BASE BALL.

There was a surfeit of base ball
material in town on Sunday. Shortly after
the TRIBUNE went to press last week a
telegram was received from the Cor
hams, stating that they could not come.
This created a CONSERVATION in the Free
land Association, as arrangements had
been made on large scale for the game
and 1t would not pay to disappoint the
public. Word was Immediately sent to
the Cuban Giants, asking if they could
play here on Sunday. Before the
answer arrived a dispatch came from
Scranton requesting a game on the 5th.
10 this a reply was sent, giving the
terms and demanding an Immediate
answer if they were accepted. Nothing
further was heard from Scranton that
day and in the meantime message was
received from the Cuban Giants, notify
ing Manager Hanlon that they were
coming. They reached here Saturday
afternoon from Reading, where they
had played that morning. The next
day, however, Scranton put in its
appearance, but owing to its negli-
gence in not answering Freeland's tele-
gram they could not be accommodated
with game. The home management,
though they did not have the pleasure
of defeating the Electric City boys, did
the square thing by them in the matter
of expenses and Scranton returned salts
fed.
The large audience at the park on Sun
day witnessed one of the best-played
games seen here for some time, 1t
was both interesting and exciting from
start to finish, and though Freeland went
down it was not due to inferior work on
their part. Luck was dead against them.
They did better fielding by far than the
Giants, but failed at the bat when hits
were required. The ball was kept mov-
ing pretty lively, yet it was difficult to
drive it to vacant spot, the sharp field
ing making safe hitting almost impos-
sible. With two Cubans ON base in the
fifth a hot roller went out to Boyle in left
field, but it bounded out of reach just as
the player attempted to capture it and
both runners scored. The visitors SEEM
ed to have a peculiar liking to Boyle's
territory, and its occupant was kept busy
gathering in the flies. Six of them went
out there and all but one were taken care
of. This muff was costly, leaying in two
more runs, yet under the circumstances
the player was excused, as he had just
pulled down two high hits in Mike
Griffin style, and had scarcely time
to recover himself when the sphere was
sent out by Chamberlain to interview
him again. Mcclellan, Terrell and
McGarvey made several pretty stops of
contrary balls. The Cubans are good
coachers and with Brady's. acrobatic
capers near first base the large crowd
was given sufficient amusement.

Next Sunday the patrons of the game
will be given another good exhibition.
Wilkes-Barre is the attraction, and as the
home club has not forgotten the severe
trouncing given it by this team in the
early part of the season frst-class
contest may be expected. Freeland is
confident of redeeming its reputa-
tion and Wilkes-Barre will endeavor to
gain another victory. Usual admission
and game called at 3 P. M.
Freeland will go to Lehghton on Sat-
urday and measure strength for the first
time this season with the club of that
place. Freeland's trip to Scranton and
Wllkes-Barre has been postponed until
August, owing to the Scranton Park be-
ing occupied during the next five weeks.
The Leonard Club, the finest amateur
team in Brooklyn, is booked to appear
here on the Goth inst.
The Mt. Pleasant Club came to town
Saturday afternoon and the Tigers PLAYED
with them five innings. Score, to 9, in
favor of the home club.
If terms can be agreed upon it is likely
that Third Baseman McGarvey will be
given a trial by the Athletics of Phila-
delphia.
One of the most enthusiastic admirers
of good game is Rev. f. P. McNally,
who never misses a favorable oppor-
tunity to attend the park. The reverend
gentleman views the play from a scientific
standpoint, backed by practical ex-
perience, having graced the amateur
diamonds of Philadelphia in many
game.
Several games were played on the

the scores of which are:

NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

HORSES relish variety Of feed dur
ing the winter.
SUPPLY plenty of bedding in order to
keep the horses clean.
WARN the Bride bits before putting
them in the horses mouths.
KEEP the managers, racks and feeding
boxes clean during the winter.
Too MUCH feed is as bad for the health
and thrift of horses as too little.
HORSES should be turned out into the
lots for exercise every pleasant day.
KEEPING the horses heels and legs
clean in winter is the best preventive
for scratches.
A RATION of one-third each of corn,
oats and barley ground together makes
n good winter ration.
WHEN it can be'done it is better to
water horse halt an hour before feed
ing rather than after.
BRooD-MAREs can do enough work to
pay for their keep, and by mating to a
good sire will bring good colts, which
will be clear profit. 1t will require
good management to take a team Of
geldings and keep them on the farm
until they are worn out, and make them
pay a good profit on their value A
horse is not matured enough to market
to advantage. until it is five years old
but If broken in good season it can be
made to do considerable work before
this time, fully enough to pay for its
keep. st Louis Republic.

1T WAS HIS HORSE.

How Nc southern Pianter Regaincd Pos
session Of stolen Animal.
Say, friend, you're on my horse
said one gentleman to another. as he
refined his horse before the door. "Your
horse? Oh, no; why, bought this
horse two years ago" "You did?" an.
swered the other "Well, l lost my
-horse-it was stolen--iust two years
ago."
This conversation took place under
the far-spreading oaks Of an old time
plantation home. A planter was sur
prised to see his horse return home
after two years, and ridden by gentle-
man who evidently had bought tho
horse in good faith.
After some conversation the old
owner OF the horse, with much earnest
ness, said: well, sir, If you will dis
mount unsaddle the horse, and, II he
don't go to tho fence, take the bars
down, walk to the well, and, II he don't
find water in the bucket let it down the
we'll and then walk off to his own
stable, l will give up the horse is not
mine.o
'.At your word; the horse is yours If
he does all that" cried the visitor, and,
leaping from thezhorse. unsaddled 1t
What was his astonishment when the
horse went straight to the fence, let
down the bars, crossed over, went to
the we'll. and. finding no water, let the
bucket down, and then, as though he
had left home but yesterday, walked to
the old stable The animal remem-
bered the trick and the owner rccov-

SYSTEM IN HoUsE-woRk.
Mcthodtcal Management Essential to Per-
feet Home Life.

Mcthodical Management Essential to Per-
feet Home Life.
There is no place where methodical
management is SO essential as in the
kingdom OF woman, the household The
variable as the shade by the
light quivering aspen made"-may DO
a very beautiful subject for the poets
fancy, but she is very uncomfortable
home-maker. The management of the
many details OF home life requires per-
feet system. The whimsical mother is
indeed pitiful object, and the whim-
steal wife has many times brought her
husband to bankrupts fate. The
ideals that any community sets up for
itself have great deal of influence on
the everyday life of individuals. So
long as q woman, suneertain, coy and
hard to please" is looked upon as an
ideal rather than the woman of Script
ure who 1ooketh we'll to the ways OF her
household" so long will there be errat-
ic, childish housekeepers Of the type of
Dora Copperfield rather than the type
of Agnes The beauty of system and
the m sery of want of system should
be taught to girls early. They should
be given q certain amount of spending
money as soon as they are old enough,
and they should be compelled to provide
certain necessities from 1t. In this way
they will learn while at home under
their mothar's eye the use of money
1t is strange what an unsentimental
creature frivolous woman becomes
when she attempts to take strangers as
h<>o ii - 70
considered purely business woman,
and is judged accordingly. She is fail
ure. She was more disastrous failure as
mother, and as AFFECT failure as
housekeeper to her family, only loving
hearts concealed her blunders and suf-
fered in silence. 1t may be, finally,
that some one whom she is dependent
upon, wearied OF beari ng a double bur-
den Of life, has succumbed to tempta-
ton or overwork and she is prematurely
loft to beg or work her way through the
world. These are the women who are
created by the ideal set up by the world,
but which the world is the first to
trample under its feet when they come
in its way. They are beautiful pictures
while they are young and fair, but have
become only 'shiftless women" when
they are in middle age, in whom no one
takes any interest and whom those who
should honor and respect them only en-.
dure at best with patience. How diff
ferent is the case with the woman OF
Scripture, who ''openeth her mouth
with wisdom" whose well-ordered
household has no fear of snow or any OF
the oh ling blasts of life, within the
circle Of whose love her children feel
safe, and who is ever wise counselor
and friend, as we'll as good mother.
1t is upon the education of the girls Of
our land that we must depend for har-
mony in the homes to come They must
be better managers, better housewives
than they have been. The number OF
divorces in this country is disgrace to
its women and men, They point to
frivolity in the home life, and too often.
though not always. may be traced to
want Of management in the household.
