A GOOD PROSPECT.
High Point Park May Have a Brilliant
Future in Store.


Future in Store.
II the proper Judgment is exercised by
those in authority High Point Park may
yet become the leading pleasure resort of
this region for both the summer and
winter seasons. The lease is held by the
Washington Hook & Ladder Company of
Mahanoy City, but the popularity it has
acquired has been won through the
energetic and enterprising methods of the
Lakeside Electric Railway Company
The latter sees big thing in the park If
II is properly arranged and regulated
and has made several propositions to the
leaseholders, who appear to be some
what Indifferent. The railway company
proposes to furnish the park with
water, enclose IT. with fence,
erect a pavilion similar to that
at Lakeside, and scatter about
the grounds a Ferris wheel, toboggan
slides, flying horses, and other means OF
amusement for both old and young It is
estimated that these Improvements will
cost between $1,000 and 5000 The rail-
way company is disposed to make them,
but 1t does not want to be placed in the
position OF having done so and run the
risk of any whim of the company holding
the lease. Therefore the railway company
has made three propositions to the fire
company ~ the railway company will
make all the improvements providing the
fire company will agree to pay the legal
rate of interest until such time as it can
pay the actual cost of the improvements
(2) the railway company will make all inn
provements providing the fire company
will assign its lease to the railway
company, the lease to be reassigned as
soon as the fire company can pay the act
ual cost Of the improvements CD the
railway company will take the property
off the hands of the fire company and
make all improvements, at the same time
paying the fire company 500 annually
over and above its ground rent and ex-
penses in connection with it. In all Of
these propositions the provisO is also
made that the fire company may have the
grounds free of charge at such times as
it may have a picnic of its own. These
propositions are now under consideration
There is one thing certain, and that is,
the grounds must be fenced in very soon,
or they will suffer greatly. They are now
practically neglected and many of the
beautiful trees are being ruined by boys
climbing up into them and breaking off
the branches

Child Run Over.

Ethel, the seven-year-old daughter of
Charles and Katie Haskins, of East Coal

last night by team belonging to Will
lam Neiswender and driven by George
Hess. One of the child's arms was broken
between the shoulder and the elbow and

Medlar Arrested,

MAHANoY CITY, Aug. 31.-A message
has been received here stating that
Howard Medlar, the Lakeside Electric
Railway conductor who disappeared on
Monday night has been arrested at
Philadelphia on complaint of Capt
Bailey, one of the railway officials. 1t is
generally believed that the case will be
speedily settled as Medlar's Indebtedness
to the company is only little over ten
dollars and there does not seem to be a
disposition to have law suit over the
trouble he had with Patrick Welch, the
mOtOrman

NOTES OF
THE DIAMOND
The Home Team Drops Back Into
Fifth Place.
HUSTON MAKES A PROTEST
He Claims His Club Forfeited to Shen.
andOah Under a Misunderstanding.
Manager Brennan'S Statement.

The game forfeited by Harrisburg on
Wednesday put the Shenandoahites in
fourth place, they passing Reading, and
the second game forfeited put the club in
a position to take third place had Lancas-
ter and Reading lost yesterday, but the
latter clubs held their own and the coal
diggers were obliged to again take the
place they dropped to ON Monday last.
Tomorrow the Shenandoahs play two
games with Hazleton and judging from
the past experience, stand good chance
for losing both but if such should be the
case the coal diggers will still hold fifth
place in the race. AS Atherton and
Stewart, late of the Demorests, Join the
club tomorrow morning they may take
part in the game and help bring about a
showing from the past. Both are said to
be excellent players, Atherton enjoying
the reputation of being at home at any
point of the diamond.
Referring to the two games forfeited to
the home team by the non-appearance Of
the Harrisburgs on Wednesday and
Thursday a dispatch from Harrisburg to
the Philadelphia Times says: "The
Harrisburg club refused to go to Shenan
doah to-day TO play scheduled game
with the team in that town because the
Huston, of Harrisburg, to play two games
to-day. In accordance with this arrange
ment Harrisburg did not appear at Sheu.
andoah yerterday. AS the agreement
made was violated by the Shenandoahs
claiming a game Manager Huston re-
fused to play to-day"
In connection with the above Manager
Brennan told a HERALD reporter that
Manager Huston was laboring under a
misapprehension. An agreement was
made with Huston at Reading that if
Shenandoah could arrange a game with
another club away from home for We'd
nesday the Harrisburgs would play two
games here on Thursday. If Manager
Brennan did not succeed in making the
other date the Harrisburgs were to play
here on both days. If Manager Huston
received dispatch that the outside date
had been made he was to come on here
Thursday. In the absence of notification
he was due here on Wednesday.

Ruskin's Toys.

The home rule of Ruskin's mother
was we'll nigh Puritanic in severity; his
toys were few and his source of amuse-
ment limited. He says:
For toys, had bunch of keys to
play with so long as was capable Of
pleasure in what glittered and jingled;
as l grew older l had a cart and ball,
and when l was six years old, two boxes
of well cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but still think
entirely sufficient possessions, and being
always summarily whipped if l cried,
did not do as was bid or tumbled on
the stairs, soon attained serene and
secure methods of life and motion, and
could pass my days contentedly in
tracing the squares and comparing the
colors of my carpet, examining tho
knots in the wood of the floor, or count
ing the bricks in the opposite houses.
There were also intervals of rap
turous excitement during the filling of
the water cart through its leathern pipe
from the dripping iron post at the pave
ment edge, or the still more admirable
proceedings of the turncock, when he
turned and turned until fountain
sprang up in the middle of the street.
But the carpet, and what patterns l
could find in bed covers, dresses or wall
papers to be examined, were my chief

Their Pets.

They were seated at a table in promi
nent restaurant-four fond parents and
two youngsters, each about old enough to
lisp few words.
"Our Charley can walk so nice, can't 90,
90 nice little fellow?" said one mother.
And our Clara walks clear across the
room without falling, don't 90, SWEET"
"Charley's so good. He will play by him
self by the hour, and l can tend to my
work."
"And Clara never kept US up a night
since we have had her."
So the conversation went on, each parent
trying to out do the other in Dragging. Fl
nally the family to which Clara belonged
finished the meal. The mother picked up
the girl and said, Nov give Charley nice
kiss before you CO." Charley was in the act
of Strengthening an orange and had already
reduced it to q mushy mass. AS Clara's face
came close to his he raised his arm on high,
and bringing it down forcibly planted the
mushy orange very artistically upon Clara's
pug nose Such a howl as went up startled
all the guests, and when Clara slapped him
the noise was doubled. Clara's ma and pa
hardly speak to Charley's ma and pa, and
each family thinks that the younger men,
Der of the other family is just horrid.-

Boyle C'l;eiIly's Swordsmanship.


Boyle O'Reilly was skilled swords
man. He told me that when he first
came fugitive to this country he
thought he would maintain himself
by giving lessons in broadsword, sin
gle stick and foils, and it used to give
him great pleasure to put a foil in
my hands and say to me-for 1 pro-
fess to know nothing of it-''Ned, on
guard! Now, run me through.
Thrust me anywhere you can. Kill
me if you can." And then, with a
smile upon his face, he would ward
off my lunges, until suiting his pur-
pose, he would send my sword flying
across the room. Often on our eX-
cursions he would say to me, Ned,
take that stick and cut me down."
He wanted no play about it. He
wanted an earnest fight, and comply
ing with his wishes I would often
rush at him with a stout stick in my
hand only to have him laughingly
repel my attack, and these affairs
generally wound up by his giving
me a whack over the shoulders that
nearly broke me in two.-Donahoe's
MagaZine.

The "GOld Snake"

A Mexican superstition, very common
among miners in that country, relates
to the ''gold snake" This species of
serpent is perfectly harmless and very
handsome, being green in color and
with golden iridescence in its scales.
Faith is entertained that wherever a
gold snake makes it's nest there is q
ledge containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will locate
a claim at once if they find gold snake.

homage as profound as would be given

Morals and the Modes.

Morals and the Modes.
Twas at the meeting of the ways
The maiden pensive stood,
Puzzled to know which road would lead
Most safely through the wood.
A straight and narrow pathway led
Dir :tly to her goal.
Most trying for her gown and hat
And wearing for her sole.
A broader road led OBVIOUSLY.
But smoothly thitherward,
And Which to take this maiden fair
Had found exceeding hard.
At last she started. with fixed
Decision in her eye.
''1'll take the crooked road" she said.
"And will tell you why:
Il do not like to struggle with
The underbrush and leaves
Besides, the other is by far
Too narrow for my sleeves"
