The Strike.

The striking stationary fremen at Will
kesbarre admitted their defeat early in
the week, their death blow being the re-
fusal of the United Mine Workers to aid
them in any way.
After a fight of two and one-half
months, the striking machinists of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
panies decided, on Saturday, to return
to work under the terms dictated by
their employers Their return was not
as a body. The strikers were told that
they must come back as individuals A
clause in the application the men must
sign upon returning contains an agree
ment to do piece work. This system is
not in favor with the men and was not
in vogue at the L9ckawanna shops be-
fore the strike. Thus, it will be seen,
the strikers go back under worse con
ditions than those existing before the
strike
1t was announced at the Office of Su-
perintendent Dudgeon, of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad, that
the strike Of the machinists employed by
the company at Buffalo had been declar
ed off, and that the strikers were apply
ing for reinstatement. Il was also an

Sun Goddess Captured.

Elizabeth Mansmann, the Sun Goddess,
recently wandered from her castle and
her subjects searched long and eagerly
for her. Her castle is the State Hospital
at Morris Plains, where she has been
confined for some years Mrs Mans
mann is the wife of Preakness farmer
and escaped on Wednesday afternoon
last. She was taken outside with num-
ber of other inmates to pick flowers; a
storm came up and in the hurry she
made her exit. She is SO years old, 5
feet tall and weighs 1870 pounds. Her
clothing is all marked with her name.
She imagines herself tie Goddess of the
Sun. 1t was her custom to rise early
each morning and greet the orb of day
as it appeared in sight over the horizon.
When it was in plain view she would
drop on her knees and mutter wierd
prayers in tongue no one ever under
stood and which she called the language
of the gods. In the evening she watched
the sun approach the hills and when it
was setting would bid it an affectionate
farewell, telling it to hasten on its way
that it might give her people joy and
light on the morrow. She was captured
in Paterson Wednesday by the police of
that city.

of them at time of enlistment being
within the ages of 1920. On arriving
at headquarters of the army at City
Point, Va, they were speedily rushed
to the front. By their conduct there
they soon acquired the name of Jerseys

"Hot" Ball Playing.

The game of base ball which was
played between the Field Club and a
team calling themselves the "Knicker-
bockers" last Saturday, reminded the
spectator more of marbles than base
ball.
If the original Knickerbocker team
had been in the field different story
would probably be written,
The entire team with the exception of
Lyons played the rankest kind of base
ball. The feature of the game was a
homerun drive over the left field fence
by OConnor in the fourth inning, with
two men out and the baaes full.
The score:
