PennsyIvania Hemloek Almost Gone.

letter from Brockwayville in the CEN
ter of the lumber section of Northwestern
Pennsylvania, TO the PIttsburg Times saws:
The lumber market few years ago was
| exclusively pine market. Hemlock was
looked upon with contempt. A raftsman
was almost ashamed to run down the
river on hemlock raft. and the hemlock
tree had no value in the eye of a woods
man except for the cinnamon" that could
be husked from it and be sold for tanbark.
Then the pine was exhaused and hemlock
had TO be used. At first it was resorted To
with apologies, but later on hemlock sue
ceeded pine. Now hemlock is growing
scarce and the man who has a good tract
of heIulock is 4 king At the meeting of
the Hemock Producers Association AT
Ridgway 4 few days ago. the secretary an
nounced his conviction that the limit OF
hemlock production had been reached.
and that hencetorth the yearly cut would
be less and less The present output of
hemlock lumber in Western Pennsvlvania
and New York is estimated at about l DO .
001,e0 feet board measure. The stock on
hand at mill yards the hrst of September
was nearly coo 600, 900 feet, or half a wears
cut.
This tremendous cutting away of hem
lock timber represents the clearing OF at
least 200 square miles of hemlock forest
each year. A few years ago jefferson.
Forest, Elk, Cameron, Mexican, Warren
and Potter counties were almost painless
forests Now il is difticnIt 10 locate a
wilderness in any of these counties. and
there are very few large tracts outside OF
Potter and Forest that are not sadly mutt
lated by the AZ Of the woodsmau
After mentioning in detail the largest
remaining tracts, the letter concludes:
a few other tolerably large tracts re-
main. bat they are small compared with
the annual production. The inference,
therefore, is that the supply Of hemlock is
rapidly dwindiing."

Gossip About Men who Grace the Dis
mond.


TACOMA, Dec. Especial. George AM
mon, who played first base for the Dodges
during the past season, has gone to his
home IN Wasco, Tex. He has signed with
the Belllngham bay team for next season.
Jackson, the third baseman of the Olym-
plans, will spend the winter at his home
IN Portland, returning to Olympia next
season.
Left Fielder Gibson, of Olympia, will not
be member of that club next season. He
has left for Chicago to engage in business.
Olympia will probably lose the services
OF Pitcher Stevens next season. 1t is said
that Stevens had some trouble in Olympia
and left IN hurry for California.
In all probability George Rabbit, the
popular fielder of the Dodges of the past
season. will play in the Central California
League next season.
The Dodges may change their name next
season.
Charles Waskney will continue to man
age the Olympians next season. A better
selection could not have been made.

shown that apart from managers. who
work for their club the year round, the
best plan for ball players to spend the
winter Is to go to work, or at least to do
something that will keep them out of
mischief and give them enough exercise
TO keep in condition. Some men who are
inclined to corpulency have to train off
twenty or thirty pounds of flesh in the
spring and their work is naturally i'm
paired before they get into the best play
ing form. Even if they have no extra
aVoirdupols, few men can train ali winter
on beer and poker and be in good
physical condition. The youngsters may
not feel 1t much for q season or two, but
1t Is bound sooner or later, if kept up, to
reiegate them to places alongside of Billy
Taylor. Lew Dickerson, Fred Lewis and
other shining examples of the evil results
eff bad habits.

Skill of tho Hunter Displayed on Every

The first day of December, or the day on
which, according to the game laws of the
state of Washington, it is allowable to ex-
pose feathered and big game for sale, was
marked by sudden Influx of the delica-
cies up to that time supposed to be I'M
known TO purchasers. Deer appeared in
front of all the principal markets and res
taurants as if by magic. Long strings of
mallard, teal and canvas-back ducks could
be seen in every market. Numbers of
grouse. pheasants and partridges indicated
that the neichborhood of Seattle is rich
in game. WILDLY island seems to be the
favorite spot for those who prefer deer
hunting, yet Bitter lake Is considered
good. Captain A. K. Lake, who is auth
GRITTY on matters connected with Lake
Washington, states that the lake is very
high ana consequently ducks, geese and
swans have been driven up into the BAYS
along the shore.

Traeger's Trial Progressing With Door
Closed.

Traeger's Trial Progressing With Doors
Closed.
The trial of Henry Traeger, toe brewer,
who is charged with an assault upon Anna
Mueller, half sister of Alfred Thurman,
was resumed by Judge Hebbard yesterday
and will probably so to the jury to-day.
The testimony was of such character that
the case was heard with closed doors.
On the stand yesterday Traeger admitted
that he had taken certain liberties with
the girl, but denied that he had made any
attack upon her honor. He said that he
was afterward very much surprised when
Mr.. Thurman under threats compelled him
TO marry her. The defense also introduced
several witnesses who testified to the pre-
yious good character of the accused.
While on the stand the accused related
that he had taken the woman to an oyster
house, but that she had refused to eat or
drink anything He denied that any
thing occurred = save, perhaps, little
love-maklng. After leaving the restaurant
she acted as If she was crazy, and started
off on dead run. He chased her for fifteen
blocks, and finally brought her home to her
room. He told how he had informed Fuhr-
man OF the affair, and how the latter had
drawn a pistol, claiming that he had
wronged the girl and must marry her,
Thurman threatening that if he did not do
so he would kill him.
The marriage took place on the following
day, and after the same 1raeger sought a
lawyer, who advised him TO have the mar
rage nullfied. and on taking this step he
was arrested at the instance of Thurman
and charged with felony.
Under cross-examination the defendant
was questioned at great length upon the
condition of the moon on the night of the
alleged assault. Traeger contended it was
bright moonlight at 10 O'clock. while coun-
sci claimed that the calendar show that
the moon went down at 7:45 O'Clock Stress
was laid on this point by counsel in order
to shake the credibility Of tbs witness.

PATRIOTISM A-PLENY.

The Van Buren, Street Villagers Have
Glorious Times.
One of the most interesting localities in
Brooklyn is the single block of residences in
Van Buren, street. between Throop and Sum-
ner avenues. 1t is in the fashionable quarter
called ''the HILL" and is frequently called
'the Village" 1t is the enthusiastic patriot
ism and local pride in the town that gives it
its interest for thorough-going Brooklynites.
That same intense Americanism that makes
the old Ninth Ward famous spot in this
town inspires the residents OF Van Buren,
street 1t gives to the block certain dis
tinction that makes it peculiar and apart
from the rest of the thoroughfare. The
block is literally like little village by itself.
The residents are all we'll to do, and they
unite tremendously in getting up celebra-
tons and Publications at every opportunity.
Every holiday sees the houses gayly decked
with bunting. The children, sharing the
spirit OF their parents, get up patriotic
parades as their share of the celebration,
They have flies and drums, and march about
like little soldiers.
Independence day, however showed the
patriotism OF the villagers at the best A
thousand citizens from other parts of the
town came around to enjoy the demonstra-
ton. The villagers raised a big purse to
decorate the thoroughfare fttingly. Tho
street was strung with lanterns along its en-
tire length on both sides of the walk, and
the dwellings were festo0ned with bunu-

A PSEUDO PLUMBER.
His Clever Ruse for Stealing
From Many Residences.

Joseph Malon, an ex-convict, is ingeni-
GUS in his thieying devices if anything. Re-
Gently lie was locked up for robbery and
now a charge of burglary has been recorded
against him.
One of Mallon's devices for stealing was
to visit private residences provided with
plumbing tools. He would inform the oecu-
pants of the house that he had been sent by
the agent to inspect the water and gas
pipes. After entering the bathroom he
would hammer on the pipes SO loudly and
create such racket that the inmates would
leave the house in sheer desperation. In
this manner he succeeded in pilfering at no
less than twenty houses during the last
three months. His last exploit was at the
residence of Mr.. Vincent, 1888 Howard
street. where he carried out his regular
tactics. Mrs. Vincent fed from her nome
and when she returned the pseudo plumber
had flown. With him had gone clothing
and four valuable raZors.
Mallon served ten-year term in San
Quentin for a burglary committed in this
city twelve years ago.

Remedy for snake-Bite.

An Indian was recently bitten by a rattle
snake near Yuma. There is nothing so
very unusual about that but all California
is talking about it because the man got well
when he was expected to die. He is said
to have cured himself by applying to the
wound poultice made of the common mock
orange that trails everywhere in this coun-
try, and by drinking decoction made from
the same plant. The only remedy hereto
fore known for rattlesnake bite is whisky
and cauterization, but as neither is generally
available in emergencies there have been
numerous deaths from bites. If "golon-
drina " or mock orange is sure cure it
ought to be made known. Here is a chance
for physicians To experiment in the interest
of humanity.-San Diego Union.

The Villagers hired Pyrotechnist Pain to

made joy for the small boys for three long
