Accompanied by two of Philadelphia's best photographers 1 met the actress on the stage after the performance. She proved a most con-genial lady, a pleasant conversation-alist and a most amiable person in every way. Before we could take the pictures, however, two firemen ran a couple of sections of hose across the stage, connected them with water plugs while others brought in Chemical ex-llnquishcrs and a dozen stage employ-es stood ready for what—they hardly knew themselves. One would have Imagined we were a band of lire-bugs about to experiment upon a desperate pian. Everything proved successful, the theatre didn't even catch on fire, ny, one was hurt and everybody escap ea. • • • The local councils have passed an Ordinance, imposing a fine of twenty dollars for placing circulars, advertis-ing dodgers or other waste paper OB si reels, sidewalks, pon Ins, or in ves-tibules or yards or residence. This Is one of the many foolish moves made by the present administration. It Is also a blow to labor. The opponents of this measure have learned, through Careful sources, that the ordinance will deprive circitlur distributors of OVC1 per day in wages, win wltl from $i!000 to $120nn a day as work from printing offices, will cripple fifty-one industries making a specialty of this class of work and will probably deprive somebody of about $15,000 per day. or over $6:1,0110 per year.

The Hancock Basket Ball team made their appearance in this borough again on Saturday evening and for what they thought, and so did everybody else, was their last appearance. But after B hard game the score stood a tie at 11 and It will be neccessary for the leaders to return here latter on and play tHe tie. The Hancock aggregation came here on Baturday evening fully determined to take a game from the locals, know-ing that the home team was badly broken up and brought a large number oi rooters along to sing the praise of victory, but In this respect they were badly left When the local team assembled on the floor, the spectators were brought to their feet In welcoming John Craw-ford, the clever attack of the second team. Into the game. "Jack" is a brother to "Hooker" and bids fair to become as great a player as Bob Is, but no doubt the spectators were almost struck breathless when they saw him line up against one of the Haldcman Brothers. "Jack" was only signed on the big team last Tuesday and it was doubted in many mind of the local fol-lowers if he could play a little bit with any of these two great defensemen but the showing he made shows that he has the making of a good player. He played the whole game and although he did not score a goal he prevented his antagonist from making a point also, something that some of the play-ers who have been playing with teams like Hancock for a number of years Cannot boast of doing. In the first half of the game the lo-cals played rings around the Phlludel-phians and at the end of the half had succeeded in scoring nine points while the visitors had only contributed two points to their score. But In the second half the hard playingwhich liny had done in the first half began tell-ing on them and Hancock scored 9 points against two by the locals The features of the game was the playing of Ruth and Lang for the home team and of Mathers and Muckett for the visitors.

Rel ZoebeL The local Musket Ball team proposes to make arrangements' with some first class team, before the season closes to play In this borough who will In satisfied with their expenses and give 1, receipts to the injured mem-bers of the team. This Is a very char-itable act on the part of the manage-ment and one which should und in all probability will meet with the hearty approval of the people of this borough. It is n source of much expense to the injured players of the local team and the money which would he realised from this game would help to pay the doctor bills or in whatever way It Is needed, This move, however would again benefit the local tenm next year for the players would not be afraid of running into debt even If they do get hurt. The move Is a good one and all the local team has to do Is to secure a good attraction and the people of .this town will undoubtedly attend to the rest of the bargain. —:o:— STANDING OF THE CLUBS. W.

Accompanied by two of Philadelphia's best photographers 1 met the actress on the stage after the performance. She proved a most con-genial lady, a pleasant conversation-alist and a most amiable person in every way. Before we could take the pictures, however, two firemen ran a couple of sections of hose across the stage, connected them with water plugs while others brought in Chemical ex-llnquishcrs and a dozen stage employ-es stood ready for what—they hardly knew themselves. One would have Imagined we were a band of lire-bugs about to experiment upon a desperate pian. Everything proved successful, the theatre didn't even catch on fire, ny, one was hurt and everybody escap ea. • • • The local councils have passed an Ordinance, imposing a fine of twenty dollars for placing circulars, advertis-ing dodgers or other waste paper OB si reels, sidewalks, pon Ins, or in ves-tibules or yards or residence. This Is one of the many foolish moves made by the present administration. It Is also a blow to labor. The opponents of this measure have learned, through Careful sources, that the ordinance will deprive circitlur distributors of OVC1 per day in wages, win wltl from $i!000 to $120nn a day as work from printing offices, will cripple fifty-one industries making a specialty of this class of work and will probably deprive somebody of about $15,000 per day. or over $6:1,0110 per year.

The number of i i due to heart troubles were 56, e, 26; alcoholism, 5. The total number of deaths due to fevers of var- Inds was 22. The measles, now quite prevalent, caused 21 deaths, and 29 persons died from la grippe. • • • In response to a recent query the Bulletin gives the following SB the most direct and desirable drlv- Ing route from Conshohocken to l'rlnci ton.

The Hancock Basket Ball team made their appearance in this borough again on Saturday evening and for what they thought, and so did everybody else, was their last appearance. But after B hard game the score stood a tie at 11 and It will be neccessary for the leaders to return here latter on and play tHe tie. The Hancock aggregation came here on Baturday evening fully determined to take a game from the locals, know-ing that the home team was badly broken up and brought a large number oi rooters along to sing the praise of victory, but In this respect they were badly left When the local team assembled on the floor, the spectators were brought to their feet In welcoming John Craw-ford, the clever attack of the second team. Into the game. "Jack" is a brother to "Hooker" and bids fair to become as great a player as Bob Is, but no doubt the spectators were almost struck breathless when they saw him line up against one of the Haldcman Brothers. "Jack" was only signed on the big team last Tuesday and it was doubted in many mind of the local fol-lowers if he could play a little bit with any of these two great defensemen but the showing he made shows that he has the making of a good player. He played the whole game and although he did not score a goal he prevented his antagonist from making a point also, something that some of the play-ers who have been playing with teams like Hancock for a number of years Cannot boast of doing. In the first half of the game the lo-cals played rings around the Phlludel-phians and at the end of the half had succeeded in scoring nine points while the visitors had only contributed two points to their score. But In the second half the hard playingwhich liny had done in the first half began tell-ing on them and Hancock scored 9 points against two by the locals The features of the game was the playing of Ruth and Lang for the home team and of Mathers and Muckett for the visitors.

Rel ZoebeL The local Musket Ball team proposes to make arrangements' with some first class team, before the season closes to play In this borough who will In satisfied with their expenses and give 1, receipts to the injured mem-bers of the team. This Is a very char-itable act on the part of the manage-ment and one which should und in all probability will meet with the hearty approval of the people of this borough. It is n source of much expense to the injured players of the local team and the money which would he realised from this game would help to pay the doctor bills or in whatever way It Is needed, This move, however would again benefit the local tenm next year for the players would not be afraid of running into debt even If they do get hurt. The move Is a good one and all the local team has to do Is to secure a good attraction and the people of .this town will undoubtedly attend to the rest of the bargain. —:o:— STANDING OF THE CLUBS. W.
