They turn TO LONG JOHN
Scranton Directors Would Like to See
Team in Charge of HanIOn.
BUCKENBERGER WILL NOT CONE
lie Has Accepted the Terms of Der Boss"
TO Manage the St. Louis Team Billy
Barnic and Sharsig Being
Considered.

There appears to be an almost unani-
nous feeling among the directors OF the
Scranton Base Ball association to close
a bargain with Manager Hanlon, of
HaZleton. and place the control of next
seasons club in his hands.
The day after Manager Cahill died
they sent Il telegram to Hanlon telling
him to come to Scranton and talk the
matter over. His reply was that he
could not honorably desert the State
league for next season. Then the asso-
citation sent telegrams to Managers
Buckenberger, OF the Pittsburg Ma
tional league team: Billy Barnie, form
erly of Louisvilles, and Billy Sharsig,
of the old Athletics. President w. j..
Belts met all three and was inclined in
favor of Buckenberger. The latter
sent on his terms, which Were the same
as he had received from the Pittsburg
directors, and last Monday night the
Scranton association met and agreed to
engage him. He stipulated that he
should have full control of the team,
and as soon as majority of the di-
rectors grew tired of him he would be
ready and willing to resign.
May be Hanlon Yet.
Tuesday afternoon, however, Bucken-
berger sent telegram acquainting the
association that he grew tired of wait
ing to hear from them and had just
closed q contract with President Won
Der Abe, of st. Louis. \ meeting was
to have been held last night if a favor
able reply had been received from
Buckenberger, but in the light of these
facts no meeting was held. The asso-
citation is now waiting TO hear froth
Sharsig and Barnie, but after all it is
believed that Manager Hanlon will be
the next manager. A meeting of the
State league magnates will be held on
Tuesday, Jan 49, which will decide the
future of the State league. If the pros
poets are not bright, it is the opinion
that Hanlon will make up his mind to
come to Scranton. His terms are salts
factory and President Powers is back
ing him.
The Scranton association proposes to
give the manager full swing this year
and he will have absolute control over
the club. Another matter upon which
they have harmonized, which is that
they do not want Tim Hurst at any
price. A manager will be engaged in
less than week, as the time Is growing
short to give man chance to get to-
gether a winning team, without which
the association can expect but little
patronage at the hands of the Scranton
public.

COOKING IN AFRICA.

Problem of Great Interest In Pioneer
Camp.
In African encampments the ques-
ton of food is burning one. How to
obtain provisions, how to cook them
when procured-these are problems
of absorbing interest in a pioneer
camp. The authors of Adventures in
Mashonaland" say that it is curious
and interesting to watch the process of
victualing a new country. The trader
throws the most eccentric provisions
on the market At one time, the author
says, nothing but timed lobster could
be purchased at their settlement; and
at another time the whole of Manica
breakfasted, dined and supped on foie-
gras.
Our cooking utensils consisted of
three-legged pot and a frying-pan.
How were we to create dinner? We
boiled the ox-hesh in the three-legged
pot, whence it issued in the condition
of shoe-leather. Mixing the meal with
water, we made the most horribly half
cooked fat cakes by heating the dough-
on hot stones There was neither bak-
ing powder nor yeast in the country.
One day we received present of
venison, shot by Mr.. Teal Now
had from time to time saved up a
small quantity of sardine oil. believing
myself to be famous housekeeper. In
a moment of vain self confidence
undertook the dinner that night, and
we invited Mr.. Champion to come and
eat venison steaks
fried those steaks In my sardine oil
and served them proudly. They posi-
lively looked like real steaks, such as
people would eat at home. But alas
scarcely had two mouthfuls been
eaten when everyone fled from the
table, and my wonderful dinner was
abandoned to the little native who
waited on us He certainly enjoyed it
immensely, so even that i'll wind blew
somebody good; but it was unanimously
decided that henceforth l was never te

consequence"
There was soft grating sound as
though boat had just touched in shoal
water. The jackal spun round quick
ly and faced Gt is always best to face)
It was twenty-four foot crocodile,
cased In what looked like treble-riveted
boiler plate, studded and keeled and
crested; the yellow points of his upper
teeth just overhanging his beautifully
futed lower jaw. It was the blunt
nosed mugger of Mugger-Ghaut, older
than any man in the village, who had
given his name to the village: the
demon Of the ford before the railway
bridge came-murderer, man-eater and
local fetish in one He lay with his
chin in the shadows, keeping his place
by an almost invisible rippling of his
tail, and well the jackal knew that one
stroke of that same tail In the water
could carry the mugger up the bank
with the rush Of steam engine
"Auspiciously met, Protector of the
Poor" he fawned, backing at every
word "a delectable voice was heard,
and we came In the hopes of sweet con-
versation- My tailless presumption,
while waiting here, led me, indeed, to
speak of thee. tits my hope that moth
ing was overheard"
Now, the jacknl had spoken just to
be listened to, for he knew flattery was
the best way Of getting things to eat,
and the muggcr knew that the jackal
had spoken for this end, and the jackal
knew that the mugger knew, and the
mugger knew that the jackal knew
that the, mugger knew, and so they
were all very contented together.
The old brute pushed and painted
and grunted up the bank, mumbling:
Respect tie aged and in7rn!" and oil the
time his little eyes burned like Goals
under the heavy horny eyelids on the
top of his triangular head, as he showed
his bloated barrel body along between
his crutched legs. Then he settled
down, and. accustomed as the tackal
was to his ways, he could not help.

Nothing could be seen on the broad
