"A Titusville nine gave Tionesta about
the poorest exhibition of ball playing last
Wednesday afternoon that our town has
been afflicted with for many a day. If
that town has nothing better on its list it
ought to see to it that none of them escape
the city limits hereafter, for it is very
tiresome to outside places where they have
players. The score stood Is to 5 in favor
of Tionesta at the close of the fasco.
Marienville is booked for game here
next Friday afternoon, when it is hoped
our fans may see real game of ball.
The tanning business in Pennsyl-
vania will soon have to depend on some
other than the local supply of bark for its
tannin, thinks the Titusville Courier
Tanic acid from chestnut timber is now
being largely used, and certain plants,
which might be cultivated in different
sections of the country, contain a large
| percentage of tannin, which may ulti-
mately be substituted for bark for the
purpose of making leather. There is still, ,
however, considerable hemlock bark in
this country but it is rapidly consumed,
and must he exhausted in comparatively
few years.
The Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety of the M. Il. Church held their 22nd
annual convention in this place May q

tary, presided at all The meetings, in the
absence of the president. Thirty-four
delegates and visitors were in attendance.
A great interest was manifesto through
out all sessions. Miss Jennie Scott gave
very interesting talks on her works in
the South. Excellent papers were read
and discussed on missions. A vote of
thanks was rendered the Epworth League
for their excellent music. The ladies
accepted an invitation to meet at Emlen-
ton in 1904. -
Sunday dinners will hereafter, dur
ing the hot summer months, be special
ty at Hotel Weaver, the proprietor hav-
ing inaugurated this feature mainly for
the accommodation of those who would
rather take their dinner out than trouble
themselves on Saturdy evening hunting
up the necessary condiments for the
noontide repast on the Sabbath, thus
avoiding the still more irksome duty of
preparing it hurriedly after church. Mr..
Weaver will sell family tickets for these
special dinners at such rate as will
make it an object to all who would econ
omize in time, labor and price in the
preparation of the meal at home.
The Franklin News hits upon an idea
that may stop all warlike preparations, if
it should gain currency in authoritive
circles, until the matter has been thor
oughly investigated. The News says:
The building of battle-ships seems nee
essary, but what will they amount to if
some inventor makes thoroughly prac-
tical air ship capable of crying even one
man and few hundred pounds of dyDa-
mite? Where is the armor that would
save cruiser from the dropping of dyna-
mite sticks by soldier five hundred
feet above it? The creation OF an air.
ship that will allow of safe transit will
end many things and among them for
mer methods of warfare.
