The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1903-07-01

The stoves of the middle ages and of
the era of the Roman empire and
throughout Germany and Scandinavia
generally were built of brick, tiles or
similar material and were so large as
to- be stationary, sometimes taking up
the whole side of room, and in the
latter country in winter the couches
and blankets were spread thereon and
the family used them in lieu of the
bedsteads of subsequent years.
The fire was built at the bottom, and
the heat and smoke passed through va
rious fiues, distributing warmth, before
they made their exit to the chimney.
Some of them were faced with pOrce-
lain and were highly ornamental.

Some Of New York Streets Flooded to
n Depth of Five Feet,

New York, June S0.-New York and
vicinity, as well as this part of the
country, we're flooded by downpour
of rain during which about half as
much water fell as in the prolonged
period Of wet weather this month.
The storm was accompanied by thun.
der and lightning, and several con.
spicuous spots were struck by bolts.
Streets in various sections Of Great
er New York were inundated and II is
expected the damage by water will be
great. The flocd was most serious
along the shore front, on South and
West streets in Manhattan and in the
Willlamsburgh section OF Brooklyn,
where much damage was done by
floods IL years ago.
For good portion ot the day here,
the water in some of the streets was
four and five feet deep and many fam
lilies were held prisoners in their
homes A novel sight was that of chill
dren going to school in rowboats.

Book Publishing In the Middle Ages.

When in the middle ages an author
at any European university desired to
publish his thoughts his book was read
over twice in the presence of the au-
thorities and if approved might be cop
led and exposed for sale, Il practice in
which the germs for state licensing
may be readily distinguished. 1t was
evidently necessary, however, to keep
Il strict watch over the persons en-
ployed in this business. and the stat
utes of the University of Paris show
that the booksellers were subjected to
very severe discipline. They were
obliged TO keep list of the books they
sold and to exhibit their scale of
charges, and they We're forbidden to
purchase any manuscript till it had
been duly approved by the authorities
and publicly exposed to view for four
days,

Madeira Island ROndH.

In the whole of the Madeira islands
there are no wheeled vehicles, for the
roads are too rough and mountainous.
There are a few heavy sledges drawn
by bullocks. but the favorite modes Of
locomotion are hammocks slung on
poles and borne by natives and basket
sledges. The latter are used for de.
scending the mountains and are skill
fully guided by a runner behind.

lyn Welch considers it almost a cer- tainty of his opening liquor store ln the metropolis. -Holyoke Transcript.
 The condition of Holyoke men at this stage of the game speaks volumes for their behavior during the season. Every man is fit with the exception of Captain Frank Fitzpatrick, who has played on his nerve for several weeks and who has played great ball at that. Fitzpatricks leg is bad and the play CTS, who know how bad it is, have the greatest admiration for his pluck in re- maining on duty. Ball players are not angels neither are many of them like ly ever to be canonized, but when a team is standing up under the drive like Holyoke, there is good evidence that the men have not abused the fine treatment accorded them in the Paper City. -,
 The Toledo Times has the following to say of former Connecticut leaguers: Red Owens did not make much of a success in the outfeld on the trip, his lack of speed in the big gardens mak- ing it hard for him to cover required territory. Ed Connors, the former To- cal guardian of the initial station tramped around the outfield yesterday, and it looked like old times to see his familiar figure. Ed has been with the New Orleans team in the Southern league, but was recently allowed to come north again. He says Joe Can tillon wants him for first base for next season, now that Jiggs Donohue is going to drift into the bigger league again. It is question whether Con- nors will be allowed to go to any other club, as he has played in the south. He originally belongs to Springfield. of the Connecticut league, and should have returned there after being re- leased here This is one of the reas- ons why he did not remain in the south.

AGAIN NO RACE.
Reliance Leads Her Rival by Two
 and a Half Miles.

Reliance Leads Her Rival by Two
 and Half Miles.
 NEW YORK, Sept. l. Again the beautiful cup defender Reliance failed to register her third victory over Lip tons challenger because the wind died to nothing. and the time limit of five and half hours expired before she could reach the finish line. She was less than half mile from the finish when the gun sounded. The poor old Shamrock was faint blur on the hori- zon, fully two and a half miles astern. Reliance's failure to score the race was the more exasperating because her ul- innate triumph is now conceded, even by Sir Thomas himself, to be simply formality. The superiority of the Her reshof boat in any kind of weather is acknowledged by the yachting critics of both sides of the Atlantic, and the latest luke only prolongs the agony of the contest that has already been de- cided.
 For the first time in the series Gap tain Wringe of Shamrock III. cleverly outgeneraled the redoubtable Captain Barr in the preliminary jockeying. Re Iiance was moving not more than four miles an hour and Shamrock III. was two miles and half astern of her when the committee boat signaled that the race was off.
 The regatta committee announced that the yachts would race again today.

WHEELMEN

The struggle for the sprinting cham pionship between Frank Kramer and Iver Lawson is the greatest in the his tory of the sport, with but two points separating the men who have fought all season for the honors. If Krarn CT wins the championship he is promised a $5O00 contract to race this fall in Paris, while if Lawson captures the laurels he will go to Australia on a $3,OOO contract and meet the champion of the antipodes for the worlds cham Under these circumstances 1t is not strange that both men are fighting tooth and nail to be crowned king of the American spinters. The championship season will end inside of a week and the final meetings between the Jersey flyer and the Salt Lake Mormon will be watched with great interest by lovers of cycle racing.

KNOCKED OUT BY BASEBALL
The Sensation and Effect. as Described
 by One Who Was Knocked Out.

The Sensation and Effect as Described
 by One Who Was Knocked Out.
 Judging from the recent experience of two ball players, rap on the head by swiftly pitched ball temporarily confuses the sense Of direction. Joe Yeager of Detroit, was hit on the head by pitched ball the other day and when he got to his feet lie started for third base. The same idea got into the head of Charlie Dexter of the Bos- ton Nationals last week after he had been knocked down by a speedy ball delivered by Jack Cronin of the New Yorks. Cronin was in good form that day and one of his fast ones caught Dexter on the cheek bone just back of the left eye. Dexter yesterday de- scribed his sensations as follows:
 ''I have been hit glancing blows by pitched ball which for the moment hurt more than the wallop Cronin gave me: but this was the first time I was ever knocked out. My head felt as if it was broken in pieces, and there was crushing sensation that was the worst thing about it. I was out about 20 seconds, and when I came to asked Tim Hurst how I went down. You didn't fall backwards or forwards said Tim, but went straight down like man going down a well. One leg was in the air.
 ''The first thing I was conscious of when came to was Hurst opening my eye and looking into it. And when I started to play, such a headache! Then realized that I must take my base and I ran down to third base. I finally got my bearings and my posi- ton at first base. When Mathewson was pitching in later game I lost track of his curve balls completely. I could see the straight ones, but the curves faded from my sight I wasn't right for several days. If I had to go more than 10 feet for fly ball I felt as if was going to lose it, and it was more luck than anything else that I managed to get hold of the ball.''

HOLYOKE AVERAGES.
Standing of the Players Who Have the
 Pennant Won.

The Ho1yoke players are maintain ing their great pace with the stick and in this respect the work of Rossman is standing out so strongly that major league magnates are beginning to ask questions about the Connecticut league lad. Rossman is sure to be the lead- ing batsman of the league and Batch looks like a good choice for second honors Heine is hitting again at something near his right clip and is due for a good finish. The fielding, too, is remarkably fast and at times comes close to being the equal of that done by any team in the country.
