Formerly in France orders for toys
were taken by the big firms and were
filed almost entirely at the homes Of the
employees. but Of late years the in
creased use Of machinery has done away

and scores Of old hands have been dis

appeal the kindly disposed ofhcial in

At the first exhibition eight years ago
there were only thirty exhibits. but now

Striking Similarity IN the Scoring Totals

Figure Combinations In tho Game.
The favorite number OF runs scored
by one or both sides In o baseball game
Is two. At least this Is true IL the games
in the two major baseball leagues last
season are criterion. In the National
Lea que and In the American League in
1908 two was the prevailing figure In
scoring runs. Either by one or the other
OF the competing teams two runs were
made oftener than no runs, one run, three
runs, four runs and 20 on up To the highest
total for q single game. n.
Just what coordination OF batting.
fielding, pitching and base running it IL
that produces two runs in a game more
frequently than any other number Ii
something for the sayant, the expert in
the laws OF baseball mathematics, to
figure out IL he can. There is reason
for this ratio OF two runs to the batting,
pitching. fielding and base running. the
four cardinal principles Of baseball.
That is shown by the preponderanoe Of
that number and by the fact that two
runs occur oftenest and almost the sane
number OF times In both leagues. Last
wear two runs were scored 21s times In
the American League and 22t times In the
National League.
Furthermore, there is a striking simi-
larity In other figures giving the number
Of runs scored by one or the other OF the
two leagues. In the National League last
season one run was q teams total In q
game iss times and in the American
League 200 times. The number OF times
In which team failed to score at all was
1e5 in the National League and 1s1 In the
American. Incidentally. the National
League therefore piled up more shutouts
than it's sister league.

One .oF the chief efforts OF James
MARITIME, who harangued crowd at the
court house, on Saturday, was to show
that the farmers were being sorely pressed
and were not given.a fair chance to get
profitable living these days. He dwelt
largely upon the price of wheat and spoke
of the inability of the good farmers of
Burlington county" to sell their wheat at
good figures. Of course everybody around
this neighborhood knows that Burlington
county farmers have long since ceased to
compete with the West in this line. But
Mr.. MARITIME did not touch upon the potato
crop and the good prices that our farmers
have been marketing other vegetables for.
Richard 81. Edmonds, of Baltimore, has
been making study of the subject of
agriculture and has recently made re-
port on his findings. The exhibit by the
Maryland statistician is such as to cor
roborate, as never before, the oft-repeated
statement that whatever might be said
about other business classes in the country,
it Is nevertheless true that the American
farmer Is prospecting, and has done SO, all
through the past eight years, as never
before in our history, beside which cor
responding development In industrial and
commercial lines, as conjectured, must
be relegated to subordinate position.
The statement is made that in all prob
ability Secretary Wilson's estimate of the
years value of all farm products at s., 600
600, 900 is too low, but ignoring that point
and accepting the Secretary of Agricul-
lures dictum, the fact is brought out that
since 1870, within thirty eight years, the
aggregate in question has quadrupled;
since 1890 1t has almost trebled, and since
the opening Of the new century it has
gained fully twenty-fiv per cent. During
all of the twenty years from 1870 to 1890,
during the time spent in recuperating from
the panic of 1878 and in the following de-
cade, in which our railway systems were
expanded so enormously, the increase in
the total values of farm products was
small, nosSexceed twenty-five per cent,
even in the thirty years, generation from
1870 to 1900, the increase was but one and
one-half times, but in the past eight years
1t was half billion dollars more than the
total advance in value from 1870 to 1900

Riverton.

This borough was considerably agitated
last week on account of an assault made
on G. Cecil Filter by the telegraph opera
tor at the railroad station, Charles f.
Silverthorn.
Silverthorn, whose home is in Darby,
Penna., and who has been stationed here
as operator only little more than month,
works from 8 p. m. to II p. N. On Tues
day night shortly before s o'clock Mrs.
Filler called the station over the telephone
and silverthorn answered She asked if
he would have three Pullman car tickets
reserved for her from Broad Street Sta
ton to New York. He replied that he
would look after the matter, but could
make no definite promise. Soon after
ward she called again and insisted that he
make definite promise to get the tickets,
and he replied that he would do the best
he could.
1t is at this point that the exact nature
of the conversation is In dispute. The
allegation is that Mrs. Filter asked Sill
verthorn his name, and when he refused
to give it she said she would have him
discharged in the morning. Then 1t was
that Silverthorn is alleged to have made
an insulting remark. The operator says
he only told her he would do his best to
comply with her request In this he is
corroborated by Howard Armstrong, the
baggage master, and Walter Elliott,
resident of this place, both of whom were
In the ticket Office when the conversation
took place.
Mrs Filter reported the affair to her
husband, and he left at once for the
station In company with his brother, Dale
Filter, and Godfrey Degerberg, of Phila-
delphia, a guest, to demand an explana-
ton. There is also dispute concerning
exactly what took place in the station.
Some words passed between the three Wis
itors and Silverthorn, and the latter was
invited to come outside to fight, an in
vitation which he declined. Dale Filter,
1t is alleged, started to break into the Of
flee, but was held back by his brother
Then O. G. Filter broke clasp holding
a screen in front of package window,
two feet above the floor, and started to
climb through. An instant later Filter,
it is said, struck Silverthorn on the eye
with his fist, knocking him against desk
Then Silverthorn seized Ratchet, and
dealt Filter blow on the arm. Filter
was carried out. and the wound was
dressed by DIR. G. s. Mills. The cash is
about five inches long. extending from
the shoulder.
A warrant was at once sworn out be-
fore William E. Hires, a Justice of the |
Peace of Palmyra, charging Silverthorn |
with assault and battery, and he was ar
rested and held in $500 bail for hearing |
on Wednesday. When again arraigned |
on Wednesday morning he waived hear
ing, and was held in $1,000 bail for court.
His bond was furnished by William M.
Thomas, coal dealer, OF Palmyra. )
