Mrs. Frances L. Hackley. whose por-
trait appears above, Is making a rec
ord of which any woman may be proud.
1t Is seldom that one past middle life,
amid new interests where most of the
years of maturity have been spent,
brings back to the old home Of child
hood the blessing of her wealth to as
sist the struggling and encourage
those who labor for the higher good Of
humanity.
To the development of the youth OF
our city Mrs. Hackley's efforts have
thus far been directed, and already the
excellent results are widely known.
In tender remembrance Of the fair
little daughter who came to the lonely
home after eighteen years of married
life, only to lend her sweet presence
for six brief beautiful years, the still
sorrowing and doubly bereft mother
now brings brightness and comfort to
many little forlorn lives and wretched
surroundings.
Much of Mrs. Hackley's attention is
devoted to educational causes. Her
beneficences to many objects are mu-
niftcent in the extreme. One of her
gifts made within the past few days,
Is the sum Of ten thousand dollars
toward the new building for Barnard
college.
The following sketch regarding some
of her kindness to this city Is by the
wife of the Secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
1t was just one year ago that a lady
became known to many OF the citizens
of Scranton by her generous gift to the
Young Mems Christian Association.
With thirty thousand dollars she en-
dowed the manual training department
Of that institution and desired 1t to be
called the John Raymond Institute, in
memory of her father.
She gave an additional sum of five
thousand dollars with which the fourth
floor of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation building could be fttingly
prepared and equipped for such work.
1t was also Mrs. Hacllley's desire that
the classes should be open to women
as we'll as to men. Twenty mine young
women took advantage of the opportun-
ity thus offered-thc teachers of the
kindergarten schools of the city being
among that number.
Those who We're present at the first
annual closing exercises of the John
Raymond Institute on the evening of
the 23rd Of April; or visited the exhibit
Of the work done during the year,
which was displayed in the reception
hall or the association, could not fail to
be impressed by the quality Of the work
from all the classes.
The endowment has given many the
assistance they would never otherwise
been able to get.
And though Mrs. Hackley will never
know in this world how many lives she
has helped In preparing for the position
God meant them to fill, yet we hope she
may for many years watch the pro-
gress of this work she has started and
that her heart may be gladdened as she
sees some Of the lives Of the men and
women she has thus frightened

OUR Brothers VICTORIOUS
The Girl Reporter Witnesses the
Base Ball Game.
1T MAS NOT A POLITE AFFAIR.
Young Men Actually Tried to Steal Eases.
The Players We're Mostly Fat-The
Umpire Gets Himself Disiiked.
Tho Scoro Was to?.

Eighteen young rnen in unbecomins
blouses and knlckerbockers strained
their backs in trying to hit small ana
unofferding ball with a club or catch
the same yesterday afternoon.
Nine of them were hired to wear the
name Scranton" upon their manly
bosoms and the other nine were paid To
perform like duty for Providence.
One moUstacheless. hoarse and much
abused young Tca stood near the batter
and every few seconds yelled DOW.
wowli" o. stree -yike!" in the regula-
ton railroad brakeman style. The nine
men with Scranton" on their chests
did not like his voice and they said 50
frequently and decidedly.
The nine gentlemen from Providence
also took exception to the way he said
things.
1t could not have been a very polite
game. for l heard people around me
talking of certain players trying to
steal bases. while certain others of the
hired men We're said to have died at
different points on the field. When |
spoke to a red-faced and fatherly old
gentlemen who jumped up and down,
and yelled all through the game. con-
cerning these things, he only said:
"Th'! tn! tn! Dear! dear! dear!" He

ing his seat and going to the other end
or the grand stand.
The men who play base ball seem to
be selected chiefly because they are fat.
l could see some reason in this. as they
all have such disposition to grovel on
the ground and roll over and over from
one corner Of the patch to the other
that a thin man would disarrange the
earth too much
Considerable emotion was displayed
yesterday afternoon because a certain
man by the name of Chiles had depart
ed without saying goodbye. He seemed
to be great pet of the association and
everybody was depressed. l did not
hear what his speciality was in the
club.
There seemed to be nine games-in-
nings they called them.
l left when the agony was young and
when the men with Scranton on their
shirts were most abusing the little ball
and the moustachless umpire.
A young man connected with the
press told me he would send me a
pattern Of the game ii l would leave
early. Here it is:

AS SHE SEES IT.

The game Of politics is played almost
exclusively by men in Scranton. The
several women who have entered the
arena have done so upon the invitation
of some considerate and considering
man. The municipal departments pre-
sent opportunities for the employment
Of women at profit to themselves and
to the city.
We have not been able to show this
matter to the officials as yet, In light
sufficiently strong. probably because we
have not really tried.
The men, however. who fill these sew
eral posts have troubles OF their own.

CONVERSATIONS OF CALAMITY.
Why Papa Walks the Floor With the
Baby,

The Girl Reporter has had a very
pleasant interview with Mrs. 500 Hoo
Doc and her daughter Miss Jennie. 1t
resulted in disclosing the fact that the
young lady now seven months old is
not only very pretty baby but that she
Is blessed with unbound feet, and will
be as able to pedal bicycle or float
gracefully along the streets. in due
time, as any other American maiden.
Mrs. 500 Hoo boo, however. finds her
OWN personal advantages still in the
small Chinese feet that are her own
portion, for when Miss Jennie cries at
night it is her papa who has to walk
the floor with her. We are really al
most afraid to take the American wo-
man into confidence as to this matter.

Harvey Borrowed The Gold.

Special to the Republic.
Washington, Sept. 25,-Mr. W. H..
Harvey, author Of "Coin's Financial
School, recently drew from one of
the Chicago banks $500 in gold,
demanding that the check that he
presented should be paid in gold coin.
This fact was widely published at the
time, and it was alleged that Mr..
Harvey drew the coin for the purpose
of hiding it in safe deposit, fearing
that free coinage would drive gold out
of circulation. Ia a letter written to
Mr.. L. G. Beard. of Hagerstown, Nd.
Mr.. Harvey thus explains the transac.

Il was about to make several
speeches on silver. and went to the
bank where | have a much larger
deposit than the 800 in gold that |
required, and was told that they
were not paying gold on checks. l told
