iell on
the ball. Cony now began to pillow Vas
Salboro's line toward the goal. Hussey
and Metcalf made each Il first down.
Little made four and half yards and
another first down. Hussey made two
plungcs into the lire, the last one TAX
ing the ball over. Score: Cony, 5; Vas
salboro, 0. Metcalf kicked a pretty
goal, making the score to 0, after six
and one-half minutes of play.
Vassalboro kicked to Metcalf on the
1o-yard line, and he brought the ball
back Is yards. Little, Metcalf and
Hussey now made a number of gains
through Vassalboros line, and then
Little made a beautiful lodging run of
% yards around the left end Good
work by the COny backs placed the ball
we'll within Vassalboro's territory, and
it looked like another score for the
Augusta boys, but an unfortunate FUN
BILE put the ball in Vassalboro's posses
sion, Lewis falling on it. Vassalboro
made first down once, and then
lost four yards on an attempted crisis
cross. Nassalboro punted 20 yards. and
Sanford fell on the ball, the half ending
here with the ball in Cony's possession
on ner 35-yard line.
Vassalboro kicked to Metcalf at the
opening of the second half, and he adj
vanced - yards before ne was downed.
A line plav by Hussey Melted no game.
A second tumble now gave Vassalboro
the ball again. and this was their
chance to gain. The full back was
driven AT the Cony center, but failed to
gain. On the next play he gained Two
yards through the line, ana the rlght
half made it first down. Two more
attempts made four and a half yards
for Vassalboro, Heath saving the frst
down by a pretty tackle. Then Vassai-

For the second time within week
Thomas Burke found himself within
the inner circle of the municipal court
Saturday morning, on the charge OF NJ
toxication. When taken into custody,
Friday night, by C.ficer White. near
the factory boarding house. it did not
REQUIRE any consultation of doctors TO
tell that Thomas was drunk. 1t was
not the kind of intOXiCation Whlcn
sends Il warm wave of happiness over
the body and causes one to view things
as through rose colored glasses. but the
kind which has voltage of about
$500 and terminates in temporary re-
tirement from everything pertaining 10
life excepting the action of the heart
and lungs. And this eclipse of physi-
cal activity came on as soon as Thomas
had landed upon one of the downy cots
at the station. Saturday morning ne
was as full of good impulses as he had
been OF poor liquor on the precedihg
night. perhaps because of ANTICIPATION
of a 80 day sentence from the judge.
When he came into court he was READY
to do almost anything to secure the
leniency of the judge, and held one
grimy hand in readiness TO raise y
toward the ceiling of the court room
and swear that he wouldn't uriuh
another drop for two years. But thS
Judge did not want him to sweat anu
after a brief reference to the error VI
his ways. gave him 80 days on tte "i't
and Thomas went UP.

Probably the most invetcrate and
successful hunter after the lucky four
leaved clover in the city is Dr. A. Z.
Titcomb, the popular dentist. The doc
tor is an carly riser, his favorite route
for a morning walk being down along
the railroad track and when on these
strolls his eye is constantly on the alert
for these supposed cmblems of good
luck He. has not only found the four
leaved variety. this season. but also
stems bearing five. six and seven leaV-
es. and one morning down by the oil
cloth factory in Hallowell, ran across
a regular colony of clover freaks. he
picked n bunch from one small patch,
and in the collection which he brought
home he had 81 stems with four leaves,
~ with five, seven with six. and sig
with seven leaves. There have been
several stories going the rounds of the
papers about the number of four leaf
clover which has been found, but the
doctors find heads the list.

1t is safe to presume that the public
at large understands this. Souvenir
or no souvenir no one in this city who
is anyone, or who thinks he is any
one, will be absent from the Augusta
Opera House on Thursday, oct. /. The
theatre as a matter of course will be
packed from pit to dome and every
available inch OF standing room will be
occupied this would be the case were
it announced that no scenery, no COM
pany. no souvenir no anything, Lewis
Morrison only would be seen for the
last time; there is no one anywhere
who does not want to be present at the
last and final performance. The public
understands the spirit in which Mama
ger Jules hurry is Offering the souve-
mir. the same as it understands the
spirit which has prompted him to sur
round Mr.. Morrison this season with n
company of far greater excellence, and
a production of much greater preten-
sions than any heretofore accompany
ing Mr.. Morrison. 1t is not a com
mercial spirit, but an artistic and
friendly one, a desire to make this a
memorable event. The souvenirs
which are on exhibition, a cursory
glance even, by the most casual OBJ
server, would convince anyone, that
they are too expensive TO be given
away for Il business motive. They arc
the expression of friendly sentiment
and not commercial advertising. each
souvenir a mementO of the last APP
pearance of Lewis Morrison as Me-
phisto in this city.

The Della Collins had another one of
her erratic spells. yesterday forenoon.
She started at about 10 o'clock to leave
her dock at this city. to go to Gardi-
ncr. There was a strong southerly
wind blowing which made it difficult to
swing her, and in addition it was said
that she did not have a great deal OF
steam up. The schooner Mary f.. Olys
was lying at Purinton's wharf, and
when the Della finally got pointed down
river she fouled with the schooner ana
broke her forward flag staff short off.
The schooner WAS not injured, and
after drifting back to her dock, the
Collins started once more. at about IL,
and got away IN safety. Nothing more
was heard of her trip down river, and
it supposed She reached Gardiner With

Letter to Russell E. Weston.
Augusta, Maine.

Dear Sirs: Clothing is just like
paint. It fits or it don't; it wears or it
don't; turns weather and water or not;
and goes out of fashion
What do we wear clothes for? Did
you ever think of it? Different per-
sons have different reasons, no. doubt.
but one paints Devoe for beauty, to be
in the fashion, and keep-out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint
Ihere is beauty in paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And buildings are
costly and fashionable; put-on a wa
terproof two or three coats of paint.
and your buildings last as long as you
keep them dry. 1t costs nothing to
paint; II costs your buildings not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts: disap-
pointing paints are the paints that cost.
Yours truly.
