Carrie swain Point, Pi,,o,

Carrie Swain, the actress, had rather a
thrilling experience in Harrisburg Christ
mas night. After she had gone TO bed at
the Lochiel hotel she heard noise at one
OF her windows, which sounded like rap.
Receiving no response TO the demonstration
the author OF it raised the window and
landed in the actress room. She suddenly
seized her revolver and aimed it at the 10
truder, but did not shoot. Instead she
screamed at the top of her voice aud her
maid servant aud some of the hoto ON
plOyes rushed TO her room to find out the
cause OF the c1mmotion. BY this time the
unweicOme visitor had escaped TO the out
side. The actress gave full description
of the person who had entered her room
and the next morning the proprietor OF
the hotel informed Ross Reno, young
man, that he would no longer be accom-
modated at the house. Reno is the son
of General NJ. A. Reno, Of army notoriety.
Caraie Swain declined TO mako any in(ur-
nation against the young man.

THERE has been another atrocious
case of illegal hanging down in Missis-
sippi. Like the series of murders which
led to this fearful execution of Judge
Lynch's process, the fiendish work Of
the frenzied mob had mo political sig
nificance." But it is dark blot upon a
civilized community that such violations
of the law should meet with popular ap
proval and be visited with no punishment.
The South and West have in times past
had more Of this kind of occurrences
than the earlier settled portions of the
country, but of late years mob hangings
have been disgracefully frequent in the
Northern and Middle states, and they
have no room TO reproach Mississippi
for the shameful event which has Just
stained its soil. Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, have recently al.
lowed these infractions of the law to go
by unpunished, and every time they
occur the bonds which hold society to
order become laNer, and the sanctity of
life and law is more and more en-,
dangered.

The lrousides baseball club have secured
niue players for uext season. Henry aud

they have been negotiating for some time,
have telegraphed that they will accept the
terms offered These young men reside in
Springfield, Ill and played the latter part
ot last season with the Quicksteps, of Will
miugtou, making excellent records. The
other players are as follows Williams and
Madden, OF Westtield. Mass, pitcher and
catcher Oldheld. Of this years Irousides
catcher aud general player; McTamany late
OF the Ross and Hartyille, centre fielder /;
Nick Bradley, of the Trenton, right
AeIder Ell. Green, of the Easton, short
stop, and John Green second baseman.
The club will engage another man who
will be put at first base. Madden, of the
Westfeld battery, is an excellent third
baseman or short stop. The club so far is
composed of strong men and they will be
able TO compete With any OF the teams.
Manager Diffeuderfer will represent the
new Lancaster club at tho meeting of the
Interstate association on Wednesday.
The Ironsides will be represented at the
meeting of the Union League IN Philadel-
phia on Thursday, into which they are
applicants for membership.
The Sporting Lifs of yesterday states
that Pollard will play in the Lancaster
nine. The managers OF the nine state
that they have not engaged him.
The Altoona papers claim that Manloyt
will play there next season, but the new
Lancaster nine have his name to con
tract and he has taken their advance
money.
II remains to DO seen whether there W il
be any inter state association after Wed
ncsday's meeting, as several of the bes
clubs which were expected to go in do mo-
want to do 50 now. Reading and Viii
mington will go into the Union Leagu,

The report OF the superintendent of the
public schools of the work done last year
shows an increase of $50 in the number of
schools in the state. A curious feature of
the report, that will doubtless attract the
attention of woman suffragists, is the
reported decrease Of 45l in the number o,
male teachers, aud increase of 637 in the
number Of female teachers. This seems to
Indicate that men are rapidly leaving the
profession for more lucrative pursuits aud
the depleted teaching ranks are being
largely filled with women. AS the mum.
Der of females who adopt teaching as a
profession is small compared with those
who accept it whilo awaiting matrimony.
1t Is doubtful whether the great increase
in the number of lady teachers will add
much to the efficiency of the public schoo
system.

New York, s. Judging from press
comments Cleveland's message is not a
little disappointing The World says:
There is nothing especially striking about
the message SO far as it indicates any
thing at all concerning its author. He

affairs OF state.
The Sun says: It's ideas are few, not
for the most part sound and on the side
Of official economy. 1t is commonplace.
The lsudsble, moral tone, Verging per
haps little toward cant, and does not on
the whole diminish the value of the
document.
The Star says: 1t is to be regretted that
he did not speak with more emphasis on
three or four matters of great public i'm.
portsnce, but Cleveland is constitution
ally cautious and conservative.
The Times: It is made up chiefly OF
. series of rather bold statements Of the
condition OF various departments o.
public service, 1t is singularly barren o.
suggestions and recommendations re-.
garding matters OF Hrst impoItaEcs sn6
such as are made are rather common,
place.
The Tribune: The message, considered
as 8 whole, is commonplace. Cleveland
is seen to be man Of ordinary ability
and without the firm grasp Of underlying
principles Of government which goes viii
statesmanship.
The Herald: The message amble
easily through and around various topic
OF interest in the state administration
and is extensively statistical and mildly
suggestive.
