William Brandt,
There used to bo some lively old
times here when the rolling mill men
played the Conshohocken sports base
ball on Saturday afternoons. Many of
our prominent citizens used to assem-ble
in lrl8htown on Saturday afternoon
and indulge In games that were strict-ly
for blood. The score was usually
s- metlilng like 84 to 69 or 76 to 53. The
game would begin generally about two
ni lock In the afternoon and end In the i
region of 8.80. Three fourths of the'
population of the borough used to as- j
Bemble to watch the fun and there were
usually three or four fights a game. To
be an umpire on these occassions it re- j
quired one to be a good tighter, for he
was generally challenged for a couple !
i r seit.is ai each contest \i tie- eon-.
- n of the game the saloons did a
i Id • business and the merits of the
i oiild be discussed whlleanxlous
and molhers waited patiently to
the supper table. Such were the
t our early championship games.

presentation of comic opera Is now
piaying at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia to the capacity of the
theatre. It Is presenting "Foxy Quil-ler"
the new DeKoven and Smith opera
and Jerome Sykes. the famous singing
comedian appears in the title role. He
is supported by a company of 125 peo-ple,
among them such well-known sing-em
SB Helen Bertram, Julius Stegcr,
Louis Cassavant. W. G. Stewart, Harry
MacDonough, Adoiph Zink, Grace Cam-en
II Georgia Calne, Carrie Weir and
Ivini Hunter. While Mr. Sykes stands
out prominently In the new Opera, he
by no means carries the burden of the
pioductlon on his shoulders. The piece
Is well balanced, giving every member
oi i Inge and well-selected cast ample
opportunities for the display of his or
her talent. Great care was exercised in
selecting the chorus of 100 voices
Which is an unusual one, both In point
of numbers and efficiency. In laying
out the writing of this opera, Messrs.
DeKoven and Smith and Klaw & Er-langer
planned a number of choral ef-l
i is with characteristic and distinctly
original music, which the mangement
was most anxious to realize and give
lb a fullest possible value and effect. To
produce the really remarkable musical
effects Introduced by the composer Into
the opera of Foxy Quiller. Messrs.
Kiaw & Erlanger engaged the company
without reference to expense. Their
entire purpose was to give effect to the
work of the composer and author of the
book and to present to the American
' public SB operatic production which
should not only be a meritorlousainuse-ment,
but also artistic In Its every re-spect
That they Judged rightly when
they held that there Is a public In

would distinctively appeal Is well evi-denced

MANY CASES OF GRIP
Conshohocken is not behind other

bast an Incipient epidemic of la-
, ommonly oalled grip. Thi dls
ease has struck the town rather hard,
an I then are scores of eases. The
weather conditions oi the pssl few days
have been very favorable for the spread
of Ihe disease. A i.umber of physicians
wi n lasi , 11 nlng reported thai they
had many caeca on hand.
There may not be coming a sweeping
epidemic of grip such as 'the United
States bad -levaI years ago. but the
throughout the northern half of
the United States are in iroua enough
to emphasize the need of care and can

The disease is Infectious and is ear-rled

no not allow yourselw to liecome either

Tin re is a tendency to laugh at the
grip, as though it were a jocular mat-ter.
An attack of the disease is by no
means a Joke. While many recover
without any serious affects, others dll

The Officials of the Philadelphia

Take hot lemonade and a Dover's

MR. MANSFIELD EXPLAINS
To the Recorder:
Hireling to the charge made against
me in a Norristown paper recently
saying I received money for signing the
bond for the release of Mrs. Joseph
rl I wish to inform the public
that 1 do not wish to deny signing the
bond, which was Illegal, but I do want
*i understood I received no booty for
the Work. At the time of the signing
I was Intoxicated and it could of very
easily been detected by any one with
good eye sight and 1 should nol have
b 'in allowed to sign the illegal bond.
I'he main reason the thing was so
losely look'-il upwasonaccoiintofsome
eispieion of the woman being connect
•d with the wire thieving which was
carried on near our town some time
nil for the conviction of the prop-er
party a reward of $fiOfl.OO was of-ferad.
This is the reason perhaps the
OBSS was BO closely traced up. Hut
thank God the poor woman is out on
'nil again and the officer that traced
hi i ase is as wise now as he was fi.
res s years ago before it happened at
ill. and he didn't win the ».ri00.00 as
asily as It looked. I signed the bond
if I must say it again hut was intoxi-ao
ii. Inn that is no disgrnce—some of
ihe most prominent busness men of
mi- town and every other town are oft-
"ii in the same condition and are not
ashamed of It: neither am I.BoIwIshto
Impress it on the minds of the public
hanking Mr. Stemple for his brave act

the did know anything and it Is not
