Dall-Brown, l. Time-l.55. Umpire-Bonner.
Lansford is going into the base ball
business in earnest this season. Over
$400 will be expended in enclosing and
placing the grounds in condition, and
the association will still have about $500
in the treasury. The first game will be
played with Bethlehem on Memorial
Day.
The Minersville Club has disbanded,
owing to the Pennsy's new link running
through their grounds. That should not
discourage them. FIeeland had the
same trouble four years ago when the
Lehigh Valley placed its tracks and
station in the finest park of the region,
but base ball still lives here.
The Freeland Base Ball Association
will meet at Miller's Hotel at 7. 80 o, clock
on Saturday evening. Every member
must attend, as business of great impor-
tance is to be brought up at this meeting.
This is official.
Catasauqua will miss the services of
O'Hara and Rothermel, who have sign
ed with Harrisburg.
There will be no game here next Sun
day. So says Manager Hanlon.
The Weston Club can have all the
ball ball it desires if it will commune
cate with d. j. Boyle, manager of the
Upper Lehigh Association.
GAINESVILLE plays two games on its
grounds with the Easton Club on
Memorial Day.
A few of Freeland's players seemed
on Sunday as though the spring fever
still fingered in their bones. That tired
feeling was noticeable when they went
to bat.
The State League, consisting of Pitts
burg, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Altoona,
Danville, Reading, Allentown and Leba-
non, opens its season on Saturday.
Mike Heffron, of Shenandoah, who
played here last year, contemplates put
ting strong team in the field to compete
for Schuylkill County honors.
Catasauqua is booked to play at
] Jeanesvlle on Saturday.
Patrick Fox, of Pottsville, the pitcher
of the Ivy Leaf Base Ball club, has ac-
cepted the offer of the Reading League
team. James Cavanaugh, Fox's catcher,
who also had an offer from the Reading
team, will not accept for the season, but
will catch at least a couple of weeks for
his old pitcher.-Lant0rd Record.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were few opportunities to display any
scientific work on Sunday, the spectators
were anxiously awaiting chance to
distribute the enthusiasm that was
bottled during the winter months. A
few good games here will make the
national game more popular than it was
in any past season.

HIDING PLACES FOR MONEY,

{ g : !.
Odd Places In Which Eccentric per-
sons and Criminals Secrete Their
Treasures.
IL IS hard to tell where eccentric
people will not hide money" said a
detective the other day to a London
lIt--Bits man. II was once sent for
to find the money of a man who had
suddenly died and left no visible trace
OF his wealth. The family had made
q careful, systematic search before T
arrived. [ learned that he was NOT
mlserly, and inferred that he had not
used any OF those complicated meth
ods OF concealment which are one of
the miser's chief characteristics. I
found that his business took him fire.
quently from home, and that he had
formerly been sailor. I asked what
room ne usually slept in and they
said: All over the house, adding that
they had fully examined every place
IN which he was ever knownto be. I
asked about his clothing and insisted
upon seeing it. Some one brought mis-
garments In at last, and very shabby
looking they were. I went over them
without success until my eye caught
the binding. He. always kept them
we'll bound,' said his wife. Sail
ors are cook sewers The bind
ing was wide, but we soon had
1t of, and there we found, folded
!engthWlse, and protected with oil-siIk,
fourteen 9lOO notes and a. score of
"hvers.' A systematic search is often
not as good as a shrewd guess bv an
inexperienced person. Yes, there are
men who conceal wealth away from
nome. Criminals almost always do
it. Middle-aged countrymen do it,
but when they get old they are almost
sure to hide it near the spot where
they pass most of their time. 1 have
found money in the covers of an old
tamil y bible, behind mirrors, in the

VlNDICTIVE WILLS.

Testators Who Have Left Harm
less but SpitefuI Comments
At one time it was common thing
Tor testator to leave sting behind
him, even if he could beoueath nothing
else. Some striking requests OF this
description were made by a son of
Lady Mary Wortley Montague in
witty will, the blank spaces OF which
can be filled up by an body at all &C
quainted with the eminent men of the
period. ''To Sir Francis-I give one
word Of mine, because" so runs the
document, she has never had the good
fortune to keep his own. To sir Rob
ert--I leave my political opinions,
never doubling he can we'll turn them
into cash who has always found such
an excellent market in which to change
his own. My cast-off habit of swear
ing oaths l give to Sir Leopold D.
in consideration that no oaths have
ever been able to find him yet This
posthumous political luminosity is
not SO reprehensible, however, as the
personal hatred which must have
prompted a testator to leave a man
and his wife small sum OF money to
buy for each a halter, for fear the
Sheriff's should not be provided. Such
requests as these are too clear. It
would have been better, perhaps, if
the testators had sought a little of
the obscurity of language which was
the aim of celebrated lawyer who is
said to have Intentionally drawn his
will in ambiguous term in order that
it might, by giving rise to litigation,
lead to an authoritative settlement
OF some very fine moot points which
had often vexed him during his life.

are at the wrong house."
"Well has not the carrier been leay-
