Editor Cooking over reporters copy
What's thisl Our esteemed fellow
citizen, Col. Jones, is believed to be at
deaths door?" Didn't we print a
sketch of Col. Jones career some time
back? Look it up, and bring it up TO
date in case he should die tonight.
Reporter (after an inspection of the
files)-Here it is, sir, but I'm afraid It
won't do for an obituary. 1t was writ

BASE BALL POINTS.

The character of yesterdays game was
surprise to Manager Ferry and other
members of the Tigers Athletic Club,
and none regret the affair more than
the local management So far as the
Tigers are concerned they endeavored
to have the game played on its merits,
and they dsclaim all knowledge of
deal of any kind. They made arrange
ments with Manager Houston, at Phila-
delphia on Wednesday, to give an ex-
hibition here on guarantee of 500.
Why the visitors failed to play their
game and allowed the Tigers to win is
not known positively, but it is reported
that a deal was made between the
Harrisburg players and two of Halle
toms dispeputable gamblers to throw
the game to Freeland and thereby allow
the gamblers to win by betting on the
Tigers.
The home team, however, was not>a
party to this disgraceful scheme and did
not know of it until after the game
~SThe money was not bet here, as no
gambling is allowed at the park, but at
Hazleton on Saturday evening and yes
terday morning. This report, however,
cannot be proven, and Manager Houston
last evening denied that such deal had
been made.
The Tigers guarantee that another
such game will not take place here if
they can prevent it. The home club has
never abused the confidence of the
sporting public and they intend to ferret
out the inside history of YESTERDAYS
game. f. X. Myers, president of the
Harrisburg club, has been sent state
ment of the case and requested to nves-
tigate in his club the reports that have
been circulated about gambling.
The State league has decided that each
club shall receive half the gate receipts
of every game played. This does not
suit Scranton, and it is expected that it
will take Troy's place in the Eastern
league.
The Pottsville Journal insinuates that
genes are won and lost in the State
league to suit the gamblers who follow
the clubs. There is considerable betting
on these games, and it is believed that
it is fully as bad as the Journal states.
The Mahanoy City club is expected to
be the attraction here on August 5.
There was a game here on Friday

Another Tragedy at Duryea.

At Duryea, this county, on Friday af-
ternoon, John Rokoski, miner, came
home drunk and on his wife remonstrat-
ing with him, he became crazy with
anger and shot her through the head.
The woman will probably die. He then
turned the revolver on himself and fired
two bullets into his head. They did not
penetrate the skull and he will recover.

San FranciscO's Bellies.

The proper fad now for the young
woman who is anybody at all Is to part
her name in the middle, like her BROTH
er's bangs, so to speak. This is dis
tinctively de rigeur. The girl you once
called Fannie Lewis, who at school
wrote her name Fannie B. Lewis and
was later on known as Miss Fran ces
Lewis is now known as Miss F. Brown
Lewis. Pretty little Nellie Dawson,
whom you had scarcely become used to
reading about in the society columns as
Miss Helen Dawson, has become meta
morphosed into Miss II. Brinckerhoff
Dawson. Where did she get that high
sounding middle name? Was her
mother Brinckerhoff? Not at all. In
deed one shrewdly suspects that Miss
Nellie christened herself from one of
of her favorite novels. Will the fad
last? Probably through the summer.
And what is the girl to do who has no
parting to her name? The general ad-
vice is to invent one. The SWEETEST of
all, they say, is the girl who when
tot at school used to weep Bit
terly ever her three front names"

General Caceres.

General Andres Avelino Cacercs, the
newly elected president Of Peru, has a
proud record as a soldier. He got sub
lieutenancy at the age of 6 and steadily
won promotion for gallant conduct on
the field. For year he was military
attache, while still young, to the Peru
Wan legation at Paris and travelled con-
siderably over Europe. He was second
vice president in 1881 and was re-elect
I'd to that office by congress in 1888.
Chosen president in 1886, he had a diff
ficult task to administer the affairs of a
disordered country after defeat by
Chile, but he flied the Office for the full
term with credit.-Chicago Herald.

One Kind of Railroad Pass.

"The postmaster general of the
United States has at his command
greater number of railway milea ges
free of cost than perhaps any man in
the world" said L. n. Tinsley, a rail-
way passenger conductor. "My igno-
rance of this came very nearly costing
me my Job few years ago. Over in
Illinois one midnight the through train,
of which had charge, was tagged at a
little way station, and red-faced man
climbed abe ard the front passenger
coach. The stopping of my train at
that hour of the night made me mad to
begin with, and l was in no good
humor when approached my new pas
senger to collect his fare. Then, when
he showed at me a much han died piece
of pasteboard, signed by the postmaster
general anu commanding in imperious
language that the holder he carried free
of charge on all trains carrying United
States mails, l lost my temper COM
pletely. | was so mad that l would
listen to no explanation from him, be-

eral commanding the conductors OF all
railroad trains which carry mail to pass

road company or official appears on the

Chicago WOman's Club.

The most progressive and aggressive
body Of women in the United States is
probably the Chicago Woman club 1t
would be no easy task to enumerate all
the worthy reforms which have origi-
hated in this club and have been success
fully carried out by committees of ener-
getic women The Chicago university is
the only one in the history of the world
that included in its very conception
the equal educational rights and privi-
leges Of women. Two dormitory halls,
presided oyer by women, provide re-
spectively home for 200 girls. One of
these was erected by women for women
and is, as far as known, the only one of
the kind 1t is the gift Of the women of
Chicago at a cost of $3.50. 900. The fund
was raised largely through the editorial
efforts of Mrs. Margaret F. Sullivan Of
the Chicago Herald, who showed, in
able articles, what large sums women
in all ages had given to help support
mems colleges, while women's colleges
were often badly crippled for need Of
money The club was responsive to Mrs.
Sullivan's appeals, the president head
ing the list with $1,000, and in less
than two weeks the funds were raised
Tor the erection and equipment Of the
splendid structure. One of the most i'm
portant steps achieved by the Chicago
Stub is the appointment of women on
the Chicago school board Mrs. Lucy
L. Flowers term is not yet expired, but
she has done such satisfactory work that
another woman, Mrs. Caroline K. Sher-
man. has been appointed lately. Mrs,
Flower is considered the best represent
alive of the working element for the
club having been for many years at the
head of the reform committee. Being a
teacher before she was married, and
coming from the east, where women on
the school boards are taken as a matter
of fact, Mrs. Flower was well equipped
for her work in the public schools. -

Will Appoint Women.

Mayor Schieren announced the other
day that he would appoint several wo-
men as members Of the Brooklyn board
of education next year, but that he
could not make such appointments this
year because he had selected Is men to
fill the vacancies which occurred ON
July before he received the petition of
the women to have their sex represent
ed. He said:
II am sorry to say that am so placed
now that | cannot comply with the re-
quest of the ladies. would like to do
so, but the list Of Is members of the
board is selected. think women should
be represented in the board of education
Questions arise there which a woman
seems to have a natural intuition to

practicability. This is especially true
as to the studies Of children. l believe

WOmen's Affairs in England.
Miss johnson has beaten all

Although Miss johnson has beaten all
her male competitors in this years
mathematical tripos at Cambridge, the
general work of improving the higher
education of women appears to be in
bad way, owing mainly, it is stated, to
the Indifference of those directly con-
cerned. The Association of Women Lee
turers particularly is ON the verge Of
bankruptcy and will cease to exist IN
less its patrons subscribe certain sum
Of money The association has been
patronized by aristocratic faddists to
any extent but the interest in its doings
rapidly vanishes when q call for cash is
made. On the other hand, women poll
ticians have plenty Of funds and were
never more active than now. Many big
meetings have been held in London and
the provinces, which must have cost q
lot Of money, the largest gathering of
the series having taken place at st.
James hall under the presidency of the
Countess of Carlisle, who is probably
the ablest woman in public life in this
country. This activity is due to the be-
lief in an early general election, because
there is no immediate need to bring
pressure to bear on the house of COM
mons, the hope of introducing female
suffrage bill at this session having been
abandoned. London Queen.

Bavaria's Mad King.

Should the Bavarian deputies indorse
the action just taken by the upper house
in deciding to place the insane King
Otto under guardianship and transfer
the crown to the madman's uncle,
Prince Luitpold, regent and heir pre-
sumptive, this royal maniac will lose
entirely the fictitious bauble Of kingly
authority which he has never been per-
mitted to exercise The story of the mad
monarch's life reads like some strange
tale of the middle ages.
Otto is now 40 years old and has been
insane more than half Of his life. He
nominally succeeded to the throne June
10, 1886, when his brother, King Lud-
wig II-who had been depoSed three
days before because his insanity had
become unendurable-com sui
eide by drowning himself in the lake of
Starnberg, in the park of Berg castle,
to which he had been removed for safe
keeping Ludwig had been crazy for
years upon music and palaces King
Otto never actually reigned Prince
Luitpold, his uncle, was appointed re-
gent when King Ludwig was dethroned
and has been the real ruler ever since
then.
Otto has long been confined in the
castle Of Fuerstenried, in the midst of
dense forest, not far from Munich.
The most disagreeable task a Bavarian
soldier has to perform is to do garrison
duty there, the gloom of the surround
ings being intensified by the dreadful
appearance of the mad monarch. His
hair is long and unkempt, and his bushy
brown beard reaches below his waist.
His eyes are usually fixed on empty
space. He is always dressed in black
broadcloth. At one time he fancied that
his carpets We're made of the finest glass,
and that it was dangerous to tread OIL
them. He would not be content until
they were all taken up. Another hallu-
cination was that the walls of his apart
ments We're hung with newspapers. H
would sit for hours facing wall, read
ing aloud what he imagined he found
in those newspapers He smoked some
thing like hundred cigarettes q day nj
last accounts, using up box of matches
to light each one, taking childish enjoy
ment in the flash and crackle of the lit
tie bits of wood. Once it occurred &c
him that it would be amusing to shoot
peasants, and he sat at window all
day long with a gun, watching like
hunter for his game His attendants
would load the gun with peas instead
of buckshot, and man in PEASANTS
dress would pass within range occa-
sionally. The king would shoot the
man would drop, and the apparently life
less body would be removed by guards

The Rights of Girls.

There has been good deal of talk of
late about the rights of growing girls,
and the general consensus seems to be
that girl has right, first of all, to
good, sound health, and next to a train
ing as comprehensive as her parents
are able to give her. Reading, 'riting
and 'rithmetic are by no means suffi-
cient for the present day girl. There
is nothing she does not wish to know,
and there is nothing that will do her
any special harm to know, provided it
is right for her brother to know it also
knowledge is not only power, but it is
safety and strength and steady, SUBJ
stantial growth. 1t is useless to argue
that girls should be kept in ignorance {;
but argue it as much as one pleases,
they will not stay so in this day and age
of the world. BY all means let them
know themselves, the world and the
possibilities of the future. By this
means they will be saved great many
shocks and will go much more smoothly
through the world than they possibly
could if kept in ignorance of the most
important things of life. Ignorance is
danger everywhere and always. And
the sooner the fathers and mothers OF
girls learn this the better it will be for
the cbildren.-Ne,o York Ledger.

STATE JOURNAL: WEDNESDAY,
Wars New TerrOrs.

Indications are that when two Euro
pean armies eventually meet on the
field, if the war talk ever resolves itself
into actual conflict, a good many men
will faint away In terror Of their ad-
versaries. The inventions" which have
been brought out lately in France, Ger
many and Austria, and which have been
purchased by the governments of those
countries, are innumerable, and every
one of them is designed to slaughter hui
man life at a rate that appals the imag
nation. The most intense and theatric
secrecy is maintained concerning all
these inventions, and only a few gen
eral facts regarding them have been
made public. The German army, it is
understood, is armed with rifles which
will send bullet through four men
standing one behind the other at dis
lance of 2 p miles from the rife. Aus
tria has machine gun which shoots
several thousand bullets a minute, which
is operated by steam and controlled by
a single gentleman with waxed mus
tache and monocle in his left eye, who
lightly turns a crank. AT least this is
the condition of things according to the
latest illustrated journals at hand The
man with the eyeglass can turn the
|. crank fast enough to sweep 80, 900 or
40, 900 mon into eternity during the
luncheon hour.
Incidentally German tailor has in
vented coat that makes the wearer
absolutely indifferent to bullets at any
-.
for throwing very small and almost in
visible torpedoes distance of nearly a
quarter of mile. The torpedoes de-
scribe a parabola in the air, drop into
the camp of the enemy and explode
with force enough to kill 100 or more
soldiers if they happen to be in the vi
cinity. Great numbers of them can be
thrown at a time, and a pleasing and
cheerful feature of it is that there are
no disagreeable odors nor any smoke
whatever when the explosion occurs.
M. Turpin of France is the latest hero
in this direction. He has invented some
thing which is so altogether awful that
the taxpayers have requested the gov
eminent to give NJ. Turpin great
amount of money, so that he will not
turn his machine over to the Germans
This machine is operated by electricity,
and, according to its inventor, it is of
so terrible nature that it will do away
with all Notifications throughout the
civilized world. This is merely detail
of the execution which this machine is
expected to accomplish. Forts will be
of no use, because M. Turpin's machines
would rend them all into atoms, and at
distance of several miles a man can
NOV down the enemy at the rate of
90, 900 at an engagement. The facts are
inspiring but there is lack of detail
about them which is in accordance with
much of the literature which has lately
been put forth by the various Nun
chausens among the war officers Of Eu-
rope. The Turpin invention so far out
strips everything else, according to the
critics of modern warfare, that it will
insure universal peace. One machine
alone is enough to devastate country.

The Disadvantages of Seeing.

To get q really good education one must
be unfortunate in some way. Those who
ever saw the graduating ceremonies OF the
Perkins Institution of the Blind and OBJ
served how solid and thoughtful the young
men and women We're, and at the same
time reflected that the students had q
great obstacle to overcome in gaining an
education, must have wondered whether,
after all, it is so great misfortune to be
blind. Seeing somehow dissipates the in
telligence, No curiosity so idle as the Gu
riosity of the eyes. To see is so delightful
a thing that during great part of our life
we see not for the sake of knowing but
for the sake of seeing. And the seeing of
thing being past and gone we think no
more about it or know nothing about 1t,
The blind person, being under no neces-
Bity TO satisfy this curiosity of the eyes,
has much time to study in his own way
and then to reflect deeply and clinch his
hold upon the things he has learned. There
are many of us in the seeing world who
live almost wholly upon what we see
who are susceptible to beauty in things
seen that our minds must be occupied
with it long after we have seen 1t, and of
ten when no doubt we should be learning
or thinking to some useful purpose we
are merely bringing back to our minds
eyes the things that our bodily eyes have
seen. Nor are these things always Alto
gether good for the development of the
mind and the soul. If, for part of the
time, we could go through the world with
closed eyes, and even feel our way about
the streets with stick, it might be better
for our intellects. Boston Transcript.
