1t Threatens to Break Up Large Seminary
in Eastern Pennsylvania.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, May 9s.-wyoming Semi
nary, in the village of Kingston, three miles
from here, is in a state of great excitement.
The trouble grew out of an attempt of the
culinary department to ppmper the pro
fessors with strawberry shdftcake. The boys
and girls bore with this for about one week;
but Yesterday, tiring of waiting for the tooth
some delicacy, they contracted with pastry
cook in the village to supply strawberry
shortcake for the scholars, the expense be-
ing met by an assessment on each class. Last
evening at supper II monster strawberry
shortcakes were borne into the dining hall,
and were received with cheers from the as
sembled students. The cakes were divided,
especial care being taken that none but the
students participated in the feast, and the
faculty were studiously avoided.
The professors retiredto their rooms be-
fore the close of the meal. This morning at
chanel the principal announced that Paul
Brown. of Chicago and James Brooks, of
Scranton, the ringleaders in the affair, were
expelled from the school. Brown and Brooks
left the building at once, followed by 70 male
students, who are determined to proceed to
their homes unless DR.. Sprague reconsiders
his decision. No classes were held to-day,
and although strenuous efforts are being
made to amicably settle the matter, many of
the students have packed their belongings
in readiness to leave by the midnight train.

CROWDED CARS GOING EAST.
Complaints Abork the Lack of Berths on
the Pennsylvania Road.


the Pennsylvania Road.
The trains going East last evening were
badly crowded. Those who applied yester-
day morning for berths couldn't get them,
and number of people we're compelled to
ride in common coaches.
1t is not pleasant to sit up all night, and
the manner in which some of them COM
planned about the Pullman monopoly for its
lack of accommodations would have made
the ears of the officials of the concern
tingle if they could have heard the en-
phatic remarks. Even the poor ticket SELL
ers came in for blessing, and the truth is
that frequently these people are responsible
for much of the dissatisfaction. A drummer
at the Duquesne was growing yesterday
because they refused to reserve a berth for
him. Shortly after he left the ticket window
he met another commercial man who was
having three held for him. 1t made the
first drummer very angry to think that he
had been Disseminated against.
The hotel clerk remarked that he knew of
one instance where lower berth had been
sold to man, and he was persuaded to give
it up on the ground that mistake had
been made. The ticket was then quietly
passed to another passenger who had pull.
1t is thus that the unsuspecting fool is
done I'M. et

THE COUNTY LEAGUE.
Games to BE Played To-day by the Local
AmateuI-zJines.

The lovers of baseball in this vicinity will
have an opportunity to witness two inter-
esting games to-day if they take the Lari-
mer and Lincoln avenue cars of the Du-
Quesne Traction line and wend their way to
the East End Gymnastic Park. Some of the
best amateur and semi-professional talent of
the two cities will be engaged i'll these two
games and their results will be watched
with interest by all the County League fol-
lowers. For the past four years the old East
End Athletics have occupied pablic atten-
tion and drew all the baseball cranl1s to
their park, as the local League has always
been scheduled East every year on Decora-
tion Day, but the old team is mon est, /" and
some of their old players have Joined the
ranks Of the new, notably among whom are
VIII Gumbert, the Barr brothers and the
Addy brothers. It is the opinion of some good
judges that the East End boys have n better
team than they ever had, not excepting the
palmy days when they had Ad. Gumbert and
John Tencr as pitchers, for although they
had star players they never played regularly
together. As q result there was no team
work.
President Mayer, of the Bridgeville team
has gathered an excellent nine together and
promises to make Il hot argument for the
East End team. He has two phenomenal
pitchers in Neves and Patterson, both of
whom have excellent local regulations. The

The local team went East, yesterday and
should have arrived in Brooklyn last evening.
President O'Neil insisted that the players
get into Brooklyn in time to get nights
rest. Regarding the prospects of the team
Manager Hanlon and President O'Neil had
not very much to say. OF course the tenn
porary loss of Bierbauer is a very heavy
one and it will probably cause few de-
feats Manager Hanlon, referring to the
matter, said: 'I will keep Berger at
second until find out what he can do. If
he can manage the position in anything
like a reasonable way, all right, and if he
cannot 1 will try another man there. 1
think Bierbauer will not be able to play
until the team returns home. Of course it
is heavy blow for us but we will just have
to stand it.
President O'Neil was, as usual, full of
confidence. He said: "Just keep your eye
on Berger. Hell come out all right. Our
team will win 10 of the 16 games, and 1
expect that well start off by winning two at
Brooklyn tomorrow. don't know who
the pitchers will be. They may be Calvin
and Stratton or Baldwin and Calvin. But
all our pitchers are in good form, and we
will win plenty of games 1 expect that
our trip will be good one financially"

start earlier than usual and the first race
