NORWICH soccERs WIN.
Score to in Opening Game of Sea-
 son With PIainfieId.

The Norwich Association football club opened the local season auSpi- ciously at Sachem park on Saturday afternoon, when their team defeated Plainfield to ] in the first game of the Eastern Connecticut league. Supt. John Ecc,es of the Ponemah mills put the ball in play with the kickoff at 8 o'clock. after Captain Hilton of Nor wich had won the toss and elected to defend the Taftville goal. Plainfield furnished the referee.
 The Norwich team at once got go- ing and a rapid rush was made to- wards the Plainfeld goal. Moriarty relieved the pressure with a long drive, but the Plainfield attack was decidedly weak. Another invasion of the Whites resulted in Manville scoring the first goal for Norwich with a fast shot which completely beat the goal keeper. This was all the scoring in the first half although number of shots were landed into goal which were cleverly handled by the Plainfield custodian.
 After short breather the teams changed ends, and in this half espe- cially the Norwich team ! showed a marked superiority. Finlayson scored the second goal with a beauty which just grazed the upright. An error of judgment was responsible for Plain- fields solitary point, the Norwich goal keeper leaving his charge to get at the ball. which was immediately dropped through the goal
 A free try for Norwich close in to- wards the real goal was taken by Hil- ton. He tipped the leather to F'inlay- son, who promptly steered it through. At full time the score was: Norwich goals, Plainfield 1.
 For the visitors the backs and goal kepeer played a good game. For che homesters the forwards played a fair game, but can improve a lot. especially in the combination line. The defense was the main feature of the team, the two new men, Reid center half and Caron fullback. playing a fine game throughout. The veteran Ferguson showed that as usual he could be de- pended on and was always there when wanted.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SATURDAY MARKETS.
Stock Prices Down on Further Pres sure from Professional Element.

New York, Oct. 2S-Stock market prices were weak in the chief part of the two hours of trading, on further pressure from the professional element and commission house liquidation of speculative accounts. Substantial in terests gave no important support, but appeared willing to take offerings on the decline, which ran from l to 3 points among the leading issues, with the chief losses in United States Steel Great Northern, Northern Pacific. Un- ion Pacific. Reading, Southern Pacific Amalgamated Copper and New York Central. Bear traders were especially aggressive near the close. their opera tions apparently being based on the failure of the general list to show any improvement after the first flood of selling orders had come upon the mar ket and on a further sharp advance in sterling exchange that suggested the probability of exports of gold to Lon don in the current weak. Demand rates rose 90 points to the level that practically makes the shipment of the metal cheaper than the settlement of obligations in the ordinary way The demand for exchange was urgent, while offerings were not heavy.

SCORE WAS A TIE.
Mohcans and All Stars in Exciting
 Football, 10 to 10.

The great game of foot aall between the All-Stars and the Mshicans was played on the Cranberry lot on Sun day afternoon, before crowd of about 500, who braved the raw, chilly air Be- fore tho game started both teams lined the All- Stars would carry the lighter Mohican boys off their feet, but when in the game things proved to be much different. The Mohicans proved to have the star of all stars, who was Fielding, the rugged fullback who plowed through the-All- Stars line as he would through a piece of paper.
 The game started Murphy kicking to Mcintyre, who only had chance to run the ball back few yards when lie was downed. The Ali-Stars could do noth- ing against the Mohicans, and lost the ball at this point. Fielding showed his strength and plowed through for the first touchdown. Near the close of the first half he again broke through and but for a tackle around the neck by Lawler no doubt would have made another touchdown.
 In the Second Half.
 The second half opened with Burdick kicking to Lawler, but he was unable to carry the ball any great distance. Here they lost the ball and Fielding again smashed the line, the ball land ing so near the line that a dispute arose, and finally the ball was brought back, and this time Fielding broke away from the whole team and sailed over for his second touchdown.
 The All Stars Score.
 GalIivan kicked the ball behind the goal posts and it was brought back by Murphy. Here the AIl-Stars by a fake forward pass scored their first touch- down by Galliv3r. Burdick kicked to Gallivan, who fooled the Mohicans by a return kick to Mcintyre, who scored the second touchdown. A kick was raised here about the play and the game came to an end. Score 10 to 10.
 The team work of both elevens was very good, but the Mohicans showed. the better game when it came to old fashioned football The teams lined up as follows:
 Mohicans-Rfordan le, Burdick It, Patten lg, Bradlaw c, Bendict rg, Voltz Tt. Baker re. Murphy qb. Guerning lhb. Burdick rhb. Fielding fb.
 All Stars-McCorm le, Colligan It, McGory lg, Desmond c, Caulkins rg, Slsttery Tt Futile re. Gallivan qb, ,Don- ahue Ihb. LI4awler rhb, Mcintyre fb.
 Umpire, Carter.
 After the game Captain Mcintyre is- sued the following def to the Mohican manager: He ought to take his team down south and get the yellow streak tanned out of them and learn the points of the game. My team was weakened by the absence of Sullivan, Frew and Foley"

NEGRO TAKES ALL BLAME ON HIMSELF
EXHIBITION. OF. cHIvALRY. IN CONVICTED MAN MAKES STRoN CONVICTED MAN MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION ON coURT-TRIES TO SAVE WOMAN.

Selma, February s.-(Special) )-An ex- hibition of chiva1ry in negro about to be sentenced for life in the city court Monday was the somewhat unique scene witnessed by Judge Mabry and court officers. Nose Davis, who was indicted with Emma Rayford for the murder of Charles Rayford, the husband of the lat ter, was the central figure. The jury had found both negroes guilty and fixed the punishment for the man at life inn prisonment and for the woman at 20 years imprisonment.
 Five negroes were in court awaiting to receive sentences from Judge Mabry When Nose Davis was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, the negro arose and in a manner most respectful said to the court: Judge, I want to say a few words. 1 wanted to say something at the trial, but my lawyer did not want me to. alone am responsible for the death of Charles Rayford Emma did not have anything to do with the killing and am willing to take any punishment that you may say, but l ask that the woman be allowed to go free, she is inno- cent.n
 Of course the judge could take no ac- ! ton in the premises but the appeal made quite an impression upon the little knot of court officers and spectators. Will Lake. another negro charged with the murder of a negro at the county poor house was sentenced to ten years. Phillip Hatcher and Joe Cain, who killed negro on Chillatiche creek for the purpose of robbery were sentenced to life Imprisonment.

ECZEMA 4 GERM DISEASE
Myriads of Microscopic Animals lnfest
 the Skin of the Sufferer.

When the skin of an eczema sufferer itches and burns in untold agony, do you know what is going on within the pores of that skin?
 Myriads of microscopic animals are gnawing at the flesh, breaking down the fine cells and causing testers, thick scales and that terrible itch. The germs multiply faster than nature can throw them off
 Now, there is only one way to get rid or these germs-they must be killed in their lodging places Dosing the stomach or trying to cure the blood will not, of course, kill the germs, and that Is why all the blood remedies fail in eczema ; that is also why salves which do not pen citrate can-do no permanent good.
 Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly compounded in liquid form will penetrate the pores of the skin and kill the eczema germs If properly mixed with thymol, glycerine and other ingredients (as in D. D. D. prescription this wash will build up the tissue of the skin and pro- mote It's healthy growth, giving nature chance, while killing the germs faster than they can multiply.
