IL became necessary to explain its moaning.
"Shecny," one of the counsel said, came from

I'VE are beginning base ball making quite
late this year." said the gentleman in charge
"and orders are pouring in thick and fast"
"Fow many base balls are manufactured

"I.ast year over 100000 base balls were
disposed of throughout the United States, and
you may take my word for it that at least
100000 will be knocked into the great no
where during the coming season."
"What is the cost OF base ball ?"
"The cost depends solely upon the quality
and style. They may cost from 10 cents
to 49,"
"Is thero any particular art in making a
base ball2'
"More than can be imagined, especially for
professional clubs. No one man ever makes
ball complete. Two dozen good makers will
turn out between them fifty dozen balls per
day, and they must work steadily to do it.
One man does what is known as the winding
and then it is passed over to another and an
other until it is finished"
"What gives the ball its rebounding
power?'
"A piece of Vara gum that is placed in the
center of it. Good yarn, the same as is used
in making stockings is twisted over the ball
of gum, after which, with the addition OF
some white yarn, tho bail is coated with
rubber cement"

There was big row at the colored graded
school yesterday when Bette Mcdaniel ap-
,peared among the startled scholars, with
blood in her eyes, and sailed into Prof. Ratley
with the intention of reducing him to spot
of grease. 1t came about In this way: Bette
had an unruly son going to school, and yes
terday morning the boy had q fight in the
school house yard with another young ward
of the nation. They were parted and ordered
to go into the house. Bettie's son refused to
obey, and after scuffling with him while
Prof. Ratley got firm hold around the boys
waist and carried him into the house, In
the meantime, some of the scholors ran to
Bettie's house and told about tho trouble.
when she jerked up her bonnet and sought
the professor She got into the school house
and began going through the rooms until she
came to the one Prof. Ratley was in, when
she unlimbered her tongue, The unoffend-
ing teacher tried to explain the matter in
tho hope of pacifying her, but her wrath
only waxed warmer aud when the professor
tried to show her to the door, she gave him
a hug that almost broke his ribs, and a very
lively scrmmage ensued. Bette, with a
womans instinct, brought her teeth into play
and sinking them into the professors hand
held on like u 'possom to 'simmon treo in o
gale. The professor was engaged in tho vain
glorious attempt to choke her hold loose,
when another teacher came to his rescue
and the row was stopped. The parties will
be before the mayor this morning.

SIX CHILDREN PoIsoNED.-The little viii
lage OF Vallonia, on French Creek, near
Meadville, Pa, is greatly exercised over the
accidental poisoning of six children. Satur-
day afternoon Geo. Custy aged ten, with FIVE
of his playmates, two girls and three boys,
went to the woods to search for a sugar tree.
1t being holiday the chldren's parents did
not feel alarmed about them until toward
night. On search being made they were
found some distance from Fallonia, appa-
renty deathly sick, and one or two who
were able to speak pointed out large tree
which they said they had tapped with their
pocket knives for sugar water. The little
sufferers were taken home at once and med
ical aid summoned. George Custy and liz
zie Pinkhouse died during the evening, and
Gerry McGlue is seriously i'll. The others
are believed to be out of danger. In the
excitement incident on the finding of the
children no particular notice was taken Of
the tree, the species of which has not been
ascertained.
