Miss May Keller, of Cumberland,
spent last Sunday i'll town as the guest
of the Misses Williams.
John HI. Trescher, editor OF the Jean
nette (Pa.) Dispatch and Monessen pa
Times, was here Sunday to see his
parents. Mr.. Trescher appears to regret
that he added the Times to his news
paper holdings, "aS one paper is enough
for any man to attend to-" He is sheriff
of his county, however, which may de-
tract from his enthusiasm. Otherwise,
he might run two with ease and still
have time to write advertising schedules
for the county commissioners. The
JOURNAL likes Mr.. Trescher.
Horace Beall, of Baltimore, has been
called here on account of the illness of
his brother, DIN Bcall
H. H. Little, of the Western Mary
land Telephone company, did a clever,

Tuesday and Wednesday.

| love the home run best.
The game at Homecoming last Satur-
day-interesting contest-was won by
the local team by 6 to 4.
The "Mets," writes Keno played a
good game under the circumstances
Indeed, but for Il few errors made at
critical moments the story would be
different.
Flanagan, the new pitcher, made his
debm in metropolitan uniform. He
was there all right at every stage and
the loss of the game cannot be attrib-
uted to him.
Jackson caught and showed want of
practice. But his throwing to base was
very good. 1t is a safe prediction that
Jackson will be all right.
The old reliable and the very best
first baseman i'll this section, George
Gunnett, showed up i'll good FORM
fielding and batting as if it We're the
middle of July instead of the first game
of the season.
Taylor, at second, played i'll excellent
style.
Metz, at short, and Capt. Gunnett, at
, third, We're ''off' and showed IA woeful
A-want of recent practice.
Haines, the new out-tielder, is a fast
man; he can and does cover lots of
ground, has good Judgment and IA good
throwing arm. He was 'Otf' in strik
ing, though he can and will hit the ball
hard and often with little more
practice.
John Spates' catch in center-tield was
the feature of the game and brought out
round of applause.
Gerlach III right-field had little or
nothing to do, though Phil. looks like
he is in perfect condition and fit to play
the season of his life.
Bob Ohr has gotten together an ag-
gregation of ball-tosSers that the people
of Homecoming may justly feel proud of,
and any club that wins game from
them will know they have been playing
ball.
Geisberg, the twirler, is good one
sure enough.
His left-hand delivery is puzzling to
the very best of batters, and with good
support he can pitch as well as the best,
no.matter where they come from.
Raley is good catcher, and the boys
behind Geisberg played i'll the very best
of form. The crowd appreciated their
efforts and encouraged them i'll every
manner.
James Williams, the popular out
fielder of the Midland club, umpired the
game We extend him our hand and
congratulate him on his good Judgment
His decisions We're rendered honestly,
and at no time was there semblance of
kick to mar the pleasure of the game.
The following is the score by innings:

more generous aud genuine than those
of his fellow-employees.

Luther was the whole thing for the visitors:
He made half of his teams safetles and
batted III three of the four runs. Metz, Will
Hams and Urben fielded well and Lytle's

tunes second error, a bunt, and throwing
the ball around, won in the tenth for the

to the train, the traveller in Japan
shows his ticket at a little gate. A
boy not man, punches it, 1t is re-
markable how many things of a re-
sponsible character are done by boys
in the empire. The person in the
booking Office is also a boy, as is the
guard on the train. Conductors, as
we understand them, are dispensed
with on most of the Japanese trains.
l was informed that the employment
of boys was necessary because train
and station-hands must speak some
English; and, aside from statesmen,
1t is only the younger generation in
Japan that can speak our language
The traveller finds no porters or 9TH
er train employees standing at car
steps to examine tickets and give d.
rections. Every necessary bit of infor-
nation is supplied by signs in both
English and Japanese. All cars are
clearly labeled; and while nobody
watches the traveller, it is a serious Of
Tense to get into a tirst-class coach
with a second-clasS ticket While
there is usually no particular induce
ment to attempt such a violation of
the regulations of the country save
perhaps to minister to the pride while
saving the pocket of the traveller, it
is a marvel that the law is not fire.
quently broken, Tor on most of the
trains no employe appears to exam
inc tickets. The boy that accom-
panies the train seldom comes into
contact with foreigners. His business
is to herd the natives on and off, and
to signal the engineer.
At the end of the journey the pas
senger must surrender his ticket as he
passes through another gate Tn
familiar with this custom, I managed
somehow, upon my first arrival at a
japanese. railway terminal, to get past
the boy collector. / had walked
through the station, and was about
to get into jinrikish, when an excited
lad in uniform rushed toward me and
demanded, in passable English, to
know why I had not surrendered my
ticket.

JAPAN'S RAILWAYS.
What the Trains Are Like-RuIes
About Tickets. Etc.

What the Trains Are Lfke-Rules
About Tickets. Etc.
Harold Bolce in the September Book
lovers Magazine.
The railway traveller in Japan buys
first. second, or third-class ticket
or, if he wishes to go cheaper STILL he
can get a ticket emitting him simply
to stand OH the platform! Many of the
cars can be entered either from the side
or the end. The principal difference
between the first and second-class
coaches is the color OF the upholstery
None of the cars are very clean. Many
of the third-class coaches could serve,
without much alteration as ordinary
pigsties. This is all the more remark
able when the Incompatible cleanliness
Of the japanese home life, even of the
humblest, is taken into consideration.
An explanation of this may be that the
japanese have little regard for the
cleanliness of any place where they
keep their shoes or clogs on. The Eu-
ropean room, for example, which has
been established in a few Japanese
homes. is the only apartment in the
whole house that is not kept scrupu-
lousy swept, busted, oiled and FURNISH
ed. So, too, with the Japanese inns.
Those that are maintained in native
style are sweet and clean; those that
have become Europeanized are usual
ly Uttered with cigarette stumps, fruit
Feelings and cores, and other debris.
An American Pullman with its
crowded and unavoidable intimacies, Is
a decent and polite hermitage compared
with a packed coach in Japan. All sorts
of unexpected things happen. Daring
ablutions are performed and complete
change of raiment is frequently effect
ed, the constantly recurring tunnels
serving to screen the astonishing char
acters of these programmes. -..
The floor of third-class coaches is
an unswept riot of the fiotsam and jet
sam that usually follows in the wake
of certain kinds of human craft the
world over. A bowery picnic crowd,
abandoned to peanuts, popcorn and
bananas, never marked a more con-
spicuous trail than a lot of Japanese
peasants en- route. Only, with the
japanese, it is all a very solemn af-
fair. Travel seems to afford fitting
opportunity to discard all kinds of per-
sonal wreckage. All forms of aban-
doned odds and ends of things begin
to identify the itinerary from the very
start. OF course, the foreign traveller
who wades through this car-strewn
waste does so to gain experience 1t
is not a pursuit of happiness.
Upon starting from the outer station
The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-09

I found the slip of cardboard and
handed it to him. He spoke, with evil
dent passion. to the japanese coolie who
was about to serve me in the capacity
of horse, and rushed back to the Of
flee. l learned afterwards that I had
committed a serious breach of the law,
and that l should have followed that
excited boy in uniform and secured
formal remission of my offense.
Although the miles of railway al
ready built and in use in the dimnu-
tive country of Japan would make a
double track across the American con-
tinent, the Sunrise Kingdom has reach
ed only the first period in its railway
age. When the lines now under con-
struction and proposed are complete,
Japan will have 10000 miles of track.
Its railway men estimate that during
the coming decade their country will
purchase 1000 locomotives, 10000 pas
senger coaches, and $50 freight cars.
Here is an opportunity for American
enterprise; for there is a tendency on
the part of the Japanese, just at pres
ent, to look to the United States for
ideas in regard to railway equipment
and management. Hitherto England
has been Japan's model in railway af-
fairs.
