Firemen Pic-Nic.

The picnic held under the auspices of
the Citizens Hose Co., of Freeland, at
the park last Friday was a grand success
numerically, socially and financially.
AS per announcement in last weeks
TRIBUNE, the members of the Company
met at the hose house Friday morning
and proceeded with one hose carriage
and tested all the fire plugs in the bor-
ough, as well as the three located in the
township, and found them all in good
condition.
At six O'Clock parade of the members
took place, headed by Sachs Cornet
Band. After parading all the streets
they returned to the picnic ground
at the park, when dancing commenced,
the Depierro's Orchestra furnishing the
music. Atseven clock the st. Patrick's 8
Cornet Band arrived, and later the
P. o. S. of A. Band. of Freeland, each
of these organizations bringing large
numbers, until at one time it was estim-
ated that nearly one thousand people
were on the ground. The best of order
prevailed, and at the close all retired
we'll pleased with the first home picnic
of the Citizens Hose Co.
At the meeting of the committee in
charge of the arrangements, held in their
meeting room Saturday evening to audit
the accounts, the report showed that
there was placed to the credit of the

twenty three dollars.

Too Much Mother-in-L Law.

Tuesday evening John Baely, Hun
garian, living on the lower end of Main
street, was brought before T. A. Buckley,
by warrant issued at the instance of
his wife, Annie Baely, charging him
with beating her and failing to properly
support her On the trial it was proven
that the mother-in-law and the wife paid
for the furniture and other effects in the
house-the mother-in-law having guam
tity of money in her own right-and
that the biggest share of the supplies
for their support were paid for by her,
and now when the money is all gone he
has no more use for her and wants his
wife and her mother to 60 away, Fail
ing to comply with his wishes he resorted
to threats and violence as stated above.
The amount meted out by this fiend to
his wife for the support of three persons
never exceeded $l3 month, as shown
by their store book. And yet this man
was boarding up money, and hiding it in
different places around the house and
stable and frequently taking it with him
to the mines.
A compromise was effected, by which
the wife received fifty dollars, and will,
with her mother, shortly sail for her
native country.

THE KIcKERs DEFEATED BY THE TIGERS

THE KICKERs DEFEATED BY THE TIGERS.
The Kickers, of Jeddo, came to Free
land on Sunday afternoon to test their
knowledge and skill in base ball with
the Tigers and were vanquished by a
score of IA to 2. The Kickers were
anxious to redeem the defeat they met at
the hands of the Tigers recently, and
placed the strongest team they could pro-
cure against them, even players of the
Freeland Club, viz, S. Welch, E. Nc
Geehan and d. Gillespie. Umpire Nc
Garvey called the game promptly at 2.30
p. m. with the Tigers at the bat, in
which inning they scored seven runs on
account of the wild pitching of "Pie"
Brislin. The latter retired in the half
of the first inning and was substituted
by Welch. The Kickers scored their
first and last runs in the seventh inning.
With two men on base Mcclellan knock
ed fly out between center and left field,
which was sought by Mcclellan and
Gallagher, who, however, collided just
as the former was reaching for the ball,
and allowed two runs to score.
The score by innings as follows:
Tigers. .........7 0 l 4 0 o O 2 OLA
Kickers ..........O 600 0 2 0 o. 2
The Tigers Base Ball Club would like
to launch their boat in the base ball sea
with the Drifton Club in the near future.
Should they agree to give them a
game it would be well if they could
name date as soon as possible, as the
Tigers are anxious to cope with them.
The Junior Gimlers, of Highland
went to White Haven on Saturday last
and defeated the First club of that place,
in game of six innings, by score OF
13 to8.
The Tigers will play game of base
ball with the Terrors, of Eckley, Sun.

What would Undoubtedly have proven
fatal and deliberate tragedy was hap
PLY prevented ly the engineer of D. &
III. train at Smithville, near Wilkes-Barre
on Saturday last. At that place there
lives four Pollnders-Albert Koska,
John Koska, llbert Straw and John
Smoga-who wre recently robbed of a
trunk that confined small amount of
money and several articles of clothing.
No trace of the trunk was had until Sat-
urday, when the wife of Thomas Tobin,
a neighbor of the Polanders, went to
procure some wood which was stored
under the latttr's house. In so doing
she discovered he trunk and immediate
ly informed her husband and the Po-
llanders of her find. The latter, however,
became angry,,ver the matter and began
to beat Tobin, it the same time charging
him with the theft. Their wrath became
so violent that il the end they carried him
off and tied hin to the railroad track
where, we SUPPOSE, they thought he
would die. Blu he was released by the
engineer of the train. The perpetrators
were arrested f'r their fendish act.

Soap Bubbles.

All boys and girls like to make soap
bubbles, but few know how to make
those that will last for an hour if left
undisturbed. To make them, take
palm-oil soap and shave finely, then
put the shavings in large bottle of
distilled water, and shake until dis
solved. Filter this through a piece Of
gray tiltering paper, fold the paper in
crimps so that it will fit into funnel.
When the solution is filtered add about
one-third as much glycerine as you
have solution. Always shake well be-
fore using. These bubbles must be
blown through a rubber tube fitted on
the tube of small glass funnel with a
rim two inches in diameter. To have
the bubbles last long time blow them
into iron rings laid on a piece of carpet
and wet with the solution.- Good
Housekeeping.

Women's Work.

The San Francisco Call suggests a
society for tightening the burdens OF
women who have houses to keep in
order, and says:
Does the shoemaker try to tighten
the woman's work by sewing the but
tons on honestly or clipping" the foot
wear with honest leatherP Does the
tailor who makes the pants with his
boasted benevolence of 'double knees"
ever put them ON the right place or
large enoughp Does the carpenter ever
put the nails and hooks where medi-
um-sized woman, let alone child, can
reach themp
Is there ever but the fewest possible
shelves that woman can reach with.
out standing on chair at the risk OF
breaking her backp
1t is very little thing to have no
waterback to stove-so a man thinks,
but to wife-of-all-work it is-well,
there is no word strong enough to ex-
press the trouble it causes. A sink or
level, with cold water, is not an easy
thing to keep clean. Why not make a
little declinep Also bring the zinc over
the edges somewhat. The continual
settling of grease in the fine cracks on
interstices is very trying to a delicate
stomached woman.
The bureau-drawers that never open
or shut without a trial of temper, why
cannot they be made to run smoothlyp
1t should be declared punishable
otfense to make window that can not
be brought in to clean.
Men invented all these awkward and
inconvenient things, and men made
them, and they are responsible for the
broken-down, haggard-looking wome n
we see on the streets, or rather in the
houses.

What He Had In His Box.

People fetch some mighty clear ar.
ticles aboard of car now and then, .
said the conductor of Wabash avenue
train last night on his home trip.
They seem to think a street-car is a
combined junk-shop or freight-house
on wheels or general delivery wagon.
One evening at Sixteenth street a fell
low rolled a barrel of apples out to the
track. The car was full of passengers
and the platform hadn't standing-room
for walking-stick, and yet he wanted
to lick me because | wouldn't let him
put his barrel into the car.
But the queerest thing l ever saw
in the street-car business happened in
my Car yesterday afternoon. At State
and Madison streets middle-aged
man with a long box under his arm got
on the car. He took the rear platform
and stood the box on end next to the
iron gate. He was stupid-looking
foreigner, and took him to be car
penter moving his tool-box to another
job. At Twenty-fifth street, as there
was no one else on the platform, got
to talking to the man and asked him
what he had in the box.
"Oh, that's my son. he said, in an
easy sort of way.
WHAT l gasped, thinking the man
was joking.
Its my youngest son. He died a
couple of days ago and took him out
to the graveyard this morning, but the
man at the gate said l must have a
pass for the boy, and I'm taking him
back home until | can get one
He was telling the truth. l sup
pose he had gone to the cemetery with
out burial permit, and there he was
going home again, with corpse stand
ing on end aboard of a street-car. It's
the first time l ever acted as conductor
on hearse and was glad when he
got off at Thirty-ninth street with his
box. ~ Chicago Mail.
