The People Sort the Mail.

A curious state of affairs prevails in
Nanticoke, Pa, a mining town of II, 900
inhabitants. Two-thirds of the popula-
ton are foreigners, mostly Huns, Poles
and Italians. Three months ago the
free mail delivery system was inaugu-
rated in the town. 1t has proven a fail
ure. A great deal of foreign mail mat
ter is received at the postoffice daily, but
no streets or numbers are given. The
letter carriers simply take bag of mail
and march through the town blowing a
whistle.
The people turn out and the carrier
allows them to examine the letters. In
this way he delivers to owners. The
people are honest enough, and will not
take a letter that does not belong to
them. The postoffice authorities at Wash
ington, however, do not like the mode
of delivery, and it is likely that the free
delivery system will be discontinued

College Girls In BIG v,..u,.

When young college girls deliberately
renounce the comforts of their position
and seek to help their unfortunate sis
ters by founding home in their midst,
their motives cannot reasonably be ques-
toned by those whom they seek to bene-
fit. In New York, Boston and other
large cities settlements have already
been established, and every day we read
Of similar undertakings in various parts
Of the country. In New York the same
students do not necessarily remain
through the year, but receive reinforce
ments from time to time of their sisters
at Vassar, Smith or Wellesley who share
the burdens which they assume with
such self denying spirit. Helen Marshall

Not the Grin.

There is family in this city which
lives in constant awe of the grip, and
this fear is particularly centered on the
small boy of the house, albeit he is ro
bust specimen of his age.
The other day the small boy sneezed.
This was enough to alarm the entire
household. He continued sneezing, and
his mother suggested sending for the
doctor, as she was sure he was going to
be ill.
''Do you feel sick?'' she asked tenderly.
"Do you think you are getting the grip?''
"Grip nothing" calculated the small
boy between paroxysmal sneezes. 81

His first engagement was with Fort
Worth. In 1889, Houston, of the Texas
league, secured Rogers. His work be-
hind the bat was so good that he at.
tracted the attention of several of the
major league clubs. Toledo, of the In
ternational league secured Rogers, pay
ing the Texas club good round sum for
his release. Last season Rogers was
with Lincoln, of the Western league,
and did excellent work behind the bat.
Rogers is very fair hitter for catcher.
He expects to play the game of his life
this year and if he does, he should be
the speediest catcher in the California
league.

LA BLANCHE TRAINING HARD.
The Conqueror of Dempsey Will Take
No Chances.


A. Posey returned yesterday from a
visit to La Blanche's training quarters
at Newhall. He states that La Blanche
is in fine fix for his fight with Childs on
Thursday evening. He will enter the
ring at about ITO pounds. La Blanche
says that he is in much better condition
than when he fought Greggains, and that
he will have no excuse to offer if he is
licked. He walks out five miles every
morning then runs back. In the after
noon he punches the bag for an hour
and a half. A large delegation will
come in from the valley to see fight.
La Blanche says that Newhall is the
finest place for training that he ever
struck.
The fight will take place at the quar-
ters of the Crib club, az the Pastime
and Crib clubs have joined forces. At a
meeting yesterday it was decided to
give up the quarters in the Downey
block, as the other place could accom-
modate more people. A double ring
will be erected and other improvements
made.

New oRK, March 2l.-Charley Nit

made some abusive remark that induced
Corbett to intimate that Mitchell was
not behaving as a gentle

of fighting in barroom. He would
sign articles and fight in the ring.
After much wind policeman cleared
everybody out.
Before the Corbett row Mitchell and
Slavin had scrap over game of pool

Mitchell of cheating, and'a vast amount

Needlework as an Accomplishm ment.

Before the Trojan war the women of
Sidon were famous for their embroidery;
later the Greek women carried this art
to such perfection that their work riv-
aled the finest paintings. Embroidered
garments, wrought by the skillful hands
of the Anglo-Saxon ladies, were es-
teemed so precious in all parts of Europe
that they were called, by distinction, An
glicum opus. At that period ornament
al needlework was considered the most
desirable accomplishment which lady
or even a princess could possess.-Wom ON

SAN Francisco, March 21.-The an
nouncement was made today that Anita
Baldwin, daughter of the California
millionaire, "Lucky" Baldwin, has
eloped with her second cousin, George
w. Baldwin, but whittier the pair have
gone, none but very intimate friends
know. They have taken their depar-
ture and it is presumed they went north
on honeymoon, for they are married,
having been joined together in the cabin
OF the tug Elizabeth, five miles outside
the heads, on the morning of January
9th.
Five years ago George W. Baldwin,
then young man of bout 20 years,
came to this city from Charlottesville,
Ind. His father, uncle of Lucky"
Baldwin of this city, had consigned the
youth to the care of the proprietor of the
Baldwin hotel, and Immediately upon
appearing here, George was given en-
ployment in the Office of the hotel.
Two years ago, it is stated, the
fact dawned upon the millionaire
that the affection that bound George
and Anita was more than that which
generally tied cousins together, and he
made up his mind to keep them separ-
ated. Accordingly Anita was sent to
Mills seminary, However, early in '9l,
George proposed marriage and was ac-
cepted by Anita. The latter knew her
father would never consent to the mar
riage, but the prospective loss of her in

an church performed the ceremony.
The secret of the wedding was wei
t'Hept, and it would not yet be known
had not the husband and wife
become tired of living apart. After
the wedding at sea, Anita hoped
to gain her fathers consent
to her prospective marriage with hel
cousin. She spoke in her own behalf
and wrote long and affectionate letters
pleading her cause, but the millionaire
remained obdurate; and when, last
Thursday, he started to 90 to his ranch
at Santa Anita, the young couple re
solved to elope and allow the secret oi
their marriage to become public. Fri.
day and Saturday were spent in making
arrangements for the trip north. Yes
terday Mrs. Baldwin wrote letter to
her father, in which she made comics
sion and implored forgiveness for herself
and husband. The missive was mailed
in the afternoon and will be received by
the millionaire at Santa Anita tomorrow
morning.
| A reporter for the HERALD drove out
to the Santa Anita ranch last evening tc
interview Mr.. Baldwin regarding the
elopement. The object of the search
was found in the ranch house, but was
in such high-tempered frame of mind
that it was impossible to obtain talk
with him. He objected strongly to any
questioning regarding the affair. and

without extending any courtesies such
as are ordinarily accorded to any civil
lied individual after drive of eighteen
miles through foggy night. Accord
