WON OUT IN THE NINTH.

The Normal School base ball
season was ushered in Saturday after
noon with a game with Bucknell co..
lege's formidable aggregation. The
uncertainties of the national game is
what makes it SO popular, and this
was fully demonstrated on Saturday.
BY clean fielding and good batting in
the opening innings of the contest the
visitors secured what was thought to
be winning lead. They maintained
1t up until the eighth when Normal
evened up matters. In the first hall
of the ninth Bucknell added point
to their tally, and it looked as though
it would be sufficient to win. Some
one in the crowd remarked that
Normal's garrison finish was about
due, and it was. The visiting twirler
took an ariel journey, sending
Stephenson to first on balls. Hays
sacrificed as did also Aldinger, and
the bases were full and no body out.
The remainder of the story is told in
very few words. Newton, who has
the reputation of hitting when hits
are needed, stepped to the rubber and
smashed the first one pitched for two
sacks, bringing In two runs. 1t was
an abrupt ending, but just to the lik-
ing Of the large crowd, and every
body with the exception OF the visiting
players and a delegation of rooters
which came over 10 witness the game,
left the grounds in happy frame Of
mind.
Shaffer who pitched the first five
innings was touched up rather freely,
but to all appearances was improving
when he was replaced by Stephenson.

MYSTERY IN A OASK ct.
For the Secret Burial Of a Casket a Stranger
Offers 5000.

A mysterious, we'll dressed stranger
arrived at Montoursville on Thursday
and offered to pay Shelter & Son, un-
dertakers of that town, $500 if they
would take coffin twenty miles up
Loyalsock Greek and bury it in a
secluded spot to be designated by
him. The only provision that he re-
quired was that they sign an agree
ment to bury the coffin without open
ing it and ever afterward keep the
matter secret.
He said the coffin would arrive
from St. Louis and that it was to be
met at the train and Immediately con.
veyed to the chosen place of burial
without further question.
The undertakers declared they
would not enter into any agreement
to bury a coffin unless they knew what
it contained. The stranger was ap
parently much perturbed when he
found his proposition was not accept
ed. He then declared that if the
strictest secrecy was promised he
would withdraw the stipulation tha
the coffin should not be opened i
they would agree, after having seer
what it contained, to bury it in ac
cordance with his directions as pre-
viously outlined
When this proposition was alsC
spurned the stranger Immediately dis
appeared after visit to the telegraph
Office.

Notes From she Pennsylvania Experiment
Station.

For years the adulteration of coffee
by addition or substitution of other
substances has been matter of com.
mon knowledge; recently, however,
the tables have been turned and coffee
supplies the audulterant. A sample of
bran was submitted to the Experiment
Station, short time since, for exami-
nation, with the statement that horses
and cattle would not eat it. Chemical
analysis showed the presence Of 8 per
cent. ofprotein and nearly sc per cent.
of fiber or woody matter, whereas
average bran contains 1876 and 9 per
cent, respectively, of these constitu-
ents. Particles of yellow, tough,
parchment-like substance were pres
ent in large quantity they proved up
on microscopical examination, to be
portions of the inner seed-coat of the
coffee berry. This has recently been
put on the market as a cattle food
under the name "cornaline;" accord.
ing to analysis by the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station It contains only as
to 3 per cent of portein, S to Z per
cent. of fat and about 60 per cent. OF
fiber; so that it has an extremely low
value for feeding purposes and will
scarcely find sale upon its own merits.
1t may, however, like oat-hulls, ground
corn.cobs and similarly poor foods, be
employed as an adulterant. Mr.. Win
ton, of the Connecticut Experiment
Station, to whom a portion of the
sample was sent for examination, states
that he had received, only a day or
two earlier, sample of bran from
Massachusetts that proved to be adult
Grated with the same material. Farm.
ers should be on the lookout for this
admixture in the concentrated feeds
they buy; In Its coarser condition its
toughness and parchment like appear
ance will enable the buyer to discover
1t in many cases by the unaided eye,
Its microscopic appearance is highly
characteristic; the inner seed-coat of
the coffee having, when magni6ed by
thirty or forty diameters, peculiar
marking that much resembles that OF
the skin on the ball of the fingers.
No other such adulterant possesses
this distinctive marking.

Baron Clifford, master of the queens

nights rest for the queen. There is no

that for one hour the patients life
hung by thread. Even now, although
the queens physicians are exceedingly
reticent, it is known that her condi-
tion remains precarious, ari that
everything depends upon the strength
of the patients constitution.
