STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Emporium nine played the return
game at Ridgway last Saturday and
evened up matters with that club, the
score being 5 to in favor of En-
porium.
Manager Falk, decided to give the
young players a try out and is much
pleased with the showing they made.
While the boys are yet little nervous,
it is expected they will soon round
into shape. Our people must not expect
too much from the start from the boys,
little encouragement is what is need
ed, and then after a thorough try out,
if they do not make good, they will be
given their release. Dr. Falk means
to be fair with all, and if player
should not be able to keep up his end
and be dropped, there should be no
hard feelings towards the management
The demands of the public must be
complied with, if their support is ex-
pected. The score:

Epworth League Convention.

The 18th annual convention of the
Williamsport District Epworth League
held in the First M. E. Church of this
place on May Is, 16 and II, was a great
success. There were about 65 or 70
delegates present and all received some
very good Instructions and were high
ly pleased with the convention, and all
who attended the meeting from town
received good cheer, and our Local
Chapter was inspired by it and are
pushing on with new vigor. All who
missed the convention miseuu a rare
treat. The addresses on the three even
ing were we'll worth hearing. The first
night Rev. Morris Il. Swartz, of Clear
field, gave an address; the second night
Rev. IL. r. Bender, OF Lock Haven,
and the last night DR.. Thos. r. Tho
burn, or erie. All three are excellent
spea&ers. The convention will be held
81 Mountoursville, Pa, next year.

WASHINGTON LITTER.
From our Regular Correspondents


midsummer but some of the ener-
getic political al; smists came out
this week with sensation in the
shape of yarn that Secretary Cor
telyou was a secret enemy of the
President, that he had been
strengthening himself to make the
race for the Presidential nomina-
tiOn next year, and was quietly
doing all he could to handicap
Secretary Taft in Ohio. This is
about as far fetched a story as could
be imagined. 1t may be true that
Secretary Cortelyou has president
ial ambitions, who has not? But
he is clever enough not to enter
tain them for 1908. In fact even
his enemies will admit that Mr..
Cortelyou is too clever to even do
an impolitic thing or attempt the
impossible. 1t has been said of
him that he was so smooth he haC.
TO wear sandpaper pajamas to keep
from slipping out of bed. And
that would not be in keeping with
trying to wreck the Taft boom or
start himselfin the race of 1908.
AS a matter Of fact Mr. Cortel-
you, the President. and Secretary
Taft are all good friends. Mr.
Cortelyou is much the youngest
man of the three. He came up
from u White House stenographer
to be a cabinet officer, and that is
doing very well for a man scarcely
turned forty. 1t is quite on the
cards that he may try for the nomi-
nation in 1912 if he is alive and
we'll then, as there seems every
probability he viii lbe. But it can
be safely said that the is not inject
ing himself into the Ohio fight at
this stage Of the game.
Senator Fairbanks launched his
boom in a modest way at Philadel-
phia this week. 1t is interesting
to note that he spoke strongly in
favor of expansion and 1.-The pres
ent commercial policy which is
another way of saying that the
tariff must not be touched. But
the world does not seem to have
been disturbed in itsorbit very much
as the result of the announcement.
One of the most serious things
in the political line is the report
that desperate efforts are being
made to line up the coming trans
Mississippi convention in Denver
against the President and all the
western policies of the Administra-
tion. 1t is generally believed there
is something lin this. But the
movement is thought to come from
the big railroads and other corpor-
ate interests of the west and not
from the people. Senator elect
Guggenheim, member of the
Smelter Trust family, is said to be
one of the prime movers in the af-
fair. The railroads that have
been headed off in their efforts TO
grab hundreds Of thousand of acres
OF government coal lands and the
lumber interests that have been
baked in the same way 81 timber
grabbing schemes aFt all said to be
interested. It II to the advantage
Of these people to make all the
western policies of the administfa-
tion sppear in as bad q light as
possible. The. nave mere chance
sn attacking the gFogest Reserve
orders than in anything else, and
an effort is being made to rniaiead
the public as far as possible <egard-
ing the government rolicy in
handling "a lands vi all sorts

Emporium and st. Marys played
their first game in the hj-county
league yesterday afternoon, at Key
stone park grounds and the latter were
defeated to 0. The ST. Marys team
were not able to solve Hemphilps de-
livery to any advantage and when
they did connect, good fielding by the
home team put a stop to their chances
to score. The hits made by the
St. Marys were mostly of S, -atchy
order. While but two of the runs
made by the home team were earned,
loose fielding and errors by the visitors
added to the total. This now gives
Emporium the lead in the race with
the advantage of one game.
The next games TO be played here will
take place next Thursday, between
Johnsonburg and the locals, morning
and afternoon, and liberal patron
age is expected.

UNITED HATTERS WANT
THE UNION LABEL
RETAINED
General Strike Possible If
Open Shop Idea IS
Adopted.
MANUFACTURERS HAVE
DECIDED AGAINST MEN

New York, July 24.-The first gen.
eral strike in twelve years of the Uni
ted States Of America. involving about
10000 men, is now threatened against
the open shop, which the National
Fur Felt Hat Manufacturers asso-
citation proposes to introduce. The
open shop declaration is contained in
a resolution by the manufacturers to
abolish the union label.
Union Strong.
The United Hatters of America
embrace practically every workman
employed in the hat factories of the
United States, hence a general strike
would mean that the manufacturers
must break in" new employees. The
union Is not only strong In member
ship, but also financially, and can
well handle a strike. 1t won out in
its last struggle thirteen years ago.
The present strike is largely due
to a desire on the part Of the manu-
facturers to do away with treating
with the union in all matters con-
cerning their employees. They do not
propose to cut the scale Of wages nor
demand longer hours of labor, but
are anxious to treat with their men
as individuals hiring whom they
please and discharging men whom
they DO not want.
