FIRST FOOT BALL GAME.
Two Teams of the Tigers Club Made "A
Good Showing Yesterday.

Foot ball was given its first trial by
the Tigers at their park yesterday after
noon, and the initial game has increased
1t was a beautiful day for Il game, and
two teams were chosen from among the
young men who are preparing to defend
Freeland'S name in that line. The
Regulars were captained by j. =. Carey,
and the Reserves by Peter Gallagher.
w. j. Schmidt, who has been chosen as
coach by the Tigers Athletic Club for
this season, was unayoidably absent for
some time and John j. McGill, and
Harry King instructed the team in the
game. The players had considerable
indoor practice at the club rooms during
the past week, and anXi0uSly awaited
the order to'play.
Two twenty-minute halves were play
ed. The first resulted in a score Of l2
to 0 in favor of the Regulars. In the
second the Reserves made 6 points to
. for their opponents, thus making the
score II TO 6 in favor of the Regulars.
There were some very exciting plays
during the game, and several men on
both sidos showed up well. A number
of slight accidents also occurred. From
the two teams will be chosen lirSt-class
foot club, and every spare moment the
players have will be devoted to practice.

The text in the supreme court case,
Durkin VS.. the Kingston Coal Company,
has been received by the courts of this
county, and it is very important by rea-
son of the fact that it is one of the first
cases tried under the law Of 1891, max
ing mine owners responsible for acct
dents. In the trial before Judge Lynch
for loss of service of his son, who was
killed in the mines by the floor of n
gangway giving way and prcciptating
him to the gangway below. The su-
prcmc court directs that this verdict be
stricken of So far as the Kingston Coal
Company is concerned. but allows it to
stand as far as il relates to the foreman.
William Jones.
The case was tried under the act OF
1891, which makes mine owners reSpOn-
sibe in damages for accidents that re
suit from carelessness or inefIiciencv of
employees. The supreme court ques-
tions the constitutionality of part OF
this act, principally for the reason that
''lVi' hilh' luItHidl vi ihlhtl Culi
enter mine he must have certificate
OF competency granted by the state.
Thus the employees ability is vouched
for by the state and the mine owner is
relieved of responsibility.
The opinion in this case goes al
length into the discussion of this CON
tention and gives full history of the
acts which require miners and mine
foremen to have certificates of com
petencN.

The Result Was Captivating.

From the South Bethlehem Globe.
.'Tho Black Flag" was unfolded in II
manner to display all its beauty, by the
Maize Lewis Lewis Company at the
Central Music hall last evening. The
production of The Black Flag proved
to be positive demonstration Of the
strength of both the piece and the com
pany presenting it. The bright little
star of the company proved herself to be
an actress of much talent, and in the
leading fomale role showed rare discrc-
ton and Judgment in the handling of n
role full of light and shade and rcquir-
ing master hand to bring out that
shading in dramatic harmony. The
support surrounding Miss Lewis shows
that the management of the company
has used good Judgment. Each member
played with great care the role instrust-
ed to him on her, as the case was, and
the result was captivating and highly
appreciated ensemble. The applause
was loud and hearty, and at the fall of
each curtain it reached dealening pro-
portions.

Serious Mine Fire Averted.

The lloyt shaft, of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, at Port Griffith, was on
fire and considerable damage was done
before it was eXtinguished. The fire
started at $50 o'clock Friday morning
and was caused by Il blast igniting Il
large feeder and the coal was set on fire.
The scene OF the fire was 900 feet from
the mouth of the shaft, directly under
the river. Two thousand, two hundred
feet of hose was borrowed from the
Pittston fire department, and force of
men were put at work fighting the fire
They made but little headway, owing to
the difficulty in reaching the fire, but
finally eXtingushed it on Saturday.

There is more chtarrh IN this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrb-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be q constitutional
disease and therefore requires copstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. II is taken in

One of the most disastrous mine gas
explosions in the history of the Schuyl-
kill region occurred at the Knicker-
booker colliery, Shenandoah, on Satur-
day, when nine men were burned, four
fatally. Five of the men are expected
to recover. All the injured men reside
in Shenandoah. The names of the
victims are: George Karal, Charles
Majali and Michael Chico, fatally in
iured; Peter Burns, Anthony Surress.
Andrew Bossar, John Soptkl, Felix
Mecolski and Robert Lord, seriously
Poles and Lithuanians. They were all
seated in small heading eating lunch
when the explosion occurred, and
besides being terribly roasted they were
thrown about by the conclusion and cut
and bruised terribly.
The explosion did little damage to the
workings outside OF the immediate
vicinity whore the accident occurred
and did not interfere with the other
workings of the colliery.

The secret inquiry which Colonel Col
quit, of the internal revenue depart
ment, was making into the charges of
misconduct in office preferred against
Revenue Collector Grant Herring by eX-
Income Tax Collector Burke came to a
sudden termination shortly after noon
on Thursday at Scranton. Burke was
seen to suddenly leave the room where
the inquiry was on and in which at the
time there was no one but Colonel Col
quit, the stenographer, Herring and
Burke. Neither the inspector nor col
lector would say what was the cause of
Burke's sudden departure, and the lat.
ter also refused to tell except to state
that the examination as conducted was
a farce, and it was useless to bring
on witnesses whose testimony would not
be credited by the inspector.

From the WilltesbaIre Record.
y reader of the Rec0rd informs the
publishers that she has been yictimilcd
by sleek agent who palmed himself off
as a representative of bible publishing
house. He represented to her that by
taking an agency and directing circulars,
etc, she would be paid 55 a week. She
was poor and eagerly took the bait, the
agent meanwhile getting $3.50 out of her
as security. He represented that the
German minister's wife in Pittston was
making a nice sum in this way, but the
facts prove the agent was an unconscion-
able liar, and that he had swindlcd her,
too, out of $3.50 as also other unsuspect-
ing women. 1t is to be hoped that the
authorities may capture this confidence
man and put him behind the bars.

The Pottery Tree.

One of the most peculiar vegetable
products of Brazil is the MOquilea utilis
or pottery tree. This tree attains a
height of about 100 feet. and has a
very slender trunk, which seldom much
exceeds a foot in diameter at the base.
The wood is exceedingly hard, and con-
tains very large amount Of silica, but
not so much as does the bark, which is
largely employed as a source of silica for
the manufacture of pottery. In pre-
pairing the bark for the potter's use, it
is first burned and the residue is then
pulverized and mixed with clay in the
proper proportion. With an equal guam
tity of the two ingredients. a superior
quality of earthenware is produced.
This is very durable, and is capable of
withstanding any amount of heat. The
natives employ it for all kinds of culin'
AIRY purposes. When fresh the bark
cuts like soft sandstone, and the pres
ence of the slick may be readily ascer-
tanned by grinding piece of the bark
betW cen the teeth; when dry IL is gen
orally brittle, though sometimes difficult
to break. After being burned IL cannot,
If of good quality, be broken up between
the fingers, a mortar and pestle being re-
quired to crush it,-Scientific American.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-06-19

| will sum up the experience of this
years trials, in this line, thus far.
The small trees, say from two to four
inches in diameter, which were cut
down below the frost line, that was
here, about one inch beneath the sur
face, and twig budded In early March,
before the ground became hot succeeded,
as many as seventy-fve per cent are now
growing finely, but on the larger stock
it was failure; with these, they were
more elevated above the ground, the
crown roots refer to, and it was i'm
POSI- BILE to cut them off below the frost
line, and for some reason they have not
shown life and growth that the smaller
ones have shown.
AS to putting buds directly in the
roots, the bark OF the roots is brittle and
unyielding, and you cannot tell whether
the sap is on hand or is coming to sus
tain the bud, so far 1t is failure.
1t seems to me that we will have to
wait for entirely new growth to bud
into, before any degree of success can
be expected.
Now to encourage such new growth
these injured trees need nursing. They
need immediate attention. Some ferti-
lizer, the ground stirred, and the sprouts
thinned and budded as soon as large
enough.
Plenty of buds can be obtained from
some of the most favored groves about

Grove Talk.
Editol Florida Agricultural:


yes, coming again." The night of our
encouragement and gloom is passing
away and the dawn of another era in
orange growing is dawning upon US.
The growth that is coming now is vigor-
GUS and natural. Young trees are send
ing up shoots from the ground, that will
soon replace the dead tops. The large
trees that saved their bodies and some
limbs are extending their growth out
ward and are looking quite green again.
All this shows that the roots are alive
and healthy. Now they need work, and
plenty of it, to push them along as fast
as possible, and some fertilizer if it can
be bought, but alas! most of our growers
probably are in the fix of the writer, not
able to buy it. One good thing though
onr grove lots are very rich as we can
see from the growth of weeds and grass,
so that with good work now most of the
groves will rush ahead. Don't wait to
see If the trees are going to do anything,
if you do that the growth will be slow
and puny. Pitch right in now and work
them. If some of the trees have not put
up shoots, dig down around them and
open up the tap root to the air and they
will soon start. If the growing shoots
begin to get top heavy, tie them up or
pinch off the top when they will grow
stronger. Don't pull off or cut off any
CT the sprouts Every leaf that comes
now is worth money to a tree. Let us
make low trees from now on.
| have noticed several items ID the
papers stating that trees that had not
been cut off were doing better than those
that were cut. l cut a little over half
of my large trees, and can not tell any
difference in them, but the other day |
saw a Seeding grove where one-half had
been cut off about two months ago. The
other part has over twice as much new
growth. Possibly by the next big freeze
we will know something about growing
orange trees.
The pin or root budding, in this sec
tion, has not been a success.
In the question of diversified agricult-
ure | ana exactly on your line, and have
been for years making quantities of veg
etables, some corn and all the forage
that my stock needed, and last year
ditched and cleared up hammock land
to grow more corn and vegetables. L
cannot see why the hOmosaSsa, magnum
bonum, tangerine, ETC., oranges that are
grown by a man who grows all his sup
plies on his place are not as good and
saleable as those grown by one who makes
a specially of it. This diversitication
helps keep labOrers here the whole year,
instead of an army of them during the
packing season, that must leave as soon
as that is over. 1t had gotten to be SO
that a grower, at the price of oranges,
could hardly support his family, buy his
fertilizer and his stock feed with much
less than 1000 boxes of oranges, espe-
Cially when we take into consideration
the liability of the crop freezing on the
trees. Every year, from the great in
crease of the crop, it took more oranges
to bring the same amount of money.
There is plenty of good low lands here
to grow corn, oats, hay, potatoes and
