MILWAUKEE, Feb. 10 All efforts to
rescue the twenty men ON the Intake

thus far proven futile There are eigh
teen men under Contractor Thomas
Murphy. It is impossible TO learn the
names of the men. as they are all from
Port Huron. Mich, and live on the crib
The last seen of the crib was at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that
time 1t appeared all right. The binding
snow soon shut it from view The lake
is full OF floating ice.
There is not tug In commission, and
the sea Is running so high that It Is i'm
possible TO get anywhere near the
imperilled men. Nothing positive IN re
gard to their condition can be learned
until the storm abates.

From the Kings Jester, New York
The man who does not utilize advertis-
ing in his business has no business to be
in business, and generally isn't-that is,
he's not in it to any great extent The
experience of prominent advertisers all
over the country, men who have been
successful, proves that advertising is a
Legitimate part Of business, and that an
extensive business can hardly he carried
on without it,
These men have great faith in contin.
uous advertising and would deem it as
great folly to run an advertisement one
week and discontinue it the next, as they
would to locate their store on one street
one week and remove to another street
the following, They are well aware that
the strength Of advertising is in the con-
tinuity of it, and that should be kept up
as regularly as any part of their business,
from buying their stock to dressing their
windows.

TIGERS LOSE A GAME.
MISERABLE BALL PLAYING BY THE
HOME CLUB THE CAUSE.

The Most Exciting Game in FreeIand
Ends in Defeat for the Tigers-Had n
Large Lead, but Could Not Hold 1t.
Beaten by One Run.
Nearly 500 people saw the Tigers de-
feated yesterday afternoon by Coughs
Hustlers, a Hazleton club composed of
the crack amateurs of that city and State
league players. The visitors came over
with strong club and were prepared to
win, and in doing so they made the
game as exciting as the most fastidious
rooter could wish for. The audience
was about evenly divided in its sympa-
thy, and only trivial plays were neces-
sary to cause outbursts of applause. On
the grand stand the interest was kept at
fever heat until the last man was out.
From base ball point of view the
game was third-class affair, neither
side being able to give an exhibition
worthy to be called base ball, but the
intense rivalry between the two clubs
and the towns caused the spectators to
overlook much of the poor playing, for
the misplays Of one side served only to
increase the enthusiasm of the other
clubs admirers. The error of a Halle
ton player was as welcome to the Free
land people as hit by Tiger, and the
same was the case with the friends of
the visitors, who greeted the brilliant
misplays Of the Tigers with deafening
applause.
In the first inning the home club roll
ed up five runs with ease. Pfrom, who
had fooled them 50 badly twice this sea-
son, was hit without trouble, and it look
ed like clean walkover for Freeland.
In the second Hazleton began playing a
strong uphill game and succeeded in scor.
ing one run in that inning and another
in the next. In the fourth the Tigers
added another run to their five, but the
hustlers came in and made two. Free
land pushed their total up to seven in
the fifth, and when they took the field
the players put up miserable ball and let
in four runs, which gave the visitors one
of lead. Three more in the sixth, one
in the seventh and another in the
eighth gave them thirteen. The Tigers
made two in the seventh, one in the
eighth and two in the ninth, but were
still two short of enough to win. Nc
Garvey's excellent playing and the
three-base hits of Cannon and Boyle
were the features of the game. Both
pitchers threw well, considering the
support they received.
Following is the official SCORE.

Taken to a KeeIy Institute.

On Saturday morning Patrick Furey,
a man who is well-known in various
parts of the coal regions, was taken to
the heely Institute at Harrisburg, where
an attempt will be made to reform him
and take away the craving for strong
drink which has so far blighted what
promised to be bright career. Furey
is highly educated and formerly taught
school in this vicinity, but liquor obtain
ed such firm hold upon him that he
lost his position several years ago. He
has since wandered about the region, an
object of pity to those who knew him in
his early days, and during the past few
years he became perfect wreck
The attempt to reform him was inagu-
rated by Rev. E. A. o. REILLY, of st. AIMS
church, who enlisted the assistance of the
charitable people of town. The Young
Mems Temperance Society headed the
subscription with a donation of $50, and
this was followed by several smaller sums
from other societies and individuals.
The professor, as he is called, was per-
fectly willing to undergo the ''gold cure"
treatment, and promises to make the eff
fort of his lifo to conquer his desire for
drink. He was attired in a fine new
suit of clothes when he left here on Sat
urday, and was accompanied to Harris
burg by j, j, Gillespie,
This will be probably the best test
case that the Keely Institute has yet
had, and if the treatment is a success it
will prove beyond a doubt that drunken
ness is disease and can be cured.

BASE BALL POINTS.

The game between Lattimer and the
Fearnots at the former place yesterday
broke up in the fifth inning in wrangle.
The score then stood 7 to 8 in favor of
the Fearnots. The trouble was caused
by decision of the umpire on strike.
Boner, second baseman of the Freeland
club, is one of the best amatuer second
baseman in Pennsylvania. He is cool
headed and brainy player and is one of
the cIeverest base runners in this section.

The Fearnots played the Silver Brook
club on the Honey Brook grounds on

The figures on the score card were 20 to

WATCH PRESENTATION.
Retiring Mine Foreman Thomas G. Shep
perd Remembered by His Imployes.

Retiring Mine Foreman Thomas G. Shep-
perd Remembered by His Employees.
A committee representing the EN-.
ployes of the Upper Lehigh Coal Com.
pany at No. colliery waited on the
retiring mine foreman, T. c. Shepherd,
on last Thursday evening, and presented
that gentleman with a beautiful gold
watch, as a token of the esteem in
which he is held by the men under him,
and the amicable relations that have
existed between men and master at that
colliery.
School Director Snyder, who made the
presentation address on behalf of the
men, had just left the drill few
moments before, and came totally un-
prepared, yet he managed to say some
very original things. He said that "it
had been customary in other places to
present the mine formsn with beautiful
and costly presents, but such presents
were invariably made while the mine
foreman was yet in charge, and grand
dispenser of the loaves and fishes"
The public looked on such presenta
tions with considerable suspicion and
the motives that impelled the donors
were sometimes severely questioned-in
fact it looked like throwing out spirit
to catch mackeral, and the small boy
who drives the single mule would
certainly call them suckers. But in our
case," said Mr.. Snyder, "the circum-
stances and conditions are altogether
different, the object and motives of the
donors are perfectly clear" ''You have
left the mine to enter the farm Take
tins watch. 1t is gift, free and spon-
taneous. 1t is a simple admission on the
part of the men that you have always
tried to use them right, Wear it, pre-
serve it. In after life you can tell your
children's children have always tried
to do what is right-here are the proofs.''
Mr.. Shepperd was taken completely
by surprise and his emotions made utter
ance impossible for some time. Gentle
men of the committee" +" said he after
much deliberation, "you have taken
me by surprise. This is the happiest
moment of my life. Your magnificent
gift and the circumstances under which
1t is presentel has completely unnerved
me. The tongue refuses to speak the
sentiments the heart feels. Thank YOU.
gentlemen, thank you, and through Won
the men who sent you."
Mr. Shepperd has been in charge at
this coliery for fourteen years and by
his general manners and rugged honesty
he won the good will of all who came in
contact with him. 1t is the earnest
wish of everybody in this community
that Mr.. Shepperd will prosper in his
new calling. What a contrast there is
between the prayers that follow Mr..
Shepperd to his Rockport home and the
maledictions that followed other people
from here in the recent past. Verify,
honesty is the best policy. G.

There is q rumor current that there is
a big plan on foot TO concentrate the an
thracite coal roads, including the Read
ing, Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central,
Delaware and Hudson and the Della

The former have been buyers of Read

their purchases is not known.
That control of the Reading has not
changed since last year is admitted, but
it is not improbable that the big holders
