The District Attorney of Lacka-
wanna county has completed the trial
list for the next term Of court for that
county, on which are 2S7 criminal
cases of all grades, from petit larceny
to murder. The extraordinary in
crease in crime in Lackawanna county
can be traced largely, says the Scran-
ton Times, to the class which have
focked to this country from abroad,
and which according to Governor
Hastings are filling our penitentiaries,
our jails, our hospitals and aims
houses to overhowing, necessitating
large expenditures for new buildings,
keeping our courts at work overtime,
and piling up an immense amount OF
cost to the American taxpayer.

WON IN The NINTH.
The California Markets Defeat
the Will & Fincks in an
Interesting Game.
Heesemans Defeat the q. s. Regulars.
Gilt Edges Win From the San
Francisco Athletic Club.

Napoleon" Fagin's face presented an
interesting study at yesterdays game be-
tween the California Markets and The
Will & Finck's. His hopes and disap-
pointments could be read at every stage of
the proceedings.
For the first three innings large smile
spread itself over his expansive coun-
tenanee, but this was changed to look of
sorrow when the VIII & F.nck aggrega-
lion caught on 10 Mr.. Iberg's shoots and
hammered him all over the lot for six
runs.
The look of gloom that succeeded the
smile was further increased in the fifth
inning, when Williams and Scott took
their base on singles and Muller scored
both men with pretty drive through the
right-feld fence for a circuit of the bases
and further increasing the lead.
The CALIFORNIA;, seeing how visibly
their protector and coach was affected,
took on a new lease of life and in the sixt b
managed 10 score TWO runs. whereupon a
look Of hope was seen for a moment on
that expressive face.
In the eighth inning the Markets de-
creased the lead of the Will & Flncks by
scoring three more runs.
The enthusiasm a this stage was great.
ne ianS were yelling and stamping and,
when the Will & Fincks went out in one,
two, three order, one would have thought
Bedla m had broken loose.
Fagin's aggregation took their last
chance at the bat in the ninth inning and,
fearing they might send their manager
home disappointed, determined to avert
the Calamity
Bode was first up and sent an easy one
to short and was thrown out at first.
Iberg sent a scratch hit along the third
base inc AMI gained first. Peters hit to
rightield and both came home on Mona
hans double, tying the score, and Napo-
Icons look of hope gave way to an expan-
sive grin. Murphy singled, scoring Mon
ahan and Hearty struck out. Krug ripp d
out single and Murphy scored. Cos
Hnsky ended the inning by striking out.
The viii & Fincks were unable to do
any, hing in the last inning and victory
went to the California Markets.
The following score tells the story:

outlet for its products. The natural mar
ket is III Oakland, but at present it cannot
come here because there is no road. The
success OF any city depends largely in
having large, Trt sperous area of prod
uce all around it, and Greater Oakland
needs the support Of all the contiguous
territory if the CITY is to continue to grow.
The establishment OF solid commerce
W lth Contra Costa County and with the
in terror of Alameda County will make
Oakland as independent of the Sacra-
mento River as she is now trying to be Of
San Francisco. One good road into Con-
ira Costra County is the greatest need of
to-day and possesses more significance
tnan even the establishment of a direct
steamer line with the Sacramento river.
Mr. Bryan has been in Ala media County
and it is safe 10 say there are fewer Bry-
antics here than there were a week ago.
The Nebraska man was disappointment.
OF course this county is a stronghold OF
ublicanism, but even Republicans are
intelligent enough to know good argu-
ment and liberal enough to applaud a
good sentim ant when they hear one. The
enormous crowd went to Lincoln plaza
expecting to hear some logic and willing
10 shout approva! of what appealed to
their reason. They neither heard the one
nor had reason TO applaud the other.
Since Mr.. Bryan's departure much disap-
pointment has been expressed at the vast
gultbetween the expectation and the full
fillment If the effect of his visit to every
city in the Union is the same as in Oakland
Mr. Bryan would do better by staying

PEOPLES FORUM
FOR THE WINTER
Proposed Plan for Using
the Exposition
Building.
Alice T. Stewart Favors the
Idea That Originated With
Miss Conners.
A Permanent Exhibit Would Help to
Maintain Great Public
Rendezvous.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

9OS Broadway, July Il.
Alec T. Stewart, the musical director of
the exposition, has made public scheme,
that originated with Miss MoIlie Conners
and that he claims is practical and will
prove great boon next winter. 1t is to
turn the exposition building into Peo-
ple's Palace or forum and to keep it open
all the time with superior entertainments,
debates, cheap-price concerts and other
programmes.
The idea is to conduct it after the man
ner of German concert hall on the tenn
perance plan.
Although the exposition is open a
month, every night on which there is a
special programme the large buildings
have been packed. There have be en- fre-
quent appeals TO keep il open longer, but
the directors have not been able 10
comply.
Mr. Stewart believes that to keep the
place opsn all the time will be success
full propos ltion, although he admins that
there would be no great financial bene hit
after expenses were paid.
There have been many efforts made to
esta bllsh permanent exhibit OF the
products of the county in this city. but all
have come to naught, and the Peoples
Palace idea would also comprehend this
feature. A portion of the expense would
be borne by merchants who would main
tain standing exhibits, and the sale of
privileges and a nominal admission fee on
special occasions would insure sufficient
income to guarantee expenses.
