the Worst Defeat OF the Scnson-wc
Play an Erroriess Game and Make Hits
too Numerous TO Mention.

Manager Barnie. of the Scranton
club. left the city yesterday morning
on still hunt for 4 player or two who
can play winning ball. In his absence
an overwhelming defeat was admins
tered 20 Wilkes-Barre--a defeat greater
than has been thrust upon any National
or Eastern league club this season.
The Scrantons not only made twenty
runs against the Alligators' nine goose
eggs. but they played an errorless game
and made two and one-half hits TO
Wilkes-Barre's one. During no inning
did more than four Of Shannon's gem
eral utility players face the pitcher.
and in two ina!ngs only three were al
lowed TO gasp FOR breath.
Il was the. first game won from
Wilkes-Barre out Of five played. Only
500 persons risked the hot and dusty
ride to the Base Ball park. or. rather.
risked the possibility OF seeing the home
team fan the air or fail over itself in a
ludicrous endeavor 70 halt Wilkes
Barre in its blind rush toward the front.
But the details Of the game did not
show any such friehtful contingency.

Quarles Had a Dream.

Quarles had a strange dream Sunday
night 1t was to the effect that the
Scranton club was climbing 4 green
hill and when half way to the summit
the Wilkes-Barre players. weary and
footsore. Were met coming down.
Quarles is very superstitious. and the
dream affected him 70 such an extent
that he couldn't possibly have con-
tributed toward a defeat yesterday.
Visions Of the upward climb were be-
fore his eyes and he allowed only two
scattered hits 20 be made of him Up to
the fifth chapter. during which time his
only gifts Of first on balls were given
twice to Belts who wore a hoodoo elas-
tic bandage on his right leg.
Mr.. Meekin was wild as March hare
and showed such disposition to send
the ball toward Hyde Park and Sander
son Hill that he was replaced by the
cunning little keenan,. The ladies'
thought he was too sweet for anything.
and so did Barnie's men, although 70
them Meekin was a more toOthgorne
morsel. Meekin was almost deyoured
IN the third inning, when eight tallles
were scored, and a disposition was
shown TO do likewise with Keenan, in
the eighth. but the Scranton appetite
was satisfied.
Scranton scored four In the first.
Ward went to first by being hit with
the first ball pitched and Radford was
given four wide ones. Sweeney struck
out and Stearns filled the bases on
four balls. Clark few out to Belts and
Ward beat the throw-in. RadfOrd and
Stearns scored on Brady's hit, and
Brady came in on Johnson's double.
Rogers grounded out to Earle.

Disastrous Third Inning.

In the third, twelve batsmen faced
Meekin, and eight runs, two Of which
were earned, were secured off singles
by. Clark, Johnson. Quarles and Ward;
bases on balls to Rogers, Radford and
Stearns; errors by Earle and McMahon
and Brady's tw0bagger.
Meekin was wild in the fourth, and
sent Radford, Sweeney and Stearns in
succession to first on balls. The three
runs were unearned.
A poor throw by Smith, Sweeney's
single, base on balls to Stearns,
Clark's three-bagger and Brady's single
scored the four runs, one earned, in the
sixth. An .unearned run was made in
the eighth.a Score:

Crows In Q Battle.

A daily spectacle at Ridgewood,
N. j., Is the passing Of hundreds oi
crows over town. They come from
the south In the early morning on
the way to their feeding grounds and
return Just ut sunset to their regular
roosting place. The other evening
tho crows were flying lazily along
until suddenly 1t appeared that some
enemy must have como among them,
for what looked like tiercO battle
began.
Instantly scores Of birds that were
we'll away from the center Of dis.
turbance turned about and were SOON
lost In the whirl OF the supposed
combatants. Some OF the crows
would drop nearly to tho earth, as II
disabled, and then soar and apparent
ly rest high In the air preparatory to
u renewal OF the excitement.
After n time 1t appeared as II many
concluded discretion to be more
praiseworthy than valor, or that the
game was not worth the candle, ahd
they left tho scene In groups OF ten
or moro and continued on thelr
homeward way.
The battle, II such It was. was q
terrific one. Nearly every crow that
passed the tussling ones returned FOL
few moments to watch tho fray,
but In hundreds OF instances did not
engage In 1t. but made detour and
scared away.

Death From Electricity.

Here are some odd opinions con.
cerning the force OF the electric cur
rent, given by DR.. G. +. Chandler be.
fore the Columbian School OF Mines !;
"A very interesting misapprehension
which exists In the minds OF many
people Is one concerning TIE vital
dangers which lurk in the pressure
OF, say, 1000 volts. The newspapers
often tell OF q man who has been
killed from such a pressure, whereas,
in fact, such a pressure alone could
not kill humming bird. ! have
frequently caught in my hand sparks
possessing an electro motive power
OF 100, 600 volts without feeling any
thing more than very slight burn.
The danger arises only when the volts
are re-enforced by good many am.
pheres or currents. In such a case
the force OF the current suddenly de-
composes all the fluids in the body.
The salt In the blood instantly turns
to chlorine gas, and the person who
has his veins charged with such o
deadly poison cannot be expected to
live many seconds"

should q negative attitude toward
the current religious teachings be .
Nindrance.
Those who aspire to become good
men should be welcomed to che new
fellowship, no matter what their
opinions might be on questions Of
theology or philosophy, Prof. Adler
stated at that time. All that was
expected was q sincere interest In
the moral improvement OF the indi.
vidual and OF society, and willing
ness to waive points Of difference
and to come into fundamental agree.
ment with others animated by the
same desire.
These views had been known by Q
number OF Prof. Adler's friends for
some years prior to the organization
Of the society. Prof. Adler was ut
that time professor OF Oriental lit.
erature at the Cornell university,
and when a number OF friends Of the
cause Of ethical culture were pre-.
pared to form a society he resigned
from the faculty OF the university
and entered the field In which he had
long been desirous to labor. It was
q labor OF love for him from the be.
ginning and still Is such.
At first the new society was the
target for much hostile criticism and
even bitter persecution. Like all
new movements 1t required time to
be correctly appreciated, and In the
beginning It wns mislnterpreted.
Tho fact that the Ethical society
did not affirm any religious belief was
regarded % positive proof that It's
members and its leaders were at heart
hostile to religion. But this war o
mistake, and as time went on II was
perceived to be such. The prejudice
which the society ut first excited has
abated from year to year.
Some Of those who were It's most
pronounced antagonists have become
Its we'll wishers aud supporters. The
change Of attitude against the So
clety IL shown by the fact that the
legislature Of the State OF New York
has conferred upon Prof. Adler Legal
authority to perform the marriage

Prussia has an income tax Which

Prussia has an income tax Which
last year yielded 500, ,Ol3, ,OS4, and
some facts regarding its operations
as reported to the state department
by United States Consul Morris ut
Ghent, Belgium, are OF interest TO
people In the United States. The
startling fact in this report Is the re.
narkable number Of persons who
escaped the tax altogether, although
in Prussia every citizen must pay
who has anything above the small
income OF $2l4. which would include
the great body Of American workmen.
According to the rolls prepared in
view Of the tax. the number of indi.
viduals was 30, 3S7, ,3}l, and Of this
number 81. 233, 02i persons arc ex.
empted because their income was
less thun S2l4, or because they were
foreigners. So the tax was paid by
2.520, 930 taxpayers illegal persons),
ofwhom 1922 were societies or cor.
porations, the latter paying 81 ,S45,.
2I2. In the cities each taxpayer
paid for BIS persons. while In the
country he represented APO individ.
uals. The average income in Prus-
sia Of persons above the minimum OF
$2l4 was $63i.O in cities and 1922. 81
in the country, tho general average
being $746.56. OF the total tax the
cities paid s27. 1876. 81 and the coun.
try $1.1O2,O07. The amount Of tax
Of each taxpayer averaged 2.l5 pei

THE trouble between the United
states and Germany over tho latter's
exclusion OF American cattle, says n
Washington dispatch, has assumed
more pacific aspect OF late, and
officials are hopeful that the subject
may be adjusted without further
friction. The German authorities
have urged, with, apparent sincerity,
that they had no purpose to retnliate
against the United states because OF
the tariff differcntial duty placed on
German sugars. 1t hns been pointed
out that Germany took similar action
against her near neighbor Austria

are members Of the triple alliance, II
is urged that her course Is shown ia

caution and not through political re
taliation. The German authoritie,
also take the position that they viii
at once end the exclusion OF Ameri
can cattle when II Is established thu,

In their investigations on the subjec
they have become satisfied that the
methods Of government inspection
in this country are very rigid ant
effective, and they do not doubt tina
they will lead to such perfect health

The movement Of ethical culture
now so prominent in all sections Of
the United States and portions of
Europe had its origin in New York
city, where the first ethical society
was founded in 1876. The attitude
OF the New York society has been
from the first neither irreligious nor
anti.rellgious.
In the opening address which
Prof. Felix Adler delivered on May
Is. 1876, the watchword which he
suggested for the new movement was

In those remarks that belief In any ol

A BOTTOMLESS PIT.
An Investigation Reveals the Utter
Unreliability of Popular De-
fusion in Hartford County.

\ dispatch to the SIM last week,
dated Beair, Md, says: The Deep
Hole which forms part of the stream
known As Deer creek, in Hartford cOun-
ty, Md, does not deserve 10 be distin-
guished 10y that title any longor.
Ever since the county was settled il
was firmly believed by the inhabitants
To be boltomless. The farmers had
often net there, and, tying their plow-
lines together, let down a tweuty-eight-
pound weight INTO the water, but could
find no bottom. Probably there was
an undercurreut which was strong
enough to carry the weight along with
it.
At that time the hole contained a
hirlpuol about four feet IN diameter,
with a depression of two or three feet.
Fence rails, branches of trees, etc,
when thrown into the whirlpool disap-
peared, nor was it ever observed that
they came up at any other point,
though there is a place ii short distance
down the creek where the water
appears to bubble up from underneath.
Many OF the neghborhood who could

young, determined 10 find the bottom,

After ride of some four miles We
arrived at the tract of land on which

which, after great eNertiou. for the
