BASEBALL MATTERS.


WASHINGTON, March 16.-Represen-
tatives of the minor baseball leagues
met in Washington to consider mat
ters in connection with the base
ball season. There are several
differences bet ween the national
and minor leagues to come up
for action, the principal being the pro-
vision for drafting promising players
from minor leagues tostrengthen weak
national clubs. Mr.. John b. Day, who
represents the National league in the
meeting, thinks there will be no trouble
in harmonizing apparent conflicts and
smoothing out the rough places.

those of US who were there in 1882 1t
brings back memories of copperhead
snakes, mullen stocks, and outrageous
prices for everything that the boys were
compelled to purchase, but we are as
sured that the location Of the Camp
has been changed to a much more
beautiful spot, being to the right of the
Pennsylvania railroad, (going wesD and
stretching out to the banks of the
Juniata river, affording us an elegant
drill ground. and last but not least ex-
cellent bathing facilities. We learn al
SO that the patriotic co citizens are con-
tented to charge regular and reasonable
prices. If all this be true, then we will
have the most delightful encampment
we have had in years."

PLATT Goes FOR M'KINLEY
Says He Would Not Be Safe Man
to Elect.
SOUND MONEY NAN WANTED
The New York Leader Says That the
ohio Man Has No Settled Opinions In
Regard to the Money Question and
Accuses Him Of Shiliy -Shallying.

New York. May 13-Ex-Senator
Thomas G. Platt gave out a statement
tonight in which he says:
The Mckinley managers have un-
dertaken to break the force of my
charge that his financial record shows
that he is an unsafe leader for the Re-
publican party at this time, by printing
extracts from his recent speeches.
These extracts consist of lot of gener-
al phrases about the necessity of hav-
ing a currency 'as good as the best of
our keeping all our dollars equal in
value and all that sort of thing. But
the Mckinley managers are away from
the point. The point is not that Nc
kinley has made no remarks and cast
no votes that tend to the maintenance
of good money, but that he has made
all sorts of remarks and cast all sorts of
votes, and, in a word that he has acted
In every situation not from settled
principles and convictions, but in ac-
cordance with what he considered at
the time to he popular.
THE Republican delegates therefore
have an incompatible opportunity. 1t
is their supreme duty to nominate a
man whose developed character and
achieved record indicate that with his
leadership Republican policies will Sc
cure the longest application. They
should find their candidate who will
take office with the confidence Of the
country and not with its apprehension
and distrust; who is known to be a free
agent and not mortgaged up to his eyes
with pledges than can never be per-
formed and expectations that can never
be satisfied, who Is safe and not erratic
conservative and not impulse. firm and
not impressionable. If these general
principles are agreed to, they render the
selection OF Major Mckinley impossible.

with the picnic grove, pavilions, boat

the premises.
The improvements which are con-
templated and of which some are al
ready under way, are of the most prac-
teal and extensive character. Long
and substantial piers will be erected at
points convenient for both excursion
lists and cottagers.
The hotels will be entirely renovated
and the entire lake equipment, includ-
ing boats, barges, and the lake steam

PROGRESSIVE SCRANTON.
Many New Structures About tO Be
Erected in This City.

Many changes are taking place In the
real estate world. Among the new
buildings to be erected will be a ten
story structure on Linden street ad-
joining the Board of Trade. This Will
be built by a syndicate.
1t Is stated that a wealthy Carbon
dale capitalist is looking at Scranton
building lots with a view to erecting
several apartment houses.
The Carter building on the Center
lots will be commenced June l. 1t will
be at least eight stories and will be
fireproof. 1t will probably be extended
back to the end of the lot where the
Center residence now stands. Among
those who will occupy this structure Is
Mr.. ]. Frank Siegel with his dancing
academy.
Messrs. c. p. Matthews and Walter
Matthews will build homes on Monroe
avenue in the near future, the probable
cost of which will be $4,000 each.
A new home on Monsey avenue,
Green Ridge, has just been purchased
by Collins, the tailor.
Among recent investments of note Is
the purchase of stock in the Lackawan-
ma Lumber company to the amount of
$4,000 by Messrs. Simpson & Watkins.
1t Is rumOred that Dr. Gates has re-
ceived an offer of $40 900 for his Linden
street property, near the Board Of
Trade building.
A transfer of the Dimler-W Wahl prop
erty on Adams avenue has been made,
a large sum being the consideration.

HOW COUNCIL WORKS.
Il Seems to Be Very Prosy Body. to a
Woman.

The editors of this paper are extreme
ly sorry that May IA was selected for
the date of the issue. They wanted a
bona fide report of a council meeting or
some such important event taken from
their own standpoint, but today is
Thursday, and last night was prayer
meeting night throughout the length
and breadth of this city. Councils
never meet on prayer meeting night.
Nothing ever happens on that evening,
for people in general attend strictly to
their religion. Consequently no report
of councils can be given.
The women, however, may be as
sured that probably nobody except
those who had a paving ordinance, a
bill to be paid, or a scheme to work to
beat the city, which they desired to get
through. will miss the report.
1t may also be confidently stated that
II the women who have husbands in the
council and are jealous of the time
spent therein, could realize how fear
fully stupid the average council meeting
is they would object no more. Judging
from the early part of the Tuesday
night session of select council. 1t Is no
wonder that some members are driven
to drink. Secretary Lavelle reads
lot of minutes and recommendations
that nobody but Mr.. Chittenden seems
to bother to hear, President Sander
son rocks in his easy chair, has a bored
look on his handsome face and puts
the motion. Everybody who bothers
to vote at all says AYE" with charming
unanimity and then no doubt at the
next meeting, when the secretary reads
the minutes they call him another and
declare they never voted on such "a
matter and never even heard of it.
Mr.. Finn seemed to be the most wide
awake member present as he hustled
around I'm a gray spring suit. although
Mr.. Lansing conscientiously tried TO
look interested.
There We're great many policemen
In the gallery. They have not yet
donned the brass buttons and shield
hut they bear other Indications of their
expected dignity.
Messrs. Robert Reeves and John Fitz-
simmons were present, and on the excel
lent authority Of councilman, the
Woman's Paper Is prepared to state
that these two gentlemen will be on the
new force.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
The Report Relating to Baptism Creates
90" aLiyeIy Debate.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 13.-In the
Methodist general conference today
several changes in tn discipline, rec
commended hy the bishops We're report
ed by the committee on revisals.
The first two sections of the report
were adopted.
A warm fight occurred over the adop-
tion Of the third section of the report
relating to infant baptism. At the
close of the debate the section was re-
committed.
The committee on episcopacy did not
report in accordance with the instruc-
tions 1t had received. Dr. Buckley
stated that the committee as yet had
been unable to agree upon the number
Of bishops 1t would recommend to be
created, but that 1t would be ready to
report to the conference the first thing
tomorrow morning, after the reading of
the journal. The time for the COM
mittee to report was extended to that
hour.
Though the committee was unable
to report, this much Is known Of the
deliberations at the meeting:
The members agreed to recommend
the retirement of Bishop Thomas Bow
man, Bishop r. S. Foster. and Mission
ary Bishop William Taylor. of Africa,
on account of their feebleness and in
ability to perform the arduous duties Of
their positions. by reason of advanced
age. This action will necessitate the
election of two regular bishops, and one
missionary bishop.
A proposition to change the date Of
meeting of the general conference from
the first of May to the first Wednesday
in May brought out a sharp debate in
the conference. The resolution provid-
ed for the calling Of the extra sessions
of the conference upon the call of a
sufficient number and had been passed
upon by the annual conferences. which
had adopted it by the necessary three
fOurths vote. DIR. Leonard objected to
treating the matter as a. constitutional
question. claiming that the general con-
ference has the power to fix its own
time of meeting. Sargent of Indians,
and Neely and Swindell, OF Philadel-
phia, and several others took the oppo-
site ground and on being put to a vote,
the changes We're carried in the cOnsti-
tutional way by vote Of 397 to 10.

HE DID THE HOUSEKEEPING.
And His Wife Went Out TO Work for
Strangers.

Baltimore. May lS-HOw the new
woman and the new get along to-
ge;her Ia practical life was illustrated
IN a case before Police Justice Grannon
today Mrs. Ida Kuhn, a good looking
woman. had her husband arrested on
charge of abusing her. Mrs. Kuhn,
who is a coliarmaher. testified that she
had supported herself and her family
for fourteen years. The husband said
that while his wife worked at the fac
tory he attended to the children dressed
and sent them to school and performed
the other household duties.
All he wanted was little spending
money ON Saturday night. and 1t was
the argument about this that led to
his arrest Mrs. Kuhn said she could
get girl to do the work her husband
did for ST. % week and she would not
have to stand any impertinence.
Justice BrannOn fined Kuhn 81 and
costs and his wife would not pay up.
He had to go to Jail in default.

All teachers In the city are invited to
attend and acquaint themselves with

A mammoth excursion Of school chill

sibilities, and 1t is earnestly hoped that
every teacher and every citizen will
agree to lend their assistance and make
it grand success. New York, Phila-

the public have added thousands of dol

not slow to encourage philanthropy aid
