FORCE CUTTING
ICE AT FERNDAlE
Men Working Might and
Day Filling Store Houses
for Summer
HOW THE CROP is HARVESTED

People seldom realize when they are
slipping iced drinks during the hct summer
weather what privation and suf Sring are
endured by the men who harvest the ice
that makes the pleasant tinkiilg in the
Igla sses so welcome to thirsty, over-heat-
ed humanity.
Al present there are close ITO a hundred
and nifty men employed by uhe Consum-
ers' Ice Company, Of this city, busily at
work at Farndale, above Coat esville, Pa.
A great deal of haste ds necessary in
harvesting the ice as it muz be gotten
before a thaw sets in. The men work
both night and day. Arc lights. have been
strung about the lake so the men can
see how. to work. Therefore when the ice
Is Of sufficient thickness to cut every
minute is utilized until the workmen are
forced TO stop on account OF the thaw.
OF course the ice has to be harvested in
the coolest weather and a great deal of
suffering is expe rienced by the men en-
gagged in cutting and storing il. 1t is
not an infrequent occurrence for n man
to slip into the lcy water, but he is, quick
iy dragged out by his compaqions and
sent to the eabin to dry and thaw out
On Tuesday Tine men worked. handling
the ice whFe The thermometer stood at l2
degrees below zerD at the lake.
When the work of getting the ice is
started, horses attached to a saw-liloe cut
ter, which Is ghided similar to a plow, is
used. The lake is gone over and the
squares marked ont Men with saws then
cut out the blocks nqd they are shipped
to the bank. where an elevator takes
it to the big houses where 1T is stored
and later. shipped to"this city.
A big cabin. fitted out with bunk rooms
and long tables. where the meals are
served, similar to th,Dse Of lumber camps,
is built upon the bank. Here the men
live while harvesting the ice. This cab
in is furnished by he Consumers Ice
Company and ommodations are fur

The ice now being gotten from Farm

URGING DARLlNG'S CAUSE.
influential Men Favor Him For Secretary of
the Navy.

a Washington dispatch TO The World
dated June Il says: 'F'riends OF the
president are urging him to make AS
sistant Secretary Darling secretary Of
the navy.
Judge Darling is from Vermont,
and it was not thought until yesterday
that he had a chance, because his state
is safely Republican. He is being
strongly urged for the place by Sena-
tors Proctor and Ladge and other New
Euglanders. Ex-Governor Crane Of
Massachusetts saw Mr. Roosevelt to-
day in support OF Judge Darling, and
it is said that, instead of trying to Sc
cure the navy portfolio himself, Rep
resentative Dayton of West Virginia
is advocating the advancement of Dar-
ling.
THE president is inclined to make
the appointment, which would hold
only until next March, from some
doubtful state, where the selection
could be made to promote kepuDhcan
harmony.
There is talk that Representative
Metcalf may be made secretary of the
navy instead of being given Secretary
Cortelyou's place, but it is not taken
seriously. The appointment OF man
from the Pacific coast to succeed Mr.
Moody would arouse the enmity of the
shipbuilding firms OF the Atlantic
coast, who believe that their rivals on
the Pacific are already receiving too
much consideration

Levine a few weeks ago on the street

result was q trade and so anxious

the peddler had that be was willing to
pay s75 in cash in addition to his own
horse.
When it was in his possession a day
and he wanted to start out on his de-

Was "stone blind"
He went for Levine, but the latter
declares that he knew nothing about
the blindness and the trade was fair,
as far as he was concerned.
Bottum it is understood brought the
suit, and while he yet has the horse
and drives it, Levine has the funds
and is waiting developments.

10 INNINGS

Final Squirt by the Local
Team Won.
MCGUIRE HERO OF DAY
His Hit in the Tenth Brought in
Two Runs and Won the
Game.
MCGUIRE HERO OF DAY

Benniugton's base bali team Satur-
day afternoon again demonstrated the
truth of the old saying that "a game
is never ended until the last man is
out in the last inning" Incidentally
too, the local nine proved that it is
capable of putting up pretty good
article in the line of base ball.
Saturdays contest, especially the
finish, was certainly spectacular,
With two gone in the tenth inning
and the opposing team one score in
he lead, the game could not be consid-
cred anything but a. good as lost to
the locals. Mcclure was the last man
to bat for Bennington and il was one
Of the trying situations that test
players nerve. A hit meant victory,
for Austin was on third ready TO bring
in the winning run. The crowd be-
came frantic in its excitement and yell
ed like a lot of ghost dancers. In
spite of the strain, however, Mcclure
kept his head and raped out a single
that just escaped the Schaghticoke
fielder, and Austin romped home with
the needed score.
With one out in the first inning, a
base on balls, a hit and good base
running by Adams ard Keller gave
Bennington two runs. Coughlin made
a score for Schaghticoke.
Both teams drew blanks in the sec
ond inning.
Mcclure scored one for Bennington
in the third while Schaghticoke failed
to materialize.
The fourth inning didn't change the
figures.
Burkhart made one for Schaghti-
coke in the sixth, while Bennington
put another cipher in thescore column.
No one crossed the plate in the sixth
but in the seventh, Cronin added one
for Bennington.
