61-L4s1L

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The Island of Lewes
has been the scene of serious religious
riots, arising from the union of the Free
and the United Churches of Scotland. The
islanders refused to countenance the all1-
ance and when the Minister at Ness
joined the United Church they locked MN
out of his church strong force of po-
lice was sent over from the mainland to
open the doors. whereupon the islanders
congregated and throwing volleys OF
stones at the constables, drove them in
side the building and bombarded them
with rocks until they capitulated and
agreed to leave the island. Every member
of the police detachment was more or less
seriously wounded.
1t is probable that a detachment OF
troops will be sent to subdue the rioters,

A CLEANLY AGE.

Twentieth Century Ideas Incline
Toward Sanitation and Preventives.
Nowadays scientists believe that in
cleanliness lies the secret of prevention
of diseases.
To prevent disease, remove the cause.
Just as unclean habits breed many dis
eases, so careless habits will breed dan
druff. Improper use of another's brushes,
combs, etc, will surely cause dandruff
and in time will just as surely cause bald
ness.
It's microbic infection, nothing more nor

LOCAL CARRIERS won,
Interesting Ball Game That Was Not
Finally Decided Until Ban
uuet Had interviewed

The annual ball game between the
Scranton and Pittston letter carriers
teams took place yesterday at Athletic
park, and as their wont the PIttston
lads won. hands down.
The method though. by which they
accomplished their victory can only be
httingly characterized as a dirty Pitts
ton trick. No agreement had been
made as to the details of the playing
and. taking advantage of this, the
Pittston pitcherall throughout the game
pitched at the top of his speed and
made it well-nigh impossible for the
Scranton batsmen to make a hit The
Scranton pitcher upon realizing the
base tactics the opposition was resort
ing to. thought to pay them back in
kind. but here again the duplicity Of
the Pittstonftes was apparent. Their
batsmen. all unbcknOwn to the Scrau-
toners, had practiced hitting at speedy
balls. and the efforts of the Scranton
pitcher went for naught.
The home team was also handicapped
by the presence of its captain. Right
Fielder Schautz. II was thought to
pull off the game without letting him
in. but he got wind of it, was on deck
and insisted OH playing. The team
wanted him to retire at the end of the
second inning. but the Pittston players
refused to continue unless he was kept
in the game, and in consequence, he
stayed
The game was not begun until nearly
: o'clock, owing to the fact that an
other game was on at 3 o'clock, and as
Il result. only five innings could be
played The score was 14-I. in favor
of Pittston. Later in the night, how
ever. it was changed to 90 in favor of
Scranton.
The Scranton team protested the
game because of the unfair advantages
the Pttston lads had taken. and. after
the visitors had been banquetted at the
St Cloud they agreed to allow the pro-
test and have the game credited to
Scranton.
