Four Men She Tilted Take Revenge
for the Wounds That She
Dealt Them.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. August 1.-THE
only excuse for their ungallant conduct
that Harvey and William Rittenbender.
Elmer. Keller and Harvey Wicand have
offered is that pretty Miss Wasser Tilted
them all. one after the other.
To salve their wounded affections the
boys. from sixteen to eighteen years old.
united in revenging themselves upon her
who had been the common object of their
love.
Miss Wasser and her former sweet
hearts live at East Macungie. a village
near here.
One night recently after the girl had
given them all the mitten and they had
vainly tried to console each other, they
fixed a weight attached to a long string 70
her bedroom window and with the
weights ''tic-tac. tic-tac' kept her awake
with horrid fears of ghosts and burglars
1t was very warm Sunday night and the
pretty coQuette slept with her window
open. The four oken-hearted but venge-
full youths filled potato sprayers with wa
ter, and with them slung over their Shout
ders noiselessly climbed a ladder to the
top of the porch and Miss Wasser's win
dow.
Then at a silent signal the four deluged
the girl with the water from the sprayers.
She awoke shrieking.
Her cries aroused her father, ]. c. Was
ser. merchant. and he swears he recog-
nized the four conSpirators. Mr.. Wasser
hurried to Emaus. swore out a warrant
before justice off the peace charging
the boys with malicious mischief and dis
orderly conduct and they were arrested.

clattered in and the tugs pulled up with
the barges: and from hundreds of miles
away the trains were rushing hither,
bringing more boxes and barrels ana

In gangs at every hatchway the 40
men were trundling. heaving. straining a

hoarse shouts of the foremen; while from

handfuls of cargo. swing them back up
to the deck of the ship and then down in

Delegates to the Central Labor Union
desire executive sessions of that organi-
zation hereafter and 1t Is probable the
representatives Of the press will be ex-
cluded from future meetings. The ques-
ton came before the body at a session
last night, when John Templar. a dele
gate from the Typographical Union. in
troduced a resolution providing that the
session of the central body "shall be ex-
ecutive. and the body shall work under
the regular password of the American
Federation Of Labor; provided, that a
member of a union may be permitted to
sit In a meeting as visitor upon being
vouched for by some delegate to the Gen.
trail Labor Union"
Several of the members of the body
have contemplated for some time past
the adoption Of q measure which will
exclude the press. and the outcome of
the question will be awaited with inter-
est by many of the members of the union.
n. c. Sprager was chosen temporary
chairman of the grievance committee.

QUO|1S TOURNEY COINS ON
INTERESTING CONTEST AT
WASHINGTON GROVE.
Finals Will Be Played on Labor
Day-Dr. Albert Osborn
Now Leading.

Quot pitching is regarded by players
and others conversant with the game as
one of the most healthful and attractive
forms of recreation. Distinct.vely a game
of skill. ii requires strength. agility. nerve
and good eyesight.
No authority can be found that can say
with any degree of certainty the year
that QUOT pitching was first played. but
1t is probably of English or Scotch origin.
The sport has BEEN INDUCED in in this
country in various forms for the past
fifty years. the evolution being from the
old original game of hand-clutch quoits.

Motors On Car Tracks.
To the Editor Of The Star:

While ! don't assume to possess SUM-
cient knowledge to run the universe or

Columbia. and deprecate appearing In

zling the dogs. preventing whistling and
driving taxpayers out of the parks hot
summer nights. few ordinances possess
ing real merit may be adopted.
1t is about time to keepthe Automobiles
on the car tracks and to abolish glaring
headlights in city motoring. Last FRI
day night about II O'Clock, when about to
alight from a car ON the side next the ad-
joining track. at the corner of 21st street
and Pennsylvania avenue, 1 noticed the
double headlights on an approaching auto
mobile. and remained on the steps of the
car until ] was able to decide whether
there was room enough between that au-
tomobile and the car for me to stand
without being knocked down. the binding
headlights adding discomfort. BY doing
so l avoided the possibility of an acct
dent.
colored woman alighted from the rear
car of the train about the same time the
automobile got to her position. and was
struck by the side guard Of the automo-
bile. knocked fiat upon the street and sus-
tanned bruises from the contact with the
auto car and her fall to the asphalt pave
ment. II was no doubt due to the watch
fulness Of the motorman of the train,
who in anticipation of what happened
kept his train at standing and avoided the
possibility Of his car catching and drag
ging the woman. II is needless to say
that the woman's life was in jeopardy.
She was able to get up and go home, and
refused to give her name etc.
Some OF the passengers on the car
yelled, screamed and made other loud
noises. which the motorist must have
heard. I yelled out to him to stop. say
ing that I knew his number, which, how
ever, I did not. much to my regret. The
occupants of the automobile evidently
knew something was wrong. because the
woman riding in the tonneau turned
around The machine contained the driver
a woman on the seat adjoining and one in
the rear. They refused to stop
There was absolutely no necessity for
this man motoring on the car tracks
There was not another moving vehicle in
sight on his side Of the street, therefore
leaving no reason for this dastardly cow
ard to take chances of killing people get
ting of the cars. If any of the party in
the automobile should happen to recognize
this article, they may feel assured of my
extreme willingness to prosecute them If
they will disclose their identity. and to
convict them II can secure SUFFICIENT wit
nesses. which ] firmly believe may be
done.
Is 1t not possible to keep these reckless
people on the car tracks?
