The February number of The Art
Amateur is particularly interesting
one. For frontispiece there is fine
reproduction OF a spirited study of a
head by Alphonse Legros, late Slade
Professor at University College, Lon
don, which is an admirable example of
the artists pencil work. 'Greta's''
Boston letter deals with the threatened
extinction OF the Art Commission, Mr..
Slrgent's painting for the Library
building, the memorial exhibition of
Foxcroft's work, and the Chanlor
Scholarship. There is concise and
pithily written account OF the New
York Water-Color Club Exhibition,
and also that at the Century Club OF
Pre- -Raphaelite pictures. Next comes
the first paper of an illustrated article
on the Vanderbilt prints, which has a
beautiful little reproduction of Rem
brandt's etching OF himself. The
article on Prud'hon and Mile. Mayer
is profusely illustrated with fine re-
productions of the Masters work, in
Guiding his charming pastel portrait Of
Mile. Mayer. A most practical article,

However much one may have differed
politically from Mr.. Blaine, he cannot
fail to be interested in the striking
personality OF the man, a personality
which possesses phenomenally intense
and universal interest for the people ut
large, quite independent of any imme-
diate connection with the questions of
the day. The February Cosmopolitan
presents careful review Of Mr.. Blaine's
characteristics as a man and statesman,
prepared by Mr.. 7. G. Crawford, and
illustrated by numerous sketches of his
home, and famous cartoons apropos of
striking phases of his political career.
Curiously enough. this is found side by
side with General Badeau's sketch of
Lord Beaconstield. Badeau, when Sec
retary OF Legation, was acquainted
with Disraeli, and the alternately BIZ
zarre and magnificent political figure
cut by this extraordinary man is de-
scribed in q most readable manner.
The second article in the series of the
Great Railway Systems OF the United
States" alss appears in this number,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, with
! Is more than ten Thousand miles of
track being treated. The story is told
OF Its early beginnings, of the auto
cratic power welded by its managers
over more than one-quartcr Of our ter
ritory. Few people not living on the
line of this road have any conception of
its marvellous Importance. A delight
ful Japanese story, ''Toki Murata,"
and jeu d'esprit entitled June, 1893" )"
from the pen of Julian Hawthorne, are
unusually entertaining; the flying
machine has never given opportunity
fer n wittier, and at the same time
more valuable speculation than Mr..
Hawthorne's. The making of beet
root sugar is one OF the rapidly grow.
ing interests on the North American
continent, but the first time in maga-
zine literature it is here thoroughly
explained in every process, helped out
by photographs of the seed, the roots,
the method of cultivation and the most
improved machinery for conversion
into sugar.

1t is "after nightfall on the last night
of the old year" that a curious cere-
mony called oni horai, or "devil e1pul-
sion," is performed. The head Of the
family with box Of roasted beans goes
into every room in the house, and scat
tering the beans about the room and
into every corner cries out: "Faku wa
achi, oni wa soto"-"Happiness within,
the devil without" On that night no
one is supposed to sleep, but if one
should for any reason go to sleep one
must certainly wake at about o'clock
of New Years day, which is "the day
of the three beginnings-of day, a
month and year."-Exchange.

from Canada a few years since and estab.

The mans name was Briggs, and he was
not long in his new home before the most
ignorant Of his neighbors came to the CON
clusiont that he was an illiterate advsnturer.
He was brought up before the court for
practicing without license and was per.
mitted, after the rest Of the evidence was
in. to testify in his own behalf, which he
did as follows,
District Attorney-Mr. Briggs. have you

BORDER olTY BOYS WIN.
They Did 1t In the Fifth Inning as the
Following Story Shows.

Even if the police force OF Fall River
cannot impress the public favorably, the
ball tessers from the city of axes, erst-
while the city of mysteries, can. The
great and only Lincoln pitched his first
game in Portland this season, and he
was not so invulnerable as the spectators
thought he would be. The big left-hand-
er had good speed, SO had Dilworth, our
recent importation from way down East.
But Lincoln kept his hits scattered,
while Dilworth was pounded unmerci-
fully in the fifth when the Border City
boys won out clean and handy. y 1t
should not be inferred from the above
that Dilworth is not good pitcher. He
has fine command of the bali and a good
drop. but he received wretched sup
port.
The game was full of sensational plays
of various descriptions. Smith played a
wonderful game, as did Fennelly, Deadly
and Mains, but the Fall Rivers punched
their hits and that tells the story.
The outfeld of the Portlands was
changed on account of Burke's illness,
SO Deadly went to first, Mains to centre
and Klobedanz to right. Each of these
players did well.
At the start the Portlands were first at
the bat, and it seemed as if things were
coming their way. Deadly got his base
on balls, Smith hit to third and on the
attempt to catch Deadly at second he got
first. Rogers tried to sacifice and beat
the ball to first thus leaving three men
on bases with none out. Burns popped
fly over back of first. and Deadly
scored. Mains tried to sacrifice to Har-
rington, but the latter juggled the ball
and Smith scored, while Mains was safe.
1t looked like strawberry festival.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-03-23

H. L. Sweeney, of Drifton, president
of the Union Company, and G.. w.
Weightman, w. II. Jessup, Jr, and f.
w. Bleckley, Of Scranton, directors, met
at Freeland yesterday and drove over
the route of the road in the borough and
township. Some very important busi-
ness was transacted at the meeting, and
work will be pushed rapidly as soon as
the weather permits. 1t is not yet
decided in what part of the town the
plant will be located, but it will likely
be erected at some point where water
and railroad facilities are convenient.
From persons who are in position to
know it is learned that the Union is pre-
pairing to give Freeland one of the most
complete electric systems in the state
A noticeable feature of the Unions
movements is that they are not accom-
paaied by large amount of unnecessary
talk and bluffing, but they are hard at
work nevertheless, and the few persons
of town who are lamenting because
Judge Woodward decided against the
Hazleton people might do well to keep
quiet until they are better acquainted
with the plans of the two companies.

North Side Company.

1t is rumored that the North Side
Company will not be deferred from
reaching this place by the decision of
the court on Monday. 1t is stated the
present supervisors, Messrs Mclaughlin,
of the Points, and Wilson, of South
Heberton, met representative of the
company in a store in the upper part of
the borough last week and held meet
ing. They decided, it is alleged, to grant
the Hazletoh parties the right of way
over the township road that extends
from above Luzerne street toward St.
AIMS church.
With this road the North Side can
come here over the following route;
Through Halle township to Drifton,
then along the road that extends from
the latter place in the direction of Butler
valley, branching off it to the "church
road" )" which is also in Halle, and then
entering Foster by the road over which
Fosters supervisors are said to have
granted the right of way.
This would make very circuitous
route, and it is doubtful if the company

Dividing the License Money.

County Treasurer McGroarty has is
sued his annual statement regarding the
disposition of the liquor license money.
1t shows that Freeland borough has 23
retail licenses at $3.50 each, 5 bottlers at
5000 each and wholesale dealer at 5000
The 81 900 paid by the bottlers goes tc
the state, also the 5000 wholesale fee
and of the retail license money the coun.
ty gets $500 and the borough 50, ,696. 20.
In Foster there are 35 retail dealers,
who paid S75 each, and the township
will receive S2,039.50 and the county
s525. Foster also has one bother, whose
500 fee goes to the state, as well as the
5000 received from its two wholesale
dealers.
Other districts in the lower end will
receive the following amounts: Butler,
$456; Conyngham S57; Halle, 500;
Hazleton, $26, ,2lS; West Hazleton, $79S,
and White Haven, 81 ,504. Foster will
get the largest amount of license money
of any township in the county.
The county treasurer will pay the
money over to the treasurers of cities,
boroughs and townships on Saturday
