that he is planning mischief. He is GER

him to return to Paris, even if it costs

BASE BALL REFLECTIONS.
by OUR BASE BALL SPECIAL"


Manager Kerr il will be again this sea-
son.
Some Of the hoys were ont praeticlng
last week and did well.
We hope there will be no changes Ia Of.
ficers from that of last season.
Scot. Thorne, our LIST baseman, is now
very sick. We hope he will soon be
about again.
Our friend, Manager Kerr, has large
number of challenges to look after as
soon as the weather bulletin permits.
AS it now looks, about the same old
team will be in the field again this season.
There will be few changes in positions,
perhaps.
Our team is not going to Florida, this
Spring, but are going to go for the scalps
of the Doylestown aud Pennington clabs,
as soou as possible.
"Horic" is doing good work for the
team. There is hardly person that he
approaches but what purchases ticket Of
him for chance on the gold watch.
Knowlan looks we'll after his trip and
is again at work. He is in good trim.
So look out for him, for he says the cover
of the ball viii have to be we'll stitched or
he viii knock it of every time.
The Doylestown team will hold a fair
after Lent, and we hope the proceeds
therefrom with net them a nice sum of
money. They deserve patronage. Our
people are glad to see them at any time.
Our old friend, DR.. Jewell, is around
working for the interest of the team. The
Doctor is also an active member OF the
gun club recently organized IN this city.
A very good man for both organizations.
Nelson Naylor, right fielder of the Doy-
lestown team, has been visiting his home
in this city, for the past few days. He
now tips the scales at 1856 pounds, but ex-
poets TO fast soon so as to lessen his
weight TO about 100.
Capt. Callan can hardly wait until the
weather is favorable, as he Is anxious to
get the boys in field forpractice. He says
he is glad TO hear that the robins and
black birds have been seen In this loyal
region. He thinks 1t is sure sign that the
season is near at hand.
James Galigan, OF last seasons Flem-
ington team, has signed with the New
York league, as pitcher. Jimmy, you
will have to do better than you did last
season II you want to be with the New
Workers. Mr.. Galligan pitched part Of
last season for the Easton league team.
Hurley, who pitched for our home team
last season, is going with the Philadelphia
league team, In April, for trial of two
weeks. He is good one and should
make it go. II he signs with the league,
the managers of our home team have their
eyes on fine young pitcher, who they
think will make first-class one, with
"Barney" to catch for him.
Take chance on the gold watch and
see smile light up on the face Of our
own "Horic"-so that Pennington girl
Gays; also smiles of Schenck, Thorne,
Knowlan and Trusty, who they say
smiles like James Nutre, and there is
Hurley and Uplander, who smile very
quietly when ahead, and also Capt. CAL
Ian, whose smile is laugh when his team
Is victorious.

cases, where roots, and teeth with deep
roots, were extracted and the operation
performed without any pain whatever to
the patient. DR.. Estebrooke is having a
large practice and many of our best citi-

satisfaction. He will remain until Satur-

longer. See card of Rev. Mr.. Grey, in

Philadelphia morning papers at Mason's
hardware store.
The Red Men will occupy D. s. Bodine's
Hall after April 1st. 1t will make them
desirable hall when the work Is completed
on the interior OF the building.
Stockton is to have canning establish
meut. Parties from Philadelphia have
been looking for location and have about
made arrangements to occupy the building
formerly used as spoke factory.
Some Of the boys in Stockton have get
into trouble. They have for some time
past been trying to see who could do the
most mischief by throwing stones and
breaking windows out Of buildings, &c.
The last act, few days ago, was the de-
molishiug OF one OF the sheds OF the spoke
factory belonging TO the Pennington Ma
tional Bank. Their names have been re-
ported to the authorities to await the
grand jury, after which their chances are
good TO take board with Sheriff Cox.

An immense horned owl, measuring
four feet from tip to tip of wings, and
weighing five pounds, was shot by Ander-
son ]. Closson, of Pennington, on the
mountain back of Stanton, last Thursday.
Its plumage is extremely leavy, bright
and pretty, and its great talons look as If
the bird might have easily carried off
lamb with them. The American species
of the horned owl is classified by orni.
biologists as Strir Virginiana, aud is a
bird rarely found in these parts. This fine
specimen will be mounted, and added to

A MOTHERS LOVE.
By JOHN c. BALL.


mothers love is heavenly gift.
So treasure 1t while you may;
For perhaps eer long the soul will shin,
From out its home OF clay
To the land Of peace, whore Angels lift
And bear earths loads away.
She is not so fair as in years gone by,
Her figure not near so straight;
Her hair Is gray where the brown used 10 lie,
And broken and feeble her gait.
Her sight Is dim and ow ON her cheek
The wrinkles and burrows appear.
Her tongue will stick when she tries to speak,
And it's hard to make her hear.
But In spite of the signs that she's growing old
Her love the same remains;
1t will always be young, yea never grow DID,
While her soul in Its earth-shell reigns-
So treasure this love-whiie mother Is here,
For soon will she pass away;
Then make 1t your duty to tighten and cheer
Her hours ofage and decay.

Until the last week or two it was pref
ty generally agreed that the Legislature
would adjourn about the middle of March.
That expectation is rapidly becoming an
impossibiity. The Senate Investigating
Committee can not have report ready in
much less than two weeks, and it may
give rise to events calculated TO occupy
another week or two. There Is the ballot
reform problem, which won't be 30 readily
disposed of as some of the more sangune
members expected. The Republicans are
not at all pleased with Senator Werts'
bill, though they concede that it has been
carefully and skillfully drawn. They
don't like the registration feature of it,
nor the partisan election board clause, nor
the proposition for the distribution of off,
cial ballots before election day, aud may
fight hard against them.
