BASEBALL NOTES.
Gossip About the Players, Managers,
md Clubs.

The Philadelphia club Is taking its
hopes that its friends cherished when it
seemed invincible, have given place to sad
and painful memories. The escapade Of
Lajoie in the club house, in which he put
himself. as well as Flick, out of the game
indefinitely, is largely responsible Tor the
Quakers present slump. 1t was these
same men who put the team out of The
running last season. AS great player as
Lajoie is, when in condition and in good
temper, he has proved very expensive
luxury. and 1T is matter of surprise
that the owners of the club will longer
tolerate him. The present Quaker City
team gave every assurance of its ability
to win the championship. There never
was an aggregation that possessed more of
the substantial elements of strength Had
they been stronger in the pitche ~ box
they would have been invincible< With
the advantage they have had they have
lost their opportunity through the out
rageous behavior OF Lajoie. 1t is not too
late for the team to recover tie lost
ground, but under the decentralization row
existing they will do well to end in third
or fourth place.
The fans of St. Louis have lost hope in
the ability of Tebeau to bring his team
around into pennant winning form and are
loud in expressions of their displeasure.
The team looks formidable on paper.
Among its players are some stars, and
under an even break of good luck they
should be up among the leaders. Yet its
exhibitions have been not only disappoint-
ing but surprise to the knowing ones
who believed they would make a close
fight for the pennant. Tebeau attributes
the teams showing to injuries to payers
that could not have hsen guarded against,
and says they have not yet played me
in which all the regular team participated
The question now is. viii he be able to
rally them from their present demoraliza-
ton in time to recover the ground lost?
There is big margin between the Cardi-
mails and the leaders. which will require
hard and skillful work, backed by good
luck. 10 nYercnme-

A Keen Disappointment.

Contrary to expectations, the Upper
LshiEh Coal Company did not pay its
employees on Saturday. 1t was the only
coal corporation or firm In the Lshigh
region which withheld from 1t. workers
their November earnings, and the action
was openly denounced by the men in
severe terms through the mines and on
the streets. The Upper Lehigh men e1-
pectsd TO receive at least as fair treat
ment as those employed in neigh boring
mines, and their disappointment In
being compelled to postpone their Christ
mas shopping another week, or buy
their holiday goods in tho Upper
Lehigh company store, was a. hard a
blow as has been given them in num-
ber Of years
What reason the company had in not
paying as soon as those firm. which
have larger and moro complicated pay
rolls Is not known. 1t Is certain, how
ever, that the action of the officials in
depriying the workers of their earnings
at this season of the year is not calcu-
lated to bring about the good feeling
which should exist between employer
and employe.

VAIN SEARCH.
Money and valuables Have Been Found
Years Ago by Others.

Money and valuablss Have Been Found
Years Ago by Others.
John Browning went back to Colorado
On Saturday disappointed man. He
came East to recover treasure, only to
learn that it had been found years ago.
Browning was a nephew of Frank Ham
ilton, who died in Colorado about 4
month ago. On his death bed Hamilton
confidsd to his nephew the secret place
OF treasure consisting Of jewelry to the
value of $4,000, 81, 900 in money and fvs
barrels OF whiskey all hidden In q mine
at Pittston.
Hamilton gave his nephew = tracing
OF the slope and the chamber in which
tho treasure was placed after it had
been stolen from merchants in Pittston.
Browning reached Pittston last week.
He made diligent search of the mine,
but could find no trace of the money or
ether valuables. On Friday he found
out for the first time that the treasure
had boon recovered.
man named Owen, under oath, said
ne had helped to spend the money,
amounting to several hundred dollars.
Years ago he worked in No. 6 mine At
Plttston. One day his laborer while re-
moving pile of rubbish struck his
pick against a wooden box, which, on
opening, he found to contain a lot Of
money In gold and silver.
The secret of the find was guarded so
we'll that only the men in the next chi am
Der were informed. The next night they
made an excuse OF working over time
and continued tho search among the
rubbish. The whiskey and jewelry wore
uncovered. The treasure was gotten to
the surface and in time the vhiskey
and jewelry was sold or used up in some
way.

SIMPLICITY IN MUSIC.

Because the music of the great COM
posers pals upon an audience that rep
resents the community in all it's phases
and shades of character, it is not full
Justice to say that it is lack of educa-
ton that explains lack of appreciation.
Sometimes there is an accounting for
tastes
That raconteur who can tell a story
easily, gracefully and with a pleasing
color, withal bringing out the pith, point
and moral that adorns the tale, is the
most popular storyteller. He has
most fascinating way, one that is US
ually denominated smooth, and when
follower strikes into that path he glides
on to the end without deviation and
without sense of effort. The creator of
subtleties and intricacies cannot expect
the attention or demand the same adj
miration because he asks his hearers to
work for their emotions instead of pre-
senting them ready-nade. Rebellion
is inevitable.
Music with all it's divinity of melody
and harmony cannot expect to be ex-
empted from the same human mental
law. A melody that delights the ear or
stirs gentle sympathy suffices the aver
age musical sense. The simple songs
are the songs OF the heart, that have
deep feeling in them, and humorous
songs serve to bring out the ripples of
laughter.
Classics aim at the ideals. They seek
to rouse the sublime passions, and while
this fact is perfectly well understood, it
is nevertheless repugnant to the ordi-
nary spirit and always leaves the inn
preston of a straining for effect. They
are voted tiresome in consequence. In
stead of dwelling with miraculous
angels in dreamy clouds of reverie, with
exalted passions, themes and philosophy,
people prefer, with a LONELINESS that
compels admiration, to live close to the
soil. So plain rythm and smooth, quick
movement keeps its hold strong on the
public; simplicity conquers high notes.
This was never better exemplified than
at the Auditorium concerts this week.
