Washington. oct 3.-The Interior
Department has handed down decis-
ion holding up all mineral leases in the
Creek Nation thus far negotiated. The
decision is severe blow to capitalists
in st. Louis and other western cities
who have invested large sums Of money
in the development of oil and coal
fields in the Nation.
Prior to the enactment of the Creek
treaty oil and coal leases had been
secured and large sums of money spent
in developing coal and OIL properties.
number of valuable coal mines are
now in operation in the vicinity of Red
Fork, and oil wells are being sunk in
the same locality. The operations at
present are going on under contracts
made with members of the nation who
have made their selections. These
selections. however. have not been APP
proved by the Dawes commission. and
probably will not be for six months to
come Patents to the allottees viii be
issued some time within the next year,
but until this occurs no individual
leases for the mining of coal and oil
are of any validity whatever.

Crazy King Restored.

Paris, France, Oct. s.-King Otto of
Bavaria, after twenty-five years of
hopeless insanity, has recovered his
reason and speaks freely and sensibly.
He does not know of the deaths of his
mother and brother, Louis III, and is
not aware that he himself is king. He
speaks of the events of 1876 as if they
happened yesterday.
If his recovery is permanent the gov
ernment will be obliged to notify par
lament and this will end the regency
of Prince Leopold.

BABY SHOW A SUCCESS.
Seventy Babies Entered-The Ven
ture Agreeably Disappointed the
Ladies in Charge-The Winners.

The baby show which the Ladies'
guild of Trinity church undertook with
some misgiving. but to which they ad-
dressed themselves with characteristic
resolution and viGor, took place yes
terday in the parish house and was q
splendid success. 1t was one of the
most interesting enterprises ever under
taken by the ladies and they feel
doubly gratiied over the results. In
the first place it was most interesting
and entertaining, affording a rare
afternoon to the workers and the pa
irons: secondly, it was source of con-
siderable revenue for the guild treas
urv.
SiXty-siX babies were on show. This
number was entered. but there were
many more cute, interesting little ones
present. whose age, being over the two-
year limit. debarred them.
When the little ones were presented
by their mothers at the door. the
judges. Mesdames w. j. Baker, Stephen
Whitmore and j. d. Stocker, weighed
each one, and pinned on the exhibit
number. Afterwards came the interest
ing work of deciding who of the babes
merlted the four prizes that We're Of

be said IA period of admiration of the
babies, the judges awarded the prizes

awarded to John Russell Price.sso Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Reese Price, of Park
street.
Second Prize-Silver spoon. Awarded
to son of Mr. and Mrs. William Alex
ander, of Wayne street. AS the fattest
baby This baby was not the fattest in
the show, but the fattest in proportion
to its age, which was three months. 1t
was the age which guided the judges
in their decision.
Third Prize-Silver mug, finest speci-
men; twins prize. Awarded to babes OF
Mr.. and Mrs. MO. Abbey. of Terrace
street.
The winner of the fourth prize, a
celuloid silver rattle, was accidentally

FASTEST OF SEASON.
Crescents Defeat Carbondale Team in
Fine Came by Score Of a.4.

The snappiest, most gingery, fastest,
in short the best game Of the season
was played on Duffy's field yesterday
afternoon when the Crescents redeemed
themselves after the defeat of last
week, by winning out against the Car
bondale team No. 2, by the score of S-4.
The game was so closely contested
that it was not until the Crescents got
the last man out in the ninth inning
that they called the game theirs.
In bestowing credit for the victory, no
man can claim the lions share. 1t
was game in which everybody had a
chance to distinguish himself. There
was good batting, there was sharp field
ing and there was daring base running.
There was splendid work in the pitch
er's box on both sides. McAndrew, Of
the Crescents, was in exceptionally good
form, the best he has been this season.
He had the heaviest batters of the year
against him. but he moved down four
teen of the Carbondale team. Richard
Fleming, who came all the way from
Archibald to help the Carbondalans to
victory, If possible, did well, exceedingly
well, but was unfortunate in having the
hits against him made when men were
VII DuSeS. olle VI TWO lIGlueTS eTTOIS
on long hits made the runs count
against him.
The gilt-edge ball that was put up
has rarely been equalled here in an am
ateur game, and the 1000 rooters had
chances galore to applaud and become
excited The game fairly abounded in
star plays, but the one that, over
reached them all. that fairly electrified
the cranks was the sensational catch Of
Il fly in deep centre by nimble-footed
Will Hull. Emmett laced one out that
every one guessed would be lost. Hull
started away and ran like deer after
the sailing sphere. No one dreamed he
would ever come near it, But Hull
chased after it. jumped in the air, al
most turning a back somersault. He
went down on his back, more on his
head, his feet kicking in the air. But
he had the ball and clung to it, 1t
was marvellous catch, such as but
only Il handful present ever witnessed,
and Hull was the hero of the game.
Monahan played wonderful game at
short and surprised even his most ard
ent and hopeful admirers. Monahan is
truly promising yOungster and his
work justities some rosy predictions.
His fielding easily led in yesterdays
game. Byrnes. Cuff and Emmett, Nc
Hale and Nealon shared the batting
hOnOrs.
Up to the seventh inning the score
was tie 4-4. In this inning long
drive to centre brought in two runs.
In the eighth another long drive to the
same place and an error netted two
more, which cinched the game.
The detailed score follows:

1t is true that very strong coffee of

TWO SMALLPOX CASES.
Another Member Of Thompson Fam

Scranton, Confirms Diagnosis.

in Carbondale.
The second case was discovered yes
terday. The victim is another of the
Thompson family. His name is Thomas
Thompson aged fourteen. The physi-
clan temporarily in charge of the other
case observed symptoms of the younger
Thompson yesterday, which on closer
investigation proved the case to be one
of variloid.
The case of the older Thompson is
progressing. He was somewhat more
sick last night, but is not in a danger
GUS condition.
There is no doubt now that both cases
are genuine smallpox, though not of a
virulent type. Dr.. j. w. Houser, Of
Taylor, who is in charge of all the
cases in Scranton. came to Carbondale
yesterday afternoon, and after visiting
the Thompson home. on Hospital street,
and examining both patients. he un-
hesitatingly confirmed the Carbondale
physicians diagnosis. There was no
doubt in his mind, Dr. Houser said,
that both young men have smallpox.
The house has been carefully quar-
antined by Sanitary. Policeman Moffitt
and all the members of the family, to-
gether with those who associated with
the Thompson family Just prior to the
outbreak, have been carefully vaccin-
ated. 2.
AS yet no physician has been appoint
ed to take care of the cases. that is, to
devote himself exclusively to watching
and administering to the patients. The
absence of the board of health is re-
sponsible for this deplorable condition.
Owing to the powers peculiar to the
board of health bodies, both councils
and the mayor are circumscribed in
their action. Select council in the
meantime is being looked to to meet at
once to act on the names sent in by
Mayor O'Neill several months ago. Ac-
tion, prompt and effective. is necessary
to meet this possible epidemic of small
poX, and if select council fails to do it's
duty, then it is likely that steps will
be taken to compel the members to ac-
tion who are responsible for blocking
the means of dealing with the danger
GUS situation that confronts the city.
